Re: A very OP Christmas Part 1...

[Cryonix]

Jillian: Now you know how we felt, honey.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex: Heh.... well..... here goes......

He looks at the paperwork and fills in the relevent names.

.....Connor James Edwards.....

Elizabeth Tamara Edwards......

..... Nicholas Alexander Edwards.....

and..... Natalie.......

......OH! We don't have a middle name for Natalie yet!

[Pockets]

Alexis is wincing as the IV is being put in.

Alexis: I knew we forgot something... any ideas?

[Cryonix]

Jillian chuckles at the two's nervousness...then something dawns on her...

Jillian: Alex....is it weird to see another woman....'penetrate' your wife?

[Cruel Britannia]

He starts scanning the hospital room for inspiration.

Alex: Um.....

He realises he's not going to find anything and is looking very stupid.

.... no that won't work.....

He looks at his mother incredulously.

.... I'm trying not to think about penetration at the moment mother.... all things considered it's been a while.

[Pockets]

Alexis: I don't think you'll find a name looking around here... hmm... Connor was named for my side of the family and Elizabeth and Nicholas were named for both sides... so Natalie's middle name maybe should come from your side of the family?

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex: That seems fair...... um..... well Elizabeth is mum's middle name...... how about Erin? Natalie Erin Edwards?

[Pockets]

Alexis' eyes light up.

Alexis: That sounds really nice.

There is an answering squeal from one of the cribs.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex chuckles.

Alex: I'm glad you both like it ladies.....

He writes it on the form.

....Natalie Erin Edwards.....

....well that's it.... you all have names.....

[Pockets]

Nikki suddenly bursts into the room.

Nikki: Alex. Outside. Now.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex steps outside.

Alex: What is it Nikki?

[Pockets]

Nikki glares at Alex.

Nikki: Gabe got arrested for you... for what you did to that guy's car.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex: Uh-huh...... what did the cop look like?

[Pockets]

Nikki snaps, annoyed.

Nikki: I don't know. I was paying more attention to Gabe than the cop.

[Cruel Britannia]

Allex stares at Nikki coldly.

Alex Firstly.....I didn't ask for Gabe's help..... Secondly this isn't the first time he's been arrested.... he's been arrested for much worse than what I did to that guys car.... thirdly.... he's on first name basis with every cop at that station.... which is why I asked what the cop looks like..... he probably didn't even make it to the station.... believe it or not Nikki.... we do know what we're doing.... fourthly.... if you had a problem.... you could have just come to me and told me.... and I'd have dealt with it.... but no.... you don't have to be a bitch about it....

He heads back in the room.

....I'll be right back sweetie.... I gotta go pick up Gabe..... I'll be back soon.... The other will be here soon to keep you company.

He waves to the sterile cribs

See you soon babies.... daddy loves you.

He heads back out of the room and storms past Nikki.

[Pockets]

Alexis: Wait... what?

Nikki gets right in Alex's face.

Nikki: I don't want your help, and right now Gabe doesn't need it. If he's on a first name basis with every cop, then he's in no trouble at all... he's got bail money anyway. That's not the point. The point is whatever you were doing involved something you should have been arrested for, and he was instead. Go back and be with Alexis, that's why he did it.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex doesn't stop for a second and casually breezes past Nikki.

[Pockets]

Nikki runs after Alex and gets in his face again, moving to get in his way every time he goes to move around her.

Nikki: You do realize that if he's as in control of the situation as you say then your coming to save the day is going to make things even worse than you've already made them. If you believe your own words then stay with your wife and children. If not, you prove yourself a liar and show no faith in the one that calls himself your protector. Just realize that what you do has consequences, and being the oh so great Legacy Alexander Edwards is not going to solve every problem!

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex's head snaps towards Nikki, his aura is suddenly pitch black. He snarls violently.

Alex: DON'T EVER CALL ME THAT!

He keeps walking picking up the pace.

[Pockets]

Nikki: Call you what? The great Legacy? That's what you are isn't it?

She shakes her head.

Nikki: You seriously didn't listen to a word I said until I said that, did you?

She gets in front of him again.

Nikki: Well, if that's what it takes to get you to stay and listen to reason....

She overdramatically bows.

Nikki: Then please hear the words of your servant... or at least the words of your cousin's fiancee... which, since I haven't taken the initiation yet is pretty much the same thing, right? Please stay and listen to something besides your own pigheadedness oh great Alexander, Legacy of the Edwards!

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex is shaking trying to just keep moving.

Somewhere.... Amanda SCREAMS in pain.

[Cryonix]

Micah, with Amanda in the car, almost swerves off the road...

Micah: What the hell?

[Pockets]

Nikki yells after Alex.

Nikki: Stop ignoring me, damn you!

[Cruel Britannia]

Amanda can barely speak.

Amanda: A-Alex.

Alex tries to run but trips and collapses to the ground after a few yards.

[Pockets]

Nikki: Well, I suppose that's one way to do it....

She goes over and squats next to him.

Nikki: Hey, are you alright?
