Re: A very OP Christmas Part 2...

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley, having decided and hoping that things had calmed down, was on his way to Alexis' room. He pauses and slowly steps back. The room he just past...he had a funny tingle down his spine about it.
He stops in the door way as Ewan silently cries over his unconscious son. Ashley remains silent.

[Cruel Britannia]

Amanda: I have a feeling what with being Alex and Lexi's kids they're all going to stubborn in their own way.

Nicholas looks at Lexi and smiles. Just like his father.

Ewan: Your children are so beautiful son..... just like you and your sister were..... please wake up Alex..... you deserve to be with them today..... it's the least you deserve......

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley turns and walks down the hall to his daughters room. Without saying a word to anybody he picks up one of the babies and walks out of the room back to where Alex lays, placing the newborn on Alex's chest, right over his heart. He drapes Alex's arm over the child

[Cruel Britannia]

Amanda: Um..... what just happened?

As Ashley places Alex's arm around Elizabeth, Alex's fingers instinctively curl around her, gripping her tightly, Elizabeth stares at her dad curiously.

[Jabberwocky]

Ashley looks on in silent for a moment

Ashley:"Just because he can't go to them, doesn't mean they can't be with him."

He looks at Alex and Elizabeth for a moment more before quietly exiting the room

[Pockets]

Alexis watches in complete confusion as Ashley walks in, takes Elizabeth, and walks back out again. Connor looks less than happy about being the last baby stuck in a crib.

Alexis: Hi dad... bye dad?

Nicholas makes a reassuring little noise, grabbing his mother's finger. Then, he seems to glance smugly at Connor, who really starts whimpering.

[Cruel Britannia]

Amanda hears the whimpering and goes and picks up Connor.

Amanda: Hey, hey.... don't worry little man.... Aunty Mandy's got you.....

[Pockets]

Connor promptly stops whimpering, glances at his brother, then back at his aunt to see what was so interesting to Nicholas. His eyes grow wide.

Alexis: What is it with guys and breasts anyway?

[Cruel Britannia]

Amanda looks down at her boobs then shrugs.

Amanda: Beats me...... I don't think guys know either..... I asked Alex once..... he just said.... "Boobs make everything better."

[Pockets]

There is a chorus of happy noises from Alexis' sons. She bursts out laughing.

Alexis: I guess that would make them their father's sons then....

She trails off and stares back out into the hallway. Nicholas starts making reassuring noises at her again, and Conner and Nathalie chime in.

[Cruel Britannia]

Amanda: Hmmmn.... I think your kids are trying to tell you something Lexi.....

[Pockets]

Alexis looks back at Nicholas, who pats her nose. She giggles and hugs him gently.

Alexis: I hate being stuck here.

[Cruel Britannia]

Amanda: Well.... you should be able to come off the IV pretty soon.....

[Pockets]

Alexis: Your mom seems to have completely disappeared... and I haven't seen another... well any hospital staff... since.

[Cruel Britannia]

Amanda: ....um.... well.... I'm sure Alex will be back soon......

[Pockets]

Alexis looks at Mandy, then back at Nicholas, who burps and giggles.

[Cruel Britannia]

Suddenly a commotion can be heard outside the door.

[Pockets]

Alexis looks back out into the hall, startled.

Alexis: What now?

The babies start to get excited.

[Cruel Britannia]

An orderly can be heard speaking.

Orderly: Sir you shouldn't be out of bed this soon.......

The orderly goes sliding on his ass past the door at high speed. Moments later Alex stumbles into the room, glassy eyed and staggering, closely followed by Ewan who is holding Elizabeth....

[Pockets]

The babies squeal happily at the sight of their father.

Alexis: Alex!

She tries to scoot over.

Alexis: Here, you need to lay down more than I do.

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex goes to Lexi's bedside and basically collapses to his knees, he grips Lexi's hand.

Alex: I I'm s-sorry.... I'm so sorry.

[Pockets]

Nicholas starts to pat Alex's head as Alexis stares at him.

Alexis: For what?

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex takes Nicholas' hand and kisses it.

Alex: I w-wasn't here.... I should have been here.....

[Pockets]

Alexis: Why did you run off like that?

[Cruel Britannia]

Alex: G-Gabe..... in jail...... because of me..... had to help Gabe..... look after family..... always have to look after family.....
