Chapter 1

Sonny and Brenda arrived at Luke's, after escaping the tear gas. He explained the situation, and Luke got them to a
safehouse that he and Laura used to use. Luke dropped them off, but did not stay. Sonny and Brenda are checking
out the place.

S: Not too fancy, but it'll do.
B: (sorrowful) I guess.
S: We'll be alright, baby. As long as we have each other... 

Brenda cracks a small smile.

B: (walking toward the kitchen) So, what do we do now?

Sonny smiles that sexy Sonny smile.

B: (grinning) Something else.
S: Okay, okay. (he pauses) I have been meaning to talk to you about something.
B: (intrigued) What?
S: (hesitant) Well... last week while we were in bed...
B: (interrupts-sarcastically) Well, that narrows it down.

Sonny smiles, and she shuts up.

S: (starts off loud) Like I was saying, last week while we were in bed, (looks at her) you said something I can't stop
thinking about.
B: Really, what?
S: You said... ''baby's room''.

Brenda is shocked that he would bring this up and a little shy at the subject.

B: (reluctantly) Oh. I guess I was just thinking out loud. I mean I-.
S: No, no. Ever since you said that, I've been dreming of you, me, and a child. Our child.
B: (surprised) Really!
S: I love the idea of us having a baby, but I-.
B: (sympathetically) You what?
S: (takes her hand) Come sit dowm with me.
B: Sonny, you're scaring me.

He puts his hands on her face.

B: What's going on?

Sonny looks into her eyes and smiles. Brenda is reassured by this as Sonny begins to speak.


S: There's so much I want to say, starting with how much I love you. (Brenda smiles) I don't think you know how
much.
B: I do honey, and I love you too!
S: I know, and I want to give you all the things that you deserve, like that house, our house. But I can't keep you
safe, and that kills me. I mean look at where we are. We're on the run from a murder charge that's the result of a
setup by my enemies.
B: Sonny...
S: Wait. Listen to me. I know that you chose to be here Bren, but I'll always feel this way.
B:If you're trying to break it of with me, it ain't gonna happen. I love you too much to let you go again.
S: Break it off? Not a chance.
B: Then, where is this conversation going, Sonny?

Sonny pauses.

S: (jokingly) You want to know where this is going? You want to know where this is going? I'll tell you where this is
going. (serious now) Brenda Barret, I've loved you for what seems like forever. I want to live with you. I want to
have children with you. (Brenda's face lights up) Brenda, I want to marry you.

Sonny gets down on bended knee and pulls out a small box with the most beautiful diamond engagement ring inside.

S: Will you be my wife?

At this point, Brenda is smiling and crying at the same time. Her crying is preventing her from answering.

S: Is something wrong, Bren?

She nods her head no. Sonny gets up and starts pacing while talking.

S: I knew I should have waited. I guess it was stupid to think that I could actually be happy.
B: (barely audible) Yes.
S: What did you say?
B: Yes. Sonny, I'll marry you.

Sonny runs to her without stopping until their lips meet. They kiss passionately, and Sonny puts the ring on her finger.
They kiss some more. He carries her into the bedroom, which is also the only other room in the place, and well you
get the picture.

Chapter 2

The next morning, they wake up in each other's arms. Sonny watches Brenda admire her ring.

S: You like?
B: I love it. It's beautiful, Sonny.
S: I thought you would.

Brenda turns to face him.

B: You know, we never did have that "baby conversation". 

Right after she says this, she bursts out of bed and into the bathroom. Sonny becomes nervous and follows her. She
has just gotten sick and knows exactly why. Sonny puts his arm around her to hold her up.

S: Baby, are you okay? Here. Come lie down.

Brenda looks as if she is going to faint, so Sonny carries her to the bed. He lays her down gently and props up her
pillows. He sits next to her on the bed.

S: Do you need a doctor? 'Cause I'll go find you one.
B: (smiles briefly) I don't need a doctor, Sonny. I know exactly what it is.
S: What? Maybe you ate something bad?
B: No, Sonny.

She places his hand on her stomach.

B: I think... I'm pregnant.
S: (surprised and excited) No way. Really?
B: Yes, really!

Sonny looks down at his hand, and a single tear falls. He leans over and kisses Brenda's forehead. She is also teary.

S: We can't do this!
B: (looking very hurt) You don't want the baby?
S: Of course I do. I meant we can't raise a baby on the run. We have to clear you and fast.
B: Sonny, will you just hold me for now?
S: There's nothing I'd rather do, baby.

They lay in each other's arms, the same way as in the morning.

B: I love you!
S: I love you, too!

Brenda smiles as Sonny kisses her neck. Brenda gets more into this, but Sonny pulls back.

S: Wait a minute. I mean, can we? Will it hurt the baby?
B: Lois once told me that it will only do the baby good.
S: In that case...

They go on to make love for hours and hours, just as beautiful as their first time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Meanwhile, Jason and Mac have been searching to clear Brenda and find the real killer. A police sketch artist
sketched the man a witness described, and that's what they're going on. Jason decides to call Sonny with the news,
but he can't use his cell phone number. He calls Sonny's spare cell phone (let's just say the cops don't know about it).
We pick up on the tail end of the conversation. We don't hear Jason, only Sonny.

S: You got a sketch already?...Look man this has to be over and fast...There's a good chance Bren's pregnant, and
she needs a doctor...She's okay for now. Look Jason, don't tell anyone not even Robin. I'm sure Brenda wants to do
that herself.Okay?

Brenda walks into the main room from the bedroom. She's glowing.

S: Call me as soon as you get something new...Okay, bye.
B: Jason?
S: Yeah. He says they might know who the killer is.
B: Really? That's great! So can we go home now?
S: Not yet. They still have to find this guy.
B: (disappointed) Oh.

Sonny comes up from behind and puts his arms around Brenda. She smiles and puts her arms over his. He kisses her
neck.

Chapter 3

It's weeks later. Sonny is awake on the couch, and Brenda is sleeping on top of him. The phone rings, and Sonny
answers it quickly. He does not want to wake Brenda. It's Jason. They've found the guy and Brenda's been cleared
of the murder rap. The PCPD has even dropped the flight charges. Taggert will not drop the assault charges on
Sonny, but since there were no witnesses, he was laughed out of court. Sonny hangs up and debates on whether to
wake Brenda with the news. She looks so peaceful. He decides to wake her with a kiss, which she enjoys.

B: (groggy) Ummm...Why'd you stop?
S: I have news.

At the sound of this, she is wide awake.

B: Did they find him?
S: Yes, and not only that, but we've both been cleared of all charges. We can go home. Today!
B: Let's leave. Right now!
S: Whatever you want.

She kisses him, and they leave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sonny and Brenda are walking down the hospital corridor. They reach Dr. Newman's office and enter.

Nurse: Good morning. Name please.
S: Barret, Brenda.
B: Actually, put that under Corinthos please.

Sonny smiles at her, and she kisses him.

Nurse: Have a seat. We'll call you when we're ready.
S&B: Thanks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sonny and Brenda are now waiting in an office. Dr. Newman enters.

Dr. Newman: The tests confirmed what you suspected, Mrs. Corinthos. (Sonny and Brenda smile at each other.)
You're definitely pregnant.

Sonny takes Brenda's hand.

Dr. Newman: Now, you should come see me once a month, until the last month. Then, you should come every week.
And you should read these pamphlets and here are you're prescriptions for vitamins. Now, Brenda, you're in good
shape and very healthy so I don't forsee any problems. Do either of you have any questions?
B: Yes, when is the baby due?
Dr. Newman: From what I can tell, the due date is March 7th.
S: One year after the cave.

Brenda smiles.

Dr. Newman: Excuse me. Did you say something?
S: Nothind, sorry.
Dr. Newman: Well, if there are no more questions...(she stands)
B: Actually, I have one more.
Dr. Newman: Sure.
B: Um...when my best friend was pregnant, she said that...a...that sex was good for the baby, but I had to ask for
myself.

Sonny smiles at Brenda's shyness.

Dr. Newman: Please, don't be shy. A lot of couples ask that, and the answer is yes. It's good for the baby and the
mother.
B: Thank you.
Dr.Newman: You should make an appointment with my secretary on the way out.
S: We will. Thank you.
B: Bye.
Dr.Newman: Bye.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sonny and Brenda are in the hospital elevator going to the car. Sonny's arms are around Brenda's waist.

S: You didn't have to do that, you know.
B: Do what?
S: You know, Mrs. Corinthos!
B: (smiling) Yes I did.
S: (also smiling) Well, it will be true soon anyway.
B: I can't wait!
S: Me either, and I'm glad you asked about...you know.
B: I didn't want to leave anything to chance.

Sonny smiles, and Brenda smiles back. Sonny starts to kiss her neck as the elevator door opens. Jason and Robin
are standing outside the elevator.

B: Robin!
R: Bren, hey. Are you guys okay?
S: Yeah. We're fine.
B: We're perfect! (smiles at Sonny) Hey Jason. How are you?
J: Fine.
S: What are you guys doing here?
J: Robin has an appointment with Alan.
S: Oh, oh.
R: What are you guys doing here?

Sonny and Brenda look at each other.

S: (to Brenda) Go ahead. Jason already knows.
B: Well, Robin. I'll start by saying that, while we were on the run, Sonny and I...got engaged. 

Brenda shows them her ring. Robin hugs Brenda and kisses her on the cheek. Sonny points to his cheek, and Robin
kisses him too. Jason laughs.

R: This is great news guys, but it still doesn't tell me what your doing here.
S: Well, You tell her Bren.
B: We had an appointment with Dr. Newman.
R: A doctor. Are you sick?
B: No. We're pregnant.
R: Pregnant? Congratulations!

They all hug again.

J: When's he due?
R: Or she!
B: He or she is due March 7th.
R: That seems like forever.
B: Tell me about it.
S: I know. I can't wait!

Sonny puts his arms around Brenda's waist again. They say their goodbyes and all depart.

Chapter 4

Sonny and Brenda arrive at Sonny's penthouse.

S: Finally, home!
B: Well, we would have been here sooner if you hadn't insisted on going to the doctor's first.
S: I had to make sure that the two most important people in my life were healthy.
B: (jokingly) Oh, and who would they be?
S: (playing along) Who would who be?
B: The two most important people in your life.

Sonny kisses her lips.

S: You...

Sonny bends down and kisses her stomach.

S: and you.

Brenda smiles so big that a tear falls down her face. Sonny sees this and stands up so they are face to face. Sonny
cups her face in his hands and kisses her.

S: I love you, Bren!
B: I love you too!

Sonny kisses her again, more passionately this time.

B: (in between kisses) Sonny.
S: ('' '' '' ) Yes.
B: Make love to me.

With that, Sonny carries her to bed and they make love all night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, Sonny is making breakfast while Brenda is in the shower. The phone rings and Sonny answers it.
The conversation switches between Sonny and Jason.

S: (happy) Hey, Jason. How are you this fine morning?
J: Not too great.
S: Why? What happened?
J: Our source at the PCPD says that Taggert found a judge to press assault charges against you.
S: (trying to be optimistic) It's not good news, but there were no witnesses, so he's got no case.
J: Someone came forward Sonny. I think Taggert paid him off. And he got Dorman's killer to say you paid him to kill
Dorman.
S: Damn! How long?
J: Warrent's being written up now. They won't let you out on bail, and Brenda needs you.
S: I know.
J: What are you gonna do?
S: I'll get back to you.
J: Bye.
S: Bye.

They hang up the phone, and Sonny searches for a solution. All he can think about is Brenda and the baby.

Brenda has just finished her shower. She's wearing one of Sonny's button down shirts. Sonny doesn't notice her, and
this worries Brenda. Sonny always notices her. She knows something is wrong. She has a bad feeling in her stomach,
and it's not morning sickness.

B: Sonny. What's wrong?
S: We've gotta talk, baby.

Brenda goes and sits down next to Sonny. He gets sidetracked at the site of her.

S: God, you're beautiful.
B: Honey, what is it?
S: Taggert found a judge to bring me up on assault charges.
B: He's got no witnesses, Sonny.
S: Yes, he does. Jason said he paid off some guy.
B: Now what?
S: Wait there's more.
B: More?
S: Yes. Taggert got Dorman's killer to say I ordered him to kill Dorman.
B: (outraged) What?
S: They're getting a warrant out for my arrest.
B: Warrant?
S: Yeah, and since we ran last time, they'll probably deny my bail.
B: Deny bail? Sonny, I need you. We need you.(puts her hand over her stomach)
S: I know, baby. I know. I won't let us be separated.
B: What are we gonna do?
S: Well, as I see it, we have two choices. One, we can stay and take our chances, which aren't good. Or two, we
can run, which I don't want to do.

He puts his hand on her stomach. She looks into his eyes.

B: Let's go.
S: What?
B: If the choice is to stay and have you watch our child grow up from a jail cell, or to go and be with the both of you,
I choose to go.
S: Are you sure?
B: I have to be.

Sonny kisses her forehead and picks up the phone. He holds Brenda tight as he calls Jason.

S: Jason. We're ready....We'll be down in half an hour.

Sonny hangs up the phone. Brenda goes to get dressed. Within half an hour, they're ready. They take one last look at
Stone's room, and a tear falls down Sonny's face. Brenda wipes it away, and kisses his face. Hand in hand, they
leave the penthouse for the last time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 5

Sonny and Brenda are in an old broken down car just outside the borders of Port Charles. Sonny is slowing the car
down.

B: Why are you stopping?
S: (smiles) Look for yourself.

He nods forward.

B: Sonny. When did you...?
S: While you were getting dressed.

They pull over and get out.

Robin and Jason are standing on the plot of land that Sonny bought for him and Brenda. Brenda runs over there and
hugs both Robin and Jason.

B: Hey, I missed you!
R: Me too! Are you guys okay?
S: Yeah, we'll make it.
J: I explained it all to Robin already.
R: (teary) I'm gonna miss you guys.
J: Me too.
S: I guess we'll miss you guys too.

Brenda, who is teary eyed as well, hits Sonny in the arm.

S: Sorry to break this up, but...
B: Already?
S: Sorry, baby. There's only enough time to say goodbye.

Brenda looks at Robin, and they hug real tight.

B: (to Jason- still hugging Robin) Take care of her okay.
J: I promise.

Sonny sticks his hand out to Jason, but pulls him in for a hug.

B: (teary) Sisters.
R: (also teary) Forever.

They hug again and all depart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sonny and Brenda are on the road again. Sonny is driving.

B: Where are we?
S: Brooklyn.
B: Brooklyn?
S: Bensonhurst to be exact. (Brenda has a look of surprise on her face.) You didn't think we'd leave without seeing
Lois and Brooke first, did you?
B: Oh, Sonny. I love you so much. (hugs him)
S:Don't they all?

Brenda gives him a smug look.

B: They better not.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They have just arrived at the Cerullo house. Gloria let them in and called Lois.

L: What is it Ma?

She notices Sonny and Brenda and runs over and hugs them.

L: What are you doing here? I saw the tv. You should be out of the country by now.
S: You know we couldn't leave without seeing you.
L: But Sonny, what if you get caught?
B: That's why we can't stay long.

They chat for a while. They see Brooke. Sonny looks at Brenda.

S: Go ahead.
B: No, you tell her. I told Robin.
S: Okay. Lois, normally I would stay and face the charges, but I can't this time.
L: I don't understand. What's so special about this time?

Sonny looks at Brenda again.

S: I couldn't leave Brenda while they put me in jail. I had to be with the two most important people in my life.
L: Two? You lost me Corinthos.
S: Okay, I'll spell it out for you. Brenda's pregnent, and we're engaged!
L: What? Really?
B: (smiling) Yes!

They all hug, and Lois congratulates them.

S: Bren, it's late. We've gotta go.
B: Yeah.
L: You guys be careful. And Corinthos...
S: Yes.
L: You take care of her or you'll have to answer to me.
B: Now he definitely will.

They hug once more and Sonny and Brenda take off for a wonderful future.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chapter 7

It's early morning in Puerto Rico. Sonny and Brenda are sleeping soundly in each other's arms. You can see wedding
bands on their fingers. The door to their bedroom opens. In walks a young boy who appears to be four years old.
He has Brenda's eyes and Sonny's smile. He jumps onto the bed, and Sonny and Brenda wake up.

Boy: Mommy, Daddy I'm hungry!
B: (groaning) We'll be in in a second Michael.

Michael goes into the kitchen. They all live in a cabana in Puerto Rico. There are two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a
kitchen, and a living room. Sonny and Brenda walk out of their bedroom. Sonny has his arms around Brenda.
Michael runs over to them. As Sonny picks him up, you can see the joy in his face.

M: Mommy, teach me how to cook.
B: I think your Daddy should handle that.

Sonny and Brenda both laugh.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sonny and Brenda are laying on the beach watching Michael play in the sand. Sonny's cell phone rings. It's his source
back in Port Charles.

S: Corinthos...Uh-hm...Really...Finally got him...Thank you.

Sonny hangs up. Brenda looks at him puzzled.

B: Who was it, baby?
S: It was Johnny, my souce from Port Charles.
B: Port Charles?
S: Yes. He said that Taggert was arrested for drug trafficcing.
B: (nonchalantly) Wow. I thought he'd never be caught.
S: Bren, you don't understand. I've been cleared. We can go home.
B: (extactic) Home? I can't believe this! It's been five years.

Sonny hugs Brenda for what seems like forever. They break apart and he kisses her. Michael runs over to them.

B: Let's go, honey.
M: Where are we going, Mommy?
B: (looks at Sonny) Home!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All three of them are on a plane to Port Charles. Brenda has the aisle seat, Sonny's in the middle, and Michael has
the window seat. Michael is sleeping with his head on Sonny's chest. Brenda is holding Sonny's hand with her head
rested on his shoulder. His head is on hers. The pilot announces that they will be landing in fifteen minutes. Brenda
lifts her head and gets her things together.

S: Are we a little anxious?
B: A little. I wish we were able to keep in touch with Robin and Lois.
S: Me too, but we'll see them soon enough.

The plane touches down. Brenda is carrying a suitcase and a bag. Sonny is carrying a suitcase in one arm and
Michael in the other. Sonny has a limo waiting, and they all get in. Michael snuggles on Brenda's lap, and Sonny puts
his arms around her. In an hour they arrive outside Luke's. The parking lot is packed.

B: There must be a party or something.
S: Looks like.

They walk to the front door. Sonny is holding Michael, who's holding his teddy bear. Brenda takes a deep breath
and opens the door. Inside, a sign reads "Welcome Home Sonny and Brenda". Sonny and Brenda are astonished.

S: How did you...?
Jason: Johnny called me.

Everyone meets Michael and congratulates the couple. As Sonny and Brenda walk around to greet all of Port
Charles, they notice the changes. The first greet Edward and Lila, who are in the front. They then see Robin and
Jason. They noticed the wedding bands and know they got married. Robin tells them that her HIV is almost
nonexistant. Bobbie and Tony got back together. Their son Lucas is there too. He is now 12. Sonny and Brenda
don't really recognize the man that Felicia is with, but we do. It's Frisco. He came back for good. Their daughters
Maxie, 13, and Georgie, 8, are there. Mac and Katherine are engaged and have a five month old son named Robert.
Nikolas and Gina are dating. A.J. and Carly have a five year old son named Andrew. They were married and
divorced, but remained friends. Lucy and Kevin got married and have a two year old daughter named Dominique.
Scotty comes to Port Charles with Serena frequently. Justus married Dara, who quit law and sings at L&B Records.
Alan and Monica are amazingly still married. Their daughter, Emily, is dating Lucky, who is now 19. Lesley Lu grew
up, and Luke and Laura have a three year old named Lisa. They had to keep the "L thing" going. Mike married
Ruby. Ned and Lois remarried. Brooke is now 6, and they have a two year old son, Ben. He is named for
Bensonhurst. They mingle for a while and then get time to talk alone. Michael is with Grandpa Mike.

B: A lot of changes, huh?
S: Definitely.
B: Sonny, I need to tell you something.
S: What it is, baby?
B: Funny you should use that choice of words.
S: (confused) What?
B: While we were mingling, I made an appointment with Alan.
S: Honey, are you sick?
B: Sick? No, no. Sonny, I think I'm... pregnant again.
S: (shocked) Seriously?
B: (smiles) Yes!

Sonny grabs her hand and takes her over to the bar. Mike is there with Michael. He whispers something to Michael,
whose face lights up. Sonny climbs on top the bar and lifts up Michael. Brenda cups her face in her hands,
embarressed.

S: Ahem. Can I have your attention please?

Everyone quiets down.

S: I was just informed by my beautiful wife...

Brenda blushes.

S: Tell them Michael.
M: Mommy's gonna have a baby!

Everyone claps and congratulates them. They all go on to celebrate. Sonny, Brenda, and Michael all dance together
before heading to the penthouse. All is right in Port Charles!
