The doorbell rang to the Cerullo's and Gloria pulled Carmine towards the door as she pinned his boutineer on his lapel. She opened the door to the photgrapher.
Ph: "Mrs. Cerullo, congradulations."
Gloria looked at him and began to tear.
Car: "DON'T!" He turned her to face him. 'You shed one more tear I'm leaving you home!"
She took a deep breath.
G: "Your right...oh my god we're running late! We're late!"
J: "Calm down Mrs. C, we're not late.."
Ph: "We're gonna set up down here."
Carmine nodded.
Lou: "Ma..I can't get these cuffling things on."
G: "I don't know where my glasses are Carmine help him..OH MY god LOIS!.." She smacked her forehead. "The flowers! Where are the flowers."
S: "In the kitchen.." He put his tux jacket on and grinned at Gloria. "Beautiful, relax.."
G: "Sonny.." She sighed. "Can you go up and get Lois while I Get the flowers..."
S: "You got it." He ran up the stairs.
Lois was staring at herself in the full length mirror, a perplexed expression on her face. Sonny knocked on the door and then walked in. She turned and looked at him, watching him take every inch of her in, a smile formed on his lips.
S: "Look at you.." He let out a breath.. "You look beautiful." He looked at her face and saw tears in her eyes. "Lois?"
Lo: (Whisper) "I can't do this Sonny...I can't marry Ned."
Sonny looked at her for a moment and then closed the door behind him.
S: "What do you mean you cacan't marry Ned."
She turned and walked towards the bed.
Lo (Through tears) "Just what I said."
S: "Ok..you can't marry him. Fine." They were silent. "I should go and tell everyone, they're probably gonna want to know why though." He tilted his head and watched her turn around. She looked at him.
Lo: "Because I was never suppose to marry him. Carly was always suppose to marry Jason, You were suppose to marry Brenda but never once was I suppose to marry anyone but Stone." Tears fell from the corners of her eyes. "If by 25 we weren't married we were gonna just do it...we were eachothers back up plan."
S: "I know..." He walked towards her. "But you know along the way that plan changed if you remember?"
She looked at him confused.
Lo: "How?"
S: "Well when you told Stone you were gonna marry Ned, what'd he say?"
Lois looked down.
Lo: "That he was happy for me, and he couldn't wait to see me walk down the aisle." She looked up and tried to hold back her tears. "He's not even here to watch me.." She picked up her dress and began to pace. "Whenever I got scared or was ready to back out on something he would show up and push me...I'd go through with it because he was there."
S: "Look at me." She did. "What makes you so sure he's not here now?"
Lo: "You think he is?"
S: "Sweetheart, I think every step we take he's beside us. You know he's probably floating around somewhere laughing at us..I could picture him saying "Look at these two, She's about to get married and she thinks I'd actually miss that, and him, he can't even get his bow tie thing straight."
Lois laughed slightly and then stepped towards Sonny, She staightened out the tie and looked at him.
Lo: "Your right, he's here. And he's happy for me."
Sonny nodded.
S: "We all are."
She smiled and then looked frightened.
Lo: "Oh god Sonny! My Make up." He laughed.
S: "IS fine.." She sighed and looked at him, she hugged him tightly.
Lo: "I love you, I'm so glad your here."
He wrapped his arms around her and smiled.
S: "Love ya too, and theres no place I'd rather be." He pulled back and dimpled. "So what do you say Cerullo, time to make a Quartermaine out of ya?"
Lo: "Ashton.."
S: "whatever" They smiled and he held out his hand.
Lo: "Let's go get me married!"
He grinned and she laced her arm through his and they walked out of the bedroom.
Car: "Gloria the limos are here!"
Louie was at the foot of the steps, shaking his head as his parents went Crazy. Jason was holding Lois' bouquet.
G: "LOIS MARIE!!"
Lo: "I'm coming!" They all turned to the top of the steps and looked at her. A vision of white. She looked at Sonny and smiled, as they started to descend the stairs.
Today I met the boy I'm gonna marry
He's all I wanted all my life and even more
He smiled at me and the music started playing
Here comes the bride when he walked
through the door
Louie Grinned and held out his hand for his sister as she made it to the bottom of the stairs.
Lou: "You look gorgous...a true Cerullo."
She laughed and he twirled her under his arm and watched her dress spin. The he brought her into a hug and kissed her cheek.
Lou: "Ned's gonna have a heart attack." He looked at her and winked.
Today I met the boy I'm gonna marry
The boy whos life and dream and love
I want to share
Boy hold my hand and then a band of gold
Appeared before me The band of gold
I always dreamed I'd wear
Jason smiled and heanded her, her bouquet, kissing her cheek.
J: "Well you did it."
Lo: "What did I do this time?" She smiled.
J: "Make me cry.." He wiped a tear away and she laughed at him. She turned to look at her parents, who were both in tears.
G: "Lois...you looking..'
Car: "Breathtaking."
Lo "Thanks Daddy." She kissed his cheek and he brought her close to him for a moment.
Car: "You'll always be my baby girl."
Lois pulled back.
Lo: "No crying..this is happy day."
G: "Right.." Lois looked at her mother.
Lo: "Thanks mom, for making this the wedding of my dreams..funny isn't it how I just realized this what've I always wanted."
Gloria smiled and the horn honked.
Lois smiled.
Lo: "Show time!"
When we kissed I felt a sweet sensation
This time it wasnt just my imagination
Today I met the boy I'm gonna marry
He's just what I've been waiting for
With every kiss this is it my heart
Keeps saying
Today I met the boy I'm gonna marry
Car: "You heard her, take her away boys!"
Carmine and Gloria grinned as the three moved towards Lois.
Lo: "Wait...what're you doing."
Lou: "On Three.."
J: 1--2--3!"
They lifted her up and she laughed, as they carried her out of the house.
Gloria and Carmine watched from the stoop as the three boys carried her to the limo. A grand smile on the blushing bride's face and then she screamed.
Lo: "I'M GETTING MARRIED!!!"
Gloria shook her head, smiling and Carmine chuckled.
When we kissed I felt a sweet sensation
This time it wasnt just my imagination
Today I met the boy I'm gonna marry

The left of the church was packed with Quartermaines, the right with Cerullo's. The alter and pews were full of flowers and white tule. Everyone was chatting about the up coming nuptials. Edward grunted as he looked at his watch.
E: "When is thing gonna start?"
Tracy stared at the Cerullo side of the church and shook her head.
Tr: "Tell me how they can have such a big family!" Gloria was all smiles as she sat in the first pew holding her grandaughter. Sonny walked to the altar and smiled at Ned. He patted his arm.
S:"How you holding up?"
He nodded.
N: "Good..good..Is she here?"
S: "Yup." He smiled. "And she can't wait to marry you." Louie walked up with Jason.
Lou: "Which we personally can't understand why." He looked at Ned. "You take care of my little sister."
N: "I will."
Louie nodded and the men stood in place. A.J Got up and reached into his pocket and took a shot of vodka. Jason looked at him.
J: "Must you do that?"
A.J. Grinned and stepped next to him.Father Gallo emerged. He smiled and shook Ned's hand.
FG: "SO you think your ready to take on our Lois?"
N: "I know I am."
Sonny looked at Gallo.
FG: "You look good."
S: "Thats what they all say."
Gallo rolled his eyes and took his place. It was set. Gallo stood in the middle of the altar, with Ned to his left. Beside Ned their was a chain of ushers, Sonny, Jason, Louie and A.J. The organist began to play the music and everyone rose and turned to the back of the church. Frannie planted a smile on her face and began to walk down the aisle. She looked in the pews and she saw Jackson sitting at the end smiling at her.She looked at the boys and smiled before turning and standing to the right. Louie watched as his wife walked down the aisle, loose curls falling at her shoulders. Her eyes met his and she smiled. Funny how his breath caught. As She turned to take her place next to Frannie she winked at Louie and he grinned. Sonny Looked at him and laughed and then Louie nudged Sonny to look at the back of the church. Sonny eyes turned and his breath caught. There was Brenda WALKING down the aisle. She lifted her eyes from her flowers and looked at Sonny, tears were in her eyes and shock were in his. He watched her every move, her every step in amazement. She turned and stood next to Lisa, she turned her head and looked at Sonny for a moment. They both turned their heads when Carly began down the aisle. She was smiling and looking around the church like a star. Her eyes met Jasons and she grinned, but that lasted shortly when she saw A.J grinning at her. She swallowed the lump in her throat and took her place. They all turned and looked at Lois and Carmine. He looked at her daughter whos eyes were brimming with tears. He watched her face light up with Joy when Ned's eyes met hers. As they walked down the aisle, pictures were snapped and tears were shed. They reached the altar and Carly wiped away a tear as Father Gallo stepped down and smiled at Carmine.
FG: "Who gives this woman's hand in marriage?"
Carmine tried to find his voice, he then spoke in a hoarse whisper.
Car: "Her mother and I do." He turned to Lois and lifted her veil, kissing her cheek. "I love you princess."
Lo: "I love you too daddy." He turned with tears in his eyes and shook Ned's hand. When Carmine was seated. Ned took Lois' hand and smiled at her. They both turned to Father Gallo.
FG: "On behalf of Ned and Lois I welcome all of you to participate in this very important day in their lives. Dear friends in Christ, as you know, you are about to enter into a union which is most sacred and most serious, a union which was established by God himself. It is serious becuase it will bind you together for life in a relationship so close and so intimate thatit will profoundly influence your whole future." Lois smiled at Ned and then turned Back to Gallo. SOnny couldn't keep his eyes off of Brenda. Her eyes caught his and she just stared at him a moment as she listend to Father Gallo continue. "That future, with it's hopes and disappointments, it's sucesses and failures, it's pleasures and pains, it's joys and sorrows, is hidden from your eyes. And so, not knowing what is before you, you take eachother for better of worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, until death. May then this love with which you join your hands and hearts today never fail, but grow deeper and stronger as the years go on."
Lois and Ned turn to face eachother.
FG: "Edward Laurence Ashton, do you take Lois Marie Cerullo, here present, for your lawful wife according to the rite of our holy mother, the church?"
Ned looked into her eyes.
N: "I do."
FG: "Lois Marie Cerullo, do you take Edward Laurence Ashton, here present for your lawful husband according to the rite of our holy mother, the church?"
She looked at him for a moment and then smiled.
Lo: "I do."
FG: "Join your hands and say after me."
N: "I, Edward Laurence Ashton, take you, Lois Marie Cerullo, for my lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, til death do us part."
Lo: "I, Lois Marie Cerullo, take you, Edward Laurence AShton, for my lawful husband, to habe and to hold, from this day forward, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health, til death do us part."
FG: "The rings please?"
Ned turned to Sonny and he handed Ned them to Gallo.
FG: "By the authority of the church, I ratify and bless the bond of marriage you have contracted."
He blessed them with holy water. "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen. I call upon all of you here present to be witnesses of this holy union which I have now blessed. Man must not seperate what God has joined together. Bless, O Lord, these rings, which we are blessing in your name, so that they who wear them, keeping faith with eachother in unbroken loyalty, may ever remain at peace with You according to Your will, and may live together always in mutual love. Through Christ our Lord...Amen." He sprinkles them with Holy water. "Now that you have sealed a truly Christian marriage, give these wedding rings to eachother.."
Ne takes Lois' ring from Father Gallo and places it on her finger.
N: "Take and wear this ring as a sign of our love and fidelity. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
Lois places Neds ring on his finger.
Lo: "Take and wear this ring as a sign of our love and fidelity. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

"both in joy and in sorrow. May you ready with the help and consolation for all those who come to you in need; and may the blessings promised to the compassionate descend in abundance on your house."
N&L: "Amen."

He joins his hands and gestures to his congregation. "We all pray through our Lord Jesus Christ, his Son, who lives and reigns with Him in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever."
All: "Amen."
Father Gallo smiled at them.
FG: "Ladies and Gentlemen." He pasued and wiped away a tear. "I present to you Mr & Mrs. Ned Ashton."They all stood and clapped. Sonny whistled and Carly squealed. "You may kiss your bride."
Lois grinned and Ned swept her in his arms and kissed her for a sensual kiss. They parted and she looked at him.
Lo: "I love you."
N: "I never thought it was possible to love someone so much, thank you for marrying me."
Lois pulled him in for another kiss and the crowd laughed.
Ca: "Hey save it for the honeymoon!"
Louie whipped out his shades and put them on.
Lou: "Carly Babes is right.. Time TO PARTaY!!"
They broke apart and headed down the aisle. Carly Grabbed Sonny's hand, Jason took Brenda's. Louie grabbed his wife. Frannie snarled and walked beside A.J.
Chapter 177.
D.J: "It is my pleasure to introduce to you, Mr & Mrs Ned Ashton!!!"
The doors opened to the hall and Lois and Ned walked in grinning. They walked onto the center of the dance floor and between the bridge their bridal party had constructed. The dance floor cleared and the lights dimmed.
D.J.: "And now their first dance as husband and wife.."
Ned took her in his arms and began they began to sway to the music.
Girl you are to me
All that a woman should be
And I dedicate my life
To you always
A Love like yours is grand
And it must've been sent
From up above
And I know you'll stay this way
For Always
Lois looked into her husbands eyes and smiled.
Lo: "Nedly, I don't remember a time when I was so happy..."She touched his cheek. "Are you ready for our adventure to begin?"
N: "I've been ready all my life."
She raised an eyebrow.
Lo: "You sure about that? Because you know..they call me crazy, they call me wild and you can bet I'll keep you on your toes."
Ned grinned.
N: "Promise?"
She wrapped her arms around him tighter and grinned.
D.J: "We'd like all you couples to join our bride and groom on the dance floor.
Jason walked over and took Carly's hand, leading her to the dance floor. Louie wrapped his arm around Lisa's waist and escorted her to the dance floor. Jackson walked over to Frannie and offered a dance. Brenda watched as all the couples danced happily. She even noticed Johnny dancing with Sara. She looked down and listened to the music. Sonny walked up behind her and leaned over her shoulder and whispered.
S: "Can I have this dance?"
She turned around and looked at him.
B: "I was saving my first dance for you." He held out his hand and lead her onto the dance floor. She closed her eyes as his arms wrapped around her.
And we both know
That Our love will grow
And forever it will be
You and me
Ooh Your like the sun
Chasing all of the rain away
When you come around,

Your the perfect one
For me and you
Forever will be
And I will love you so
For Always
Louie looked down at Lisa and smiled.
Lou: "You look beautiful."

He smiled and leaned in kissing her lips gently.
Jason looked at Carly.
Ja: "Well she did it.."
Ca: "Yup.." She looked away.
Ja: "Makes you look forward to it."
She closed her eyes and was silent.
Sonny watched Brenda's eyes lift to his.
S: "I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me."
She smiled sadly.
B: "Nope..while you were taking the rays I was learning to walk again."
Sonny nodded.
S: "I see that."
B: "Thank you."
He looked at her, perplexed.
S: "What for?"
B: "Your the reason I'm standing, the reason I'm dancing.."
S: "I don't understand how."
B: "Sonny theres things that need to be said."
S: "I thought we covered everything before I left."
B: "Yeah well..I changed my mind."
Come with me my sweet

And they will bring us joy
For Always
Now Boy I love you so
I cant find enough ways
To let you know

The song faded and the couples parted and applauded. As they all found their seats Sonny rised with his champaigne glass in his hand.
D.J: "And now our toast Given by the maid of honor and best man."
Carly Stood and walked over to Sonny. The D.J. handed them each a mic and they turned to Lois and Ned.
C: "We rehearsed this on the plane in between turbulance..
S: "And salted peanuts."
They laughed.
C: "I'm certainly not a good speech giver and I can tell you Sonny isn't so jus bear with us."
S: "I sat on a beach for a couple of weeks and I looked back on things I've done, and every good memory you were in Lois. Even the bad ones, that you pulled me out of..I concluded that as much as I can try I can't ever be the friend, the sister you've been to me. Growing up with you has been more than just fun, it's been memorable, and once upon a time I thought nothing could top that, the memories that you and I made together. I was wrong, because you managed to top that today. I watched you marry the man you love and saw a glow on your face, and that you and Ned asked me to be apart of this, that you allowed me to be at your side as you pledge for eachother, that is definately the memory that will never be forgotten, the memory that will come first when I think of the two of you, until of course you have your first child and I'm in the delivery room with the camcorder."
They laughed.
C: "To Lois and Ned, May your life be full of nothing but the best of memories and the most cherishable experiences." They raised their glasses towards them and everyone drank the champainge. Lois walked over to them and brough them into a tight embrace.
The D.J. began to blast the music and the dance floor became packed. Lois was radiant and her and Carly were dancing with Gallo. He threw his hands in the air swaying them as the girls sandwiched them.
Jason grabbed Tracy and him and Ned began to dance with her. She ran away mortified and they laughed.
Ed: "Why I have never seen such.."
Lil: "Edward dear, shut up."
Lisa walked over to Louie and sat down on his lap.
Lou: "I was looking for you."
Li: "Oh?" She smiled and leaned in kissing his lips gently.
Lou: "I wanna dance with you."
Li: "Yeah?" She pulled back and looked at him.
Lou: "Yeah I mean someone should teach these Quartermaines how to dance."
Li: "Let's do it babe."
She stood and took his hands and they made their way to the center of the dance floor.
Brenda walked over to the Cerullo's table. Frannie was handing over Briana to Jackson.
B: "Frannie you have lousy timing! I wanted to dance with him."
J: "Me? I thought you hated me."
She grinned.
B: "Well I'm starting to like you I mean you are the reason I CAN Dance!"
Jackson laughed.
Brenda looked around and saw Sonny talking to Carmine. She walked over to them.
B: "Excuse me Carmine." She grabbed Sonny's shirt.
S: "What exactly are you doing?"
B: "I have been in a wheel chair for too long. I'm out now and I want to dance." She looked at him. "With you." She pulled him to the dance floor. Sonny looked at her, sighing. She threw her hands in the air and began to shake her hips, forward and then backward. He couldn't help but smile, he never thought he'd see her this way again. She grabbed his hands and wrapped them around her waist. She placed one hand on her shoulder put one leg between his. She looked into his eye. "Well..what're you just gonna stand there?"
He looked at her, pushing her hips against his, he dropped one hand, keeping the other one on the small of her back. He began to grind against her. She grinned and followed his lead. They stared into eachothers eyes as they grinded down. He took One of her hands in his and dipped her torso, when she came up she was smiling. He held a slight smile on his lips as he watched her face light up. Carly hit Jason and pointed to Sonny & Brenda, they both stared at them grinning. Brenda pushed at Sonny's chest and he watched as she began to grind down by herself, she shook her chest to the floor and then turned around, she looked over her shoulder at Sonny, watching his eyes trail down to her ass as she started to Back it up. Her ass met his crotch and she began to shake it. He wrapped one arm around her, pulling her closer and he grinded down with her. She grinned as they made it to the floor, slowy, sexily and sultry they swiveled up. Brenda turned around and faced him. She watched him dimple at her and she smiled happily. She grabbed his hands and locked them over their heads as she grinded her body against his, she let their hands fall and locked them behind his back. Their pelvics crashing together. Lois and Ned walked over to where they were and started to clap.
Lo: "SHAKE IT!!!!"
Brenda threw her head back and laughed.
Louie and Lisa made their way over to the circle that was forming around them and Louie grinned.
Lou: "Looks likes Corinthos is back.." He winced. "MARIAH SHAKE THAT ASS WOMAN!"
Lois leaned next to her brother.
Lo: "He's not the only one getting back into the groove of things."
Brenda slid her body up and down Sonny's and turned around, she grinned and pointed to Ned, for him to come to her. Lois grinned and pushed him towards Brenda. Sonny took off his tux jacket and threw it to Gallo, Who caught it and began to shake himself. Sonny walked over and Grabbed the bride. She laughed, and took his hand and with her free hand she lifted her dress a little, so it wouldn't drag on the floor.
Lo: "Your on Corinthos!"
He grinned.
S: "Let's see if you can keep up!'

Sonny nodded to Louie and they both sandwiched Lois, grinding down against her.
Lo: "WHOA!! DOWN BABY!!" She bit her tongue and slid down with them. She pointed to Lisa and then to Sonny. Lisa grinned and walked behind Sonny , placing her hands on his hips, she grinded her body against his. The four moved up and down, Louie ripped off his bow tie and shed his jacket. He un buttoned the first two buttons on his shirt as a new song came on. He Grabbed his wife and Brenda And wrapped one arm around one and the other around the other sister. Lisa and Brenda grinned, turning to him. Lisa was in his front and Brenda in his back. Lisa leaned over his right shoulder and began to kiss his neck while Brenda did the same to the left. Louie closed his eyes and grinned, as they kissed him the three grinded down. Carly grabbed Gallo and pulled him onto the dance floor. Sonny grinned and him and Jason watched Carly grab his hips and crash hers against his. Father Gallo's eyes widened and then he laughed and shook with her.

D.J.: "We need the newest Cerullo's in the circle. Where's Louie and Lisa?"
Louie grinned and took his wife's hand. She laughed as he pulled her next to him and he began to clap his hands in the air. She did the same and then they moced backward and danced to eachother. He wrapped his arms around her and spun her around. "And Now Where's our bride and groom??"

Darling you must feel for sure
I'll be true to you.
Soldier Boy!
Oh my little soldier Boy!
I'll be true to you."
Everyone clapped.
D.J: "I don't guys..ever think of becoming the Partriach Family."
After Lois and Ned had cut the cake, it was time for them to dance with their parents. But since Tracy ran into the bathroom, Lois just danced with Carmine. Lisa was sitting on Louie's lap her head leaning on his shoulder, as they watched father and daughter dance.
Frannie walked up behind them.
Fr: "Daddy's crying."
Lou: "Figures.." He smiled slightly as he stroked Lisa's back.
Frannie sniffled and Louie laughed.
Lou: "Not you too."
Fr: "It's just..my little brother and sister are married..."
Lisa and Louie chuckled.
D.J: "And now Lois would like to dance with her mother, Gloria..."
Carmine kissed Lois and Gloria joined her daughter on the dance floor.
Lou: "Looks like mom finally got her dance."
Li: "How sweet."
Brenda sighed as she watched, she turned and watched Sonny sit down next to her.
S: "Having fun?"
B: "Yeah, it's been a long time since I have."
S: "I know what you mean."
Brenda nodded and looked down.
B: "I meant what I said before, theres things I need to tell you, and they can't wait anymore."
S: "Well after the wedding I'm going straight to the penthouse."
B: "I'll come with you."
Sonny nodded.
Johnny looked at Sara.
Jo: "When is Ned gonna sing?"
Sara stole her eyes away from Louie and Lisa.
Sa: "I don't know and I care.."
Jo: "What is it now."
Sa: "This wedding.." She rolled her eyes. "Has been the worst--"
Jo: "It's a beautiful wedding."
Sa: "If your into all that family shit."
Jo: "Jealous?"
Sa: "Oh fuck off will you?"
D.J.: "And now Lois would like to dance with her brother."
Lisa got off of Louie's lap and smiled as he walked over to his sister. He smiled and she grinned as he took her into his arms.
Lou: "I've been waiting all night for this."
Lo: "Don't lie your not good at it."
Lou: "Your right...I've been waiting since we were little to do this." He kissed her cheek and she smiled.
In these moments
Moments of our lives
All the world is ours
And this world is so right
You and I sharing this time together
Sharing the same dreams
As time goes by
We will Find..
Lo: "I know I've been a pain in the ass..and I know I don't say it that often. But I love you."
He smiled.
Lou: "I love you too, Lo."
She smiled, looking over his shoulder at their sister. She pulled back and motioned for her to join them. Frannie walked onto the dance floor and the thre huddled and looked at eachother and smiled.
These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times
The tender times
We'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times
These times together
And through it all one thing
Will always be true
The special times are the times
I share with you
Frannie kissed her sister and then her brother as she heard Briana cry. She hurried off to her daughter and Louie looked at his sister and smiled. She nodded and turned to the D.J. Whispering in his ear.
D.J. "Will Sonny, Brenda, Carly and Jason please join them on the dance floor."
Lois and Louie turned to their friends and smiled as they headed to them.
They formed a circle and began to sway.
Lo: "I love you guys and I'm so glad you all are here..All seven of us."
They all looked at eachother as she mentioned seven, knowing she was referring to Stone as well.
Lou: "Aww Group hug!"
They laughed and huddled closer.
With each moment
Moment passing by
We'll make memories
That will last all our lives
You and I travel
Through time together
Leaving this sweet dream
And everyday we can say
Tears fell from their eyes and Lois looked at them.
Lo: "Look at us.." She wiped her eyes and then placed her arm around her brother again. "We've been through it all together. We've made it through so much."
S: "Thats because you always held us together." He smiled at her.
B: "He's right your like the mediator." She laughed through her tears.
Lo: "My parents taught me that family is the most cherished gift and I believe that, our family, that we've made it's been the best gift."
Ca: "For all of us it is."
These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times
The tender times
We'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times
These times together
And through it all one thing
Will always be true
The special times are the times
I share with you
J: "Seven kids from Brooklyn, and now look at us."
Lou: "We're still Seven kids from Brooklyn."
J: "Oh come on you know what I mean."
Lou: "If you say so."
The 6 of them laughed and Lois looked around.
Lo: "We're not just seven kids from Brooklyn anymore, we're record producers, convicts, (they laughed), bail chics, recording artists..and two of us are married. Lisa! Ned!" She motioned for them to join them."
Ned took Lisa's hand and lead her over to the circle, Louie and Lois parted and their arms now were over their husband and wifes. Louie kissed Lisa's cheek and the 8 swayed and looked at eachother, and smiled through there tears. Jason looked over and saw Frannie bouncing Briana and pointing to them. He lifted his hand and spread away from Louie, Louie turned and watched Frannie walk towards them with her baby. Both guys wrapped their arms around her and they all smiled at the baby as they danced.
These tender moments
When heaven is so close
These are the moments
That I love
These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times
The tender times
We'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times
These times together
And through it all one thing
Will always be true
The special times are the times
I share with you
As the song faded out they all closed the space between them and moved closer hugging eachother tightly as tears fell from their eyes.
As the party winded down, people began to leave. Lois was saying goodbye to everyone when the D.J. began to speak.
D.J: "All great things must come to an end..It's time for the final song of the evening. Lois, if you would direct your attention to your husband."
Everyone turned to Ned as he took a the microhone and smiled at her, singing.
N: "I just want to tell you
All the things you are
And all the things
You mean to me
When I find myself believing
Theres no place to go
When I feel the lonliness
In side my heart..."
He took her in his arms and began to dance with her as he sang to her.
N: ''Your the answer to my prayers
And your with me everywhere
Your my angel
My Mircale
your all I need tonight
Give me shelter from the rain
Your bring life in me again
Your my angel
My Miracle
Your all I need to know, tonight."
Lois smiled as they danced and he sang to her. Sara watched from the corner of the room as her words came to life. Louie and Lisa walked past her, and she over heard their conversation.
Lou: "Meet me upstairs in the bridal suite."
She grinned.
Li: "Why?"
Lou: "Why do you think?" He kissed her lips softly. Sara watched them a gleam in her eyes and a smile on her lips. She looked around and slipped out of the room.
Sonny walked over to Brenda
S:"You sure you want to do this now."
B: "Yes, I think it's about time."
Sonny nodded.
S: "Okay then you ready?"
B: "Yeah." She followed him over to the Cerullo's to say goodbye.
N: "Life is just a moment
We're blowing int he wind
We're trying to find a friend
And only time can tell us
If we win or if we lose
And who will stand beside us
When theres darkness all around
Your the light I see
When I need someone to ease
My troubled mind.."
Carly was watching Lois and Ned when she heard A.J., her smile faded.
A.J. "Times up Carly Babes..so what's it gonna be, The boys go to jail or you become my wife."
Carly turned to him.
C: "Your a sick twisted deranged man, and I pity you for stooping so low to bring hell to your own brother. But I love him and I love Sonny and I'm not gonna let you put them away..so yeah I will marry you, and you can bet your ass I'll make your life just as horrible as this is making mine."
She turned and walked away.
N: "These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times
The tender times
We'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times
These times together
And through it all one thing
Will always be true
The special times are the times
I share with you"
Louie dodged out of the hall and up the stairs to the bridal suite. He smiled as he opened the door. The room was dark when he closed the door.
Lou: "Lisa?"
He got no answer, so he sat down and waited for his wife. Suddenly the lights flickered on and he turned to see Sara.
Sa: "Well, well..if it isn't Mr. Charm himself."
Louie sighed.
Lou: "What do you want?"
Sara walked to him and smiled fakely.
Sa: "I think I've made it pretty clear as to what I want."
Lou: "You know..I'm not gonna do this now with you, my wife will be here any minute and I don't want her to get upset."
Sara glared at him.
Sa: "Aren't you just the perfect husband." She was silent. "I watched you tonight." He looked at her as though she was crazy. "I watched you sing to your wife, watched you dance with the tramp.."She moved closer. "I watched you fucking smile..you don't deserve to be happy. Do you understand? A man who destroys innocent people does NOT deserve happiness!"
He laughed and looked at her.
Lou: "I hate to be the one to break it to you, but you are far from the innocent victim. Your psychotic and I can't comprehend how I ever got mixed up with you. But you know what that's over and done with Sara..We are over and done with, what's so fucking hard to understand?"
Sa: "You didn't get mixed up with me I got mixed up with you, while you used me. I was at your beck and call..I did everything right and you blew me off, not even with reason. You just fucking stopped calling, hanging up on me..you were a coward. You hurt me...but you don't care, your used to hurting people isn't that right? Well you know what it's time for you to feel the pain. It's time for me to get back at you! Your gonna Pay for fucking me over and your gonna pay right now!" In one quick move she was on his lap and she grabbed his face, pulling him to her. Her lips fused with his and she kissed him hard and rough.He struggled to pull back but she only held his face where it was. The door opened and Lisa walked in smiling.
Li: "Louie I-" She stopped short when she saw Sara on top of him, she pulled back with a grin.
Lou: "Lisa, get off of me!" She slammed the door and ran down the stairs. Louie pushed Sara off of him and turned to her. "You bitch...Oh..you did it this time!"
Lisa ran down the stairs as fast as she could, trying desperately not to cry. She bumped into Johnny.
Jo: "Lisa..whoa..what's wrong?" She looked up at him, the tears fell down her cheeks.
Li: "You gotta get me out of here! I gotta go home!"
jo: "Wait! Just tell me what happened."
LI: "JOHNNY PLEASE NOW!"
Frannie walked towards Lisa.
Fr: "Lisa what happened?" Lisa turned to Frannie and then back to Johnny.
Li: "I'm begging you." She pleaded with him.
Gloria and Carmine walked to where the commotion was.
G: "What's going on--Lisa what's wrong!?"
Lisa grabbed Johnny's shirt.
Li: "I need to go home!"
Frannie handed Briana to her mother
Fr: "Fine..I'll take you home."
Lisa shook her head.
Li: "No.." She covered her face and then looked at her.
Car: "Where the fuck is Louie!?"
Lisa looked at Carmine.
Li: "If anyone wants my husband HES UPSTAIRS KISSING SARA!"
Fr: "Come on..I'll take you home."
Lisa gave in and Frannie lead her to her car.
G: "Oh dear Lord."
Car: "I'm gonna kill him."
Louie came running down the stairs.
Lou: "LISA!"
He looked at his father.
Lou: "Did you see Lisa?"
Car: "YEAH WE ALL SAW HER RUN OUT OF HERE CRYING!"
G: "What did you do!"
Louie ran out of the hall and saw Frannie getting into the car, he squinted and saw Lisa in the passenger seat, her head in her hands.
Lou: "Frannie don't!"
Lisa looked at Frannie.
Li: "Frannie DRIVE!"
She looked at her brother and shook her head before getting into the car.. Louie ran down the steps and hurried to the car as it screeched away.
LoU: "FUCK!" He pulled at his hair and then turned around.
G: "You really did it this time..and With that SARA! Where the hell is your brain!"
Car: "I can't believe you did this!"
Lou: "You know what I don't need this now! Where the fuck did they go?"
G: "Where do you think they went? Port Charles!"
Louie searched his pockets for keys and then ran across the street and jumped in his car.
Sara walked down the stairs grinning.
Sa: "Ready?"
Johnny turned around.
Jo: "Are you happy now?" He glared at her.
Chapter 178.
Hours later, Brenda and Sonny emerged from the elevator. He took out his keys and walked towards the door, Brenda trailed behind him, taking her shoes off as he unlocked the door.
S: "Some party huh..."
B: "Yeah, I kinda feel bad we left early."
Sonny chuckled as they walked inside.
S: "The party was over."
B: "Yeah but still." She turned and smiled. "You know what I mean."
S: "Well it was so important that we had this 'urgent' talk right away." He shut the door.
B: "It is..Sonny it's time I tell you, the things that we both need to hear."
He sighed and looked at her.
S: "Brenda if your gonna say that we made mistakes--"
B: "No I'm not, because I was the one who made the mistakes. I realize that now, and since you left there wasn't a day that I didn't wish I could take back everything I did."
S: "It's done Brenda, what could we do about it."
B: "I'd like to try Sonny...we." She closed her eyes and paused a moment. "We lost a child and instead grieving together I made us do alone."
S: "Brenda--" He took of his jacket and sighed.
B: "Sonny listen to me, we were at a point where we needed eachother so badly, and I ..I screwed that up for us. I pushed you away when you needed me the most, I failed you." She took a deep breath. "And that hurts me more than it does you." He stared at her. "When you left your words echoed through me, about how I never took any of your promises seriously, that I never took us seriously." She sighed. "Thank you."
He looked at her confused.
S: "What?"
B: "You leaving broke my heart but it pushed me to show you exactly how much we mean to me. I promised myself I'd walk down that aisle looking into your eyes." She choked on her words. "I'm standing infront of you because of you and how much you mean to me."
S: "You did this all on your own--"
B: "Because I want our dream. You made me a deal, remember?"
S: "Brenda don't go there ok.." He swallowed and walked away to the window. "We're over."
B: "We are far from over." She looked at his back. "We are over when we stop caring for one another, when you can look me in the eyes and say you don't love me."
Sonny turned and looked at her.
S: "I left you and I told you I loved you and always will...but love doesn't fix what's wrong here Brenda. We're not the same kids who vowed to love eachother, to marry to have the world revolve around them. It took a tragedy for us to grow up.."
B: "We still have the same dreams..and love conquers all..You said when I was ok with who I am, when I could walk again you'd ask me to marry you and I promised I'd say yes. You promised me you'd marry me..and share your life with me."
S: "We were kids then Brenda!"
B: "A promise is a promise..and we weren't Just kids when you asked me to marry you. We were two struggling individuals, but we were not kids." She moved closer to him. "Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't want to spend the rest of our lives together."
He stared at her.
Lisa was silent the whole drive home as she stared out of the window. Frannie looked at her.
Fr: "We're almost there."
Lisa turned and wiped her eyes, she looked at Frannie.
Li: "I'm sorry I put you in the middle of this."
Fr: "You didn't."
Lisa looked down at her hands.
Fr: "Lisa, he's my brother, but your family too and if you need to talk, I'll always listen."
She looked up at her and smiled slightly.
Li: "I appreciate that." Frannie pulled up infront of the condo's. "Your gonna come up right?"
Frannie nodded and parked the car. They got out of the car and Lisa noticed Louie's car.
Li: "Son-of-a-bitch."
Fr: "How'd he get here before us?"
Lisa looked at Frannie
Li: "No offense but Frannie you drive like a snail."
Fr: "I was going the speed limit."
Lisa sighed.
Fr: "You want to go up?"
Lisa was quiet a minute then nodded.
Li: "I'm gonna grab some things and leave."
Fr: "Ok. If you want I can stall him or something."
Li: "Just keep him away from me." Frannie nodded and the girls walked into the building.
Louie was pacing the floor waiting for them, he sighed and looked at the time. He threw his head in his hands and vowed he wouldn't lose her. The door opened and he looked up. Lisa walked in with Frannie behind her.
Lou: "Lisa..''
She looked at him, letting him see that she was crying. His heart broke and he swallowed the lump in his throat. She turned and walked towards the stairs.
Lou: "Lee..I." She turned.
Li: "I don't want to hear anything you have to say. I'm just gonna grab my things and go."
She started up the stairs.
Lou: "What are you gonna do run away?"
She turned.
Li: "What I do is none of your business."
Lou: "Your solution to everything..you run-You ran from your first husband, ran from your father--you made a career out of running away!"
Li: "You leave my father off your tongue." She laughed sarcastically. "To think I thought this could work! That you were different..Jesus Christ I went against everything I believed, to keep you out of jail...When you said you wanted a baby, I forgot there was no love and I said ok..I am so fucking grateful I am not pregnant..because I don't want anything that reminds me of this whole fucking game." She looked at her hands and pulled off her wedding band and threw it at him. "Give it to Sara." She turned and hurried up the stairs. Louie went to go upstairs but Frannie stopped him.
Fr: "Leave her alone Louie." He turned to her outraged.
Lou: "SHE'S MY WIFE FRANNIE! I'm not just gonna let her walk out of here!"
Fr: "Why not, just give her time to cool off."
Lou: "You don't know her, she doesn't give herself time to cool off she just runs.." He closed his eyes and ran his fingers through his hair. He opened them and looked at her. "I love her." He whispered. Frannie looked at him and let go of him. He hurried up the stairs. Lisa was throwing her clothes into a backpack. "If you think I'm just gonna let you walk out of here--"
Lisa glared at him.
Li: "You don't have a fucking say in the matter."
He grabbed her backpack and she looked at him.
Lou: "I didn't kiss her, she told me I was gonna pay for hurting her, that I was gonna hurt like she did..then she kissed me and you walked in. I'm not gonna let her win, Lisa. I'm not gonna let you leave me."
Lisa laughed.
Li: "I don't want to be with you! I never did."
Lou: "That's a lie.." He looked into her eyes. "The nights you layed in my arms, and whispered you never wanted this to end..those weren't lies. The night you said that you wanted to make a baby with me, that you believed we would be alright..was not a lie. When you made love to me that was not a lie."
She held her gold stare.
Li: "How would you know? You don't know a damn thing about me!"
Lou: "Your wrong..I know that behind that icey bitch routine, is a woman who just wants to be loved. I know that you loved your father with everything inside of you. That you have regrets and you have dreams. I know that you want to stay."
Li: "WRONG! My biggest regret was ever meeting you. I swore no man would hurt me again...and then you came and--..I hate you Louie."She stared at him. "I hate that I married you, that I stayed married to you.." She looked up in disgust. "I regret ever sleeping with you...but you know what I hate the most, what I regret the most...letting myself care for you. I hope you and Sara are really happy together, maybe she'll give you a son." He stared at her. "I'm finished with you..."
Lou: "Well thats just too bad, because I'm far from finished with you."
Li: "Wrong again Louie..we're finished." She grabbed her bag and started for the door.
Lou: "A Cerullo never walks away." He turned to her, watching her turn around.
Li: "I'm not your wife...I'm not a Cerullo, and I am walking away."
Lou: "Your the one whos wrong Lisa. You are my wife, you can try to forget that..but I won't let you."
She glared at him.
Li: "What is it that you don't get? I HATE YOU..I hate everything that we did together..I hate being your wife..I Hate--"
Lou: "That's alot of hate for someone who tried to tell me they loved me a few times." She looked at him. "What you thought it went un-noticed. You can walk out that door, and run where ever..but your still gonna love me..and I'm--"
Li: "Stop." She looked down and looked up a moment later. "I don't love you Louie." She looked into his eyes and whispered. "I despise you." There was a silence. "And that's no lie."
She turned and walked out of the bedroom. Louie fell onto the bed, wounded. He rubbed his face tiredly and looked up, his eyes were now empty. Lisa looked at Frannie.
Li: "Could you drop me off at the penthouse.'
Fr: "Lisa, are you sure this is what you want?"
She looked at the stairs and then at Frannie.
Li: "Yeah." Frannie nodded and walked out of the condo, Lisa behind her.
Sonny sighed.
S: "I love you, and that won't change, but I can't honor those promises Brenda."
B: "Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't want forever anymore."
S: "What I want and what can be are two different things."
B: "We can be together..we can make things right again. I know we can...You can turn me down, but I'm known for being persistant. We might've changed, but inside I'm still that girl who wants the most popular boy in school to be hers." She smiled. "And the way I got you before..you can bet your tight ass I'll get you again."
He looked down and dimpled. She tilted her head and smiled. He looked up at her.
S: "You really are back aren't you?"
She touched his cheek and nodded.
B: "Yeah, and I've got alot to make up for."She stared at him. "I love you." She smiled. "I wanted to say that for so long.." She sighed.
S: "Friends.."
B: "For now..but you and I can never be just friends..He have to much history too much of a future."
He took her hand.
S: "Your making this hard.''
B: "So then don't fight.." She whispered. "I really want you to kiss me right now.." She said as she leaned closer to him, feeling his breath. He groaned and leaned closer, when their was a pounding on the door. Brenda laughed as he opened his eyes.
B: "Well go on.. get it."
Sonny turned and opened the door, to Lisa, her face was stained with tears.
S: "Lisa."
Brenda looked at her sister.
B: "Oh my god what happened?"
LI: "I'm sorry I just made Frannie drop me here, I don't know where else--"
S: "Ssh..come in." She walkedin and he closed the door. Brenda embraced her. "Where's Louie?"
Li: "Probably fucking Sara.'' She pulled back and looked at Sonny.
B: "What're you talking about?"
LI: "He told me to meet him upstairs..so I went and I see Sara ontop of him and they were kissing."
S: "Where's Louie now."
Li: "We just had a fight at home, I guess he's still there I dunno.."She started to cry again. "I hate him!"
Brenda draped her arm around her and looked at Sonny.
S: "I'm gonna take a ride there."
Lisa looked at him.
Li: "Don't tell him I'm here."
S: "Lisa.."
Li: "I'm leaving in the morning anyway."
B: "Where you going.."
Li: "I don't know..Just gonna get in my car and drive away."
S: "You mean runaway."
B: "Well you can't do that..Lisa we just found eachother."
Li: "I know Brenda, I'm really sorry. But I can't stay here."
S: "Lisa, you can run but Louie will always be right behind you. He'll find you..after all he found out you were Brenda's sister."
Lisa looked at him.
Li: "He won't come after me."
S: "Louie loves you."
Li: "Don't say that." She shook her head and laughed. "Louie doesn't love me.."
S: "I wouldn't be to sure about that." He said as he put his coat on. "I'll be back." He headed out of the penthouse. Brenda looked at Lisa.
B: "Why don't we get out of these clothes and we'll talk ok?"
Lisa nodded and they walked upstairs.
Louie walked down the stairs and found Frannie sitting on the couch.
Lou: "Shouldn't you be driving my wife away?"
Fr: "Louie, she's hurt."
Lou: "Don't you think I know that." He sighed and shook his head.
Fr: "What're you gonna do about it?"
Lou: "I don't know." He sat down on the step and looked at his sister. "You heard her didn't ya? She hates me and regrets it all." He laughed sarcastically.
Fr: "She's just angry, people say things they don't necessarily mean."
Louie shook his head.
Lou: "You should've seen her eyes, so cold.."
Fr: "I saw her eyes...full of tears when she walked out of this door..as though it was killing her to leave."
Lou: "I'm gonna kill Sara."
Fr: "Not if I beat you to it first."
He sighed.
Lou: "I never saw this coming..I mean we were so happy." He turned to his sister. "Two weeks ago we started trying for a baby. Both of us so sure we'd make this work. Funny isn't it?"
Frannie looked at him sympathetically.
Lisa walked down the stairs and met Brenda on the couch.
B: "Ok, so why don't you tell me what happened?"
Li: "Nothing to tell..he kissed her I saw, I came home he was there, we fought I left." She closed her eyes. "How could he do this to me.." She opened her eyes. "Brenda I tried so hard, I tried to show him that I loved him without the words..I listened to you and I looked for his way of doing the same..I thought he loved me and was just scared like me..but I was wrong. " She was silent and then looked at her. "I was gonna have a baby with him!..I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.."
B: "Lee, are you?..Are you pregnant?"
She shook her head.
Li: "No I took a test." She looked away. "I was actually disapointed and Louie said Don't worry we'll get it right." She wiped her eyes. Brenda stroked her hair. "He's the first man I ever made love to..'' She looked at Brenda. ''He was alot of my firsts..come to think of it. He's everthing I ever wanted." She cried and leaned her head against Brenda's shoulder. "It hurts so much."
B: "Lisa, I know you don't want to hear this but I think Louie does love you, and that he's probably a mess right now too."
Li: "Do you know what it's like to watch the man you love be with another woman?"
Brenda nodded.
B: "Actually I do..We were still in high school and I thought I was pregnant, Sonny couldn't deal with it So he went to a bar. Louie was driving me home when I saw Sonny outside the bar and some blonde sticking her hand down his pants." Brenda shuddered and let out a breath. 'It broke my heart.''
Lisa looked at her.
Li: "I didn't know." Brenda nodded and then looked at her.
B: "I can't tell you what to feel, but I..I don't want you to leave Port Charles.."
Lisa looked down.
The door knocked and Frannie stood and opened it to Sonny. He walked in and looked at Louie.
Lou: "What're you doing here?"
S: "Your wife just showed up at my house, crying..I figured you might need a friend.''
Louie looked down.
Lou: "She told you what happened?"
S: "Yeah, more or less." He looked at him. "She's planning on leaving town tomorrow."
Lou: "I know."
S: "And your just gonna let her?"
Lou: "What could I do? I hurt her, she doesn't trust me, she can't stand me."
S: "Oh so give up, that's better."
Lou: "Look leave me alone ok? I don't want to talk about it." He stared down at her ring. "Oh god.." He sighed. Sonny looked at Frannie who just shook her head and shrugged.
S: "Louie, I'm telling you where she is man, go to her."
Louie looked up, his eyes bloodshot his face drained.
Lou: "And do what?" He whispered. "Beg her to come back to me? Tell her it wasn't what she thought..Lisa doesn't buy lines like that." He looked at Frannie. "Ask her..I pleaded and she still walked out of here."
Fr: "She's hurt, Louie she's acting on impulse. God do you know when Richie confessed to cheating.. I held a strong front, I walked away, but every night I went to bed wishing he would've came after me."
S: "Sitting here drowning in your sorrows, isn't gonna get your wife back."
Louie looked down and there was a boring silence. He reached into his pocket as he walked over to the counter. He pulled out a box and placed it on the counter. He looked at Sonny.
Lou: "Open It."
Sonny looked at him a moment then walked to the counter and took the box, he opened it and stared down at the 2 carat diamond ring, showered with bigets at its sides. He looked up at Louie.
S: "It's beautiful."
Louie looked down as he spoke in almost a whisper.
Lou: "I asked Lisa, to meet me upstairs in the bridal suite." He motioned to the ring. "I was gonna ask her to marry me. Get down on and one knee and tell her what she's given me, how much I love her. I wanted to re-marry, marry her the right way. Give her the wedding she dreamed of the first time, the wedding she wished we had our first time. I got there and Sara was there. She told me I had hurt her and now it was time for me to feel her pain. She knew Lisa was coming, she knew Lisa would leave me and I'd hurt. I hate the woman, because she didn't just hurt me she hurt Lisa.." Louie shook his head.
Sonny closed the box and placed it back on the counter.
S: "I'm gonna go home, see your wife...you wanna stay here fine. I'll make a deal with you. She's gonna leave, I'll make sure she stays until noon, you come before then you understand me. You put that ring on her finger.Don't let her go."
Lou: "Your one to talk, why aren't you with Brenda, why aren't you making sure she doesn't slip away."
S: "Cause everythings changed between me and Brenda."
Lou: "Exactly.Everything's changed."
Sonny was silent and then he spoke after a moment.
S: "Think about what I said." He turned to Frannie. "You coming?"
Frannie nodded. She walked over to Louie and hugged him.
Fr: "Wise up."
She pulled back and looked at him. She touched his cheek and stared at him sympathetically. He looked down and she dropped her hand, sighing. Louie didn't look up until they left.
When Sonny arrived back at the Penthouse, he found Brenda on the couch, cuddled with a blanket over her. She glanced over her shoulder when she heard the door.
B: "Hey."
He nodded towards hers, and took off his jacket.
S: "Where's Lisa?"
B: "Sleeping. How's Louie?"
He sighed and walked over to the couch, sitting next to her, but keeping his distance.
S: "Not good. He thinks he lost her for good."
Brenda looked at him.
B: "I think he's right...Sonny, she's leaving, I tried to stop her-"
He shook his head.
S: "No one can keep her here but him."
B: "Well he's not here.."
S: "I told him we'd keep her here until noon, if he doesn't come, we did what we could."
B: "You really think he'd just let her go?"
S: "I don't know...he loves her alot."
Brenda sighed.
B: "If she leaves, he's gonna wake up everyday regretting it. Go to sleep everynight, thinking what if." She looked at him. "Like I did when you left."
Sonny looked down. Brenda wrapped her arm around his and leaned her head on his shoulder. He looked down at her and swallowed hard.
B: "I missed you so much. Being apart from you made me realize your not just the man I love." She lifted her head and looked at him. "Your the one I turn to when life get's hard, the one I run to when something good happens, or even the bad. I used to think The girls were my best friends, but I was so wrong. You are, you always have been since that day at the nursing home." They looked at eachother and then she rested her head back on his shoulder. "I wanted you to be there when I walked again, but I thought about how it would be when I walked down that aisle and just looked in your eyes. They told me more than I thought they would. They told me you were proud, that you cared, that I hurt you..And I I'm sorry."
S: (Whispered) "I know."
Brenda stared at the fire as tears fell from her eyes.
B: "Do you really?"
S: "Yes." She closed her eyes as he began to stroke her hair.

B: "I won't ask you to forgive me, thats up to you." She sat up and looked at him, tears running down her face. "I spent these 2 and a half months, working towards this day, when you would come back. You were the reason I went to therapy everyday, the reason I started writing songs for my new album, your what took me out of my depression. And as much as I hurt you and caused you to leave, I thank you for leaving...because it took me back to who I am. I'm not that girl who shuts the world out and only thinks about what she has lost and not what she has. I mean I still think about our baby...what if things had worked differently..I don't think I could ever forget that, But I don't revolve around the grief anymore. I've got a future Sonny, and I'm gonna live it for what we lost, for what we have..Like I said I wont ask for forgivness...but we lost a baby, let's not lose eachother." She looked down and smiled slightly as she wiped her tears. She looked up, cocking her head to the side she smiled. "We could be friends, if that's what you want.."
He looked at her, he flipped her hair behind her ear.
S: "It's not what you want."
She shook her head.
B: "No it's not...I want what we promised to eachother." She sighed. "You say we're different we changed.."
S: "I think you could see it too Brenda."
B: "Losing...the baby, did change us. But not our love."
S: "Maybe we should just see eachother."
B: "See eachother? Like take dates and stuff?"
S: "Yeah..." He winked. "Why not have some fun, it's been awhile don't you think?"
She smiled and nodded.
B: "Yeah.."
He took her hands and brought them to his lips.
S: "I love you." He looked up at her after he said it. She looked at him.
B: (whispers) "I know."
They just looked at eachother for a moment and then Brenda hugged him. Both closed their eyes and relished in their embrace.
Chapter 179.
I don't know, girl (I'm going)
See, Baby I apologize
For all the things that I've done
That I've done
See, I know that I've been a fool
For Far too long
Baby you don't have to go, go and run away
Just come back to papa
Please, baby baby, won't you stay
If you really love me
Then why are you leaving me?
Louie was sitting on the couch, the sun had risen and he was in the same place, same frame of mind as he was when it was pitch black. He sat back against the pillows and just stared at nothing.
*FlashBack*
Lou: "Ah shit..." He stood. "Look Lady Can't you read? We're CLOSED!" His eyes fell upon her.
Her lightbrown hair and dark eyes light her face aglow. His eyes trailed down her body, the leather jacket shaping her curves, her tight jeans forming a second skin to her legs. Normally he'd think twice about being so nasty to such a beautiful woman, but he was in no mood. He was pissed off. He watched a fire born in her eyes and her hand meeting her hip. She tilted her head.
And just as nastily she replied.
W: "Actually there was no sign."
Lou: 'Well now that you know there's the door."
W: "Oh I'm not going anywhere...I came here because of the add in the paper."
Louie laughed as he rolled his eyes.
Lou: "Add said to call..."
W: "Look smart ass, bottomline, I came here for a job and I'm not leaving without one."
She slapped her resume on the bar and crossed her arms under her chest, satisfied she watched him pick it up and read. Louie through his head back and laughed.
W: "Something funny?" She said aggitated.
Louie looked at the paper..
Lou: "Look.." He read her name fromt he paper. "Miss LaFemina-"
W: "Lisa!"
Lou: "Right...Miss LaFemina, you actually expect me to believe you worked for Dow Jones, and now you what? Got bored of stocks and decided to pour liquor on people instead...which book did you copy this one out of.."
She snatched the paper from his hand.
Li: "Believe whatever the fuck you want..but I will tell you this...Mr?"
Louie grinned amused.
Lou: "Cerullo."
Li: "Mr. Cerullo..whatever I did before, I did the best...and I guarantee you I'll pour liquor on customers...or even you for that matter, better than anyone you know.."
Lou: "Right...well don't call us we'll call you."
Li: "I don't think you heard me correctly" She leaned over the bar she whispered. "I'm not leaving here without a job." Louie leaned towards her and stared into her eyes.
***********
He sighed heavily and rubbed his face.
Lisa turned over and looked out the window from the bed, the sunlight shining light on her tired face.
*Flashback*
Lou: "I'm not the one entertaining everyone, I just pour the drink...but you, gotta make them want you...The more they want you the more they come back to see you the more money we make."
She moved towards him and began to talk in a seductive manner.
Li: "Are you saying that, right now, given the chance, you wouldn't want to get me in bed?"
He exhaled and took a step closer, they were just a breath away.
Lou: "What do you think?" (Subtitles: You name the time and place and me and the little guy will be there.)
She bit her lip and cupped him, he bit the side of his cheek as she did so.
Li: "Looks Like your ready to me."
(And so am I so why don't we jump in your backseat?)
**
Louie was standing drinking a cup of coffee, a salesman was next to him talking up a storm.
Sa: "So I decided after whopee cushion business flawed to go into club wear."
Lou: "Is that so.." He rolled his eyes and sipped his coffee, His eyes looked over the rim of the cup. He placed the cup on the counter and stared at Lisa as she walked out of the dressing room. She wore black boots that went just above her knee and short zebra stripe shorts, witht he matching halter top . She placed her hands on her hips and posed for Louie.
LI: "What do you think?"
Lou: "I think we came to the right store.."
Lisa shrugged...
LI: "Are you sure because I don't think these clothes are me.." She said as she examined herself in the mirror. Louie stared her up from her long legs to her torso, to her face and then stepped up behind her. He stared at her through the mirror, placing his hands on her hips.
Lou: "Oh there you..And.." He skimmed his finger down her arm. "They fit their purpose."
She looked over her shoulder.
**
She walked behind Louie and rubbed her body against his, dancing against him she wrapped her arms around him tightly and sang over his shoulder.
Li: "How about the way he acts
Oh no thats not the way
Your not listening to all I've said
If you wanna know
If he loves you so
It's in his kiss
Thats where it is
It's in his kiss"
He turned and she pulled his shirt in her fist to him, without warning she pressed her lips to his. A soft delicate kiss, she pulled back and her eyes slowly opened. Gazing into his she didn't sing another note.
****************

Louie stood up and walked towards the stairs. He placed his hand on the banister and looked at it as he climbed the steps noticing his wedding band.
*Flashback*
Lou: "I went home and took a shower." He pulled up a chair "So why the family reunion?"
Car: "Well a little bird visited us and told us you were getting MARRIED!"
Louie grinned.
Lou: "So you know...remind me to thank that bird.." He looked at Lois.
****
Li" "What's in Vegas?"
Lou: "50 Cars...that need to be stolen."Pause. "By us, we're short people and I need a partner, so what do you say?"
Li: "Are you high?"
He tilted his head.
****
Li: "Where are we going?"
Louie looked over their shoulder and saw Taggert and Garcia's car come out of the car wash.
Louie looked up and opened the door to a building he pushed her inside and they turned and looked around.
Li: "Oh my god."
And Elvis impersonator walked over to them.
E: "Welcome to Elvis' chapel of Love...What package would you lovely youngsters want.."
Louie looked out the window as Taggert got out of the car and searched around.
Lou :"Shit Taggert's right outside. Hey guy you gotta help us...we need a...costume or something."
E: "Oh you want the delux package...Precilla give me a hand.
Precilla walked over and slapped a veil on Lisa's head and a cape over Louie's shoulder she handed Lisa a bouquet and ran to the piano.
E:"You come with me."
He pulled Louie to the altar.Precilla started to play the music and Lisa hurried down the aisle.
Lisa and Louie had their heads down in case Taggert came in.
E: "Now do you take this girl to be your hunka hunka burning love bride?"
Li: "Is he still there?"
Louie looked over her shoulder and could see Taggert looking around outside.
Lou: "Yeah."
E: "Alright and do you take this guy to be your hunka hunka burning love husband?"
LoU: "Alright this is what we're gonna do..Garcia just pulled up and Taggerts walking to the car when the pulls away we get out of here and call Jason to help Sara get the car. OK?"
Li: "Yeah..yeah ok."
E: "Well then.."
Louie and Lisa both turned to Elvis and looked at him confused.
E: "And with the Elvis re-incarnated in me by the sate of Nevada I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride...You ain't nothin but a hound dog!"
Precilla threw rise at them and Louie and Lisa looked wide-eyed at eachother.
*****************
Lisa was throwing a few more things in her backpack when she noticed her bare finger. She looked down at her hand.
FLASHBACK*
The door opened to the "Hunka Hunka Burning Love" Bridal suite. Louie walked in and turned the lights on, as Lisa stormed past him.
Li: "I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS!"
He shut the door and threw the key on the table.
Lou: "Nice room don't you think?" He said as she took one shoe off. She began to respond while removing the other shoe.
LI: "Nice room!?! Is that all you got to say? I'll give you Nice ROOM!" She threw the shoe across the room.
Lou: "Now Mrs. Cerullo, calm down."
****
Lou: "I found these.." He opened his palm and showed her the rings. "Elvis thought we should have them.."
She looked at him and laughed slightly.
Li: "So what do you think? Could Elvis go anymore out of his way?"
Lou: "I don't know...they look like a perfect fit."
Li: "Wanna try them on?"
He shrugged his shoulders.
Lou: "Why not.."
She held out her hand and he smiled at her as he slipped the band on her left ring finger. They both stared at the ring a moment, before she took the other ring out of his hand and grabbed his left hand. Slowly she slid it on his finger, she looked up and smiled at him.
Li: (Whispers) "Looks like Elvis made a perfect match."
****
I finally realized
That you are my true love
And I had a lot of time to think
and you're all I seem to keep think, to keep thinkin of
And now I know I need you
Each and every day
I can't live without you
So don't run away
Baby, you said that you loved me
So why are you leaving me? (why why why why why)
Louie walked into their bedroom and as he changed his clothes he was bombarded with the sweetest memories.
*FlashBacK*
Ja: "What do you think Sonny?"
S: "I wouldn't be surprised."
Lou: "Wanna fill me in?"
Ja: "I'd say the Louster's in love.."
****
B.: "Oh Mr. Cerullo..Mrs. Cerullo, Mr. Holden the landlord is here. He'd like to meet you--"
Li: "OH GOD!" She said as she arched one last time before climaxing. Louie charged into her again, hard and the he collapsed ontop of her moaning her name.
B.: "Mr. & Mrs. Cerullo?"
Louie closed his eyes, out of breath he hollared.
Lou: "Tell him WE'll TAKE IT!" He looked down at her and she smiled at him as she took deep breaths. He leaned down and took her mouth in his.
****
LoU: "NO God damn it..They wouldn't...at least not mine. You want the words?..Fine..I don't want this marriage annulled Lisa. I want to be married to you and I..I want it all with you, the house with the picked fence, the dog in the yard, and the kids waking us up every morning." He cupped her face and stepped closer. "Say you want it to..say you want me."
She closed her eyes, and placed her hands on his wrists.
Lou: (whisper) "Say it.."
She slowly opened her eyes and looked into his.
Li: "I want you..'' She whispered and he closed his eyes and smiled slightly,a relieved smile. She felt his arms wrap around her and pull him to her. She buried her face in his neck, wrapping her arms around him. "I wanna go home..theres something I have to give you."
He pulled back and cupped her face.
Lou: "Baby you just gave me everything."
****
Lou: "Who's lying, Mrs. Cerullo?"
She grinned and hugged him.
Li: "Mmmm..." When they pulled back, she turned and he wrapped one arm around her. His eyes were half closed, he watched her lift her hand to the candlelight and stare at her wedding band. She took his hand and placed them next to eachother. They both stared at the wedding bands and then looked at eachother.
He leaned over her and kissed her lips lightly.
Lou: "G'night baby.
Li: "Call me it one more time?"
He looked at her and grinned.
Lou:"I thought you didn't like being called that.."
Li: "Ssh.."She grinned. "Promise not to tell?"
Lou: "Mmmhmm..''
Li: "I love it."
He smiled and brought her close as she closed her eyes he whispered in her ear.
Lou: "Sweet dreams..Mrs. Cerullo."
The candles surrounding them shined on her face as he watched her sleep through the night....well early morning.
****
Li: "Wait.." She cupped his face and looked into his eyes. "I...I want .."She took a breath and whispered, leaning her forehead against his. "Let's make a baby."
Louie wondered if he heard right. He pushed her back and looked at her.
Lou: "What'd you say?"
She swallowed.
Li: "I want to make a baby with you, just as much as you do."
His eyes widened.
Lou: "You mean that?.."
Li: "Yes."
**********
He walked over to the dresser and opened the box, he looked down at the ring and he sighed. He placed it in his pocket and nodded slowly. He hurried down the stairs, checking his watch.
Lisa was sitting down on the couch. Sonny and Brenda looked at the clock and then Brenda bit her lip and Sonny started to pace. Lisa tilted her head as she stared at the fire.
FLASHBACK:
She turned and looked at Louie, the tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
Li: "Dance with me?"
He stood and took her hands in his she wrapped her arms arms around him, leaning her head against his shouler..she let her mind wander.
****Flashback****
Steven took his little girls hand and lead her in a dance. She giggled and let him spin her, then he kneeled down and pointed to his cheek. She gave him a kiss and he hugged her tight laughing.
St: "Ah...my Funny Face."
*******************
She closed her eyes and listend to the words. Louie caressed her back gently.
****
Lou: "I'm not very good at this am I?"
Li: "Cooking?"
Lou: "Taking care of you...I think that's because the last time I ever took care of anything, LIVE, we wound up flushing Goldie down the toilette."
She chuckled and then smiled, taking his hand in hers.
Li: "You tried, and that's all that matters..I mean you got me to go to a doctor." She touched his cheek. "I gotta sneeze." He laughed and handed her a tissue, watching her catch the sneeze with it. "You know I'm not hungry anyway.." She blew her nose.
Lou: "What can I do for you then?" He whispered as he moved her hair out of her eyes.
Li: "Lay down with me..You've been cooking all night, I kinda miss you.''
He grinned.
Lou: "I could do that."
She smiled and moved over so he could get into bed. He leaned back against the headboard and brought her to his chest, He stroked her hair and looked down at her.
Lou: "You comfortable."
Li: "Mmhmm."She watched the t.v. while he looked at her. He leaned down and kissed her head before turning to the T.V. "What was that for?"
Louie shrugged.
Lou: "I just wanted to."
****
Lou: "Lee.."
Li: "I was kidding..''
He layed back down and she looked at him, the kissed his chest.
Lou: "I'm not talking about that." He sighed and smoothed her hair. She wrapped her arms around him and layed her head on his chest. "What made you change your mind?" He said as he stroked her arm.
Li: "You." She paused and looked up at him. "I care about you Louie, alot and yesterday and today prooved to me that you care about me too." She smiled. "You stood home and took care of me when I was sick, you asked your mom to keep me company and make me soup...you worried if I was taking my medicine, baby you even tried to cook for me." She closed her eyes briefly, her hand caressed his cheek when they opened again. "Look we may not be Romeo and Juliet but I think we'll be ok."
He looked at her for a moment then leaned in closing his mouth over hers in a sincere kiss. He held her face and looked at her.
Lou: "I do care about you Lisa, (hoarse) more than you know, more than either of us could've imagined."
She smiled and then layed her head back on his chest as he wrapped his arms tightly around her, making her squeal in delight.
****
She wiped her eyes and stared at her watch. She stood up and put her sunglasses on, grabbing her coat.
B: "Lisa!"
Li: "Brenda I'm not staying here anymore."
Louie screeched the car against the pavement and ran into Lucky Sevens. He ran behind the bar and looked around
Lou: "SHIT! Where the fuck is it?"
"Looking for something?" He looked up and saw Sara walk through the door.
FlashbacK:
Li: "Louie I-" She stopped short when she saw Sara on top of him, she pulled back with a grin.
Lou: "Lisa, get off of me!" She slammed the door and ran down the stairs. Louie pushed Sara off of him and turned to her. "You bitch...Oh..you did it this time!"
****
Lou: "Get the fuck out of my sight."
Sara smiled.
Sa: "What's the matter Louie, wife leave ya?"
Louie glared at her.
Lou: "That's what you wanted isn't it?"
She nodded.
Sa: "It's what you deserved. So tell me, hows it feel, to have some desert you."

Sonny and Brenda watched as Lisa walked out of the penthouse. She got off the elevator and went to her car. She got in and just sat there a moment.
FLASHBACK:
Lou: "What do you think?"
Lisa looked over her shoulder.
Li: "Your talking to me?" She rolled her eyes. "Shouldn't you ask Sara...what she thinks."
Lou: "I'm not moving in with Sara am I.."
Li: "I don't know..I mean you will be sharing a hallway with her...and we wouldn't want to make her be uncomfortable."
Lou: "Now your putting words in my mouth."
Lisa looked at him.
Li: "Am I?"
Lou: "Yeah. Never once did I say I cared if she was uncomfortable...the only reason I brought her up in the first place was because I didn't want you to be uncomfortable..I didn't want you to fall in love with the apartment, we move in and you hate it here because she's across the hall."
Li: "So now you think I can't handle her..Let me tell you somethin--"
Lou: "DID I FUCKING SAY THAT!?" He ran his fingers through his hair. "Jesus Lisa, I know you can fucking handle her..I've had front row seats to a couple of rounds.."
Li: "Then what the fuck is the big deal about her living across the hall...She doesn't intimidate me...she could say whatever she wants to say do whatever she wants to do, It doesn't matter. Theres not a fucking thing she can do that I can't do better."She paused. "I'll be damned if she's gonna start controling where I go and where I live."
****
Li: "Louie I-" She stopped short when she saw Sara on top of him, she pulled back with a grin.
Lou: "Lisa, get off of me!" She slammed the door and ran down the stairs. Louie pushed Sara off of him and turned to her. "You bitch...Oh..you did it this time!"
Lisa ran down the stairs as fast as she could, trying desperately not to cry. She bumped into Johnny.
Jo: "Lisa..whoa..what's wrong?" She looked up at him, the tears fell down her cheeks.
Li: "You gotta get me out of here! I gotta go home!"
jo: "Wait! Just tell me what happened."
LI: "JOHNNY PLEASE NOW!"
Frannie walked towards Lisa.
Fr: "Lisa what happened?" Lisa turned to Frannie and then back to Johnny.
Li: "I'm begging you." She pleaded with him.
Gloria and Carmine walked to where the commotion was.
G: "What's going on--Lisa what's wrong!?"
Lisa grabbed Johnny's shirt.
Li: "I need to go home!"
Frannie handed Briana to her mother
Fr: "Fine..I'll take you home."
Lisa shook her head.
Li: "No.." She covered her face and then looked at her.
Car: "Where the fuck is Louie!?"
Lisa looked at Carmine.
Li: "If anyone wants my husband HES UPSTAIRS KISSING SARA!"
************
She started the car and drove away, tears streaning down her face.
Louie glared at her.
Lou: "I don't have time for this..I have to go save what's left of my marriage."
Sa: "Words of advice--never works. You can say whatever, she won't take you back."
Lou: "Why because I didn't take you back? I didn't love you. Lisa loves me and I love her. Did you think about that when you plotting to ruin my life? Sara I didn't hate you before..Now I can't stand the sight of you. God help you if you drove my wife out of this town..because Your next. I will make sure Port Charles is Rid of you."
She opened her mouth to speak when a series of bullets fled through the walls. She dropped to the floor as did Louie.
If I can see you, I can see you
If I can see you,
If I can see you,
If I can see you,
If I can see you,
IF I can see you again, then I will go
If I can see you again, I would go crazy
Sara rolled over when she knew it was safe. She turned when she heard Louie wincing.
Sa: "oh My god! Louie."
He closed his eyes and pain.
There was blood pouring from his chest. She crawled over to him and looked at him, not knowing what to do.
Lou: "(wincing) Call 911."
Sa: "Theres so much blood..Louie..listen."
Lou: "911"
She nodded and stood, shakily she walked over to the phone behind the bar and dialed 911.
Sa: "Yea...there was a shooting..I'm at Lucky Sevens, A mans been shot please hurry.."
Lou: "Sara!" He cringed. She dropped the phone and hurried to him.
Sa: "Ssh...don't talk..just hang in there."
He looked at her and tried desperately.
Lou: "Please.."
Sa: "What?"
His eyes began to droop
Lou: "Tell Lisa I love her.."
Sara didn't say a word.
Lou: "Sara.." He winced.
Sa: "O..Ok."
His eyes closed.
Sa: "LOUIE!"
