Later that night Brenda and Sonny go to see Jessi after she is moved. Brenda goes in first.
B: Walks in, halfway through the doorway she stops. "Jessi, honey." Brenda smiles when she sees Jessi sleeping. She looked so peaceful. She turns to Sonny who is behind her. "Shhh. She's asleep."
S: Walks in behind Brenda and looks at Jessi. He smiles. "She looks like an angel sleeping so quietly."
B: Walks over to a chair by the bed and sits down. Sonny follows her and stands behind the chair. "She is my angel. I don't know what I would do if I lost her, too."
S: "Like you lost me?"
B: Turns to look at him and quietly and distantly says, "Yeah, like I lost you." She turns back around to look at Jessi.
S: Kneels down to the side of Brenda's chair. He places his hand softly on Jessi's face and runs his fingers down her cheek. She stirs slightly but doesn't wake up. He turns to Brenda. "She's beautiful, like her mother."
B: "She definitely looks like you, not me." They sit in silence for awhile watching Jessi sleep. Brenda breaks the silence. "I named her after you. Jessica Michelle Corinthos."
S: Looks up. A little surprised, then he smiles. "Thank you. I like it."
B: "At the time I thought that if I gave her your name that your spirit and name would live on."
S: Takes both of Brenda's hands and looks into her eyes, in which tears have started to form. "Brenda, I'm sorry. This wasn't how things were supposed to turn out. I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused you and Jessi over the years. I love you Brenda you've got to believe that. I did everything for you and in turn for our daughter."
B: "Why Sonny? Why did you go? Why did you leave me behind?" She starts to cry
S: "Is that what you think? That's not what happened"
B: "Then what happened?"
S: "I can't tell you yet."
Brenda calmly, almost too calm, gets up and heads for the door. S: "Where are going?"
B: In a harsh whisper and a few tears falling down her face. "This conversation is going nowhere but into a probable argument. I'm not waking Jessi up because you can't trust me with your whereabouts for the last ten years." She walks out the door. Sonny gets up and follows her out.
S: Outside the room Sonny tries to explain to Brenda. "Brenda, I didn't say I didn't trust you."
B: "That's not the way it sounded to me. You know ever since I saw you today, I felt like I could handle anything. You were here. You weren't in my dreams, you were real. I thanked God that my prayers were answered. Then I started thinking, where have you been? Why would you leave? What am I supposed to think? And now you can't even tell me where the h*ll you've been!"
S: Goes to her and tries to put his arms around her. "Brenda it's not…" She steps away from him and he retreats backwards. "….It's not that I don't want to tell you, I just can't. Not yet. I will soon. It's still too dangerous."
B: "We're have I heard that before? That's what you've always told me when you were lying. I need to lie to you to protect you. God, I hate those words. They're what got me here tonight in the first place. I've been doing the same thing to Jessi since the day she was born. She hates it as mcuh as I do. What are you going to tell her when she asks?"
S: "I don't know. I haven't thought that far yet."
B: "You better start thinking fast. She will be asking questions in the morning." With that Brenda turned and walked away.
S: "Where are you going this time?"
B: "For a walk. Don't follow me."
The gang, who had watched the whole thing, didn't know what to do. Sonny wasn't even here a whole day and he'd already had a fight with his wife. Lois went after Brenda. Julia walked up to Sonny and slapped him.
S: 'What was that for? What have I done to you?"
J: "You stay away from my family. My sister and niece have been through enough, they don't need you complicating their lives. Go back under whatever rock you crawled out of." With that she turned and went after Lois and Brenda.
Sonny turns to Mike who had come over to him.
S: "Julia?"
M: "Yeah. She hates you with a passion."
S: Rubbing his cheek. "I can tell. I'm not staying away. They're my family too."
M: "I know. She knows too. She's just afraid that you'll hurt them."
S: "I wouldn't do that intentionally. Where's Clive? I need to talk to him."
M: "Over there." Points to Clive and Sonny goes over there.
S: "We need to talk now, outside." Clive nods. They get Jason and head outside in the opposite direction that Brenda headed.
