It's morning time. Brenda is still sleeping in the chair. Jessi is sleeping, but won't be for long. Sonny is awake and looking out the window. The scene is like this for a couple of minutes until Jessi begins to stir she wakes up and sees her mom asleep in the chair.
J: "Mom, are you awake?" She doesn't get an answer. "I guess not."
Sonny hears her and turns around. He just watches her. She lies there for a few minutes then starts to get out of bed.
S: "Hey, where do you think you're going?"
J: Looks up and is a little startled to see Sonny there, then blushes because he caught her. Then timidly says, "I….uh…was just hungry. I was going to go find someone who could get me something."
S: Thinking that the little blush she had when she realized she'd been caught was one of most beautiful things he'd ever seen. "You don't have to go anywhere." He goes over to the bed, pulls the cover back and motions for her to get back under the covers. Not really sure what she should do, she looks at him questioningly and does get back under the covers. "You see that little button ?" She nods yes. "If you push that someone will come and help you."
J: A little excited at the prospect of just a touch of a button and someone would be in the room. "Really?" She smiles and squeals a little.
S: Smiles at her excitement. She must have got that from Brenda he thought. "Yeah. Try it and see. Keep it quiet, though your mother still asleep."
J: "Okay." She replies in a whisper. She excitedly pushes the button and waits patiently for someone to enter the room. A few minutes later the town gossip, Amy enters. As she does, Jessi looks at Sonny and says,"Wow. That was cool."
S: "I told you it would work."
A: Is looking down at a chart as she comes in. "What would work, Miss Jessi Corinthos?" Looks up and sees Sonny. "Oh My God!! Sonny Corinthos!!" As she says this Bobbie walks in and Brenda wakes up.
B: "Amy haven't you heard? Sonny's alive and back. It's been the talk of the hospital all night. I'm surprised you haven't heard yet."
A: "No one informed me." Turns to Jessi a bit miffed that she wasn't the first to find out about this juicy bit of gossip. "Jessi, you wanted something?"
J: "Yeah." Looks at Sonny. What should she call him? She'd always called him Daddy, but would he like that? "Uh, he said that if I push this button you would come in here. It worked. I was wondering if I could get some breakfast."
A: "You sure can. Here fill out this piece of paper and the breakfast cart will bring you what you want. (I'm not sure if all hospitals work like this, but the one I've been in give you a piece of paper with a couple of choices to pick your meal from or to specify if you are on some kind of diet.)" Amy hands her a piece of paper with of a couple of breakfast choices. "How are you feeling this morning?" Amy goes on the check her vital signs.
J: "I have a little headache, but I feel fine."
A: "Well it looks like everything is okay. Let me go get you something for your headache. You can give that paper to your Grandma when you are done or you can give it to me when I come back."
J: "Okay." Amy leaves the room. "Grandma, where's Grandpa?"
Bo: "He had to work honey. He'll come by later with Michael."
S: "Michael?"
Bo: "Carly and AJ's little boy."
S: "Oh."
Br: "Honey if you want breakfast, you better fill out that paper. Want some help?"
J: "No, I think I have it finished." She hands it to Bobbie who takes it.
Bo: "I'll see what I can do for you." Bobbie leaves the room. Jessi notices that things are quiet once the guests have left her room. She feels a little uncomfortable with the silence.
J: Trying to break the silence. "Okay guys guess what I ordered for breakfast."
B: "I don't think that Frosted Flakes is available so my guess would be oatmeal."
J: "That's right."
S: "You like oatmeal?"
J: Turns to face Sonny. "Yeah, do you?"
S: "No. I don't think your mother does either."
B: "I don't, but Bobbie makes it for her sometimes when she visits them. She loves it."
J: "I also ordered toast with jam."
B: Smiles. "I'll let Daddy guess what kind of jam you picked." She looks over Jessi's head and gives Sonny a sly smile. "It's his favorite too."
S: Takes the hint. "If it runs in the family I'll have to guess strawberry."
J: "You like strawberry too? Ill share my toast with you then."
S: "Thanks, but you eat it. I'll go down to the cafeteria when I'm hungry."
B: "Jessi, do you think you'll be okay if I go home for a little bit? I'm going to pick up some of your things like your toothbrush, some clothes, that book you were reading. Anything else?"
J: Looks at Sonny and smiles. She thinks that he doesn't seem so scary anymore. "Yeah, I think I will be okay. Can you bring Baby Teddy, too, please."
B: "Sure I can." She gets up and gives Jessi a kiss on the cheek. She walks to the door, turns around and says to Jessi, "Bye, sweetie." She turns to Sonny and says with an air of coldness. "Bye, Sonny." Sonny knew she was letting him talk to Jessi, but she wasn't forgetting what happened the night before.
S&J: "Bye" Brenda left the room as Amy came in.
A: "Here's something you can take for your headache." She gives Jessi some pills and water to swallow them with. Jessi does and Amy leaves the room.
Sonny and Jessi are now alone in the room.
J: "So I guess you're my daddy."
S: "Yeah, I guess I am."
J: "What would you like for me to call you?"
S: "Well what do you usually call me?"
J: "Daddy. Is that okay?"
S: Smiles a dimpled smile. "I would love for you to call me Daddy." With that her dimpled smile mirrors his.
J: "Daddy?"
S: Music to his ears. "Yeah."
J: "Just practicing."
S: Laughs. "Practice all you want. I love hearing it."
