A Love That Can't Be Denied by Linda Chapter 1 When I heard that Jax was going to be the one to save S & B from, Rivera I was very annoyed. I never really liked Jax, and I hate the idea of GH making him out to be a hero. So I decided to write him as I see him. Sonny, Brenda, Jax, and Veronica (she needs a name) have escaped Rivera and have the evidence to clear Brenda. Sonny and Brenda go to their motel room to get cleaned up. Jax and Veronica do the same. They plan to meet at the airport later. ~Jax and Brenda~ V: You know, Mr. Jax, despite all the rumors,Mr. Corinthos seemed very nice. J: Is that so? V: Yes. You can tell that he loves Miss Barret very much. J: Not for long, officer. V: What are you talking about? Just as she says this, Jax knocks her out, and she falls to the floor. ~S&B's room~ Brenda has just taken a shower. She comes out of the bathroom to find Sonny dressed and ready to go. S: You feel better? B: Much. I can't wait to get back to Port Charles and marry you. S: You still want to? B: (shocked)What!?! Of course I do! Why would you even ask that? S: Well, after everything that's happened... B: (interrupts) Hey don't do that to yourself. She leads him to the bed to sit down. She sits on his lap. B: We belong together, and no matter what happens you'll always be in my heart and I'll always be in yours. Besides, we've waited too long for this to give up now. I love you, Sonny! Sonny gives her a soft kiss. S: I love you too! B: (gets up) What do you say we go home, so we can get married? S: Best idea that I heard all day. S&B leave for the airport. They arrive and see Jax waiting on the runway by a private plane. They walk up with their arms around each other. B: Hey Jax. Where's your friend? J: Veronica? She's in the plane. S: Okay. I think Bren has something to tell you, so I'll get on the plane too. Sonny kisses Brenda's forehead and boards the plane. He walks in and finds Veronica tied up. He goes to warn Brenda and Jax, but the plane door locks itself, and he can't get out. Brenda is about to tell Jax about her engagement, when he grabs her ans they board another plane. The plane with Sonny and Veronica on it takes off. Jax ties Brenda up. He takes the controls and takes off in the other direction. B: Why are you doing this, Jax? J: (angry) Why am I doing this? Brender, you're in love with a mobster who's gonna get you killed. I can't let that happen. B: Sonny will protect me. J: Like he did this time? Right, Brender. Now I have to fly this plane, so be quiet. With that said, Jax gags Brenda so she can't speak. Chapter 2 Six months have gone by. Sonny and Veronica were taken to a house that Jax owns in London. They were locked up and guarded. Jax took Brenda to Australia. He tried to get her to love him, but she only despised him more and more each day. Her love for Sonny never died, and Jax knew it every time he looked at her. It was six o'clock, and Brenda was starving. There was an intercom in Brenda's room so she could talk to Jax, which she rarely used. She hated seeing him, but in her condition she had to eat. She called him on the intercom, and ten minutes later he was in her \ room with food. J: Here you are, luv. He hands her the tray of food. B: (sarcastically) Thanks. J: You know I'll do anything for you, Brender. B: Then, let me and Sonny go. J: I'm sorry. I can't do that. Why don't you understand that he'll only hurt both of you? B: Sonny would never let anyhting happen to me or OUR CHILD. J: Well, he'll never get that chance. Jax leaves the room. B: Oh Sonny, you have to help me and our baby. I wish I could tell you that I'm seven months pregnant. I know you'd be here every step of the way. You'd take me to the doctor, and get me whatever I was craving. We could think of names together. I hate Jax for robbing ud of that. I hate him! During the last six months in London, Sonny and Veronica became friends. Every time Sonny mentioned Brenda, Veronica saw the love in his eyes. She knew she had to help him get her back. So, they searched the house from top to bottom, but found no way out. They needed the guards to be out of the way, and that would take a miracle. The entire time they were there, they didn't even talk to the guards. How could they get them to move? Back in Australia, Brenda laid in her bed in pain. She cried out for help, and Jax ran to her side. It hurt so much. All she wanted was for Sonny to come and take away all the pain. Twenty minutes later, a doctor arrived and said Brenda was in premature labor. ~~In London~~ S: Are you ready? V: Yeah. You? S: Yeah. Go. Veronica gets up and walks over to the guard. V: Excuse me, sir, but I thought you might like a drink? Guard: Sorry ma'am. Can't drink on the job. V: It's just soda. Guard: In that case, thank you. He takes the glass and drinks it. Guard: I've been working here for six months and I don't even know your name. V: How rude of me. I'm Veronica. Guard: Nice to meet... The guard faints mid-sentence, and Sonny comes and drags him away. Sonny takes his gun, and Veronica finds another one on him and takes it. They shoot the other two guards in the back of the house and run for their lives. Chapter 3 Brenda was in labor for about ten hours, but she finally gave birth to a healthy baby girl. She decided to name her Sarah Marie Corinthos. It is now a couple of months after she was born. Brenda sits on her bed holding her. She looks at her beautiful daughter, who looks so much like Sonny. A tear rolls down her face. B: You're so beautiful, Sarah. You look just like your daddy. I wish he was here with us sweetheart. He would love you from the second he saw you. (looks out the window) You've gotta find us Sonny. We need you. Sonny and Veronica escaped and got out of London. They got a motel room and searched to find Brenda. After continuous thinking of where Jax had taken her, Veronica remembered something. V: I've got it. S: Got what? V: I remembered something. After Jax knocked me out, he made some phone calls and... S: How would you know? You were out cold. V: That's just it. I came to while he was using the phone. He said something about Sydney, but I thought that was the name of the person on the phone. He's from Australia, right? Maybe he meant Sydney, Australia. S: Why didn't I think of this before? He's got to be in Australia. Sonny picks up the phone and gets the hotel operator. S: Can you connect me with the airport? Thank you.Yes, hi. I need two tickets on your next flight to Syney, Australia. It's the next day. Brenda is walking around the room with Sarah in her arms. Sarah falls asleep, so Brenda puts her in her crib. She hears a noise outside and goes to the window. She's amazed to find Sonny and Veronica below her two-story high window. She opens it. (Jax didn't board it up because he knew she wouldn't tryto jump and leave tha baby.) B: Sonny? Oh my g*d! S: Oh, baby. I missed you so much. I love you! B: I love you too honey! S: Okay, baby. I'm gonna get you out of here, but you've gotta jump. I promise I'll catch you. B: Sonny, I can't. She couln't jump with Sarah. She might hurt her. S: Dou you trust me? B: (smiles) Of course I do, but I can't jump. You have to come up and get me. S: Alright. I'm coming, baby. Veronica found a rope, and Sonny threw it up to Brenda. She tied it to the bedpost, and Sonny climbed up. Once he got through the window, he held on to Brenda for dear life. They cried as they looked into each other's eys. S: (hoarse) I love you! B: (smiles) I love you too! Sonny gives her a soft kiss on the lips. S: I'd love to hold you, like this forever, but we'd better get out of here before Jerx comes back. Sonny starts to walk to the window, but Brenda grabs his arm. B: Sonny, wait. There's something I need to show you. Brenda walks over to Sarah'scrib and picks her up. B: (crying) Sonny, I'd like you to meet your daughter. Chapter 4 *NOTE*: We pick up right where we left off. S: (shocked) Daughter? Sonny turns around and sees Brenda holding a beautiful baby girl. S: When? How? Brenda walks over to Sonny. She takes his hand and gently rests it on Sarah's back. B: According to the doctors, she was conceived while we were on the run. (smiles at him) As for the how, I think you can guess. Sonny smiles. S: Can I...can I hold her? B: Of course you can. Bredna hands him the baby and shows him how to hold her. Brenda looks at him in awe. S: What did you name her? B: Sarah Marie Corinthos. Do you like it? S: It's a beautiful name. She's beautiful, just like her mommy! Brenda smiles at him. B: We should get out of here before Jax gets back. Cna you carry her down? S: Yeah. It's a little cool out. Do you have a blanket? B: Yeah. Hold on. Brenda wraps Sarah in a blanket and hands her back to Sonny. Sonny climbs down the rope and hands Sarah to Veronica. S: Your turn, baby. Brenda climbs down, and Sonny catches her. They hear a noise in the background. Brenda grabs the baby, and they all hide. A guard walks by without noticing them. B: Take me home. S: Let's get out of here. Sonny, Brenda, Veronica, and the baby all head to the airport. ~~In the house~~ Jax spent the day shopping for toys for Sarah. He decides to bring them to Brenda's room. He opens the door and is shocked to find Brenda and Sarah gone. He notices the rope dangling out the window. J: Damn her. How did she...? Of course. Corinthos. Jax pulls out his cell phone and calls the guards in London. J: Go check on Veronica and Corinthos, NOW. I knew it. They're gone. Jax hangs up the phone. J: You're gonna pay for this Corinthos. You're gonna wish you'd never crossed me when I kill Brenda and your precious little baby. ~~At the airport~~ S: I booked us on the next flight to Port Charles. It doesn't board for another couple of hours, so why don't we go get something to eat, and you can tell me all about this beautiful baby. Brenda smiles at him. V: Hey, Sonny. I'm not going to Port Charles. I'm gonna go on an extended vacation. Actually, I have a brother I haven't seen in years, so I'm gonna go see him. S: Okay. I know what you mean. If there's one thing that this whole ordeal has taught me, it's that family is the most important thing in the world. He smiles at Brenda. B: Well, when you get settled, give us a call. You can come visit. V: That'd be great. Good luck guys. S: We don't need luck. Veronica leaves, and S&B go to the airport's restaurant to talk. Sonny is holding Sarah while Brenda gets her a bottle. S: Now what do you say we fill each other in on some blank spots? Chapter 5 Sonny and Brenda have finished eating. Throughout lunch, they've gone through everything that's happened since they've been apart. They heard their boarding call and are walking to the gate to their plane. B: Where did you put the tickets? S: Tickets? What tickets? B: (a little annoyed) Sonny! S: Oh those tickets. They're in my jacket pocket. The inside one. Since Sonny is holding Sarah, Brenda reaches into his poacket, and their faces are only inches apart. They stare into each other's eyes. Brenda takes the tickets and hands them to the airline clerk. AC: Okay. Here are your boarding passes. enjoy your flight. B: Thank you. They get on the plane and settle in their seats. They put Sarah in her baby seat by the window. Sonny and Brenda are so tired that they sleep almost the entire flight. Pilot: Cna I have your attention, please? If you would all put on your seatbelts, we will be landing in Port Charles in a matter of minutes. Brenda lifts her head up to notice that she had slept with her head resting on Sonny's chest the whole flight. B: I'm sorry. I had my head on you all this time. S: Believe me, I didn't mind. They smile at each other. They are about to kiss when the stewardess interrupts. Stewardess: I'm sorry, but you'll have to put your seatbelts on now. They pull back and buckle up. They land safely and get off the plane. Brenda holds Sarah, and Sonny carries the baby bag. They get into a limo that takes them to the penthouse. It's about ten p.m. S: (looks at Sarah) She looks tired. We can lay her down in Stone's bed for now. We'll barricade her with pillows. B: I guess she'll be okay. S: Tommorrow we can go shopping. (Brenda's eyes light up at the thought of going shopping.) Sarah needs a crib. B: Yeah and I can't wait to but her the cutest little outfits. S: And toys. Lots and lots of toys. She's gonna be the happiest baby in the world. B: Really! S: I'm gonna spoil her so much. She's gonna have anything she wants. B: She's only a couple months old, and she's got you in her back pocket already. Sonny smiles at Brenda knowing she's right. They take Sarah upstairs and put her in Stone's bed. They stand there in each others arms and stare at their beautiful daughter. S: (whispers) You know what? She looks like you. B: (whispers) Really? I think she looks like her daddy! S: Okay. We'll compromise. She looks like the both of us. Brenda giggles, and they leave the room so they don't wake Sarah. They walk into the bedroom, and their glances turn from each other to the bed. Sonny slowly moves in for a kiss, and Brenda lets him. The kiss starts out soft, but becomes more intense. They pull back and stare into each other's eyes. Brenda unbuttons Sonny's shirt and kisses his chest. Sonny unzips her dress and it falls to the floor. He picks her up and carries her to the bed. They make love for hours and fall asleep in each others arms. Chapter 6 Brenda awakens from her first good nights sleep in months, to find that Sonny isn't there. She looks around the room, but can't find him. She gets out of bed and puts on Sonny's shirt. She walks down the hall, but halts at the sound of Sonny's voice. She stands in the doorway to Stone's room and smiles. Sonny is sitting on the edge of the bed holding Sarah. He doesn't notice Brenda. S: (to Sarah) You're so beautiful, you know that. As beautiful as your Mommy. (Brenda blushes) I still can't believe that I'm a part of something so innocent and fragile.This is all I've ever wanted in my whole life, a family. 'Cause that's what we are. You, me, and Mommy are a family. (Brenda starts to cry) She doesn't know it yet, but eventually I'm gonna marry your Mommy. Would you like that? Brenda walks into the room and speaks. B: I don't know what Sarah thinks about it, but I'd love to be your wife. Sonny is surprised ny her voice. He quickly turns his head to the door. He's a little embarrassed. S: I didn't know you were standing there. B: I can see that. (smiles at him) I woke up, and you weren't there with me. S: I'm sorry. Sarah was crying, and I didn't want to wake you. During their conversation, Sarah fell asleep again. Sonny lays her back on the bed. B: I didn't mean to eaves drop. If you want, I'll forget you even said anything. Brenda walks away, and Sonny follows her. S: Brenda, wait. He grabs her arm and turns her to face him. S: Baby, I love you. B: I know you do, honey, but just because we have Sarah doesn't mean we have to get married. If you're not ready, then that's okay. S:Brenda, what makes you think I'm not ready? B: Well, you said 'eventually', so I thought... S: I didn't mean it like that. I thought you didn't want to get married right away. All I meant was that I was gonna wait for you to be sure. B: What gave you the idea that I'd want to wait? S: Well, with my business... I just thought that you'd want to protect Sarah from my world by keeping her away from me. I would hate it, but I wouldn't blame you if you did. B: Sonny, I know how much a family means to you. I would never keep Sarah away from her Daddy. What am I saying? I could never keep myself away from you. They both laugh. S: So does that mean that you'll marry me? B: I guess so. S: What do you mean 'I guess so'? B: (flirting) You haven't convinced me yet. S: (flirting) Oh. It's like that, huh? B: Oh, yeah! Brenda starts giggling as Sonny kisses her neck. He starts to unbutton her shirt, and they fall onto the bed. They are kissing intensely when the phone rings. S: Damn! Let it ring. B: It might be important. Sonny gently kisses her lips. She answers the phone. B: Hello. Caller: Good morning, Brender. You miss me? Brenda drops the phone when she hears the voice. It's unmistakable. S: Who is it, baby? B: It's Jax. Chapter 7 **NOTE: I had to add this part. It was too funny to pass up. It may get a little confusing though. Sonny reaches over Brenda and grabs the phone. Brenda gets up and leaves the room. S: (anger building) What do you want? J: (cheery) I called to see how my wife was doing. S: (confused) What? Brenda and Sarah are perfectly healthy. Now leave us alone! J: (confused) Who's Sarah? Just then a man grabs the phone from Jax. Man: Hello. S: (totally confused) Who is this? M: I'm a guard from the Sydney Institution for the Criminally Insane. I have no idea who let Mr. Jax use the phone, but he's going back into lock up now. S: (excited) Lock up? M: Yes. He was caught at the airport witha a bomb threatening to kill anyone who hurt a woman named Brenda. He insists that the year is 1996 and that he is married to this woman. Look, I'm sorry sir, but I have to go now. The guard hangs up and so does Sonny. He sits there in disbelief. Brenda walks in cradling Sarah in her arms. She climbs in bed next to Sonny, and she wraps his arms around her and Sarah. B: (to Sarah) It's okay, sweetheart. Mommy and Daddy are here. Sonny kisses Brenda's forehead. S: Bren, you're never gonna believe this! B: (trembling) Believe what? S: Jax called from a sanitarium. He's been locked up. B: What? S: I'm gonna get someone to check on this right away. I want the whole story. B: Does this mean we can move on with the rest of our lives and forget about Jax? S: I hope so, baby. Sonny makes a couple calls and the story checks out. Jax was institutionalized and will be locked up for the next twenty years. They are so happy, they decide to go out and celebrate. Nobody in town knows that they are back. They walk into Luke's unnoticed. It's around one o'clock in the afternoon, and it's pretty busy because it's lunch hour. Robin and Jason are at the bar talking to Luke and Mike. Sonny and Brenda walk over to the bar. Sonny is holding Sarah. B: Hey Sonny, you think Sarah would like to meet her family? Everyone turns and sees Sonny, Brenda, and the baby. They're all shocked. Robin jumps up and hugs Brenda. R: Bren! Sonny! L: Hey man! (looks at Sarah) Do you have something to tell us? S: You could say that. Guys, I'd like you all to meet Sarah. B: Our daughter. M: Daughter? That makes me-. S: (interrupts) Old, Pops. They all laugh. B: (to Mike) You can hold her if her Daddy will let go. Mike comes around the counter and takes Sarah from a reluctant Sonny. B: (to Sarah) Sweetie, this is your Grandpa. Mike holds Sarah so that she is facing Robin, Jason, and Luke. Sonny has his arms around Brenda's waist. B: (to Sarah) And these people are you're Aunt Robin and Uncle Jason. S: (to Sarah) And this (points to Luke) is your Uncle Luke. M: I really missed you son, but would you guys like to tell us what happened to you? Chapter 8 Sonny and Brenda have just finished explaining the whole story. Everyone has held Sarah. Robin has her now. Sonny, Brenda, Robin, and Jason are siiting at the table next to the bar. Luke and Mike are on barstools. Brenda is leaning back on Sonny's chest, and he has his arms around her. R: She is so beautiful guys. Sonny and Brenda smile. S: You ready, Bren? B: Yes. J: Where are you going? S: Shopping. Sarah really needs a crib. B: And clothes! And toys too! Robin laughs. While Brenda gets Sarah ready to go, Sonny privately talks to Luke. S: Can you do me a favor, man? L: Sure. Lay it on me. Sonny hands Luke a piece of paper. S: Can you call this number and tell them to have ny order ready at 4:30pm? L: Okay. Is it anything special? S: Definitely. Sonny and Brenda have left Luke's and spent the last few houra th the mall, shopping for Sarah. It's almost 4:30pm. S: Why don't we get something to eat Bren? B:Okay. S: Can you wait on line? I'll be back in ten minutes. B: Where are you going? S: I'll tell you later. Order me a turkey sandwich. Sonny walks away before Brenda can say anything else. We see him walk into a jewelry store. He goes up to the sales clerk. S: Hello. I'm here to pick up an order. Clerk: What's the name?,br> S: Corinthos. Someone should have called before. The clerk goes and checks on the order. He comes back with a small jewelry box. Clerk: Here we are, Mr. Corinthos. It must be for a special woman. S: (smiles) It is! Sonny pays for the ring, puts it in his pocket, and goes back to Brenda. B: Where'd you go? S: I told you. I'll tell you later. B: You promise? S: I promise. They eat, do a little more shopping, and go home. They lay Sarah on a blanket on the floor, while they try to put the crib together. The doorbell rings, and Sonny answers it. It's Lois and Brooke-Lynn. S: Cerullo! L: Corinthos! Jason told Ned, who told me that you were back. I was so worried when I-.(sees Sarah) Whoa! who's that? Brenda picks Sarah up off the floor. B: Lois, this is Sarah Marie Corinthos, oue daughter. L: I think we all have some catching up to do. Chapter 9 Sonny, Brenda, and Lois put the crib together while they talked. Brooke and Sarah played with the new toys they bought. L: I can't believe Jax would do something like that. B: Neither could I. I thought I knew him. I guess I was wrong. S: But the story has a happy ending. We're back together, and we have a beautiful daughter. Sonny goes and picks up Brooke and Sarah. S: And a beautiful goddaughter too! B: Yeah. I can't believe how big she got. Brenda goes over and takes Brooke from Sonny. B: Now it's your turn to explain. L: Explain what? S: How about why you're back in Port Charles? B: And how Ned came to mention that we were back. L: Oh that. When Ned came home from work, he told me. S: Home? L: Did I forget to mention that we're back together? B: Back together! That's great. L: Yes, it is, and speaking of Ned, I told him I wouldn't be too long, so I've got to go. B: Oh, okay. Call me tomorrow. You, me, and Robin can take the girls somewhere. L: Sounds good. They all hug. Lois and Brooke leave. S: Let's take this crib upstairs, so Sarah can get to bed. They take it upstairs and put Sarah to sleep. They come back down and Sonny gets a bottle of wine. B: We can bring the rest of her things up tomorrow. I don't want to wake her. S: Sounds good to me. I'm tired anyway. He hands her a glass of wine. She goes to drimk it, but Sonny stops her. S: I want to make a toast first. B: Okay. S: To the most beautiful woman in the world. (Brenda smiles) While we were apart, I got through every day by thinking of you. I'm never gonna let us be separated again. I love you, Brenda! Brenda has tears in her eyes. B: That was so sweet, honey. I love you, too! They kiss. S: Do you remember when I went off somewhere in the mall today? B: Yes. S: Well I went to the jewelry store. B: Jewelry store? S: Yeah. I know I've already asked you and you've already accepted, but I wanted to do this right. (pulls out the ring) I love you more than anything and I want you to be my wife. Will you marry me? Brenda has tears running down her face. Sonny wipes them away. B: Yes! Yes. I'll marry you, Sonny! Sonny slips the ring on her finger and kisses her. He carries her upstairs, and they make love all night long. Chapter 10 It's the next morning. Sonny and Brenda are asleep in each other's arms. They awaken at the sound of a crying Sarah. B: (groggy) I got her. Brenda gets out of bed, puts on Sonny's robe, and goes to get Sarah. She comes in a couple of minutes later with Sarah in her arms. Sonny sits up on the bed, and Brenda sits next to him. B: She's just hungry. Right sweetie? Brenda begins to breastfeed Sarah. Sonny looks on amazed. Brenda looks at him. B: What is it, honey? S: Nothing. I've just never seen you do that before. Brenda smiles at him. B: I've been bottle feeding her ever since we got home. S: You look so beautiful. She leans against him and continues to feed Sarah. After a while, she stops. She is now changing Sarah. S: I don't want to wait. B: What did you say, honey? S: I don't want to wait. I want to get married today, right now! B: What? We can't pull that off. There's not enough time. S: All we need is you, me, a priest, and some friends. What do you say? B: How fast can Lois and Robin be here? Sonny hugs her, and they kiss passionately. He goes and makes some phone calls. It's a couple hours later, and the guests are arriving. Lois and Robin are upstairs helping Brenda with her dress.(Sonny pulled some strings and got her one on short notice.) Ned and Jason are downstairs letting the guests inside. Lucy, Kevin, the Spencers, Mac, Felicia, and her girls are there already. Maxie is supervising Lulu, Brooke, and Georgie. Laura is helping Sonny get Sarah dressed. Lila, Edward, and Emily arriev followed by Mike and Mary. Mike heads upstairs to check on the nervous couple. ~~In Brenda's room~~ Mike knocks. M: May I come in? B: Mike! How's Sonny? M: I just checked on him. He's getting Sarah dressed. B: (nervous) Does he need help? Maybe I should check on him? L&R: NO! L: You can't see him before the wedding. It's bad luck. M: Don't worry sweetheart. Laura is helping him. B: Okay. M: I'll be back in a little while. You need to get dressed. B: Thanks, Mike. M: No problem. Mike goes downstairs and finds Mary talking to Joe, Grace, Frank, and Julie. M: Hi guys. All: Hi. F: How's your son doing? M: Nervous. Thanks for coming guys. I really want you to meet Sonny. Mike notices Joe glance at the door. He's staring at Karen, Gina, and Jagger, who just walked in. J (Jason): Hi Gina. G: Hi Jason. I don't know if you remember Karen and Jagger? J: I met Karen at the Nurses' Ball, but I don't remember Jagger. G: Well, this is my brother. J: Your brother? You must be Stone's brother too. I've heard a lot about you from Robin. Just then, Robin comes down the stairs and tells Mike that Brenda is ready. She notices Jagger. R: Jagger! JC (Jagger): Hey Robin! They hug. R: When did you get here? JC: A couple weeks ago. Karen and I had some things to work through so I came back. R: Are you staying? JC: Yes. I transferred to the PCPD. Bren doesn't know I'm back yet, so this will be a surprise. Laura comes down the stairs with Sarah, and everyone goes to see the baby. Not many people knew about the baby so, it was a little shocking. Lois comes down the stairs and says that everything's ready to go. They all take their seats. Lois and Robin head back upstairs. Sonny comes down and stands by the priest. The music starts.Continued
