Following a brief marriage of convenience with Jasper "Jax" Jacks (Ingo Rademacher) and a failed romance with Quartermaine heir Ned Ashton (Wally Kurth), Alexis Davis found herself working as the go-to attorney for Sonny Corinthos' mob organization after they bonded over their mutual affection for troubled teen Zander Smith (via Soaps in Depth). An expert at legal maneuvering, Alexis was able to get Sonny and his enforcer Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) out of whatever trouble they found themselves in.
In 2002, Alexis and Sonny's bond grew deeper when she convinced him not to put out a hit on his enemy AJ Quartermaine, who had run off and eloped with his sister. That night, the pair fell into bed together, and their one-night stand resulted in a pregnancy. Ned helped Alexis desperately try to hide the paternity of her daughter from Sonny, especially after he inadvertently caused the death of her sister Kristina Cassadine. However, the truth eventually came out when baby Kristina (named after her late aunt) was diagnosed with leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant, per Soap Central.
Though Alexis never wanted her child to be anywhere near Sonny's dangerous lifestyle of bodyguards, shoot-outs, and warehouse explosions, there was no keeping the kingpin away from his flesh and blood. Over the years, Alexis and Sonny have butted heads many times regarding their daughter, causing Kristina to grow up as a daddy's girl with a tumultuous relationship with her mother. The one thing that Sonny and Alexis can always agree on, though, is their unconditional love for their child.
