Stolen Chances

Chapter One: The Call

Maxie kept tossing and turning in the bed. She opened her eyes to the darkness that surrounded her. She turned her head and seen Spinelli was still dead to the world sleeping. She sighed abit just laying there. "Ugh, what is wrong with me? Why can't I just go to sleep!" She layed her arm on spinelli's back for comfort. Spinelli felt her hand on his back. He turned over waking up looking at maxie

"You okay?"

"No I can't sleep."

"Something wrong?"

"I dunno.I have been trying to go to sleep for the past hour and can't."

Even though she could only see parts of Spinelli's face she could tell he had a smirk on his face. Spinelli wrapped his arms around her pulling her to him in a hug. Maxie layed her head on his chest

"Spinelli?"

"yeah maxie"

"promise me you will never leave me!"

Spinelli could hear the desperation tone in her voice. He knew in his heart he couldn't make that kind of promise but he wanted to calm maxie down so he lied "I promise!"

Maxie looked at him " Don't promise if you don't mean it!"

"What makes you think I don't mean it maxie?"

"You know why Spinelli. You work for Jason and Sonny. There is danger everyday. I have already lost 3, well 4 if you consider my mother. I don't want to lose you."

Spinelli looked into Maxie's eyes "I promise you that I will do everything in my power most beautiful one to make sure the jackal is around to love you every moment of everyday."

Maxie smiled punching him playfully "You better."

"Owww!! what was that for?" Spinelli smiled glad to know that maxie was cheering up.

"I love you spinelli, never thought I would but strange things happen for a reason."

"You got that right."

As they layed there holding on to each other the spinelli's phone started going off.

"Ugh not now! Don't answer it Spinelli."

Spinelli lets one arm go free off of maxie to grab the phone

" I have too,it might be stone cold."

"At this hour! Ugh!" Maxie layed her head back down on his chest listening.

"Hello the jackal here."

Maxie wishes he would quit saying that. It had been three years to the day and now she is happly married to Spinelli. She never in her wildest dreams thought she could love someone so completely opposite of her, but as they began to work together that year to find georgie's and Coop's killer they bonded. She was in some way greatful to those two, she misses them but she knows that if tragedy hadn't of happened she never would have fell in love with spinelli.

"Okay Stone Cold, Give me a minute and I'll be right there." Spinelli hung up his phone.

Maxie raised up looking mad "Your leaving? What the hell Spinelli?"

Spinelli sighed rubbing the side of maxie's face "Stone Cold needs to meet with me to go over survillence tapes of johnny zaccarra's house."

"Couldn't this wait till morning?"

"No he said it was very urgent.I promise I will be back in no time."

Spinelli kisses her gently getting up from the bed he starts to put on his clothes. Maxie flings herself back onto the bed

"Ughhhhh! Why me! Why do I have to love the men that have such dangerous lives."

Spinelli turned walking over to maxie leaning over he bends down to where they are inches apart from each others face

"Because I am sexy isn't it?"

Maxie couldn't help but laugh "Baby you know your sexy in your own unique way that is why I love you. Please be careful and come back home to me."

Spinelli kisses her on the lips "I love you maxie. I'll see you before you know it."

Maxie kisses him back "You better." Spinelli grabs his computer bag and heads out the door.
