In Another Life

Chapter One: Prelude

Spinelli typed away at his laptop as he listened to the wind blow alittle more than it should. He had a feeling just by listening that they were going to end up having a storm like they always do. He stepped away from his laptop walking to his door, opening it he called for his nanny

"Miss Lenia, can you come here a second?"

"Yes Sir On My Way." The nanny came straight to him

"You need something Mr. Spinelli?"

"Can you check on the girls and make sure they aren't outside. It seems we may be getting another storm tonight."

"Certainly Sir." The nanny nodded walking off to leave him alone.

He knew it was time for the mail to run so he walked outside to see if he had gotten anything about his book in the mail. As he was flipping through his mail he came across a letter from Port Charles. He opened it up reading it.

Dear Mr. Spinelli,

We would like to invite you to the tenth anniversary port charles reunion. If you can make it please call us and let us know.So we would be able to hold your seat.

Sincerely,

PCU Staff Resident

Julia Monroe

Wow, he never figured they would know to send the letter here of all places. He hadn't been back to Port Charles since he left after Micheal been shot. He did miss the place though and missed the people that were there. He wondered if Jason and the others still resided there as well. He thought this might be a good idea to attend this reunion so he hurried back inside to make the phone call. As he was entering he was ransacked by his two daughters. They were idential twins, it was hard even for him to sometimes tell them apart. They were both eight years old and stood to his side. They had long flowing brownish blonde hair and the most beautiful blue eyes he had ever seen.

"Daddy! Daddy!" They both said hugging him

"What is it girls? Were you outside like I told you not to be?"

"No, we were actually upstairs and we found this." one of the girls handing him a picture of Maxie. Man he missed her after all these years. He left without saying goodbye to her but he knew in his heart she would be fine. He needed to find his inner peace as much as she did, and he knew he wouldn't be able to do that there in Port Charles.

"Who is that girl daddy? That doesn't look like mommy!"

"No girls, it isn't mommy, it is a dear old friend that i used to know along time ago."

"What's her name?"

"Come here and I'll tell you." Spinelli went into the living area of their house sitting down in one of the chairs he motioned for both girls to come sit on his lap. They happily walked over and did just that.

"They girl in this picture, her name is Maxie Jones."

"She has my name daddy."

"Yes she does sweetie." Spinelli kissed Maxie's forehead softly

"She looks very pretty daddy."

"She was, Her sister was a dear friend of mine, and daddy used to have a not so good life before he met your mommy."

"Was the girl a bad woman?"

"No sweetie, she was just the opposite. She showed your daddy that life is so important and you have to life it to the fulliest."

"What was her sister's name daddy?"

"Her sister's name was Georgiana."

"That is my name also."

"Mhmm."

"You named us after them, why daddy?"

"Shortly after you two were born, you know your mother passed on. She knew how close I was to these two girls and she told me that her last wish was for me to name you after them."

"She wanted that?"

"Mhmm. She said that her knowing that I would always have something special even though she couldn't be around anymore."

The girls snuggled up to him "I have my two girls that i love the most now what could be more special than that?"

"Ice cream!!"

Spinelli laughed "okay only alittle bit and soon after it's bedtime for both."

"YaY!!" They both kissed his cheek and got up to go into the kitchen to get some ice cream. Spinelli sat there looking down at the picture reminiscing about the times he spent with Maxie.
