The snow was falling, and he felt the cold to his bones, even though it was warmer then he thought it was. It was probably because he was here, paying respects he should've paid five years ago. He put the flowers down next to the gravestone and stepped back, taking it all in, kicking himself for being the man he was and not being the father he should've been.

Frisco Jones hated that he missed his youngest daughter's entire life. He missed all her accomplishments academically, her first love and young marriage. He hadn't been the one to try and scare Dillon Quartermaine away, it had been Mac. He'd let Mac take over, while he went off trying to save the world. To make it a better place for his girls.

"She missed you." Her voice surprised him, he thought he was all alone before he turned and was even more surprised when he saw who it was.

"Georgie?" He rubbed his forehead and looked at her, great he was getting haunted and about to be told what a crappy father he'd been.

She rubbed her gloved hands together to ward off whatever chill they were getting as she took a few steps, "Yeah, glad to know you brought flowers." She looked down at the holiday arrangement he must've picked up at the airport.

"So is this where you show me all the Christmases I missed with you girls?" Frisco looked at her, wanting to reach out but knowing if she wasn't real it would break his heart.

"No." She smiled, "Its me, really, fully, flesh and bones, me."

"Okay. Wait. What?" Frisco reached out and touched her cheek, she was real. More real then she had ever been before to him.

Georgie bent down and wiped the snow away from her name, "I come back to town every Christmas to see if Maxie or Dillon place flowers on my grave. It's a really sick tradition but its all mine. Even Spinelli comes, alone, on Christmas Night at 9:23 like clock work."

Frisco crouched down next to his daughter, "Georgie, how are you alive?"

"The Agency can do wonders." She looked at him, "About a week before Logan tried to strangle me I had a meeting with agents from the WSB. I got recruited. When the attack was made on my life, they used that as a way I could be undercover."

Frisco stood up, kicking the snow, "And they didn't think to tell me you were alive?"

"Dad, what good would it have done?" She looked up at the sky, enjoying the weird warmth that came with a snow fall.

"I could see you! You wouldn't live in this secret world." He was trying not to cry, "I could be the father, I should've been to you."

She smiled and laughed a little, "You didn't ask to have me. But Dad, you've always been one of my hero's." She looked back at the stone, "I don't know if I would've joined the WSB if you hadn't been my father."

"Just lay on the guilt trip Georgie!" Frisco looked at her, "Come here."

She took a step forward feeling him wrap his arms around her, holding on to dear life. Afraid that she would vanish into thin air if he wasn't careful. "Dad, let me breath."

"Does anyone outside of the Agency know you're alive?" He released her but kept her close.

She massaged her left ring finger through her glove, "One person."

"Who?" Frisco watched the dreamy look float over her.

"My ex-husband, Dillon. He found out last spring." She took a few steps away from her grave, "I was working a case in Canada, and Dillon was shooting a movie. We were in the same hotel and we got stuck in an elevator together one night. I could only hide behind a magazine for so long and not talk to him for so long, ya know."

"Are you two rekindled?" Frisco didn't really know how to ask that kind of question.

"We have a chance to be." Georgie looked towards the street lights that had just come on. "See, I have a chance to leave the agency. If I take it, Dillon and I have a real grown up chance this time."

"Is that what you want?"

Georgie stood as straight and as tall as she could as she looked at her father, "If you could go back and take a chance to be in mine and Maxie's lives more, would you?"

"I wish that every day." Frisco confessed.

"So, I'm going to take this chance and have a real life with Dillon." She looked over at her name in the stone, "And if things don't work out with him, so be it. I'll have given it a full grown up try and I'll know I'll always love him but obviously someone else is meant for me."

"Wow, are you sure you're my kid?" Frisco couldn't believe how mature and honest she was about her future.

"Yeah, I've worked with Robert Scorpio a couple of times and he always makes some comment about how I am definitely you're girl."

"I wish I had been that smart regarding you're mother." Frisco confessed, "Do you know where she is these days?"

Georgie shook her head, "Maybe, Maxie knows but we always argued about that. I was convinced Mom was off on a mission with you, saving the world."

Frisco saw the pain that his daughter had carried for years regarding both her parents being missing from her life. "I should go find Mac, and thank him."

"For what?"

"For raising my daughters right."

"Maybe you should talk to Maxie first. She always had a way of getting herself into trouble."

"Whose talking about me?" Maxie stood just a few feet away, carrying a bouquet of flowers, all she could see in the low light and snow were the backs of these people at her sisters grave.

Frisco turned around first, taking in the sight of his other daughter all grown up and looking very pregnant. "Maxie."

"Daddy?" Maxie ran to her father and hugged him before she saw who he was with. Then she pulled away and looked at her. "Who are you? And why do you look like my sister?"

"Maxie, just stay calm and listen to me, okay?" Georgie pleaded.

"Georgie?" Was all Maxie could say before she reached out and hugged her sister as a way of making sure she was real.

"I missed you Maxie." Georgie felt the tears in her eyes and her voice as she felt her sisters embrace once again.

"How are you real?" Maxie was crying, trying to process the information she was taking in.

"Logan didn't kill me." Georgie confessed. "I got recruited by the WSB and I've been very deep undercover. So deep, Dad didn't know I was alive until tonight."

Maxie pulled away from her sister, "This is the best Christmas Eve ever!"

Georgie smiled, "What is going on with this." She pointed to Maxie's belly.

"It's a little girl, she's due on New Years Eve." Maxie rubbed her belly, "We're going to name her Georgie Jean, we couldn't pick between the two people who meant the most to me in my life."

Georgie wiped the tears from her sisters eyes, "Who are you with?"

"Johnny Zacchara." Maxie showed her sister her hand, "We've been married for two years."

"His father was a mad man!" Georgie reminded her.

Maxie tilted her head to the side, "How could I forget. Oh Georgie, I'm just glad that you're alive."

Georgie felt her sisters embrace once more before she felt her sister fall to the snowy ground.

"What the hell?" Frisco quickly took his oldest daughter's pulse, and that's when he saw the hospital bracelet. "Would she be crazy enough to leave the hospital, in a snow storm, just go to your grave?"

A panic ripped through Georgie, "Yeah, she would. Just pick her up, we've got to get her back to the hospital."

Frisco did as his daughter told him, carrying Maxie towards his car. "Has she done something like this before?" he called out.

"Yeah." Georgie made sure Maxie hadn't dropped anything on the ground before catching up, "When that terrible virus came through town, the one that killed Uncle Tony, Maxie thought she was going to die. She didn't want to die in the hospital, so she snuck out to BJ's grave so she could be with BJ."

Frisco nodded as he started the engine, "Lets hope this isn't something like that."

Georgie looked to the backseat at her older sister, hoping that Maxie wasn't dying and that her sister was basically fine but wouldn't pass up the chance to keep up a tradition of wishing her thought to be dead sister Merry Christmas.

Frisco stopped the car just by the ER doors and quickly grabbed Maxie before he and Georgie were inside trying to get a doctor. "Please! My daughter collapsed and she has a hospital bracelet on!" Frisco called out, just as Dr. Julian came running over.

Leo looked at Maxie's unconscious body, "I told her to stay in bed. She never wants to listen. Follow me."

They went into a nearby cubicle, "Where did you find her?"

"At the cemetery, she was visiting a family members grave." Frisco announced.

"Georgie." Was all Leo said as he checked Maxie's vitals before giving the nurse instructions to prepare a shot.

"She's going to be fine, it must've been too emotional for her. I told her to wait until she has all her strength after her daughter is born, but she refuses to listen." Leo told Frisco as he gave her the shot before looking up at the woman with Frisco. "Do I know you?"

Georgie shook her head, the last time she'd seen him, Maxie had been sick with a staph infection.

A few moments later Maxie opened her eyes and saw Leo first, "It was just a dream, wasn't it? I didn't see my father or my sister, did I?"

Leo suddenly realized why Georgie looked familiar, from the picture Maxie had by her bed that Johnny had brought her, "Oh you did, but I think the excitement was too much for you. Now can you stay in bed or not?"

Maxie looked over, seeing her father and sister, "I can stay in bed, I promise Dr. Julian."

"Great, we'll have you sent back up to your room in just a little bit. I'll let Johnny know you're down here. He's been going crazy wondering where you were."

"Thank you Doctor." Frisco followed Leo out into the hallway, "Is she really going to be fine?"

Leo nodded, "Yeah, with her heart and the stress its been under in the past, we just wanted to keep an eye on her in the last few weeks of the pregnancy to make sure she was okay."

"Epiphany said that Maxie was down here, is she okay Dr. Julian?" Johnny didn't look twice at Frisco.

"Yeah, she's fine. She went to Georgie's grave."

Johnny shook his head, "I told her, we could do that after Georgie Jean is born."

Leo smiled, "Yeah, well thank her father here for bringing her in."

Johnny looked at Frisco, "Frisco Jones?"

"The one and only." He studied Johnny, he was obviously a kid with problems, but something about him made Maxie love him, love him enough to have a baby with.

"Its an honor to finally meet you." He reached out to shake his father-in-laws hand, "I just wish it was under better circumstances. Maxie's very strong willed."

"Just like her mother." Frisco chuckled, "Before you go in there, you need to know something."

"What?" Panic flashed over Johnny.

"Her sister is with her."

"Georgie's spirit is always with Maxie."

Frisco shook his head, "No, I mean Georgie is alive and with her sister."

"That's impossible."

"No, not once you hear the story but its up to Georgie to tell you." Frisco watched as Johnny went into the cubicle, kissed Maxie's forehead and reintroduced himself to Georgie.

Of all his Christmas wishes, he never thought spending Christmas Eve with both Maxie and Georgie would ever come true. Yet here he was, watching his oldest daughter with her husband, and his youngest daughter with them. Bonding after a five year separation. This was the best present he could ask for, now he could only hope that they would let him into their lives now that he was retiring from the WSB. Maybe he and Georgie could start a security business together, or he could convince Mac to let him work for the PCPD in some way, maybe just as a consultant.

The thing Frisco Jones knew the best at this moment was he was glad he came home for Christmas. Also that from now on both his daughters could count on him.

Georgie watched her sister and brother-in-law, an unexpected change then what she'd known when she'd faked her death and joined the WSB, spending her past Christmases watching her sister, Dillon and Spinelli never clued her into these details. But she was glad this year had been full of surprises, happy ones. Including finding her father finally grieving for her. At the start of the night she had to ask herself if she could really give up her life of trying to save the world, but right now she knew she could. She had missed this, being with her sister and living as normal a life as she could. Later, she would go see Dillon and maybe they could work things out. Maybe her father would stick around town and they could be the family they'd been meant to be earlier.

Its amazing what happens when you come home for Christmas. You sometimes find out that best presents are the ones you have everyday of your life, but take for granted; like an older sister who loves you more then life itself, and who you love just as much.

"I need to go Maxie. I have someone I need to talk to before its too late."

Maxie squeezed her sisters hand, "Georgie, promise me you're home."

"I'm home. You won't ever get rid of me again."
