new three parter enjoy and please review.

She'd been gone for several months, she was only home to see Robin and her baby. She had planned on getting in and out of town quick enough not to be spotted by everyone. Especially him. When she saw him at Wyndoms; why he was he even there, she scurried to the other side of the store hoping to hide out.

He was shocked when he saw her. He hadn't seen her since she left, hell he had barley talked to her since then. Things hadn't been the same since that night they shared, the night she made all his dreams come true, and then broke his heart. They had remained friends, that's what she wanted, she didn't want their encounter to ruin their friendship, and he didn't want to lose her. He did everything in his power to just remain friends, but it was hard, when she got transferred to Manhattan it made things a little easier.

"Maximista," he said, she jumped at the sound of her name and turned around.

"Spinelli," she sighed, she was hoping she didn't see him when she made this quick trip home.

His jaw dropped and he covered his mouth in disbelief, "Are you?"

She took a deep breath, bit her lip and nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I was going to, I just didn't know how."

A new found confidence came over him, "I don't know Maxie, how about, hey Spinelli I'm pregnant."

"Spinelli."

"Or hey congratulations you're going to be a dad."

"Spinelli."

"God, why didn't you just tell me? Don't you think I deserve to know something like this?"

She stared back at him, she knew she was about to break his heart again, "Spinelli, it's not yours."

"Oh. Well then I guess congratulations are in order."

"Okay," she half smiled.

"Where's the lucky man who has won the heart, body, and soul of the fair Maximista?"

"No such guy, Spinelli."

"Oh. Wait. What?"

"Look, he's not in the picture, okay."

"He left you? I'll track him down. Jackal PI to the rescue."



"That's sweet, but don't bother, he doesn't even know."

"You mean you have yet to tell him."

She shook her head.

"Maxie he deserves to know."

"Look, don't be disappointed in me."

"I could never be disappointed in you. You are my dearest friend."

"Really? What about Jason?"

"Ah, Stone Cold and I have a different bond."

"You so have a bro-mance."

"Excuse me?"

"Come on, you know like Ben Afflack and Matt Damon."

"I've always pictured us more like Goose and Maverick. Or me being the boy wonder to his Batman."

"Or Gilligan and the Skipper," she laughed

"Nice to see that doesn't affect your quick wit. If I'm Gilligan does that make you Mary Ann or Ginger?"

"I think this may make me more of a Ginger than a Mary Ann."

"Anyway back to that. Is you growing blossom the reason I would be disappointed in you?"

"No. At least that's not what I was thinking."

"You can just tell me, you know. Feel free to speak freely."

"Spinelli, you're the best, but don't worry about it. Forget I said anything."

"Not possible. You haven't told your baby's father that he's going to be well a father, why is that? Is that what you think will disappoint me?"

"Look, he was a random hookup. I really don't want to talk about it. I got drunk on a business trip and wound up knocked up okay."

"The Jackal was not trying to push the issue. I am not disappointed by the way, like I said I could never be disappointed in you; beside a wonderful gift was given to you because of said hookup."

"Stop, you're being too nice about this."

"May I please finish?"



"Proceed."

"As I was saying. Tell me his name, I'll find him, he should know. Not just because he deserves to know, but he needs to take responsibility for the bun he put in your oven."

"Did you really just say that?"

"Fine, I can talk as average people do. Tell me his name Maxie, I'll hunt him down and make him take care of this kid. He knocked you up and should have to pay for it."

"Spinelli chill. I'll track him down. Mac's working on it. I really don't see why he even has to know though."

"Because he's going to be a father and you deserve to be taken care of."

"I can take care of myself and my baby. Besides Mac said he'd help, he's been really understanding."

"The Jackal is always at your service."

"Spinelli, I said I didn't really want to track him down."

"I was not referring to finding," he paused, "I was offering you any kind of assistance, okay. With tracking down this guy, with the pregnancy, with the baby whatever. I mean we're friends, I know you don't live here anymore and that we haven't really talked since, well."

She stopped him right there, threw her arms around him, "Thanks. Really if I need you I'll let you know, but I have to get to Robin's. I'll call you later."

"Maybe we can talk over coffee?"

"No coffee for me, but I'll eat your chocolate chocolate chip muffin if you want to get breakfast with me tomorrow for old time's sake?"

"I would be my pleasure. Coffeehouse at 9?"

"Make it 9:30 and I'll be there," she kissed him on the check and walked back to the baby department.

He was still in shock. He had no idea why he was at Wyndoms anymore, but he knew what he had to do; he had to talk to the Commissioner.

He rushed into the police station making all kinds of racket. "I need to speak with the Commissioner. Where's Commissioner Scorpio. I need him immediately."

"What the hell is going on in here," Mac questioned entering from the hallway.

"The Jackal must speak with you immediately Commissioner Sir."

"Spinelli I don't have time to deal with you and whatever it is you think you have to talk to me about."



"It's about your daughter sir."

"Maxie," Mac said worried, "Is she okay?"

"Her health seems to be okay, but that's not what I want to speak to you about. I think I can help with another matter."

"I have no clue what you are rambling on about, but I have work to do."

"I saw her this afternoon sir, she said you were looking into something for her, I was just offering my assistance. I have a feeling I could obtain information on the man in question faster than you."

"The PCPD does not need the help of a mob hacker," Mac yelled, "get your ass in my office now."

Confused Spinelli made his way to the Commissioner's office, per Mac's request.

"Set down."

"Did I do something wrong sir? What kind of trouble am I in?"

"Look you're not in any trouble. I didn't know she told you. As much as this pains me to say, I think I may need your help."

"For Maxie's sake right?"

"For the sake of her and her baby. That bastards going to pay for taking advantage of my daughter and he's going to step up and do something about this baby."

"Maxie says she doesn't want his help. She doesn't want him to get involved."

"I still need to find him. She needs to tell him, if only to cover all her bases down the road."

"I don't know anything about this man sir, she would not even tell me his name. She does not want me to get involve; I came to you because I thought maybe I could convince you to give me his name. I wanted to track him down and get him to take some sort of responsibility for his baby."

"She said the only thing she knows is his name."

"A name is a lot to go on sir."

"I don't want to know how you found him when you do. I just want you to get it done."

"Yes sir, Commissioner sir. Can I have his name please?'

"Tanner Henderson."

"Jackal PI is on the case," he said under his breath leaving Mac's office, he was off the find the father of the baby of the women he loved.
