**The continuous of All This Time. I hope everyone likes it and enjoy how I explained some details that the show skipped. This took more time than I had planned since I was sick the past week and still having to take care of my two girls and husband. I am thankful for the feedback. The next chapter will be the end hopefully and the reunited Nathan and Maxie.**
Chapter Two
"Nathan, I might have a way for you and Maxie being together tonight. It might not be where you had planned, but at least you will be together," Lulu explained. "I have to go for right now, but I will be back. Don't do anything drastic while I am gone."
"Yes, ma'am," Nathan stated enjoying the bossy Lulu and curious on what Lulu was up to.
As Lulu left he put his head back against the couch closing his eyes. He sighed and wished everything would turn out tonight. He couldn't help himself he had to hear her voice again. He grabbed his cell phone and hit the number one contact on it.
"Hi, there stranger," she answered.
"Hi," he replied back. "Lulu is trying to figure out a way to get us together tonight."
"Spinelli is doing the same thing. We have some good friends, don't we," she asked.
"Yes, we do. I miss you," Nathan stated. "I just want to hold you again like I did in the hospital."
"I miss you too. I know when I came here to see Georgie that this wasn't in the plans. I'm sorry this happened."
"It's not your fault, Maxie. None, of this is your fault. I am happy that you were able to spend Christmas with Georgie. Hopefully next year the three of us can spend it together."
"I would like that," Maxie responded.
"I don't care if we spend New Year's in Portland as long as we are together," Nathan told Maxie.
"That wasn't the plan. Our plan was to spend it together at our apartment; the anniversary of the day we met."
"When has anything gone as planned when it comes to us," Nathan explained.
"I'm not giving up, Nathan. We are going to be together in Port Charles even if I have to hitch a ride on company jet."
"I will see you soon, Maxie. Lulu is trying to get my attention," Nathan stated. "Maybe it's good news."
"That's our Lulu!"
"I will see you in a few hours, Maxie."
"See you soon."
Nathan disconnected the call and looked over at Lulu who was talking on her cell phone. He was hoping Lulu had come through; because the only other possibility is mother and not the one that gave birth to him.
"We will be there in fifteen minutes," Lulu said before hanging up the call. "I told Maxie that I would make sure you would rest, but you are coming with me to ELQ."
"What? Why?"
"We are going to meet with Michael and hopefully he will let us borrow the ELQ jet."
"Let's go. I'll do anything to be with Maxie tonight."
"I'll hold you to that."
Ten minutes later Lulu and Nathan were sitting in Michael's office. Michael had become CEO of ELQ months ago and at times he had some good things in Port Charles.
"I know we have had our differences as of late, but I am hoping you can help us," Lulu explained. "We need to borrow the ELQ jet."
"And what would you do for me," Michael stated. "It costs money to fuel the jet and I can't let anyone use it."
"Michael, you are my cousin's son, and my husband's brother. I know you have disowned your mother and changed your name to Quartermaine, but you are still Dante's brother."
"What does that do for me?"
"What do you need," Nathan interrupted. "Do you need an assistant? Do you need a new business venture? What do you need? I could get you the money for the jet."
"Where is the jet going," Michael questioned.
"Portland, Oregon to pick up Maxie and bring her back to Port Charles before midnight," Lulu explained. "You will be doing me a favor and I can see what I can do about Tracy and my father staying away from ELQ."
"I want more than that. I need a personal assistant, I am planning on opening a clinic in my father's name and I need someone to help me with the details."
"I can't leave Rocco, I have missed so much being kidnapped the past year," Lulu explained.
"Maxie needs a job," Nathan interrupted. "If you get Maxie here by midnight, she will work for you."
"Nathan, you might want to talk to her about this before you lend her out," Lulu warned.
"I know she wants to start working again and ELQ is right up her alley," Nathan said. "And if she doesn't like it; well she can blame me for it."
"It's your life," Lulu retorted.
"Do we have a deal," Michael wondered reaching out his hand to seal the deal.
"Before midnight," Nathan demanded shaking the young man's hand.
"Understood," Michael replied. He sat down picked up the phone on his desk. "Charles, get the jet fueled and ready."
Lulu looked over at Nathan and gave him thumbs up. It was finally cleared; her best friend would be back in Port Charles for her anniversary with Nathan.
