Thank you for all the views, comments and follows they mean a lot. I am glad people are interested in my unorthodox pairing and it motivates me to write more chapters in an orderly fashion. Maxie is now home and she has two months before the judge will revisit her case concerning her child. I rolled my eyes at the verdict and if anything like this happened in real life I would launch a campaign to have a judge like that lose his robe. The judge showed extreme bias in his ruling. I know this is the soap world but they are depicting a state that follows the constitution of the state of New York which I know like the back of my hand because I recently moved from there back to my original home.

I get the characters being exaggerated forms of ourselves but the judge didn't follow the letter of the law and a lot of the things allowed into the courtroom was just spectacle. He didn't cite any case law or justify his reasoning using the law to strip Maxie of her parental rights (temporarily) which are next to impossible for persons who haven't actually had anytime to establish themselves in a parental capacity. Narcissists are not barred from being parents because they are narcissists. If they warrant social services intervention than they will be assessed for their parenting skills. Maxie's past doesn't warrant the state getting into her business as a mother. Only thing she really did that was horrible was helping Lucky fuel his drug addiction. It showed a depraived indifference but she obviously learned from that.

Everything else Lulu threw at her in court should have no bearing on her capacity to be a good mother to her child. I only used the narcissist as an example I don't think Maxie is a true narcissist. I think she only seems vapid and into herself because people always expect her to be and she assumes the role laid out for her because she does what is expected of her. She has obvious problems with self-esteem issues that goes back to when her uncle Tony gave her BJ's heart and feeling abandoned by her parents and the death of Georgie. She has never really dealt with any of those things and they are what drive her into making rash decisions when she feels like she will lose someone or something. I honestly love Maxie to pieces because only people that have always been in her corner have been Mac, Robin, and Georgie.

I didn't know I had to get that stuff off my chest until now. I know that this was a bit long but I give myself some leeway because this is how I feel on the matter and this story belongs to me. I just want people to know this is how I see Maxie and can find the rationale behind some of her less than stellar moments. In this story there will be drama and verbal fighting but never will I write a Maxie that is perpetually losing like the show does. Not to say everything will go Maxie's way but Maxie won't be thinking in an immature manner she will think like her age which is supposed to be 27. My rambling is done for now. I would like to get people's take on the character of Maxie even if they don't agree with my assessment. I like to hear what people think of her. While she isn't my favorite character on GH she is someone I always root for because I like her. Anyways I guess I should get started on the story huh? Anyways all mistakes are on my own and comments are fervently welcome.

I decide I am going to sleep at my parents house instead of my apartment because I am tired and they have set up a crib for Sofia. Right about now I could use the help. I already told Nathan the guy subletting my apartment I would be back and that he had to find new accommodations because I will be having my children live there. He was fine with it and he would have to be anyways he is only subletting so its not like he really has any choice in the matter. I don't know why but come to think of it Britt was right he looks so familiar but I don't know what it is. I have never met him before but it feels like I have seen him. Maybe he just reminds me of someone I have seen in passing.

When I get to my old room I am glad to see a crib already set up in there. I don't want Sofia to be far just in case she needs to eat or starts crying in the night. If she wasn't in the same room it would take longer to get to her which means longer crying which in turn means I could wake up my mom and Mac. I am grateful for my parents letting us stay here but I can't wait to get back to my apartment. Tomorrow I have to go to a baby store and order a whole bunch of stuff. I wonder if I can do an express order. I probably can but it will cost a boatload of money but who cares. I am going to need two of everything for Fia and Georgie. Aww I can feel it in my bones, the excitement of getting baby things makes it all the more real that this is really happening. I am a mom and I can't wait for the adeventure of motherhood to really start they only thing that would make it complete is if Georgie was here with me too.

I freshen up Sofia for bed and it takes some time to get her acquainted with this new room and I will have to do it again when I get back to my apartment. When I am done getting Sofia into her onsie for sleeping I feel beat. I am not up for talking with my parents. I am so tired from the long flight and being with Sofia I just want to go to bed. I decide that a hot shower well make me relax into my sleep better. The hot water hitting my skin feels so good. I feel the tension in my muscles melting away. Once I am done I get into my pajamas and as I get in my bed I am pestered with thoughts of how Dante is doing. How is Lulu doing? How is their marriage? Are they trying for another baby or settling their issues before thinking about becoming parents.

They obviously can't adopt even if Lulu didn't lie on her adoption applications it would be next to impossible for her to qualify. Dante could qualify but Lulu not so much. She has been institutionalized and has a family history of mental illness so that would be a big red flag. I hope she has enough eggs left to maybe try again. I shouldn't feel guilt over the miscarriage it happens all the time even Dante said it himself. It just doesn't feel that way. Lulu said I killed her baby and sometimes I feel like I did. I felt so guilty I am almost gave my baby away as penance. I couldn't see how flawed my logic was. My baby shouldn't have been an option especially without Spinelli consent.

I think of Spinelli and I just hate myself for putting him through all of this. He and Georgie were just innocent bystanders in this and I put him through the wringer. If I can't hold my little girl right now there is no other person I would rather have taking care of her. Family is important to Spinelli especially after losing his grandmother and I never really took account for any of that. He deserves to have his rightful family too. He deserves to love his daughter and it wasn't up to me to decide that. He gives me more than I deserve because I still have his friendship and that means a lot to me because I honestly know I don't deserve it. I start to drift thinking of the future and raising my girls together and playdates with Danny and Ben. The excitement of the future brings me to the land of dreams and I go towards it with an open mind.

I wake up around 8 with no alarm needed its a wonder how my body can function without an alarm clock and coffee. Well less coffee than I did when I was working for Connie/Kate. Its so weird that she is dead now but even worse that she was murdered and they say AJ did it. For some reason I can't believe that about AJ. I never really saw him as a killer. I always felt like he was just the black sheep of his family kind of like me. Anything he does he probably felt like it didn't matter. He was always trying to be beyond his father's name but I think that it crushed him. Now its so weird to see all of Dr. Quartermaine's children are dead. I couldn't imagine a world as a childless mother. Even though I haven't been a mother for very long I don't know how to exist without that identity now. I get ready for the day and I am surprised Sofia has slept through all of it but she could just be tired from the long flights. She usually senses when I am awake but I did put her back to sleep around 4 am after I fed her.

I gently wake her up and and freshen her up and into a beautiful purple onsie dress. I get all of her essentials for the day and I descend to the kitchen so I can make a bottle for her. I put her in a high chair and she is taking in the kitchen while I prepare her bottle. I make sure its not too hot for her. Meal time is her favorite time of the day. She always gets super happy when she knows its meal time. Who knew formula could taste so good? I pack some baby bottles of water. I am starting to introduce Sofia too pureed fruits and veggies. She has an appreciation for food maybe she will be critiquing my food later in life. I better stock up on cook books. I hold her while feeding her I realize I have a lot to do today. I wonder should I do this by myself or bring someone with me. I don't want to bring in my mom because I feel it will be kind of awkward to have my mother come with me looking at stuff for my child. I can feel that I might get miffed because seeing my mother getting excited about the children thing makes me remember she wasn't around a lot when Georgie and I needed her. I am done with trying to blame her but I am also not going to put myself through that just to acquiese her. I made a promise myself I am not going to put someone else feelings above my own. That is always what gets me in perdicaments that always seem idiotic after I do them. I decide I should text Sam she has Danny maybe she is available.

Hey Sam, you know I am back in town and I was wondering if you could accompany me while I go baby shopping since you have a baby and all. -Maxie

Hey Maxie, normally I would love to spend time with you especially since I haven't seen you for months but since Danny has been feeling much better as of late I am delving back into my P.I. Business. Only light stuff for now but I caught two cases and there is a rush on it from my clients. I am free on thursday though so if you want to hang let me know we can go to the park and do "normal" people stuff lol. -Sam

Okay I will hold you too Thursday though! I hope you solve the cases. Give Danny a kiss for me. -Maxie

I will I promise. -Sam

There is only one other option I have because I am running low on the friends department. I don't know if I could ever be friends with Lulu not after all that drama with the court case. I may have been wrong for duping Lulu and Dante but I will never forget her trying to use Robin's death to hurt me but the worse part is she had no remorse even Dante and Alexis at least looked guilty for doing it. Alexis doesn't really have a choice because she was acting as a lawyer not as herself so its no use for me griping her but Lulu knew all too well my feelings on the subject. I deicde I should text Britt. We are friends now and she has a new baby too. She can definitely give me pointers on what she prefers amongst baby products.

Hey Britt I was wondering if you were free today? -Maxie

Maxie! Yeah I am free well as free as I can be because I am with Ben. I just dropped off Spencer at school what's up? -Britt

I was wondering if you wanted to help me while I go baby shopping. I am going to need a lot of stuff for my apartment and get it baby proofed and all that I need help. I don't really want to ask my mom because she was in and out of my life it would feel like a slap in the face seeing her do stuff with other children even if they are for my own. I know I have to get over it but it doesn't have to be today so say yes so I can stop the verbal diarrhea okay. -Maxie

I can totally come with! That way you can help me with my Nik problem and I can help you with the baby stuff. Wow its so weird to be excited over stuff like this.-Britt

I know it is very unexpected but I welcome it so let's meet at that baby furniture store on 7th and Main.- Maxie

Shouldn't take me long at all since I am already in town. I will see you soon. -Britt

Its so weird that my parents aren't up but they may be tired because Sofia cried in the middle of the night when I needed to feed her. I decide to leave them a note telling them I will be out with Sofia for the day. For once I am glad I listened to the car dealer about getting a sedan instead of a convertible. He told me it was sensible and it would be family-friendly when the time came. He couldn't have been more right. I set Sofia up in her car seat and she looks excited to be going outside. I put her stroller in the trunk and I get in and take a deep breath before I start the car.

One perk living in a town is that most of the time it is less traffic so I can breathe a little easier but I am still on edge. I wonder if this is what mothers always talk about. The main shopping district isn't far from Mac's house so that's a plus. I find a place to park and assemble Sofia's stroller and start walking. I got some looks from some people but I can't help that so I decide to just keep walking with my head held high.

I feel eyes watching me but not the obvious stares but like someone's heavy presence. It makes me feel alert and ready to pounce.

"How did you get Connie back the judge said you weren't allowed to be anywhere near her?" Now I realize why I felt that way. Its Lulu's narrowing eyes and condescending stare that greets me.

"Well hello to you too. For one Georgie isn't here she is with Spinelli on the other side of the country. I am not violating any ruling that crooked judge threw my way."

"Oh the judge is crooked because he didn't side with you. It only shows that he has a brain to see someone as damaged and self-centered as you shouldn't be a mother. Which begs the question who would be dumb enough to let you watch their children. It obviously isn't Connie since you say she is gone." Where the hell is Britt she said she wasn't going to be long? I don't want to say things I regret but Lulu is fucking pushing it.

"Like I said Georgie is with Spinelli. This baby is no concern of yours and who ever leaves their child in my care is none of your business. You are not my gatekeeper and you have absolutely no say of what others can do." She is grating my nerves and I know the baby can sense my tension because she doesn't look as excited as she once was.

"You think the rules don't apply to you huh? Let's see if the judge likes this when I tell him you are watching someone else's child with no supervision and God knows you need it probably burn the house down without even trying."

"Lulu you can just go to hell! No detours straight to hell this baby is no concern of yours and my child with Spinelli is no concern of yours. Keep inserting yourself in my life you will find yourself with a restraining order. I don't give a damn if your husband is a cop that won't stop or intimidate me from filing for a order of protection. You call me selfish yet you are always expecting things to be handed to you like it is some birth right. Shit fits the fan sometimes and you do what you do best lash out at everyone and expect no one to say anything to you. Well guess what I could care less about what you say. I am not going to lay down and play the puppy you want to kick. Get out of my face and stop harassing me or I will call the police." I am so sick of her! I am done with acting with contrition. I need to live my life not bite my tongue so Lulu can berate me to feel better about herself she can save that shit for her family.

"You should do what she says Lulu it won't look good for you if you get hit with a restraining order for harassment. If you leave we can pretend like this never happened." Britt takes 5 years to get here but at least she is finally here.

"Excuse me! You are taking her side in this. This bitch killed my baby and then take away my Connie from me and you have the audacity to side with her. Aren't you playing house with my brother? You should mind the choices you make. I have a lot of sway with my brother and he won't like it one bit that you are friends with this piece of trash. If you are friends with Maxie then Nikolas might as well go back to romancing Elizabeth because you must be trash to hangout with it." I am so floored that Lulu would say that to her brother's significant other in public no less. She doesn't really know Britt or the fact that Britt wears bitch like a second skin.

"You listen here. I don't give a damn if you were Nikolas's twin. Your threats mean horseshit to me and put yourself in my relationship and see what happens. You may be Nikolas's sister but that doesn't make you immune from my fist or my wrath. If you want to play the bitch game let's go. Go ahead and try to fill Nikolas's head about being with Elizabeth I dare you. Keep messing with other people's lives and wreck your own at the same time I could care less. Are you ready to play Lulu?" Britt is tall without heels and can look very intimidating and she does when she gets all in the face of Lulu she has probably 9 or 10 inches on her. I know I should probably get in the middle to stop it but I doubt Britt would hit her and Ben be so close by.

"Nikolas is going to hear about this and he isn't going to like it one bit that you have threatened me! I am going to make sure Nikolas knows the kind of person you are. You must be as shallow as Maxie to be in the same company. Nikolas is better off with someone like Elizabeth anyways." Britt still gives her def-con bitchface and Lulu leaves in a huff but I know she was intimidated because I know I would be.

"Maxie I am sorry I am late Ben had to be changed and was a little hungry so it took me some time. Wow Lulu is such a bitch. I don't care if she tells Nikolas I am a bitch its something he already knows but I feel like she is going to twist it and make me a villain. I know I am not pixie dust and all that but she had to be dealt with a dose of mean. Anyways don't let her ruin today we have to shop for your babies. So we have to get two of everything. It shouldn't be so matchy matchy though like maybe purple and green as base colors. Pink is so generic and cliché. Just because they are girls doesn't mean they need everything pink." I am glad that the conversation can steer from Lulu being a raging bitch to what colors I should have in the spare bedroom/nursery.

"Let's go in and see what they have." We go into "Stacey's Baby and Me" store and the best thing it is an all in one so I only have to make one trip to one store. I have no interest going to five different stores for baby things. Its just really convenient now because Sofia really controls what will be done.

I am so ready to get this over with already and eat something but at least I had a friend to to defend me but I hope it doesn't cause problems for her but Britt doesn't bow down for anyone I don't know why Lulu thought she would be any different.

So that was the chapter. I haven't edited it yet I just wanted to post it and I will edit what I can when I get home today. I just was too excited to write this chapter.
