by Spartins1988

After spending two years in prison Johnny Zacchara is finally set free. When he arrives back in Port Charles some people aren't thrilled to see him. But there is one person who is happy to see him and that is Kristina Davis. The two eventually find themselves in a place they never expected they'd be in but soon realize its where they were meant to be all along.

4. Chapter 4

Hey everyone here is part four i hope you like it. I kind of struggled with this one.

Part 4

Johnny sat at a table at Kelly's drumming his fingers as he waited for her to show up. A few minutes passed by till he saw the doors to the diner open. It was her. Once she saw Johnny she made her way over to him.

"Good morning Johnny." She said as she sat down across from him.

"Thank you again for agreeing to meet with me Molly."

"Well when you called me last night it sounded like you had something important to discuss with me."

"I do. It's about your sister Kristina."

"What about her?"

"I asked her to marry me."

As soon as the words left his mouth Molly let out a loud squeal causing everyone to stare at her. She didn't care though because this was fantastic news.

"Oh my god that's great! Kristina must be over the moon."

Johnny sighed. "I wish she was but unfortunately she didn't say yes."

"Wait why? Just last night she told the whole family how much she loved you and how nothing would tear you two apart. I'd think she'd say yes in a heartbeat."

"I did too but apparently having no ring or not bothering to get down one knee isn't exactly what constitutes as a romantic proposal."

"And here I thought you were the romantic type." Molly said as she shook her head.

"I usually am. But last night I just all of a sudden realized I couldn't imagine my life without her. That I needed to make her my wife. So when she came home it just popped out. I knew that I should have waited and made it more special for her but I couldn't help myself. I had to ask her right then and there."

Molly nodded. "Okay so why did you decide to call me? I mean how do I fit into all of this?"

"I want to make things right. I want to do it all over again but this time in a way that she deserves. So I thought you could help me plan it out."

Johnny looked at Molly to see if he could gauge her feelings on the matter. Her eyes immediately lit up and she took her hands and rubbed them together. She had once planed an evening for Sam and Jason that seemed to go well. So she had complete confidence that this would go off without a hitch.

"I'm in!"

"Great!"

"So where should we start off?"

"Well I don't have a ring yet…" Johnny trailed off.

GHGHGHGHGHGHGH

"So what were you thinking of getting her?" Molly asked.

"I'm not sure. I've never went ring shopping before."

"Well there's different kinds of cuts and styles."

Johnny and Molly took a look around the cases a bit till an older woman walked up to them.

"Hi I'm Lydia can I help you with something?"

"Yes." Johnny said. "Were here to pick out an engagement ring for my girlfriend."

"That's wonderful. Did you have anything particular in mind?"

"Well what do you recommend? I want to get her something on the big side. Money is no object"

The sales woman paused as she thought about his question for a moment. When she thought of some things she thought he might like she pulled a set of keys out of her pocket and then proceeded to open display case.

"Well I'd go for a round or square cut." Lydia said as she pulled some rings out of the case. "Here we have some round cuts. There not that big but still quite beautiful."

Johnny looked at them and then at Molly. They both shook their heads. None of them screamed Kristina.

"Okay then…well over here we have some square cut diamonds."

Johnny took a look at the rings till one caught his eye. "What do you think of this one Molly?" He said as he pointed to the one he was looking at.

"I like it. It's big but not too big."

"Excellent choice!" The sales woman said as she picked up the ring so Molly and Johnny could get a better look at it. "This one is platinum. And that type of metal is very in nowadays."

"I'll take it!"

GHGHGHGHGHGHGHGH

Johnny spent the rest of the day out with Molly picking up things he'd need for that night. He got steaks that he planned on making for dinner. He also got veggies to go along with it. When it came time to decide on what to get for desert he decided on chocolate covered strawberries and a special desert he use to love as a kid. Once they got all the food bought they set out to get candles and roses. One of the two most important things needed for tonight. When they had everything they'd needed they went back to the penthouse. Kristina would be gone all day so it gave them a chance to set everything up.

"So I put the strawberries in the fridge so the chocolate could harden and I lit the candles on the table. Do you need anything else before I leave?"

"No I think that's it."

Johnny walked over to the door to see Molly out. He was glad she agreed to help him. He probably could have done everything on his own but he wanted to make sure everything was perfect. His girlfriend was so close to Molly that having her help him out just made since.

"Thanks for all the help Molly."

"It was no trouble. Besides I think you did most of the work. I was just there for moral support or whatever you want to call it." She said with a smile. "Well I better go so you can finish cooking dinner."

Johnny nodded and he and Molly said their goodbyes. Kristina would be home soon and he wanted the food to be on the table by the time she got back. He decided to start on the steak first. He already had the asparagus cooking in the oven.

GHGHGHGHGHGHGH

Kristina was just getting home from a long day out. All she wanted to do was have some dinner and cuddle up in front of the TV with Johnny. They seemed to have patched things up this morning before she left. But she still felt bad about last night. She didn't mean to accuse him of wanting to marry her so he could get his money. Deep down she knew his proposal wasn't about that. It just hurt a little that he didn't put any thought into asking her to marry him. So that caused her to say some things she didn't mean. But Johnny wasn't even mad at her. He agreed with her and said he could have proposed a lot better than he did. When Kristina walked into the penthouse she the lights were dim and candles were lit on the table. She then saw Johnny walking into the room with two plates in his hand.

"What's all this?" She said as she shut the door behind her.

"I decided to make you dinner."

Kristina walked over to Johnny to see what was on the plates. "Hmm steak my favorite."

"That's why I made it."

Johnny set the food down on the table and then pulled Kristina's chair out so she could sit down. She took her coat off and then sat down.

"I can't believe you did all this."

"I also made desert. Chocolate covered strawberries and a desert that I call the Johnny." He said as he sat down.

"Hmm I can't wait to try the Johnny." She told him before giving him a wink.

GHGHGHGHGHGHGH

"That was the best meal I've ever had."

"Really?"

"Yeah but I will admit that I was a little disappointed with desert. I mean when you said you had made something called the Johnny I just assumed I'd get to have sex with you on this table."

Johnny smiled. If he didn't have plans for the rest of the evening he would totally take her right here and now on that table.

"Hmm as much as I'd love to do that with you I have someone special planned for you."

Johnny got up from the table and grabbed Kristina's hand. She stood up and followed him over to the piano. The both sat down as he set his fingers on the keys. He was finally going to play something for her. She had waited for this moment for so long and it was finally going to happen.

"A hundred and five is the number that comes to my head
When I think of all the years I wanna be with you
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
That's precisely what I plan to do

And you know one of these days when I get my money right."

Johnny looked over at Kristina and gave her a smirk when he sang that line. It perfectly fit with what had been happening recently. Kristina new it and let out a little laugh.

"Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life
We'll forever be in love, so there ain't no need to rush
But one day, I won't be able to ask you loud enough

I say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I say will you marry me
Singing (Woah oh woah)
(Woah oh woah)
(Woah oh woah oh oh)"

Kristina just stared at him. Did he just ask her to marry him? If he did that had to be the most romantic way to do.

"How many girls in the world can make me feel like this?
Baby I don't ever plan to find out
The more I look, the more I find the reasons why
You're the love of my life"

Johnny was pouring everything he had into that song. All the words expressed how he felt deep down inside. The words Kristina needed to hear.

"You know one of these days when I get my money right
Buy you everything and show you all the finer things in life
We'll forever be in love, so there ain't no need to rush
But one day, I won't be able to ask you loud enough

I say will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I say will you marry me

And if I lost everything
In my heart it means nothing
'Cause I have you, girl I have you
So get right down on bended knee
Nothing else would ever be
Better, better
The day when I say

Will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I say will you marry me

Will you marry me
I swear that I will mean it
I say will you marry me

Got me singing
(Woah oh woah)
(Woah oh woah)
(Woah oh woah oh oh)
Got me singing
(Woah oh woah)
(Woah oh woah)
(Woah oh woah oh oh)

A hundred and five is the number that comes to my head
When I think of all the years I wanna be with you
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
That's precisely what I plan to do.

I love you baby

Johnny got off the piano bench and got down on one knee. He then pulled out a black velvet box that was in his pocket. Once he opened it Kristina gasped. It was the most beautiful ring she had ever seen.

"I know my proposal last night fell flat. And that was completely my fault. It honestly was. And thankfully you forgave me."

"There was nothing to forgive Johnny." She said holding back tears.

"But still I didn't do things right. And I should of. I mean I know that I've made a lot of wrong choices in my life. One of them being when I tried to push you away and another when I made that awful proposal last night. And I know I'll probably make a thousand more. But I'd be making the worst one of all if I didn't make you my wife."

Kristina felt tears start to fall from her eyes. This wasn't the type of proposal she dreamed of. And it never would be because this one was far better than anyone she could have dreamt up.

At a loss for words she said. "I…I Just don't know what to say."

"Say you'll marry me. Say you'll be my Mrs. Zacchara."

She knew what she wanted to say but she was afraid to. This was a big step.

"Say someone thing baby."

Kristina's eyes welled up with more tears as she looked at Johnny. In his eyes she could see how vulnerable he was. He was giving his all to her. Yet at the same time he never seemed more self-assured. And in that moment she suddenly wasn't afraid anymore.

"Yes. I'll marry you."

Johnny took the ring out of the box and slipped it on her awaiting finger. He then immediately wrapped his arms around Kristina and picked her up to spin her around.

GHGHGHGHGHGH

"Lulu!"

Johnny looked up from the bar to see Maxie entering the room. When their eyes locked Maxie looked shocked that he was there.

"Johnny what are you doing here?"

"Lulu didn't tell you? I own half of the Haunted Star now."

"No I guess she forgot that little detail." Maxie said as she walked over the bar.

Johnny poured himself a glass of bourbon and then grabbed a glass for Maxie. He poured water in hers and set it in front of her.

"So what's new with you?"

"Me um well not much. I'm dating a cop now."

"Oh right that Detective West guy right?" He said with a smile.

"You know him?"

"Yeah we had a brief encounter."

"Oh."

Maxie wanted to know more about how he met Nathan but she had a feeling he wouldn't want to divulge the information. So she decided to change the subject to something else.

"And I'm a mom now."

Johnny looked at her surprised. "Well congratulations! Who's the lucky guy?"

"Spinelli."

He was surprised Spinelli never said anything. Granted he never talked to him but Kristina did. And you'd think he'd tell her about it. Maybe Spinelli did and she just never got around to telling him about it.

"You know during that brief history we had I kind of thought that maybe you and I might have made beautiful babies if we tried."

"Oh really."

"Yeah but now That Kristina is in my life I just couldn't imagine having kids with anyone else."

"Wait a minute back up. Did you say Kristina?"

"I guess Lulu didn't tell you that were dating either?"

"No she did not."

Suddenly an awkward silence fell over them. Maxie never knew that Johnny was dating Dante's sister. She honestly never thought something like that would ever happen. I mean years ago they pretend to date to piss off Sonny Corinthos. But that was all that between them. Johnny ended things once he realized the dangers of them being around each other. After that they barely saw each other and then Johnny went to jail and Kristina moved away. So when did they get together? It must have been when he was in jail. Maxie looked up at Johnny and saw him taking a sip of his drink. That's when she decided to break the silence with the first thing that came to mind.

"Was it hard going without…" She paused trying to find the right way to word it. "You know."

Johnny looked up at her and gave her a crooked smile. "If you're talking about being with a woman hell yeah." He didn't have to go without it the whole time he was in jail but once he had Kristina and then couldn't have her anymore it became hard for him. "But it was more than that. It wasn't just about the sex. It's about being with somebody, having something real. Finding someone who I could have feelings for whose available, who I could I don't know eventually build a life with. "

''You mean someone like Kristina?"

Johnny nodded. "If you had asked me when I landed in jail if I'd end falling for Kristina Davis I would of called you nuts. But then she ended up having to do community service at Pentonvillie and we somehow kept bumping into each other and I don't know I guess we became sort of friends. She was only there a week though because Sonny didn't want me anywhere near her. So she left for Yale and would end up finishing her community service there. I thought that I wouldn't see her again. Then a few weeks later I ended up getting a visit from her. She wanted to be friends. She wanted to call me, visit me, and send me letters."

"And let me guess you didn't want her to."

Johnny shook his head no. "I knew her well enough to know that she'd get close to me and eventually be upset that we couldn't see each other without a plate of glass being between us. And I didn't want her to worry about me. But she was persistent and I just couldn't say no to her. So she continued her calls, letters and visits. And just as I figured it wasn't enough. We were both falling for each other and wanted more."

"If you don't mind me asking…when was it when you first realized you loved her?"

Johnny smiled. "It was after our first time together."

"So just recently?"

"No almost a year ago."

"Wait how'd you manage that? No you know what I don't think I wanna know. I'm just happy you're happy."

"Who's happy?"

Johnny and Maxie looked over to the stairs to see Kristina standing there.

"That'd be me now that we get to officially be together."

Kristina smiled as she made her way over to Johnny. Once she reached him she gave him a big kiss.

"Well since Lulu isn't here I think I'll try her at home." Maxie said as she grabbed her purse.

"Wait don't go just yet."

"Why what's up?"

"Well I don't know if Johnny told you but were getting married."

Maxie's jaw nearly dropped. "No he didn't He just said you too were dating."

"I thought you'd want to tell her yourself." Johnny said.

'Well either way." Kristina said as she turned to look at Maxie. "We wanted you to know because we would like it if you could plan our wedding"

Maxie at first was a little hesitant. She hadn't planned a real wedding in so long. But there was the fact that ever since Crimson shut down she had been without a job. Maybe if this one turned out well she could try to turn her wedding planning into a successful business. But there was one small problem. Nathan. He made it clear he didn't like Johnny. So he might not be so happy about her planning his wedding. So maybe Maxie wouldn't tell him right away. That's a good idea right?

"I'd love too!" She decided.

"Great!"

Maxie immediately pulled out her phone and started to surf the web. There was a lot of stuff she'd need to do in order to plan the wedding.

"I'm gonna go. If I'm going to plan your wedding there is so many things I need to start doing." Maxie said as she got up from the bar.

"Thanks for agreeing to do this Maxie. It means a lot to me."

"Don't worry about it Kristina. Now I'll call you later tonight and we can go over dates and decide when you guys want to meet up to start planning."

Kristina nodded as she watched Maxie leave the Haunted Star. She was grateful Ms. Jones agreed to help her with her wedding. She had only been a part of one wedding before so she had no clue on how to plan one.

"So babe what brings you by?"

"Well I wanted to tell you before I headed off to my Doctors appointment that I went saw Nikolas."

"Did you tell him about us?" Johnny asked.

"I did and surprisingly he took it pretty well. With my dad in jail and all he offered to walk me down the aisle."

"That was really nice of him."

"It was. Nikolas is a great person. I think he understands what I'm going though. I mean when he and Britt started dating people weren't happy about it and actually tried to break them up. So now that the same thing is happening to us he feels bad I guess."

GHGHGHGHGHGHGH

"Kristina."

Kristina looked up from her phone to see Britt standing in front of her. "Britt hey."

"So I guess congratulations are in order." Kristina looked at her puzzled. "I just got off the phone with Nikolas and he told me you and Johnny are getting married. "

Kristina got up from the chair she was sitting in. "Yeah he proposed last night."

GHGHGHGHGHGHGH

"Well everything seems to be good. All I have to do now is send this script down to the pharmacy so you can get your birth control." Britt said as she opened the door.

"Thanks for seeing me on such short notice."

"It's no trouble. I mean were practically like family."

Kristina smiled as her and Britt walked out of the exam room. She didn't get why people didn't like Britt. Britt was nothing but nice to her. Plus Spencer thought the world of her and that made her more than okay in Kristina's book.

"So have you come up with a date yet for the wedding?"

"Not yet but I'm thinking maybe in the spring sometime."

"Well when Nikolas and I were talking we thought we'd let you know that Wyndermere is always there if you need a place to have your wedding."

"That's really sweet of you guys."

Kristina listened to Britt as she continued to about talk about wedding stuff. They started to make their way over to the nurse's station and that's when she turned her head to the side a little and saw Johnny from across the room. He smiled at her and she smiled right back at him. Before Kristina could motion for him to come over to her she nearly jumped out of her skin as she heard a gun go off. There was a man standing a few feet away from the nurses station with a gun pointed at the ceiling.

"Nobody fucking move!"

The guy with a gun walked over to the nurse's station where Liz was. When he got there he planted his gun in front of her face.

"Where's Dr. Olbrect?!" He yelled at her.

"I don't know but uh… I'll um I'll…I'll page her." Liz nervously said.

Before Liz picked up the phone one of her hands slipped under the desk and pressed a small red button that was strategically placed near the phone. Thankfully no one noticed. She then picked up the phone and pressed the speaker button.

"Paging Dr. Olbrect, paging Dr Olbrect."

"Good now back away from the phone!"

Liz quickly stepped back from the phone. When she did she noticed Shawn to the left of her and Johnny to her right. She wasn't sure when they showed up but a little part of her was glad they did. The more she looked at them she started to notice they both seemed poised to grab a gun. The man who was holding up General Hospital started to walk to the other side of the room. He looked at Liz one more time before he set his gaze on Dr. Westbourne and Kristina.

"You! Get over here."

GHGHGHGHGHGH

"We got an alert from GH. It seems someone hit the panic button. We also got another report of shots being fired from inside the building. I already have a few men in route" Anna said.

Dante and Nathan both grabbed their guns and followed Anna out of the station

GHGHGHGHGHGHGH

Kristina stood stock still as the gunmen pointed his gun at her. He gestured for her to come toward him but she didn't want to.

"Leave her alone!" Johnny yelled as he pulled his gun out.

Shawn followed suit and pulled his out too. When the man saw this he grabbed Kristina and immediately put his gun to her head.

"Let her fucking go. NOW!" Johnny seethed.

"Not until I see Dr. Olbrect! That damn woman didn't give me enough time to pay my medical bills! And now I lost my job and who knows what else I could lose. If she doesn't fucking show I'll put a bullet in this girl's pretty head!"

"Look I get you have a problem with this Dr. but Kristina has nothing to do with that so just let her go."

"Johnny's right just let the girl go and maybe you can get out of here before the police shows up." Shawn said.

Shawn stepped forward a bit and this caused the guy holding to gun to push it harder into Kristina's head. Kristina let out a cry and shut her eyes tight.

"If you don't let her go I swear to fucking god I'll kill you right where you stand!"

On the other side of the room Dante and Nathan were poking their heads out of one of the doors that lead to the main stairwell. They saw the gunmen and he had his gun pointed at his sister's head. They both knew they had to be careful if they wanted Kristina to make it out alive.

"Shit is that your sister?" Nathan asked.

Dante nodded.

"I told you what I wanted now hand over Olbrecht!"

"And I told you what I wanted. Let. Kristina. Go."

Johnny slowly made his way over to Kristina. When he came face to face with the gunman you could see that Johnny's eyes had glossed over with rage. He had never been this infuriated before. And this caused the man holding Kristina to tense up a bit. He knew he was no match for Johnny and that scared him.

"Don't move or um… I'll….I'll…"

"You'll what? You're not going to do anything because you're chicken shit."

The man's hands started to shake including his finger that hovered over the trigger. His grip on Kristina loosened a bit. Once she noticed that she looked over at Johnny. All he did was give her a nod. When her captor wasn't paying attention she used all her strength to pull away from him. He looked back to see her getting away. When she was far enough from him Johnny pulled the trigger on the gun. Just before the bullet hit the gunman his finger slipped on his own gun and it fired. At the same time Johnny and the other man fell to the ground. Dante and Nathan emerged from the stairway and went to go over to the gunman to apprehend him. Kristina barely noticed them coming towards her and immediately started to scream.

"Johnny?!" She said as she ran over to him. "Johnny are you okay?"

Kristina looked down to see Johnny had been shot in his upper chest. She immediately started to apply pressure to his wound.

"I'm, I'm fine. Are…are you okay?" Johnny tried to get out.

"Me? I'm fine baby but you…you were shot!"

"At, at least you're…okay."

Johnny shut his eyes briefly as he found it hard to keep them open. But when he felt Kristina running her hand across his check he used every ounce of energy he had left to open them.

"Hey look at me alright?" Johnny nodded an okay but he looked very weak and that worried Kristina. "I need you to live for me. I know it sounds selfish but I don't care. I love you and I'll be damned if you're gonna die on me. Not after all we've been through. So just…just stay with me okay?"

"I love you too..."

Johnny's eyes started to slowly close. He tried to keep them open but he just couldn't. He was feeling far too weak and let the darkness overcome him.

"No. No!" Kristina screamed as she started to sob her eye's out "No, Johnny, Johnny." She started to shake him. "Johnny Baby! No, no Johnny no! No don't leave me!' Kristina let her head fall down on Johnny's chest as she begged him to please wake up and come back to her.

Kristina eventually felt herself being pulled from Johnny's body. She tried to fight it but the person who grabbed her was a lot stronger then she was. Soon there were nurses and doctors lifting Johnny up on to a gurney and Patrick was there barking orders.

"Kristina you need to let them do their job." Dante said as he did his best to hold his sister back.

"No I need to be with Johnny!"

Kristina tried to fight Dante's hold on her but she couldn't She started to sob as Johnny was wheeled away. She had to know that he'd be okay. There was no way she could lose him. Every man that she had been with romantically had died on her. Now that she finally found the one she was meant to be with he too could very well pass away and that scared her. She had to know he would be okay or else she wouldn't be.

"Patrick?" Kristina called to him before he was able to get away.

"Kristina you need to let Patrick do his job." He said as he loosened his grip on her.

She ignored her older brother. "Johnny was unconscious when they wheeled him away. Is he going to wake up? Will he be okay?"

Patrick paused for a brief moment before he said. "Kristina we will do everything we can for him."

"That's not what I asked you!" She all but yelled. "Is he going to be okay?"

"I don't know Kristina. I won't be able to tell till I can go in and remove the bullet. But right now things don't look that good."
