In Another Life

Chapter Four: Revealing

The girls and Spinelli and finished their dinner at Kelly's making their way back to the Metro Court when Spinelli looked at his watch. "hm it was still kinda early." He told the driver to take them in a different direction and toward Jason and Liz's house they went. Once there Spinelli told Miss Lenia she could take the rest of the night off that he would have the girls for the evening. The nanny nodded as Spinelli told the driver he would call him when it was time for him to come pick them up. Walking up on the porch with both girls hands in his he let go for a second ringing the doorbell. Liz came to the door smiling. She hadn't changed much, her hair had gotten longer but she still looked pretty.

"Spinelli! What a suprise! Come In."

"Thanks!" Spinelli and the girls entered as spinelli looked to them motioning them to go sit down on the couch he looked at Liz

"Jase around?"

"Yeah he's out back working on his motorcycle.I'll go get him for you hold on just a sec."

Spinelli nodded as Liz walked into the kitchen. A few minutes later Jason walked out, he sure hadn't changed either still the same Stone Cold that he knew ten years ago except he was wearing a smile. Jason walked up to him hugging him

"Man Spinelli! I am glad to see you."

Spinelli hugged him back "It's good to see you too Jase!"

"What no stone cold?" Jason laughed

"Nah, I grew out of that after I left."

"Well sit, stay awhile, we got alot of catching up to do."

"Don't we.."

Jason turned seeing the two girls sitting down on the couch his eyes got big and turned back to spinelli

"Those two yours?"

"Mhmm indeed."

"Wow, when did you become a father?"

"About eight years ago."

"Well where is the mother at?"

"She pasted on."

"Oh...I'm sorry to hear that man."

"Yeah I am happy though I got these girls and life couldn't be better.Let me introduce you to them. Maxie, Georgie come here please."

"Maxie?...Georgie?..."

"Yeah long story on that one also."

"No kidding apparently."

The girls come running their hair bobbling back and forth "Yes Daddy!" they both said.

"Girls I like to introduce you to your Uncle Jason."

Their eyes lit up and ran over giving him a hug. Jason embraced the hug looking up at Spinelli "Uncle?"

"Yeah they are family and all."

"Huh..wha? What are you talking about Spinelli?"

Spinelli didn't know how to tell him really. It was all strange to him at first also till right after he found out. Liz looked at the girls smiling

"Hey girls you want to go play with Cam and Jake for abit while your daddy and Uncle talk?"

"Sure!"

"Okay girls you go play I'll come get you when it's time to leave."

"Okay daddy!"

Spinelli and Jason walked over to the couch sitting down as liz took the girls into the other room. Jason looked over at Spinelli with a confused look on his face.

"So I am a uncle to them? I always knew we were like family."

"Well that is partly it Jase. The mother of the girls name was Brooklynn."

"Ned's Daughter Brooklynn?"

"Yes.."

"How?"

"When I left I went back home. I stopped in Nashville for awhile to try and find out anything I could on my birth parents. I came up with nothing. As I was fiddling around in a computer store a girl came up to me thinking I was a salesman there asking me all kinds of questions about her laptop. I quickly told her I wasn't one and made some joke about it and we just hit it off from there. A year later we were married and she was pregnant. Throughout the pregnancy she had complications. The doctors told her that it would be a miracle if she or the babies made it out alright. Apparently she had formed a rare bone disease before she got pregnant and didn't know she had it till it was too late."

"Oh man.." Jason sat there listening in shock

"Anyways so right after she gave birth it was about five months she started getting worse and worse. The doctors finally told her that there was nothing left they could do for her. Brooklynn was a blessing in my life at the time. She knew all about my love for Maxie and how Georgie felt about me and never once got angry or upset about it. She believed in me as much as I did her. The day the babies were born she told me to go ahead and name them after them. She wanted me to keep a piece of that with me forever as if it was her blessing to me."

"Wow!"

"Yeah so coming back to Port Charles was a blessing for me. I got to see you, Lulu, Mike, and Carly.It has been good being back."

"So how long are here for?"

"Till the day after the reunion then I have to get back."

"So what are you up to now?"

"I am a professor and a writer."

"Really? I never pictured you as that. I always thought you still be into the whole private eye thing."

"I grew up Jase, I still dabble into that from time to time but now I teach at the University of Tennessee as a Professor of Science."

"You have done alot for yourself Spinelli, I am very proud of you."

"Thanks Jase that means alot."

Jason gives Spinelli another hug as they continue to talk about old times.

Maxie took a walk by herself thinking abit back to two thousand and eight when her and spinelli were partners together teaming up to save others and solve cases. She had fun with him and that's what she missed the most. Yea she had the luxurious life she also wanted but it just didn't feel the same. She heard sounds of feet coming up then heard someone say her name.

"Maxie?"

Turning around there stood Lucky and Sam. Sam had gotten big and you could defiantly tell she was pregnant. Maxie ran over hugging them both.

"Oh My God! Hey you two!"

"Hey stranger! How has the busy bee been?"

"Busy.." Maxie and Sam laugh

Maxie rubs Sam's belly "So your finally getting that bundle of joy you always wanted. I am happy for you Sam."

"Yeah Lucky and I are very excited. We can hardly wait for her to arrive."

"Aw it's a girl..that is so awesome.Congrats you guys!"

"We have come up with a couple but haven't decided on anything official yet."

"Well you will have to let me know when you have her so I can come back down and see how beautiful she is."

"Will do, but for now we must go. We got Lamaze class we have to get too."

"Okay See you later guys."

Maxie smiled everyone's world seemed to be playing like they wanted it to play out except hers. She got what she wanted but in the end it wasn't all really want she wanted to start with.
