Maxie is at the hospital and sees her dad on phone and she walks up and says, "Who're you talking to?"

Frisco looks at Maxie and says, "Just a project I'm working on that has been a priority and recently become a bit urgent. How are you, Sweetheart? You feeling all right?"

Maxie then says, "Yeah, I feel fine. I'm actually here on some business of my own. I used to take pride in all the details, making sure the event came out smoothly. You know, it's really nice to be needed for something again…besides being a baby incubator, I mean."

"Listen, I'm glad that you're keeping busy, but don't push it too much." Frisco says.

Maxie then says, "This isn't my first quickie wedding. Trust me. Although it is my first in I.C.U."

Frisco then says. "Have you had any more run-ins with this Dr. Westbourne?"

"Not a peep since you told her to stay away from me." Maxie says.

"Well, let me know if you do." Frisco says.

Maxie then says, "I still feel really guilty about that horrible trick she had me play on Sabrina, making her think she'd killed one of her patients by giving him the wrong medication. I mean, let's face it Dr. Westbourne is despicable. There's no guarantee she's gonna keep her mouth shut that this baby's mine and Nathan's."

Just then Nathan walks up.

"Can I help you with something? If you don't mind, my daughter and I are having a private conversation."

Nathan looks at Frisco and says, "Did you just say your daughter?"

Maxie grabs Nathan's arms and says, "Oh! That's great. I can introduce the two of you. Nathan, this is my dad. Dad - Nathan.

Nathan then says, Wow so you're the famous Frisco Jones that Anna talks so highly about."

Frisco then says, "Anna? How do you know Anna?"

Maxie jumps in and says, "Dad, Nathan is a Detective at the PCPD so Anna is his boss."

Nathan then says, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Jones."

"I'm not sure I can say the same. What are your intentions with my daughter?"

Maxie then says, "Dad."

"Is there something wrong with a father protecting his daughter?" Frisco says.

Nathan then says, "Not at all but Frisco you don't have to worry about me. Maxie and I are just getting to know each other and I have no plans of breaking her heart."

"Good because you seem like a really good guy and I would hate to put you head first through a wall."

"Dad, it's really okay. Nathan and I have made the choice to take things slow and really get to know each other before jumping into anything serious. We are both very content with the way things are. It's harmonious, so just breathe."

Frisco then says, "Well, I wouldn't want to disturb the harmony." Frisco extends his hand for Nathan to shake and Nathan gladly shakes his hand.

Nathan then says, "Well, if you'll excuse me. I better get these lab results back to Anna so I will see you at home Maxie."

"Bye, Nathan." Maxie says.

Frisco looks at Maxie and says, "That's the father of my grandchild?"

Maxie sighs and says, "Yes dad and he is a really great guy who I happen to really like. So please do not make trouble for Nathan. I think Nathan and I have a chance of building a great relationship.

"Okay. I'll leave him alone. I promise. Can't say the same for your Dr. Westbourne."

Maxie looks to see Britt on crutches.

Maxie looks at her dad and says, "What happened to her?"

Frisco then says, "Maybe she's clumsy."

Maxie then says, "Dad, did you do something? N-never mind."

"Let's have a little talk with the doctor, shall we? We can have some long-overdue father-daughter bonding by terrorizing your doctor."

"As much fun as that actually sounds, I've got a wedding to throw, so... I'll catch you later." Maxie says.

Maxie walks off and heads to the I.C.U. to finish the wedding prep for Olivia and Steve.

Frisco walks up to Britt and says, "Dr. Westbourne, we meet again."

Britt looks at Frisco and says, "You did this, didn't you? You made me fall."

"Accidents happen, especially for people with bad karma, like blackmailing patients, things like that. They have a tendency to have accidents. Be more careful in the future." Frisco says.

"Look, the thing with Maxie it's over. I let her go. You and I are done." Britt says.

Frisco then says, "We'll be done when I say so, Toots."

"What do you want?" Britt says.

Frisco then says, "There's the issue of the nurse."

"The committee cleared your little nurse. So leave me alone."

"I will when I'm satisfied that you won't open your mouth about the baby that's growing inside of my daughter." Frisco says.

Britt then says, "No one will know that Maxie's carrying her own child by Nathan West. You have my word."

"Your word?" Frisco says.

"What other assurance do you want?" Britt asks.

Frisco then says, "I'll get back to you on that."

Frisco then walks away.

Later that night, Maxie is sitting at home on the couch when she hears a knock on the door.

Maxie walks over to the door and answers it.

Frisco then says, "Hey."

"Dad. Hey. What are you doing here?"

Frisco then says, "I brought you a little surprise. Ta-da!"

Frisco pulls out a pizza.

"Pizza from Gagliano's?" Maxie says.

Yeah, how about that, huh? It used to be my favorite. I was so happy when I saw the place was still in business." Frisco says.

"Okay. Um, you didn't just drive five miles out of your way to bring me this, so what's going on?" Maxie asks.

Frisco then says, "We alone?"

"Yes. Nathan is still at work. Now enough with the stalling. Why are you here?" Maxie says.

Frisco then says, "I want to talk to you about your friend Nathan."

Maxie then goes into the kitchen and grabs some plates for the pizza.

Maxie digs into the pizza box and says, "This is even better than I remember. I mean, since I've been pregnant, all my cravings have been really out of whack like things I like, I hate, and vice versa, but this..."

Frisco then says, "How's that going, by the way? The pregnancy? Everything okay?"

"Well, aside from my intense craving for pastrami sandwiches, I can't really complain. Is that why you wanted to talk to me about Nathan? Because of the baby?

Frisco then says, "I've been thinking, honey... maybe it's not such a good idea that you pass the baby off as Dante and Lulu's."

"Dad, you promised me you were gonna keep this secret. You're not gonna tell Dante and Lulu now, are you?" Maxie asks.

"No, honey. I have no intention of giving away your secret. I'll say nothing to Dante and Lulu." Frisco says.

Maxie then says, "Thank God."

Frisco then says, "But have you thought this through? I know you're doing something nice for your friends, and I'm very proud that you're willing to make such a huge sacrifice, but, you know, you're giving part of yourself away."

"Look, I am the one that volunteered to be a surrogate." Maxie says.

Frisco then says, "But you're not a surrogate anymore. Are you really willing to give your baby to Dante and Lulu when you know it's really yours? And more importantly are you willing to give this baby away without Nathan even knowing that this baby exists?"

"I told you that I am not ready to be a mother, and I don't know if I ever will be. It's not like I come from a stable family. I'm not an inherently nurturing person." Maxie says.

Frisco then says, "Well, I strongly disagree."

"Look, and even if I was ready to be a mother, Nathan and I aren't together. We are just starting out and I want us to have the best chance at happiness and trust me giving this baby to Dante and Lulu is the best thing for all of us."

Frisco then says, "Honey, you and Nathan don't have to be together to parent this child."

"No, Dad. It's more than that, okay? Dante and Lulu they are so excited about this child. If you could have been there when they saw the sonogram they believe that this baby is theirs, and I am not gonna take that away from them." Maxie says.

Frisco then says, "But, honey, you're not giving Dante and Lulu a family. You're giving them yours. Maxie, this is your baby. This is my grandchild. You're both my flesh and blood."

"And since when does that matter?" Maxie says.

"What do you mean by that?" Frisco asks.

Maxie then says, "Dad, you have been surprisingly supportive lately, and I am very grateful, but... I mean, you've never really been too concerned about being a father. I have a few memories of you from when I was little, but Georgie only knew you from pictures."

"Well, I made some poor choices. But I can't go back and unmake them." Frisco says.

"No, Dad. I understand, and I'm not mad at you anymore. You know, I get that even heroic, super-spy dads have flaws. You didn't leave because you were malicious. You left because you didn't want the life you had signed up for. And that's okay." Maxie says.

"I'm trying to make up for lost time." Frisco says.

Maxie then says, "That's exactly my point. Being a father has never really been your priority, so I want to know why you're really here."

"You know, honey, all those years away, I told myself that it was for the greater good, that I was serving my country... and that I'd be able to make up the time I lost with you and your sister. But what I really didn't realize is that...once time is gone, it's gone…For everyone, and it...really doesn't matter if you're alive or dead."

Maxie begins to cry and says, "I really wish you could have known Georgie. She was so smart, and I don't mean that she got straight A's, which she always did. But she was really smart about people. She gave great advice. And she was kind and forgiving. No matter how badly I would screw up, my little sister would always be on my side. I miss that. I miss her. You would think after all these years that I would be used to it, but, um...I still can't really believe she's gone. When you were talking about losing your family, I think that - I think I understand what that means."

Frisco then says, "I want another chance with you, Maxie. And your mom."

"Mom?" Maxie says.

Frisco then says, "I love your mom. I want her back."

Maxie looks at him and says, "You're serious."

"Honey, I know your mom and I have had our - you know, our problems, but, you know, feelings like that are very real, and I want to know if we can get back what we had."

Maxie then says, "A-and you think that you could just come back here and expect her to try again?"

"Yeah, I understand why you'd be skeptical. We did have dinner the other night."

"And?" Maxie says.

Frisco then says, "Well, she sort of made a show of letting me know she wants me to leave town."

"Oh, Dad. Oh, I don't think that was a show. I think she wants you to leave town."

"Honey, please. Now, I know your mom and I have had sort of a weird life together, but the feelings we have are very real." Frisco says.

"No, um, this is not fair, okay? Mom is with Mac, and after all the times she screwed up and hurt him, he forgave her, and they worked things out, and they're happy." Maxie says.

Frisco then says, "I think she'd be happier with me."

"I love Mac, and I do not want to see him get hurt." Maxie says.

"And I will always be grateful to Mac for taking care of my girls, but that doesn't mean that he's right for your mother." Frisco says.

Maxie then says, "I understand how you could feel that way, but, um, I'm not sure that I do."

"Well, unfortunately, honey, in situations like this, someone usually gets hurt." Frisco says.

Frisco gets up from the couch and says, "Listen, I want to apologize. I - I'm sorry I dumped that stuff about your mother on you."

"It's okay." Maxie says.

"No. No. No. It's really not. You've got plenty on your plate right now. I sometimes just can't help the way I feel."

"Dad, I get it, okay? We can't help who we love. But we also can't expect them to want us back after we've hurt them...repeatedly."

Frisco then says, "Right. Well, honey, I guess I just feel a little bit differently. I kind of believe that when two people love each other - and I think your mother still loves me - you don't let that go. You fight for it. Thanks for the chat. I love you."

Maxie gets up from the couch and gives Frisco a hug.

"I love you, too. Thanks for the pizza." Maxie says.

Frisco then opens the front door and leaves.

Nathan comes in through the front door 10 minutes after Frisco leaves.

Maxie sees him and says, "Hey you want some pizza?"

Nathan smiles at her and says, "Sure Maxie."

Maxie and Nathan spend the rest of their night talking and laughing and just enjoying each other's company.
