Stolen Chances
Chapter Eleven: Life Of Hell Or Love?
Spinelli made his way back to where Maxie was. He knelt down on his knees looking over the edge. Squinching his eyes he could see Maxie but barely she was so far down he wasn't sure if she would be able to hear him or not if he called out to her. He layed down on his stomach thinking maybe it would just be alittle closer to her till the arrived.
Maxie awoke to a bright light surrounding her. She blinked her eyes a few times trying to adjust them to the light. She heard a voice speak beside her turning she glared
"What in the hell are you doing here?"
"Well, do you really want to know?"
"Um yeah. I mean I am not dead..am I?"
"No your not offically dead at the moment, your merely having an out of body experience."
"And your suppose to be like my tour guide or something?"
"No more or less I am your tour angel."
"Ha! This has got to be a joke right? Lulu Spencer is my Angel?"
"It's no joke Maxie. I am here to give you a glimpse of what your life will be like if you don't make it."
"Oh brother..I must be in hell!"
"Not quite..Let's say your on a mini detour."
"Your no fun..I liked the snarky lulu back in real life."
"No time for fun Maxie, your life at this moment is hanging on by a thread and only you can save yourself and the baby."
"Oh my god, the baby? Is he or she alright?"
"In due time Maxie you will see for yourself, but first things first. We have a couple of stops to make.So get up."
Maxie rolled her eyes standing up, lulu snapped her fingers, one minute they were in that bright place and the next they were at the police station.
"what are we doing here for?"
"Don't you want to see what your dad Mac has been doing since you died?"
"Well yeah, so he is still commissioner i see."
"Not quite Maxie..Look."
Maxie looked over to see Mac sitting behind a desk filing paperwork. She had never seen him do that before it was always the other goons of the police force that did that type of duty.
"Why is he filing? He doesn't do that!"
"Ever since you died, his heart hasn't been the same. So he stepped down from commissioner to desk duty."
"So who's the new commissioner now?"
As soon as Maxie said that she saw Jerry Jax enter the building. The other police officers were greating him kindly
"Good Morning Commissioner Jacks."
"Commissioner Jacks? You got to be kidding me? He is a conman and a killer. Why on earth would they elect him to be a commissioner!"
"Things have changed Maxie..Alot has changed."
Maxie sighed looking over to Lulu "What about Robin? What about Spinelli?"
Lulu looked to Maxie "Robin left PortCharles again after she found out she was pregnant. She hasn't been back since. As for Spinelli, that is our next stop."
Lulu snaps her fingers taking them away from the police station and to this crummy brokedown looking building.
"Where are we?"
"We're at Spinelli's new home."
"Spinelli lives here? What happened to our place?"
"He couldn't stand going there knowing you weren't going to be there everyday so he moved out here and has been isolated ever since."
"Even from Jason and you?"
"Spinelli and the real me never talked like we used to anymore and as far as Jason goes, Jason tried to help Spinelli but there wasn't much he could do either."
"Can we go in?"
"Do you really want to Maxie?"
"I do..I want to see him."
Lulu nodded snapping her fingers and once again they were in another place this time it was inside that building. Maxie looked around almost about to cry at the stuff she was seeing. She heard something playing, walking around the corner she seen a old projector running. She glanced up seeing her and spinelli all lovey dovey at the hospital fundraiser a year ago. Spinelli had his arm around her and she was kissing him softly. Maxie started to cry wiping the tears away from eyes. She seen someone sitting on the couch infront of the projector she walked up beside it realizing it was Spinelli. He had changed so much. His hair was raggier and it didn't look like he had changed his clothes in god knows when.
"He looks pitiful!"
"That's because he doesn't have you."
"He's holding something..what is it?"
"Your ashes."
"My ashes? Why does he still have my ashes for?"
"Because he's not ready to give you up yet..Don't you see Maxie..You have brushed death numberous of times. Alot of people are affected by you in some way."
"I never knew.."
Lulu nods
"What about the baby? What happened to our baby?"
"That is our next stop. This was a glimpse of the week after you died.We're going to see five years from now next."
Lulu snaps her fingers once again, this time they were in a big back yard with beautiful flowers growing around them everywhere. There was a big white house with light rose colored shutters. The place looked beautiful. She wondered who lived here.
"What is this place lulu?"
"You'll see."
Maxie heard a girl screaming looking over she seen the most beautiful little girl running around in a soft pink sun dress, her long blonde locks were flowing against the wind. Her piercing baby blue eyes were dazzling with the sunlight. Maxie smiled looking over at lulu
"So I had a little girl! She is beautiful."
lulu nodded
"Come and get me daddy!"
"Alright, but I warn you, I will fall to the mercy of your beauty once I catch you."
The little girl giggled "Aw daddy! Cmon!"
Spinelli held his hands up to his eyes as he ran around acting as he was chasing her. Maxie smiled she loved this version of the man she loved compared to the one she previously just seen.
"How did come out of his meltdown?"
"He came to the real me after you died and gave the real me the baby to raise because he wasn't sure if he would be a good enough father to raise her all on his own. Then one day he looked into her eyes and he saw you in them."
"Did he ever name her?"
"Mhm.."
Spinelli had fell down on the ground laughing as the little girl came running over and jumping on him. He grabbed her and hugged her tightly. Holding her he looked into her eyes.
"I wish your mother was here to see how beautiful you have grown."
"I know daddy. I miss her too."
"You know you still got me Maxie."
"He named her after me?"
"Yeah, because he knew that you two shared her and her having your name only meant to him that he would be that much closer to you."
"Did he ever find love again?"
"No she was all the love he needed."
Maxie smiled watching the two as they tickled one another. Lulu looked back to Maxie
"Time to go!"
"No wait! I want to stay here in this moment alittle longer."
"We can't Maxie. You have to get back to your body and make a decision. It is a life of hell or a life of love?"
