He woke up and panicked, he had no clue where he was or what was going on. He was in a dim sterile room, he tried to get up, but slumped back into the bed; dizzy. He realized he was hooked up to some kind of machine, a monitor; he thought I must be in a hospital. He found the call button and paged the nurses' station. "It's good to see you awake Mr. Spinelli," the nurse said when she entered his room; "I'm going to check your vitals, okay?"
"Where am I," he asked, "what's going on, how'd I get here, and how did you know my name?"
"You are going to have to calm down sir; your blood pressure is through the roof! You're at Hawken Memorial Hospital, Clover Valley, New York, just outside the city. Some teenagers found you passed out in the park last night and called an ambulance. We got your name off your driver's license. Do you know what day it is?"
"I'm pretty sure it's sometimes around February 20th, that's the last day I remember." He remembered that date clearly, he was supposed to met Maxie, they hadn't seen each other in days, had only left voicemails and text messages for each other, she was pregnant, he was going to propose, and he couldn't remember anything past that.
"Okay, well, you're missing over a week, it's March 3rd. I'm going to get the doctor and see what he wants to do about your memory loss. If you want you can call someone. I know your girlfriends on the way; she calls every 30 minutes to see if you are awake, she'd probably like to hear from you."
"Maxie," he questioned, "how does she even know I'm here?"
"When we put you into the system, we kept calling your house; she's the one who finally answered. She should be getting here any second now Port Charles isn't that far away."
He heard her screaming at a nurse from down the hall, "I need to know where Damian Spinelli's room is, now! He's been gone for nearly two weeks, I'm his girlfriend, and you better tell me where he is!"
"Maxie," he heard Jason snap, "sorry, she's a little stressed out! We got a call saying Damian Spinelli was brought in last night, could you just point us in the right direction?"
"Room 514, it down the hall on the right," she said pointing gladly.
She rushed into his room, to his bedside, and threw her arms around him, crying.
"Where have you been man? We've been looking all over the place for you. Apparently without your computer genius, I can't find anyone!"
"What's going on? Where the hell have you been, why are you in the hospital?"
"I really don't know what's going on Maxie, I remember I was on my way to meet you, then I woke up here. I don't know anything; the doctor hasn't come in yet." He then softly asked, "How are you by the way, how's the baby?" She didn't have the heart to tell him she had lost it, not yet anyway. "I'm fine, don't worry about me, let's figure out what's going on with you first."
The doctor walked in, said according to all the test they had run he was fine. "So why can't he remember where he's been," Jason asked.
"He's probably just suppressing whatever happened. When you get back to Port Charles, I'd suggest speaking with a psychologist, maybe trying some hypnotherapy, it could help."
Jason grabbed his cell phone, "I'm going to call Dr. Winters and Patrick, when we get home we're going to see if they can help, I'm going to go see if I can check you out so we can get out of here and to the bottom of this."
"I'll go with you," the doctor said, "like I said, everything came back normal, you passed out from dehydration, but we've been pumping you full of fluids, so I'm positive you can be discharged."
He was on his way to meet her, they'd been playing phone tag for days, but she sent him a text saying she would meet him. They hadn't talked since she told him she was pregnant, and called him a jackass, he was still confused about that. He was going to ask her to marry him, not just because she was pregnant, but because he loved her; he probably would've waited longer if she wasn't having his baby, but she was; it is what it is, he thought. Suddenly he felt woozy and fell to the ground.
They weren't going to hurt the young man, they needed him, and he meant too much to their daughter, to their daughters. They had heard a lot about the computer genius, back home in Port Charles, they'd been following him for sometime now, they knew he may come in handy. Keeping their eye on him was going to pay off. They had been working on a big case and needed some help, they didn't know where else to turn, so they drugged him and took him away. They had no clue that the whole pregnancy ordeal was going on or they would not have taken him, not like this way, they would've let her know; she had been through so much already. They planned on using him and his genius to get the information they needed and then drop him off somewhere safe and sound.
And that's exactly what they did; they got what they needed from him, and sent him back to their daughter. He was safe, and thankfully; for them anyway; he couldn't remember any of it.
They made it back to Port Charles safely; Jason dropped the two of them off at his apartment, giving Spinelli one of those adorable guy hugs, half hug, half pat on the back, to let him know he was glad to see him again. And continued on across the hall to his place.
He told Maxie he was beat and was going to take a shower and go to bed. She told him she was staying, to take care of him, that while he showered she would run to Kelly's and get him some soup. He needed to regain his strength. He told her thanks for taking care of him, especially when he should be the one taking care of her, and kissed her as she walked out the door.
When he got out of the shower he saw her on the couch crying. "What's wrong," he asked, setting down and pulling her close.
"I thought I lost you, like I lost everyone else! I'm so sorry for the things I said the last time we were together, I was upset, I was scared, I didn't mean it. I love you!"
"Maxie, can I ask you a question?"
"I know what you're going to ask, don't, please just don't," she was crying harder now.
He pulled her closer, "Why so sad, you've got me back, I'm safe, we're having a baby, Maxie, will you marry me?"
"I can't. I won't. I told you not to ask. I knew you were going to ask, Lulu told me."
"You can't, you won't! Lulu told you? Why can't you, why won't you? Maxie please, talk to me!"
"I'm not pregnant!"
"What?!"
"I was pregnant, now I'm not I had a miscarriage."
He looked at her stunned. "This is all my fault, I wasn't here for you, I caused this."
"No you didn't, it just happened. It happened the night we were supposed to meet. The night you were going to propose," she cried. "Dr. Lee said it wasn't anything anyone did, that sometimes it just happens."
"No, it is my fault, we fought, and I walked out on you! I should've stayed."
"It was good that you left, I would've only gotten more pissed off if you stayed. Besides I'm the one who pushed you away! I'm just glad you came back to me." She kissed his check, he held her so close. "I thought I upset you so much, I thought when I said what I said that I broke your heart, and you left me. Then I talked to Lulu, she said you'd never leave me."
"Marry me," he asked again.
"Sweetie, getting married won't solve this; it won't bring our baby back."
"Maxie, I want to marry you, I love you."
"I love you too, but I won't marry you, not like this, not just because you're trying to do the right thing. I would love to be your wife, I swear I'll marry you someday, but I'm not ready, not after all of this."
"What do we do then? Act like none of this ever happened? Because it did happen, and we can't just ignore it, at least I can't."
"I don't plan on acting like it didn't happen. I plan on putting one foot in front of the other."
