Christmas Is All Around

A/N: This is a project that is being done for the 12 Days of Christmas Flash Fiction Challenge over on the Live Journal community ghffchallenge (Flash fic for those of you who are unfamiliar with the term are pieces written within an hour ) The basis is that 12 prompts will be given based on different Christmas carols and that in the end the parts must intertwine...This is where I got a bit of inspiration from one of my favorite Holiday films 'Love Actually' in which thought the film there were 10 stories of Love and in the end they intertwined on Christmas Eve...this is AU and takes place in Port Charles the way I see it in my own messed up mind...I don't own GH but you know you'd love me to...


PROMPT 12:

You better watch out,
you better not cry
Better not pout,
I'm telling you why
Santa Claus is coming to town


A few hours later the Hospital Party was in full swing. Kate Howard was dressed up as Mrs. Claus while Spinelli and Lulu were dressed up as Santa's elves however the big man himself had yet to of shown up.

Lucky showed up with Sam and her sisters.

"I'm going to go take the girls over to where the other kids are," Sam said.

Lucky nodded and gave her a kiss on the cheek before heading over to where Liz stood holding baby Jake.

"I hope you and the boys will come over tomorrow," Lucky said, "I kind of bought them something."

Elizabeth rolled her eyes.

"I moved back to the house on Saturday," Lucky said, "I'm done with wallowing over the fact that we split up and Emily died...I need to live for today."

Elizabeth smiled.

"So is Sam going to be there," Liz asked.

"She'll be spending the day with her mother and sisters," Lucky said, "what about Jason I don't see him here tonight is he out doing business for Sonny."

Liz shook her head.

"I don't know where he is," Liz said, "but would he be welcomed if I brought him tomorrow."

"I guess he can come," Lucky said, "I mean for the boy's sake we should put aside everything at least till the New Year."

"and maybe by then the four of us will have reached some understanding where we can all be in the same room before World War Three breaks out," Liz said.

Lucky nodded as Cam spotted him and ran over giving him a hug and dragging him to sit with him.

Kate looked over at the crowd before turning to the young elves.

"Ok," Kate said, "is Santa always fashionably late like this."

Lulu couldn't help but laugh. Growing up in this town she had been to many a hospital Christmas Party and things always seemed to go wrong.

"I take that as a yes," Kate said.

"Fear not," Spinelli said looking across the room to where Carly, Jax and the boys arrived with Milo.

Spinelli smiled at the girls before grabbing the young bodyguard and running down the hall.

Nadine caught the sight of the two men out of the corner of her eye and followed after them.

--

Georgie and Logan meanwhile were done with there work at the Soup Kitchen and were now entering the hospital.

"See," Georgie said,"it was quick and painless."

"I agree," Logan said, "though a part of me wishes you dressed up like an elf."

Maxie and Cooper walked over to the elevator and the blonde rolled her eyes.

"I can't believe you've moved on to corrupting my little sister,' Maxie said.

"I was the one who wanted to be corrupted," Georgie said, "I mean it beats getting my heart broken by giving Dillon another go."

"When you put it that way," Maxie said turning from her sister back to Logan, "but if you hurt her."

Logan nodded. He knew how precious the younger Jones girl was and he didn't want to hurt her in any way.

The elevator door opened as the foursome entered.

"Wait for us,' Serena said running to enter the elevator with Johnny Zacchara.

At the sight of the Mob Prince and the Blonde daughter of the Special Prosecutor the sisters and Cooper rolled there eyes but with no comment made from the girl's older brother the trio figured Logan knew of this and he was ok.

--

Meanwhile back upstairs Spinelli was fishing around the locker room while Milo was standing there looking dumbfounded as Nadine entered.

"What are you looking for," Nadine asked.

"A Santa Costume," Spinelli said, "I mean there has to be one somewhere...who was supposed to be Santa anyway."

"Dr.Drake," Nadine said.

"Jr or Sr," Spinelli asked.

"Sr.," Nadine said, "and I believe he and Dr. Scorpio are in surgery at the moment."

"That isn't good," Spinelli said, "anyway the children will be devastated if there is no Santa so we need to find the suit and give it to Milo here."

"Huh," Milo said letting it all settle in.

"Please," Spinelli said pouting to which Nadine too began to pout.

Milo agreed and began to help the young hacker and the nurse search for a Santa suit.

--

The young adults got off the elevator and witnessed the sight. Kate and Lulu were sitting off to the side as Jasper Jacks was reading the Christmas Story aloud like the Late Dr. Alan Quartermaine did on Christmas's past. They watched as Lucky was seated with Cameron and Kristina while Sam sat with them holding Molly and Liz stood in back holding Jake and Dillon was sitting in a corner playing with little Lila Rae.They watched Carly and the boys smiling up at Jax as he read.

The three young couples found a place to stand and listened to the story themselves.

--

As the elevator door swung open once more Sonny and Jason arrived. Sonny immediately joined Carly and his sons while his daughter Kristina ran to give her father a hug. Jason meanwhile joined Elizabeth and Jake. Though the world still thought Jake was Lucky's it was the holiday and though Jason wouldn't be able to publicly hold his son just seeing him made him happy. He looked over at Lulu and rolled his eyes when he realized Spinelli wasn't in sight. However before Jason could chase after his roommate the sound of jingle bells could be heard as Spinelli reentered with Nadine behind him in a pair of reminder antlers and Milo dressed as Santa.

Sonny and Jason tried not to laugh at the sight of there young employee dressed as Santa while Lulu's heart melted a bit.

--

Patrick, Robin, Kelly, and Andy walked out of the ER and Patrick looked up at the wall clock.

"Crap," Patrick said.

"What's wrong," Robin asked.

"I was supposed to play Santa at the Hospital Party," Patrick said, "how can I even consider having a child of my own when I let all those other kids down."

Kelly rolled her eyes thinking that the time she had to obtain from sex was finally over and she really didn't want to here the further adventures of Robin and Patrick now on Christmas Eve so she turned to Andy.

"Grab a condom," Kelly said, "I think OR4 is open."

Andy nodded and followed the nurse to have a little Christmas Party of there own in OR4 while Robin looked at Patrick.

"It wasn't your fault," Robin said, "and I'm sure they got a back up Santa."

Patrick figured Robin was right as they headed to see who the lucky guy to play Santa was.

By the end of the evening plans were being made for Christmas Day and New Years Eve as Families got together and Couples were reunited or just coming together for the start of something magical. In the wake of tragedy it was nice to have some happiness and love. Christmas was there in Port Charles. It was all around them bringing with it much deserved magic and hope for a bright New Year.
