Our Time Now

OK first of all I want to say that I'm finally on good terms with my Spinelli muse so I'm all set to update this again...thanks to all for your patience...standard disclaimers as always apply...

The evening quickly passed as Maxie was tended to by her husband upstairs and Landon fell asleep in the guest room as Kenzie sat up in her room reading her e-mails and smiling as she read one from Asher who she was hearing from more and more now that he and Maddie were officially a couple. She smiled at the message saying that his uncle Milo and Aunt Brook were having a baby. Kenzie was happy for Asher's 'cool' uncle from LA and knew that this child would want for nothing in the world. Closing her laptop down she flopped on the bed thinking that this Christmas wasn't going to be as traumatic as she thought.

--

The following day went by in a rush of events as the men set to work setting up a tree in the living room of the Spinelli home as the Spinelli and Hornsby family decided that instead of spending money in decorating both homes for the Holidays that the Hornsby home would just have a simple display of lighting and a small yet festive tree while all the decorations would be for the Spinelli home.

"I can't believe all my decorations are still in storage in Port Charles," Kenzie heard her father saying to Dillon as he began to explain his elaborate display he would set up with an animatronic frosty and lights that flashed in syncopation with the music.

Despite all that the Holiday spirit was defiantly in the air for the two once estranged families.

--

This brought them to Wednesday and Maxie was still feeling a bit ill however she managed to head over to her sisters home for the day hoping that the younger Jones girl could shed some light on her situation meanwhile Spinelli was at his home with the teens and Dillon was at the TV stations Christmas party.

--

"Maxie," her sister said as she opened the door, "you look awful."

"That's funny," Maxie said laughing, "Because that's how I feel."

"Do you have a doctor here in Oakfield, do I need to call Mac and have him come here..."

Maxie let out a deep breath knowing exactly what she had wrong with her as it clearly wasn't a flu bug.

"I'm pretty sure I know what is wrong with me Georgie."

Georgie looked at her.

"Drive me to the drug store alright."

Georgie nodded as she instantly suspected what was going on with her sister and she couldn't be happier since if her instinct was correct then she was glad that she would get to whiteness what she previously missed out on.

--

Back at the Spinelli home Landon was playing the piano while Marty was watching.

"Your amazing man."

Landon grinned.

"I know," he said, "so anyway how well do have you gotten to know about Kenzie."

Marty looked at him and smiled.

"What do you mean, like if she has a boyfriend or something?"

"Perhaps."

"Well she has mentioned a few guys before in passing, a Jacob and an Asher..."

Landon let out a laugh.

"That's nothing; they are just friends from Port Charles."

Marty nodded.

"Well then I have nothing, I mean sure before we suspected that we were related I think she had a crush on me and to be honest I kind of had a crush on her as well."

"You did."

Marty nodded.

"But I can tell it was fate that we were related I mean I can tell by the way you look at her that you like her."

Landon smiled and let out a sigh.

"Yes, I have, I've loved her since I realized girls aren't icky I mean she's beautiful and smart and has the voice of an angel and I'm pathetic aren't I."

Marty shook his head.

"I don't think you're pathetic at all."

It was in that moment that Kenzie came down the stairs.

"Why would Landon be pathetic Marty?"

Marty looked over at his cousin whose blonde hair was curled and pined back with the same silver clip from the play as she wore a beautiful white dress with a matching faux fur shall.

"Wow, you look like an Angel Kenz."

Kenzie blushed at Landon's complement as her father came down the stairs. His hair was brushed back and he was dressed in a designer suit.

"So, is my date ready?"

"Yes daddy," she said kissing his cheek as the older man looked over at the two teenage boys.

"Landon, Marty behave yourself and if you have any problems I'll have my cell on vibrate or you can always call on the wives."

The boys nodded as they watched father and daughter leave.

"Phew that was close."

"Yea, you almost confessed how much you looooooooooooo-ved my cousin."

Landon slugged Marty jokingly as the two boys flopped on the couch to see what was on TV

--

The sisters returned to the home and Maxie came out of the bathroom.

"Ok, so in an hour we will find out if Spinelli and I are going to have baby number two."

"If you are you'd be so lucky, I mean now that Dillon and I are well in the clear I think it's about time we had another kid."

"Your crazy Georgie, I mean I'm forty, I'm about to open my own boutique and in two years Kenz will be off at University god willing. And besides Spin and I always use protection...well."

"Well what Maxie."

She made a sheepish grin.

"There was this one time, a couple of weeks ago, Kenz was at rehearsal and I had just sent a mock up of my final issue to Clarisse who was taking over the magazine and well...let's just say that for a guy of forty Spinelli took me places I've never been before."

Georgie made a face.

"Man I am getting a visual and I don't like it."

"Georgie stop being such a prude."

"If I were a prude Marty wouldn't be born."

"True...but anyway if I have another kid I think I would want it the total opposite of Kenz."

"What do you mean?"

Maxie gave her sister a dreamy look.

"A little boy with my icy blue eyes and his messy brown hair and again a perfect blending of both our personas."

Georgie let out a smile.

"You know I could picture him, brilliant beyond reason and a total gentleman to boot."

"Last of the true romantics that would be our little D.J."

"D.J," Georgie asked as Maxie smiled.

"Damian James Spinelli."

"Or it could mean Damian Junior."

"Yea, I never thought of that," Maxie said letting out a smile as the timer went off, "oh here it is, the moment of truth."

--

"So," Marty said as he lounged around with Landon, "how are you going to go about asking Kenzie if she likes you."

"I don't know, but I plan on doing it while I'm here in Oakfield, I mean that's why I came here in the first place."

"I have a thought, you should tell her on Christmas Eve you know...take her outside and hold her hand..."

Landon took mental notes as Marty gave him an idea that was the stuff movies were made of.

--

"The Show is amazing so far," Kenzie said as her and her father stepped out of the theater at intermission.

"I know it's not New York."

"Dad, I'm over that, anyway did I tell you Milo and Brooklyn are having a baby."

"Really, the former protector of the night and his Hollywood Girl are finally settling down for the simple life by having progeny of their own."

"That's what Ash said."

He nodded and smiled.

"I'm happy for that; I just hope my good friend is as happy as I am when I found out that I was having you."

"Even though you were so young and naive."

"But I grew out of that didn't I."

Kenzie smiled as her dad wrapped his arm around her and headed with her back into the theater to see the rest of the show.

--

"Maxie, what is the prognosis."

The older sister smiled and placed her hand on her stomach.

"Little DJ isn't a pipe dream after all."

Georgie clapped.

"Congratulations sis, so how are you going to break it to your husband and daughter, what if it's not a boy, and more important what will it do to your heart."

"I'll talk to Spin first and Kenz later, I'll think of a girls name but I can tell it's a boy, and I'll call Dr. Lee after the holiday."

Georgie nodded and gave her sister a hug.

--

The Next Day was December 23rd the day before Christmas Eve Day and the day things as they know it would all change yet again.

"Maximista," Spinelli said as he looked at his wife who was lying in bed, "you're looking much better."

"Well I feel better; Damian there is something I need to tell you."

"You're calling me by my given name so something must be serious."

She took a deep breath.

"Remember the night where spur of the moment we...well."

He nodded and grinned.

"The kids are downstairs Maximista; I mean I can send them to Wise Georgie and Film Guy's place if you wish..."

"What...no...No it's not that it's..."

"Maximista I can tell when something is wrong."

"Nothing's wrong...I'm fine it's just we are going to have another wee one as it were."

He looked her in the eyes before looking at her stomach.

"Seriously."

Maxie nodded as he threw his arms around her.

--

Downstairs the three teens were sitting around the tree hanging out while Landon and Kenzie tried to not spill how they felt about one another.

"So, how was the show?"

"It was great, I mean I didn't think that Oakfield Community Theater would compare to the prestigious New York Ballet but it did...anyway what did you guys do, stay out of trouble I hope."

"Well were not in the slammer so that's a good thing right."

Kenzie nodded as she messed with Landon's hair causing him to feel all fluttery inside.

--

Back at the Hornsby home Georgie and Dillon were sitting together alone.

"So she's pregnant."

Georgie nodded.

"Can she handle it?"

"She said that she would call Dr. Lee."

"So Kelly still practices at GH."

"Apparently, anyway she thinks that it's going to be a boy."

"Cool, I've always wanted a nephew."

Georgie smiled.

"So Dillon, do you think that now that our life is normal we can try for another kid."

"Georgie, we gave up normal when you died."

"You could have just said no."

Dillon laughed as he placed his hand on her belly.

"I didn't mean no, I just meant we are far from normal but we can fake it pretty damn good can we."

Georgie smiled as she gave him a kiss.

"Yes we can."
