Thanks for all of the positive reviews. I was really nervous about writing the proposal and I'm glad that everyone liked it. This chapter is basically a little filler chapter, setting up a few things that will play out along with all of the GQ stuff.
Benbrattlover: I'm glad you're liking the Nem, there is actually a lot of Nem in this chapter. =)
"Let me see it again," Maxie reached out and grabbed her sister's hand across the table.
"Maxie," Georgie groaned, pretending to be tired of all the attention her engagement ring was getting. The truth was she loved to stare at it more than anyone else did.
"I can't believe he kept it all this time," Emily marveled, taking a sip of her milkshake "It must have been awful just to look at it, thinking that you would never wear it."
"But I am," Georgie grinned.
The three girls laughed together at their table outside Kelly's. It had been two weeks since Dillon had proposed and since then, Georgie had been back in Port Charles working at the clinic. Dillon had assured her that she could keep her job. He planned on relocating back to PC and taking trips to the city only when they were necessary for business.
"So when is Dillon coming?" Emily asked.
"Couple of days, he just has to take care of some things."
The door to the restaurant opened and Elizabeth came out carrying her tray. She slowly sat each plate down, including one for herself and tossed the tray onto another table.
"Lunch break."
The girls talked amongst themselves for a few minutes and Georgie contemplated whether to tell Elizabeth the news she had learned in the city. Finally, when there was break in the conversation, she spoke up.
"Elizabeth, I need to tell you something. You might not care, I mean I would think that you wouldn't, I just thought you..."
"Em told me," Elizabeth nodded "And you're right, I don't care. Ric and Faith deserve each other. Lucky and I are so happy together and that's all that matters to me."
"Good."
"And you," Elizabeth grinned "Marrying Dillon, after all this time. Have you thought about the wedding yet?"
"A little," she nodded "I have some ideas, but we haven't even set a date yet."
"It's going to be amazing."
"How do you know?"
"Because it's you and Dillon."
Emily carefully pulled a couple of her favorite dresses out of her closet and lay them across the king size bed. Nikolas and she, along with Elizabeth and Lucky, were leaving for a cruise the following morning and she wanted to make sure she had everything packed. The idea of spending the last days of summer around a tropical island sounded like heaven to her.
"You know, we're only going to be gone a week," Nikolas smiled as he walked through the bedroom door.
"I know, but you have to be prepared."
He walked across the room and began to help her fold the clothes on the bed into her suitcase. She watched him with a smile.
"Have you thought anymore about what I said," she mentioned, trying her best to be casual "You know, about the baby?"
He sighed with a little smirk on his lips and turned toward her.
"Yes."
"And?"
"And, I think that we should have a baby."
"Really?" she squealed, practically jumping up and down with anticipation. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek.
"You know," she smiled up at him "This week would be the perfect setting..."
Georgie and Maxie sat on the floor of Maxie's apartment, carefully flipping through the bridal books Maxie insisted on buying at the store.
"I like this one," Maxie held up a picture of a too short, too low cut dress.
Georgie wrinkled her nose and quickly shook her head. She could definitely see her sister walking down the aisle in it but not her.
"I want something really simple."
"That's what they all say," she laughed "But you know they all are thinking that they want the biggest, fanciest, flashiest dress they can find."
Georgie opened another magazine that was all about catering and wedding cakes. She felt overwhelmed by all the choices she was going to have to make over the following months.
Knock
Maxie pulled herself off the carpet and rushed over to answer the door. When it was open, she let out a gasp that made Georgie look up.
"Maxie? Who is it?" she walked up behind her sister.
Then she understood the shock that was in Maxie's voice.
Kyle Radcliffe.
