Disclaimer- still don't own anything
A/N- Hey guys, I know the last chapter was pretty short, but I'm updating a bit fast now with this chapter, someone asked if any of my other fics are going to be Jexie, and yes I am working on some other Jexie fic ideas…Just keep a look-out…And here is Chapter 18…
Chapter 18
Mac sat there staring furiously at Monica & Jesse talking, how could Monica want to talk to Jesse, a mere boyfriend over Maxie's own father.
As he watched he saw an upset face on Jesse, he watched intently trying to figure out what the two were talking about.
Just then He saw Monica leave Jesse, Jesse stood there perfectly still staring off into space. Mac got up and marched over to the detective
"Beaudry tell me what the hell that was about!" Mac insisted
Beaudry broke out of his stare and looked at his superior blankly, He was still shocked from the news, unable to speak, to afraid to say anything he turned and began to walk away when Mac grabbed onto Jesse's arm and turned him back around
Georgie watched her father and her sister's boyfriend from a distance; She knew what Monica had told Jesse. Then she saw Jesse struggling for words and decided to intervene
She walked over and pulled her father's hand off of Jesse's arm.
"Georgie Don't get involved!" Mac said
"Dad, I don't want to, But Whatever Monica told Jesse, was obviously between the two of them, If Jesse finds it necessary to tell you he will, when he feels right, So don't take out your energy and Anger on Jesse! Even If he has done some shit things in the past I think about now he's realized them!" Georgie yelled
"I don't like you speaking to me like that Georgie, and we don't know what Monica told him, She is my Daughter Georgie, I want to know what's going on with her!" Mac said
"If she is your daughter and you do love her, She wouldn't want you sitting here yelling at her boyfriend, She'd want you over there, Comforting her mother, who is obviously scared just as much as the rest of us, So dad please, think of Maxie and how she would like you to act" Georgie said, with a much more hush loving tone this time
Mac stood there for a moment looking at his daughter who has grown up so much over these past years, and the man he gave permission to marry his other daughter. Then he hesitantly answered "Fine, but I'm not happy about it!"
Mac gave his daughter a kiss on the forehead and headed over to the couch to be with his wife.
Jesse looked up at Georgie "You know?" he asked
"I have since she realized it, and I've been with her for the whole 5 months." Georgie said
"Five months? God I'm such a moron all the times I saw her in the hospital, I did notice she was getting a little heavier but never enough to make me think she was pregnant, until right before I found her."
"Well she was hiding it well, wearing big sweatshirts and all…wait did you say right before you found her?" Georgie asked
"Yea, Well I had this dream the night before we left of me and Maxie on our wedding day and then a little girl came running up to us saying 'Mommy, Daddy' and then I got to thinking and I suspected maybe she was, but it totally left my mind ever since then." Jesse said
"Well it looks like you got yourself a nice intuition there." Georgie joked "But anyway it still doesn't make sense what did Monica have to talk to you about the baby for?" She asked
"I'd rather tell you whole family at once." Jesse said in a low voice
"Alright then do you want to tell them now?" Georgie asked
Jesse stood there thinking for a moment "Yea, they deserve to know." Jesse said. Georgie turned and began to walk toward her mother & her father before Jesse stopped her "Hey Georgie, wait, I just want to…I want to say thank you" Jesse said
Georgie turned and smiled "what for?"
"For being there for her, during it all, and helping her through it." Jesse said
"Hey Buddy She is my sister I would have been the one helping her through it even if you were around." Georgie replied
"Yea, but you wouldn't have had to deal with as much if I wasn't an asshole to her."
"Yea probably true, But you would have needed me anyway, you wouldn't be able to take all that morning Sickness!" Georgie said
They both smiled and laughed a little and walked over to the waiting room side by side.
They reach the waiting room to see Mac and Felicia lying down on the couch Felicia in tears and Mac comforting her. When they saw Jesse & Georgie walked over Felicia wiped away her tears and the two-sat upright onto the couch.
Jesse looked at the two and Mac looked back intently at Jesse "I don't really know how to say this besides just coming out with it, Maxie…Maxie's Pregnant" Jesse said
Mac Stood there frozen taking in what Jesse had just said. Felicia burst into tears at the though of not only losing her daughter but her first grandchild she'd ever have.
"WHAT? Beaudry…How the hell did you let this happen?" Mac yelled
"Hey Mac, Do you want me to get into details? Or should I just continue with what Monica asked me?" Jesse replied
"Continue…" Mac said in a huffed voice giving Jesse a deathly stare
"There is this experimental surgery that's been around for a couple years, but the surgery is still in its experimental stage. The results of all the tests have been relatively pleasing." Jesse said trying to sound as casual as possible although he just wanted to break down and cry right there.
"Relatively?" Felicia asked looking up with her tear filled eyes
"Actually the results have been outstandingly good in all cases, except the some cases… where the mother is pregnant." Jesse finally got the words out
"What does that mean Beaudry?" Mac asked
"If they perform this surgery there is a 70 chance of Maxie loosing this baby none of us knew about." Jesse spitted out "Monica needed permission from the child's father to proceed with the surgery." He finished
There was a momentary silence. Felicia buried her crying eyes in Mac's side. Georgie looked at her father then at Jesse. The silence was broken by Mac's voice not even looking up he asked, "What did you say?"
"What?" Jesse asked astounded that Mac would even ask, He thought he made it quite obvious what he had told Doctor Quartermaine.
"Commissioner Scorpio, I love your Daughter with all my heart…I understand I was a complete ass to her once, But I've have 4 months of loneliness to think about it. As much as I would Love to have a child with Maxie, I would never choose that over the love of my life!" Jesse said
Georgie looked at Jesse proud of him for standing up to her father. Happy of his decision to save her sisters life.
"I'm Sorry Jesse, for everything, you've made it quite evident that you love Maxie for who she is, and I understand people make mistakes, I just hope Maxie can realize this too." Mac said
The four people stood there looking at each other happily, If Maxie makes it through this, and maybe they could just be one happy family. Jesse thought about what it would be like to have these people as his family, he smiled thinking about the dysfunctional Christmas's and thanksgivings and every holiday under the sun, that he would be spending with these people. He laughed softly he knew he'd have the time of his life, not only with these people but the woman of his dreams, Maxie.
Interrupting His thoughts was Dr. Monica Quartermaine.
"Jesse, Can I speak to you in private?" Monica asked
Jesse looked around at Mac, Felicia & Georgie then turned back to Monica "No Monica, anything you need to tell me, you can tell Maxie's family." Jesse replied
Monica looked at Jesse to make sure this is what he wanted "Alright, well we have news on Maxie's condition." Monica said
Georgie afraid of what was about to come grabbed onto Jesse's hand and squeezed it tightly.
"Well we preformed the Surgery, It seems to have gone successful…Even with the baby. The little one in her stomach is still resting soundly." Monica said
A sigh of relief came over the four Georgie let go of Jesse hand and gave him a huge hug instead then she ran over to her mother and father and hugged them as well.
"Now, now, settle down, Maxie seems to be stabilized, but the baby is still at risk, we need to keep her in the hospital for at least 72 hours monitoring the baby's vitals, but as of now, you guys seem to be in the lucky 30 " Monica finished
Jesse couldn't stop smiling he was so happy, he tried to calm his content down because of fear of losing this baby all over again.
"Monica could we go see her?" Mac asked
"Yes, but I suggest only one at a time, and don't over work her, stress could be very harmful to the chance of this baby living." Monica said
"Of course." Mac said as Monica exited the waiting room.
Mac stood there momentarily as no one moved "Beaudry, What are you still doing here?" Mac said
Jesse looked up slightly confused
"Go in there and make things right with Maxie!" Mac said
Jesse smiled a big handsome smile "Thank you Mac." Jesse said as he turned around and headed toward Maxie's room
"Jesse, Wait!" Mac yelled Jesse turned around and looked at Mac calling his name
Mac turned to the couch and went through Jesse's jacket pocket and pulled out a small black velvety box and tossed it over to Jesse.
Jesse caught it immediately and looked down to see the Box, he opened it slowly to show the ring he had bought Maxie 4 months back. He looked up at Mac and smiled at him, Mac smiled back.
Jesse turned back around confidently with a gorgeous big smile on his face. He started walking high & tall toward Maxie's room, to go make things right, To go get the love of his life back, to tell her how sorry he was, to have her become his wife.
A/N- Dun Dun Dun lol yes I know I love that ending for some reason, lol, It was pretty much a fluff chapter….This is where I'd normally end my fic…But I'm so in love with this one….that I'm not going too, I'll probably make a chapter about what happens in her hospital room (aka the proposal) and Most likely a chapter about the wedding, And maybe about the baby's delivery…or I might just condense it all into one loooong chapter called the epilogue! Lol, u people decide if you want to, I'm up for suggestions on how to bring it to an end
