Epilogue-Jesse walked up to Maxie's Hospital room he was confident but still afraid of how she would react.
He slowly opened the door to see an awake Maxie with Elizabeth in there. Maxie looked up and Jesse showing no facial expressions. "Excuse me can I have some time alone to talk to her?" Jesse asked Elizabeth.
Elizabeth looked at Maxie for her consent "it's okay Liz." Maxie said then Liz finished what she was doing and exited the room.
Jesse slowly walked over to Maxie's bed and sat down. He looked at her with his gleaming eyes.
"I'm sorry," they both said simultaneously
Maxie smiled at Jesse "You go first."
Jesse looked up at her.
"Maxie, I was stupid, and drunk and I know that's no excuse, but it's the best I got. I hate that I put you through this hell. I hate that I made you go through half this pregnancy without me by your side. I hate what I did to you, and when I think about it, it makes me sick." Jesse said
"Jesse, I should have told you about the pregnancy, then we would have gone through this whole thing a long time ago and everything would be good." Maxie said
"You had every reason to keep it from me, I cheated on you Maxie, and it was the biggest mistake of my life, and I regret that day every second I wasn't with you, When I found out you had been kidnapped again, My heart sank and I knew I had to save you. When I went into that control room and saw you helplessly on the ground I saw my own life flash before my life, Because Maxie I don't know how I survived those 4 months without you and there is no way I could have survived my whole life without you." Jesse said almost in tears
"Jesse the whole time I was gone I was thinking about you, wondering if you were looking for me, Waiting for you to come and be my hero once again, Wondering if I'd ever see you again and as much as I tried to get you out of my head and focus on saving myself…I couldn't Jesse I realized out there that those 4 months without you were the worst times of my life and I thought to myself that I had to get out of there one way or another so I can see you again and tell you, tell you that I love you." Maxie said
Jesse smiled hearing the three words he loved most coming out of her mouth. He looked back at his beautiful woman in her glistening eyes "god, Maxie, I love you too, so much and I never stopped and I never will." Jesse smiled as his eyes started to sparkle with his tears of joy.
Jesse reached into his pocket playing around with the black velvet box. He slowly grasped it gently.
"Maxie, god this is not how I wanted to do this but there will never be a better time." Jesse said
Maxie looked at the love of her life baffled. "Jesse what do you mean?" Maxie asked
Jesse got out of his chair and got down on one knee so his face was about level with hers. He took a hold of her hand and slowly pulled out the box and opened it ever so slowly
Maxie smiled realizing what was happening.
"Maxie, I love you with all my heart, and I can not imagine my life without you. My life was so dull before I met you and you gave me a reason to live my life. Maxie Jones Will you marry me?"
Maxie had the biggest smile she ever could possibly put on she took her hand and wiped away a fallen tear "Of course I will Jesse."
Jesse smiled his big handsome smile and slowly slipped the ring onto her finger. He stood up and leaned in and gave Maxie a long passionate kiss. Oh how Jesse had longed to kiss her warm lips again.
Maxie kissed the man she loved so much back. She missed kissing him on a daily basis. She was astonished at how one of the worst events of her entire life, was able to lead to the best day of her life.
The two were interrupted by the hospital door room opening and Mac coming in. Maxie immediately jumped to the defensive.
"Dad, oh, Um dad, alright you have to know something, I know you don't approve of Jesse, But I Love him and he loves me. As you probably already know, we are having a child together and we are going to spend the rest of our life together because he asked me to marry him and I said yes. Now I don't care what you think about it. It's going to happen with or without your approval." Maxie finished
Jesse looked back at Mac and Mac looked at Jesse the two smiled and laughed a little.
Maxie looked at the two puzzled. "Huh what's going on?" Maxie asked
Ignoring Maxie's questions Mac walked over to the two. "Glad you worked things out Jesse." Mac said as he gave his new soon to be son-in-law a handshake.
"Wait you knew about him proposing to me?" Maxie asked totally bewildered
"Yea, I knew, I knew 4 months ago when he came to me for permission to take you hand in marriage." Mac said
"4 months you've been planning this?" Maxie asked
"Remember, when I came home that day, acting all happy, and you were trying to figure out why?" Jesse asked
"The night before Amanda showed up at our door." Maxie said
"I had come from your father's where I asked him for his permission to marry you, then everything happened." Jesse said
Maxie smiled at the newly found friendship between her father and her fiancé. Just then the three were interrupted once again by Dr. meadows entering the room.
"Hello, Maxie, Mac, Jesse." Dr. meadows said with a certain emphasis on Jesse's name. "Maxie, we need to check on the vitals and condition on baby Jones." Dr. Meadows said
Maxie looked at Jesse and then back at the Dr. meadows "Baby Beaudry" She corrected the doctor.
Dr. Meadows smiled at Maxie and looked down to see the rind on her finger. She smiled for she loved the happy endings.
2 months later: Courtroom, Alcazar's trail.
Jesse and Maxie walk into the courtroom and find their seats in the very first row. Maxie watched bored and yet still interested on what was going on. She watched as all different witnesses to take the stand including Courtney Cassadine, and testify. Finally Alexis Davis, Lawyer for the prosecuting announced "We'd like to call Maxie Jones to the stand"
Jesse gave Maxie a kiss "good luck" he said as she walked up the stand. She was sworn in and began to tell her story starting with the time Diego and Officer Murphy kidnapped her up to her rescue from the Alcazar yacht during her second kidnapping. Maxie was released from the stand after some easy questions from the defendant's lawyer. She looked over at Alcazar with his smirk on his face. She ignored him and sat back down in her seat.
"You see ladies and Gentleman of the jury. From these testimonies Lorenzo Alcazar was a horrible man who would stop at nothing to get what he wants. His Son Diego Sanchez-Alcazar was no different. But he died for his mistakes. You think Mr. Alcazar would learn from the death of his son what his lifestyle does to others. But he did not. He put poor Maxie Jones through hell, just like he did to Courtney Cassadine when she was pregnant with the child of Jason Morgan. We were unable to convict him for lack of evidence then, but now we have the proof and the chance to put this mad man behind bars, So make the right choice and Convict Mr. Lorenzo Alcazar and put him behind bars" Alexis said in her final statement to the jury.
The Jury was released to make their decision. Maxie and Jesse waited anxiously for the results of the Jury's sentence.
After a long wait the members of the jury came out. The one on the end of the row stood up and read the small paper. "In the case of Jones and the state of New York verse Mr. Lorenzo Alcazar we find the defendant Guilty and sentence him to life in New York State Prison"
There was a sudden sigh of relief over the crowd. The prosecuting side all stood up giving hugs and high fives. Jesse and Maxie stood up. "Hey I guess this whole getting kidnapped wasn't that bad after all, I'm fine, the baby's fine, we put a national crime organization leader behind bars and we are getting married." Maxie said then giving Jesse the biggest kiss of them all.
Mac came over to the couple "hey you two, the whole Force is having a party at the station, we finally got one of the biggest leaders in the Mob world, behind bars!"
Almost 4 months later: Scorpio House December 31, 2005. New Years Eve Party.
Maxie sat on the couch watching everyone get drunk and celebrating the New Year. She laughed as she saw Lucky completely wasted trying to Get Elizabeth to dance, when He could hardly walk himself. She saw her mom following behind everyone cleaning up messes that were being made. She looked over to see Georgie and Dillon dancing then She looked over to see a Bunch of cops and her father debating on the new replacement of D.A Durant. Her father and Jesse were both arguing that they mad the best decision by replacing him with Alexis Davis. But some other cops thought it would have been better to give Ric Lansing his old job back. Then there were the few who didn't care it was still in the Lansing family now only it is his wife.
Maxie watched as Jesse walked out of the group of disagreeing police officers and over to his fiancée. "C'mon why aren't you up and around?" Jesse asked
"It's kind of hard when you fat as a cow, and you ankles are swollen to the size of Antarctica!" Maxie said "Plus do you know how hard it is for me not to drink on New Years Eve. I'm almost a month overdue when the hell is this baby going to pop out of me?" She said as she took a sip of her sparkling cider
Jesse laughed. "c'mon there is about two minutes till midnight, Let's dance the last of this year away, and begin a new year with the two of us dancing." Jesse said
"I hate that you such a romantic!" Maxie said getting up
"You're only saying that because of hormones, you love my romantic-ness." Jesse smiled leading her to the dance floor
"Oh shut up and dance!" Maxie said as she put her arms around his shoulders.
The two began to dance their past life away and dance right on into their new life together forever.
Before long they heard everyone standing by the TV yelling out counting down the last ten seconds of 2005.
"TEN, NINE, EIGHT, SIX, SEVEN, FIVE, FOUR…"
Jesse leaned closer in and continued dancing through the screaming of numbers
"THREE…TWO…ONE…. HAPPY NEW YEAR!" they all yelled as Jesse's lips met maxis and they began their new year with a kiss. But the kiss was soon broken by Maxie pulling away quickly.
"What's the matter?" Jesse asked knowing something was up
"Jesse, my water just broke!" Maxie said
"What? You're kidding right?" Jesse asked
"No Jesse you need to get me to the hospital now!" Maxie said
"But Shit I've been drinking!" Jesse said
He jumped onto a nearby table "Is there ANYONE here who has not had a drink?" Jesse said getting everyone's attention no one replied until Dillon and Georgie came running over "We haven't why what's the matter?"
"Thank goodness! Maxie's water broke! Go get your car!" Jesse said
Dillon ran out and started his car as Jesse and Georgie helped Maxie outside.
They four finally arrived at the Hospital and Maxie was brought into the maternal ward. Dr Meadows was called in and she rushed into Maxie's room. Before long All of Maxie's family was there, most of them arriving by cab.
Jesse was in the delivery room holding Maxie's hand the whole time. Before long Dr. Meadows was holding a beautiful little girl in hr arms. She went and cleaned the child off. She returned with the child and handed over the little bundle of Joy to Jesse.
Jesse rocked the baby back and forth to stop it from crying. Slowly he handed the baby to Maxie. Maxie smiled. "Wow Jesse she looks just likes you." She said. Jesse looks at the baby. "Look at those blue eyes." Jesse said. "Well that she gets from the both of us." Maxie smiled. Without a doubt the baby resembled Jesse, The curly hair, the wonderful little smile. But the baby also had the wonderful blonde hair of her mother.
"Jesse what should we name her?" Maxie asked
"We need a name that fits her beauty." Jesse said.
"How about Abigail, I've always loved that name." Maxie said
"Abigail…hmm I like it, it sounds like a princess." Jesse said
"What about a middle name?" Maxie asked
"Well I actually thought of a Middle name the other night, and it is actually a family name." Jesse said
"Your family?" Maxie asked knowing he doesn't really like to talk about his family
"No, yours, I was thinking her Middle name should Be Barbra, After your cousin Barbara jean, Because if t wasn't for BJ, I would never have had the chance to meet you or fall in love with you or have this wonderful blessing of a child with you." Jesse said
"I love it Jesse, it's a perfect Idea, Abigail Barbra Beaudry" Maxie recited her name. To the child. "I think she likes it" Maxie said
Just then a nurse came in with a paper "Are we ready to sign the birth certificate?"
Maxie looked at Abby then over to Jesse "yes we are"
One month and 14 days later. Valentines day. Maxie & Jesse's Wedding
Maxie was in her dressing room, now in the dress, as a stylist is putting the finishing touches on her hair as Georgie and Mac and Abby walk in. Georgie carries baby Abby over to her mother. Maxie takes the child from Georgie and holds her tightly. "Hey sweetie pie." Maxie said playing with the small child.
"God I can't believe my big sister is getting married!" Georgie said.
"And you're my maid of honor." Maxie smiled at her. "So you should be out there getting everything to be perfect for me." She said
"Okay I get it," Georgie said taking Abby from her mother and bringing her out to Felicia to hold her during the ceremony.
Mac walked over to his little girl. "The whole town is out there Maxie, When did you become so popular?" Mac joked
"Every since I put Lorenzo Alcazar behind bars." Maxie joked back.
"Plus you and Jesse seem to be a future Luke and Laura of Port Charles and everyone wants the rights to tell their kids and their grandkids that they attended this wedding!" Mac continued to joke
"Well that's a great compliment dad, but I don't intend on becoming catatonic and leaving Jesse and Abby anytime soon." Maxie said
"You know what I meant, God Maxie, when did you grow up, I thought it was yesterday that you were that little girl running around at the parks, catching butterflies and going down the slide, Now look at you, you're a beautiful young woman with a beautiful child and your about to get married to the man of your dreams." Mac said. Then he reached into his pocket and pulled out a beautiful diamond necklace. "Your mother wore this on our wedding day, and now we both want to give it to you, and when Little Abby grows up you can give it to her on her wedding day." Mac said
Maxie started to become teary eyes. "Dad your going to make me mess up my make-up!" She joked. "Dad, it's beautiful, I love it." Maxie said
"Turn around" Mac said
Maxie turned and Mac put the necklace on her neck as she help up her hair. She turned back around "thank you dad!" She said as she gave him a hug and georgie walked in "The ceremonies about to start." She said as she retreated back out of the room.
Maxie put on her veil and linked her father's arm with her own. "You ready dad?"
"I think the question is Are you ready Maxie?"
"Ready as I'll ever be," Maxie replied
The two walked out into the main hall of the Church. Kristina Davis left the hall first as the flower girl then followed Brooklyn and Elizabeth then Georgie. Just then the "here comes the bride" Music started up and Maxie and her father began down the walkway to the front of the church. She saw Jesse standing there his blue eyes shining and his gorgeous smile gleaming.
The two were side by side now and they looked into each other's eyes deeply as they recited to words after the priest.
"Do you Jesse Beaudry take Maxie Jones to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do" Jesse replied not taking his eyes off of Maxie
"Do you Maxie Jones take Jesse Beaudry to be your husband?"
"I do" Maxie said Catching Jesse's gaze with her own
"With the Power invested in me by the state of New York I now pronounce you Husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride."
Jesse leaned in and gave Maxie a romantic kiss. They then turned around to the audience and everyone applauded. "Mac wasn't kidding when he said the whole town was here." Maxie whispered to Jesse. Jesse laughed as he saw Felicia bring Little Abby up to the couple. "Congratulations guys." She said handing Abby over to her father.
Maxie Looked at Jesse and Abby. She couldn't be happier. She was starting the new phase in her life, with the man of her dreams and the most wonderful gift he could have given her a beautiful little girl. All the heartache and problems of the past were just that, part of the past. The two exited the church to go start their life as Mr. & Mrs. Jesse Beaudry
