Michael was in the waiting room with everyone else. He walked over to his dad and Dante. He sighed and sat down.

"There has to be something that we can do."

Sonny shook his head. "We can't help her right now. You did all that we can do."

Michael nodded and then his eyes widened. "Maybe not...can I borrow the plane?"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Nathan was afraid to sleep. He thought that if he closed his eyes he would miss her waking up. He fully intended to be the first person that she saw. A knock came on the door and Nina stepped in. She smiled slightly and handed him a cup of coffee.

"Figured you needed this."

He nodded and took a sip. "Thank you."

She sat down next to him and looked at Maxie. "Felicia and Mac are in the cafeteria with Liesl and Lulu. How is she?"

"Same."

She placed her hand on Maxie's and smiled. "You know she told me that my shoes were too blah yesterday?"

He smiled a little. "No she didn't."

She nodded. "She said that I was too young to look like a grandma."

He laughed a little. "Sounds like her."

Nina smiled and then grabbed his hand. "She is never afraid to say what is on her mind. I hope if this baby inherits anything from her it's that. because you my friend have always clamed up on your personal thoughts."

He smiled. "Yeah. I want it to have her smile."

"With your eyes. Oh man that kid is going to break some hearts."

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Anna walked into the waiting room and spoke to Dante.

"How is Maxie?"

Dante sighed. "She's out of surgery but she's still critical. Nathan hasn't left her side."

She nodded. "Well our day just got a hell of a lot worse."

Dante stood with Sonny and Jason. Anna spoke frankly.

"Cesar has escaped."

They all looked stunned. Felicia and Mac stepped off the elevator and were filled in. Mac spoke quickly.

"How the hell did he get out of the hospital?"

"He crawled through the air vents. We have teams searching for him now."

Dante sighed. "What about Maxie and Nathan?"

"This is the safest place on Earth right now."

Dante strode past her and into the ICU. He knocked before walking into Maxie's room. Nathan and Nina glanced up. Dante sighed and looked at Maxie. He put a hand on her foot and spoke smiling.

"I know that you love attention but this is a little extreme."

Nathan cracked a smile. "I don't think she ants this kind of attention."

Dante nodded and looked at his partner. "Faison escaped."

Nathan and Nina were both on their feet in a flash. Nathan spoke through gritted teeth.

"What?"

"Anna just told us. He crawled out through the air vents...she has the WSB here and they are looking for him. He isn't getting out of Port Charles."

Nathan flopped back into the chair next to Maxie and shook his head.

"Will this ever be over?"

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Nathan hadn't left Maxie in almost twenty hours. Elizabeth walked in and checked Maxie's vitals before hanging more fluids. She then looked at Nathan.

"Don't take this personally but you look terrible."

He cracked a small smile. "Thanks."

Elizabeth looked at him carefully. "I know that I will not convince you to go home but I will say this, go get some fresh air. Just for a few minutes. Get something to eat. I promise I will stay in here with her and call you with the slightest change."

Nathan hesitated and Elizabeth smiled a little.

"Maxie wouldn't be happy if she knew that you were not taking care of yourself."

Nathan nodded and stood. He leaned over Maxie and spoke in her ear quietly.

"I'll be right back Baby. I love you."

He walked out of the room and went to get some air. Elizabeth sat down in his vacated seat and caught up on her charts. Meanwhile Michael Corinthos was leading a very confused little girl into the waiting room. Lulu saw and was stunned.

"Georgie?"

The little girl smiled and hugged her. "Hi Aunt Lulu."

Spinelli looked confused but hugged his daughter. "Hi there Little Girl."

Georgie giggled. "Michael brought me on Uncle Sonny's plane."

He chuckled. "Oh wow was it fun?"

She nodded. "Where's Mommy and Nathan?"

Spinelli knelt down and sighed. "Mommy is very sick little one...and she needs us to be really brave right now."

Georgie nodded and Michael spoke to Spinelli.

"I figured when she wakes up this will be the face she'll want to see with Nathan's. Ellie said it was okay..."

Spinelli nodded and hugged him. "This is so much more then any of us could have...Young Mr. Sir..."

Michael chuckled a bit. He then knelt down and smiled at Georgie.

"Do you want to go see your Mommy?"

She nodded. Michael grabbed her hand and led her down the hallway. He spoke to her softly.

"Now Mommy looks really sick but the doctors are working very hard to make her all better."

Georgie nodded. Michael walked in and Elizabeth looked a little taken aback.

"What is..."

Michael smiled. "This is Georgie. Maxie's little girl."

Elizabeth nodded. "I'll guard the door."

They both turned when Nathan came in. He looked better since he ate and went outside. He looked stunned when he saw his step-daughter. Georgie smiled and ran to him. He knelt down and hugged her tight.

"Hey there."

Georgie kissed his cheek. "You look like you need a nap."

Nathan chuckled. "I probably should."

Michael smiled. "I thought that Max would want to see her when she wakes up. I'll leave you guys alone."

Nathan nodded and mouthed "thank you" before sitting back in his chair and putting Georgie on his lap. The little girl reached her hand out and grabbed Maxie's. She smiled.

"Hi Mommy."

Nathan had to blink twice. He was stunned when he saw Maxie's eyes flutter open. He moved closer careful not to dump Georgie on the floor.

"Max?"

She looked over and smiled. She spoke in a croaky voice. "My two favorite people."

Georgie smiled. "I missed you Mommy."

"I missed you too."

Nathan took his free hand and placed it over Maxie's and Georgie's.
