Meanwhile, Maxie peeked into Jason's room. He was alone, for once, so she headed inside.
"Jason?" She whispered.
"Hello Maxie." Jason turned to face her. "How's Spinelli?"
"He's gonna be okay. How are you?"
Jason touched the bandage attached to his left shoulder. "I'm fine."
"You sure, or are you just being brave?"
Jason smirked. "And how are you?" He nodded toward her abdomen.
"I'm fine." She rested her hands over the baby. "So, you know."
"Robin told me."
"Are you going to try to keep us apart?" Maxie asked softly.
"The threat is gone. And I'll always have a guard on you."
Maxie nodded.
"Plus, eventually he'll start his P.I. business. I'm sure you'll help him with that."
Maxie grinned. "It is in his blood."
"What?"
"Mac just told us. Spinelli is Robin's brother."
Jason tried to push himself up, but groaned and settled back down. "Really?"
"Yeah. Uncle Robert is his dad."
"Wait, does that make you…"
"No. Frisco's my biological dad. Mac feels bad though, I could tell. He wishes he had known so he could have raised Spin too." Maxie giggled. "Sometimes I think Mac just likes to collect kids."
"So, I guess Spinelli's not in danger from Mac."
Maxie shook her head, and then jumped when Diane came in the door behind her.
"Sorry, Miss Jones."
"That's okay. I should be getting back to Spin."
"Tell him I'll be in shortly."
"Sure Diane. Bye Jason." She spun and headed out.
When she got down to Spinelli's room, she was shocked to see a police officer guarding the door. He checked a list and allowed her inside, where she found a flummoxed Spinelli being questioned by Lucky Spencer.
"Hey!" She yelled. "What do you think you're doing?"
Lucky jumped. "I'm just asking Spinelli some questions."
Maxie grabbed his arm and started pulling him outside. "He already asked for his lawyer, you can't ask him questions."
"Maximista…"
"No, Spin. He's not supposed to be in here." Maxie slammed the door in Lucky's shocked face.
"Maximista." Maxie spun around.
"What was Lucky doing in here? Why is there a cop outside? Why…"
"Maximista!" Spinelli yelled to get her attention.
"What?"
"Come here." Maxie walked over to the bed where he pulled her close to his face. "My Maximista must calm down."
She grinned and kissed him. "Sorry. What did Lucky want?"
"He was asking if the Jackal had heard from the Blond One and the Mob Prince."
"What did you tell him?"
"That I hadn't, as my Junior Fashionista well knows."
"Why is there a cop outside?"
"Because the Jackal is under arrest."
"What? Why?" Maxie stood up angrily and began pacing. "I can't believe Dad would do this to us."
"Maximista, please calm down. The Jackal is under arrest because of Comrade Karpov."
"Oh." Maxie sat down. "Well that makes sense I guess."
"You guess?" Spinelli laughed.
"Well, of course you're a person of interest. Did they say anything about bail?"
"I have not spoken to the brusque Lady of Justice."
"She's with Jason."
"How is Stone Cold?" Spinelli tried to sit up so Maxie leaned over to raise the bed.
"He's fine. Stop worrying about Jason. I'm worried about you."
"The Jackal is fine. How many times do I have to tell the Fair Maximista?"
"Spin." Maxie sighed. "I like to worry about you. Sometimes it's all I can do."
Spinelli pulled her hand. "Come here." He pulled her onto the bed. "You look tired."
"I'm fine." She laid her head on his shoulder and ran her fingers along his arm.
"The Jackal is sorry he worried you."
Their cozy scene was interrupted when Diane opened the door and strode inside.
"Mr. Spinelli…Oh! Sorry!" She shielded her eyes. "Everyone decent?"
"Yes, Ms Miller." Maxie laughed.
Diane lowered her hand. "Very well. I see that the two of you have made up."
"We weren't…"
"Yes, I know. Mr. Spinelli, I've arranged for your bail so when you are discharged from the hospital, you may return to the Penthouse, or wherever you may wish to go."
"Thank you." Spinelli told her.
"I'll be by in a few days to discuss the trial."
"Trial?"
"Yes, Miss Jones. Mr. Spinelli has been charged with accessory to murder, Mr. Morgan with murder." Diane left.
