Mac Scorpio sat behind his desk, hidden in his office. The only thing that could get him to leave and enter the world of Christmas cheer would be if his step-daughter, Maxie went into labor tonight. As long as she didn't, he could sit here, go over paper work and forget about everything that was missing from his life. Forget about how Felicia tossed him aside, forget how his brother was never around—at least he could be happy Robert was alive, unlike young Georgie.
A knock came on the door and Jamal Woods popped his head in, "Hey Commissioner, we have a young woman out here that wants to speak with you."
Mac sighed, "Let her in."
A moment later Mac was looking back down at the paper work when he heard the door shut. He was sure Maxie at snuck out of the hospital, to convince him to visit Georgie's grave tonight.
"Mac?"
Her voice gave him a chill that shot through his whole body before he looked up, dropping his pen when he saw her, "Georgie?"
She smiled and shrugged her shoulders to say yes, "Merry Christmas."
He pushed his chair back and looked at her, "How are you alive? This is real right?"
She nodded, "Yeah, just as real as Robert and Anna."
Mac hugged his step-daughter, "Tell me how this is real."
She pulled away, "I'm a WSB agent, they recruited me during the time of the serial killer and when I got attacked they used that as a way to keep me in very deep cover."
"Why are you here?"
"I come back to town every Christmas, I watch Maxie visit my grave. This year though I got a surprise."
"You can't just
barge in there!" Jamal's voice was accompanied by Frisco Jones
opening the door of Mac's office.
"Hey Mac!"
Mac rubbed his forehead, "Frisco? What the hell is going on?"
Frisco turned and saw Georgie, "Decided to tell him in person huh?"
Georgie nodded, "Yeah, I think it works better if you actually see me when I tell you I'm alive. Didn't you think so when I popped out at the cemetery."
"Wait, Frisco didn't know you were alive either?" Mac couldn't help but chuckle, "Wait does Maxie know?"
"Yeah, she does. She showed up at the cemetery, we had to take her back to GH." Georgie sighed, "Anyways, the reason I came out into the open now is I'm leaving the WSB."
Mac hugged her again, "I'm just glad that you're alive."
Another knock came at the door and Lucky Spencer popped his head in for a moment and then just stared.
"Mac, can I talk to you?" He finally asked as he looked down at his cell phone, reading the message Emily had sent him after she'd gotten into town.
"Can it wait?"
"Um, sorta. Though I think it's going to effect this." He looked at Georgie, "Georgie?"
"Hi Lucky." She smiled.
"Give me a few minutes and we can talk." Mac told him.
Lucky went back to his desk area and looked at his partner Jamal, "Tonight was going great, until like five minutes ago."
Jamal frowned, "Why, tell me the whole thing."
"Well Liz and I are going to give it another try. But let's just say if what I saw in the Commissioners office and what I know, I'm about to get chewed out big time for that Logan Hayes case."
"That was five years ago, what does that young woman have to do with anything?"
"That is Georgie Jones, Mac's Step-Daughter, one of the victims."
Jamal almost spit out his coffee, "Say what?"
Lucky nodded, "The thing is, we could never make Georgie's murder stick on the Logan Hayes so he didn't go to jail for that one, or for Emily's. But he did go for Leticia."
Jamal nodded, "Okay, what's the other problem."
Lucky leaned over the desk, "Emily is alive. I've known the entire time."
"You are in trouble man. Why bring it up now?"
"Cause Emily is back in town."
Jamal shook his head, "The miracles of Christmas. Crazy stuff happens on a night like tonight."
"Oh yeah, what happened with you?"
"Remember Alison Barrington?"
Lucky nodded, remembering the girl who kissed Juan at the Rave that he wished they'd never gone to.
"Ran into her at the mall earlier and she came to visit me while you were off reuniting with Liz."
"Wow, this is a crazy night. I wonder what else could happen."
Jamal leaned back in his seat, "It's still early, I'm sure something else could happen."
Mac came out of his office and went straight over to Lucky and Jamal, "So what did you need to tell me."
Lucky looked up feeling sick to his stomach, "Emily Quartermaine is alive as well."
Mac nodded, "She a WSB agent too?"
"Georgie's an agent?" Lucky realized this wasn't the time, "No, she was hiding cause Helena tried to kill her. I hid her, and she came back to town tonight and I figured you should know about it before everything gets crazy."
Mac nodded, "Well good thing we couldn't get the cases to stick in regards to their not really murders. I think we'll leave up announcing she's alive to the family, just as Georgie is doing though from the sounds of it Georgie has been around town tonight announcing she's alive."
Lucky smiled, "At least you know Maxie is safe in the hospital."
"Yeah, thank goodness for small favors." Mac looked at the two, "Get out of here. I'm sure both of you would rather be somewhere else."
"Really?" Jamal was ready to bolt, he wanted to go by the bar and surprise Alison.
"Yeah, it's Christmas. Go be Merry." Mac turned back to his office and smiled after he closed the door, it would be a Merry Christmas, everything was starting to fall into place again.
Jamal stood outside the bar across from the hospital and inside he could see Alison. His heart raced as he watched her laughing and chatting with their old friends. He took a deep breath and went inside, immediately he decided to act like nothing was odd about this as he went over, kissed her on the cheek and said hello.
Lucky Spencer entered his apartment and looked at the bag of things he still needed to wrap. He knew that Liz was already asleep and for now he would prepare for tomorrow. His chance to get back the family he once lost but if he could get them back he was going to hold on with everything he had.
Mac Scorpio looked at the picture he had on his desk of his three girls. None of them were his daughters' but he raised all three and he was proud of all of them; Robin, Maxie and Georgie. Knowing that he had all three in his life, made this the best Christmas ever.
