Chapter 19: My Brother Has My Back
Alex and Mason had walked all the way to Gigi's home nervously not sure as what to expect from Gigi but had the comfort of Mason being there with her. Alex walked into the bar and then took a look around. Alex was in a way shocked but didn't jump to anything. "Gigi." Alex said gaining Gigi's attention.
"Get out of here Alex, you're not welcome here." Gigi said and then started spitting out insults and curses toward Alex.
Alex stood there taking it, not in the mood for an argument and then spoke once Gigi was finished. "Gigi, I can see you're busy drinking yourself to death but where is your daughter?" Alex asked hoping that Gigi's daughter is just asleep and Gigi is taking advantage of it but that sadly wasn't the case.
"She is upstairs somewhere." Gigi hiccupped and then continued. "Why do you care Russo, you killed the father." Gigi then took another big gulp of beer and then put the cup down.
Before Alex could say anything, crying could be heard upstairs and then decided on one last magic use. She used her magic and made a recorder appear in her pocket and then turned it on and ran upstairs ignoring Gigi's screams at her telling not to go upstairs. Alex made it upstairs and found the place a mess with bed sheets spread all over the floor, broken lamps, glass shattered on the floor and things all out of place. Alex then saw her niece on the ground and on her back. Alex, as quick as she could, rushed over and picked up the child. "You poor child." The child is still crying her eyes out scared and confused. Then Gigi walked into the room. "How dare you leave your child lying on the ground without anyone here to look after her." Alex snapped.
"Give me my child back Alex, you have no right to hold her after what you did." Gigi screamed.
"You're in no condition to hold your own child Gigi and until you are, I'm taking her back home with me." Alex said angrily.
"You have no right to take my child from me Alex so hand her back." Gigi screamed in a drunken tone.
"You're drunk Gigi, you left your own child on the floor alone in a room with glass broken all over the floor. You're lucky that she can't crawl yet or she may not be alive right now." Alex screamed back at the drunken woman.
"I don't care what my room looks like Alex, she is my child and if she dies then all well." Gigi said which set Alex off.
Mason walked into the room at that point and then Alex handed the child over to him and then walked over to Gigi. "You don't even care if she dies." Alex then slapped Gigi across the face. "You won't have her for very long." Alex then grabbed onto the child and then teleported home. When she appeared at home, she turned off the recorder and then saw something that she couldn't believe. Alex fumbled backward from the startle and then landed on the couch. "J…Ju…Justin, you…you're a ghost."
"Yes Alex I am and as a result, I have no need for magic. What happened Alex, the last thing I remember is you winning and then nothing. I woke up a ghost and I'm lost and confused." Justin said looking around his home. "Who is this?" Justin smiled seeing the crying infant.
"You don't remember at all?" Alex asked and all Justin did was shake his head. "This is your child Justin." Justin's eyes grew wide at hearing this. "I took her from your wife." Justin then started to get that frustrated look on his face that Alex used to love to see. "You married Gigi Justin, and she is willing to let her die. Gigi doesn't care and so I took her and I intend to take her as my own since Gigi isn't responsible enough."
Justin had to laugh at hearing this. "Sorry Alex, but you're not that responsible either." Justin said with a slight smile on his face.
"Justin, trust me when I say that I am far more responsible then I used to be." Just then Jerry, Theresa, Juliet, Max, and Mason came into the room. "I will take care of her Justin." Alex said holding the child close.
"I guess I'll have to, I just wish that it could have been Juliet, not that witch Gigi." Justin said.
"There's my Justin." Justin then flipped around in shock. "Hi Justin."
"Juliet, what, how, when did?" Justin said unable to get a complete sentence out.
"You're brother Max brought both Mason and I back. However you were a nutcase when I found you and Alex had become more of the role model type. I know, it shocked me too." Juliet said running over to Justin.
"I'll explain everything to you Justin." Alex said and then sat down holding her niece who is still crying. Alex took an hour and a half to explain things.
"Alex, I give you permission to take her from Gigi but you know that you'll have to take it to child services." Justin said with a smile. "I have no doubt that you'll pull it off." Justin laughed and then looked at his sleeping child. "Thank you Alex, and I guess that I had better go now. I have a bone to pick with a certain boogieman." Justin said with a smile on his face.
"I love you Justin." Alex said.
"I love you too Alex and thanks for ending my life. I don't know what I would have done if I had killed you." Justin started to leave and then thought of something. "Did you read my journal page Alex." Alex nodded and so Justin continued. "I'm proud to call you my sister Alex, never forget that." Justin then disappeared.
Three days later and child services took the small child and gave her to Alex. Alex was then given permission to give the child a new name if she wished. Alex nodded and then went and got her name changed not that she ever new the child's name to begin with. "I think I'll name her Juliet. Justin wanted Juliet and so this is one way I can make him happy." Alex picked up Juliet and hugged tightly. 'I will never let anyone hurt you.' Alex whispered into Juliet's ear.
"Alex, let's talk." Mason said and Alex nodded and walked with Mason. Mason took Juliet from Alex and set her gently on the couch of her parent's home. "Alex." Mason said getting on one knee. "Will you marry me?"
Alex, still not one to scream at something exciting like this said one thing. "Yes Mason, I will but first." Alex said and then turned to Max. "I give this to you Max." Alex pulled out her power and gave it to Max. "I want nothing to do with magic. It's caused way too much trouble, pain, and sadness."
Alex went on to get married and even learned to forgive herself, the bar was shut down, Max joined Kelbo in the things that he does, and Gigi, well, she has been sent to jail for multiple problems with the law. Alex, though doesn't have Justin around her anymore, goes to the cemetery to talk to Justin and ask him for help. Justin is now more then happy to help her with any problem she has including haunting enemies of hers. Justin and Alex became even closer through the years and little Juliet grew into a young woman and was happy to go to the cemetery anytime, just to see her father. Even in death, Justin always managed to have Alex's back, when he could. He couldn't help with physical things but he helped when he could.
Oh and as for Juliet the vampire, well she is living in the cemetery with Justin. AS for Gigi, well things couldn't happen to a meaner person. "Move it cadet." Gigi whined as she was forced to run around a track. "Good times." Bailey said with a smile seeing Gigi run around obstacles and being unsuccessful at it.
