Chapter 19

At the same time the Morgan jet was landing in Port Charles, the O'Briens were starting their day. Johnny woke up first and just watched his wife as she slept. When Francis got married he said that when he woke up the next morning he felt different, and to be honest Johnny wasn't sure he believed that. The only thing that had changed between Francis and Diane was the exchanging of rings. They didn't move, and she didn't even change her name so why would they feel differently.

This morning he got it. This morning when he woke up with his wife snuggled close he felt complete. Like last night was the moment that his life really began. Like he had a reason to be a better man. Family was not something Johnny had in spades. Everyone who meant anything to him was here in Port Charles. Georgie was at the heart of everything. So to know that she wanted to spend her life with him was really all he needed.

"Morning." Georgie said with a sleepy smile.

"Morning." Johnny grinned back. They were staying in because it had been a very late night. After the ceremony they had been invited into the mansion for a champagne toast with their friends. He'd had a hard time keeping his focus on the conversations around him because his eyes kept straying to where Georgie was smiling with Maxie. Everyone had their cameras and he was looking forward to reviewing the photos that those gathered had taken. Spinelli still had the video saying he wanted to edit and clean it up. That should arrive at some point today.

When they came home Johnny turned on the sound system and they spent some time dancing with one another. The first song he pulled up was The Way You Looked Tonight. Georgie's radiant smile said that she very much approved of his choice.

"We got married last night." She said smiling wider. They had kissed at midnight, which was a wonderful way to start the new day.

"We did." Johnny said chuckling. "I can easily say that yesterday was the best day of my life."

"Mine too." Georgie said snuggling closer. "I'm Georgianna O'Brien now. I can't wait to change my name. On my checks, credit cards, at the post office, and of course at work. Dr. Georgianna O'Brien. My initials are G.O.B. Like gob, as in you are gob smacked because something is just so awesome." She said being silly. "I kind of like that."

Johnny just laughed as she went down her list.

"I will need to get new business cards, and I have to make sure I change my email address." Georgie rolled over.

"Where are you going?" Johnny wanted to know.

"Just grabbing a note pad." She said reaching in her nightstand. She sat up and started a list. "I want to make sure that I don't miss anywhere that my name needs to be changed." The light from the bedside lamp glinted off her rings and she wiggled her fingers. "Last night, and this morning were both perfect." She said leaning over and kissing him letting her lips linger.

"I think so too." Johnny was enjoying right now as well. His girl was wearing his t shirt from last night, and he knew that she didn't have anything on underneath it. "You were more beautiful than I have words to describe." He said paying her a compliment. "Maxie was surprised at my choice of dress." He said mentioning his sister in-law. "Apparently she missed the fact that I do pay attention to the things you like."

"I think the fact that you could plan that ceremony, and not kill her is the best wedding present ever." Georgie leaned back against the headboard. She was still blown away that he did that for. It was perfect, every single moment. "I told Monica that I would be coming back to work tomorrow." There hadn't been time to discuss this before now.

"That's fine. I would like to take you away later in the year for a proper honeymoon. Anywhere you want to go." Johnny let her know.

A slow smile came to her face. "I'd love to go to Ireland."

"The last three vacations we've taken have been to Ireland." He pointed out. She loved his native land. Having been away from it for so long Johnny had come to find that he liked it now too. When he left he never would have believed that was possible. "I was thinking somewhere tropical. Where bikinis are necessary. Or no swimwear if you'd rather."

Nude beaches didn't scare Georgie. "What about visiting Bora Bora? I've never been there and it's supposed to be wonderful. Have you been?"

"No, I've never been there." Johnny would need to do some research. As long as it was somewhere they could stay safe then he would happily take her. "Look at your work schedule and let me know when I can plan our time away."

Georgie just nodded. "You can turn the radio on." Most mornings Johnny got ready listening to the local news station. She knew he didn't have it playing because they would be talking about Diego.

"I don't want to let the real world in just yet." Johnny said leaning over and giving her a soft kiss. "It's over, for real this time." He said quietly.

"I know." Georgie said taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly. "It was a shock to learn he was alive, and before I could even fully process that he was dead. So I can let it go." Diego wasn't going to be allowed to creep back into her psyche and rob her of her happiness. "Breakfast?"

"I have something special planned." Johnny was having the morning meal delivered. Today was going to be all about spoiling his wife.

The newspapers in Port Charles were having a field day with the end of the TMK killing spree. The morning editions all had Diego glaring from their front page, courtesy of his mug shot. Not even two hours later the extra editions starting showing up at newsstands. It was Edward Quartermaine's paper that snagged the scoop of the day. As the story unfolded there would be enough to go around, but on the morning the story broke Edward was the big winner.

It was the story in his paper that Robin was sitting in her lab looking at. She had taken the paper from the lounge when she went to get some coffee. After her first glance the desire for a drink was gone, all she wanted to do was hide. The door to the lab was locked and despite several folks knocking that hadn't changed. Even when Monica stopped by.

Maxie wasn't going to be put off. After Robin ignored her, she went down to security and got the spare key to the door. "Why are you sitting locked in your lab?" The pushy blonde demanded.

"I didn't want to talk to anyone." Robin told her cousin. "My picture was on his phone. He was following me." She turned her stool to look at the other woman. "I was apparently next on his list after Gina. My phone number was in his contacts." Considering that it was unlisted that left her feeling vulnerable.

Maxie walked over and sat on the empty stool next to Robin. "He was stopped before he even got a chance to send you a message."

"I didn't know he was there." Robin said shivering hard. "I pride myself on knowing my surroundings and I had no clue that I was being followed." She pointed to the paper. "On at least four occasions." Each photo the paper displayed had the doctor in a different outfit. The caption read the photos were from Diego's phone. "How close did he get to me?"

Five different things went through Maxie's brain at lightning speed. All were rejected. "I truly suck at the whole comforting thing." Was what she finally said. "Georgie's wedding was at the worst possible time, although she looked really amazing last night. Johnny has been good for her, even if he is a bit of tight ass. She would know what to say to you."

"Do you think he knew?" Robin asked folding the paper in half. She was tired of looking at herself.

"He'll never admit it if he did. I find it odd that Diego was taken out while attacking someone who works for the mob guys." Maxie said with a one shouldered shrug. "Also I can't imagine a situation where Diego is in town and Johnny doesn't know about it. He is all about keeping my sister safe. I'm just glad Georgie wasn't targeted. If they did know, and they set Diego up you owe them your life. I wonder what you will have to do as payment." Maxie mused.

Robin didn't say anything at first. "They had to have known. The timing of the wedding makes more sense now."

"Maybe they will make you go back to Paris." Maxie said still thinking out loud. "You could take me with you. Rent is outrageous there and as a doctor you could rent us a great little unit. I, of course would work in Crimson's European office, which is in Paris."

"You do suck at comforting people." Robin said getting to her feet. "I don't want to leave Port Charles."

Maxie just arched a brow.

"Its home. I grew up here which is why I wanted to return. Jason was just a bonus." Robin wasn't going to lie about him being a factor. "You and Georgie are here. Uncle Mac was here, and he is talking about possibly coming back." During their last call he admitted to missing all the girls.

"I don't think things with Felicia are working out." Maxie tried not to say bad things about her mother. She had tried to talk her dad out of moving to Texas, there was a reason they got a divorce. "Frisco is down there now, so I wouldn't be surprised if dad came back. Who could we set him up with? He's too amazing to sit in the house."

"Lucy Coe is single again." Robin said laughing.

"While I do admire the fact that she is running her own cosmetic company, I don't think she is what Mac needs in a girlfriend. Lucy is way too high maintenance." Maxie told her cousin as she got to her feet.

"No you did not just say that." Robin said stunned.

"It takes one to know one." Maxie said brightly. A knock on the door had them both turning.

"I wanted to check that you were okay." Patrick was standing in the doorway.

"I'm going to go see if Matt is free." Maxie said picking up her purse. When she was behind Patrick she made the call me symbol before giving the thumbs up.

"Your cousin doesn't realize that pretty much everything in the lab is reflective, does she." Patrick had seen the younger woman.

"No." Robin said trying not to be mortified. "I'm fine. Thank you." She felt really awkward, like she had back in high school when a cute boy talked to her. It was so odd that Patrick brought this feeling out of her.

"I was wondering, if you'd have dinner with me some night?" Patrick wasn't going to fight it. Clearly he was attracted to Robin. He had no idea why. But he was going to trust that the universe knew what it was doing. She couldn't be any worse than his last girlfriend.

"Okay." Robin had gotten a nasty shock this morning and a wake-up call. She thought her illness was the biggest threat she lived with, but that wasn't the case. So she was going to do better. Dinner with a smart attractive man was a good place to start.

"Tomorrow night?" Patrick was off.

"Sounds great. Let me give you my address." She wrote it down. "Six-thirty?"

"I'll be there." Patrick said putting the paper in his pocket and walking from the office. Never had asking a woman out on a date left him feeling confused. He had no idea how this was going to turn out.

In her lab Robin just shrugged. "Weirdest day ever." She said getting back to work.

"My grandbabies are here." Monica said walking into the front room of the parlor. "And I don't have to fight Em to get to them." The surgeon said getting a hug from Cameron.

"We went to Seattle, Nana." He let her know. "Daddy had to see a different doctor."

"I know, did you have fun?" Monica asked grinning at how Cameron was addressing Jason. She was holding the little boy's hand as she walked over and plucked Jake off of his father's lap. In Alan's favorite chair she got both boys comfortable.

"Yeah. We went swimming, and to the museum, and daddy took me to the movies." Cameron let her know. "He said we can go again now that we are home. We got a new house too!"

"Well it just sounds like the two of you had a great time." Monica said giving both boys kisses. "Hello."

"You did see us when you walked in." Jason said being smart. "I wasn't sure."

"You're not as cute as my grandsons. Liz yes, you no." Monica said with a wide smile.

Liz laughed at the scowl on Jason's face. Lila was also laughing. "How was your lecture?" Elizabeth wanted to know.

"Good. We had a lively debate on the merits of absorbable versus non-absorbable sutures." Monica told her colleague. "Then someone brought up surgical glue and I thought a fist fight was going to break out." Surgeons were creatures of habit. Some still refused to even contemplate the use of the glue. Monica made the call as to what to use when she had her patient on the table. "When do you see Patrick again?"

"I haven't made the appointment yet." Jason told his mother. "I figured I'd drive Elizabeth in tomorrow and do it then." He would take pains to avoid the neurosurgeon because he suspected that Patrick was going to be annoyed after Elizabeth served notice.

"Patrick is off tomorrow. I'm sure he'll be sorry he missed you." Monica saw them exchange a look. "What?"

"I'm serving notice tomorrow." Liz didn't want to blindside Monica.

"Not surprising. I'll be sorry to lose you." Monica had seen this coming. Liz was good at her job, and she enjoyed it. However the Chief of Staff had watched Liz grapple with the guilt that came from having to miss so many moments of her boys' lives. Also Jason wouldn't want Liz at the hospital. "We'll be able to rehire Nadine which will help."

"I talked to her about getting her Nurse Practitioner certification." Liz passed along.

"She would be outstanding in that position. I could use someone as good as she is at the clinic." Monica was still hoping that at some point Liz would come back to work. After another grandchild. "Are you going to do continuing education classes?"

"I'd like to." Liz was thinking that when they finished having children and they were all in school full time she would go back to working in some capacity.

"Can I talk you into going to medical school?" Monica thought Liz had the makings of a great doctor.

"No." Liz shook her head. "Still not something I'm interested in pursuing." It just wasn't her calling.

"Will you paint?" Lila wanted to know.

"I'd like it if you took time to do that." Jason told her.

"I plan on getting back into my art." Liz confirmed. "I might even look into incorporating my art into my medical work when I return."

"Anything else you'd like to share before I ignore you completely?" Monica asked smiling wide. She really did miss the boys.

Jason smiled wide as he linked his fingers with Elizabeth's. They had shared their news with Lila when they first arrived. Now they could share it with Monica. "I asked Elizabeth to marry me."

Monica was stunned. She opened her mouth but nothing came out. Her funny face made Cameron laugh which in turn made Jake laugh too. When Liz held up her hand showing off her ring, Monica found her voice. "Wow."

"I know." Liz knew the silence wasn't because of upset.

"You are welcome to have the wedding here." Monica said smiling wide. "And I want you to call me when you go tell Robin."

"You can record that for Em." Jason said shaking his head.

"She knows?" Monica wasn't surprised by that.

"We called and told her." Liz passed along. "I think having the wedding here would be lovely. In the rose garden, maybe?"

"That would be lovely. I can tell you the blooming schedule if you want a certain flower for pictures." Lila suggested. She was thrilled that Liz was officially joining the family.

"I'm sure that no matter what date we pick the garden will be lovely." Liz assured Lila. "We won't pick a date until we know more about Em's schedule."

"I think news this good calls for some cake." Monica said and the boys cheered. "Let's go see Cook."

"Okay." Cameron said getting down. He took Jake's hand when Nana put him down too. "Come on Jake." The boys knew where the cake was kept, and they were not afraid of Cook.

"We will have dinner to celebrate this news further." Monica said giving both her son, and her future daughter hugs. "Now I need to use my grandsons as human shields." She said chuckling as she left the room.

Thanks for the reviews!
