A/n: these drabbles take place in 2024, Johnny gets acquired from pentonville and Jolu finally get their happy ending. I'll be starting with Johnny getting acquitted so the drabbles will make more sense.

Johnny's POV

I couldn't believe what I was hearing, especially after the fact that I had escaped from prison in 2016.

"Are you sure you have the right guy?" I cleared my throat, careful to not get my hopes up.

"You're the only John Zacchara in this prison. You should get dressed, your scheduled to be released in an hour." The prison guard left the room so he could get changed.

"Wow...I'm finally getting out of this hell hole." I allowed myself to smile, quickly changing into a blue button up shirt, black jeans and my brown boots. I had missed my clothes and my freedom, most of all I had missed the one that got away. I remembered the last time I'd seen her, the emotions flying between both of us. Within an hour I was released from prison, I called an Uber and went directly to the penthouse.

"I can finally start getting my life back together." Johnny smiles, looking around his penthouse. Nothing had changed.

Lulu's POV

I had woken up from my coma today to find out that Dante was engaged to Sam, why did everyone expect me to be mad? Dante and I had been divorced from at least two years. Dante was a good man who deserved happiness, why would I want to ruin that? I was packing up all my things to go home, when I felt someone standing in the doorway.

"Mom...' I heard my daughters voice say, it shook a little. I turned around to see my beautiful blonde haired blue eyed daughter, a smile lighting up my face.

"Charlotte." We rushed to each other at the same time, throwing our arms around each other.

"Mommy, I have so much to tell you." Charlotte pulled back to look at me.

"Oh my...you have braces now. My girl's growing up on me, you can tell me everything. I have all the time in the world, where's Rocco?" I continued to smile, taking her hand as I walked out the hospital room. I saw my mom, Dante and Sam, Maxie, Nikolas and Elizabeth.

"Oh baby, you're back." My mom enveloped me into a hug, I saw Maxie dabbing at her eyes.

"I'm not going anywhere ever again, I promise." I looked at my family and friends.

"It's good to have you back, Lulu." Sam hugged me.

"Thank you for taking care of my babies when I couldn't." I grabbed her hand, needing her to know that I wasn't mad.

"Of course, their amazing kids. I would want someone to take care of my children if I wasn't able to." Sam places her hand on her small baby bump.

"I guess congratulations are in order. How far along are you?" I glanced down at her stomach.

"I'm only about three weeks, we just found out. I'm excited." A small smile grew on the brunettes face.

"Hello ladies, what are we talking about?" Dante walked over, hooking an arm around Sam.

"Rocco will be the best big brother, I'm really happy for you guys." Lulu turned to Dante, there were no romantic feelings between them anymore. Maybe Lulu should be sad about it but, she felt at peace with it.

"Yes, yes he will. I heard Zacchara got acquitted today...you know I don't like the guy but, if he really makes you happy than you should be with him. The only thing I've ever wanted for you is to be happy." Dante had to bite his tongue about Johnny but, he knew he's always who Lulu would want.

"Did he? I'll have to go and see him later. Where's Rocco? I haven't seen my baby boy in so long. I know that was hard for you to say, thank you for that." There was an understanding the two former spouses.

"I can just imagine the Thanksgiving get togethers if Jolu gets back together. Which they will, they always do." Maxie Jones smirked, walking over to stand beside her best friend.

"Jolu? Do I even want to know?" Dante's eyebrow quirks in confusion.

"It's mine and Johnny's couple name, yours and Sam's name would be Sante. You just merge the first two names together. Catch up, Dante!" Lulu laughs, waving her hand expertly.

"Thank you! I have missed my blonde bombshell twin!" Maxie threw her arms around Lulu, never wanting to let her go.

"I love you, forever and always." Lulu promised, holding onto Maxie.

"They are still just friends. Right?" Johnny Zacchara smirked, walking off of the elevator and over to where they stood.

"Hey, you're not best friends if theirs not a rumor that you're gay for each other!" Maxie smirked, glad to see that Johnny was free.

"We should get going, gotta pick up Danny and Scout. It's really good to see you up and running. I'll see you." Dante nods at Lulu, before he and Sam got on the elevator.

"You're just as beautiful as the first time I saw you. Can you believe that was fourteen years ago?" Johnny smirks at her.

"You're finally free." Lulu breathed, immediately hugging him. Johnny's arms wrapped around her and she felt like she was finally home again.

"What do you say we go on a few dates to make sure? Because I know you've got kids. I want to make sure everyone is comfortable." Johnny brushed her hair back from her face.

"I'd like that, thank you for thinking of my kids. I really appreciate that. Do you think you could help me out with getting a house? I don't want to ask Dante." Lulu realized that Dante and Sam were living in her old house.

"Of course, let's go look at some! You guys could stay with me until you close on a house, if that's something you'd want." Johnny was always ready to help Lulu with anything she needed.

"That would be perfect. Nobody has answered me about where Rocco is but, he's probably with Olivia and Ned. You can meet Charlotte, she's fourteen." Lulu grabbed Johnny's arm walking them over to where Charlotte and Laura were talking.

"You must be Johnny, I'm Charlotte." Her daughter immediately noticed them, extending her hand to Johnny.

"Hey Charlotte, it's a pleasure to meet you." Johnny smiled a little taken back by her forwardness.

"Hey Johnny, it's been a long time. All this time and your still taking care of my daughter, I knew there was a reason I liked you." Laura warmly smiled at Johnny, pulling him into a hug.

"It's good to see you Laura." Johnny hugged her back.

"While we look for a house, we're going to be staying at Johnny's place. Is that okay with you?" Lulu grabs both of her daughter's hands in hers.

"Yes, of course mommy. Come on, let's do something! All three of us!"
