A/n: I know I already have a book of JoMax Drabbles but, all of the prompts in this book will be connected into a story, where as my other drabble book will just be random blurbs. I've fallen down the JoMax rabbit hole again, oh well.
Maxie Jones gathered her black designer coat around her body as she left Crimson that November night, she felt as if someone was watching her but she shrugged her paranoia off. As Maxie walked along pier 54 she heard footsteps behind her and quickened her pace, hoping to lose whoever was following her.
"What do you want from me?" Maxie suddenly whirled around on whoever had been tailing her since Crimson, to her utter horror it was Franco. The very same Franco that Jason, Dante, Spinelli and Johnny were trying to track down. Only a few feet separated them, a cruel smile on Franco's face.
"Aren't you a long way from home?" Franco leered at her, his eyes dropped down to her cleavage.
"You're disgusting and I hate that I sunk so low as to fuck you! Get away from me, you creep!" Maxie stepped back a little bit, trying to put some distance in between them. That didn't do anything because he only stepped forward, pushing her up against the wall of the wooden building behind them.
"Do you really think anyone else would have fucked you that night? Especially your dear Spinelli? I was your only option and you know it. You made a mistake not calling a cab, because now you're mine." Franco breathed into her ear, Maxie's body visibly shook and not in the good way. She was in trouble. Maxie knees Franco on the groin and takes off running as fast as her stilettos would carry her, she ran into a hard body as she clattered to the ground.
"No! Get off of me!* She yelled, swatting away the hands that touched her.
"Maxie, it's okay. It's just me. Are you hurt? What's going on?" Johnny Zacchara peered down at her, offering her a hand.
"Oh thank God, I thought I was about to be chopped liver." Maxie breathed a sigh of relief, gladly grabbing Johnny's hand and he pulled her up to stand.
"I saw Franco. Johnny, he had me cornered. I didn't know if I was going to get out of there without getting raped or worse. All I could do was kick him where the sun didn't shine." Maxie fixed her hair.
"Franco was here?" Johnny's eyes went wide, looking Maxie over to make sure she was okay.
"Yeah, he was. I wish he would just die! I know how bad that sounds but, nobody would miss him!" Maxie felt like she was going to be sick.
"Come on, let's get you somewhere safe. You can stay at the penthouse, I'm sure Lulu could bring some stuff over for you." Johnny sighed, he needed to call Jason.
"Okay, let's get out of here." Maxie nodded and Johnny led them over to his car and drove to the penthouse.
"Are you alright? Did he hurt you?" Within minutes of calling her best friend, Lulu had rushed right over with bags of Maxie's things.
"I'm a little shaken up but I got away before he could do anything to me. You need to be careful, I hope you didn't walk here or come by yourself." Maxie fixed a stern look on Lulu.
"No, of course not. Dante hasn't let me out of his sight since they started tracking Franco, trust me I'm okay. Actually, I'm more than okay." Lulu had a hint of a smile.
"Lesley Lu, tell me everything!" Maxie grabbed her best friend's hands.
"Me and Dante are pregnant, I think he's going to pop the question soon. Maxie, I'm finally getting the family I've always wanted and I hope nothing ruins it." Lulu admitted.
"My best friend is going to be a mommy? No way! Lulu, this is what you've always wanted. Dante treats you like the queen you are, I'm so happy for you guys." Maxie softened at Lulu's news, pulling Lulu into a hug.
"Will you be my baby's godmother?" Lulu smiled.
"You better believe it and I'll do it in style!"
In the kitchen, Johnny and Dante were discussing their next move with Franco.
"I was worried something was going to happen to Maxie, it's good that she has you." Dante cleared his throat.
"I'm sorry, is that a compliment?" Johnny slightly smirked.
"Zacchara, don't make this weird. I can't have my child's godmother getting hurt." Dante fought the urge to roll his eyes.
"You- You and Lulu? She's pregnant?" Johnny asked.
"Yeah. Lulu wanted to keep it quiet but, I don't think that includes you." Dante sighed, he hated to admit it but other than Johnny's occupation he wasn't a bad guy.
"Congratulations, you two are gonna be great parents." Johnny truly meant that.
"Thanks." Lulu and Maxie walked over to the two men, Lulu put her chin on Dante's shoulder.
"We're going to meet with Jason and Spinelli in the morning, I traced him to a house just outside of Port Charles limits. Jason went to go check it out." Dante informed them, putting an arm around Lulu.
"Good. The sooner he's caught the better."
