This fan fiction has a character that I created. Her name is Jennifer
Quartermaine. She's Tracy's daughter and she has no idea who her father is.
Her mother gave up all right to her when she was born and so Alan and Monica
became her guardians. She has an extremely close relationship with Alan, so
much so that she refers to him as Daddy. She is also extremely close to Mac
Scorpio. Partly because of Robin and partly because she was close to Robert
and Anna when she was younger. She, like Robin, calls him Uncle Mac. The
basis of this story is simple. Jennifer, or Jenn as she's often called, met
Alex Garcia when she was 23. Although she was predisposed not to like him,
because of her closness with Sonny, she found herself drawn to him. The two
began to date and on her 24th birthday (approximately one year later) he
asked her to marry him. She said yes and plans were made for the wedding.
However, 6 months later he was offered a transfer to L.A. He took the job
and asked her to come with him. She refused, saying she couldn't leave Port
Charles and the engagement was broken. This story is taking place
approximately 3 months after Detective Garcia transferred. For story's sake
he hasn't come back to Port Charles just yet.
 

Jennifer stared out the window of the airplane wishing it would hurry up and
land. She had spent the past six hours torturing herself about the past five
or so months. "Please, let him not hate me;" she whispered to herself as the
plane prepared to land. With a bit of a thud, the wheels came out and the
plane began to taxi along the run way. As the plane began to slow down,
Jenn's heart began to speed up. Trying to calm herself down, she closed her
eyes, took deep breaths and leaned her head against the seat. She recalled
her conversation with Mac earlier that day, when she was given the
information she had requested...
"This is his address and phone number in L.A. Are you sure about this?" Mac
had asked.
"I'm absolutely sure. I just spent nearly a month in the hospital. I can't
live the rest of my life like this. I can't even live one more day like
this. I'm going to L.A. tonight."
"Jennifer, what if - -" He stopped, not wanting to hurt her anymore than she
already was.
"What if he won't have me?" she asked. "Then, I'll come back here and try to
pick up the pieces. But I have to try. You do understand, don't you, Uncle
Mac?"
Mac sighed as he looked at the woman who stood before him, remember the
young carefree girl she had once been. "I understand. Good luck."
"Thank you."

The plane stopping brought Jenn back to the present. She stood up,
stretched, reached for her bag then stepped off the plane. Once she was out
of the airport she looked around hesitantly, not quite sure what to do next.
It was dark out and more than a little chilly. She had listened to the
weather report earlier and it had said that L.A. had been getting soaked
with thunder and lightning storms. , she thought. Finally, after a few
minutes she hailed a cab and gave him Alex's address. It was a pleasant 20
minute ride that passed uneventfully for her. All she could think about was
Alex. She shut her eyes and pictured him in her mind. she wondered to
herself. . The driver stopped the cab infront of the apartment building. She
gave him his money and stepped out of the cab. Taking another deep breath
she walked toward the apartment building. She tried the door, but it was
locked. She looked on the directory for his name..... She pressed the buzzer
but there was no response. He wasn't home. She checked her watch and
discovered that it was only eight p.m. He wouldn't be home for at least
another two hours. Jenn hugged her jacket to her and sat against the
building. She wanted to see him, but she was a bit too nervous to go to the
police station to find him. The emotional stress must have gotten the better
of her, because the next thing she knew, she was awoken by a loud clap of
thunder. Seconds later the lightning struck and the rain came pouring down.
Jenn checked her watch, it was five minutes till 10:00. She began to shiver,
her coat and the rest of her clothing completely soaked. Suddenly she saw
headlights approaching the parking lot. The driver pulled the car into a
spot and sat there for a few moments, absorbed in a song. "How do I live
with out you baby....." LeAnn Rimes' voice filled the car as the last
strains of "How Do I Live" played on the radio. When the song was over, the
driver sighed, turned off the radio, shut off the ignition, reached over for
an umbrella then got out of the car, locking it and turning the alarm on
simultaneously with the gadget on his keyring. Jenn watched intently, trying
to decide if it was him or not. Unable to tell, she hugged her knees to her
chest and put her head down, not wanting to face a complete stranger feeling
as horrible as she felt at that precise moment. She heard the footsteps
approach and stop short infront of her. She knew the person was looking at
her but she didn't look up. She had no idea it was Alex until she he began
to speak.

"Oh my God - - Jennifer?" He looked down in disbelief. He had been dreaming
about her almost every night since she called off the engagement. He wanted
to see her, desperately, but he never thought that he'd come home from work
to find her practically on his doorstep. Jenn looked up at him, her face
stained from tears. His heart went out to her immediately. He knew her well
enough to know that she had been going through the same hell he had. Nothing
had changed for either of them in the past 4 months. Not a thing.

"Jenn...what are you - -, I mean, why are you - -" He stopped, unable to
finish his sentece. He looked closely at her and saw that she was shivering.
"Come here, let's get you out of the rain and into something warm and dry."
He helped her up, put his arm firmly around her waist and opened the door to
his building. Once they were inside, he closed the umbrella, leaned down and
picked Jenn up. He held her close to him, her head resting on his shoulder
as he hurried to the elevator. Neither of them spoke a word until they
reached the privacy of his apartment. He brought her directly to his bedroom
and set her down. He went to his dresser and pulled out a pair of sweats, a
sweatshirt and socks. "Put these on. You must be freezing. It's not summer
out here. I'll be right back." He left the room and headed for the kitchen
to make some tea for her. He still bought tea every time he went shopping.
It was almost like having a part of her with him. Now he was glad he had it.
He dried up the floor and locked the door. He was about to turn around to
head back to the room when he saw her standing there. He stared at her for
second, unable to speak. Even with her wet hair and the too large clothing
she was beautiful. He wondered. They stood staring at each other for several
minutes. Finally, unable to hold herself back, she began to silently cry, as
she began to speak.

"You...you...you must be wondering why I'm here." She said softly. Her heart
was pounding something fierce. Suddenly the thought of rejection was too
much for her. All the feelings the feelings that she thought she felt were
compounded now, just because she was standing there facing him. Alex cleared
his throat before responding.

"Well, I have to admit, it was quite a shock, seeing you here. I mean, its
not like you just came around the corner. Port Charles is 3,000 miles away.
So, yeah, I guess I am wondering why you're here." he added silently.

"I don't know even why I came here. I mean, I do know, I just.... didn't plan
it out. I asked Uncle Mac for your address and phone number out here. He
gave it to me and I hopped on the next plane out of Port Charles....I just
knew that I had to see you." The dam was beginning to break and the tears
were coming harder and faster. Alex watched her for a moment, unsure of what
to do. After a few seconds his instinct took over and he walked over to her,
pulled her close to him, wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly.
She put her arms around him, clinging to him as if for dear life. She pulled
away slightly and looked up at him, shaking from cold as well as nerves, she
took a deep breath and said what she had come to say. "Alex...I came here
because I....I need you. No, no, it's more than that. I know how this is
going to sound but....I love you. And I have tried so hard to be brave and
pretend that I could get over not having you in my life any more (she begins
to sob, but breathes deeply to keep her voice from shaking) but I can't do
it anymore. I don't even know if you can stand the sight of me but I had to
come back and try..." Alex pulled her even closer and held her tighter, his
tears falling into her hair.

"Love...are you telling me that you want to be with me?"
"Yes. I want to be with you."
"Oh Love. I think I have dreamt about hearing you say that almost every
night since you called off the engagement. And now I'm hearing them and...."
he stops, too chocked up in emotions to continue. Jenn reaches up and puts
her arms around his neck. She pulls his head down closer to her, closes her
eyes and kisses him. He stiffens for a second, then returns the kiss. The
kiss grows more passionate as the seconds pass. He's about to pick her up to
bring her to his bedroom when the teapot whistles, jolting them both back
into reality. Alex untangles himself from her and goes over to shut off the
stove. "I was going to make you some tea..." Jenn walks over to him and puts
her arms around his waist. "Mmm, not now, thank you. Maybe later."

"Somehow, I didn't think you wanted it." He turns around, picks her up, and
carries her into the bedroom. He puts her on the bed and is about to join
her when he pulls back a little. "Jenn, there isn't a single doubt in my
mind. I want to make love with you. But, I don't want you to have any
regrets...."

"I won't have any. Being here, being with you has never felt so right. I had
one major regret and that was being stupid enough to let you go. That is
never happening again." Alex just smiles at her as he moves to join her on
the bed. He gently lays ontop of her, runs his hands through her hair and
kisses her. She returns the kiss and moves her hands to unbutton his shirt.
Once its unbuttoned she moves her hands under the shirt over his muscular
chest. Just feeling his skin again sends currents up her spine. He moves one
hand from her hair and moves it to the bottom of her shirt. He reaches under
the shirt and is pleasantly surprised to find that she is not wearing a bra.
He begins to massage her breast, playing with the nipple. Jenn moans softly
as she moves her hands to his pants, she unbuckles his belt and begins to
unzip his pants. As she does so he groans because she is inadvertantly
rubbing against his growing erection. She gets his pants down, off his hips,
then moves her body so that he is forced to get off her. She pushes him a
bit so that he ends up on his back. She gets on top of him, and starting
from the neck, trails kisses all the way down to his stomach. "Oh Jenn." His
words are barely above a whisper. She smiles at him for a moment then moves
down to take his pants all the way off. After she does that, she takes his
underwear off completely, bends down and takes him in her mouth sucking
gently, enjoying the taste of him. Alex moans as he moves his hands to the
sides of her head to help keep her centered. As she sucks he becomes harder
and his moans louder. Never taking her mouth off him she keeps alternating
between sucking and licking. Alex moans again as he feels himself on the
edge of orgasm. "Love...if you want to stop you'd better now...." Jenn
didn't respond, she just increased the pressure of her mouth on him, sending
him over the edge into orgasm. He shuddered for a second. She swallowed
every bit, for the first time ever and she wasn't sorry she did. Alex smiled
at her for a second before hauling her up to his level and rolling her under
him. "It's my turn now," he said before moving down her body to her pussy.
He gently spread her legs wide and buried his head in her already wet curls.
He used his tounge and his lips on her clitoris, alternately sucking and
licking. She thrusts her hips upward and she moans with pleasure. He brings
her to the edge of orgasm and then stops. Jenn groans with disappointment.
Alex laughs quietly and positions himself to enter her. He does, ever so
slowly in a teasing way. "Alex...no....no teasing...not tonight...please..."
she begs him. He doesn't answer, just smiles and begins to thrust into her
hard and fast. She cries out as she wraps her legs around his waist. He
thrusts into her again as she shoves her hips up to meet him. After a few
minutes she closes her inner muscles around him and begins her climax. He
leans down to kiss her, his tounge gaining entry into her mouth as he
thrusts harder into her. Seconds later he begins his orgasm, with his moans
matching hers. She pulls him to her and kisses him hard as they both come
down. After resting for a moment he rolls over and brings her to rest on top
of him. He kisses her lips and looks at her with tears in her eyes. "I hope
you know what you're getting into, Little One. I'm not about to lose you
again." Jenn just stared at him for a second before answering. "I know what
I'm getting into. And trust me, you'll never, ever lose me again." She hugs
him tightly, then slides off him, on to the bed next to him. leans her head
on his chest, closes her eyes and happily drifts off to sleep. He smiles
down at her, and covers them both up. "Welcome home, Love." He whispers as
he kisses her temple. He smiles down at her once more, then reaches over to
shut off the light. He takes her in his arms and falls asleep knowing that
she has finally come home.
