## Background

In November 2017, while eating lunch with her best friend Lulu Spencer-Falconeri after the crime at the Metro Court Hotel by Cesar Faison's men Frank Anderson and Greg Barnes who were in revenge for Faison leaving Mayor Janice Lomax outraged as well as Nathan West and Franco Baldwin unharmed, Maxie gets nauseous to the point of throwing up twice. After she throws up the second time, Lulu announces that Maxie must be pregnant. Maxie denies it, at first, saying that she can’t be because she and Nathan haven’t discussed it. Later on, she buys a pregnancy test and realizes that she’s late. Eventually, she takes the test but is interrupted by Chet Driscoll before she can look at the results.

## Storylines

James was seen on September 13, with his mother and aunt Robin before heading back to Berkley five days later. He also spends time with Anna Devane.

On September 20, he spends time with his mother and Michael two days after Robin went back to Berkley.
