So, I have been putting off writing this chapter, cause i know it will be hard and i want to make it good. That's manly the reason for me going off on a tangent in the last chapter! Plus i've had exams! :( But here it is. Hope its okay, let me know what you think.

I have also changed the rating something which i probably started with, incase it triggered anything, so it no won't appear on the first page of the list. I hope to be able to update more consistently now and get further along with this story got big plans! :) Enjoy.

Marissa and Miranda had been home for about an hour, they had been to collect Olivia and now all three girls were making some dinner. Friday night meant they got to make spaghetti bolognese a favourite in the Montgomery-Tasker household.

'Mimo? could you please set the table?'

'Yeah Ma, Olivia do you want to help me?'

'Nope, I hate setting the table, plus Im head chef. Right Mama?' Olivia said as turing to face Marissa.

'Right you are, but you do know that sometimes they help out.' Marissa said already knowing her youngest wouldn't budge on her decision.

'Well I will help out the next time, but now its time for the spaghetti!' Olivia said trying to use an italian accent, which caused the other two girls to laugh.

Just as they were adding the spaghetti they heard the front door open.

'Mooooooommmmmm!" Olivia said diving off the stool she was standing on at the kitchen counter.

'Be careful, munchkin!' Marissa shouted knowing it was too late.

Olivia had leaped onto Bianca and almost knocked her down.

'Mom, your home!' Olivia said with a big grin on her face

'I am that, I wanted to see my favourite people!' Bianca said while picking up her youngest and taking her into the kitchen.

'Hey baby.' Marissa greeted her wife, walking over and leaning over their youngest to place a soft kiss on her lips.

'Hey yourself!' Bianca said placing the youngest back on her stool.

'Why don't you help Ma with the pasta and i'll help mimo?' Bianca asked knowing that her youngest hated setting the table.

'Great idea Mom.' Olivia said while turning back to help Marissa.

The four girls where sitting eating there dinner while Olivia was doing most of the talking forgetting about her Spaghetti.

'How about you eat, while Mimo tells us about her day?'

"goooddd plannn' Olivia said with a mouthful of pasta.

'So, Mimo how was your day?' Bianca asked intrigued by the way her oldest was smiling.

'Good, my day was good.' She said while trying to brush off how red her face had went.

'It looks like it was better than good, so what happened or maybe the better question is who happened?' Bianca asked with a knowing smile.

'Just this new girl and she's really nice. She actually asked if i wanted to go shopping tomorrow with her.' Miranda said her smile even brighter than before.

'Cool, so why did they move to Pine Valley?' Bianca asked intrigued.

'She was actually getting a hard time at her old school and her mum and dad couldn't deal with it.'

'Oh, did she tell you why she was getting a hard time?' Now Bianca was intrigued as to how MIranda knew so much about this girl after only one day.

'She's actually gay.' Miranda said looking at both of her mothers.

'Wow, and you spoke about this on her first day of school?' Marissa jumped in.

'Yeah, it was weird but although we've only known each other for hours the conversation just flowed.'

'Did you tell her that you were to?' Bianca said almost gently.

'No, but i feel really bad now and think i probably should have.' Miranda said putting her head down.

'Mimo, why did you not tell her?' Marissa asked

'I don't know, but i did wonder about after been shopping tomorrow to see if she wanted to come back for dinner?'

'Yeah, i'd like to meet her.' Bianca said

'She seems really lovely, and she is really pretty!' Marissa added.

'Wait! You've met her?' Bianca asked.

'Yeah just for like Hello, Goodbye conversation. But she did say that Miranda was a life saver!'

For the rest of dinner they sat just making light conversation. And before they knew it it was way past Olivia's bedtime.

/

Bianca came down the stairs from tucking Olivia in to find Marissa and Miranda in a deep conversation.

'Sorry, am i interrupting something?' Bianca asked worried, she knew how close the two had become and that they really cherished the alone time they had together.

'No, mom it's fine.' Miranda said moving onto the coffee table, 'can we talk?' she quickly added.

'Sure, what's up?' Bianca asked taken a seat next to her wife.

'I was wondering if we could take about last week?' Miranda said looking at Marissa, who was nodding and gave her a gentle smile of support.

'Yeah, of course if your ready.'

'Ok, here go's!' Miranda said taking a deep breath.'Before i say anything I need to say i'm sorry i didn't tell you straight away but you'll hopefully understand.' Marissa reached gently across and took her wife's hands in her own.

''Well you remember Matthew?' When Miranda was answered with a nod she continued

'Well, me and Matthew were so good for a while, I mean we were like best friends and I really thought that I loved him. As you know I was the only girl in the P.e class and I used to get quite a lot of attention, which he hated it which I understood. But the more the year went on the more paranoid he got and the more I had to re-assure him, which after telling him about one hundred times that I wasn't interested in anyone else it got a bit frustrating. I mean it was as if he didn't trust me. You know? Then after Samantha started dating this guy, me and him started to talk more and more throughout P.e and got friendlier. I mean we were talking about Sam, nothing else but Matthew didn't seem to believe me. Which lead to us arguing more and more. Then things got about ten times worse when this guy got my number, he started texting me which I thought was weird but then all we spoke about was Sam. Matthew didn't see it like that though and he had to read all the messages to trust me. It was getting to much and we just stated arguing constantly. Then we were sitting at lunch and I was going to show molly one of the pictures of us from the weekend and I found photos of girls on his phone. I broke down, threw his phone at him and told him to 'Fuck' off.'

Bianca was about to speak when she sensed she should just listen, from the look on Miranda's face this was the hard part.

'Well this guy kept texting me and I found out from molly that sam and him split up, yet he was still texting me. Anyway I was at that party last week and he turned up. I had deleted his number off my phone and I tried to ignore the texts which I did. I told Aj about it all which kinda helped, but I knew I should have told you and Ma. I was outside talking to a couple of guys in my classes and he came over and took me by the hand. And tried to take me to his car, I managed to shake him off but he grabbed...m..ee and pulled me behind.. the club.'

Bianca suddenly got up and flung her arms around her daughter. 'No,no,no,no,no' was all she kept repeating while swaying side to side. By this point all three women were in tears.

'Mom, he didn't get that far. I managed to get him off me eventually.'

'Eventually! Mimo, please just tell me what happened.' BIanca asked turing to prepare herself for what she was about to hear.

He...ee...pushed me up against a wall and was forcing himself on me, he began to feel up my leg and at that I started to panic, as I struggled his grip got tighter...' Miranda began to sob.' he then reached up my dress and ….. and ..' Miranda took a shaky breath and continued, something that without Marissa's help throughout the week she wouldn't have been able to do.

'As, he bent down to unzip his trousers and then stood up I managed to get one of my hands free and I punched him in the face which gave me the chance to run. As I ran around the corner I ran into Aj and I told him that kyle was behind me, then he saw kyle running holding his nose. And so he punched him in the face again. He grabbed my hand and took me to get a taxi and brought me home. Mom I really don't know what I would have done if Aj didn't bring me home, he saved me. Then he got into trouble.'

'Shh, Aj isn't in trouble. I am so pround of you Mimo, you will never understand how much.' Bianca held onto Miranda for a few more minutes while both their sobs started to ease, then slipped away to allow Miranda to give Marissa a hug.

As Miranda put her arms around Marissa, she whispered into Miranda's ear: ' Im so proud and I love you so much!', Miranda looked Marissa in the eye; ' I couldn't have done anything without you, thank you so much!'

Miranda turned around to her mom who was watching the interaction take place in front of her eyes.

'Mom, I'm sorry i didn't tell you sooner I just wasn't sure how to tell you, i just hope you understand.'

Bianca got up and joined her wife and daughter on the sofa they were sitting at and leaned into both of them.

'I love you both so much it's unbelievable.' Bianca said placing a kiss on the side of Miranda's head.

'Mimo, i know your probably going to hate me for saying this but take it from someone who knows. Maybe you should speak to someone, i mean i know a lot a great people at the Miranda Centre, it would help.'

'I don't know.'

'You can think about it.'

'Yeah, I think i will. Mom i'm sorry.' Miranda said putting her head down.

'Hey! You have nothing to be sorry about ok, nothing! I never want you to ever be sorry about talking to me or you Ma about anything. We are both here for you no matter what.'

'I know and i love the fact the three of us have a relationship like this but I can't help worry that i've hurt you or brung back memories.'

'That is nothing you need to worry about, okay. I don't want you to worry about me!' Bianca added.

They all sat there for a while, whilst they composed themselves.

'Would you both like a drink?' Marissa said as she got up to go through to the kitchen.

'What do you say you bring in three glasses and we have a little glass of wine.' Bianca adds 'I think we deserve one, What you say mimo?'

'I don't mind, really. But if its on offer then sure!' Miranda added with a slight smile. As Marissa was leaving the room there was a light buzz coming from the single armchair. When she got closer she saw that it was Miranda's phone and she was getting a phone call.

'Mimo, your phone's ringing!' Marissa said holding the phone up for Mimo.

'Thanks Ma' She said taking it as it ringed off.

'Who was that?' Bianca asked knowing that her daughter doesn't normally get phone calls at half past ten at night.

'It was actually Lauren, can I go up and phone her back?'

'Yeah, of course, i'll go and help your Ma!'

'Okay be back down soon." Miranda said as she turned to run up the stairs towards her bedroom. As Bianca made her way into the kitchen.

/ (Kitchen)

As Marissa was getting the bottle from the fridge she noticed her wife standing in the door way with a concentrated look her face.

'Bianca? Are you really ok?' Marissa said while walking over to reach for her wife's hands but instead was pulled into an almost desperate hug.

'Shhh!' Marissa said as she ran her hand over Bianca's hair, 'She's safe, she's safe no one can hurt her!' Marissa said trying to calm her wife down.

As Bianca's sobs calmed, She reached over for the bottle and took Marissa by the hand.

'Binks, where are we going? What about Mimo?'

"Marissa, we are going to run a nice warm bath, and relax with candles and our wine! It was Lauren on the phone so i imagine they will be a while.'

'I love you, you know that!' Marissa added while letting her wife lead her knowing that being in control would help to regain Bianca's confidence. Although Bianca hadn't said it and Marissa knew she wouldn't in front of Miranda she knew that what she had heard had effected her in way that only someone who had been through something similar.

'I love you too, so much!'

/ (Miranda's room)

As soon as Miranda had closed her door, he phone rang once more.

'Hey, is everything ok?' Miranda asked.

'Yeah, why? Am i not allowed to phone my friend?' Lauren answered

'Sorry, I just got caught off guard when you phoned that's all and yeah you can phone me anytime!'

'Did I interrupt something important, I'm sorry if i did.'

'I was just talking some stuff through with my mum thats all, but its fine.'

'I was just checking, that we were still on for tomorrow?' Lauren asked secretly hoping that the answer was still yes.

'Yeah, of course, actually I was wondering if you wanted to come back to mine for dinner?' Miranda asked secretly hoping that the answer would be yes.

'Yeah, that'd be great, my mum and dad are going out tomorrow anyway!'

They stayed on the phone for what seemed like 10 minuets but in fact when Miranda looked at the clock they had been talking for 2 hours.

'Hey, Lauren i don't know if you've noticed but it half 12!'

'Wow, its felt like 10 mins'

'i know what you mean, but anyway we are meeting at 12 tomorrow so i better get some beauty sleep!'

'You don't need any beauty sleep!' It had already slipped from Lauren's mouth before she could stop herself.

'Well, thank you but after the night I had before you phoned I don't think i have a choice.'

'ok, if you say so! Night night Miranda sweetdreams!'

'Sweetdreams Lauren ' Miranda replied hanging up the phone with a big grin on her face, and now she couldn't wait till tomorrow. She fell asleep for the first time in a week with a smile on her face.

/ (Bianca and Marissa)

As Bianca led Marissa into their bedroom, Bianca pulled Marissa in close and placed a gentle kiss onto her lips.

'I love you so much'

She placed another couple of light kisses onto her lovers lips before beginning to walk into the bathroom. Before Marissa pulled her back in.

'I love you more.'

Marissa kissed Bianca softly neither woman wanting to deepen the kiss just yet, but need to feel the contact and love. As the pulled back they pulled they rested their foreheads together.

'Let's run that bath!' Marissa said while taking her lover into the bathroom.

As Bianca started to run the water Marissa went into the cupboard under the sink to get some candles and the bubble bath. Marissa handed the bubble bath to Bianca as she started to light the candles and place the around there bath. She went back into their bedroom and got the bottle of wine and took it through into the bathroom, where Bianca was standing waiting on her.

'Hey beautiful!'

'Hey!' Marissa said closing the gap between them and placing a kiss on her wife's lips. Before it got to deep Marissa pulled away and placed the bottle of wine on the side of the bath before taking her wife into her arms. And kissing her but this time deepening the kiss. As it got more heated Bianca's hands started to tug at the hem of Marissa's top, before removing it in one smooth motion. As soon as Marissa's shirt was off so was Bianca's. After that things started moving in double time and before they knew it they were both in the bath.
