I don't know...But if you guys still like this fic and want me to do another sequel could you tell me? Once again thank you so much for all of your reviews. They really mean a lot to me...

"Bianca?" Maggie's voice was hushed as Bianca rolled away from her and turned on her side, refusing to meet her eyes. The older girl shuffled closer and reached out tentatively, placing a hand on Bianca's back. She frowned when the other girl instantly flinched and pulled away from her touch.

"Bianca, what's wrong?" she questioned quietly as she drew her hand back to her chest.

"Nothing" Bianca's voice sounded harshly.

Maggie bit her lip as she tried to suppress the ache in her heart "Nothing?" she asked disbelievingly "Than why won't you let me touch you?"

"Because..." Bianca sighed and turned over so that she was on her back gazing at the ceiling "I just CAN'T okay?"

"Can't let me touch you?" Maggie asked in confusion "Why? What did I do?"

"You didn't do ANYTHING!" Bianca replied in exasperation "Just...Leave it, okay Maggie?"

Maggie sighed as she wrapped her arms around herself, desperately missing Bianca's warmth.

"Bianca..." she tried again.

"I'm trying to think..." Bianca interrupted her, still refusing to look away from the ceiling.

"Bianca, What the hell is wrong with you?!" Maggie exclaimed as she sat up slightly "Clearly I've done something to upset you!"

"You haven't done anything" the natural brunette said softly "It's all me..."

"What's you Binks?" Maggie questioned sadly "You've been acting weird for DAYS Bianca...Ever since that guy..."

"Maggie..." Bianca finally turned so that she was facing her girlfriend and froze at the sight before her. She felt her heart jolt painfully as she gazed unreservedly at the other girl noticing how her hair fell gently just over her face... how soft the flawless skin she ached to touch looked. Her eyes drifted to Maggie's lips and her gaze softened when she noticed that the other girl was biting her bottom lips in nervousness. Inevitably her gaze was drawn back to Maggie's soft brown eyes which glittered in intense longing, pain, worry, love....all of these emotions melded together in her eyes to form the most heartbreakingly beautiful gaze Bianca had ever experienced and for the umpteenth time in the last couple of days she recalled why she was willing to sacrifice anything for the girl in front of her.

"What?" Maggie tilted her head in confusion at Bianca's long piercing gaze.

"I'm hurting you..." Bianca spoke sadly "I can tell..."

Maggie hesitantly moved closer to the other girl afraid of the possible rejection she would receive "Binks..." she took a deep breath and placed a hand gently on Bianca's shoulder relieved when the other girl didn't pull away "I'm not gonna deny that I'm hurting right now...But only because I'm so worried about you...and maybe I'm kinda hurt that you don't want me to touch you..."

"You don't understand Maggie" Bianca shook her head adamantly "You Love me right?"

"Of course I do Bianca!" Maggie stated immediately surprised that Bianca would even ask her that "I love you with all my heart and soul..."

Bianca pulled Maggie closer to her and kissed her passionately, trying to show through that kiss how much she felt for her girlfriend. She felt Maggie sigh into the kiss and pulled her on top of her allowing her kisses to grow more persistent and desperate.

Maggie pulled back slightly to look into her eyes "Bianca..."

"Don't..." Bianca muttered before capturing Maggie's lips once again with her own. Maggie returned the frantic kiss hesitantly, still concerned about what was wrong with her girlfriend. She felt the kisses slow down after a moment to a gentler pace and reached up to place her hands on Bianca's cheeks. After a moment she felt wetness on her hands and tasted salt on her lips causing her to pull back instantly. Bianca immediately attempted to pull her back into the kiss but Maggie resisted

"Bianca, Wait!" She said as she caught Bianca's hands in her own and held them tightly "I won't let you do this!"

Bianca frowned as she attempted to wipe the tears away with the back of her hand "But I need you..."

Maggie's gaze softened slightly and she pulled Bianca into her arms trying to comfort her as much as possible. Bianca relaxed for a moment before she pulled out of the embrace and moved away from Maggie turning once again on her side.

"Bianca, please tell me what's wrong..." Maggie said quietly as she observed her girlfriend clearly shaking with sobs.

"Why can't everything be simple?!" Bianca sobbed "Why can't I just BE WITH YOU?!"

Maggie immediately shifted closer and hugged her girlfriend comfortingly from behind and leaning her head against Bianca's "Shh...It's okay Binks..." she soothed not sure what to say to her girlfriend to make her feel better "It'll be okay..."

"How can it be okay?" Bianca whimpered clutching tightly to the arm Maggie had wrapped around her stomach.

Maggie paused slightly "What's wrong Bianca?" she questioned "Please just tell me..."

"I'm gonna hurt you..." Bianca said quietly as she turned to face Maggie, tears still streaming freely from her eyes.

"Hurt me?" Maggie questioned confusion clear in her eyes "How Bianca? You would never hurt me..."

"I won't mean to Maggie" Bianca reached up and cupped Maggie's cheek with her hand "If something happens to me...What will you do? Will you be okay?"

"Okay?!" Maggie exclaimed in disbelief "Of course I won't be okay...Not...Not without you...I need you Bianca...I need you to live..."

Bianca sighed heavily "But eventually you'll be okay right?"

"NO!" Maggie exclaimed, surprising even herself with the ferocity of her answer "I won't Bianca! I could never be okay..." her eyes clouded up with tears and she moved closer to Bianca and clutched her hand comfortingly "Why are you asking that Bianca? You're not...gonna do anything stupid...Are you?"

Bianca hesitated for a moment and Maggie's eyes widened in alarm "BIANCA!" she yelled.

"I'm not" Bianca said in a small voice "I would never intentionally do anything to hurt you..."

Maggie relaxed visibly and wrapped her arms tightly around Bianca "Don't scare me like that okay?" she said quietly tears audible in her voice.

"I'm sorry" Bianca leaned up and planted a gentle kiss on Maggie's lips. Maggie returned the kiss just as tenderly and shuffled as close as possible to Bianca.

"I just..." Bianca said quietly as she pulled away slightly to look into Maggie's eyes although they still remained nose-to-nose "I Love you...I Love You so much..."

"I love you too" Maggie responded sincerely before running a hand down Bianca's soft brown hair and tugging her forward slightly "And I really could not be without you Bianca...Don't ever think that I could..." she eventually kissed the other girl passionately her hand coming to a stop on the back of Bianca's neck as Bianca's stroked her bare stomach lightly. When they pulled away they were breathing slightly heavily as they met each other's gaze. After a moment they both moved forward into a slightly more heated kiss as they pulled each other closer and hands wandered gently. The sound of the door opening caused them to pull apart and glance over at the door to see Faith walk through one hand covering her eyes though she had two fingers separated so that she could still see.

"Hey, Guys?" Faith questioned as she stopped at the foot of the bed.

Bianca and Maggie clutched the blankets to themselves and Bianca began to blush profusely.

"Uh...Faith?" Maggie questioned "You can open your eyes"

Faith moved her hand away from her eyes so that she could fully see "You guys need to um...Put some clothes on and come with me and B..."

"Where are we going?" Bianca asked in confusion.

"B and I have to go check something out..." Faith sighed, running a hand through her hair "We can't leave you guys here..."

"Oh..." Bianca and Maggie nodded.

"So...I'm gonna...Go..." Faith motioned towards the doorway "We'll meet you guys downstairs in...Fifteen minutes?"

At Bianca and Maggie's nod she turned and exited the room pulling the door gently shut behind her.

Bianca sighed as she slumped back against the pillow "That was fun"

Maggie grinned as she moved over to Bianca and laid her head on her chest listening to her heart beating rapidly in her chest. She smiled softly and swore her own heart rate sped up when Bianca wrapped an arm tightly around her.

"We should get ready..." Bianca said eventually as she began to pull away.

"Wait..." Maggie said softly before she pulled Bianca to her and kissed her deeply "I Love you Bianca..."

"I love you too..." Bianca answered placing a final gentle kiss on Maggie's lips before getting up "But we have to get ready..."

Maggie smiled to herself as she watched Bianca pull on a pair of jeans. Five minutes later they stood near the door, clutching each others hands tightly.

"I guess we have to go then..." Bianca said quietly.

"Mmhn..." Maggie mumbled as she pulled Bianca close to her "But first..." she leaned close to Bianca and kissed her fervently, holding onto her as tight as possible. When she pulled away slightly she smiled adoringly "I needed that..."

"So did I..." Bianca whispered.

"Are you sure this is the right place?" Maggie questioned complainingly as she followed the slayers holding tightly onto Bianca's hand.

"Yeah..." Buffy sighed as she looked around in unadulterated confusion "Willow said there was something big going on down here..."

Maggie shrugged "I don't see anything...Can we go home now?"

"Yeah, I gue..." Buffy began to say before she was interrupted by a male voice.

"I suppose you're looking for me?"

All four girls turned to face the man in front of them.

"You" Buffy growled out.

"Me" The man grinned.

"What do you want?" Faith asked as she stepped closer to Bianca and Maggie.

The man scowled at them "I'm sick of playing games...I think it's time we got down to business don't you?"

"Not really" Buffy mumbled.

The man flicked his wrist lazily sending Buffy and Faith in one direction before he turned his attention to Bianca. He walked slowly over to her until he stood right in front of her "Bianca..."

Maggie pulled Bianca backwards and moved to stand in front of her "Keep your hands off of her!"

"Or?" The man questioned raising an eyebrow at her smugly.

"Or I'll goddamn kill you!" Maggie growled.

The man grinned at Maggie and flicked a wrist sending Bianca flying away from Maggie to collide with a wall.

"BIANCA!" Maggie yelled as she began to advance on her girlfriend. The man however grabbed her and held her away from her girlfriend. Bianca winced and stood up slowly, shaking her head to dispel the dizziness.

"Get the hell off her!" she exclaimed weakly to the man who only smirked at her.

"Well, we'll be going now..." Bianca tuned out the mans words and focused her gaze on Maggie hoping for some reassurance and advice. She found however only fear and a moment later the man had disappeared taking Maggie with him...

"No..." Bianca whispered.

A moment later she felt a hand on her arm and looked up to see Faith standing next to her "Bianca?"

"He has Maggie Faith" She said quietly.

Faith nodded, her own eyes shining in worry for Maggie "I know...but let's go home yeah? I'm sure we'll figure something out..."

Bianca nodded numbly as she felt Faith wrap and arm around her waist to help her on the way home.

---

Bianca paused as they entered the house and glanced at Buffy and Faith who hovered behind her unsurely.

"Are you okay?" Faith asked squeezing her hand comfortingly.

Bianca shrugged still finding herself unable to say anything.

"Maybe you should get some rest?" Buffy offered motioning towards the stairs "Faith and I will come and check on you if we find anything..."

Bianca once again nodded emotionlessly and headed upstairs. She entered the room she shared with Maggie and froze as her gaze shifted to the messed up covers. The covers she had shared with Maggie only about an hour previously.

She looked away and clenched her fists at her side, focusing on breathing through the pain.

"Maggie..." she whispered. She felt tears surfacing and pushed them down. She had to be strong. She pulled her jacket and t-shirt off and tossed them onto the floor. When she did she spotted a black hoodie crumpled in the corner.

Maggie she thought to herself as she moved over to it and picked it up. She pulled it on, unable to stop the tears from appearing in her eyes as she was surrounded by Maggie's sweet scent. A moment later she slipped under the covers on Maggie's side of the bed and lifted the neck of the hoodie over her nose inhaling Maggie's scent. Bianca felt her heart shatter into a million little peices as she dissolved into quiet sobs.

"Maggie..." she whimpered into the stillness as her sobs grew louder and more pain filled.

"Bianca?" Faith's voice sounded quietly from behind her. She felt a hand come to rest on her quivering shoulder.

"Faith..." She whimpered as she turned around "Maggie's..."

"I know" Faith pulled Bianca into a comforting embrace allowing the other girl to sob openly into her shoulder.

"I need her Faith!" Bianca exclaimed through sobs "I need her...It wasn't meant to be her..."

Faith frowned as she tried to discern what Bianca meant.

"It'll be okay Bianca" she said in a soft reassuring voice even as her own eyes filled with tears.

"She gonna be scared" Bianca said as her sobs slowed down but tears still rolled freely down her cheeks "She's with him and she'll be terrified...And she'll be...worried about me..."

"I know" the dark haired slayer responded gently "But I promise we'll get her back..."

"I can't lose her Faith!" Bianca sobbed quietly "I can't! I need her..."

Faith remained silent and held Bianca tightly until she fell asleep clutching tightly to Maggie's pillow. The dark haired slayer stood up and walked over to the door. She paused for a moment to look over at Bianca who had tear marks clearly visible on her cheeks as she slept fitfully.

"I promise we'll get her back..." she swore before pulling the door gently shut behind her.
