Chapter Two
"James Martin I asked you a question! What are you doing here?" Maggie asked, launching herself into Jamie's arms.
"That's actually a really long story," a voice said from behind him. Jamie stepped aside to reveal Babe, with James in tow. "Can we come in?"
Maggie's eyes fumed as they locked with Babes. "After everything you've done, you think you can just waltz back here and…"
"Let them in Maggie," Bianca whispered. "There's a lot that needs to be said." Maggie stepped aside and allowed the three to enter the room. Closing the door behind them, Maggie leaned against the wood panel and crossed her arms.
"Bianca, thank god you are ok," Babe said, moving closer to Bianca.
"That's close enough, Babe," Maggie said, running to Bianca's side. "Why are you here?"
Jamie opened his mouth to respond, only to be shushed by Maggie. "I asked her," she said sternly.
"We're here to do what's right, Maggie." Babe locked eyes with Bianca. "Raising James on the run…he deserves more than that. He deserves a real life," she said, looking down at the sleeping child. "Tad told us that you were planning on telling J.R. about his son, but I need to do it."
Jamie walked over and placed his arm around her shoulder. "We need to do it," he said, "But we need your help."
Maggie laughed harshly, "Bianca, you can't seriously be considering helping them?"
Bianca shook her head, "I'm not. I'm helping James." With that, she motioned for Jamie and Babe to leave. Maggie led them to the door, letting her hand linger slightly on Jamie's back. It hurt her to be so harsh to her friend, but he had help hurt Bianca. Maggie closed the door and turned to face Bianca. Bianca's eyes were locked on the ground and it pained Maggie to see her love like this.
Slowly moving closer to Bianca, Maggie wrapped her arms around the taller girl's waist. "Are you ok?" she asked, gently rubbing Bianca's stomach.
Bianca closed her eyes and leaned slightly into the touch, sighing she said, "I'm not sure, but you being here makes this easier."
Maggie rested her forehead against Bianca's back, "I'll always be here for you Bianca."
As if on cue, Maggie's cell phone began to ring. Maggie let out a frustrated sigh and picked it up, "Hello? Jonathon? Wait slow down, what happened?" Maggie's frightened eyes turned to face Bianca, "Oh my god."
Bianca suddenly felt her heart race inside her chest, "Maggie?" she asked slowly. When Maggie didn't respond she asked again, "Maggie!?"
Maggie hung up her phone and faced Bianca, "I-It's Kendall…Bianca, there's been an accident."
