Chapter 1
"Bianca we have to hurry or we're going to miss our flight!" Maggie yelled up the stairs
"I'm going as fast as I can. I'm packing for two ya know!" Bianca yelled back
It was 8:30am. Their plane left in an hour and a half and Kendall had not even picked up Miranda yet. Bianca and Maggie both figured it was time for them to get away for a while. They had planned a week long vacation to Myrtle Beach. Neither one knew exactly how much they would enjoy it. Ever since Bianca and Maggie had gotten together they hadn't been away from Miranda for more than two days at a time. But they trusted Kendall. She loved that little girl with everything she was. And she was happy to see Maggie and Bianca take a break for a while. Having a baby was hard work.
Knock, knock, knock. "Hey guys, I'm here!" Kendall announced as she walked in.
"Finally" Maggie said "I don't even know why you bother knocking Kendall. You never wait for anyone to tell you to come in."
"I know, dontcha just love that" Kendall replied
Actually Maggie kinda did. She loved how Kendall felt so at home there. But what she really loved was how Kendall loved her. That was as opposed to the way Erica felt about her. The phone rang as Bianca was running down the stairs with Miranda in her arms. She stopped to pick it up before she reached Maggie and Kendall. Kendall, however, couldn't wait to hold Miranda so she walked over and took her from Bianca.
"Yes mom and there's nothing you can say or do to stop me" Bianca said into the phone. "I just wish you would stop trying. It's getting old."
Maggie and Kendall looked at each other knowing what Bianca meant. Erica didn't like Maggie and she definitely didn't want Bianca going anywhere with her. "You would think after all this time she would at least accept me" Maggie said feeling hurt. "Don't worry about her. She hasn't fully accepted me yet but it sure isn't raining on my parade" Kendall assured her.
"Mom I don't want to do this now. I told you to leave me alone about this. If you can't accept it, it's not my problem so don't do this to me!" Bianca was furious. She knew how stubborn her mother was. Kendall had the same stubbornness as did Bianca, but neither showed it like their mother. It was a Kane woman legacy. Stand up for what you believe in. But right now they had different opinions and were going head to head. "You know what, it sounds as though you aren't going to stop trying to talk me out of this so I'll make it easy on both of us." Bianca said hanging up on Erica
"Wow little sis, it's not everyday someone hangs up on Erica Kane." Kendall said smiling at her sister.
"Well it's not everyday that I'm running this late and don't have time to hear her mouth" replied Bianca
"We better go get everything and take it out to the car." Maggie almost whispered as she walked up the stairs
Bianca looked at Kendall who was playing with Miranda. The look in her eyes let Bianca know something was wrong, so she followed Maggie up the stairs. When she walked into her room Maggie was looking out the window.
"Hey sweetie, what's wrong?" asked Bianca was she walked up behind Maggie and put her arms around her.
"Nothing." Maggie said as she turned around and kissed Bianca. But Bianca knew better. She knew Maggie well enough to know that when she was like this it was never nothing. Nevertheless they gathered all of the bags and took them downstairs without another word.
"OK Kendall here are Miranda's bags. These two have her clothes in them, this one has her shoes, and those two on the couch have her diapers, bottles, and toys." Bianca said
"Wow she really is a Kane woman. She's only going to be at my house for a week and she needs five bags!" Kendall said laughing.
"Haha. She's a baby, she needs all of this stuff!" Bianca said in defense
"A whole bag just for shoes Binks? Yes I'm sure she'd be devastated without them." Kendall said picking up Miranda
"OK let's get all the bags in the car or we won't be going anywhere." Maggie said
When they walked out to their cars Kendall put Miranda in the car seat that was already in her car. "I sure am glad you have that Kendall. It's saving time this morning." Bianca said to her sister. "Yes well, anything I can do to help." said Kendall smiling. Bianca just laughed as she got in on the passenger's side and looked at an obviously upset Maggie. Neither said anything as they drove off.
Bianca and Maggie hadn't been driving ten minutes when Bianca realized she had left the plane tickets at home. "Oh my gosh, Maggie!" "What!" Maggie asked startled. "I left the plane tickets on the coffee table! We have to go back!" Bianca said in a panic "It's OK baby, calm down. The plane doesn't leave for another hour. It'll be fine." Maggie tried to reassure her.
When they got back to the house Bianca ran in and got the tickets. On their way back to the airport Maggie was driving faster than she had the first time. Bianca knew if they were late it would be her fault. As she was driving Maggie had her mind on other things. She didn't see the car running the stop sign and Bianca's screams were too late. The car ran right into Maggie's side of the car.
