Part 7
"I'm a daddy!" Stuart almost exclaimed.
David just let out a short laugh and blinked a couple of times…he shared a relative by blood with another Chandler? How much worse could it get.
"I have a…a…"
"Sister…." Edward said nodding his head.
"…Sister…" Maggie said and then looked at Stuart and back at Edward. "I have a sister?"
"Yes…"
"Another sister?"
"Yes…"
"That's still alive…"
"Yes…"
Maggie looked at Edward as she stood up.
"You……'ve got to be fucken kidding me!"

That was three hours ago and since then Maggie had come back to her hotel room and started pacing back and forth as she tried continuously to get in touch with Bianca. She was beyond the point of talking to…she was just…if her mother wasn't dead already she was sure she would have put her mother in the grave she lied in now. Though she knew she was over reacting this was just something she was given the authority to over react about. Stuart Chandler was the father of her sister…a sister she had never met, a sister that she didn't know existed until three hours ago.
Maggie was ready to cry, in frustration and she was three inches away from throwing her cell phone up against the wall just to have the satisfaction of watching it break. Then…it happened. Someone picked up!
"Bianca…! Oh thank god!" Maggie said excitement washing over her as she walked over to her bed and sat down on the edge.
"No…. Maggie its not Bianca."
Maggie froze…"Erica…?"
"In the flesh…so to speak." Erica said into Bianca's cell phone.
"You're in Paris?" Maggie asked then realized it wasn't time for Erica to come for her monthly visit and she'd only be there, if something was wrong. "Oh god…Erica is Bianca all right?" Maggie asked concerned as she shot up from the bed.
"No…Maggie Bianca's not all right." Erica said as she watched her daughter from the corner of her eye talking with Lily and Reggie as Jack held Miranda. Erica turned away from her family and walked to the corner of the room as she continued to speak to Maggie.
"Erica…what's wrong with Bianca…. where are you…what happened…is Miranda there with you, is she ok? What happened?" Maggie asked panicking. "Erica…! Erica.. !" Maggie almost screamed into the phone and then looked at her cell and realized she had lost the call.
Anna walked into their hotel room just as Maggie threw her cell phone towards the wall, and if Anna hadn't walked in it would be broken, but good thing for her and the cell phone she had caught it before it was slammed into the wall. Anna looked up and saw tears streaming down Maggie's face.
"Oh…my gosh…Maggie what happened!" Anna asked as she rushed up to Maggie and caught Maggie as she fell onto her knees. "Maggie…!"
Maggie leaned her head against Anna's shoulder and then lifted it up tears still falling. "When did Adam say he was flying back to Pine Valley?"
Anna looked at Maggie and then thought about it. "At seven thirty…. but Maggie what…"
"I have to go to Pine Valley…. Bianca needs me…" Maggie said as she stood up and moved to grab her things she had an hour to get in touch with Adam and Stuart and convince them to take her back to Pine Valley with them.
How could a day like this get any worse….
CRACK! FLASH!
…..Maggie just had to ask.
Maggie shook her head and grabbed her already packed back and passport, keys, cell and umbrella before she ran out the door leaving it open. Anna grabbed her own things and shoved all of Maggie's forgotten things into her bag and took off running after Maggie as she called David on her cell phone.
"Hayward…"
"David…"
"Anna…?"
"David pack your things and get to the airstrip." Anna said as she ran down the stairs her bag hitting the wall as she slammed into the wall with her shoulder and pushed off of it and continued to run down the flights of stairs.
"Ok…where are we going…?" David asked as he grabbed his bag, he had already packed getting ready to go and look for his cousin who was somewhere in Florida…or that's as far as Edward knew.
Anna sighed and gave the man at the desk flashed her badge and threw a couple hundreds onto the desk and gave him back his room keys before rushing out the doors, grabbing the door of Maggie's cab just before she closed it and pushed herself in.
Panting Anna answered. "…We're going back to Pine Valley."
TBC….
