Anyway...hope you all enjoy.

Part 12

Maggie had her hand in a tight fist, and was slamming it against the wooden door of Erica's home. She wanted answer and wanted them now, no she wanted Bianca and if Erica didn't let her in soon she was willing to break the door down. Tears were silently streaming down her face as she continued to pound on the door.

David had grabbed Anna and pulled her away from Maggie when he noticed how mind set Maggie was on getting that door to open. Anna looked up at David and pulled herself out of his arms and just watched as Maggie knocked on the door. Then when they were both about to bring her back to the car, afraid that she would break the door down because no one was opening it, the front porch light turned on and the sound of locks being unlocked reached their ears.

"Okay…okay….calm down I'm here!" Erica's voice was heard on the other side of the door.

Maggie took a step away from the door when she saw it start to open, once it was open she stared Erica right in the eyes and watched, with amusement, as Erica realized it was her and soon started to stutter as she tried to talk to her. Maggie liked surprising Erica, surprising Erica meant that she was going to get answers, surprising Erica mean hell was going to break lose but that was ok, just as long as she knew Bianca and Miranda were ok.

"M…Mag….Maggie…!" Erica stuttered as she was pushed to the side and Maggie rushed past her into the house. Erica closed the door, before she even saw Anna and David. She turned toward Maggie and crossed her arms over her chest as she tightened the ropes of her robe, watching as Maggie got familiar with the room, before turning back to her.

"Where is Bianca?!" Maggie asked as she turned to look at Erica, cutting to the chase.

"Bianca's in bed, like the rest of Pine Valley like normal people should be." Erica said as she took a step down from the doorway and into the living room as she eyed Maggie. 'She came all this way, from god knows where because I told her Bianca didn't need her anymore and she wasn't okay? God….I was so wrong about her.' Erica thought as she circled Maggie.

Maggie stood still and just waited for Erica to get off her predator high, she sighed and turned her head to look at Erica and crossed her arms over her chest. She had visibly calmed down when she realized that Erica was sleeping, that meant Bianca and Miranda were okay because if they weren't Erica wouldn't be sleeping.

"Where is she!?" Maggie asked again looking at Erica.

"And again I say she's in bed." Erica said looking at Maggie and yawning. "I think the question is where were you?" Erica asked.

Maggie gave Erica a small smirk and rolled her eyes. "That's none of you're….."

"Mom….?" A very tired and hoarse voice said from the hallway entrance to the living room. Maggie immediately turned around and smiled when she saw Bianca rubbing her eyes with her hand and yawning as she spoke. God…even with messed up hair, a bunched up T-shirt and…. nothing else Bianca was the most beautiful thing Maggie had ever seen.

"Bianca…" Maggie whispered smiling ear to ear.

Bianca had woken up to the excessive banging on the door and when her mother had passed her in the hallway she told her to go back to sleep, she was going to but curiosity got to her and she couldn't go back to sleep without knowing who it was. Bianca yawned and when she opened her eyes she heard her name whispered and she immediately knew the voice.

"Maggie!?" Bianca asked snapping out of any sleep endeavor she might have been in.

Maggie let out a small laugh and rushed toward Bianca as Bianca did the same. Erica be damned once they were in close proximity of the other they threw their arms around each other and pulled each other into a searing kiss. After being apart for so long they were just accustomed to having their hello kiss make them breathless, and they didn't care who saw them it didn't matter to them anymore who saw or who didn't. They were together, happy, and in love.

Bianca was the first to pull back from the kiss and once she did she couldn't help the sob that she released as she pulled Maggie closer to her and closed her eyes as tears slowly fell.

"Oh…. Maggie…where were you?" Bianca asked.

Erica who had been almost knocked off her feet when she witnessed that kiss took solace in the fact that someone else was knocking at her door. She didn't care who right then because it was a distraction from the sight she just saw, not that it didn't warm her heart to see that smile on Bianca's face it was just…no mother should have to witness their child kiss someone like that…. EVER! Erica didn't even wonder why someone else would be knocking on her door as she opened it, her trance completely blown to sea when she saw who was standing at the door. She blinked a few times; wondering how much more wrong this night could go.

"What are you two doing here?" Erica asked venom in her voice, and then she thought about it. "What are you two doing her together?!"

Anna rolled her eyes. She waited for Erica to invite them in, but never got the invite.

"Well, your insane if you think I'm going to invite you in!" Erica said, as she was about to close the door when Bianca and Maggie walked up behind her.

"Anna…!" Bianca said and Anna taking this chance brushed past Erica and hugged Bianca.

Erica was staring at Anna stunned, that she didn't have any time to stop David from slipping through the door and up to Anna. Once she saw David standing by Anna she looked out the door and then back at David before throwing her arms up and just closing the door. What was the point of having a front door if you weren't allowed to shut the people you didn't want in, out?

Erica just stood in the background watching the interaction between the four in the doorway. Slightly peeved that she couldn't at least shut the door in David's face. Though she kept quiet she was rather upset that of all people to let David hug them, Maggie seemed to be chummy with him. Maggie had been her partner when she was angry at Krystal, David, Babe and all those responsible for keeping Miranda away from Bianca, but now…now it was like Babe & Bianca forgiveness all over again, except this was David.

"Thank you…" Bianca said as she looked at Anna and then turned to David. "…both of you for being with Maggie." Bianca said, she wasn't sure why they had to be there for Maggie when she couldn't but she was glad to know someone had been there for Maggie when she needed someone.

"Well, now that she's back where she belongs, its time for us to go." Anna said and yawned.

Bianca saw this and smiled at Anna. "I'm sure you could stay here." Bianca said as she turned toward her mother and saw the look on her mothers face and rolled her eyes. "I'm sure she'd…."

"Oh…no…. I'm ok. I think I'll just go home with David." Anna said as she looked at Bianca, this as the last place she wanted to be, spending the night in the same house as Erica Kane, hell no!

David looked at Anna and smiled as he walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist, winking at Erica when she looked their way. Erica rolled her eyes and groaned before looking away.

Maggie looked at Anna and David and smiled she squeezed Bianca's hand and let go for the first time since they'd said their 'hellos'. She opened her arm and Anna and David nodded saying their goodbyes to Bianca as they walked to the door with Maggie. Once there, Maggie pulled them both into a separate hug. She owed them so much, she had no way to repay what they had done for her and as she was about to say something they both stopped her.

"Don't worry about it Maggie. You're family." They both said in union and looked at each other, smiled and then turned back to Maggie each giving her one last hug before walking out the door.

"Don't forget we have breakfast plans!" Anna said to Maggie and Maggie smiled and nodded her head in acknowledgement.

Maggie watched as they walked to the car, Anna insisting that she drive and David just giving in, to tired to argue with her. Maggie felt arms slip around her waist and she smiled as she leaned back into Bianca, both watching as Anna and David left. Maggie felt warm and she felt safe, love and for the first time in days she felt at peace. Once the car was out of the driveway Maggie closed the door, Bianca standing behind her waiting for her.

Maggie turned around and looked into Bianca's eyes and felt her heart melt. She never wanted to be apart from Bianca again, but knew in the upcoming months she was going to have to be. She had to find her sister and she also had to find a way to tell Bianca about all of this. Maggie knew she couldn't tell her now and as Bianca took her hand she knew she had all the time she needed because Bianca wasn't going to rush her.

Erica and Jack stood in the living room watching the two women and then Erica realized something. "Oh Jack…come help me we have to set up the guest room for Maggie." Erica said as she turned with Jack to get the things ready but both of them stopped when they heard Bianca's voice.

"Mom…Maggie isn't going to need the guest bedroom. She's going to be sleeping with me." Bianca said as she walked past her mother and uncle Jack back toward her bedroom.

It wasn't until the door closed that Erica just realized what had happened and closed her eyes. She'd get over it, as long as Maggie made Bianca happy that was all that mattered, and looking into Jack's eyes she knew he had the exact, same thought run through his head. The two held hands and walked back to their bedroom, both feeling safety in the fact that tomorrow could not be anything like the day this turned out to be.

Back in the car

Anna pulled out of the driveway and then realized something as she turned the car toward the right street. Anna looked at David when they reached a stoplight and hoped he gave her the answer she was hoping for.

"David…"

"Yes…?"

"Did you happen to buy REAL furniture while I was gone?" Anna asked remembering the strange pieces of furniture David had last time, the couch looked more like a piece of art then a couch.

David laughed. "Yes…..Anna I was forced to by Babe." David said laughing as Anna continued to drive.

'Thank god….' Anna thought. '…Now I don't have to kick him out of the bed…I can just sleep on a real couch.'
