A/N: Sorry this ones just as small as the other one but the next chapters will get longer.

Part 17B

Maggie nodded and rolled her eyes, that was her reaction as well. She'd been expecting Bianca's to be like hers, just not exactly like hers. Maggie saw Bianca smiling and knew that what ever she chose to do Bianca would be behind her one hundred and ten percent. Maggie let Bianca pull her in for a hug and she closed her eyes as she snuggled her head into Bianca's shoulder, her eyes closing once again. Everything was right in the world or Maggie's world for the moment. She and Bianca would talk about this but in the end it was up to her what was going to happen if and when they found her sister, and she knew Bianca would respect that.

"I'm still sorry I wasn't there for you Maggie." Bianca whispered into Maggie's ear.

"You're here for me now Bianca." Maggie whispered as she pulled back so she could look into Bianca's eyes. "You're here with me now...I'm here with you now...that's all that matters to me." Maggie said as she ran her hand down Bianca's cheek. "I love you so much Bianca."

Bianca closed her eyes and leaned into Maggie's touch. "I love you too Maggie."

Maggie smiled and leaned forward and placed a chaste kiss on Bianca's lips, the door opened and warned Maggie that their kiss couldn't be anything more but chaste. Maggie looked up and saw Reggie standing in the doorway signaling for her to come out, Bianca opened her eyes when Maggie pulled away and looked at her blonde lover confused until she turned her head in the direction Maggie was looking and saw Reggie signaling them to come out. Maggie and Bianca smiled and waved Reggie away and he smiled at them making kissing faces before rushing out of the room when they both reached for something to throw at him. Bianca and Maggie looked at Reggie's retreating back and smiled as they laughed.

"I guess its time to go back to the party." Bianca said turning back to Maggie.

"Not just yet..." Maggie said and leaned forward and brought her lips to Bianca's smiling when Bianca leaned back till her back was on the floor and Maggie was lying half on half off of her.

"Oh...I like you're thinking." Bianca said before she brought her lips up to meet Maggie's once again. "Mmm...I take that back I love your thinking."

Maggie smiled and laughed as she pulled away and leaned her head against Bianca's forehead laughing as she shook her head back and forth. She pecked Bianca's lips several times before she got up and helped Bianca up to her feet.

"You may love my thinking but you won't love me if someone happens to walk in on us...that someone preferably being your mother." Maggie said as she took hold of Bianca's hand and smiled as she watched Bianca cringe.

"Oh...yes well that's no good." Bianca said shaking her head as she laughed before stopping them right as they reached the hallway. "Did I happen to tell you how much I enjoyed the look on my mothers face after you kissed me last night, and this morning?" Bianca asked smiling.

"No, you didn't." Maggie said playfully.

"Oh...well I love you oh so much for it." Bianca said as she leaned her head on Maggie's shoulder.

Maggie looked at Bianca and kissed the top of her head and laced their fingers together as they walked into the living room. Everyone had moved into the living room it seemed. Melissa, Kendall and Greenlee were all on one couch while Josh, Erica and Jack were on the other. Lily was on the arm chair with Jonathan sitting on the arm of the chair leaning back against it his arm wrapped around it, though he made sure it wasn't touching Lily. As Maggie and Bianca looked through the room and smiled when they saw Reggie on the floor with Kathleen and Miranda playing some foot game with them, Josh playing as well except he was sitting on the couch. Bianca looked up at Maggie before she went over to their little girl and sat down behind her, lifting her up into her lap and just watched her little girl's feet as they played what ever game they were playing.

Maggie smiled as she stood in the doorway to the living room just watching Bianca and Miranda surrounded by their family. It was almost perfect, almost. Maggie smiled as she looked around the room and she stopped mid turn of her head when her eyes made eye contact with Erica. She froze slightly, her smile still plastered to her face as she looked at Erica, and she watched as Erica smiled as well and nodded her head before turning back to the conversation Erica was having with Kendall and Jack about a family attorney.

Maggie looked over at Bianca and saw she had seen the small acknowledgement Erica had given her and they both smiled. No matter what both of them knew what that small nod meant and they were both thrilled, Bianca more so but Maggie was calmed by it more then excited about it. Erica gave her blessing no matter how small it was her blessing and neither Maggie nor Bianca would need Erica to clarify it because they knew this was all they were going to get for the time being, but they could both live with that. Yes, they could live with that easily.

The door bell interrupted the silent conversation Maggie and Bianca were having, Maggie turned toward the door and put her hand up to Erica.

"I got it Erica." Maggie said and Erica smiled and thanked her before she sat back down and went to talking to Jack about finding that family attorney for Kendall.

Maggie smiled as she walked through the living room, passing by Bianca and Miranda so she could just touch Bianca's shoulder letting the brunette know they'd talk soon, with just one touch. Bianca watched Maggie walk through the house as if she were floating on air, no matter how much Maggie would deny it later she was just as excited that Erica had given them her blessing, even in the smallest way possible. Bianca waited till Maggie looked back at her, when she reached the door, before she turned back to Miranda and asked how they were playing this game of theirs. Kathleen and Miranda started talking to her trying to explain how the game was played.
