I don't like what happened to BAM well who does right? I felt like Maggie was left hanging since nothing's really tying her to PV except for Bianca. Hence I felt the need to tell her story after PV. There will be angst between BAM but mostly this is a Maggie fic, she's my main character for a change…

"Hi Anna!" Maggie chirped a little too enthusiastically… "Oh don't give me that look! I'm here aren't I?"

"Well… yeah but your 30 minutes late!" Anna huffed. "I told you to be here soon! David and I were expecting you last night! I can't believe this... I can't believe your making me late on my own wedding! Where were you?"

"Oh! Oh! There was a big surgery last night! As in major!" Christina excitedly offered.

"Yang! You're not helping!" Maggie admonished.

"But it was... I mean we couldn't have passed that... surgeries like that don't just come everyday…"

"What?! You're late coz you can't pass up a surgery… What kind of surgery is this that is so important…?"

Maggie just gave her a pleading look…

"Ok I don't even wanna know… we're already running late as it is... and where's your other shoe?!"

"Oh got it! Here you go Mags... it was left in the cab!" Izzie replied.

"Thanks Iz" Maggie said as she puts on the shoe while holding on to Christina for balance.

Anna just rolled her eyes and let out a big sigh of exasperation.

"Ms. Devane…" Anna just gave her a look "I mean future Mrs. Hay… ah… Mrs. Dr. Hayward.. wait is that right?"

"You can just call me Anna Izzie! Please just call me Anna."

"Well uhmm... Anna… we really tried to get here as soon as possible… I mean Maggie practically just showered on the plane and we had to change and get her make-up done on a moving taxi on our way here from the airport" Izzie commended holding up the make up and lipstick she's holding.

"Yeah I think the driver got an eyeful!" Christina laughed out! Both Maggie and Izzie just glared at her. "What?! Ok... I'm shutting up now..."

"That is beside the fact that little missy here is having a cold feet of her own attending the wedding… so really she's trying here… I mean she practically begged us to accompany her here… although having the sparkly pager for 3 days is not such a bad bargain…" Izzie continued.

"A what?" Anna asked confused, but the thought of Maggie feeling terrified for being back in PV softened her resolve. "Nevermind! And I'm glad that you're here for Maggie and for my wedding" she smiled.

"I told you to just get someone else to be your maid of honor… I would have been cool just being one of the guests… besides it's not really my kinda scene you know and..." "Nonesense!" Anna chided, "you're family and I want you there! Do you hear me?"

"Well, why else would I be doing this? It's all for you guys... I didn't even think that I would set foot to Pine Valley again!" Anna just gave her a look.

"Ok... ok maybe I thought about it… but if ever it's only just so I can visit you and David and… and Frankie.." she trailed off. "And I specially didn't expect that I'll be facing half the town… who most probably hate me… on my first day back!" she said… now sounding horrified.

Anna finally gave her a break and now really felt bad for the woman who she considers a daughter. "I know it's a big deal for you being here… being back and all… facing the people from your past… I believe it's also a huge step that you're making… and I'm very very grateful that you're here for us!" Anna smiled encouragingly at Maggie. "Plus if you haven't been rejecting our invitation or if you have at least come sooner… you could have tested the waters and ease into it… But unfortunately… now you have to march right into it!" Anna said hoping not to alarm Maggie but failing miserably as she saw the look on Maggie's face.

"Ok I can't do this!" Maggie started panicking.

Anna just clasped Maggie's hand and squeezed it. "Yes you can!" she said. You can't let the past run you around! People make mistakes! Big deal! Plus, I don't think Bianca would care less… Maggie just gave her a disbelieving look. "Ok maybe she'll have some kind of reaction not to mention Erica! But she has moved on now and from the looks of it she's very happy. People have moved on with their lives! And I guess it's high time that you come back and face the music…make amends or rebuild the relationship you lost with the people that still cares a great deal about you!" Maggie just looked at her quite unsure. "There's nothing to hide Maggie…" Anna looked into her eyes "You're a beautiful person inside and out! You're a better person now than you were before. Just look at the things you've done and accomplished! You're now a doctor for God's sake… all at your own merit and a good one at that if I may add!"

"Yeah Mags! In fact we rock in the OR!" Christina chimed in.

Maggie couldn't help but laugh at that and with the laughter her confidence starts to return and rise up as well… Yes, they do rock that OR! She beamed at Anna and her friends. She has indeed come a long way and she is her own person now.

"Ok! No more running!" Maggie finally said. "Besides, I think David will hunt me down if you don't go down that aisle!" she teased.

"Oh don't I know it?! I told him there'll be no wedding without my maid of honor!" Anna chuckled.

"Ok we better get going then!" Maggie enthused now afraid that David might indeed have her head.

"Finally!" Izzy and Christina said in unison.

"By the way… You really look good for someone who got her hair and make-up done in a taxi!" Anna teased.

"Well thank you!" Maggie beamed. "You really looked beautiful too Anna… I know David will be ecstatic to see you! And he's so lucky to have you as his wife! And I'm glad that you'll officially become part of our… erm dysfunctional family!" she laughed.

"Scary as it may seem, but I'm glad to be in it!" Anna replied back.

"Anna! Oh is this the missing maid of honor?" After earning a nod, the wedding planner exclaimed… "Finally!" But not after rolling his eyes. " Ok good, we have to start the wedding ceremony soon… as in now!" he reprimanded clapping his hands gesturing that they better move and make it snappy!

"Ok! Ok!" Maggie scoffed.

"Well well well… I think we got our little confident spitfire doctor back!" Izzy mused as she watched Maggie walk with such rhythm in her pace.

"Yeah well... see this!" she said. "This is me facing the music! And oh yeah… I'm bringing sexy back!" she winked as she strutted towards the entrance hall.
