Maggie tried her best to calm her nerves when Erica Kane was staring her down. Instead of giving in to a stare down contest, Maggie opted to send her bright dazzling smile to Erica Kane's way who only raised an eyebrow and making her signature hair flip before turning back her attention to the approaching bride. At least that's over for now and Maggie smiled wider, she somehow found it amusing annoying La Kane.
During the ceremony as David and Anna are now saying their vows, the love that the two are feeling seemed to have also washed over to the people who are now watching them committing themselves to one another. Maggie looked on with a beaming smile on her face, she once again glanced into the crowd and spotted her two friends. Her smile widened at the sight of the two with Christina seemingly pretty annoyed at the moment trying to hush down Izzy who is now subtlely crying with the bride. Christina caught sight of her and rolled her eyes and whispered "Ok Izzy you better shut that down, you are not even that close to the couple and yet you're crying. Look at Maggie, she's not crying over there but here you are crying over here!" "I just love weddings! They just represent so much love and… and hope!" she sniffled.
As she looked away from her friends shaking her head, her gaze fell on Bianca. At the exact moment Bianca's eyes turned to her direction and their eyes met. They held gazes for a moment staring at each others eyes before Bianca finally looks away.
Reese noted the exchange between Bianca and the maid of honor. Bianca has looked intently at her as she was walking down the aisle and Reese believes that Bianca must have known her. Giving in to her curiosity, "So who is the maid oh honor? Is she from Anna's or David's side?" she asked. Bianca was surprised by the question but fortunately she has quickly recovered with an answer. "She is David's cousin," she said. "Uhmm.. she is Maggie…" she whispered. It's better to lay it out there sooner, Bianca thought. "Oh! Reese replied then it dawned on her… "You mean Maggie? As in 'the Maggie'?" she asked again. "Yup, the one and only!" Bianca replied trying to be nonchalant about it. Reese's brows furrowed and Bianca sensed her uncertainty and in efforts of reassuring her, Bianca reached out for her hand and squeezed it while giving her a meek smile.
The gesture didn't go unnoticed by Maggie as she finally sets her eye on the woman sitting beside Bianca holding a baby. The woman looked up and eyed her. They stared at each other for a while… measuring each other up. That must be her, Maggie thought. Maggie knew that Bianca has moved on, is now married and has a baby. David and Anna had told her the news but she doesn't actually know the details of the relationship, not that she has a right to anyways. And frankly she doesn't wanna know. It's like rubbing salt on an open wound. Looking at them it's like seeing the life that could have been. If she didn't mess up, if Bianca has forgiven her. But now that is the thing of the past but somehow it still stung and she felt the tug in her heart. She should stop this train of thought she scolded herself. But try as she might she couldn't take her eyes off the couple holding hands and then her attention is drawn to the little girl making its way into Bianca's lap. "Oh my God!" she thought, "Miranda! Look how big she is now!" Not trusting to control her emotion any longer she looked down and smiled sadly thinking of the things she's missed with the little girl. After catching sight of Miranda, she dared not look into their direction again least she break down and make a scene. Meanwhile, Trey has seen what transpired and sensed how tensed she must be. As Maggie looked up trying to get her bearings, Trey gave her a reassuring smile. This gave her strength knowing that somebody has her back, at least somebody understands. In return she gave him a nod and a weak smile.
