Oops that's two Monday intros I've forgotten. Sorry to those of you who like the spoilers.

SPOILERS - this week - Spike meets a choreographer, the kids play cupid and Marissa plans for a big family fun day.

...

It was late at night as Marissa drove home from a long day at work. She was going to have to make it up to the kids with a seriously amazing family fun day this Saturday. She had a good idea. The sign painters had sent her an e-mail this morning, AJ's boat was finished. Marissa thought it might be nice to have a grand launching party… Maybe Bianca could launch The Binks in full ceremony… That would really make AJ's day.

…

Marissa crept back into the house so as not to disturb it's sleeping inhabitants but she was surprised to see the light was on in the master bedroom. Bianca was still awake.

Marissa opened the door to find Bianca sitting up in bed waiting for her.

As she pulled off her jacket, Marissa lent in to give her fiancé a brief kiss.

"How did it go with the doctor today?" she whispered.

"I got up and finally walked," said Bianca, "Just a few steps but I walked."

"That is good news." said Marissa as she continued to undress ready for bed. "So why are you up so late?"

"Would you believe I was waiting up for you?" Bianca asked.

"Only until you asked that question." said Marissa turning to Bianca in concern. "Has something happened?"

Bianca pulled an 'I don't want to talk about this' face.

"Come on." prompted Marissa, as she pulled out her nightdress. "You wouldn't have stayed up if you didn't want to tell me."

"I had a bit of a row with Reese." Bianca finally admitted.

"Reese?"

"She's brought a house. She's serious about moving to Pine Valley."

"And you had a row about this?"

"She says she's doing this to make a fresh start."

"Okay." said Marissa as she stepped into the bathroom to clean her teeth.

"But then in her next breath she tells me she wants me to help her!" called Bianca, raising her voice so she could be heard in the next room. "She talked about the kids too. I just don't know what she wants and worst I don't think she knows either."

"She didn't try to kiss you?" Marissa asked as she stepped back into the room, the toothbrush still in her mouth. She was only half joking

"No." said Bianca. "I think she's over that but…!"

"But..?" asked Marissa.

"But… I don't know."

Marissa held up a finger to hold the conversation while she finished cleaning her teeth.

…

Marissa climbed into bed, putting her arms around her girlfriend and snuggling against her.

"Do you know what I think?" she asked.

Bianca turned and nuzzled her girlfriend's cheek.

"I would love to know what you think." she said turning into the embrace.

"I think maybe we need to find Reese a purpose, if that is what she's looking for."

"And what do you suggest?"

"There's Maggie…"

Bianca frowned.

"You're saying we should set them up?"

"I think maybe if things work well between them Reese might will feel happier about going back home. This talk about moving to Pine Valley only started after whatever happened on Valentine's Day."

Bianca nodded, her cheek still resting against Marissa's forehead.

Marissa turned and leaned up to kiss Bianca on the lips.

"…And then maybe you won't let Reese upset you."

Bianca sighed at the kiss.

"I think I just upset myself." said Bianca. "I hate losing my temper. It just feels like she's intruding on our happiness. Is that selfish?"

"I think you are allowed to be selfish once in a while."

"But still…"

Bianca sighed and kissed Marissa brow to distract herself from her unhappy thoughts.

"I know." whispered Marissa sympathetically stroking the back of the hand that rested on her waist.

"She just…"

"…Pushes your buttons."

Bianca nodded and stared intently at Marissa.

"And you push very different buttons." she whispered.

Marissa's smile turned a little coy.

"But the doctors said…"

"…I have the all clear from my doctor for my back."

Marissa perked up.

"You do?"

Bianca nodded.

"It's the other reason I was waiting up for you."

They kissed warmly and Marissa grasped Bianca's cheek to keep her close and deepen the kiss.

"That's a much better reason."

"Yes it is." said Bianca, leaning in to kiss Marissa deeply once more.
