"Omg, its too soon Anna"
"ok sweetie hold on, don't push" she commanded
"its ripping me!" a blood curdling scream came forth before the petite woman collapsed/
"Maggie! Oh god there's too much blood, hold on honey I'm taking you to the hospital" the older woman said lifting the blond into her arms.
"Bianca'" the girl gasped out painfully clutching her stomach
"I'm calling her Maggie"
"No! It's too late Anna, she made her choice" came a painful gasp." Oh god! Its way to early…Too too early" she cried.
Present day Pine Valley (seven years later)
Bianca rolled over, the morning dawn crept through her blinds. Marissa slept soundly. The brunette smiled thoughtfully at her lover before sighing. It was a few weeks from Miranda's birthday which always reminded her of Maggie. She pressed her fingers to forehead. Maggie had been on her mind almost nonstop for the last six months. Maybe it was Miranda's new found attitude that was driving it. The brunette eased out of the bed careful not to wake her girlfriend.
She pulled a robe around her frame and crept in to check on Miranda. As she peeped through the door she could see her little girl snoring soundly. She crept in and stood watching her sleep. Her heart ached when she thought back to the times when her child had been presumed dead.
But Maggie pulled you through.
She shook her head of the thought. That was a long time ago. And she was happy now with Marissa and the girls and little A. This was her family now. She tucked a dark lock of the child's hair behind her ear. Her hand moved to the article being clutched between fingers. She turned the paper over and saw it was a old picture of Maggie holding Miranda and Bianca holding Maggie from behind. They were so happy. They were a family
Bianca closed her eyes and sighed. A family.
Maggie are u sure you want this? The brunette asked again trying to keep the pleading out of her voice
"Baby I want us. I want this family. If you can't do it, I will." She smiled brightly, her hazel eyes full of love.
"I love you, you know that"
"Good because I love you just as much" the blond said kissing those soft lips
Bianca pulled herself from the memory. God, when would she ever be over Maggie Stone.
Brooklyn New York
"Chris! Lets go. Baby I'm going to be late" Maggie bellowed as she pulled her scrub top on and grabbed her medical coat. "Christian!"
"Im coming!" the little boy yelled as he stumbled down the stairs of their loft. "Geez mom, its is like 6 am" he grumbled as he jumped down the last stair and pouted at her
Maggie couldn't help but smile at her son. "Honey I know what time it is. But I have to get in to the hospital. I'm working a double tonight so I will pick you up from Ms Kingston's' around 10 tonight. DO NOT GET INTO TROUBLE today" Maggie fixed with a hard stare.
"Ma its summer, that's what kids are supposed to do"
"No its not officially summer" Maggie said narrowing her eyes on her 7 ½ yr old. "Getting kicked out of school does not make it summer"
"ma school was going to be out in like a week anyway. I was getting a head start" he smiled proud of himself of thinking of something clever. He took a bite of the pop tart she handed him looking on with a smirk.
Maggie sighed taking in the sight of her child in. She ruffled his unruly dark hair. He smiled up at her and her heart stopped. At was times like this that he- she stopped herself. She cupped his heart shaped face and kissed his cheeks. "Where your hat today ok hun, it's gonna be a scorcher and we both know your skin is delicate"
"awe maaa" he pouted grabbing his duffle bag
"I love you baby" Maggie said
"I love you to mama" he smiled with his dark eyes. Her eyes.
"Ok then, let's go baby. Ill see you tonight" she reminded them as the bounded out their door.
Pine Valley, Pa
Miranda sat at the table at BJ's with her Aunt Kendall, her mother and her cousins. She was pushing her fries around in her ketchup wistfully. Kendall arched a eyebrow at her sisters and motioned to her niece.
Bianca sighed as she reached across the table to stop her daughter's hands. "What's the matter?" she said softly. "Baby its your birthday in few weeks. And schools almost out." She tried to get a smile out of her.
Miranda stared into her mothers eyes…"Can anything I want?" she hedged
Kendall smirked at her sister…"What is it you want Mimo"
"Clothes?" Bianca smiled knowing her daughters love of fashion. It seemed her kid was getting to be more like her mother than she realized.
"Nope" Miranda said reaching over to sip her cola
"No?" Bianca echoed
"Something I want more than anything" Miranda said softly, her eyes holding her mothers.
"What baby?" Bianca said clutching the little girl's hands with hers. "You only turn twelve once"
"I wanna see my mother" Miranda said finally
Bianca released her hands and sat back speechless and Kendall eyed both mother and daughter.
"Whose you mom?" Spike spoke up finally watching the women
"That's what I want to know" Kendall chimed in turning to look down at her niece.
Bianca closed her eyes. "Honey Reese and I aren't"
"Oh god! Mother, Reese is not and has never been my mother" Miranda said irritably.
Bianca just stared at her before realization dawned on her. "Oh"
"yea oh" Miranda echoed trying not to roll her eyes.
"oh what?" Spike and Kendall asked…
"She means Maggie" Bianca said gently as she began to wring her hands. She could feel this brewing for the last few months. Miranda was not especially happy with Marissa as he girlfriend and she had no use for Reese. But then Reese had completely abandoned Gabrielle after losing the suit.
"well?" the brunette asked impatiently
"Honey, Maggie is..I mean.. I don't know where she is?"Bianca said quietly.
"You could find her" Miranda said impatiently.
"Mimo, its been years since your mother and Maggie were together" Kendell said quickly seeing her sister falter
"So, that doesn't change the fact that she practically raised me" the little girl said setting her chin stubbornly.
"Ok ok calm down" the curly haired brunette laughed. " But Im just saying."
"No, that's what I want for my birthday. Ok Mom. I miss her I don't know why don't" she said quietly looking down into her fries.
Bianca found her voice " I never said I didn't Miranda"
"Don't you care about her? You said she was your best friend. Friends check on each other. I miss her mom. One day she was there and then she wasn't. She was just gone" Miranda whispered.
"Baby I..I I m sorry" Bianca stammered finally realizing just what she had taken from her daughter all these years. She want just taking her away from her girlfriend but keeping a child from their parent. Miranda was missing her other parent all these years..
"Don't be sorry just find her ok" Miranda pleaded with her eyes
Kendall looked at those sad eyes and sighed…"I ll get Tad on it" she smiled.
Bianca nodded mutely squeezing her daughters hand tightly.
