Okay...so it took a lot longer then expected to put up another update. Again sorry about that. Just hope you'll continue to read and enjoy. So...here's the newest update.

Part 34

Once in the car Miranda moved to the far window and staid there she didn't want to be touched right now. She wasn't sure where they were going, just as long as it was far away from where they were now she was fine. She couldn't go to that grave, she hadn't been there in almost three years and she wasn't going now, not now she just couldn't. It wouldn't be the same this time as it was the last, she wasn't Babe's daughter anymore and right now she wasn't sure she could handle going there. Babe meant a lot to her, she was her mother from when she was only a mere infant and she still felt like Babe was her mother, and she had the feeling of lose there, it wouldn't go away, the feeling of losing another mother. Its just now, that same loss hit her now and it made her sick to her stomach because she knew she wouldn't be able to lose another mother she just couldn't.

Bianca meant the world to Miranda, its just there were so many things, so… so many things that she found out. So many things that made her want to crawl under a rock and just never be found again. How Bianca could love her was beyond her, and she wasn't sure she wanted to know the truth. She'd rather feel the lose of one mother and not have to feel it again with her real mother, one that only pretends to love her, which in the end would hurt so much more.

Miranda barely comprehended that she was starting to shake until she felt Ashley try and grab her arms and hold her, she pulled away not allowing the touch, though she knew she needed it. Ashley tried once again and Miranda pulled her arm away from Ashley once again, only to have that hand on her side and an arm around her waist holding her, no matter how hard she tried to get away. Ashley wouldn't let go and though Miranda knew she had elbowed her a few times in the ribs, stomach and once in the face Ashley didn't let go and soon Miranda just found herself relaxed and leaning into Ashley's arms.

"You were shaking." Ashley whispered into Miranda's ear as she started to rub up and down Miranda's arms trying to cause heat, the brunette was freezing. "God…you're so cold." Ashley said as she continued to rub her hands up and down Miranda's arms causing some friction.

"You wouldn't be touching me if you knew. You wouldn't be here if you knew!" Miranda whispered, her eyes gazing at the black window that separated the driver's side from them.

"Miranda, I don't understand." Ashley said. "Why wouldn't I be touching you or wouldn't be here if I knew? If I knew what?"

Miranda looked down at the floor of the car and when the car hit a bump she jumped and turned and hid in Ashley's shoulder as the tears started, she hated cars she hated them! Miranda weighed her choices, she could tell Ashley about it and lose the only thing keeping her feeling safe, or she could shut up and wait till they got out of the car to tell Ashley, knowing Ashley wouldn't let her go until they got out of the car if she didn't say anything. When the car jumped after hitting another bumps her mind was set, she'd tell Ashley once they got out of the car.

Miranda staid in the same position for the rest of the ride only moving slightly when she felt one side of her body become numb. Ashley never stopped rubbing her skin to make her a littler warmer, and some how when the car came to a stop Miranda realized Ashley had slipped a blanket over them, where the blonde got it from what a mystery to her. But once the car stopped she was rushing to get out of the car, she hated cars and she hated that one because it sucked when they hit a bump. Miranda fount that this time her hand was the one that just automatically slipped into Ashley's and pulled the blonde out of the car with her, instead of the other way around.

Once she was out of the car Miranda realized where they were and she was ready to start yelling at Ashley for doing this, for making her do all of this, or for trying to get her to do all of this.

Ashley knew Miranda was going to yell at her from the look on her face. "I'm sorry. Please don't be mad at me." She said. "I just thought you'd want to come here. You asked me to take you home."

Miranda was about to open her mouth and say something she'd really regret to the blonde when she heard another blonde address her. There was no way to run now...she was caught and finally home.

Miranda turned around slowly when she heard Maggie's voice brake through the air, she saw Maggie leaning over to pick up the newspaper and she frowned, that was her job!

"Well, well, well...looked what the cat dragged home." Maggie said as she looked at Miranda paper under her arm as she looked at the younger version of Bianca.

Miranda looked at Maggie and didn't know what to say to her. She then glanced at the driveway and didn't see Bianca's car then looked back at Maggie. "Is...is Bianca here?" She asked. She didn't know if she could face Bianca right now.

"No...She's at your grandmothers picking you up." Maggie said looking at Miranda with a raised eyebrow. "Well...I see she didn't get there before your knight in shinning armor." Maggie said no emotion in her voice.

Miranda flinched at the tone Maggie was taking on with her, she hated it because it wasn't the kind loving voice she knew from the blonde. Ashley looked up at Maggie and walked up to stand behind Miranda, she put her hand on the small of Miranda's back and slowly walked them toward Maggie, up the few stairs they needed to step up to get into the yard area of the house.

"I'm sorry." Miranda said as she looked at the ground once she and Ashley got to where Maggie was standing.

"Yeah I know." Maggie said as she sighed and smiled lightly as she wrapped Miranda in her arms, holding the teenager to her. Maggie kissed Miranda's temple before pulling back and moving back into the house the two teens following behind.

"Maggie, why do you want me?" Miranda asked as she looked at Maggie. "How can Bianca want me? After everything that happened, why do you guys want me here?"

Ashley was speechless; she didn't know why Miranda was asking Maggie that. Maggie turned around, confused as she locked eyes with Miranda. Maggie was happy to know she could still stare Miranda down, because the brunette was the first to look away from the piercing gaze.

"Miranda...why do your mother and I want you? Mermaid what does that mean?" Maggie asked confused.

"She only kept me to try and get the companies back, right?" Miranda asked. "For Erica and Kendall? I know she doesn't really love me. How can she love a child of r..." She didn't finish what she was saying.

Maggie couldn't stop the gasp that came; it wasn't supposed to happen like this. Miranda wasn't supposed to find out like this, not like this. Maggie's hand instinctively moved to cover her mouth for her body's foolish reaction.

Maggie saw Miranda take her gasp the wrong way and she watched as Miranda turned to try and leave, but Miranda wasn't fast enough. Maggie put herself between the door and Miranda and watched as Miranda tried to get away once again but Maggie grabbed hold of Miranda's hand and held the teen where she was.

"Your mother has loved you since before you were born!" Maggie said as she stared at Miranda's cheek, she sighed and moved her free hand to turn Miranda's face towards her. "Your mother and I love you, have loved you since the beginning of Bianca's pregnancy!"

"Then why is she drinking?" Miranda asked. "She's drinking because of me, isn't she?"

"No...She's not." Maggie said looking down at the floor. "She's not drinking because of you." Maggie said as she sighed. "She's been drinking because she's scared she won't be a good mother to you and this baby. It only has to do with you because she's afraid she'll some how...ruin your life and your sisters." Maggie said as she shook her head. "I don't know how she sees that but she does and...it scares her to know that she might mess up and it won't only affect her this time but us as well."

"She's not ruining my life." Miranda said in barely a whisper.

Maggie looked at Miranda and then at the door and back toward Miranda and gave a smile as she walked to Miranda's side and held her shoulder as she spoke into her ear. "Tell her that." Maggie whispered as she walked over to Ashley and ushered the other blonde into the den, leaving Miranda and Bianca alone for some mother daughter bonding time.

"Miranda..." Bianca said looking at her daughter.

Miranda looked at Bianca and then back-toward Maggie and Ashley and was ready to curse Ashley for leaving her in this situation. Sighing, Miranda turned around and looked at Bianca and then down at the floor. Her mouth closed, and her breathing coming out harsh through her nose as she ignored the sting in the back of her nose that came before the tears would, but ignoring it didn't make the tears stop or even halt for a second.

Miranda turned her head to the right and wrapped her arms around herself and avoided her mother's eyes, wishing that Bianca would just rush up to her and wrap her up in her arms. Tell her everything would be ok, that she did love her that even after everything she'd still be there and love her unconditionally.

"Miranda..." Bianca cried as she moved over to her daughter and wrapped her arms around her. "I'm sorry, baby. I'm sorry."

Miranda closed her eyes and turned around in Bianca's arms and placed her head on her mother's shoulder as tears fell. "No...I am. I'm so sorry! Please...forgive me... please." Miranda sobbed as she wrapped her arms around Bianca's waist and held her mother tighter.

"Baby, you did nothing wrong." Bianca cried. "You don't have to be sorry. I'm the one that needs to ask for forgiveness. I'm not a good mother and I'm sorry."

"No...You are." Miranda said as she wiped at her tears and pulled away to look up into Bianca's eyes. "You're a great mother, you are...I just...I was afraid...that if I played house longer it'd have to end...and I didn't want it to." Miranda said as she looked down. "I just wanted to know you loved me...that you weren't playing any games like I thought you were."

"Miranda, you thought I was playing games with you?" Bianca asked as she held Miranda. "Baby, I wasn't. I swear to God I wasn't."

"I thought you were. I'm sorry..." Miranda said looking down as she pulled Bianca closer to her. "I want a family...I want a mother again...I don't want to play house like we used to, before. I want it to be real. I need it to be real." Miranda whispered.

"Baby, you have a family." Bianca said. "You have me and Maggie. You also have a new baby sister coming soon. It is real, its all real and its not a game anymore. I promise you its not a game anymore."

"I just...why would you want me here causing trouble, when you and Maggie can just start over with this new baby?"

"Miranda, you are my baby. I know you're not a baby anymore but you are my daughter." Bianca said looking at her daughter. "We are not starting over anything. We're just adding on to our family. I want you here and I know for a fact that Maggie does too, we need you here. Maggie and I need you here. Maggie loves you just as much as I do."

Miranda looked down and tried to stop the tears from coming, she as ashamed of what she said to Maggie, she was truly sorry she had just been angry and lashed out at Maggie because she was the first to try and confront her on what was going on and she hadn't been ready to tell her anything.

"Mom...I said some really mean things to Maggie, I didn't mean them I swear!" Miranda said as she looked up into Bianca's eyes. "I really didn't mean them I was just angry and I took it out on her and I know I shouldn't have but I did. And I'm really sorry for what I did."

"It's ok baby." Bianca said. "I'm sure if you apologize for what you said to her she'll forgive you. I bet she already has."

Miranda nodded her head and pulled away from Bianca and let out a deep breath. She looked up at Bianca before looking at the farewell right behind Bianca, she needed to make it look like she was looking at Bianca when she asked this question.

"Why did you keep me?" Miranda asked quietly.

"Baby, I kept you because you are my baby and I love you." Bianca said looking right at Miranda. "I will admit I was scared at first. But then I realized there was nothing to be scared of. Maggie helped me and your aunt Kendall."

Miranda nodded and closed her eyes. She felt like crying and jumping up for joy at the same time. It bothered her to know about her father, but it felt great to know that her mother loved her anyway...that she did love her and she hadn't ever need to worry about that love. Miranda felt stupid but at the same time she felt smart, she had protected herself the only way she saw fit at the time, and now her heart was safe...just with someone she hadn't thought would keep it, but had after all.

"I love you mom." Miranda whispered as she looked up at Bianca, a few tears escaping her eyes as she looked up at her mother.

"I love you too baby." Bianca said as she pulled Miranda into another hug.

"Miranda there are other things..."

"Can we talk about them later? Please...I just...later? Right now its just...can't we just make it like always. Fun and laughter and smiles, just for now?" Miranda asked pleadingly.

Bianca nodded her head and pulled Miranda closer. Miranda held on to Bianca and swore to herself then and there that she wouldn't doubt love again, never again. She were she should be, with her real family. Miranda realized then and there she was lucky because in the end she had two families that loved her as their own...and she wasn't about to lose either family and she hoped that would be ok with Bianca because no matter how much she didn't like it, it was true. She had been raised as a Martin/Chandler, Carry/Hayward and now even though she knew she was a Montgomery she also knew that she was a part of each of those families as well.

Bianca held onto Miranda and looked up when she saw Maggie standing in the doorway and smiled at her.

Maggie leaned against the doorframe smiling as she looked at the two most important women in her life. Now that they were ok, Maggie knew everything in this household was going to be ok, after all Maggie was right when she told Bianca and Miranda she stood no chance. She was stuck with the two Montgomery women till the day she died, and thinking about that made her smile in anticipation of all that they were going to do with their lives together. Oh yes world...look out because here they came as one big happy family...oh yes and plus one. That plus one was going to be the little monster of the household...Maggie could picture it now...a little Frankie jr. running around while Miranda whined about how Frankie was annoying her and how he/she wouldn't stop talking or how she needed space. Oh yes, world look out or just run while you still have the chance.

Bianca motioned for Maggie to come over to them and smiled when Maggie did.

"Miranda, I think someone needs a hug." Bianca whispered in Miranda's ear as Maggie walked over.

Miranda turned around and saw Maggie walking towards them, she smiled and turned around so her arm was around Bianca's back and they were both facing Maggie. Miranda watched as Maggie came to an abrupt halt not coming any closer, not when they had those smiles on, no way! Maggie knew better, much, much better!

Bianca and Miranda looked at each other and winked before they pulled Maggie into the hug too. Maggie laughed as she was pulled into the hug and then she slowly tried to wiggle her way out of it, she was small she could do it if she tried hard enough.

"You're not going anywhere Stone." Bianca said chuckling.

"But...but...but..." Maggie pouted as she tried to wiggle away again, to no avail.

"Please stop talking about my mothers butt please...you are in my presence!" Miranda reminded Maggie jokingly as she nudged Maggie with her shoulder, lightly of course, didn't want to hurt the blonde and her unborn brother or sister.

Maggie smiled at the reminder, she had major payback to start working on, so instead of wiggling out of the hug she wiggled into it and right into Bianca's arms and smiled triumphantly as she planted a big one right on Bianca's lips while Miranda was only inches away.

"OH EWW...you guys do know I'm like here with you, don't you?" Miranda asked trying to get free of her mother's and Maggie's grasp.

Miranda finally got free and shivered and walked away from where her mother and Maggie were now openly making out. Miranda closed her eyes and groaned, she was happy that they were ok...but did they have to do this...again? Miranda was about to call Erica and tell her what they were doing when Ashley walked in and blushed when she saw what Maggie and Bianca were doing in the middle of the living room. Ashley was about to walk back into the other room, but Miranda rushed up to her and grabbed her arm and pulled the blonde into her body and smiled when Ashley moaned quietly when their bodies touched completely.

Two could play this game, Miranda thought as she smiled wickedly and saw Ashley's eyes widen when she realized what she was about to do. Ashley tried to pull away but stopped when she couldn't get out of Miranda's grip without their bodies rubbing against each other.

"Oh Maggie..." Miranda called and waited till she saw Maggie and Bianca both look towards them before she actually pulled Ashley to her and kissed her soundly, Ashley moaning softly at first contact before almost melting into Miranda's arms.

Maggie saw this and her jaw, she was positive, hit the floor. Miranda had guts because not even Maggie would have kissed anyone in front of her mother when she was a teenager. Yeah...Maggie gave Miranda props for what she was doing, but knew that Bianca wasn't exactly all too thrilled with this little game any longer.

"Ok enough making out is happening right now." Bianca said loud enough for Miranda to hear her. Miranda and Ashley didn't hear her though. They were too busy making out. "Ok Miranda, you can make out with your girlfriend but please don't do it in front of me or Maggie."

Miranda heard that one and smiled as she pulled away from Ashley and saw when she opened her eyes that Ashley still had her eyes closed. That made Miranda's smile grow, she almost forgot what she was about to use as her comeback to her mother's comment but then she remembered and said it.

"Well you two do it to me all the time...now you know how it feels." Miranda said before she grabbed Ashley's hand and ran them upstairs to her bedroom, ignoring her mother and Maggie's stares as they ran into a private location. Bianca had said not to make out in front of them so she was taking them somewhere private so they could continue.

Maggie looked at Bianca confused, when she saw the look directed at her. "What?" Maggie asked innocently, when she knew exactly what was wrong with Bianca.

"What?" Bianca asked. "There's still a lot to talk about with Miranda." Bianca said looking away for a second.

"I know there is. You and Miranda and I will find a way to deal with that. Just let her have this time, this moment where everything can seem to be back to normal. Then we'll all deal with what has to be dealt with, for now let her be a teenager. Let her live like a normal teenager girl, just for now. Cause right after we give her this moment we are so taking the rest away cause there is no way I can deal with a teenager while pregnant." Maggie laughed.

"Of course not honey...we wouldn't want that." Bianca said and felt Maggie wrap herr arm around her waist and walked them toward the front door, so they could sit in the front yard and talk, like they had planned to do before.
