Maggie had called Bianca earlier that morning to invite her and the girls for a lunch date. She thought that it would be nice to spend some quality time with Bianca, and the girls. She arrived at Krystals, and since it was seat your self, she went ahead and grabbed a table, because Bianca hadn't arrived yet. She sat down, and looked over the menu. "Mmmm..A Bacon Cheeseburger sounds nice.." she said to herself, as she then set the menu down, and noticed a waitor coming towards her. "What can I get you to drink, miss?" the waitor asked as he looked down to Maggie.
"Um just a glass of water, with a twist of lime, please.." she said, as the waitor then nodded, and walked off. She then leaned back into the booth, and waited for Bianca to arrive. She was nervous, yet she was very much excited.

Bianca had gotten the message just a bit too late since she had just dropped Miranda and Gabby off with Kendall and Spike and Ian for the day. Kendall had not seen the girls since they had come back to Pine Valley and her sister kindly offered to take them off her hands so that Bianca could go shopping. She knew that Kendall would not enjoy seeing Liza at the house so Bianca asked if she could wait in the car but after she was free she got Maggie's message and looked at Liza.
"Do you mind? I mean maybe this would be good for all of us."
Once she got a nod from Liza she drove to Krystal's and walked in and saw Maggie. "Hi.." Bianca smiled as she reached Maggie's table and she sat down. "I am sorry I got your message late because the girls are with Kendall today. I hope you are okay with Liza being here. We were going to go shopping but we decided we wanted to meet you for lunch."

Liza sat patiently in the car. She was excited to spend the day with Bianca because other than her first night back, they hadn't had any alone time. But once Bianca opened the door, she sensed something was off. "What's wrong?" she asked, before Bianca played the voice mail. Liza sighed to herself, disappointed that she wouldn't have the whole day with the brunette, but she nodded, thinking this might be good for everyone.
She walked in behind Bianca & watched the way they interacted. She took a seat next to the youngest Kane woman & said, "It's really good to see you again, Maggie." She smiled at the woman, hoping to break some of the tension, but she wondered if it helped, still feeling the chill in the room from their table.

Maggie looked up and saw Bianca, but was surprised to see Liza with her. Did Bianca did that she would be okay with her bringing Liza along, when she didn't even invite her in the first place, and plus Bianca knew how Maggie felt about Bianca and Liza seeing each other, so this felt like a slap in her face, but she decided to remain cordial, for Bianca's sake. She stood up and hugged Bianca, and then extended her hand to Liza's, and shook it. She then looked back to Bianca. "It is good to see you Bianca..and no I don't mind, you bringing Liza along. A friend of yours is a friend of mine.." she said as she then glanced over to Liza.
"Well, thank you Liza. It is....good to see you again, as well" she said as she then looked to the two ladies and leaned back, as she took a sip of her water.

"It is good to see you too Maggie. I am really glad that you invited me to lunch. I really think it would be nice if we all had a little while together because it seems like there is a lot for us to all sort out."
Bianca saw the waitress and asked her for a water and also let Liza give her drink order. "I just want everything to seem normal between us all especially for the girls because I cannot see them get hurt. I know how much Miranda has missed you Maggie and I am so glad that you will be around to get to see her grow up. And Liza you have gotten so close with them too. I just want to let you both know that no matter what happens I want the girls to know how much we all love them because we do."

"Well, I agree Bianca. I don't want to see the girls get hurt either.." she said as she quickly shot a glance to Liza, and then looked over to Bianca. "I am willing to make this thing work, whatever this thing is anyways.." she said as she then crossed her arms, and let out a sigh. "But, I think we all need to shoot straight with each other, don't you think? I mean we need to be honest about our feelings, because if we don't then this situation is not going to work" Maggie said as she then looked back over to Liza.
"To be honest Liza..I don't like you, and not because you are seeing Bianca, but its a whole bunch of things that I don't like about you..." she said as she then set her hands on the table. "I think you are a user, and a lier...and nothing is going to change my mind about you. We both know your past crimes, well because they aren't secret, and never have been. Everyone knows what you are about Liza. You will get anyone to love you, no matter the cost of anyone else.."

Liza nodded. "I don't want to do anything to hurt them... you know that, Bianca," she said, looking at the brunette. "I won't let my feelings get in the way of the love I have for your little girls," she promised with a nod.
She then turned back to Maggie who was calling her out about her past. The old Liza would have gotten angry & retaliated in a way that would have given Maggie the ammunition she wanted, but she just nodded. "You're absolutely right. You seem to know all about my past, Maggie, & if that's how you still see me, I can't blame you, because you haven't been around me to know that I have changed," she explained, taking a breath.
She then smiled toward Bianca. "But I have been around Bianca & her family, & they have all seen me at my worst, & now, they've finally seen me at my best. I can't change my past, but I chose to change my future, & I did," she explained. "But that doesn't change your past, either, Maggie. I know what happened between you & Bianca, & I'm not going to air that dirty laundry, since we all know what went on, but I just want you to know that I know I'm not perfect, but we know that you aren't either," she said calmly before placing her hands gently on her lap.

"Well, atleast we agree on one thing, Liza. I know I am not perfect, Liza. I have made mistakes, actually, I have made some whopper mistakes regarding me and Bianca, but my whole purpose of me returning back here to Pine Valley, was for me and Bianca to begin working things out, but..I can see that you two are more involved than I originally thought, and sense Bianca brought you along, knowing how I felt about you, well I guess she has made her decision and I know where she stands with me.." she said as she stood up, and looked to them both. "Just so you know Bianca..I came here to work things out with you. I sacraficed my life in Paris to try and make things work for us..but apparently you have fallen very deeply for her..because the Bianca I knew, would never have brought another woman to a lunch, when that other woman was not invited, and you knew how I felt about her.." she said as she tossed the white napkin towel on the table.
She then looked to Liza. "Just remember, you are one lucky lady to have her, and don't screw up like I did, because if you do, you will wind up like me..all alone" she said as she then looked to Bianca.

"Guys.." Bianca wanted to stop what the women were saying to one another before it was too late but then it was too late once they had both said what they wanted to say.
"Maggie! Please stay." Bianca stood up and grabbed her hand and sitting back down and wanting her to do the same. "You know exactly where Liza and I stand. I have been honest with you from the beginning and you knew that I was with her. Yes I brought her to lunch today because we had plans before I got your message. I could have rescheduled but we have not seen each other since we got to Pine Valley and I thought that maybe if we all had lunch together we could talk."
"It seems like you both said what you needed to say to each other and even though I hoped that we would not get into that right now I am sort of happy knowing that it is out in the open. Liza and I are together right now but you knew that before you came back here. So please to not blame me for you coming back to Pine Valley. You wanted to do this and I hope that you still want to be here."
"I cannot tell you what the future is going to be like but I can tell you that right now both me and Liza are glad you are here because it has made Miranda so happy and that makes us happy. And that means that you are not alone. Right now I am offering to be your friend just like I was in Paris and I hope that you want to take that offer because I never meant to hurt you and I can see that I have."

After listening to Bianca, she decided to sit down, and stay. She still didn't like the situation that she was in, but she only decided to stay for Bianca's sake. "Well, I am glad that I atleast made Miranda happy, but Miranda is like a daughter to me. The only reason why I am staying in Pine Valley now is because of her.." she said as she crossed her arms and looked to the two women. "I will have to accept the fact that you two are together, and if your in love with each other, then that is all that matters." she said as she looked down. "I will just have to learn to deal with it, but I will be honest about it. I don't like, so please do not be rubbing ya'lls relationship in my face.." she said as she then looked to Liza on that comment.
"But, lets make one other thing clear. I love Miranda, and she loves me. I want to see her as much as possible, because I was once like a mother to her, when you and I were together, Bianca.." she said as she looked back to Bianca, and uncrossed her arms.

Liza sighed. "Hopefully you're staying for yourself, too, Maggie," she noted softly, but then added quietly, "Our relationship isn't exactly public, Maggie... you're the only person that knows about us, so we won't be flaunting our relationship around," she promised, looking back at Bianca who gave her a slight nod.
She knew that it was her fault that they weren't "out" yet, but she was just not sure she was ready. She sighed to herself as Bianca & Maggie spoke about Miranda, & she wondered if she ever really would be ready? Would Bianca help ease her into the lifestyle that she lived, with everyone knowing who she was attracted to? Would she help her with the comments & remarks that would hurt her, even if she stayed strong? Liza knew Bianca was giving her the time she needed, but when would that time run out? When would Liza have to make that choice?

"Yes, I know that noone else knows about you Liza, and I respect that you don't want anyone else to know, but let me ask you something. Is it fair to ask Bianca to keep this secret from her family? Her family already accepts her for who she is, but Bianca had to fight like hell to get that from her mother, and now you are asking her to keep this relationship that you both have, a secret from everyone." she said as she looked over to Liza. "It isn't fair..not to her, and quite frankly, neither to you Liza." she said as she then looked over to Bianca. "I don't want to step over the line, but you two need to consider your options here, because it is not just your life, there are other people who are involved as well, espicially the children." she said as she leaned back into her chair.
"But, then again..I have no say in this, so do whatever you two want to do..Keep this secret, or don't. I don't care.." she said as she took another sip of the water, as the waiter came and asked if they were ready. "Yes, I want the turkey club, with light mayo, and a side of french fries, please.."

"Maggie I know you are just concerned but I want to give Liza this time to figure out what she really wants. If she wants to be open about our relationship that is great but for right now it actually works out in my favor, too that we are keeping this a secret." Bianca pulled her hair back and looked at Maggie and Liza. "I need some time to think about what I really want as well and I think if we go public with this right now neither of us will have that space and time that we need to figure this out."
"Oh I think I will have the chicken caesar salad. It looks great!"

Liza shook her head. "Maggie's right, though... maybe we should re-think this or maybe come up with a plan," she suggested before the waitress interrupted any further train of thought.
She glanced down at the menu again before saying, "I'll have the broccoli & cheddar soup & a side of onion rings, please," she added before the woman nodded & then walked away. She looked back up as Bianca defended their secret. "It is nice just having the time to figure everything out, though, you're right. I like not having the pressure, but if we maybe know what we want to do & when we want to do it... maybe it would just give us both a bit more stability," she shrugged slightly, thinking maybe Maggie was absolutely right. This wasn't fair to Bianca, & this wasn't fair to her.

"I just think lying to your family Bianca, and the people that have graciously given you a roof over your head Liza is not right.." she said as she looked over to Liza with what she was fixing to say. "Let me ask this. How do you think Erica is going to feel, if she finds out about you two before you get the chance to tell her? She is going to feel betrayed, and Bianca.." she began to say as she looked over to her. "You know that better than anyone. I am not trying to sway you two into anything, but I am looking at the big picture here..are you?" she asked as she stood up. "Excuse me, I have to run to the ladies room. I'll be back" she said as she left the table and left the two ladies alone, which is what she was trying to do in the first place. She was trying to put doubt in Liza's mind, and she was hoping that it was working.
She had never done this before, but she was trying to win Bianca back, that she would do anything, to get her back.
