Chapter Text
I
Bianca looked up with a soft smile as the scent of Maggie entered the nursery. She saw that Maggie had slipped on her long pale yellow silk spaghetti strap nightgown that they had picked out together at the 'Victoria Secret' store. She recognized the scent as the perfume that Maggie wore when they first met in S.O.S. She knew Maggie had done this just for her; to let her know that she (Maggie); knew what Bianca loved best to smell and to see on her.
Maggie walked slowly into the nursery loving the look in Bianca's eyes as she saw that the night grown was split up the legs to the top of the knees. She had just shaved her legs and rubbed the 'Caress' Shimmering body lotion on them to give her legs the shiny smooth look. She felt once again the slight touch of Bianca's finger tips on her legs for the very first time.
(Bianca's laugh from when she and Maggie first met fills the room.)
Maggie closed her eyes briefly as she allowed herself again to enjoy the touches and the memory of Bianca's smiling face as she knew how much she was tickling Maggie's leg and how turned on Maggie was coming. She could feel Bianca's love surround her in that room. Love that she never thought she would ever have in her life. Love she only dreamed hazy dreams about. Love that scared her to death. Love that made her not able to breath. Love that felt like it was chocking her to death. Love that ...
Maggie opened her eyes wide in fear. She stopped walking towards Bianca. She placed her hands to her thoart and opened it to reveal how deeply she was trying to breath. She started to walk backwards to escape the room; the overpower sense of the room would kill her if she didn't escape from it.
"Maggie wait." Bianca softly cried out. She felt Miranda move a little closer to her mother. She knew that she couldn't help Maggie until she got Miranda into her crib. She knew that Maggie was terrified. For once in all the time that they had known each other Bianca finally understood why Love terrified Maggie. Not just love; soul mate love. Everlasting Love. True Love. Bianca just now had to make Maggie finally understand it for herself. Than and only than can Maggie finally be truthful and say how she truly feels for Bianca. Than and only than can Bianca and Maggie truly be as one. Than and only than can Maggie be a full person.
Bianca whispered her good night prays for Miranda in her daughter's ears and promised that she would be back soon. That she had to make sure that Miranda's other mommy is ok that by this time next year hopefully Miranda will be able to call Maggie mommy also. She quietly left the room making sure the door was less than half way closed. She looked down and saw with relief that the door stopper was in place. She walked towards Maggie's bedroom where she could hear Maggie's deep chested heaves.
Maggie tried to control the heaves. Too well the tears not to come. Not tonight, not on the night that she wanted Bianca to be her ... everything. That she wanted to be Bianca's everything. Not the night that she wanted Bianca to make love to her. For her to give Bianca what she had been craving for her entire life. Love, ever lasting love, soul mate love, true love. But try as she might she couldn't control the heaves. She couldn't control the sobs that finally burst through her chest up to her thaort and rang throughout the room. She pulled herself into a tight ball on the bed and cried into the silk sheets that she had placed on her bed before going to the nursery to see Bianca and Miranda.
Bianca opened the door and quickly entered the room. She saw how lovely Maggie had made her bedroom for this night. She had placed white candles in several key spots in the room. Tall candles in between small candles. All lit to allow a soft light lighten the bedroom. She saw the rose petals underneath Maggie's curled up body. She saw the red rose on the pillow that she knew was meant for her head. She sank onto the bed and gently covered Maggie's shaking body with her own. She held her best friend, soul mate, other piece against her chest. She hummed a sweet song that she sang to Miranda to get her to calm down. She began to stroke Maggie's hair from the right side of Maggie's face as she sang the words to the song. Her voice filled the room.
Maggie slowly stopped crying. She couldn't stop shaking through. But it was more of a desire shake than a terrified shake. Her desire for Bianca Montgomery grew beyond reason. Beyond anything she had ever known in her life. She just knew she had to process this woman next to her; to have this woman process; to own her body and soul. To lose herself in this woman. This being. This wonderful being to all that was right and pure in this world.
Bianca felt Maggie's love fill the room. Love that she had never felt before in her life. Love that she dreamt about since she was a baby in her mother's arms. Love that she so yeaned for and had finally found. Love that she would never destroy. Love that she had to lose touch with yet as another perfect moment goes away. Love that could weaken her and take what she so desperately wanted to. Love that had to make her strong enough to protect her everlasting love.
Maggie suddenly lifted her head and met Bianca's lips which just opened to say that they had to stop. She brought her tongue quickly out to meet Bianca's quivering tongue. She quickly moved her arms up to cup Bianca's face so she could pull Bianca more closer to her. She felt Bianca's arms move from her shoulders as she felt Maggie move her body so that she could lay length wise on her back. She groaned her pleasure as Bianca had to lay on top of her as her hands finally found only open air where Maggie's shoulder had been just moments ago.
Bianca smelt the roses scent as her nose came closer to the sheets as she felt her body cover Maggie's. She felt her desire rise to new heights. Heights that she had never experienced with anyone else in her life. Heights she never dreamed existed until that single moment.
Maggie moved her hands down so that she could began to remove Bianca's light weight jacket from her right shoulder where she met bare skin underneath Bianca's sleeveless blouse she had worn that day. She broke the kiss and moved her head to began to kiss Bianca's bare shoulder. She loved the shiver that she felt run down Bianca's shoulder. She knew she brought it on. She quickly tugged Bianca's jacket off of Bianca. She didn't want to feel the material against Bianca's skin. She didn't want to feel any material against Bianca's skin. She just wanted to feel her skin against Bianca's skin.
Bianca closed her eyes as she moved her mouth down to suck on Maggie's nap of the neck on the right side. She loved the feeling of Maggie's hands on her bare skin. She wanted to fell Maggie's hands all over her body. No material along for the ride; just Maggie's hands and the rest of Maggie's hot steamy smooth body against her skin.
Maggie moved her hands to the front of Bianca's blouse and quickly started to unbutton the buttons. She licked Bianca's shoulder and moved her head to make Bianca's head move also. She quickly covered Bianca's mouth with her own again as she quickly undid the last button on the blouse; she was able to take it out of Bianca's skirt's waist line and off of Bianca's back and shoulders in one quick move. She quickly undid the back of Bianca's bra and removed it from Bianca.
Bianca quickly broke the kiss and got off of Maggie and sat up covering her breasts with her hands. She stared wide eyed down at Maggie terror in her eyes.
Maggie sat up quickly. "Bianca I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do it." She knew that she had reawaken what Michael Cambias had done to Bianca. She cursed herself for hurting Bianca; and allowing her own desires to overcome the rational part of her mind.
Bianca got off of the bed quickly and rushed from the room. She felt the over whelming of sheer fear enter the room. She wanted to fight against it and prove to Maggie that she was ready; she was really. But the terror over came her. She had to escape the terror she had to protect Miranda from the terror.
With tears falling fast down her checks Maggie got off of the bed and bent and picked up Bianca's bra, blouse and jacket. She walked around blowing out the candles before leaving the room. She walked towards Bianca's room to leave the articles of clothing outside Bianca's door. She saw that the door was opened. She stepped inside the room and felt Bianca's fear overcome her. Fear which she knew she had brought to Bianca. Fear that she never wanted to give to Bianca again. She knew what she had to do and she had to do it that night. She gently laid Bianca's clothes onto her bed and left the room.
Bianca with Miranda in her arms walked to Maggie's open door. "Maggie we need to talk." She said softly walking into the room. She was surprised at not finding Maggie in the room. She felt a lost that she knew she created. She knew Maggie wouldn't be anywhere else in the townhouse. That Maggie was gone from her life. Tears fell from her eyes as she backed out of the room with Miranda's crying echoing her own tears.
II
Jamie hit the talk button just as he put the phone to his ear. "Jamie Martin's phone. He's not in right now; if you want to leave your name and the place you will be staying at; Jamie will be right over. Babe." He began to get a somewhat mock horror look on his face. "Babe?"
"Jamie ..." A tear ful voice came across the line. It's not Babe. Who is this ... why so much static. I know this voice. Who is this? ... wait! "Bianca." Jamie said relived to hear from Bianca. He hadn't been able to say good bye to her when she and Miranda left for Paris; he knew he was on her dark list. "What's wrong Bianca? Are you hurt? Miranda? Maggie?." At Maggie's name Jamie gripped the phone and knew this call was about Maggie. He prepared himself for the worst.
"Maggie left. Jamie I'm not talking about left the townhouse; I mean Maggie left Paris. I don't know where she is. I can't call her and ask her too come back home. She left her cell phone here." Bianca chocking said as she gripped the phone to her ear.
Jamie blinked his eyes a few times to get the fact that Bianca didn't say that Maggie was dead; it took him a few minutes not to laugh out loud at the romantic troubles of his two best friends. 'She left her cell phone here. ' came trough his brains and he realized how serious Maggie's leaving as she did was to BOTH of them. They BOTH knew that Maggie was on a race to outrun her emotions and her feelings. "Perhaps she needed to get away for a few days." He said hopeful that was indeed the case.
"Maggie would have left a note letting me know." Bianca said into the phone. "It's been two days; and I have been hoping and praying that Maggie did just had to get away for a few days. I was hoping that she would be walking right through the door with a smile on her face. Or to call to let me know when to expect her. I set the time for six p.m. Pine Valley time before I called you for help, Jamie."
"What would you like me to do? Even if I have a chance to speak to Maggie; which is highly doubtful seeing on how we left things. I could never get trough to Maggie; not as you can." Jamie sat down in the chair as he stared at the clock on the desk; 6:o1 p.m.
"Come to Pairs. Bring Reggie with you. I need you two here with Miranda and I as we search for Maggie." Bianca said softly. "Don't tell anyone why you are coming to Paris; tell them that I asked you two to reacquaint yourselves with Miranda. Please if after a few weeks and we still can't find Maggie; than we can tell the others. I just want to try to find Maggie with just the few people who are the closest to her."
"What about David? He's her cousin after all. Her father figure." Jamie questioned.
"I can't be in the same room with Haywood right now. I don't know if I ever will get over the fact that he sold me down the river just because he found out Babe was his daughter." Bianca said forcefully. "He crucified me for the sake of a daughter whom neither one of us knew."
"Understood. What about my dad? I know that he and Maggie had struck up a great friendship when she and I first hooked up. After all he knew why we ended up in jail that one cold winter's day; he didn't shame her or embarrass her. He respected her as my lover and best friend." Jamie said. "Aidan also. I know Aidan is her cousin by marriage and seeing how Anna & David aren't married any longer that makes them ex - cousins by marriage. Aidan loves and cares about Maggie. Always has and always will. They are more like big brother & little sister."
"Before getting Reggie; go to your dad and Aidan's office. Tell them that we need their help to track Maggie down and bring her home. Tell them that they are hired to stay in Pine Valley and try to get a track on Maggie via computer. When they do to call us and tell us via phone her locution." Bianca said into the phone. "Tell them that unless I and only I give them the orders to leave Pine Valley; they are to stay."
Jamie heard the powerful and authority in Bianca's voice. She's one sharp business lady. If she wants something to be done it'll be done. If she wants people to stay put; they stay put. She's like the Chandlers; but with a heart. She would do what she had to do for the good of people. "You can account on me Bianca."
"And Jamie; don't tell Babe. Babe is one person that Maggie will never trust again. I don't I know if I don't agree with Maggie's way of thinking on this score." Bianca said into the phone.
"Understood." Jamie into the phone as Babe stood in the open door way. "Look Bianca; expect Reggie and I at the Paris airport early a.m. to mower."
"Thank you Jamie. I better go; I don't want to tie up the line." Bianca said into the phone before hanging up the phone.
"So you are going to Paris hmm. I hope I don't lose you to any of those French girls. I hear they can be really hard to turn away from." Babe said with a smile; fake smile. She knew it was a fake and she knew HE knew that it was fake. But just Bianca's name always brought such saddens to her. Sadness that she alone created by keeping Miranda from Bianca for ten months. Eight of them she knew that Elizabeth Miranda Chandler wasn't "Bess" that she was truly Miranda Mono Montgomery; Bianca's daughter; the daughter that she thought she had lost forever.
"Bianca wants Reggie and I too get reacquainted with Miranda." Jamie said with an all too bright smile. "So she told us to get our butts to Paris for an undetermined time to mower."
"So soon?" Babe raised her brows. "And you have no idea when you expect to come back home?"
Jamie shrugged his shoulders. "Sorry Babe; that's the way Bianca wants it. I always say what Bianca wants Bianca gets." He stood to his feet. He walked into the living room of Tad's home. "After the hell we put her through with Miranda; I am not going to say no to her request. No matter how inconvenient they come. Ever. I owe a life time of loyalty."
"Something is the matter. Bianca in trouble? Miranda? Maggie?" Babe stared wide eyed over at Jamie. "I know you can't say anything. But remember that those three are in my prayers." She said reading the truth in Jamie's eyes.
"Thanks Babe." Jamie said relieved that Babe understood why he couldn't talk about why Bianca wanted him in Paris. He put on a real smile on his lips. "How about why I'm away you can start to plan our wedding."
"Of course. James ... Little Adam." Babe shook her head as she thought of the son she had lost to JR. "will help me come up with grand ideas."
Jamie walked over and placed his arms around Babe's back and pulled her into a tight bear hug. He held her briefly until Bianca's words entered his mind once again. He pulled away. "It wouldn't be forever Babe. By the time I get back to Pine Valley I will have come up with a way for the judge to grant you and JR joint custody of Little Adam."
"Don't' worry about Little Adam and I; we will be fine on our own. Concern yourself with Bianca, Maggie and Miranda. You give yourself 110 on those three and protect them with everything you have." Babe said staring deep into Jamie's eyes.
Jamie knew that Babe spoke the truth. He had to concert fully on finding Maggie. He knew that Babe understood this and loved him even more because of it. "I'll be home soon I promise." He bent and kissed her quickly on the right check before heading upstairs to pack quickly.
Babe sat down in the chair that Jamie had vacated at the desk. She waited for Jamie to come back downstairs. She knew that life with Jamie Martin wouldn't be as easy or peaceful as she dreamt. She knew that he would run off at Bianca Montgomery's beak and call in a moment notice. She knew that She had caused this way of life for Jamie. Babe just wished that she could also be at Bianca's beak and call; but she knew deep down that Bianca would never want her withing calling distance of her and her family.
Jamie came down the stairs with his over night bag and his back pack on his back. He grinned. "Well I'm off now."
Babe stood to her feet and moved into his arms. "I love you Jamie."
"I love you too Babe." Jamie quickly hugged her and kissed her on the forehead before pulling out of the hug. "Till we see each other again." With that he picked up his over night bag and left the house.
Babe heard the door close on her and Jamie's further. She sat back down in the chair and bowed her head and allowed the tears to finally come.
III
Jamie opened the door to Tad and Aidan's offices. "Good you both are here. This is going to be quick."
"Come in son." Tad said turning around to face his son. He saw the look on Jamie's face.
"Bianca has now officially hired you. She orders you to stay in Pine Valley. Matter of fact Bianca is now officially your only client." Jamie said briefly and to the point. "You are to track Maggie Stone."
Aidan sat back in his chair and listened to what young Martin had to say more seriously.
"Go on son." Tad said softly.
"Maggie left Bianca. I'm not talking about left for a few days. I'm talking about left." Jamie said. "Look I don't have much time to get into everything." He shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know everything. All I know at this point of time is that Maggie had left the townhouse; left Pairs. She left without leaving a note and she left her cell phone behind. She only took a back pack her purse with her credit cards. That's where you two come along. You are to track Maggie's credit spending and tell us which way she is going."
"Who is us?" Aidan broke in quickly.
"Reggie, Bianca, and I." Jamie said. "Bianca doesn't want anyone else to know that Maggie is MIA. She wants us five to find Maggie and bring her home. If and only if we have no luck in the next few weeks than Bianca will be ready to tell Erica, Kendall, Jackson and everyone else that Maggie is close too."
"David?" Tad snorted.
"Bianca doesn't want to deal with David, ever. But if she has too she will." Jamie said. "Look I have to get Reggie and we have to board the plane. We must be in the Pairs airport early a.m. to mower. I promised Bianca."
"Of course." Tad nodded his head.
"So until we talk again." Jamie waved his right hand and left the office quickly.
Tad and Aidan look at each other.
"That was my son by the way." Tad half smiled.
"Like father like son." Aidan smiled he opened his lap top computer. "Look I'll have the guys follow up on Zack Slater, and Jonathan Levray. If one of us needs to step in we will; I'm sure Bianca will understand."
"Good plan." Tad said walking over to his desk and opened his own lap top computer. He quickly typed in Maggie's credit card number and started to get to the work at hand.

"What the hell do you want Martin." Reggie glared into Jamie's eyes.
"Get your gear together man. Bianca wants us in Pairs in the early a.m." Jamie pushed past Reggie into the loft and saw Jackson with his head in his hands. "Jack ol' man I'm taking Reggie out of the country for a while. I don't know when he'll be home but don't worry he'll be with Bianca, Maggie, Miranda and I."
Jackson looked red eyed up into Jamie's eyes and read that it was important for Reggie to leave so suddenly without any known time of coming home. "Say hello to everyone in Paris for me."
"Well do." Jamie turned and saw Reggie still at the open door way. "Get your gear together. We don't have much time to met that plane."
Reggie read the no nonsense in Jamie's eyes. "I'll get my stuff." He pointed his forefinger at Jamie. "Just for Bianca, Maggie and Miranda's shake I'm going on this sprue of a moment trip with you, Martin." He left the room quickly.
Jamie turned back to Jackson. "How's Lily?"
"Not good." Jackson sighed and looked towards the bedroom where Lily was. "She knows who killed Edmund and set fire to the barn at 'Whirlwind'.
Jamie nodded. "I know."
"Problem is with Lily; you can't shake the memories out of her. You have to tend very carefully and bring Lily around very slowly. Otherwise you lose her forever in the world of numbers." Jackson said standing to his feet.
"Any luck getting anything further?" Jamie asked.
Jackson shook his head. "No. But she did say 'wet red man with short black hair'."
"Let's get going." Reggie said walking into the room with his over night bag and his army bag.
"Let me know if anything new comes up." Jamie said.
"Of course." Jack said with a tight nod. "Thanks for your concern Jamie."
"Edmund was my step father for a moment there." Jamie said. "Besides my dad; I have considered Edmund as my second father since I was four years old."
"I know." Jack sighed deeply.
"I wish I could be around for Sam and Maddie; but with this thing with Bianca." Jamie frowned gently; just beginning to realize what an inconvenice on his life he just put himself in when he swore that he would answer Bianca's beak and call without any questions to the other areas of his life. But he knew that he was going to do the right thing by Bianca Montgomery and Miranda Montgomery for the rest of his life.
"I understand." Jackson nodded. He knew deeply that Bianca was in some kind of trouble. But he didn't feel that he should be involved quite yet; sides Bianca hadn't called him for help. So he knew that whatever this was it wasn't life or death.
"Tell Lily that I'll be home as soon as I can J." Reggie said as he and Jamie were walking out of the loft. "Also tell Lily that I'll bring home a surprise from Paris for her also all the snapshots that she can handle of Bianca, Miranda and Maggie."
"You know I will." Jackson hugged Reggie tightly to him. "Keep everyone safe." He said letting his adopted son go. "You two don't cause the girls any trouble; otherwise I'm sure they will regret inviting you to visit."
"I promise J." Reggie said roughly. "As long as this stank doesn't up and run off again like he did with Babe."
Jamie sighed deeply. "Look Reggie; we can discuss this fully on the plane. We do have a fourteen hour trip on our hands."
Reggie nodded tightly. "Look J, don't worry about us. We wouldn't make the girls regret having us visit them. I promise to be on my best behavior."
"As do I sir." Jamie held up his right hand and grinned. He knew that he and Reggie would get their friendship back on track with this trip. "Well we better get going otherwise that plane will take off without us."
"Later." Reggie with a final wave at Jackson the two young men left the hallway.
"Be safe." Jackson called after them and went back into the loft and shut the door behind him.

"Mr. Martin, Mr. Montgomery if you two will just follow me. I'll have you aboard the Cambias Jet and in the air in a matter of minutes," The tall shaded African man said stiffly as he walked quickly towards the boarding hall way to the Cambias jet.
"Ummm thanks ... " Reggie said as he walked a little distance from the man.
"Jeeves. Mr. Jeeves. I'm the personal attendant to Miss. Miranda. Her mother and hmm her mother's ' friend. ' " Jeeves said.
"Maggie. Her friend's name is Maggie." Jamie said stiffly as he followed the slightly older man aboard the jet. "As you very well know who Maggie is; IF you are truly the personal attendant to Miranda and Bianca."
Jeeves quickly hid a smile as he heard the protective male tone in young Martin's voice. He had of course heard the entire history of Maggie and Jamie. How they were friends; than lovers; than friends again. That they never lost their friendship during their lovers twangs to them finally ending the lovers side of their lives. How up until Jamie ran off with Babe and her and JR's son; they never lost bases with each other. But once Maggie found out that Jamie did in fact know the truth of who "Bess" really was that "Bess" was really Bianca's own baby girl; Miranda. And Jamie never told the truth to Bianca. That he allowed by his silence and his mis placed loyally to Babe Haywood Carey Chandler had cost Bianca months of needless heartache over the "death" of her daughter. That was it as far as Maggie was concerned. How could she forgive one of her closets friends in the world for hurting Bianca; her best friend; her soul mate.
He also knew from Bianca's own mouth; that she didn't feel the same way about Jamie as Maggie did. She didn't blame Jamie or his father Tad Martin for keeping the truth about Miranda from her. That she always understood that they were concerned for both Miranda and Babe's son by JR were safe. That she wanted Jamie too be the Tad in Miranda's life as Tad had been in hers. But she did agree with Maggie on the point that he shouldn't tie himself to Babe. To destroy his life in need of saving her from herself. That for Jamie's own good he had to get away from Babe as soon as possible. As far as he can get. For as longs as it takes. So they decided to order Jamie to come to Paris and live with them until they were ready to come home to Pine Valley. They both well knew that Jamie would have come no questions asked. They had planned on putting this plan into action when all a sudden Maggie disappeared.
Jeeves frowned on this note. He very well knew who Bianca and Maggie were to each other just as he knew who all the major power busters were on first sight. They were no different than any other couple who stepped off a plane in Paris France with a ten month old baby. Matter of fact he had fallen entity in love with both Bianca Montgomery and Maggie Stone the instant his eyes saw them. He just adored Miranda Montgomery. He had heard how Michael had raped Bianca; which produced the youngest heir to the Cambias Estate. Jeeves was just waiting for Miranda's birth to come to Pine Valley and offer himself up as Miranda's personal attendant when the news of Miranda's "death" hit the air waves. He wept for the child that was to be the true savior to the Cambias name. He was overjoyed when the news of Miranda's recovery hit the air waves. He had ordered the Paris Cambias Board Members to wire Ethan and Bianca that ONE of them had to be in Paris to head the European Cambias Board. Jeeves very well knew that Ethan wasn't going anywhere; he still had the matter of a trial coming up. But he knew Bianca and Miranda could come and would come.
Jeeves's eyes lit up as the memory of laying his eyes on Bianca, Miranda and Maggie for the first time. He had fallen head over heels in love with all three of them. He very well knew that Bianca and Maggie were soul mates so neither one of them were for him; but that didn't matter much too him. He would never leave the women's side. Even once they decide it's time to move back to Pine Valley; Jeeves was going along with them.
Jamie didn't miss the way Jeeves's eyes lit up when he said what he said about Maggie. He knew than that Jeeves was a major fan of Maggie and that he didn't mean no harm in what he had just implied. He calmed his nerves down as he took his seat on the sofa that Maggie had sat in next Miranda's carrier as the plane took off for the friendly skies. Jeeves took the seat the Bianca had been sitting in; next to the door that led the way off of the plane. Reggie had sat in the chair that was closets to the cockpit.
The jet took off once the pilot told everyone to buckle in and did the typical flight information.
"So how much do you know about us going to Paris, Jeeves?" Reggie asked as the jet finally found the proper levage for the flight.
"Everything." Jeeves briefly replied. "Bianca sent me to fly with you so I could fill you in with everything you need to know BEFORE entering the townhouse."
"Let's get started than." Jamie said leaning forward so his elbows could rest on his thighs.
Jeeves sat back and got comfortable for his long telling of what Bianca wanted the young men to know. "First off I will accept no interruptions until I'm through."
Jamie and Reggie nodded sagely.
"First you know how Bianca and Maggie feel towards each other." Jeeves began.
Reggie smiled as he nodded.
Jamie frowned as he nodded because he knew without a doubt why Maggie Stone was AWOL.
Jeeves didn't miss Jamie's looks. He knew than that Jamie truly did care for Maggie. But he had yet to determined on how Jamie Martin cared for Maggie Stone. Did he care for her as a friend or something more. Is young Martin a threat towards Bianca? If so than Jeeves would have to take care of young Martin; which he wouldn't want to do; he all already liked Jamie Martin.
"Second thing you need to know is that there are powers within powers that want Miranda OUT of Cambias estate." Jeeves held up a firm hand as Reggie was about to speak. "I said no interruptions. As I was saying there are those who what Miranda OUT of Cambias. It is not Alexander Cambias Jr. or Ethan Ramsey Cambias. Matter of fact they have no idea of this development. Bianca wants to keep it that way. Matter of fact NO one in Pine Valley are aware of this development. "
"I"m sorry to interrupt you Jeeves; but are you telling me that Miranda's in danger?" Jamie's eyes were all ready wide with this piece of information. "Tell me who the hell is the threat to Miranda; and I will deal with them."
"Slow down Jamie." Jeeves said holding up a hand. "That's another reason why you are here. After we find Maggie; you are to stay behind in Paris when Reggie goes back home. Matter of fact you are not going to go home until Bianca and Maggie are ready to return to Pine Valley."
Jamie nodded his head. "I understand." He knew than that he wouldn't be marrying Babe any time soon. But that was the price he was willing to pay for Bianca Montgomery. He owned her his life.
"Kendall had told Bianca everything that JR, Adam, Erica and Palmer had been doing to you, Tad, David and Babe. Krystal is getting her just deserts by spending ten years behind bars; too bad Babe and David didn't decide to do that themselves." Jeeves said.
"What about me? I helped Babe kidnap James." Jamie interrupted once again.
"Little Adam." Jeeves said steely.
Jamie sighed deeply. "Little Adam."
I thought we weren't allowed to interrupt? Reggie looked from the older man to the younger man.
"Bianca knows that you and Tad had always put Little Adam's best interest at heart. Meaning you both knew that JR shouldn't be raising that little boy." Jeeves said.
"You can say that again." Reggie snorted.
Jeeves shot Reggie a hard look.
Ok so it's just me that can't interrupt. Reggie held up his hands and sat back into the couch.
"Babe deserves her son." Jamie said.
"She may deserve her son; but she lost her rights when she did what she did to Bianca." Jeeves said.
"I'm not arguing what Babe did to Bianca was right; I know that it wasn't; Babe knows it wasn't. No one is denying Bianca's and the world's righteous anger towards Babe for her decision to keep Bianca from knowing that Miranda was alive; for six months." Jamie said.
Reggie rolled his eyes and snorted.
"Mr. Montgomery; if you can't keep from interrupting; than I suggest you go up and talk with the pilot and the co-pilot. Perhaps they can let you fly the jet and give you wings." Jeeves glared into Reggie's eyes.
"Bianca wants me on this trip. Remember that Mr. Jeeves. I'm family." Reggie sat forward again and glared right back into Jeeves eyes.
"Not by blood or marriage." Jeeves replied.
"By choice." Reggie said.
"Bianca doesn't want you involved in this Mr. Montgomery. So please keep your thoughts to yourself for the rest of this flight." Jeeves said before turning back to Jamie. "The moment that Ms. Carey found out the truth she should have told both Bianca and JR. Ms. Carey knew that JR was keeping "his" daughter from Bianca; she knew that JR was an way over protective father. Even in the beginning she knew that "Bess" was in danger in the Chandler mansion."
"Babe didn't fully understand how bad JR was at that point. JR would never place a baby's life in danger. Ever." Jamie said standing up for his step brother once again; just like old times. "It's just the rest of the people over the age of eighteen who have to worry about the Chandler warth."
"JR put Miranda in a mental hospital." Jeeves stared incredible into Jamie's eyes. "How is that not putting a baby in danger for you?"
Jamie remained silent. He knew that JR had stepped over the line on that stunt. Even if Miranda was his own daughter; he shouldn't have put a baby in a mental hospital. Not to keep the baby safe.
"Once JR knew that "Bess" was Miranda he insulted Bianca; and pushed her from the second floor balcony unto some flimsy grass that didn't hide the impact that solid rock conceit has on the human body ." Jeeves snorted.

Knock Knock
Babe opened the door with a smile. "Hello, how may I help you?"
"We are here for James Martin's things." The heavy weight male said with a deep frown on his face.
"What do you mean his things? Jamie is away right now but he will be home soon and than you can discuss with him why you want his things." Babe said frowning. "Also tell JR that hecan not steal Jamie's things from him while he's out of town."
"Jamie will be living in Paris from now on; Ms. Carey." The young blond male said with anger in his eyes as he glared at Babe through his lightly tan sun glasses.
Babe stepped out of the way. "With Bianca."
The two Cambias employees walked into the Martin home and up the stairs without any further word to Babe.
Babe walked over to the couch and stared at the front door waiting for the love of her life to finally leave her life. She knew when Jamie left the way he did that he wouldn't be coming home soon; but this completely moving to another country she knew that there wouldn't be a wedding between Jamie and her anytime soon. She now wondered if there would be a marriage.
"Bianca never told anyone in her family about that." Jamie said looking quickly over at Reggie.

"Everyone expect Erica and Kendall know the truth of that horrible night. But what we don't know if JR pushed Bianca on the intent to hurt her." Reggie said calmly. "Deep down Erica and Kendall know the truth but without Bianca telling her side of it; they are willing to give JR the benefit of doubt." He glared at Jeeves. "Jamie asked me the question; it would have been in polite not to answer."
"Fine Mr. Montgomery. You may speak when are spoken to." Jeeves said.
"Fine." Reggie said. He lapsed into silence once more.
"JR has basically ruined you, your father, David and Babe. Bianca has seen fit to protect you and your father. Kendall told Bianca about how JR made sure that you didn't attended college any longer and that your father's private investigation license was revoked. Will I see that Tad Martin is still a P.I." Jeeves continued.
"Bianca did that." Jamie's eyes widen. "So that's explains the reason why dad wasn't benched for long. We should have known."
"Tad did know. You were too busy fighting for Babe to marry you to notice." Jeeves pointed out. "Bianca got a nice long call from Tad the day he figured out that she was the one who saved his job for him."
Jamie shook his head. Why didn't dad tell me?
"Bianca didn't want you tied up in college; at least not at PVU. She needs you in Paris with Maggie, Miranda and her. She is planning on you attending the University there; the same one that Maggie is finishing her graduate work before she can become a doctor." Jeeves said not missing Jamie's look of surprise. " JR can no longer be a threat to you or to Tad. Bianca made sure of that. Even the Chandlers can't beat the Cambias."
"So it's an all out war. The good vs. the evil." Jamie frowned and shook his head. "I never dreamt that JR and I would come to this. I thought we were stronger than this. After all we watched our fathers go to war against each other."
"Babe gets no help from Bianca. David is on his own also." Jeeves stated firmly.
"I never thought otherwise." Jamie said looking levelly into Jeeves's eyes. "I never dreamed it even after you just told me that Bianca forgive my father and I for our part of keeping the truth of Miranda from her."
"Good." Jeeves glanced down at his watch. "Mr. Martin, Mr. Montgomery we still have twelve hours till we reach Paris. I'll leave you to get up and stretch, feel free to eat and drink anything on board. Feel free to wander around and go up and talk to the pilot and the co - pilot."
"That's it." Reggie said stunned at what little information that Jeeves had actually told them concerning Miranda.
"Yes Mr. Montgomery; that is Bianca wanted you two to know before you stepped through the front door of the townhouse." Jeeves looked right back into Reggie's eyes.
"I have to worry about Miranda for twelve freaking hours and I don't know what Bianca's plan of action is." Reggie said.
"You are not going to know what Bianca's plan of action is Mr. Montgomery. Like I have stated earlier; Bianca doesn't want you involved in this." Jeeves's voice harden.
"Than why the hell did you tell me this than!" Reggie jumped to his feet and wrapped his arms tightly across his chest.
"Maggie going AWOL was quite unexpected, Mr. Montgomery. We were planning on bringing Jamie over this week any how." Jeeves said steady.
"Shimmer down Reggie. When you see Bianca you can get this settle with her." Jamie said standing to his feet and putting a firm hand on Reggie's shoulder.
Reggie jerked his arm making Jamie's hand fall off his shoulder. He turned to Jamie and growled. "Martin keep your filthy hands off of me you baby stealer."
Jeeves left the for the hallway that led to the cockpit.
"I'm not going to go there with you again Reggie." Jamie said with a sigh. "But for the record we were protecting baby James."
"Little Adam. Can't you get the name of the Chandler baby boy right!" Reggie snorted..
"Everything is set. Good. Than just as soon as we locate Maggie and bring her home once again; than we can let Bianca in on our own little surprise and change for her life." Jeeves said into the phone. "Yes I know Bianca doesn't like decisions like this to be made about her life without her even knowing about it. But for it is necessity. Sides Bianca will forgive us. In time." He looked towards the cabin where the young men were too make sure they didn't come out into the hallway.
