Maggie spun around idly in the large office chair, listening to the TV drone on. Today was Vince's court date, and Maggie had mixed feelings on the subject. Jonah cleared his throat, before looking over at Maggie, "Hey kiddo! Ready for you're appointment?" Maggie nodded, before getting up.

Jonah watched Maggie as they walked back into his office, "So how have you been?" Maggie snorted, "Watch the News, and you'll know." Jonah nodded, "You wanna talk to me about it?" Maggie rolled her eyes, "Like I have much of a choice. It's been 3 months since Razzle died, and everything has gone to hell since then." Jonah watched Maggie plop her self down on the couch, as he closed the door, "I know that's been difficult for you. But how have things been going with the guys? I know you and Vince have sort of talked about it." Maggie nodded, "Honestly, I'm lost. I feel lost. My Dad hasn't been around much, and KISS has been on world tour, so I won't see them till next Spring. Tommy and Mick have been checking up on me which is nice but I just don't feel alright. As for Vince and I, its complicated. I still haven't forgiven him, and I don't think I ever will. He took someone very important from me, and he doesn't realize how much his choices have affected people."

Jonah nodded, writing his notes down quickly, "What's been going on with your Dad, Mags?" Maggie shrugged, "I think he's gotten into something that has taken over his life. We don't talk anymore. It's like we live in the same house, but we lead completely different lives." Maggie sighed, gazing over at the window, "All of this shit just makes me miss my mom." Jonah perked up a bit, "We haven't talked about your mom. Wanna tell me about her?" Maggie smiled nostalgically, "Yeah. I do."

Jane sighed heavily, before sitting up in her bed. She looked over to see 4 yearold Maggie, sprawled out on her bed, Nikki was fast asleep on the floor having fallen off at some point. She shook her head with a soft laugh, before nudging Maggie. Maggie blinked , looking sleepily up at her mom. "Comeon, Sunshine. Time to dance, and get ready for the day." Maggie smiled brightly, before jumping off the bed, kicking her Dad in the process.

The two made their way into the front room of the sunset strip apartment. Maggie rubbing her eyes, as Jane put on a Beatles record. Hey Jude started playing softly through the speakers, Jane gently scooped Maggie into her Arms. Jane began to softly sing along, Maggie following her lead. Nikki trudged into the livingroom before stopping at the doorway, he watched his girls dance with a warm smile. He gently wrapped his arms around Jane's waist, swaying with her. The woman instantly nuzzling into the Bass player.

"She was a Foster kid just like my Dad. Its kind of how they met. I remember she always used to tell my dad that I won't live the same lives they did, that I wouldn't have to go through that. I think she'd be pissed at my dad if knew what I've gone through." Maggie laughed coldly, Jonah looking at the girl with worry.

"Nikki would you listen to yourself! You can't just abandon us for the sake of living the Rock n Roll life style!" Jane shouted, Maggie watched wide eyed from around the corner her parents unaware of her presence, "Give me a break, would ya! I'm allowed to have fun Jane. You can't take fun away from me, especially since you've taken my entire life over." Jane scoffed, before glaring at Nikki, "Don't you dare go there Nikki. We both chose this life. We both chose her." Nikki rolled his eyes, "You didn't want this life either Jane." Jane sneered, "I was a scared 16 year old girl Nikki! But I chose her, You chose her. We promised each other when we saw those two little lines that we won't give up on her like our parents did. Now pull yourself together, and be the man I decided live the rest of my life with."

       "He didn't want me, but my mom did." Maggie confessed, Jonah gave the girl a look of sympathy, "How old was your dad when you were born?" Maggie sighed, "He was 18. My mom had just turned 17." Jonah whistled, shaking his head, "Did they fight a lot?" Maggie smiled, "Often, but never around me. Mom didn't want me to be traumatized by it."
