Now, Maggie and Emma are in store for one of their biggest adventures - raising a baby.If you remember BFF (Best Friend Forever) from NBC's 2012 lineup, you'll praise the heaven's for this new resurrected concept over at USA. In its second, the show is trucking along with nice following and hefty social support. I'm thinking it'll stick around this time!
