Chapter 1

Andrea Sachs rushed through the doors of the townhouse, threw her bag into the closet, and slipped her shoes off before closing her eyes and taking a calming deep breath.

Slowly opening her eyes Andy looked around the hall way trying to identify the tell tale signs that the twins or her wife were home. Seeing that she was alone she headed for the kitchen, finding herself a large glass and filled it almost to the top with the left over wine from dinner the night before.

Taking a long sip of the deep red liquid Andy tried to think of a solution to the incredibly complex situation she had found her self in.

After Andy had left in Paris she had gone home to her parents for a few months before returning to the real world. In that time her parent had hinted constantly that she and Nate should be thinking about marriage and children soon. Every conversation they had ended up with her mum saying, "You're not getting any younger Andrea, you and Nate should really be focusing on marriage and a family. I would like to become a grandparent sometime in the future." But Andy couldn't bare to tell her parents that she was no longer in love with Nate and that they weren't even in a relationship anymore. She didn't have the courage.

While Andy had been working at 'Runway', the relationship between herself and her parents had become more strained that usual, when she had come back from Paris and announced that she had quit it had improved greatly and although she found her parents annoying and tedious to be around these days, they were her parents and she still loved them. Andy hadn't dared to ruin the relationship she craved by telling them about Nate and the rather sudden realisation that she was attracted to women.

Even when she had returned to New York the lie about herself and Nate just seemed to escalate more and more over time up to the point that Andy's mother was lead to believe that Andy and Nate were engaged and were planning a wedding.

This had been two years ago and Andy was constantly making excuses as to why she and Nate hadn't yet set a date.

As soon as Andy had returned to New York she had gotten her job at the mirror from Miranda's recommendation, and her writing career had sky rocketed and she was now one of the best in the business.

A year later and Andy had moved from the mirror and was now working as a freelance fashion journalist for magazines and her work had improved greatly. This was how she had come to make her little situation worse that it had been to begin with. After having a surprisingly civil conversation with Miranda at one of the less know gala's Miranda and Andy had begun to keep in contact, this eventually lead to a series of lunch dates, which then progressed into dinner dates out and at the townhouse. Sometimes they would be alone and other times they would be joined by the twins,

Cassidy and Caroline had wormed their way into Andy heart without Andy even noticing. It hadn't been until Miranda had been away on business and the girls were getting looked after by their nanny that Andy realised how much she loved the little girls. Cassidy had fallen ill and while in a panic about what to do Caroline had rung Andy at half past two in the morning asking for her help. Andy had rushed over quicker than she thought would be possible and had nursed Cassidy back to full health.

When Miranda had walked into the town house later that morning the sight that had greeted her had melted her heart. Making her realise what feeling she had for the young beautiful girl that was curled up on her huge bed snuggled up with both of her girls fast asleep and holding them as if her life depended on it.

Later that day Miranda had kissed her Andréa and the rest was history.

The sound of the twins making a lot of noise while coming in from the piano lesson they had had brought Andy out of her thought. She looked up from her now empty glass to see a flash of red hair before she was engulfed into a warm loving embrace from her girls.

Sensing that something was wrong Cassidy looked up at Andy and raised a perfect eyebrow reminding Andy just how much the girls looked and acted like their mother. Smiling gently down at both her girls Andy mumbled "I'm fine girls. I'm just a little tied" pulling them closer to herself briefly before letting them go and then pointing them towards the wash room, "Now go freshen up before dinner, your mother will kill me if you don't"

Cassidy chuckled lightly, kissing her ma on the cheek and making her way towards the wash room. Caroline , however, shot Andy a very suspicious look before she followed her twin.

Looking into the oven Andy took out the four dinners that had been keeping warm and set the table ready for dinner. Preoccupied with her task she didn't notice that her wife had walking to house, let alone the kitchen, until she felt two strong arm wrap around her waist.

Feeling as if she could finally relax after her day Andy lent back into the soft body and sighed in contentment. "Are you ok darling?" Miranda questioned, rubbing her hands up and down her stomach.

"I am now," was the muttered reply. "We can talk about it later,".

Miranda nodded against Andy's back before turning towards the twins to great them as they enter the room.

Dinner turned out to be a tense, quiet affair. It was evident that something was wrong but no one dared to ruin the calm before the storm…
