AN: The beginning is going to get a little boring, I tried to make the OB visit as realistic as possible. There is a bit of fancy doctor talk, so a warning there as well. The visit where you get the blood work done to check for pregnancy, and the visit where they run you through a million tests are actually two different checkups. But for the sake of time, and not wanting to bore you to death, I combined the two.

Oh, and I just re-watched DWP. Mmmm. Can we just love on Meryl Streep for a second., because she is fabulous, and HOT. And Goodness, I forgot how sassy Nigel was, I love it. He needs to arrive in this story ASAP.

AND THE LOOK MIRANDA GAVE ANDY AFTER HER MAKEOVER. Good god, it literally screamed GAY. Just saying.

Ok, my rambling is done,

Enjoy!


They were sitting in the exam room, Andy on the exam table, and Miranda sitting impatiently in the single chair off to the side.

The doctor finally entered the room, "My apologies, Miranda. I know how impatient you are, but I'm afraid today has been packed full of patients."

Miranda stuck up her nose, but Andy could tell that it was only a half hearted motion, "I suppose it can slide, this time."

The doctor turned towards Andy and held out her hand to shake, "Hello, you must be Andy. I'm Doctor Carol, thank you for your patience. I'm going to jump right into it- You are obviously here because you think you are pregnant, right?"

Andy nodded quickly, "Yeah- I mean, Yes."

The doctor gave her a warm smile, "Good, and I'm going to assume that you took a home pregnancy test?"

"Yes, I took 4 of them, and they all read positive."

"That's good, great actually because it'll make this go a whole lot quicker. Home pregnancy tests are only 97% accurate, so we are going to do a quick quantitative hCG blood test, Our clinic is pretty fast in getting results so they should call you by the end of the day. But we should still knock the other tests out of the way today. Sound good?"

"Uh-yes. Sounds- uh- sounds good." Andy twisted her hands. She's always hated needles, ever since she was a little girl so the thought of someone taking her blood made her a little queasy.

Smile still in place the Doctor pointed in the general direction, "The lab where they will draw the blood is just around the corner and to the left. Go ahead and meet them down there, everything is all set up so it shouldn't take too long."

Andy nodded and left the room, Miranda sensed Andrea's nervousness so she followed behind and tentatively touched the small of her back.

"I know you hate needles, but it'll be super quick and if you don't look you won't feel it," Miranda whispered, removing her hand before anyone could see it. Andy didn't question how Miranda knew such a personal detail, but she really shouldn't be surprised. Miranda heard and saw everything in Runway, so she just accepted the comfort.

The process was quick, and like Miranda said: she closed her eyes and turned her head and she could barely feel the pinch.

After they returned she set herself back up on the table, Dr. Carol didn't waste any time in re-entering the room.

"Alright, How ya feeling?"

"Fine, a little queasy, but it'll pass."

The doctor nodded, "To get started, this will be the longest visit out of all of the rest. You are going to need a thorough physical, a pelvic exam, including a Pap smear to check for abnormal cells, which could indicate cervical cancer- unless you've had one recently-"

"No, I haven't" Andy answered.

"Ok, is at all possible that you could have any STD's? Any sexual partners that you may not have known very well?"

Miranda stared at Andy, listening intently for the answer- the woman in question was looking down at her lap and very obviously blushing, "It is possible," she said quietly.

Andy didn't dare look up, scared to see the look of disgust on Miranda's face. Miranda, though, merely looked confused, has Andrea been cheating on cook boy? She may not like the cook boy, but she definitely hated cheating. She'd definitely have to ask her later.

made a few notes and then continued speaking, "We are going to need a urine sample to test for urinary tract infections and other conditions. Do you have any questions?"

"Uh, yes. Is the blood samples just going to tell if I'm pregnant? Or are other tests being run on that too?"

"Good question, we will be running a few more tests on that just to find your Rh status, check for anemia, syphilis, hepatitis B, and immunity to rubella."

"Uh- what's rubella?"

"Rubella is the fancy term for German Measles. In the United States, your chances of being exposed to rubella is extremely low. But we need to know whether you're immune. If you're not immune and you come down with this illness during early pregnancy, it could be devastating for your baby. You could have a miscarriage or your baby could end up with multiple birth defects and developmental problems."

Andy nodded her head "Right, good- test for rubella."

The doctor put her hand on Andy's shoulder, "I know this is probably still a shock for you, and the lists of tests I just threw at you probably didn't help, but I promise that we will do everything to keep you and your baby safe."

Andy nodded again and responded, "I know, it's just I have only suspected I was pregnant for about a week now, and I only did the pregnancy tests yesterday- I think it was yesterday, at least. Everything is just moving really fast and I haven't had time to catch up. I still need to think through my finances, I have no idea if I can afford a baby. I can barely afford my apartment since my dick of a boyfriend left without paying his half of the rent, and I was almost evicted because I couldn't pay it. That was only 2 months ago, right before I went on this huge trip to Paris where I almost made the biggest mistake of my life and I just-" Andy started breathing faster, taking small inhales at a quicker rate. Her throat knotted as tears started streaming down her face. The room started spinning again- Oh god, please don't faint again, not in front of Miranda, please.

She vaguely felt hands on either side of her face and someone calling her name- "Andy? Andrea I need you to look at me." She tried but everything was fuzzy, and the edges of her vision were going black. Well can't stop it now, she thought before she went limp.


Really Andrea. Miranda was pacing the room, was it necessary to give me two heart attacks in one day?

"Miranda, you need to calm down. Andy is fine, she'll wake up in a moment. You'd be surprised at how many new moms faint in the first visit."

Miranda stopped and sneered, "You may have been my Obstetrician, but that gives you no right to speak to me as comfortably as you have been. Don't think that you know me, dear, because I can assure you that you don't. You are being paid to do your job, and to be discreet about it. Not to be my psychologist."

Carol nodded, politely, and indicated to the cabinet in the corner, "There is water in there, I'll be coming back to start the exam in about 30 minutes."

Once the door closed behind her Miranda collapsed in the chair and looked at Andrea. Guilt settled at the bottom of her stomach, poor girl is probably dehydrated and if she had made Emily go do the tasks then Andrea wouldn't have forgotten to eat- but then you wouldn't know about the pregnancy she reminded herself at least you know about the baby so you can help her as much as possible.

Speaking of the baby, why wasn't cook boy here? Andrea said he left her before Paris, but that doesn't give him the excuse to skirt his responsibilities as a father. Her dislike was starting to grow for the boy. He didn't deserve Andrea, and he doesn't deserve the baby growing inside her.

The sudden shrill ring of a cell phone made Miranda blink in surprise. She automatically reached for her purse when she realized the ring was coming from Andrea- who was laying face up on the exam table. She stood up and walked over to the table, wondering how much of an invasion of privacy it would be if she answered. Miranda only thought for a second before she decided that she would just look at the caller id, and if it's work then obviously she would answer it.

Miranda fished out the ringing cell phone from Andrea's jacket pocket, and stared at the screen.

Christian Thompson

Miranda's entire body lit up in response. It felt like fire and ice were running through her veins, and she got dizzy when all the evidence lined up. Cook Boy left before Paris, and she knew where Andrea slept the night before incident at Place de la Concorde. Andrea said she has had a recent lover that she didn't know very well. 2 months since Paris. She had all the symptoms of being around 8 weeks pregnant. Slept with Christian in Paris. 2 months ago.

No. No. No. No. He is not and will not be the father of that baby. He can not be. Miranda seethed, she could feel the flames of jealousy spread over her body.

Andrea's taste in men is about as bad as her fashion taste was, before Nigel got to her. Too bad he didn't engrain his taste in men in her head along with her new fashion sense. Miranda glared at the phone that was still sounding a god awful shrill that made her want to throw the phone across the room. Or you could answer it. Before she gave it a thought she picked up with an icy hello.

"Who's this?" Christian asked.

"I forgot how annoyingly childish your voice is." The disdain in her voice was thick.

"Miranda?"

"Why do people feel the need to ask me who I am. I only run a multi-million dollar company."

"Sure, but why are you answering Andy's phone?"

Miranda looked over at the sleeping woman on the table, and her face stretch into an evil grin, "She just fell asleep a while ago, I picked up so the phone wouldn't disturb her." She could practically hear the insolent wheels in his head attempting to turn.

"So she's sleeping. Close by."

Miranda rolled her eyes, "That is what I just said."

Christian chuckled, and if you looked closely enough you would be able to see the slight widening of her eyes- she definitely wasn't expecting that reaction.

"Guess that puts a whole new meaning to Miranda Girl."

Miranda shook her head in confusion, "Miranda Girl?"

Christian ignored her question, which really ticked her off, "She asked me to call her earlier and she said it was really important. She probably wanted another piece of this. Can't say I blame her if she's in a relationship with the Ice Queen. With a nickname like that there is no way you're a good lay."

Miranda trembled in barely suppressed rage, and the laugh that left her pursed lips made Christian want to shrink into a corner and hide like a little boy. He's just made a very bad decision. "How's Jacqueline, Christian. I've heard she's fallen quite far from her cushy James Holt Job. I wonder how that came to be, hmm?" The more she spoke the more her fury increased, which made her voice drop to sub-zero temperature. "A little bitter, are we, that you didn't manage to pull the wool over my eyes. I have an entire empire below my feet Christian. Minions in different parts of the world that you wouldn't even believe exist. You want to meet the Ice Queen? The infamous Devil in Prada? I can guarantee that once she's finished with you, you will be begging, and wishing you were still the worthless nothing that you are right now." By the end of her tirade, her lips were barely moving and there was a barely discernible whimper over the phone. Miranda hung up in disgust.

She honestly couldn't believe that insolent boy shared genetics with Andrea's child. She threw the phone back into Andrea's purse, and as soon as it made the dull thud Andrea started stirring. Miranda walked over to the cabinet full of bottled water, her heels making the 'clacking' noise across the linoleum.

Once she had one in hand she placed it next to Andrea's purse, and leaned her hip against the table Andrea rested. She watched as her eyes fluttered and gently brushed a few hairs that had fallen over Andrea's eyes. The contact had a calming effect on Miranda, whether it was because the motion was something she often did when her twins fell asleep, or if it was just Andrea in general, she couldn't really tell.

Andy felt groggy. Once she opened her eyes she could see Miranda standing over her, and smiled a sleepy smile. "Mmm… Miranda? What's wrong?"

Miranda gently shook her head, astounded that Andrea could read her so well, even when she's just waking up.

"Nothing, darling. Just tales of incompetence from people that are too helpless to deal with by themselves, is all." Miranda hoped that Andrea didn't catch the 'darling' slip, but she couldn't help it when those big brown eyes were looking up at her with groggy innocence.

"I fainted again didn't I?" Andy asked. She obviously caught the darling and if the pace of her heart was any indication, it definitely affected her. But she wasn't going to comment on it, knowing that if she did Miranda would shut her out just like she did in Paris.

'Do you're job', Andy gave a small shiver.

"I'm afraid so, you're going to need to drink some water, probably lots of it because I doubt you've had enough today. Being pregnant means that it's easier to become dehydrated. Here." Miranda handed her the opened water bottle, backing up so Andy could sit up with her feet dangling off the side of the table.

Before they could say anything else there was a quick rap at the door, it cracked open to reveal Doctor Carol on the other side. "Hey, look who decided to wake up," Carol winked at her, ignoring the scowl on Miranda's face.

"Yeah, is that normal for pregnancy? I fainted earlier, but that was from lack of food and stress, and I've eaten since then."

"It's always different for each woman, but fainting can be a frequent occurrence. My guess is that you're just dehydrated- your lips are a bit chapped- and you're still going through the transition period after finding out about the pregnancy. Chances are, after you get a lot more water in your system, and things start to calm down the fainting will be far less frequent if occurring at all."

"Ok, that's good. I really don't enjoy the feeling."

Miranda grabbed her purse and coat before interrupting, "I'm going to wait in the town car, Andrea. Don't be afraid to call me if anything comes up, I'll be sure to send Emily out to get whatever you need," she gave a small smirk.

"I always knew you enjoyed watching us run in circles,"

"I have no idea what you are speaking about, Andrea. Inconceivable."

Andy gave a small laugh, amazed that Miranda is still comfortable enough to joke with her. She didn't think she'll ever get tired of hearing Miranda's dry humor.

"Do be swift about the tests, Doctor. I need to be home for my twins soon."

"Yes, Miranda."

After she left Andy gave a chuckle, "You're as bad as everyone else," she gave a mocking tone, "Yes, Miranda. God, she's something else isn't she?"

The doctor gave her a sideways look, "Something like that," she gave a small nod, they have it so bad for each other. Who knew Miranda had a soft side for big eyed brunettes.

After about 45 minutes, they had all the tests out of the way, and Andy made her way to the town car, checking her phone along the way. Her phone opened up to her recently called lists and she saw Christians name at the top. The little icon in the corner said the call was picked up,

"Nothing, darling. Just tales of incompetence from people that are too helpless to deal with by themselves, is all."

Oh, that sneaky little, Andy thought to herself. She couldn't imagine that went well

She entered the town car and sat across from Miranda. Patiently waiting for the phone call to finish.

Miranda saw Andrea get in the car and turned her head to look out the window.

"Miranda, honey. You should just tell her. Just be open for once, let your dragon walls down."

"That is not a possibility, Nigel. It's more complicated than that."

"Then make it not complicated, Miranda. Stop over-thinking. Talk to her about Christian, and don't hide the fact that you talked to him through her phone. Keeping secrets like that from her is just going to end in disaster."

"That sounds… acceptable."

"She's in the car isn't she."

"Make sure to have that spread finished by Monday morning Nigel, and make sure it isn't utterly appalling."

Nigel gave a deep sigh, "Alright, I hear you loud and clear. The spread will be ready, but only because you asked so nicely. Talk to the girl, before I talk to her for you."

"That's all." She hung up, "To Andrea's apartment Roy."

"Yes, Miranda."

Andy opened her mouth to ask Miranda about the phone call from Christian, but she could see how tense Miranda was, and thought that maybe she's used up all the patience Miranda has for today. They had gotten so much farther, and more comfortable with each each other, but Andy didn't want to push her luck. So she looked out her side of the window and kept quiet for the rest of the ride.

Once they reached her apartment she stepped out before quickly leaning back in, "Miranda,"

"Hmm?"

"I-well I just wanted to say thank you. You didn't have to do everything you did for me today, and I'm really grateful."

Miranda gave her an almost indistinguishable smile and if Andy wasn't trained to read her expressions for a living she never would have noticed it, "That's all."

Andy smiled warmly before shutting the door and making her way up to her apartment. It wasn't too late, but Andy was exhausted so she went straight to bed. She was so glad today was Friday.


AN: And the day is finally done. I just realized how many chapters it took me to finish a single day, and considering that I have to get through 7 more months plus a little I'll have to stop dragging everything out. I promise that days will go by quicker now that the (first day? second day? I've already forgotten) is over.

Who knew it is so much fun to speak through an angry Miranda!

I was going to add some Mama Priestly in this chapter as well, but I don't have enough time. I'm finally coming out to my parents tomorrow and I'm getting everything ready today. So I've been a little strapped for time.

I worked extra hard on this one! It's 3,000 words not including the AN, So feel free to reward me with extra Reviews! *wink wink, shove shove*

If not that's fine, I still love the responses I get normally!

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it(:
