Priestly's Townhouse

8:30 am

Cara has working since last night nonstop, she only went briefly to her home for a quick shower and a few hours of sleep. Cassidy and Caroline rang her yesterday afternoon telling her they wanted to have a surprise for their mother and Andy. Included in that surprise was a couple of Miranda's favourite foods and a lot of ice-cream, lowfat, for Andrea.

The short notice made the woman go crazy in the kitchen. Miranda had a very refined taste with food and wine and everything needed to be perfect, something that was not perfect, was no good. After years of listening to this, Cara started to believe in her employer's words.

Cara made a phone call to Emily and asked for her help. The twins wanted a lot of flowers in the entrance hall. Cara did not know who would be the best delivery company, according Miranda.

If Cara needed to buy flowers for herself she goes to the small supermarket near her place to buy but we are talking about Miranda Priestly that means, something special and not from a small supermarket flowers.

The phone call was short and Emily guaranteed that everything will be done perfectly. If Miranda did not like it Emily will be blamed, not her.

Presbyterian Hospital

Dr. Sharon was relieved that she was going on a holiday. It will be an amazing week for herself. Travelling to Buenos Aires, was a place that she always wanted to visit.

Pablo, a friend from her university years', was living there for almost five years now and invited her. But, before her time to herself, she needed to talk to Andrea and Miranda. Since both of them were leaving the hospital this afternoon she wanted to give them some instructions for aftercare.

The doctor was crossing the corridor when she heard and saw some commotion.

Andrea's mother was crying terribly and her son Andrew Philip was trying to comfort her. The doctor started to walk quickly until she stopped in front of them.

"What is happening here?"

"Hi Dr. Sharon. My mother just received a letter from a man. It says my father wants a divorce."

At this the woman started to cry harder. The doctor put her hand on the woman's shoulder but did not say a word. She was thinking it was a bit strange since she had witnessed this behaviour with Miranda when she introduced herself as Andrea's wife. The man could not have an open mind about divorce and be homophobic, could be?

"Does your sister know about it?"

"No. Mom doesn't want to tell."

The teenager signalized with his head to the doctor that move a bit so they could talk in privacy.

"You know, to mom this is the worse thing in the world. They are very religious and to be a divorced woman is worse than death."

"Your sister will be released in a few hours. Do you think you might be able to control her? I don't want your sister upset with this situation. It would not be good."

"Yes. I can do that. But, uhm, doctor, is Andy staying with the dragon?"

"Andrew, you are an adorable boy you know. But about your sister and Miranda's life, it is up to them. But we know how she feels about it, don't we?"

Andrew Philip smiled to the doctor and after walked back to his mother.

"Come on mom. You need to be calm for when Andy is leaving okay. You do not want her upset, do you?"

"She is going with that woman, isn't she?"

Andrew Philip did not like his mother tone of voice. He understood his mother's belief, but she needed to make sure she would not be the one hurting her daughter. Their father already did a lot of damage.

"Mom, you know Andy loves you right? Do you want make her upset right now? Didn't she suffer enough with this attack?"

"Yes Andrew. But this does not mean I agree with her living with her "wife""

Andrew Philip took his mother's hand and they started to walk to the cafeteria in the hospital. Looked like this place had a lot of fans since there were cakes and others delights to try to make people less upset.

"Hey mom, what about that chocolate and apricots cake that we loved?"

Andrea's room

Dr. Sharon knocked on the door and slowly come in after the affirmative voice of Andrea. She was recovering well now and the babies were fine but the doctor was still concern about her memory. All the exams didn't show any risk but for some reason the memory does want to come back.

"Hi Andrea."

"Hi Dr. Sharon."

"How are you feeling?"

"I am okay but I am a bit scared you know. I am going to my boss's house and I am married to her, even if not true. How should I behave around her?"

"Are you scared of her? Do you feel that she is a danger?"

At this Andrea moved in the bed. How could she explain it to someone?

"No, Miranda would never do anything to hurt me physically but it was a strange situation. You know how I feel about her, but what if she doesn't like me?!"

"Well, Andrea, I believe that she gave you a lot of proof that she cares."

"Yes doctor and I will never be thankful enough, but care and love are two different things."

"Yes I agree. But Andrea, you are going to be released in less than two hours I believe but I need to talk about how you're going to deal with everything by yourself."

Dr. Sharon and Andrea talked for almost ten minutes and at the end the doctor gave her the phone numbers of a few friend of hers, a counselling centre and her personal mobile and home numbers too.

"I am going on a holiday for a few days but these are my numbers, I spend more time here, than at home. You could always leave a message here. I only ask not in the next 12 days, after that, anytime."

"Thanks Dr. Sharon."

"You're welcome Andrea."

Dr. Sharon left the room and prepared herself for the dragon. She was not sure what would be coming from Miranda's room but she wanted to see these two together and if she needed to play cupid, she will.

Miranda's room

Miranda was having a small talk with James for almost ten minutes, exactly nine minutes and forty-eight seconds, they were having problems about the next week's arrangement since he had long time with the twins.

"James, I really love you and you know that. You are the father of my girls but you stayed too long with them."

"Miranda, you cannot do everything with your shoulder like that. It is not sensible!"

"This?"

Miranda gesticulate to her shoulder and half arm, that had a bandage.

"This is nothing James and the doctors are saying I am good. A few more days and I will take it out."

"Miranda. Caroline and Cassidy have plans for next weekend. Don't you remember?"

"Yes it was obvious that I remember James. You DO NOT need to tell me. They want to go to that rock... hum Pearl Jam that took me a while to find the tickets."

"Haha, Miranda. You are not the one that found the tickets, it's that poor assistant of yours. Emily. Or it is Andrea now?!"

"James, do not say a thing about Andrea."

"Oh, because I am offending your assistant or your wife?!"

At this Miranda decided she took enough of insults from him. She started to stand up from the bed and slowly walked over to him.

James remembered very well this cadence of walk from his ex-wife. Not a lot of people saw it, usually they just see the dragon, that scares a lot of people. But this, what he always called the tiger preparing to kill his prey is much more frightening.

"Miranda. Come on, calm down!"

Miranda was now face to face to James. The man was tall, taller than her especially when she was barefoot but still. She could make any man become a baby in seconds and pee themselves.

"You listen to me very well James, one, and I said ONE more offense to Andrea and you are going to regret the day you met me. Do you understand!?"

At that exact moment Dr. Sharon came into the room. She was preparing to knock the door when she heard the tone of voice Miranda . Whatever was happening inside that room couldn't be good. She decided to forget the manners and went inside.

"Hi Miranda."

Miranda looked at the doctor with ice in her eyes. James decided to leave the room at that moment, it was better this way.

"We are not finished James. Do you understand!?"

"Yes Miranda."

Like that James was gone in seconds outside the room. At the same time the girls were coming with Nigel who decided to visit Miranda before she went home.

Nigel knew James very well and what he just saw was not a good sign. Miranda was in a terrible mood, at least.

"Hello James."

"Good luck Nigel, you will need it. Girls, you both are staying with your mother until she is released okay. I am sure that Roy will take you all home."

Caroline stepped toward her father and with her sister's nod, decided to try and find out what happened.

"Dad?"

"Your mother is not nice today. And girls, just a bit of advice, don't say Andrea Sachs' name to her."

The girls nodded. They knew that their mother would defend Andy against anyone. She loved the woman as much as them.

"It is okay dad. See you next weekend."

"Oh, the doctor is inside. Wait here."

James left the girls with Nigel company and take his mobile.

"Leslie, we need to talk."

"What happened James?"

"Miranda is more than in love this girl. You need to be prepared to combat the press in the best way as possible. She would kill for that woman."

"James, come on. She probably had a crush on that girl. She is what, half her age!"

"Leslie, maybe Andrea had a crush. Miranda I tell you was not enamored with this girl. She might have once be enamored to myself but she NEVER, ever had this strong feeling for someone. I could tell, even I was a bit jealous. This girl might be something else."

"And what do you want me to do? I am arriving at the hospital in ten minutes."

"Leslie, call her and go straight to the townhouse. You do not need to come here, believe me. But if I know her well enough, she will be in need of you."

"Why?"

"She looked like a tiger that was going to kill anyone that came near her family. And, well, Andrea Sachs is family now. I only saw Miranda like this with the girls."

"Thanks James. Do, urgh, I see you later?"

"Yes."
