Andy has worked for Miranda for about five months and this begins before Andy ever went to Paris.

Thanks to my friend Rachel for encouraging me to write.

Miranda had to hire someone to hang the picture of her and Andréa in their bedroom. The two men who showed up took one look at it and turned bright red. Miranda just smirked. They took away the large screen TV that Stephen had insisted on mounting on the wall across from the bed and replaced it with the picture. Miranda nodded. It was perfect. She loved the idea of lying in bed and being able to stare at her and Andréa in that position. Miranda had the TV mounted inside a cabinet that with the push of a button would rise the TV up in order to view it. The cabinet was placed at the end of the bed. She wanted to make sure the girls had something to watch when they wanted to come and cuddle with their Moms.

Miranda became still. She never even considered this before. What if the children wanted to come and cuddle? Would they feel comfortable with Andréa in the bed? Would Andréa feel comfortable with them in the bed? God, she did not even know how she would feel about this. It had never been an issue when Stephen was here. The girls had never wanted to snuggle with Stephen in the bed. Miranda had always gone to one of the girls rooms when they needed her. And within a year of the marriage Stephen was sleeping in the guest room so it did not matter. Well, Miranda would never allow Andréa to sleep in the guest room again.

Just then the two girls ran into the bedroom. Miranda shook her head. Why were they always running? It was not like they had to travel a long distance to get from one place to the other in the house. And barging into her and Andréa's bedroom would have to stop. Miranda did not want to lock the door but she also did not want them barging into one of Andrea's and her love-making sessions.

"Wow!" Caroline exclaimed. "Yea, Wow." Cassidy chimed in. Miranda did not want to shelter the twins too much but maybe letting them see the picture was a little too much. "Yes wow is right." Miranda answered back waiting to see what the twins would say about it. "You guys look really happy. I don't remember seeing a picture of you and Daddy looking like that." "Does that upset you Caroline?" "No, you told us before that you and Daddy loved each other when you got married. I am glad you and Andy love each other." "You know we not only love each other but we love you two very much also." The girls put on their megawatt smile and nodded. "Girls have a seat we need to talk." There was a pause. Miranda was trying to figure out how she was going to approach this. "We have not talked about this before because I did not think about it. Now that Andréa sleeps in this bedroom too we need to talk about privacy." Cassidy rolled her eyes in the only way a Priestly could do. "Seriously Mother. We are old enough to know when you and Andy are in here alone that we need to knock first. Do you really think we would want to walk in on you and Andy having sex?" "Cassidy! Language!" "Sorry Mom." Miranda had to catch her breath after that exchange. "O.K. so just remember if that door is closed you must knock and then wait for either Andréa or I to welcome you in O.K?" "Yes." They both quipped.

"So, I have one more thing I want to discuss with the two of you. I want you to know that if you ever want to cuddle or need me in the middle of the night that you are still welcome to come into bed with me. That is unless you are uncomfortable with it." "Why would we be uncomfortable with it? Would Andy not want us to come in and cuddle?" "No. No. I am sure it would be fine with her. I just wanted to make sure you were O.K with it and know that it would be O.K." "O.K. fine." Cassidy and Caroline shrugged their shoulders. This time it was Miranda who rolled her eyes. It seemed she was worried about nothing.

That night Andy broke down and decided to call her parents and let them in on her news. Miranda promised to stay with her during the conversation. Miranda even decide to call the girl's Father after Andréa was done with her parents and let him in on the secret. It was going to be an interesting night.

Andy heard the phone ringing. She was scared shitless. She kept saying to herself, "Please don't answer. Please don't answer." "Hello, Andy?" "Hey Mom. How are you doing?" "Great sweetie how are you?" "I am feeling great Mom. In fact I have the best news for you and Daddy. Is Daddy there? Can you put the phone on speaker?" "News? Oh I am so excited Babe. Richard come up here. It's Andy. She has some great news for us. Hurry up!" "Hello peanut." Came the deep voice of Richard Sachs. Miranda grinned as she was listening in on the conversation. "Hi Daddy." "So Babe what is the great news?"

"I hope the two of you are sitting down. So, I have met someone. Well actually I have known this person for some months. And we have gotten close. Uhm very close." Miranda nudged her. "Mom … Dad … I am in love." "Oh Babe." "Are you back with Nate?" Andy sighed and closed her eyes. "NO I am not back with Nate. Mom … Dad … I am in love with Miranda." There was a long silence. Miranda put her arm around Andréa. "Go on," she encouraged. "Mom … Dad … are you there?" "Yes sweetie we are here. Miranda your boss Miranda?" "Well, she is not my boss anymore. I am working in the Writing Department now. You will be glad to hear my first article will be printed in Runway next month." "Oh, well … that is good to hear." Another long silence. "Mom … Daddy … I am so happy. Miranda is so special to me and so are her girls. You are going to love them when you meet them." "Meet them!" "Yes Daddy." "And when do you think that will be?" "Well, I don't know. We haven't really thought about it." She looked at Miranda with questioning eyes. Miranda grabbed a pen and paper. Would they be able to come to New York in (Miranda had to think about this) August? Andy relayed this to her parents. "August! Seems like a long time to wait … to meet." "My partner/girlfriend Daddy." "Yes." "We are pretty busy here, Daddy the first week of August we would be able to give you and Mom our undivided attention." Another long pause. "O.K. I guess if that is the only time." "Daddy? Is everything O.K?" "I don't know peanut. This is a lot to take in." "Daddy I really love her and she feels the same way about me. You will see. And it really isn't that far away. Mom?" "You're happy Babe?" "Yes Mom. I have never been so happy!" Anna could hear her Daughter smiling. "I am happy for you Sweetie. We would be glad to come meet … uhm … Miranda and her girls. We will make some arrangements and let you know when we will be there. O.K?" "Great Mom. That's great." "Good night Sweetie. Good night peanut." "Night Mom. Night Dad." Andy hung up the phone.

"Peanut?" Andy punched Miranda in the arm. "Now it's your turn. "Miranda cringed.

Miranda waited for the girl's Father to answer the phone. "Mark. Hello." "Miranda? What are you calling for? Are the girls O.K?" "Yes, yes Mark the girls are fine. I just have something to discuss with you." "Please do not tell me you are getting married again! Don't you think you have put our children through enough already?" Miranda took a deep breath. "I have not put them through any more than you have. You have no right to say that to me!" Andy cringed. She has never heard Miranda yell. "Fine. Fine. So what do you need to discuss with me?" "I want to let you know that I am seeing someone." "O.K." "Mark I am seeing Andréa Sachs, my ex assistant. I am actually doing more than seeing her. She has moved into the townhome." "YOU WHAT?" "Mark, yelling is not discussing." "What The Hell do you think you are doing? Our girls are living with you!" "I am quite aware of that Mark, and just so you know our girls love Andréa. And I did ask them if they were O.K. with it before she moved in. They are happy for us." There was silence. "Good god Miranda. Is this for real?" "Yes very much so. Mark I have never been so happy. I have never felt so loved." "Even more than when you were with me?" Another silence. Miranda could feel the tears coming. "Yes Mark, more than I loved you." Andréa had her arms around Miranda. "She makes me feel safe Mark, and so very loved. Even the girls see it." Miranda heard Mark let out a deep breath. "God Miranda I do not know what to say. I hope this is real. The girls cannot go through another break up." "I do not plan on breaking up with her." "Miranda? Are you crying? Jeez Miranda I am sorry … it's … just a lot to deal with. I did not even know you were interested in women. If I would have known that we could have had a three-way when we were married." Miranda laughed. "Neither did I." "Look Miranda I hope your happy for many reasons. I guess I am just jealous. I guess I still love you." "Mark, I will always love you for our girls you gave me, and you always could make me laugh." Mark smiled. "I am glad you told me Miranda." "Thanks Mark." Miranda hung up. Andy turned Miranda toward her and kissed her passionately on the lips.
