Presbyterian Hospital

Hours later

Andrew Philip was with his sister, who was sitting in the wheelchair. He managed to control his mother trying to take her from his hands. They went to Miranda's door, it didn't take too long to get there there but with his mother trying to take it was almost impossible.

"Fuck mom! I cannot do it with you pushing all the time."

"Andrew Phillip, I do not want to hear that language."

Andrea was too tired to say anything, but they were arguing all the time in the room. The nurse come in to help to her to change clothes. Her mother started to say that there weren't any clothes she was supposed to use.

The clothes were from Runway, Andrea knew it the moment her eyes met them. But she wanted to feel good for Miranda anyhow, she didn't want to use the clothes her mother brought for her. They were old fashioned, they are from someone that she wasn't anymore. It was covering her from head to was the education her mother got from church and school.

Andrea was using cotton trousers and a long top with ruffles a cotton shirt from Dolce & Gabbana and Chanel gold sandals. Something that Miranda had considered adequate to leave the hospital. Andrea, was aware of having a big smile on her face.

When the nurse finished, Andrea looked in the mirror and smiled. The nurse, Maria, if she remembered right said that her wife chose the clothes and was delivered the night before. Andrea suddenly felt her face grow hot causing the nurse giggle to it.

"You are beautiful and your wife knows it."

Andrea heard the nurse's words but she was daydreaming until she felt the wheelchair stop. Suddenly a smell that was very different from the air in the hospital caught her nose and she smiled, it was Miranda's signature perfume.

"Hello Andrea. You are so beautiful as usual."

Andrea blinked at the visual. Miranda was gorgeous, she knew it. But did the woman need to use these kind of clothes? It made her feel like her heart thumping so hard?

When Nigel arrived at the hospital earlier he brought Miranda's clothes. She wanted something that made everyone jealous of Andrea, that she was hers even if it wasn't truly the situation. She was older, but she didn't need to look like an elderly woman. Even with the latest moments of her life, with a damaged shoulder.

Andrea analised quickly the clothes her boss was wearing: black Chanel trousers, cerulean top-off the had never seen them, so she was not sure who they were from, and a Chanel black leather jacket. Then the same Chanel sandals like hers but in silver.

Andrea smiled and Miranda smiled back, both suddenly forgetting where they are until a male voice interrupted them.

"Hello Miranda"

"Hello Andrew Phillip."

Miranda realized that their mother had not talked to her. She would not be talking to this woman either but she at least would nod to her.

Suddenly some voices took the attention of all, it was Emily, Nigel. Miranda looked further ahead and did not see her daughters. Nigel knowing exactly what she was looking for decided to answer before Emily fainted or died.

"They are already in the car. Caroline said she needed to do something to made you both comfortable. Roy is helping Cassidy."

"Nigel, we will talk about it later, tomorrow morning you and Emily will be at the townhouse at 7:30 sharp."

Miranda looked to Andrea, Andrew Phillip, and their mother.

"Shall we go to the car, Andrea?"

At the car

Roy was trying hard not smile. The twins said that they were doing something to surprise to Andy and their mother. The surprise basically was put a lot of white and cream tulips on the car.

"Hum, Miss Cassidy are you sure it will be alright?"

Caroline looked at Roy and didn't say a single word simply because they did not have the time. The car was in the back kitchen entrance of the hospital with some paparazzis. They came around and discovered the place a few days before.

Andrew Phillip helped his sister go down the steps and Miranda was walking slowly a bit after then. Mrs. Sachs did not want to say goodbye to her daughter.

Roy came to help both women and opened the car door. Andrea gave a kiss to her brother and went first. Before Miranda was able to get inside the car, Andrew Phillip spoke.

"Take care of my sister Miranda."

The tone of voice, without any anger made her nod and she went inside the car. Then the smell and Andrea's bright smile almost made her cry.

"Bobbseys!?"

The girls looked at them both. Andrea had a bright smile and was totally fascinated. Their mother, was a bit upset with the surprise but not angry ;made them realize that the idea was not entirely bad.

"Ah mom, some surprise for Andy."

Miranda was going to say something when Andrea talked first.

"Thanks girls, it is beautiful."

"You deserve it Andy"

With this statement from her youngest daughter Miranda decided not protest and lowered the window that separated them from Roy.

"Go"

And like this the Priestly's and Andrea were on their way to the townhouse.

Priestly's Townhouse
40 mins later

Cara was nervous because Miranda and Andrea were arriving any minute now. They were a bit later and Leslie was making the woman nervous at every second.

When the lawyer arrived at the townhouse and saw all the flowers around she wanted to destroy all in seconds saying that it was the most ridiculous thing she ever saw. The maid, that had a deep respect for the Priestly's almost kicked the woman out of the house, but she knew that she was there to talk to Miranda.

When the car started to move Miranda made a phone call and said her lawyer was going to the house and to Cara give to her some alcohol because the woman will be in need of it. So Cara offered it but it was rejected.

Suddenly, the sound of a key made Cara run to the kitchen because she didn't want to be near the door if Miranda hated the surprise that the twins made.

Andrea opened the door with the key that Miranda gave her and made the first steps to the long corridor but stopping suddenly. Miranda, afraid that the woman might not be feeling well, come closer.

"Andrea, are you alright?"

A small sound, like a little sniff, came to Miranda ears and she stepped closer to Andrea. The journalist could now feel the heat coming from the other body and her face flushed.

"Oh Miranda, it is beautiful."

Miranda looked further ahead and then back to the steps where the twins had a big smile.
The twins asked Nigel to find out Andy's favourite flowers and then put their plans in motion. Not a very complicated task since they were simple cream roses.

"Hum, glad that you liked it dear."

The four of them went inside the townhouse and Caroline closed the door. Andrea was smiling widely, Miranda did not complain about the smell of roses. With this the girls gave a quick high-five. They said they were tired and would go to their room. Miranda nodded, Andrea too.

"Andrea, you must be tired from the travel. I will show you your room in a few minutes. I only want to drink some water with my medication."

Andrea was delighted with the flowers but when the words room, drink and medication come to her, she was near Miranda in seconds.

"Are you feeling alright? Do you need help? Can I take the water?"

"I am alright Andrea, thank you for your concern. I can go to the kitchen by myself and get some water. Please, go on into the small living room where I read the book. I will meet you there in a few minutes."

Andrea nodded and went to the place that she stayed a few times with Miranda and she loved it. It was a small room, not an office, there was basically a sofa and Miranda's chair, along with a small table and big bookshelves.

As Andrea crossed the small room a hand pushed her to the wall. She recognized the woman and before she was able to say something the woman started to talk. An essense of alcohol came to Andrea's nose and the girl started to feel scared and nauseous.

"You know! I know Miranda for so long that I can't even tell you the years. She is a beautiful woman and you are making her feel a fool. Who do you think you are? You are going to have fun with her and leave like all the others after James, until stupid Stephen."

Andrea's head started to ache and put her hands on her temple.

"Miranda is gorgeous and rich and she looks like she has some kind of weakness for you. Obviously you are going to use it and then ask for some fucking exorbitant divorce and I will need to deal with all the shit as usual."

Andrea head now was hurting much more. What was wrong with her and why Leslie is been so aggressive, her words were hurting but more than that, she looked jealous.

"What are you talking about? You know our marriage is not true."

"Oh yeah, but the license is true and Miranda already signed it so you only need to do the same to make it legal."

Before Leslie could say anything else Miranda came into the room. She arrived not too long ago when Leslie was talking about divorce. She didn't need to go into the kitchen since Cara came to her way with the water. Miranda decided to ask how she knew the necessity of this but decided to leave it for later because she wanted to be near Andrea.

Then when she was arriving she listened to Leslie's aggressive tone of voice and her words but, she wanted to listen to Andrea's reaction to it before she came into the room.

So when she heard Andrea's words that the marriage was not true she felt a pain in her chest.

She knew it but somehow she was praying that the girl wanted to have Miranda in her life. Her tone of voice was from someone hurt, almost disappointed but at the same time, wasn't looking forward to the untruth of a real happy marriage.

Then it became time for Leslie answer it and Miranda was now anxious to have Andrea's reply.

Andrea was feeling the whole room spinning. The proximity of Leslie, that had her hands on the wall on each side of Andrea's head was not helping the feeling. She was scared, a panic attack was emerging and the girl was feeling her legs weakening.

"I-I am not feeling well."

Miranda heard it, the fear in Andrea's voice was real and the girl saying she was not feeling good made the tiger come back forcefully and she barged into the room in time to see the position that Leslie was in and Andrea's body starting to go down at the wall.

Miranda ran to the girl, her good arm pushing Leslie to another direction and trying to cope with the body of Andrea with her own body.

"Andrea? Darling?"

The thoughtless body in her arms made Miranda as angry than ever and she looked to the place that Leslie was just seconds before. The woman left, like a coward and Miranda would deal with that later.

She put her trembling hands on Andrea's face and very kindly put the girl's body on the floor before moving with difficulty, to the phone on the top of the small table and pressed the numbers for the kitchen area.

"Cara, I need your help and call Roy. That's all."
