They were brought out of their bubble by a knock on the entrance door and were shocked to see Clarisse make her way out and towards them.

¨Miranda I've had your team taken back to Elias and Clark´s building and you are more than welcome to stay for dinner with us¨ the older woman said before seeing both women holding hands and smiling at that before continuing

¨Thank you so much Queen Clarisse but I am sure my girls must be waiting for¨ Miranda answered with a fond smile

¨Oh dear one, they are more than welcome to accompany us. I could even have Joe get them. I´d love to see them again. I´ve been waiting for a chance to show them our library and to invite them to visit me in Genovia as well¨

¨Just them? ¨ Miranda joked shocking herself at feeling so at ease and earning a chuckle from both women

¨You three have always been welcome to visit and stay as long as you would desire dear Miranda¨ Clarisse said while squeezing the woman´s hand looking into blue eyes that shone with understanding.

¨I know you are aware of my reach on your job as CEO and Editor in Chief Miranda¨ this made Miranda´s eyes widen waiting to be fired right then and there.

¨What is that supposed to mean grandma!?¨ Andy asked defensively while hugging her lover by the waist and pressing her to her side. She was not going to let her grandmother fire the woman.

¨Andrea, sweetie, I believe you do not know that I own the company that Miranda works for nor that the head house is located in Genovia¨ this left both woman speechless and made Miranda´s eyes water.¨ Is Clarisse really trying to say what I think she is?¨ she thought to herself

¨Wait what? ¨ Andy was stunned and had no idea what was going on

¨I am simply letting Miranda know that, should she wish to, she will always have a job either way my sweet granddaughter. I simply want her to base her final decision on her her twin´s and her own feelings as well as their desires rather than it being a business issue¨ Clarisse finished and found herself engulfed by Andy on a tight hug.

¨I can´t thank you enough grandma but I would never ask for them to leave their life behind for me¨ Andy said. She was a bit relived that her grandmother was being so attentive but she didn´t think Miranda would even think about moving just to accompany her with her royal obligations.

Miranda, for her part tried to divert the situation ¨Clarisse, I will give my bobbsies a call to ask if they´d like to join or have me return. They have been asking about you nonstop¨ making the Queen smile brightly and nod fervently much to their surprise. You could easily see how fond of the girls the Queen was and, at that moment, Miranda saw right away the resemblance her Andrea had to the older woman.

¨Grandma, I don´t think I will be accepting. I cannot make them leave to follow me somewhere else¨ Andy said. She could see Miranda speaking on the phone and they laughed at the sight of her taking the phone away from her ear for a second; they could even hear the girls scream.

¨Sweetie, you would be surprised at what a person in love and two loving daughters are capable when it comes to follow their happiness¨ Clarisse said before taking her back to the dining room so they could let Joe know he would have to get the twins. It surprised Andy to see the man smile brightly for a second before nodding and walking away fast.

¨He likes to pretend they annoy him but I have seen them plan pranks at guests at important meetings. It´s like having three kinds around¨ Clarisse said making Andy chuckle

¨Why did you already tell him to leave? Miranda hasn´t even told us what they said¨ she told the other woman after a few minutes of being in silence.

¨Sweetie, you have a lot to learn¨ Clarisse smirked

.-

¨How is it that you know them so well?¨ Andy asked. She was highly surprised by her grandmother´s actions and how the twins had reacted over the phone

¨It was about four years ago that we were having a meeting at Elias and Clark and the two had been dropped off by their father without telling Miranda. Those two simply run into the meeting room with Miranda´s assistant on tow¨ Clarisse started making Andy chuckle. She could picture that poor assistant planning a country to run to

¨Oh god that poor assistant! How did Miranda react?¨ Andy said making them chuckle

¨She was highly embarrassed but I had them sit by me while asking them to take notes for me to keep them occupied. I have to say those two have an amazing eye¨ The Queen said amused and fondly before continuing ¨After that meeting I had my evening free and we´d been talking about a show they wanted to see so I arranged to go the theater after asking Miranda if she´d be fine with me taking them¨

¨What did you guys saw?¨ Andy asked. She would´ve liked to have her grandmother do things like this for her but she knew the older woman had been there for her on a different way.

¨We saw Wicked and I asked Idina Menzel if she´d be amicable at meeting them which she agreed instantly. After that evening I simply asked Miranda if her daughters could join as at some galas so I could enjoy their presence and that´s how I found out Joe had a hidden prankster side since a few times I could see guests be scared by bombs under their tables¨ Clarisse finished while laughing

¨Oh god I would´ve loved to see Miranda´s reaction to that!¨ Andrea was laughing so hard and was really happy to know that her grandma already had such an impact on the girls lives. It made everything even better.

¨Oh she always pretended to be unaware of this or even mad but we all knew that she kept bringing them not only at their demand but also because they made our meetings and galas more enjoyable; It was even better that they made one of the most annoying board members their target¨ Clarisse smirked and then school her features to turn to Miranda since they had heard the door close behind them

¨Well, apparently I'm on the dog house for not telling them that I was on my way here in the first place. They even suggested taking a cab right this second¨ Miranda laughed and shook her head lightly

¨That is great given that Joe has already left to get them¨ Clarisse said before leaving with a little jump to her steps clearly happy about this new scenario.

It left Andy and Miranda laughing behind before turning to each other and hugging

¨My grandma was telling me how she´d meet the twins. I´m so glad to know they really enjoy their time together¨ Andy said softly

¨The twins are really fond of Clarisse; she´s always acted like a true grandmother to them and they love the attention since my parents are no longer here and their father´s don´t really acknowledge them at all¨ Miranda said while leaving a little kiss on Andrea´s neck making the woman shiver

¨I´m amazed you´ve let them prank people at the galas and meetings¨ Andy asked chuckling

¨Oh come on, how can I refuse to see Irv being prancked at. It´s a different way of justice¨ Miranda leaned back and smirked which earned her a chuckle from Andy and a peck

¨Who´s Irv?¨

¨He´s a pain in my ass and one of the board members¨ Miranda said softly before adding in a whisper ¨I can´t believe this is real¨

¨I am surprised that you actually feel the same. You´re so amazing, beautiful, stunning, smart and such an amazing mother to those two trouble makers that I can´t believe I am the one who gets to be with you¨ Andy said. Miranda was speechless; she had never had anyone speak to her like that nor acknowledge her parenting skills and, at that moment, she knew what she felt was deep and soulful love for the young woman in front of her

After a few minutes of them hugging onto the sofa in the room they were interrupted by a knock again.

¨Princess, the Queen is asking for your presence on the front room. It appears that the girls have arrived¨ Charlotte said and left swiftly.

Miranda´s eyes widened and left almost running to see her girls and found them hugging Clarisse who had knelt on the floor and was peppering kisses on their faces taking turns with each much to the adult´s amusement
