As Miranda finished up the last aspect that she had been working on whilst Andrea was watching the girls in the office. She glanced over to see how the girls were doing and smiled at the sight of both of her children still sitting in Andrea's lap as they listened attentively to the story that the woman was reading to them. Cassidy had started to fall asleep though.

Miranda picked up from her phone from her desk and messaged Roy herself, usually she would ask Andrea to do it but she didn't want to interrupt the story time that her girls were having yet. Not until she actually had to.

She started to pack up the things that she needed to take home with her so that she would be able to work from home later and when she got the text from Roy to say that he was outside for her, she turned and smiled at Andrea, waiting until she finished that part of the story before she announced "Roy is outside waiting for us."

"Did you manage to get everything done that you wanted to?" Andrea asked her softly as she put the kindle down on the coffee table and started to pack up her things.

"Yes, I did," Miranda said softly, "Thank you, Andrea."

Andrea smiled brightly at the quiet thank you that she got from her boss, they were rare words from the woman but she was aware that she was gifted them more than anyone else around her.

Miranda walked around her desk and took Caroline's hand whilst Andrea took hold of Cassidy's and they made their way towards the elevator. Miranda paused in the outer office to give the last few commands to Emily and Andrea carried on walking towards the elevator.

Cassidy stopped suddenly and put her arms up to Andrea, "Up!" The little girl called out to her, "Me up, Andee?"

Andrea smiled at the little girl and bent down to lift her up, "Okay, little miss." She said before picking her up into her arms.

Caroline saw the movement though and she wanted in on it, so she let go of her mother's hand to run towards Andrea with her arms up as well, "Me too, me too!" She called out to her with eagerness as she bounced a little up and down.

"Girls, It isn't fair to Andrea for both of you to make her carry you." Miranda said softly, "Caroline? How about I carry you out to the town car?"

"Andeeeee!" Caroline called out, "Andeeee ups."

"It's okay, Miranda." Andrea reassured her politely, "I've got this."

Miranda watched as her second assistant repositioned herself so that she had a child in each arm before carefully standing up and adjusting so that she had each of the twins on each of her hips.

Andrea grinned as the little ones calmed down in her arms, seemingly quite happy now that they were being carried by their mother's assistant who just happened to be one of their favourite people.

Miranda watched as Andrea's muscles flexed when she was lifting her twin girls up into her arms. There was just something special about watching Andrea with her own children that made her insides melt a little and that made her heart feel as if it were flying or floating in the air. Watching them interact made her feel like she was falling even deeper in love with her impossible woman. The white-haired Editor-in-Chief bit her lip gently as she watched the ripple of the woman's muscles as she carried the girls.

Emily felt herself blushing as she noticed Miranda's reaction to Andrea carrying both of the girls, not that Miranda noticed anything other than Andrea of course.

After a moment of distraction, Miranda followed her second assistant to the elevator and got in with her. Her mind was taunting her with ideas of what they could be doing in the elevator if the girls weren't in there with them and she rolled her eyes at herself in annoyance.

Once Miranda had stepped into the metal box of the elevator, she reached over and pressed the button for the ground floor and the doors closed, trapping them inside together.

Andrea was bouncing the girls up and down in her arms to make them giggle with happiness.

The girls were highly amused with being bounced and then when their laughter echoed in the small metal box it made them laugh even more than they already had been.

Miranda, however, despite loving the sound of her children's laughter found herself heavily distracted by the movement of Andrea's arm muscles as she bounced the children with ease. She had never really been interested in her partner's muscles before but there was something about Andrea's that she found to be magnetic and she found herself wondering what it would be like to watch her doing pull-ups or push-ups. Her mind's imagination even offered up an image of Andrea doing push-ups with the girls on her back.

When the elevator doors opened, Andrea stepped out of it with the girls still in her arms. Miranda hadn't noticed that the elevator had come to a stop until she watched the other woman step out of the elevator car. Soon, Miranda was stepping out of the car too and following Andrea out of the building towards the town car.

Roy already had the door open for them and he didn't hesitate in helping Andrea to get the children into the car, he took them from her with ease and on the dark-haired woman's instruction before Andrea climbed in herself. Once Andrea was in, she put her arms out for the first child and then the second.

Miranda got into the car and helped strap the children into their safety car seats. Andrea strapped in Caroline whilst Miranda helped Cassidy into her seat and secured her.

Once the two girls were securely strapped into their seats, the two women sat down and put their belts on before Miranda instructed Roy to go home.

The journey home wasn't as quiet or boring as it usually was for Miranda as she found herself playing along with car games that Andrea encouraged the girls to play.
