Chapter 5

After what seemed like hours, Miranda and Andy were still sitting on the floor clinging to each other. The tears had stopped eventually but they stayed where they needed to be.

Outside the office, Emily and Nigel were fending away anyone and everyone in hopes that the almost broken couple could fix whatever it was that had had such a dramatic effect on their relationship.

Miranda held onto he wife, pulling her into her lap so they were sat in a more comfortable position, still craving the touch of the other. Andy responded by laying her head on Miranda's chest and tightening her grip around her waist.

"We have to talk about this," Miranda muttered eventually, her voice broken due to they nights events.

"I know, I love you though. If it's the only thing you do, you have to know that I love you with my whole heart and soul. Always." She whispered back not been able to find her voice either.

In response Miranda just herd her closer and kissed the top of Andréa's head. "I know," whispered into her hair.

Across the city, Anne Sachs was still sat looking at her phone trying to process what her daughter had just shouted at her. Having rung her Andy more times than she could care to count Anne decided to take matters into her own hands.

Leaving the café in the airport, she hailed a cab and was soon on her way to RUNWAY.

Nigel and Emily had been called down to the ground floor having been informed that Anne Sachs had turned up, demanding to see her daughter and her 'wife'. Panicking they had rushed down as quickly as they could in the hope they could stop their friends relationship becoming harder by been leaked to the press.

Arriving too late, now that Andy's mother was shouting at security about the 'scandalous' relationship the ushered Anne into the elevator as quickly as they could.

"I want to see my daughter right now!" Anne shouted as soon as the doors closed on the trio.

"If you would care to listen to a word anyone else is saying I will take you to her." Emily hissed, slightly panicking knowing of the fireworks that were going to follow today.

Pushing her way out of the elevator Anne pushed her way into the outer office and straight through the door to Miranda's slamming it shut behind her.

Looking down at the floor she took one look at her daughter in the arms of that 'women' and pulled her away roughly before either one of them could comprehend what was happening.

Andy was drifting between memories of herself and her family she was startled when the door was forced open and then slammed shut so quickly and even more so when she looked up and found herself looked into her mothers face.

Miranda was softly running her hand through Andréa's hair when Anne Sachs forced her way into her office. And she sore red when her wife was aggressively pulled out of her grasp.

Standing as quickly as she could she ran to her wife who had landed on the floor and placed herself in front of the women who had had a major part in all the torment they had been through in the last 24 hours.

After she had been forcefully pulled away from her wife and thrown to the floor, Andy pulled herself up and stood behind Miranda, hugging her from behind. Tears once again falling onto Miranda's shoulder.

Looking towards the women who was keeping her way from her daughter, Anne finally understood why people were scared of her.

"Don't touch my wife like that ever again," Miranda softly spoke, glaring at her mother in law.

A small sob coming from behind Miranda alerted them both to the fact that Andy was shaking and clinging to her wife more than she even had. Muttering the odd word which both women recognised as sorry.

Miranda turned around slowly and gently pulled her wife into her arms. Holding her close and comforting her.

"Get your hands off my daughter right now!" Anne shouted as she witnessed 'that women' embrace and comfort her daughter.

Miranda was just about to reply when Andréa pulled away from her to turned to face her mother.

"Good girl darling, come with me now and we can sort this mess you have gotten yourself into out." Anne muttered comfortingly to Andy.

Miranda's eyes flashed dangerously, anger pulsed through her whole body. But it was soon replaced by panic and uncertainness about what her wife would choose to do. After all she had lied about her so that she was loved by her mother, would this mean that her Andréa would also leave her so that she had her mothers love?

Pulling away and releasing her grasp from her wife so that she could move if she wished, she was surprises when Andréa shot her a panicked look and pulled Miranda back into her arms. Sighing in relief she let her tears fall into Andréa s shoulder.

Andy turned to her mother and shot her a look of disgust. Taking a deep breath she ordered Anne to leave the office.

Anne stood there open mouthed as she looked on at the women who used to be her daughter and was even more surprised when Andy started to shout at her.

"In fact, leave this whole building. Leave New York. I don't want you in my life anymore. I have a family who love me for who I am and they are so much more important to me that you will ever be. I would never ever treat my daughters this way. I wouldn't have the heart." Looking away from her past, Andy looked up into the blue pools that wear her future and smiled.

Emily and Nigel who had been standing in the door way prepared to step in if things became too heated called for security to remove Anne as soon as it became apparent that she wasn't going to leave on her own accord. Apparently too shocked to move while looking on at the two women smile tenderly at each other and kiss softly.

Looking on at disgust Anne didn't even protest from been escorted out of the building and made her way straight to the airport, planning on boarding the first plane home to get away from the disgrace that was her daughter.

Emily rang for Roy to come and pick up the emotional couple and enter the office with regret knowing that she had to get them home, even if she had to break a magical moment between them.

Clearing her throat loudly, Emily captured Miranda and Andréa's attention.

"Roy is waiting downstairs, I have cancelled the rest of today and tomorrow morning. I think it is safe to say that after your mothers theatrics downstairs when she came in, the press will have found out about the two of you. I have made appropriate arrangements. The twins are been picked up now and are also on their way home. According to the head, they have had quite a bad day." She softly informed the couple, wishing that she could tell them something less unhappy after the day they were having.

Nigel had come in half way through, "The press have arrived and they are surrounding the exit," he informed them gently.

Miranda took her bag and purse which had been handed to her by Emily and pulled Andréa along with her towards the elevator.

As I having a second thought, she turned towards Emily and took her hand. Squeezing lightly she nodded her head and whispered thank you gently before continuing towards the elevator.

Andy rested her head on Miranda's shoulder as the walked out of the elevator and kept her face hidden while they fought their way through the sea of cameras. Before getting into the car, Miranda pulls her wife to her and lets the world see how much she love her wife, then pulling them both into the car and holding each other close as they made their way home. Together…

Well… I want quite planning that to happen but it did. Let me know what you think about it. I think its going to end soon. A few more chapter. One with the twins and I'm sure after all this drama I need some fluff… We shall see where my imagination takes me.

Thank you all for reading.
