I do not own DWP I have just borrowed the characters for inspiration.

Warning if you are anything like me you will need plenty of tissues for this chapter. :( lots of tissue

Two weeks after the ultrasound while Miranda was in the middle of a run through she heard her phone ping. Miranda glared at it as if it knew it was not supposed to go off during an important meeting. This morning had just been one disaster after another and this run through was getting worse as the minutes past. Miranda glanced at the phone. Andréa. Miranda took a deep breath. She loved the woman but what could she want now? Andréa had her schedule on her phone. She knew this would not be a good time.

Miranda clicked on the message. "Miranda can you come to my office I do not feel good."

Miranda stood still. She read the message a second time. Probably just morning sickness. Poor girl she must feel rotten. "Nigel see if you cannot get these people to put together a decent run through. I shall be back."

Nigel stared at Miranda as she walked out. As she passed Corinne's desk she stated. "Coffee."

Miranda leaped out of the elevator and cleared a path through the Writing Department. Even with Andy working there now the minions parted every time Miranda came to visit her new wife, and today was no different. Only the Dragon Lady was in full force today shooting fire with her eyes as she moved through the halls.

Miranda knocked at Andréa's door.

"Come in." Came a slight voice.

Miranda opened the door, and saw Andréa sitting behind her desk arms folded on top of it and head resting in her arms. Miranda walked over and carefully wiped Andréa's hair out of her face.

"Sweetheart?"

Andy looked up with her eyes. "Miranda, something's wrong I do not feel goo … I am going to throw up!"

Miranda grabbed the waste basket and handed it to Andréa. Miranda smiled, walked into the bathroom and grabbed a washcloth and ran it under cool water. Miranda cringed as she heard her love retching in the other room.

"Miranda," Andréa barely whispered.

She went back out to Andréa and placed the cloth around Andréa's neck. "Morning sickness has started. Sweetheart it will pass."

Andréa looked up at her. She was very pale and her eyes glassy. Miranda kneeled down next to Andréa. Miranda did not remember looking this bad during her morning sickness. After she threw up she was always starving and looking for something to eat.

All of a sudden Andréa grabbed her waist and doubled over. She screamed out as if in pain then vomited once again.

Miranda placed a hand on Andréa's shoulder. "Sweetheart?"

Andréa scooted back in her chair. "Oh god," she cried.

Miranda looked down and saw Andréa's hand covered in blood. Miranda's eyes went to Andréa's legs and saw the blood running down them.

Andra doubled over once again and screamed in pain. "Miranda, what's wrong? What's happening?" Tears were running out of Andréa's eyes.

"Sweetheart can you get up?" Miranda took hold of Andréa's shoulders and helped her up out of the chair and to the bathroom.

Andréa doubled over clutching her abdomen on the way to the bathroom expelling more blood. The pain she was feeling was excruciating. She had never felt anything like it before. "Miranda it really hurts."

"I know sweetheart. I know." Once in the bathroom Miranda helped Andréa off with her skirt and panties. They were soaked in blood. Andréa looked at Miranda with fear in her eyes.

"Andréa, sweetheart."

Finally understanding what was happening Andy shook her head. "No … No, please no."

Andréa started sobbing then doubled over in searing pain once again.

Miranda kneeled down in front of Andréa. "Sweetheart." Miranda pressed her forehead against Andréa's. Miranda did not know what to do. "Sweetheart, it is going to be O.K."

Andréa shook her head. "No … no it's not." She sobbed.

Tears were falling from Miranda's eyes.

Andréa's face turned green then pale. "Miranda I'm going to be sick again."

Miranda held the wastebasket for Andréa with her eyes closed she heard her love retching.

Andréa pushed the wastebasket away. "I don't need that anymore."

Miranda sat the wastebasket down then gathered Andréa into her arms.

"Miranda, I am so sorry." Andréa was sobbing. "I don't know what happened. I have been so careful."

Miranda pulled back from Andréa so she could look her in the eye. Miranda was angry. Not at Andréa … she did not know who but not Andréa. "Andréa, you listen to me. This was not your fault. I repeat. This was not your fault."

Andréa's eye were grey. Miranda tried to wipe away the large tears coming from Andréa beautiful brown eyes. Eyes that just that morning were laughing and sparkling. "Miranda why me? Why us?"

Miranda wrapped Andréa into her arms and ran her fingers through the long brown locks. "I don't know sweetheart. I don't know." Miranda looked at the love of her life. They had wanted this baby so bad. They were so excited while dancing at the wedding with only them knowing what was growing inside Andréa.

The contractions seemed to be over. Miranda noted the bleeding was minimal for now. "Let's get you cleaned up."

Miranda dialed Nigel. "I will not be back for the rest of the day take care of the run through and have John rearrange my appointments for … hell I do not know when." She snapped. Miranda took a deep breath, closed her eyes. "I will not be in the rest of today or tomorrow." The tears began to fall again.

"Miranda. What's wrong?"

Miranda sniffed. "Andréa is ill. I am taking her home."

"Miranda do you need help?" Nigel had a very strange feeling.

"Have a comfortable outfit sent up for Andréa and I … just set it outside her office. Take care of whatever you can. Have The Book sent to me electronically the next two nights."

"Sure Miranda. If there is …"

"That's all Nigel." The phone went dead.

Miranda's next call was the hardest one. "This is Miranda Priestly I need to speak with Dr. Edwards."

"Sorry ma'am …"

"Did you not hear me? This is Miranda Priestly. Do I need to call him on his private phone?"

"No … No ma'am. Just a second."

Miranda cringed, ma'am indeed.

"Miranda what can I do for you?" It was Dr. Edwards.

"Dr. Edwards, Andréa …" Miranda took a deep breath. "I - I believe she has mi - miscarried." There was silence.

"Miranda I am so sorry. Can you get her to the office? I should examine her, draw some blood."

"Yes, when should we be there?" Miranda was just taking the steps. She could not think.

"Get here when you can. I will take care of her right away."

Miranda nodded, "Yes." And she hung up the phone. She dialed one last number. "Roy, meet Andréa and I at the back entrance. It will be a few minutes before we can get down."

Miranda hung up the phone and wiped at the tears in her eyes. Just then a knock came at the door. Miranda opened it without thinking.

"Miranda! What is wrong?" Nigel saw the tears in her eyes, blood spotted her clothing. "Are you hurt?" Miranda shook her head no. "Is it Six?" Miranda nodded. Nigel rubbed his bald head with his hand. His eyes shot open. "The baby?" Miranda glared at him, and Nigel cringed. "I sort of figured it out at the wedding. The two of you at the reception. You were just glowing more so than ever." Miranda's tears fell as she nodded. "She miscarried?"

Miranda nodded. "I believe so."

Nigel went to hug Miranda, but she stepped back, "Nigel I will get blood on you."

Nigel frowned, "You need help?"

Miranda took a deep breath and looked toward the bathroom. "I do not think so. I am cleaning her up and then Roy is meeting us in the back. I am taking her to her Doctor."

Nigel now had both hands rubbing his bald head, "I will make sure her office is cleaned, and Miranda if you need anything call me."

Miranda just stood there and stared.

Nigel turned to leave but before he could step away Miranda grabbed his arm. "Thank you."

Nigel nodded, and patted her arm without looking at her.

Miranda returned to the bathroom. Andréa was so pale just sitting there Miranda could not take it, she closed her eyes for an instant. Once Miranda had Andréa clean and the new clothes on she helped her out to the couch. Miranda went back to the bathroom and threw the clothing away. Miranda changed her clothing and washed up. She looked around and left the rest for the cleaning crew. Miranda went back and sat next to Andréa. Miranda took her hand and played with Andréa's ring. Just minutes ago they were going to have a baby. News they shared at their wedding. Now it was all over in an instant.

It was her fault. She knew they could not stay happy. She knew it would all come crashing down around her eventually. She knew from the beginning she did not deserve it all, and here it was. Hot, stinging tears dropped from her eyes.

"Andréa we need to go to Dr. Edwards' office." Andréa nodded. Miranda helped her up and she staggered. "Andréa! Are you O.K?"

Andy nodded. She was hanging onto Miranda's arm tight, her head lying on Miranda's shoulder. "Just a little dizzy."

Roy drove up to the Doctor's office door, and helped Miranda get Andréa inside. Dr. Edwards was waiting for them and took them immediately into an exam room.

Dr. Edwards laid a warm comforting hand on Andy's arm, "Andy before I examine you can you tell me what happened?" Miranda had a hold of Andréa's hand and gave it a squeeze. Andy nodded and related the events to Dr. Edwards. He nodded. "It sounds like you did indeed have a miscarriage. I am sorry for the loose of your baby Andréa, Miranda. I will draw some blood then examine you. I want to make sure your body released all the tissue. If any was left it could cause an infection." Andréa and Miranda nodded. Dr. Edwards handed Andréa a gown. "Remove your pants and put this gown on. Set up on the table and I will return in a few minutes." Andy nodded.

Andy slowly put the gown on and removed her pants. Miranda helped her. Miranda kept an eye on Andréa, she was so pale, so quiet, so vulnerable.

Miranda took Andréa's face in her hands. "Sweetheart. I am so sorry this happened to you. You know I love you."

Andy looked at Miranda and nodded. Andy's eyes were dull and lifeless. Miranda leaned toward Andréa and placed a soft gentle kiss on her lips. Miranda closed her eyes resting her forehead on Andréa's. She could not stand seeing Andréa like this. "Andréa you are going to be all right. We are going to be all right. We will get through this. I promise."

Large tears formed in Andréa's eyes. "I'm sorry Miranda."

Miranda took a deep breath. "Stop, stop it Andréa. This is not your fault."

Dr. Edwards walked in hearing this last exchange. He walked over to Andrea and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Andrea, Miranda is right. This … losing your baby was not your fault. I cannot say why you had the miscarriage, I can only speculate, but nothing … nothing you did made this happen."

Dr. Edwards took Andrea's blood then examined her and did an ultrasound. Miranda did not let go of her hand through the whole thing.

Dr. Edwards took a deep breath, "It appears that all the tissue has passed. Are you having any discomfort right now?" Andrea shook her head. "That is good. I will write you a prescription for some pain medication just in case. Andrea you are quite anemic. You must have lost quite a bit of blood. I will also give you a prescription for iron. After a month your counts should be back to normal. You may have some minimal bleeding for a few days. If you have a lot of bleeding, increased pain, or run a fever I want you to notify me immediately day or night. O.K?" Andrea nodded. Dr. Edwards looked at Miranda, "It is very important." Miranda nodded, she was numb. "I want to see you in a week. My office will call you tomorrow and set up an appointment." Andrea nodded again. "Do you have any questions Andrea?" Andy shook her head. "Miranda?"

"You are sure everything is O.K. for Andréa to come home?"

"Yes." Dr. Edwards reassured.

Miranda left out a breath. "Thank god." And her tears fell again. The last thing she wanted to do was take Andréa to the hospital. Andréa needed to be at home with her family.

Dr. Edwards walked the two women out to the waiting room where Roy was waiting. Roy helped Miranda get Andréa out to the car then drove them home. The ride to the townhome was quiet. Miranda and Andréa continued to hold hands. Once Roy had escorted the two women to the front door Miranda turned and thanked him.

"I hope Andy starts feeling better. I'm sorry Miranda."

Miranda tried to smile and nodded. The house was quiet. Miranda remembered the girls were going to stay overnight at a friend's house. The women headed upstairs and to the bedroom.

Andy turned toward Miranda. "I am going to take a shower. I have to clean up before going to bed."

Miranda nodded and kissed Andréa's cheek, her cheek was cold. Miranda watched as Andréa walked like a zombie into the bathroom. Miranda then went in search of Andréa's favorite pajamas.

Once in the bathroom Andréa stripped. She turned the shower on and stepped in. Andy stood under the hot spray and the tears soon stung her eyes once again.

Miranda after placing the pajamas on the counter in the bathroom removed her clothes and crawled into bed and waited. Hot stinging tears rolled off her face as she grieved for the unborn child, and for the pain Andréa was in.

Andy scrubbed her body raw before she stepped out of the shower. She put on the pajamas Miranda had laid out for her and stepped into the bedroom. She saw Miranda had fallen asleep and quietly crawled into bed. Miranda awakened enough to take Andréa into her arms holding her tight, soon Andréa fell to sleep along with Miranda. They were both mentally exhausted.

Sometime during the night Andréa awoken to Miranda's screams. "No, No give them back. Please. I cannot live without them."

Andy took Miranda in her arms. "Miranda wake up Babe. Please wake up." Miranda opened her eyes. "Miranda you're dreaming."

"The girls, you."

"We are all fine Babe." Miranda fell back to sleep. Just like that. Andréa knew Miranda had another one of her nightmares. She wondered if this would happen every time Miranda was stressed.

After that Andy could not sleep. She got up and wandered around the house. It was so quiet. She went to the girls rooms wishing they were there. She sat on Caroline's bed and took a hold of one of her stuffed animals. Andréa hugged it close, buried her head into it and cried. Her baby was gone, now what was she supposed to do? She went back to her and Miranda's bedroom and settled in the large chair opposite the bed and watched Miranda sleep. She smiled as she watched Miranda's chest rise and fall. She loved the woman so much. Thank God she still had her. That thought was the only thing keeping her sane. Andy laid her head on the arm of the chair and soon fell asleep.

The sun came through the window and woke Miranda up. She rolled over in bed and started to panic when she found Andréa not in bed with her. When she jumped out of bed she saw Andréa curled up in the chair. Miranda slipped a robe on and went over to Andréa. She watched as Andréa slept. God how she loved this woman. She did not know what she would have done if she had lost her too. Miranda needed her. Miranda reached out a hand and wiped Andréa's long brown locks off her face. Andy stirred and opened her eyes. She tried to smile.

"Morning sweetheart." Miranda knelt down beside Andréa and placed a kiss on her cheek. Miranda caressed her cheek and Andréa leaned into Miranda's hand. "How are you feeling?" Andy shrugged. "Do you hurt?"

Andy shook her head. "A little sore."

Miranda caressed her face. "How about I make pancakes?"

Andy shook her head. "I am not hungry."

"You need to eat."

"I can't." A lone tear fell from Andréa's eye.

Miranda closed her eyes for a second and breathed deeply, "How about I run a bath?"

Andy tried to smile. "I would like that."

Miranda came out of the bathroom and found Andréa in front of the window. She walked up behind Andréa and wrapped her arms around her waist. "Bath is ready." Miranda whispered in her ear.

Andy took Miranda's hands and spread them over her belly. She was crying. "I miss her so much." Andy turned in Miranda's arms and hugged her tight, head buried in Miranda's neck. "How can I miss someone I've never met?"

Miranda ran her fingers through Andréa's hair. "But you did meet her she was a part of you. Come now before the water gets cold." Miranda led Andréa into the bathroom helped her undress and into the tub. Miranda turned. "I am going to get some food and bring it up for you. You need to eat."

"Miranda, please get in with me. I need you." Miranda turned looked at Andréa's sad eyes and nodded. She removed her robe and slid in behind Andréa pulling her back into her embrace. Andy leaned against Miranda. Miranda kissed Andréa and shed her tears.

Andréa felt the warm tears fall onto her shoulder. She did not know what to do to comfort Miranda so she just let her.

After they sat comforting each other Miranda nuzzled Andréa's neck. "Sweetheart you need to eat. I am going to get you a fresh nightgown to put on and get you back in bed. Then I am going to make you some breakfast."

"What time is it?" Andra asked.

Miranda shrugged, "I do not know maybe eleven o'clock."

Andy jumped, "You're late for work."

"Shh no I am not I am not going in today. I am staying right here with you. I am not going to leave you."

"Miranda you shouldn't. I can take care of myself. What did you tell them?"

"Shh I know you can take care of yourself, but I want to take care of you and nothing you can say will change my mind. I love you too much to leave you alone today."

Miranda could feel Andréa start to cry. "I love you Miranda."

"I know sweetheart." Miranda stood up, "I will be right back."

Miranda leaned close and kissed Andréa's neck. She Stood up dried herself off and put on a robe. Miranda got a fresh pair of pajamas and took them back to the bathroom. She helped Andréa out of the bathtub and wrapped her in one of the big thick towels helping her to dry off. Miranda's hand ran over Andréa's belly and Andréa began to cry again.

Miranda hated the sound of her Andréa in so much pain.

Andréa looked at Miranda with her sad brown eyes. "I can't believe she is gone." Andréa rubbed her abdomen. "I don't even have stretch marks to prove I was pregnant." Tears were falling down her face.

Miranda took Andréa's face in her hand. "We know and that is all we need. We know she was real and we will never forget her." Miranda gathered Andréa into her arms. "Now get into these pajamas." Miranda tucked Andréa into bed. "I am going to fix breakfast then I will be back." Andréa nodded and curled up under the sheet.

Once downstairs Miranda pulled her phone out and dialed. "Willard I need you make me another ring. I am hoping you can get it done today and have it delivered to my house. I just need a small round diamond. Maybe one half or three-quarters ct single solitaire in platinum. The same size as Andrea's engagement and wedding ring."

Willard smiled on the other end, "I believe I can get that done for you Miranda. Do you want me to bring some diamonds by for you to pick out?"

"No, Willard I trust you will give me your best."

"I certainty will Miranda."

"Thank you Willard," and she hung up.

Miranda dialed another number. Tears once again tore down her face. "Michael."

"Miranda? Is that you Miranda?"

"Yes Michael, I wanted to call you and let you know that Andréa miscarried yesterday." There was a long pause.

"Miranda I am so sorry. Is Andrea all right?"

"Physically."

"Are you all right."

"I do not know. Why us? Why now? It is happening my greatest fear, and now Andréa is hurting because of it."

"Miranda, stop it. Just because your happy does not mean God or the universe is out to get you. Live with the happy times and rejoice with them. Remember and grow from the sad times. You deserve to be happy so do it."

"Michael, thank you for being my Brother."

Michael smiled. "I love you Miranda, please do not give it all up. Please take care and be happy again."

"I love you too Michael. Bye." She hung up the phone.

Miranda hung her head. It sounded all so simple. God she was tired. She did not even feel like she slept last night.

Michael shook his head. His sister was so complicated. She had been through so much in her life. He just wished she could relax and enjoy the happiness she finally found. Whether it was right or not was not for him to decide, but he did know his sister was a good person, and the love she had for Andrea was genuine.

Miranda made a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, orange juice, and toast. She took the tray up to Andréa and they ate off the same plate only Andréa only took a few bites.

"Sweetheart, please you need to eat more."

Andréa looked up at Miranda with tears in her eyes, "I can't."

Miranda picked up the tray and sat it over on the floor, then she crawled into bed with Andréa and pulled her into her arms.

Miranda ran her fingers through Andréa's hair. "Try to sleep." Then Miranda started to sing the lullaby to her. Andréa was soon fast asleep. Once Miranda knew Andréa was asleep she was able to relax and soon she fell asleep too. When Miranda woke up Andréa was still sleeping soundly. She watched her love for a while. Watched her chest rise and fall, listened to her breathe. Miranda looked at the clock and it was time for the girls to come home from school.

Miranda took a deep breath slid out of bed so as not to waken Andréa, put on a robe, and went down stairs to wait for them. Miranda made some coffee while waiting for the girls.

Just then her phone rang she looked at the caller ID. "Yes Nigel."

"Miranda I just wanted to let you know everything is going well here. Six's office has been thoroughly cleaned … Miranda … are you and Six doing O.K? If there is anything I can do for you …" Nigel sniffed.

Miranda smiled sweetly, "thank you Nigel, and yes, we are doing fine."

"Miranda I know you are not fine … I am really sorry for you two. Tell Six my thoughts are with you."

"I will Nigel and I will be back in the office tomorrow. Make sure Corinne brings The Book tonight."

"Are you sure Miranda? You know you can take a few days." Nigel reassured.

"I know Nigel, but I have to get back to work." Miranda sounded scared.

"O.K. but please think about staying home with Six for a little longer. Goodbye Miranda."

"Goodbye Nigel and again thank you." Miranda hung up the phone and saw Andréa standing in the door staring at her.

"Nigel knows?"

Miranda nodded, "He brought the clothes up for us to change into yesterday. He said he figured it out at the wedding because of the way we looked." Miranda rolled her eyes. Andréa smiled sweetly.

Just then the front door flew open. "Kara we're home! What's to eat?" The girls ran into the kitchen and stopped short.

Miranda was glaring. "Is that the way you come into the house every day?"

The girls just looked at Miranda. "Mom … Uhm … what are you doing home?"

Andréa sat down at the table, and arched an eye brow at Miranda.

The girls looked at Andy. "You're home too."

Miranda sighed. "Andréa is sick and not feeling well so she stayed home and I stayed home to take care of her."

Caroline walked over to Andy and caressed her arm. "What's wrong Andy do you have a tummy ache?"

Andy tried to smile but the tears came instead. Andy put her hand over her mouth and looked toward Miranda.

"Girls go upstairs and change. Andréa needs to get back to bed." Miranda tried to shoo them out of the kitchen.

"But Mommy why is she crying?" Caroline started crying, "You're not sick like Aunt Bonnie was are you?"

Miranda sat in the chair next to Andréa and gathered Caroline into her arms.

Andréa looked at Miranda, "Tell them Miranda."

"Are you sure Andréa?"

Andréa nodded her head, "I do not want them finding out like you did."

Miranda proceeded to try to explain to the girls about what happened to Andréa and the baby.

Cassidy stood quietly. She looked at Miranda and then at Andy, "Would the baby have been our sister?"

Miranda took a deep breath, "Yes, the baby was your sister."

Cassidy was quiet. "So is our baby sister in heaven with your baby sister Mommy?" She was looking at Miranda. Now Miranda could not hold the tears back.

Andy pulled Cassidy toward her and smiled, "yes she is."

"So our sister will be able to play with Mommy's sister." Cassidy deduced.

Miranda closed her eyes, her Babies were growing too fast for her.

Andy nodded, "Yes, I guess so."

"I'm glad our sister won't be alone." And it was that simple for the young girl. Andy hugged the small girl tight.

Andy whispered into Cassidy's ear. "You think we can convince your Mom to make us pancakes for dinner?"

Cassidy started laughing, "Pancakes for dinner? That is silly Andy." Cassidy had her skinny arm hanging around Andréa's neck.

Miranda smiled, "If that is what Andréa wants for dinner that is what we will have."

While the girls changed Miranda cooked up her best pancakes. The family sat at the table eating and listening to the girls babble about their sleep over and school. Cassidy got to laughing so hard at one point she thought she would pee her pants. Andréa was enjoying the laughter. Miranda was just happy that Andréa was finally eating.

After dinner the family went to the living room cuddled on the couch and watched a movie. This was the best possible medicine for Andréa and she soaked it in.

Half way through the movie there was a knock on the door. Miranda got up, "I will get it."

When Miranda opened the door Willard was standing there. He held out a small box to Miranda. "I found a beautiful stone for your lovely lady."

Miranda smiled, "thank you Willard. I appreciated you making this happen so fast. It is very important to me. To us."

Willard nodded then turned and left.

Miranda shut the door and went back into the living room.

"Who was it Mommy?" Cassidy asked.

Miranda sat down next to Andréa. She held the tiny box in between her hands caressing it. She thought she would be able to do this but the tears sprung up.

Andréa put her hands on Miranda's. "Miranda, Babe, what is it?"

Miranda took a deep breath and looked into Andréa's eyes for strength. "I know we promised to never remove our rings. We agreed to do it for the wedding so we could put our wedding rings on. Now I am asking you one more time to remove your ring so you can put on this ring in honor of our little girl." Tears were streaming down Miranda's face and she was shaking so bad she could barely open the lid to the box.

Once opened Andréa gasped, "Miranda how did you?"

"Remember, the name Miranda Priestly carries a lot of weight with jewelers."

Andréa slipped off her ring and Miranda removed the solitaire and slid it on. Andy replaced her ring keeping the Baby closest to her heart. Andy hugged Miranda and Miranda released all the hurt she was keeping inside to be strong for Andréa.

The next morning it was slow going for the family. No one really got much sleep the night before.

"Andréa you need to stay at home and recuperate." Miranda insisted.

"Miranda, I can't stay here. You will not be here. I have no work here we left it all at the office. I will go insane."

"I will have your work sent home." Miranda stated.

"Please Miranda do not fight me on this. I will be O.K. as long as I am near you."

Miranda smiled and hugged her love. They kissed. Roy dropped the girls off at school then took Miranda and Andy into Runway.

Andy walked off the elevator and to her office. Once inside she stopped. When she had left here there was blood … blood from her Baby. She slowly walked over to her desk … nothing. She walked into the bathroom … nothing. She went back to her desk and noticed a long stem pink rose with a card. "Andy, for you. Nigel."

Andy smiled. She picked up her phone and dialed. "Nigel, thank you."

"Six, I don't know what to say."

"It's O.K. Nigel."

Miranda came off the elevator and she was in full Dragon Lady mode. John could not write fast enough. "Where is my coffee? How long has she been here? Can she not get the simplest of things accomplished by now?"

On Miranda's desk was a simple pink rose with a note from Nigel. Miranda sat in her chair and turned it to look out the window. She heard the cup hit the desk top. Miranda turned and glared. Miranda had run everyone ragged that day. Luckily the next day was Saturday.

Will Miranda make it through this or will the Ice Queen come out and stay?
