I do not own any part of DWP, I have just borrowed the characters for inspiration.

That weekend the family was invited to Sarah's for dinner. Doug met them at the door. "Come in ladies."

"Douglas I did not realize you would be here." Miranda nodded to the young man.

"Why big sister you injure my heart." Doug feigned as he held his hands over his heart.

Miranda glared.

Andy laughed as she hugged Doug tight. "I am glad to see you Doug."

Sarah walked in just then. "I hope you children do not start fighting I will have to separate you."

The twins started laughing, "Oh Grandma you are so silly."

Sarah hugged Miranda tightly. "It is good to see you Baby girl."

"Hello Mother it is good to see you too." Miranda was genuinely happy.

"Come in, come in Bonnie has everything almost set up to eat." Sarah announced.

The family sat down and once again the conversation was taken over by the twins as they related their experience of playing the piano with Billy Joel and hearing Meryl Streep sing. They were both really surprised at how good she sounded.

Andréa just shook her head, "More Meryl Streep movies on family night! We have seen Mama Mia, Postcards from the Edge ..."

"Alright Andy. We just thought she was lip syncing." the girls said in unison.

Andrea just rolled her eyes.

After they were exhausted with their story Bonnie spoke up. "We have news about the wedding. I want to get married back home in the church. I – we were hoping you would be able to come to Scotland for the wedding."

Andy smiled, "Of course we will be there."

The twins jumped up, "we get to go back to Scotland?"

They looked at their Mother. Miranda smiled, "So it seems." Even after everything Miranda still had ill feelings of going back home. She had no idea why she could not shake it.

Bonnie looked at Miranda. Doug rubbed Bonnie's back. "Miranda, there is something else I need to ask you."

Miranda looked into the deep green eyes of her little sister.

"Will you stand up with me and be my maid of honor?"

Miranda sat looking at her little sister, and nodded. "I would love to."

Bonnie smiled brightly and went over to Miranda and hugged her tightly. Bonnie had tears in her eyes, "thank you so much." Bonnie was trembling she could barely talk. Miranda held her close.

Doug and Andy were smiling.

"This calls for a toast." Doug announced.

Miranda turned toward Bonnie, "If you need anything and I mean anything please let me help you make this a dream come true for you." Bonnie smile and nodded.


The day of Andréa's third attempt to get pregnant Miranda took the day off leaving Runway in Nigel's hands. Miranda was nervous and anxious on the inside but she tried hard to not let it show. As always Andréa could see or sense it, the subtle changes in Miranda. It warmed Andy's heart to see Miranda so devoted to her and their unborn child. The procedure took place without incident, and Miranda laid the sweetest of kisses on Andréa's lip as it was happening. During Andy's hour of lying on her back Miranda continued to lavish her with kisses until Andréa started laughing.

"Miranda, have I told you lately how much I love you?"

Miranda had tears in her eyes and nodded.

The rest of the day was spent on the couch in the living room watching movies, and Miranda waiting on Andréa.

"Miranda stop it. I did not break a leg I can get up and get my own water."

Miranda reprimanded Andréa,"You are to be resting."

"Are you going to go pee for me too?" Andra asked.

Miranda glared. "If I must."

Andy giggled. Just then they heard the front door bang open. "Kara, what's to eat? We are starving."

Miranda closed her eyes and sighed. She looked at Andréa, "maybe you should get up and jump around a little." Andy busted out laughing.

"Mom. Andy. What are you two doing home from work so early?" Asked Caroline.

"You guys played hooky!" Cassidy exclaimed cross her tiny arms across her chest.

Miranda stood up, "No we did not play hooky. Now what would you two like for a snack while you do your homework? Kara is off for the afternoon." Miranda ushered the girls into the kitchen.

Andy smiled and rubbed her belly. "I know you are in there and there is a very special family out here waiting for you." She whispered.

Will third time be a charm for Miranda and Andy?

I want to thank all who leave comments, I live on them! :)
