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

Rated M for a lot of Mirandy time. Hopefully this will answer some more questions about how Miranda became.

That night the entire family boarded the plane for Scotland and thanks to Miranda they had first class seats. Miranda and Andréa sat side by side as the plane took off. Miranda picked Andréa's hand up and kissed it. "Is your mind still racing?"

Andréa smiled, "Yes, but now I'm thinking, what are we going to do with two babies? Then I remember you have already done this." Miranda laughed. "Miranda what does it feel like to have two babies inside of you?"

Miranda closed her eyes and remembered how much she wanted to feel them kick and then when they started, how much she wished they would stop. "I swear Andréa one was active during the day and the other during the night. It was like they trying to see how irritated they could make me."

Andréa laughed, "You mean like they do now?"

Miranda laughed. "Andréa, having two babies is so special. It is hard to describe but you will see. When they put a baby in first one arm and then the other." There were tears in Miranda's eyes as she remembered the night the girls were born. They were a miracle.

Andréa watched Miranda's beautiful face, she lifted a hand and wiped a tear, "I hope I am half the Mother you are."

Miranda looked at Andréa, "I already know the answer to that question. Just look at your relationship with the girls."

Andréa shook her head, "I am more like a playmate for them right now. Our relationship is still so new. But you and them. They still come to you when they need comforting, they still talk to you. You have no idea the impact you have on them do you? What they are is all because of you."

Miranda wiped the falling tears. No one had ever said anything like this to her before. Her life for so long had been just those two little girls. Now Andréa had filled in the empty space and the two new additions will be the icing on the cake.

The entire family was lucky enough to get some sleep on the plane so when they got to Scotland they felt awake and fresh. There was a limo waiting for them and Andréa had to remember to thank Miranda's new first assistant.

They had enjoyed their stay at Dundas Castle so much the last time they rebooked for this stay.

Sarah and Bonnie were going to stay in the house. They headed to the house first. The keepers Miranda had hired to care for the house while empty had cleaned and stocked the fridge well.

It was the first time Doug had seen the home that Bonnie had grown up in and it was just like her. Petite and full of love. Since it was dark early in December they did not stay long and headed for the castle.

Doug was amazed when they drove up, "Wow. This place is amazing." Andy smiled.

The family spent the afternoon at the indoor pool watching the girls swim then had a late dinner. Luckily the girls were able to watch movies in the room which gave Andréa and Miranda some much-needed quiet time together.

Miranda ran them a bath and as she sat back in the warm bubbles she watched as Andréa stripped in front of her. The small swell of Andréa's abdomen caught her attention immediately. Andréa saw where Miranda's eyes were directed and she caressed her stomach lovingly.

"Andréa come here," Miranda requested.

As Andréa walked over to the tub Miranda moved and caressed the baby bump herself and placed two loving kisses on it. She took Andréa's hand and helped her into the tub. Miranda pulled her down in between her legs and pulled her close to her body. Her hands massaged Andréa's bump before they found their way down in Andréa's folds and over the hardened clit. Andréa leaned into Miranda and moaned, "My God Miranda."

Miranda smiled as she nibbled at the base of Andréa's neck. Her fingers found their way inside of Andréa and moved with in. Her other hand slid its way up Andréa's body and around one of her breasts. Her fingers rolled Andréa's hard nipple between them. Andréa's body spasmed as she came. They laid in the tub as Andréa came off her cloud.

Once done in the tub they head off to the bed where Andréa had Miranda pinned on her back. Andréa smiled as she looked over Miranda's body trying to figure out where to attack first.

"You look like a lion ready to devour her kill."

Andréa looked Miranda in the eye, "Yes."

Miranda laughed as Andréa went for her throat. "Mmmmmm you smell so good Miranda." She nibbled her way up Miranda's throat before placing a full lip lock on her. Andréa grinded her pelvis into Miranda, "God I wish I could just ..." Miranda started laughing. Andréa stopped, smiled, looked at her love , and wiggled her eyes. "What so funny my beautiful woman?"

Miranda bit her lower lip, "I have a surprise for you ... for us."

Andréa leaned to whisper into Miranda's ear, "You have a surprise for me?" Miranda nodded. Andréa began nibbling on Miranda's ear and heard the woman gasp and felt her cum. "Now where is this surprise?"

Miranda could barely speak, "over in my large bag."

Andréa looked up over at the bag then down at Miranda, "do not move." Andréa got up and head for the luggage.

Miranda closed her eyes and sighed. Watching the woman walk away from her naked was driving her crazy. Miranda heard Andréa laughing and opened her eyes.

Andréa was headed back to her, "This is my surprise?" Miranda nodded and before she knew it Andréa was straddling her again. Andréa leaned down and kissed Miranda fully once again. Her hand was on Miranda's clit and her fingers where inside Miranda. Miranda took a deep breath and before she knew it the hard shaft was inside her and she could not help but scream Andréa's name.

"So my lady you like the feel of this?" Miranda could only nod as Andréa moved her hips allowing the strap on to slide in out of Miranda. Miranda was purring and the sound got stronger the faster Andréa pumped. In a short time Miranda screamed out and both women came. Andréa received the vibration to her clit as well. Andréa fell on Miranda and buried her face into Miranda's neck and laid tiny soft kisses to her as she road out her high.

Once Miranda's breathing had evened out Andréa spoke, "Is there anyway to just make it disappear so I do not have to move?" Miranda laughed so hard Andréa jumped and Miranda screamed as the shaft moved inside her swollen core. "Oh my god Miranda I'm so sorry." Andréa gently moved sliding it out of Miranda. She un buckled the strap and tossed it to the floor. Then she cuddled up to Miranda's side twisted her mouth and smiled, "Well that was fun."

Miranda was laughing so hard tears were rolling down her face.

The next day after breakfast they took off to the house. Waiting for them was Michael sitting in the kitchen with Sarah and Bonnie.

"Uncle Michael!" The girls screamed and ran to hug him.

"Well girls what a nice hello." Michael stood up and walked over to Miranda and took her in his arms. "How are you doing sis?"

Miranda smiled taking in the love her Brother sent. "I am doing very well." Michael held her at arm's length then looked at Andrea. I swear if the two of you glow any brighter we will not have to use any candles at the wedding tomorrow. Andy giggled. Miranda looked at her and Andréa nodded.

Miranda turned back to Michael and made the announcement, "Andréa is pregnant with twins."

Michael grinned, Doug gasped, and Bonnie and Sarah smiled brightly.

"Well, no wonder." He went over and took Andrea in his arms. "Continuing on the family tradition I see."

Andy giggled, "I guess so."

After lunch they went to Michael's church. The ladies had done a beautiful job decorating the church for Christmas and Bonnie's wedding. Bonnie was just glowing when she walked in with Doug and saw everything. Her dream was finally coming true. Her family was back together, she was healthy, and she was the luckiest bride in the world.

She twirled around, "Michael the church is gorgeous."

Michael was standing next to Miranda and they both smiled, their little sister was getting married. They went through the ceremony a couple of times. The whole time Miranda could not keep her eyes off Andra. At one point Doug made the comment, "Miranda the action is up here."

To which she responded, "That's what you think Douglas."

And everyone laughed.

Andy was sitting with Sarah and Doug's family when she turned seeing Sarah crying. She handed Sarah a tissue.

"Thank you Andrea I should have known better than to come here without a hanky."

Andy smiled. Andy turned around and Doug's Mother was crying too, she laughed to herself.

The next day was a busy one. The Wedding was to take place at two in the afternoon. Bonnie wanted pictures outside with the winter Scottish sunset in the back ground. A local hair dresser had volunteered to do everyone's hair and Andy offered to do Bonnie's make-up. Miranda opted to do her own. Once they had Bonnie and Miranda made-up it was time to put the gowns on.

Miranda and Andréa helped Bonnie on with hers and Sarah was all smiles, "Bonnie, my baby you are so beautiful." Bonnie smiled.

Miranda smiled, "Do you feel like a princess?"

Bonnie laughed, "Yes." And she slowly twirled in the dress. "Miranda, it is amazing."

Miranda went over to Bonnie and hugged her tight, "I am so happy for you."

Andréa touched Miranda's shoulder, Babe it is time for you to get your dress on. Miranda smiled and nodded.

Andréa helped Miranda step into the dress and zipped it up for her. Andréa kissed Miranda on the back in between her shoulder blades and Miranda trembled.

Andréa smiled, "What was it like when you stepped into your wedding gown."

Miranda turned smiling, "The day of the wedding I cannot remember. I was in a cloud. The fitting I remember well," Miranda laughed, "I felt like an old lady playing Cinderella."

Andréa frowned, "You are not old, you do not act old, and you do not look old."

Miranda smiled, "It is O.K. Andréa I do not feel old either. It does not bother me anymore. I am happy and content." Andréa beamed.

Andy helped Miranda with her train as she walked out of the bathroom into the living room where everyone was.

Bonnie gasped, "Miranda I knew you would look good in the dress but you just shine in it."

Andy looked at the two women, "you both are beautiful. Now let's get going or we will be late." The four women got into the limo and they were off.

Doug was pacing in the back of the church while his Dad and Michael watched. Michael laughed as Doug's Father told of when he and Doug's Mother got married. It seemed Doug got his nervousness from his Father. Michael looked at his watch then looked outside seeing the limo pull up, "Doug it is time." Doug looked up and smiled.

Doug's Father and Michael went out to the entrance with Doug's Mother. Doug, and Doug's Brother proceeded out to the altar.

Doug's Mother and Father came down the aisle first, then Sarah.

Miranda was next and Andréa was beaming, she could not believe how lucky she was, her hand absently went to her abdomen and she caressed it. As Miranda passed Andréa she smiled, and mouthed I love you. Once Miranda got up to the altar and turned around the music started. Off to the side was a piano with the girls sitting at it. Andy grinned she was so proud of them. Along with the piano there was a harp, three violins and a guitar. Standing next to them were three women from the choir. To everyone's amazement Miranda had a microphone in her hand and she began to sing as Michael walked Bonnie up the aisle:

Forever can never be long enough for me
To feel like I've had long enough with you
Forget the world now, we won't let them see
But there's one thing left to do

Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted in my way

Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello

Say you will
Say you will

Together can never be close enough for me
To feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love you
And you're beautiful

Now that the wait is over
And love has finally showed her my way

Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello

Say you will
Say you will

Promise me you'll always be
Happy by my side
I promise to sing to you
When all the music dies

And marry me
Today and everyday
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello

Say you will
Say you will
Marry me

Andréa gasped so that was what she was doing last night and early this morning.

Andy took hold of Sarah as she trembled and Andy could hear her praying, "Thank you God for answering an old woman's prayers."

Miranda was looking straight at Andréa as she sang, and the farther she got into it the brighter her smile became, and Andréa cried.

Doug saw none of this as he gazed at his love. He could not believe the miracle that came to him. Her beauty took his breath away the first moment he saw her in her dress. Her long red tresses were tied up on her head with multiple curls falling down around her framing her face.

Bonnie had to blink away the tears in her eyes as she gazed at Doug.

Once Michael had her at the alter and in Doug's hands he moved to stand in front of them.

Before Michael could get started Bonnie held up her hand, "One minute please."

Doug looked confused.

Bonnie turned around and hugged Miranda with tears in her eyes, "Miranda, that was so beautiful. Thank you."

Miranda patted Bonnie's back, "Anything for you little sister." Miranda had tears falling down her face.

Bonnie turned beaming her tears were like crystals in her eyes.

Michael smiled at the exchange between his sisters. It has been a long time coming but his family was finally reunited.

Michael continued with the ceremony and it was beautiful.

They finished just in time for gorgeous outdoor pictures with the sun setting.

The reception was held back at the castle as a gift from Miranda. The people who all lived, worked and went to church with Bonnie showed up. It was a grand time for the couple. They danced and mingled and you could tell they were so much in love.

Miranda was getting complements for her singing from many of the church goers even the older women who remembered her as Miriam.

One person came up to Miranda while she was dancing with Andréa and tapped her on the shoulder.

Miranda turned around and gasped. "Patricia."

The light red-haired women stood grinning at the couple. "Is that all you have to say Miriam?"

Miranda smiled, "The name is Miranda."

"Oh yes, I forgot, the high and mighty lady changed her name."

Miranda and the strange woman burst out laughing and then hugged.

Andréa stood in shock. Someone was hugging Miranda, someone from her home.

"Patty, I cannot believe after all these years."

Andréa stood with her mouth hanging open, Miranda had used the woman's nickname. Miranda never called anyone by their nickname, not even her.

"That I am still stuck here and you are Ms. Priestly?"

Miranda grinned and hugged the woman again.

Andréa frowned and cleared her throat.

Miranda turned and smirked, "Do not worry Sweetheart I have not forgotten about you. Andréa I want you to meet Patricia my very best friend when I was growing up. Patricia, this is Andréa my partner."

Patricia held out her hand. "I heard about the wedding. I have your magazine at the house. I was wondering how long it would take you to figure it out." Miranda glared. "Oh yes, I knew for a long time. I guess it just took the right person to bring it out of you."

Andréa grinned at this.

Patricia leaned in closer to Miranda's ear, "even if it wasn't me."

Miranda stood back shocked. Patricia just shrugged her shoulders.

"I …" Miranda could barely get out.

Patricia smiled, "Neither did I, not until after you left."

Miranda hugged Patty.

Miranda and Patty chatted for the longest time that night. Andréa spent her time between Doug's parents and Michael while Miranda caught up with her long-lost friend.

Michael saw Andréa staring at Miranda and Patty. "They were stuck together with glue growing up."

Andrea jumped and smiled. "It is so strange seeing this part of her life."

Michael nodded. "Patty cried for days after Miriam left."

"Did you know Miranda and the girls had a dog named Patricia?"

Michael nodded, "Bonnie told me about her."

Andy looked in shock at him. "Now I know why Miranda was so devastated when she died. Miranda is more complex than I ever knew."

Michael nodded, "She always was. Not many people could figure her out. Patricia and Miriam were so close you would have thought they were sisters." "Like Miranda's twin sister?" Michael thought for a moment, "Yes I guess you could say that, but no more than that."

Andrea gasped, "Miranda and Patty could they have been …"

Michael shook his head, "No, Patty has been happily married for many years. She has four beautiful Daughters."

Andy just sat deep in thought, this one time she disagreed with Michael.

"Michael did Miranda go to church when she was growing up?" questioned Andréa.

Michael nodded, "she was always there. She sang in the choir. She loved it. She was always singing at home until it got on Mom and Dad's nerves and they told her to shut up. I remember one day right before Miriam left we were at choir practice and Miriam was arguing with the choir director. She was one of the oldest Nuns at the church. Miriam wanted to sing one of the big solos and the Nun refused to let her. The Nun told her she was fooling herself if she thought she could sing good enough to do a solo. Miriam never went back to the church and days later she left to get married. I was only maybe seven or eight at the time. It was all very confusing to me."

That night in bed Andréa felt like she knew Miranda better than ever.

Andréa loved the way Miranda's dress looked on her. The feel of the fabric over Miranda's body was intoxicating. Andréa kissed Miranda everywhere she found a bare spot before sliding the zipper down in back and letting the dress fall to the ground. Andréa admired the alabaster colored skin. It always fascinated her. Miranda's skin always shined and it was so soft. Andréa ran her fingers all up and down Miranda's back as she nuzzled her neck. She could feel Miranda tremble beneath her touch. Andréa took pleasure in the feel of Miranda for some time before she gave in to Miranda's begging to finish it.

"Are you sure my love?"

All Miranda could do was nod her head.

Andra slid her fingers slowly inside the hot wet space and found the small spot that when touched sent Miranda soring. Andra smiled she loved the look on Miranda's face when she came. When Miranda's eyes opened they were dilated and glassed over.

Andréa laid her head on Miranda's chest and just listened to her heart race as she rode out her high. She was so much in love tears dropped from her eyes.

The next morning Andy awoke to find Miranda sitting at the desk on her laptop. "How does the new magazine look?"

Miranda looked up and smiled at Andréa, "Very good for a first issue. Runway may have competition in Paris this fall."

Andréa grinned turned over and fell back to sleep.

Andréa felt the softest of lips flutter over her bare shoulder. "Sweetheart, it is time to get up and go have lunch with the newlyweds before they take off."

Andréa opened her eyes, "Mmmm, have I really been asleep all morning?"

Miranda grinned, "For most of it." Andréa stretched. Miranda rolled her eyes and got up off the bed, "If you keep that up I will never see my baby Sister before she leaves."

Andréa giggled, "O.K."

The entire Family gathered in one of the private rooms for lunch to see the new couple off. Bonnie and Douglas both thanked Miranda again for the beautiful song she sang, and for Bonnie's gorgeous wedding dress.

Doug was smiling, "Miranda, I never knew you sang."

Miranda glared at her new Brother-in-law, "Douglas there is a lot about me you do not know."

Bonnie giggled, "Don't scare my new husband off Miranda."

Miranda smirked and kissed Bonnie on the cheek. "I would never do that, you are too happy. And Douglas."

"Yes Miranda." Doug squeaked.

"You keep her happy or you will have to answer to me."

"Ye - yes Miranda."

Andy had to laugh, Dragon Lady, it should be changed to Dragon Mother.

The rest of the family's flight did not leave until the next morning so Miranda and Andréa went with the girls to the indoor pool. Miranda's Mother was to stay at the hotel in the girl's room for the night and Michael went to close the house up.

Miranda hated saying goodbye to her Brother. "Why don't you transfer to some church in New York? I hate the thought of you being here all alone."

Michael laughed, "Miranda I am not alone. I have everyone in the church."

Miranda smiled and lowered her eyes, "I had to try."

Michael laughed, "I love you Miranda. Take care of the babies. We will see each other again soon."

Miranda wiped at a tear on her face.
