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

There is a lot of back and forth talk in this chapter I hope all can follow it.

I am glad so many are happy with the news of the twins. :)

Miranda and Andréa made it back home in time for Teen Runway's first release and Miranda made arrangements to pick Alexandra up at her apartment that morning.

On the way to Elias-Clarke Miranda reinforced her warning to Alexandra. "Remember do not let it go to your head. You are good but you can be replaced. Always remember that Alexandra. There is always someone out there ready to take your place. When the time comes for that to happen you want to be the one to choose that person." Miranda sat back in her seat. Irv was the one trying to do her in and the only person to take her place was Nigel.

Alexandra took all of Miranda's words and stored them away. "I will Miranda, I will not let you or me down." Miranda smiled.

Andréa took Miranda's hand. When Miranda looked at her, she mouthed I love you now, tomorrow and forever.

At Elias-Clarke there was a sizable crowd of press. As the three climbed out of the car questions started to pop out from all directions. Alexandra was taken aback. Miranda smiled and took Alexandra's arm and walked her over to the press.

"Now if you all quiet down and give the girl a chance I am sure she would be glad to answer a few questions."

The crowd immediately quieted. Alexandra smiled and pointed to one person. As Alexandra answered questions Miranda backed up and she and Andréa went into the building.

Miranda stopped near security, "If they start to get out of control go out and retrieve Alexandra and bring her in."

The security man she was speaking to nodded, "Yes Miranda."


Miranda came off the elevator like a shot from a gun and Cecilia was standing in wait. "Get Emily and Nigel. Arrange a meeting with Irv. Get my florist on the phone. I need to speak with my lawyer, and I wish to speak with Melissa McCarthy."

"The actress?" Cecilia questioned.

Miranda whipped around, "Is there some other one I would be interested in speaking to?"

"N – No Miranda." Cecilia cringed.

Miranda sat at her desk, and drank from the coffee cup waiting for her.

"I have your florist." Cecilia squeaked.

Miranda got on the line and ordered Andréa two blue roses to be delivered that day to her office. The card read: For my love and the two children you carry. Blue roses stand for love and prosperity. Both of which I wish for you three. I love the three of you now, tomorrow and forever.

Emily and Nigel walked in just in time to hear Miranda say the last line. They both smiled. Who would have thought two years ago that they would hear Miranda utter this sentiment.

"Getting something for Six and the girls Miranda?" Nigel piped up.

Miranda looked up wondering if she should tell them or not. "Sit." She got back on her phone and dialed Andréa. "Nigel and Emily are in the office you should come."

"Miranda is there something wrong?" Andréa sounded scared.

"We need to tell them." Miranda simply stated.

Andy laughed, "You just cannot wait can you?"

Miranda grinned. "Sort of like that."

"O.K. I will be right there." Andréa hung up excited about breaking the news to the two coworkers.

Emily and Nigel looked at each other puzzled.

"Miranda what is …" Emily started.

Miranda looked down at the papers in front of her, "I called you in here to talk about Teen Runway."

Emily stopped short. "Yes, Miranda."

Nigel handed over the pre-order numbers which were adequate. "News is second day sales were higher with word of mouth. Newsstands are requesting additional copies."

Miranda smiled, "I am very proud of what you have done with the magazine Emily. I have to say it was better than I thought it would be. I am glad you reached out to other designers besides Alexandra for it. I am seeing Irv today to work out a budget for you. After that you are on your own." Emily sat quietly nodding. Miranda studied the girl. "I do want to offer you any assistance you might need on an as needed bases."

Emily looked up and smiled, "Thank you Miranda."

Miranda grinned, "I am sure Nigel would be glad to help you out if needed also. Nigel how is John doing with his orientation?"

Nigel grinned, "Emily pick a good one. I believe he will be ready to take over within a couple of months."

Miranda nodded, "At that time you can transfer to this office and start our transition."

Both Emily and Nigel looked forlorn. Neither one could imagine the office without Miranda. Just than Andréa entered the office.

Miranda looked up and smiled, she stood. "I will be back in just a few minutes." Miranda placed a hand on Andréa's back and led her out of the office. "Nigel and Emily may have heard me talk about the babies."

Andréa was startled, "How? To whom?"

Miranda grinned, "you will find out later, so I think we should tell them."

Andréa grinned "O.K. You spring the announcement on them." Miranda smirked.

The two women walked into the office hand in hand.

"Andréa and I have something to tell the two of you."

Nigel grinned, but Emily looked scared.

"Emily, smile it is a good thing." Miranda rolled her eyes.

Miranda looked at Andréa.

"Go ahead tell them." Andra laughed.

"We are … well Andréa is pregnant." Miranda announced.

Nigel stood up and hugged Six, "I am so happy for you."

"Wait that is not all." Nigel stood back. Miranda cleared her throat, "She is having twins."

"Bloody hell." Responded Emily.

Nigel rubbed his bald head and laughed. "Did Miranda do this to you Six?"

Miranda glared, and Andy laughed. "You could say that."

Emily stood up and went to hug Andy, "do not give Serena any ideas."

Andy laughed. Andy looked at the two friends, "Miranda thinks they are boys."

Nigel arched an eyebrow, "Miranda Priestly is going to raise boys?"

"Not amusing Nigel," Miranda growled.

Andréa gave Miranda a kiss, "I need to get back. Oh by the way congratulations Emily on the new magazine."

Miranda looked at the two, "That's, all."


As Nigel and Emily left the outer office they passed Miranda's lawyer.

"John, come in. Please have a seat, can I get you anything to drink?"

"No thank you Miranda what can I do for you?"

"I require another trust fund set up." John nodded. "Another child." John looked puzzled. "Andréa is pregnant …"

"Congratulations Miranda, but we already have one set up for the child."

"She is pregnant with twins." Miranda grinned.

John started to laugh, "Now if you were a man I would claim Priestly curse."

"Not amusing John." Miranda glared.

"Oh, come on Miranda. Remember when you found out you were having twins? Seems to me you mentioned the family curse coming back."

Miranda smiled, "The girls are a blessing and so will Andréa's two."

"I know Miranda, I was just joking with you."

Miranda smiled, "It is a family tradition though." John arched an eyebrow, and Miranda informed him of her history and the paternity of the babies.


Andy walked into her office and sitting on her desk were two perfectly colored blue roses. Andy smiled as she delicately touched the blossoms. Then she touched her abdomen. "I cannot wait to see you little ones, and I have a feeling your Mom feels the same way."


"Did you forget Irv?" Miranda almost growled.

Cecilia ran into the inner office. "Mr. Ravitz is not available for the next week."

Miranda glared. "If I need to talk with Irv it is up to you to get me in to see him."

Cecilia was shaking.

"That's all."


Late that afternoon Cecilia walked into the office Ms. McCarthy is on the phone.

Miranda picked up her phone, "Melissa? This is Miranda Priestly."

"Yes, Miranda, Hello." Miranda noted the hesitancy in her voice.

"Melissa, I have read your article on developing a designer clothes line with Daniella Pearl." Miranda continued.

"Hum … Yes … How did you find that out?"

Miranda smiled, "It is my business to keep up on the fashion industry."

"No I mean why would this interest you?" Melissa questioned.

"For the same reason Melissa. What you are doing is a breakthrough for the design industry. Never has an actor stood up like you have. I would like to feature your line in Runway." There was complete silence. "Melissa are you there?"

"Uhm ... yes."

"Are you interested?" Miranda questioned again.

"Yes, yes!" Melissa almost screamed.

"Good Runway will be in touch with you soon. Once again Melissa congratulations. Goodbye."

"Goodbye Miranda." And the line was dead.


On the way home that night Andréa announced she was ready to call her parents and tell them about the twins.

"I believe that is a good idea Sweetheart," replied Miranda.

Once in the house Andréa went to the living room, sat on the couch and pulled out her phone. "Mom."

"Andy. How are you my dear?"

"Mom I am doing great. Is Daddy home?"

"Yes dear."

"Get him and put on the speaker phone."

"Is everything O.K. Andy?" Anna was concerned. Scared that Andra had bad news once again.

"Yes Mother, just do it." Andréa was giggling.

"Richard. Come Andy is on the phone she has something to tell us."

"Hey peanut. What is up?" Andy could feel her Father smiling big.

Andy grinned, "Hi Daddy. I have some news. Are you sitting down?"

"Andy why is it every time you have news for us you ask us if we are sitting down?" Anna questioned.

Miranda started laughing.

"Miranda! We did not know you were there." Came Richards booming voice.

"Sorry Richard, hello." Miranda replied.

"Mom, Daddy, listen. I am going to have twins." There was silence. "Daddy? Mom?"

"Just a second peanut I need to sit down." Richard replied.

Andy laughed, "Oh Daddy."

"My Baby." Anna cried.

"Mom." Andy was almost in tears.

"Are you doing O.K?" Anna squeaked.

"Mom, I am doing fantastic."

"Is she Miranda?" Anna was not convinced.

Miranda laughed, "Yes she is."

Richard cut in, "We are so happy for the two of you."

"Thank you Daddy, I mean Grandpa." Now Andy could hear her Father crying on the other side.

Miranda gave Andréa a hug and then left her to chat with her parents.
