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

That week at Runway things were pretty much back to normal. John had taken over almost the entire Art Department.

Alina was becoming more relaxed with her job. Miranda had her to the office to go over some of her articles. Miranda spent the most of one afternoon showing her where she could improve on or change the articles to make them better. Alina sat in owe of Miranda. She was learning more from one afternoon with Miranda than she had in two years in college. She did not know how it happened but she was thanking the powers to be for putting her here.

Miranda mused to herself. This girl was going to go places. She hoped Runway was going to be exciting enough to keep her for a few years.

Alina felt Andy was the luckiest person in the world. She only hoped that one day she would be as happy as Miranda was both in her work and private life.

Miranda had tried again to get in to see Irv. She stopped at his office and demanded from his secretary to let her in. Miranda had the women in tears before she left. "This is simply incompetent." She mumbled as she marched into her inner office. Thank god there was steaming hot coffee waiting for her.

Miranda took the cup closed her eyes and took a drink. "Gees Miranda, that act could be used as a lethal weapon. No wonder Andrea fell in love with you."

Miranda opened her eyes and turned, "Oh, hello Leslie."

Leslie smiled and sat down uninvited, "I have come to see if you need any help in preparation for your retirement. Have you planned anything?" Miranda eyed her suspiciously. "I just came to see if you had any plans. Want to start a new magazine? Take on some freelancing?"

Miranda sat down. "I plan on raising my children, and the only freelancing I will be doing is for Runway. She is my baby I would never do anything to bring her or Teen Runway down. Irv has nothing to worry about."

Leslie sighed, "Miranda that is not what I or the board was thinking. I told you, you have nothing to worry about regarding Runway or the Board."

Miranda took a breath and just eyed Leslie.

Leslie decide to change the subject, "Andréa is looking amazing, how is she feeling?"

"She is doing well, thank you." Miranda simply stated.

Leslie was frustrated, "Miranda please."

"Please what Leslie? Please what are you hiding from me this time?"

"Miranda I said I was sorry and I had to do my job."

Miranda took a deep breath and nodded, "O.K. sorry."

Leslie shook her head, "No it is not O.K. You would have done the same thing. Just think about it! So, my offer still stands do you need help with anything?"

Miranda examined the women sitting in the seat across from her. She was right, how could Miranda punish someone for doing the same thing she would have done. Miranda smiled, "No but thank you for the offer. Really Leslie I have everything covered."

"Any time Miranda." Leslie stood to leave and then turned, "It is all going to turn out Miranda."

Miranda just stared after the woman.

The shoot for the newswomen was set for the following day. The designers and models were due in at various times and they were to be picked up and settled in at the Ritz. The following day they would be brought into Runway via limo driven by Roy. Miranda would not trust anyone else with the task. Miranda went to the studio were Anne was setting up and she went over to talk to the photographer.

"Anne thank you for once again doing the shoot for us."

"I have told you before Miranda when you want me you have me. I have had so much fun doing these special little shoots for you. Everything is always new and fun."

Miranda smiled, "will you be doing Andréa after your done here?"

Anne smiled, "I cannot wait."

"We just love the ones you have done so far." Miranda was beaming.

"They are very beautiful. Especially the ones with you in them." Miranda blushed.

The next day ran smoothly. The five women were all at the studio at the same time and they were having fun. Runway was supplying wine champagne and finger foods throughout the day. There was plenty of places for the women to sit or lay down when they were not being photographed so they could rest and chat or be alone if they so choose, but none did that. Their adrenalin was running high that they had been asked by Miranda Priestly to be in her magazine. Miranda smiled because they all acted like little girls who had turned into Cinderella. That is all but Ellen, but she was just as happy to model the tailored suits made for her from the various designers. Anne was enjoying herself with the women. They did everything she had asked of them. The pictures were stunning. The cover was going to be a group picture with all of them in their best gown or pant suit as it may be. One of Miranda's favorite was with Ellen in an all white suit and Katie and Robin swooning over her in their couture gowns. Ellen was smug while the other two women were laughing.

After Anne was done with the women Andréa was called down. Andréa was quite large now with the boys and she was just radiant. Miranda had never seen anyone look more beautiful and it showed in her face as she gazed on her love. The last few picture once again as always was Andréa completely nude with Miranda caressing her belly. Only now Miranda was dressed in a beautiful see through silk glittered gown. Anne just beamed at the scene. These were some of the most beautiful pictures she had ever done. Andrea made a beautiful pregnant woman. And the love between the two women was unreal. Every time Anne put them together the world disappeared and it was just them. It was amazing how the Ice Queen melted.
