A shorter chapter since I'm struggling with a longer one.. I promise the next update will be soon!

Andrea heard Miranda enter the townhouse, closing the door behind her, and smiled thinking that tonight she'd be able to enter the sleeping realm with Miranda by her side.

It was one of the brunette's favorite activities, dozing off knowing that the editor was right next to her, often with her arm and leg thrown across the younger woman. Miranda showed her love even while she was asleep, her fiercely protective nature apparent even while she was in Morpheus' land.

Andy heard Miranda climb the stairs to the first floor-she's going to check on the girls - she thought. Caroline and Cassidy had adjoining rooms, and Miranda made it a habit to check on them as soon as she got back home.

The journalist then decided to leave her study to meet Miranda, knowing where the fashion maven would go next. The same routine had been going on since Andy had gotten back from the hospital: if Miranda wasn't back home for dinner she'd go up and see her babies as soon as she got home.

When Andy got to the first floor she noticed that both of the girl's doors were closed, and realized that Miranda had indeed gone to the newly decorated room. She padded to the room and saw Miranda looking down towards the crib, her blue eyes full of love for the little life that was sleeping peacefully.

The editor was a vision by her own, her long midnight blue dress hugging her body and showcasing her slim figure. She still had on her jewelry, the silver pendant sparkling in the low light of the room and highlighting her iconic hair.

"Mira," Andy whispered, and the editor's face lit up, a smile gracing her lips.

"Hello darling," she answered, "I thought you'd already be in bed. It is quite late."

The brunette moved to stand behind her, encasing the white haired woman in her arms and nuzzling into the crook of her neck. "Hmm no, I wanted to wait for you. You know how much I love falling asleep with you."

Miranda chuckled and caressed the arms across her waist. "Yes I do remember your proclivity to cuddle up as soon as I set foot in the bed," she said, "Let's hope our baby will let us sleep for a few hours tonight."

Andy then turned her gaze towards the small bundle the editor had been staring at for the last few minutes. Baby Thomas Priestly-Sachs was quite small, but he already had brown tufts of hair adorning his head, and big blue eyes that promised to be as expressive as his mother's. The editor knew he would have her wrapped around his little finger, and couldn't wait for that to happen. They had chosen to use a donor with blue eyes, and while Andrea knew that nobody's eyes could rival with Miranda's she had hoped for a fair degree of similarity.

They spent a few minutes looking at their son, then Andrea squeezed the woman in her arms and lowered her head on Miranda's bare shoulder.

"Come on Mira," Andy murmured, "Let's go to bed. I want to enjoy the peace while it lasts and before our little terror here wakes up for his midnight snack."

"Yes my darling," Miranda answered, turning in the arms that held her and kissing Andrea languidly. "Let me kiss Thomas goodnight and then we'll go upstairs."

The editor leaned down and kissed the baby on his forehead, while she caressed his cheek. Andrea extended her hand, and when Miranda laced their fingers together she gently tugged towards the door.

The white haired woman however stopped at the door, looked towards the crib and then turned towards her wife. "I love you Andréa, and I love Thomas so much. You both, along with Caroline and Cassidy, are my greatest treasures, my family. I never knew I could love to this extent and my life has become so much better now that you're in it. I don't think I can aptly describe how much I care for all of you."

Andrea answered through a kiss, pouring her love and devotion for their family into the gesture. They then proceeded to their bedroom, where Andrea reassured Miranda "We know Miranda, and we all love you just as much."

The two women met in the middle of the bed, where Andrea snuggled up to Miranda and let out a happy sigh. She was reunited with the love of her life and all of their children were safely sleeping downstairs. Yes, there is no better way to fall asleep.
