I do not own DWP I am just using the characters for inspiration.
Just some Mirandy mush at the end of the chapter :).
On the ride back to South Queensferry Miranda announced she thought they should stop by Aunt Bonnie's and the girl's Grandmother.
The girls were quiet. "Mom do you really have a twin?" Cassidy enquired.
Miranda took a deep breath. Andy took Miranda's hand. "Yes I did, but girls she died when we were born. I never knew about her."
Caroline and Cassidy immediately grabbed each other's hand.
"I'm sorry Mommy." Came Caroline.
Miranda nodded. "I know Bobbsey it is sad but I am O.K."
"Is that what Grandmother told you yesterday?" Cassidy inquired.
"Yes," sighed Miranda.
Caroline let out a loud sigh,"Mommy this is all so confusing."
"I know Caroline, and I wish I could explain it all to you better. Just know I love you two and want to do what is best for you. I know you were so excited about having another Grandmother and if you want to see her it is O.K." Miranda was smiling sweetly.
Cassidy stared at her Mother. "Do you not want to see her Mom?"
"I do not know. It is all so very complicated." Miranda closed her eyes trying to stop the dam tears threatening to fall.
Andy finally spoke up. "I think what your Mother is trying to say is you should make up your own mind. Your Mother does not want to keep you from your Grandmother just because she does not have a good relationship with her."
Miranda opened her eyes,"Thank you Andréa, well put."
The car pulled up to Sarah and Bonnie's house. As the four climbed out of the car Bonnie came out of the house. "Miranda." She hugged her big sister. "I am so glad to see you." She went to the twins hugged and kissed them. "Hello Andy."
Andy nodded and smiled. "We thought we would stop for a visit. We just came from Foyers and are headed back to the castle."
Bonnie was all smiles so glad Miranda had indeed come back, "Come on in. There are a couple of women from the church visiting Mother I know they would love to meet you all."
Miranda hesitated. "Maybe we should not interrupt."
"Miranda, please." Bonnie was pleaded.
Miranda took a deep breath. Andy went over to her and took her hand and gave it a squeeze.
"O.K. but if the …" Miranda was seething.
"Miranda." Bonnie glared at her sister, than smiled at the girls, "Come girls your Grandmother has talk about nothing else since meeting you."
Miranda held Andy back. "I just need some time, stay out here with me. Please."
The two girls took Bonnie's hands and walked with her into the house. "Mother look who's here!"
Sarah turned in her chair and looked. "Ah my beautiful Granddaughters. Come give me a hug and meet my friends."
The girls ran over to their Grandmother and embraced her. Sarah introduced the girls to the women from the church. They sat and chatted easily with the older women.
"Our Mother and Andy are outside sitting at the picnic table." Caroline explained.
"Who is Andy?" Spoke one of the ladies.
Cassidy smiled brightly. "She is Mommy's partner. She lives with us."
The ladies were silent.
Caroline jumped up. "I'll go get them." She ran out the door and over to where Miranda and Andy were sitting. "Mom Grandma and her friends want to say hi." Caroline grabbed one of Miranda's hands and one of Andy's hands and pulled. "Come on."
"O.K. Bobbsey. I think I can get up on my own." Miranda rolled her eyes.
The three entered the house and Caroline ran over to her Grandmother and sat beside her.
Sarah smiled. "Miranda, Andy it's good to see you."
"Mother." Miranda nodded.
Andy smiled. "Nice to see you again too Sarah."
"Come meet a couple of women from the church who have helped take care of me while Bonnie has been in New York." As Sarah made the introductions Andy put on her megawatt smile.
"It is nice to meet you ladies." Andy replied politely.
Miranda just nodded at the women. Andy could feel Miranda shift and the temperature cool.
Andy hurriedly replied. "Sorry we cannot stay and chat but it has been a long few days. We have been sightseeing in Foyers and were just on our way back to our hotel and thought we would stop in and say hi."
The ladies nodded and one spoke up. "Maybe you can talk your Daughter, her girls, and their friend into coming to church on Sunday Sarah."
Miranda bristled.
"Oh Mommy can we? Please?" The girls chimed in.
Andy smiled at everyone. "We will have to see girls. We still have a lot to do here before we have to go back home. We will discuss it when we get back to the hotel O.K?"
The girls smiled and nodded.
"Say good-bye to your Aunt and Grandmother Bobbsey's. We need to be going. Mother." Miranda Nodded at Sarah turned around and walked out.
"Come on girls give Grandma and Bonnie a kiss. Goodbye Sarah, Bonnie." Andy gave Bonnie a hug and ushered the girls out.
"Mommy can we go to church with Grandma and Aunt Bonnie?" Caroline eagerly asked.
"Not now girls." Miranda took a deep breath and sighed.
"But Mom why not. Can we please?" Both girls whined in unison.
"Girls." Miranda wished she was back in New York.
"We're sorry Mom." The girls replied quietly.
Miranda closed her eyes, she knew how hard this all was for them. "Girls, please just let me think about it."
Back at the castle Andy helped the girls get unpacked and Miranda got on her laptop and looked at The Book. Well, so much for looking good what had everyone done in the past forty-eight hours? It seemed like it took her hours to relay the many mistakes that needed correcting. Maybe she was wrong about her plan after all.
"Andy is Mom O.K?" Caroline was sitting on one of the beds looking concerned.
Andy sat on the bed next to her and wrapped her arm around the tiny shoulders. "Your Mother has always wanted to be truthful to you so I will do the same. Your Mother is working through a lot of things. This trip has been difficult for her, but it was something she felt she needed to do. For the two of you and for her. Your Mother has had so much fun on this trip with the two of you. Just try and be patient with her and support her like she does us O.K?" The girls nodded. Andy kissed them good night. "I will send your Mother down to tuck you in.
"Andy we are too old to be tucked in!" The girls chimed in.
Andy laughed, "I know but your Mother still likes to do it."
When Andy walked into her bedroom Miranda was sitting at the small desk in the outer room. She had already removed the make-up she had on that day and was wrapped in her grey robe. Her head was in her hands, fingers massaging her temples. Andy smiled, thinking about how much she loved this woman, and that she would do anything for her to make her happy. She walked over to the love of her life and laid her hands on Miranda's shoulders and began to massage them. She bent down and kissed Miranda on the top of her head.
"I thought things were going good at Runway." Andy stated.
Miranda leaned her head back and moaned, "God that feels good." She rolled her head one way then the other. "It was until two days ago. I do not know what they were thinking with the new pages they sent me."
Andy grinned, Nigel and Emily were in for it. "Did you call them?"
"No, I just sent notes back with what should be done." Miranda stated.
Andy giggled. She bent and placed a kiss on Miranda's forehead.
"When was the last time I told you I love you?" Miranda purred.
Andy giggled "I think this afternoon. Speaking of which the girls are waiting for you to tuck them in."
"Mmmmmm," Miranda nodded, stood up turned to Andrea, and kissed her. "Do not go anywhere I will be back."
When Miranda returned to the room Andréa was nowhere in sight, before she could say anything Andy called out. "I'm in the bathroom come in."
Miranda walked in and there in front of her was Andréa sitting in the tub full of bubbles. All over the bathroom where flickering candles. Andréa's hair was tied up into a loose bun there were long wet curls framing her face. The swell of her breasts were just visible over the bubbles. On her face was her megawatt smile. "Come join me?"
Miranda smiled, "one second." Miranda left the room and grabbed the Pinot Noir and the two glasses she had sent up while waiting for Andréa to finish with the girls and slipped out of her robe.
Miranda walked back into the bathroom holding the bottle of wine in one hand and the two glasses in the other. She stood legs crossed, head slightly bent and looking at Andréa out through her eyelashes. Andréa sighed, but god the sight in front of her was intoxicating. Andy looked at Miranda, the beautiful alabaster skin, deep blue eyes, the soft sliver hair that curled over her left eye. Andy gazed down her body. The full soft lips, long thin neck that Andy loved to nibble on. Her gaze continued down over her shoulders and to her small but full breasts and rock hard nipples that just begged to be sucked on. Down her abdomen to the scar and tat that Andy just had to smile at. It was the most beautiful part of her. Andy's eye roamed over Miranda's hips and down her toned shapely legs to her gorgeous painted toe nails. God it could it not get any better. Her eyes follow the path back up to Miranda's eyes. Miranda was radiant in all the candle light. Miranda smiled, the smile only a few select people were privileged to see.
"Like what you see?" Miranda was enjoying the once over that Andrea was lavishing on her.
Miranda walked over to the tub sat the bottle on the floor and carefully climbed into the tub. Andy slid back to give her room to sit. Miranda slid down in between Andréa's legs and laid into her arms. She proceeded to pour them both some wine and handed a glass back to Andréa. Miranda sipped enjoying the liquid as it ran down the back of her throat. She laid her head back onto Andréa's shoulder and closed her eyes. Andy immediately close her legs around the soft body sitting in front of her. Her free hand caressed the shoulder and arm holding the glass of wine. Andy nuzzled at Miranda's neck and Miranda purred in return. Andy sat her glass down and wrapped her arms around the woman and pulled her close.
"I love you." Andy whispered into Miranda's ear.
The two took turns bathing each other and washing their hair. After the wine was gone and before they fell asleep in the tub they got out dried each other off and went to bed. They fell asleep curled into each other's arms, listening to their hearts beat and feeling the rise and fall of each other's chests.
