I do not own DWP I am just using the characters for inspiration.

Andy and Miranda had decided that Andréa should go alone to pick up her parents, get them settled into their hotel room, then bring them to the townhome. They would have dinner there that night. Miranda even suggested they invite Lily and Douglas to make her parents feel more comfortable.

Roy stood with Andy in baggage claim waiting for Andy's parents. Roy watched as Andy fidgeted. "It will be O.K. Once they see you and Miranda together they will know it is meant to be. And if that does not do it the girls will win them over."

Andy turned to Roy and smiled. "Thank you." She turned back to the door and saw her Mother and Father walking through. "Mom, Dad!" Andy ran up to them and into her Father's arms.

Richard, the person whom Andy got her height from, picked up his Daughter and twirled her around. "How is my baby girl?"

Andy had her megawatt smile on. "Oh Daddy, I am fantastic now that you and Mom are here." Richard sat his daughter down and she turned to embrace her Mother. "Hi Mom."

Anna hugged her Daughter then stepped back and looked at her. "Darling you are absolutely glowing, you look radiant." Anna had never seen her Daughter like this before.

Andy continued to smile. "It's because I am so happy Mom. Come show us which is your luggage. Roy will help us get it to the car."

"Roy? Who is Roy?" as her Mother looked around.

"He is Miranda's driver he will take us to your hotel and then to the townhome." Andy replied.

Richard and Anna looked at each other while Anna frowned. The woman was flaunting her wealth already and they had not even met her yet.

Andy was beaming, "Mom, Dad this is Roy. Roy meet my Mother and Father."

Roy bowed. "Nice to meet you. Andy has talked about you none stop all week."

Andy punched Roy in the arm. "I have not." Roy laughed as he enjoyed teasing Andy.

Anna scowled. "Is this the way you treat all of Miranda's hired help?" What had gotten into her girl acting as if she was never taught any manners.

"Mother!" Andy exclaimed. She could not believe her Mother was talking about Roy like some ordinary worker.

Roy smiled, "Andy I think she is talking about the punch in the arm."

"Mom, Dad, Roy is like part of the family. He has been Miranda's Driver for a long time. He is a good friend." Andy explained.

"This is true." Replied Roy. "Miranda, Andy, and the girls are like family. Andy won me over her first day on the job as I drove her on one of her many errands. I knew that first day I could trust her with Miranda."

Anna looked puzzled but did not comment. He might be able to trust her Andy with this Miranda person, but Anna did not trust Miranda with her child. Roy grabbed the luggage pointed out by Richard and with Richard's help piled it on the trolley. Than led the way out to the car. Anna gasped at the site of the limo.

Andy grinned. "Nice ride don't you think?"

Anna was afraid of this. Her Daughter had been swayed by Miranda's money.

At the hotel Andy sat on the bed watching her parents put away their stuff. She giggled to herself at the thought of what Miranda would say as once again Andy called clothing "stuff".

Richard turned around. "Something funny?"

Andy looked at her Father shyly. "I was just thinking of something Miranda told me once. So … uhm … have you guys noticed anything different about me?" Andy waved her left hand around in front of her face.

Anna gasped again. "Is that what I think it is?"

Andy grinned even brighter. "I am engaged."

Anna did not say anything she just sat down.

"Well, when did this happen?" Asked Richard.

"About a month ago." Andy whispered as she fiddled with her ring.

Anna spoke up. "And you did not think to let us know sooner?"

Andy hung her head and spoke quietly. "I was afraid of what you might say." It was very quiet in the room. Andy than looked up at first her Mother than her Father. "Mom. Dad. Please. Please keep an open mind. When you meet Miranda you will see how wonderful she is."

"Wonderful? The Dragon Lady/Ice Queen wonderful? After the way she treated you?" Anna exclaimed.

Andy took a deep breath. "Yes she was hard on me, but she didn't ask anything of me that she did not think I couldn't do."

Richard spoke up. "Oh yea, like making you find a flight out of a hurricane is possible to achieve?"

"Well, that one, but it was because she was so desperate to get back for her girls. Would you or Mom not do the same thing for me, Tom, or Jenny? Please give her a chance. I have never been so happy. I have dreamed of having someone to love me like she does. I know you never thought and I never thought it would be a woman." Andy pleaded.

"An older woman." Came from Anna.

"Would you feel differently if it was an older man?" Andy threatened.

Anna thought for a moment. "Probably not. And I would feel the same way if it was an older male boss."

"Mom, I can't help who I fell in love with. Are you not happy I have found someone to love me the way Daddy loves you?" Andy brought forth.

Anna sat down next to Andy. "Yes but I still have my reservations."

Andy put her arm around her Mother's shoulder. "Mom, I know this must be hard for you to understand. Please trust my instincts. You raised me well. You and Dad always taught me to trust my gut and I am. Besides with me marrying Miranda you become instant Grandparents to two wonderful girls."

"I was hoping to be a grandparent to your children." Anna frowned.

Andy grinned. "You will be able to." Anna stared at Andy. "Miranda and I want to have more children. I want to have a child." Andy grinned at her Mother. "There are many ways for a woman to get pregnant now a days."

Anna was shocked, "Miranda has agreed to this?"

Andy ended, "Yes of course Mother she is the one who suggested it. She knew I would want to and she brought it up. She is very happy about the idea."

Anna wonder what Miranda had on her mind to encourage Andy to have a baby.
