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

Rated M for some well needed Mirandy time.

They spent the week exploring Chicago. They took the girls to the Field Museum and the Brookfield Zoo. They went shopping down Michigan Avenue.

They went into Mont Blanc at Miranda's request. She picked out a fountain pen for Andrea. When the clerk saw Miranda's name on the credit card Andy thought he was going to faint. All she could do was grin.

They went into La Perla and the girls immediately knew who was in their presence. Miranda walked around to all the showcased items, and it was not as good as she thought it should be, she pursed her lips. "Andréa we need to do an issue on how shops should not showcase their pieces."

They went to Prada where Miranda was ignored. How could anyone who worked for Prada not know Miranda?

"Andréa make sure you put in your article for Runway Miranda thought the place was obscene." Miranda glared at the girls.

As they walked out it finally dawned on them who Miranda was. Andy was laughing as they left.

Once out the door Miranda grabbed Andrea's arm and snickered. "That was fun."

Thanksgiving Day Andy's Brother his wife and Sister came home to meet Miranda and the girls.

Her sister Jenny hugged Andy tight and could not wait to see the ring. "OH MY GOD Andy it is beautiful."

Andy smiled. "Yea, I like it."

Jenny turned to Miranda and smiled. "I have to see yours too." Miranda held out her hand. "Oh wow Andy you did a good job."

Miranda smiled. "Yea, I like it." Andy giggled.

Jenny was so excited that Andy was getting married, "So when is the wedding? Where is it going to be? Have you picked out a dress yet?" Andy laughed.

Andy was laughing and smiling brightly, "God girl slow down. We will tell you all about it."

Andy's Brother was a bit more reserved about the whole thing.

Tom's wife just ignored him, "Don't worry about him Andy he will come around. Those two little girls will have him tied around their fingers before he knows it. Now sit and tell us about the wedding."

Andy and Miranda sat at the kitchen table as Andy relayed everything that had been planned so far. Her sister and sister-in-law oohed and ahed at everything.

Jana was in awe, "Central Park? Can you even get married in Central Park?"

Andy laughed and looked at Miranda, "If you are marring Miranda Priestly you can."

Jana's mouth hung open as she looked at Miranda than Andy.

Miranda just smiled through the whole thing.

"So tell us about the dresses!" Jenny begged.

Andy laughed. "No way Miranda and I will not know what the other one is wearing until the wedding, besides we haven't even seen them yet. Our first fitting isn't until December."

"So with you getting married in the park who will marry you?" Anna asked.

Andy looked stunned. She turned and looked at Miranda. "OH MY GOD, we have not even thought of that. Miranda what are we going to do?"

Miranda looked at Andréa confused. "Why Andréa I just thought my Brother Michael would do it."

Andy was puzzled. "Uhm how can he do that?"

Miranda laughed. "Did I not tell you Michael was a Priest? The church my family goes to. He is the Father."

Andy was speechless.

Jenny and Jana gasped. "Miranda Priestley's brother is a Catholic Priest?" They whispered in unison. Miranda nodded.

After they ate Jenna, Bonnie and Andy helped Anna clean up. Jana in the meantime sat with Miranda and chatted.

Bonnie leaned to Andy, "I wonder what they are talking about. I have never seen Miranda sit down with a virtual stranger and chit-chat."

Andy turned around and looked at the two women and smiled. "She really looks relaxed does she not?"

Anna came into the kitchen with the last of the dishes. "Miranda you have to see this."

Miranda looked at Anna with a raised eyebrow and stood up. Anna led her into the living room. Anna turned to Miranda and put her finger to her lips. "Shhhh."

What Miranda saw made her heart swell. Sitting on the couch was Richard at one end and Tom at the other. On Richards lap was Caroline asleep. In between Jim and Richard Cassidy was also asleep spread out in the open space between the two men head propped on Tom's lap. Tom had a protective arm wrapped around her. They were watching the football game. Miranda smiled and knew something had changed in her life.

Andy sneaked up behind the two women. "OH MY GOD that is so cute. Mom where is your camera. Miranda pulled her phone out of her pocket. "Here Andrea use this." The picture was recorded on Miranda's phone for her keeping. Andy handed the phone back to Miranda and kissed her on the cheek. Anna smiled she had never seen her daughter so happy.

The next day was the last day of the family's vacation.

When they got to the house late that morning Richard was beaming. "Have I got a surprise for you."

The girls were jumping up and down. "What is it Grandpa?"

"Come into the living room and see for yourself." Richard was grinning.

In the living room was a big white screen standing in front of the TV. On the other end of the room sat some kind of machine.

"What is it?" asked Caroline.

Andy laughed. "Daddy you got out the old movies!"

"Yep it is time to view the life of Andy." Richard exclaimed.

The girls looked at each other. "How?"

Miranda laughed. "Anna I hope you have plenty of popcorn, this is going to be an interesting afternoon. Girls we are going to the movies."

Andy groaned. The twins just rolled their eyes.

The movies started when Andy was a baby, showed all her dance recitals, softball games, and family holidays. The twins and Miranda were having the time of their life. Richard led the running commentary. Andy jumped in here and there to straighten out the commentary. The whole time Miranda and Andy sat hands entwined, by the end of the afternoon long cinema Andréa's was in Miranda's arms legs curled up underneath her with her head on Miranda's chest.

Cassidy turned to her Mother. "Do we have any movies of us?"

Miranda looked at the girls. "Your Father has videos. He took them a lot. When we had our divorce he insisted on keeping them. I left him so I could keep you with me. I guess I never thought of buying a camera after that. Your Father was always the one who filmed your life. I have still pictures but no videos of you. You father to this day videos all your piano recitals." Miranda smiled. "He even video taped your birth. I could have killed him for that."

The girls giggled. "Ewe."

"Has your Father never showed the videos to you?" Asked Andy. The girls shook their head. "You should ask him to watch them the next time you are with him."

That night Miranda and Andy were lying in each other's arms. Andy was giving Miranda a massage with kisses.

Andy tried to kiss Miranda on the lips but Miranda turned her head. "Please Andréa. I cannot do this now."

Andy looked up concerned. Miranda had never turned away from making love even if she was dead on her feet tired.

Andy smoothed the silver curl off Miranda's forehead and caressed her face. "Miranda? Talked to me babe. What is bothering you?"

Miranda frowned, "The girls seemed disappointed that I did not have any videos of them."

Andy did not say anything she just laid there waiting for Miranda to say more.

"Andréa what kind of a Mother am I?" Andy did not answer. "I did not think enough of them to keep their videos so they could see them. I never even thought about making videos after the divorce." Miranda's eyes were dark and dull, she was looking up to the ceiling attempting to stop the flow of tears.

"You let the girl's Father keep the videos so there would be no fight over custody. That is understandable. You did not need to make videos because their Father did. Miranda you are a great Mother. The girls adore you. Why do you doubt that?" Andrea caressed Miranda's face.

Miranda could not stop the tears and they fell. "I do not know. I have always been afraid of losing them. Their father thought I was crazy. I always wanted to make made sure they were happy and had a carefree life. I never wanted them to feel unloved and want to leave."

Andy wiped away the tears and held Miranda knowing this was another time she just need to let Miranda be. Miranda's past was hunting her.

Andy awoke before Miranda. She watched her love peacefully sleeping. She hoped Miranda had figured everything out last night and had come to terms with her fears.

Miranda's eyes fluttered open. "You are watching me sleep again."

Andy grinned. "Yes I haven't done this in a long time. You are so beautiful when you're asleep."

Miranda rolled her eyes. "Please Andréa."

Andy lean in to kiss Miranda. Miranda smiled into the kiss, accepting it, deepening it, probing Andréa's lips with her tongue. Their tongues made love to each other. Andy's hand roamed down Miranda's neck, and between her breasts. She could feel Miranda trembling underneath her. After all these months and it still affected her. Andy lowered herself down and positioned her mouth over Miranda's harden nipple. Miranda took in a deep breath as she felt Andréa's warm breath. Andy cupped Miranda's breast with her hand, and covered the nipple with her lips sucking it into her moist warm mouth. Miranda shuddered feeling the warm moisture flow from her body. Andy lavished attention to both of Miranda's breasts turning her body to liquid. Andy lowered her body farther down stopping at Miranda's scar, caressing it, kissing it. Miranda was moaning. Andy lowered herself farther, spread Miranda's folds and lavished her tongue on Miranda's hard clit sending her into a body racking orgasm.

Andy's parents saw the family off at the airport. It was not as hard to say good-bye this time as everyone knew they would get together again.

Anna and Caroline though could not hold back the tears as they clung to each other. Richard had to pry Anna's hands from Caroline and Miranda ended up carrying the child onto the plane.

Miranda took a deep breath as the plane landed. It was good to be back home. Roy was waiting with Doug to pick them up.

Miranda was shocked, "Douglas? What are you doing here?"

"I just thought Roy would need some help." He replied blushing.

Andy was laughing, "Yea."

Roy picked up the luggage and Doug went over to Bonnie. "How are you doing?" Bonnie blushed. "Let me help you out to the car."

Andy bumped up to Miranda. "Someone has a boyfriend." Miranda just smirked.
