I do not own DWP I am just borrowing the characters for inspiration.
Thanks to .5 I learned somehow the chapters to my story up loaded in the wrong order. Thanks so much for that! Except now I am frustrated because I wanted the story of Serena's delivery to be a bit of a surprise. Oh well. So I have tried to reload and I hope they stay in order now. Keep sending the comments as you can see I need the help! :))) lol no wonder I was a bit confused by some of your comments about this chapter.
Short but so sweet.
The day Miranda was to finalize the January issue she sat in her office. She had to admit she was nervous. A new designer. Teenage clothing. Edgy clothing. It was going to be a risk. She did not want to lose the ground she had gained over Irv in the past months.
She jumped as her phone buzzed. She picked it up, a message from Andrea. "Send it already. It is magnificent! I love you."
Miranda smiled, and relaxed immediately. "Corinne." The second assistant came running into the office. Miranda handed over The Book. "Take it."
Miranda reached for her coffee and took a sip, "and bring me hot coffee." She sighed.
New Year's Eve Doug came to pick-up Bonnie. She wore a beautiful short dark green cocktail dress with sheer sleeves. Doug was stunned. He handed her a bouquet of wild roses. When she smiled up at him he knew this was it. He leaned in to kiss her softly on the lips.
"Ewwww." They heard two tiny voices. "Aunt Bonnie likes Doug."
Bonnie turned around and looked up the stairs laughing. "You two little sneaks." Doug laughed as he took Bonnie's coat and helped her on with it.
Andy was finishing up getting ready for Nigel's party when Miranda walked in and stood behind her. Miranda smiled into the mirror.
Andy looked up. "What?"
"I just cannot believe how much my life has changed in the last year, and it is all because of you." Andy leaned back into Miranda as she wrapped her arms around Andréa's waist.
Andy pulled Miranda's arms tighter. "I love you."
Miranda nuzzled Andréa's neck giving her sweet kisses. "Let's go you are beautiful enough."
Andrea laughed.
When Miranda and Andy arrived at Nigel's there defiantly was a change in the air. The Ice Queen had arrived. Andy just smiled through it all. Miranda may be the Ice Queen but she still held Andy's hand, and all she had to do is look at Andrea and Andy saw the real Miranda. Nigel brought the women in and made the rounds with them.
"Nigel, I love your place!" Andy exclaimed.
Nigel grinned "Thanks Six. Oh by the way your dresses are going to be ready for your second fitting February twenty-seventh. Miranda I will have your Mother's dress also. She can come by any time for her fitting. Also Six your families fitting will be February twenty-third."
"Nigel, I do not know how you are doing this." Andy exclaimed.
"Six I live this. This show the two of you are putting on in May has been one of the easiest I have done."
Andy put on her megawatt smile and hugged Nigel. "Thank you for everything."
Nigel grinned, "I am not finished yet."
Andy looked at Miranda. "What is he talking about?" Miranda shook her head.
Nigel directed everyone's attention to where he was standing. The large sliding glass doors that led out to his patio showed bright dark skies and candles alight everywhere. "O.K. I know this is probably corny to everyone but there has been too many connections made at Runway this year not to do this. So if you will count with me. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one!"
Andy turned to Miranda and wiggled her eyebrows. Miranda smiled and leaned in placing the softest of kisses on her lips. Miranda rolled her eyes, the silly things did for her love.
Serena leaned down taking Emily into her arms and planted a fiery kiss on her lips. Emily broke away and caressed Serena's belly.
Andy smiled and motioned for Miranda to look at Emily and Serena.
Miranda whispered into Andréa's ear. "That will be us soon, I promise."
To everyone's surprise Nigel grabbed John and planted a kiss on him that was returned whole heartedly.
Doug smiled at Bonnie, took her in his arms, and simply stated, "I love you." Then kissed her with a warmth and love that Bonnie had never felt before.
"O.K. everyone I have one more surprise." Nigel was motioning for everyone's attention. "Douglas where are you? Come up here."
Doug looked around shocked. He went up to Nigel and Nigel whispered in his ear. Doug nodded.
"Most of you do not know Doug but he is a good friend of Six's and he has something he wants to say." Uhm, Bonnie, you need come here too. This is Bonnie Miranda's sister. I just want to say with everything going on around here lately this is very fitting."
Nigel stepped back and Doug took Bonnie's hand. "I just want you to know the first time I met you, you took my breath away. You are everything I have ever wanted and all I have ever dreamed of." Doug removed something from his pocket and knelt. The room gasped. "Please Bonnie will you marry me?" Doug held out a very simple beautiful solitaire diamond ring.
Bonnie stopped breathing, and started to shake. "Doug …" Doug was smiling brightly. "Yes." The room cheered as Doug slipped the ring on Bonnie's finger.
Andy turned to Miranda and saw tears in her eyes. She squeezed Miranda's hand and when Miranda looked at her Andréa smiled.
