I do not own DWPI have just borrowed the characters for inspiration.

Rated M for some strong Mirandy time.

Anne came over to Miranda before putting her equipment away. "Sorry I ran out of time today. Serena has agreed to bring Isabella back in tomorrow so I can shoot her. I really like what you are doing here Miranda and I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to be the photographer. I have never done something for a magazine on such a big scale before."

Miranda nodded. "It is understandable working with infants. I want only the best and I do not believe in rushing it. You are the best with infants and children I only deal with the best."

"I was thinking we should have a couple of older children. I could shoot them and if you decide not to use them that would be fine." Anne looked questioningly.

Miranda ran a finger over her bottom lip. "I would agree to that only we do not have any older children, and I do not know if we could find suitable ones in time."

Patricia was walking by the two women and overheard the conversation and she stopped. "Why not use your girls Miranda they are beautiful and would be perfect."

The room got silent and Miranda turned and glared at the girl. Patricia went white.

"Miranda you have girls? How old?" Anne excitedly asked.

Miranda looked at Anne. "Ten, but I do not expose them to all of this. No one has ever photographed them and published the picture without feeling my wrath." Miranda was seething.

Patricia backed away. "Sorry Miranda, I did not …"

Miranda glared at the girl again. Patricia practically ran out of the room.

Miranda took a deep breath and turned back toward Anne. "If we are able to find girls or boys of that age you may photograph them and we will consider them for the issue." Miranda said shortly.

"I understand you wanting to keep the girls secure and protected. What better way than in your own magazine? You could even change their names if that would help." Continued Anne.

"Nigel." Nigel cautiously moved over closer to Miranda. "Take care of this." Miranda walked out.

Miranda was shaking. Put her girls on display? Never!

Miranda walked into the townhome shortly after Andy did. She was in the living room with the girls playing video games. Miranda relax a bit with the scene playing out in front of her.

"Mom," the girls shouted! They ran over to their Mother and hugged her.

She bent down and kissed them both on the head. "Have you girls done your homework yet?"

They lowered their head. "No."

Miranda grinned. "What do we do before we play video games?"

"Our homework." The girls recited in unison.

"Now go upstairs and get it done before we eat." Miranda said sternly, but with a smile.

"Yes Mom." She playfully slapped them on their behinds as they ran out of the room.

Miranda went over and sat down on the couch. Laid her head back and closed her eyes.

"Bad day? I thought the shoot went really well." Andy smoothly said as she stroked Miranda's arm.

Miranda sighed. "She wants to shoot the girls."

Andy sat up. "Anne Geddes want to shoot Cassidy and Caroline? For the April shoot?" Miranda nodded. "I thought you had never meet her before."

"I haven't." Groaned Miranda

"I know your life is public but I did not realize she knew that you had children." Andréa was still shocked.

"She didn't." Miranda turned her face and looked at Andréa.

"Then how did she know." Andréa frowned.

Miranda closed her eyes again and flipped a hand in the air. "That new girl told her … she suggested it."

Andy took a deep breath in. "Is she dead?" Miranda opened her eyes and glared at Andréa. Andy giggled. "Well?"

"No I let her live this time." Miranda stated exacerbated.

"So are you going to let them? You know they would jump at the chance. Especially if they can be with Isabella." Andréa edged on.

Miranda glared at her love. Andy smiled. She took Miranda's hand and kissed her palm, then her wrist, elbow. "You know it would not be any different from what you asked Jennifer, Kate, and Mamie to do."

"O.K. just stop." Miranda groaned.

Andy laughed. "So?"

"So what?" Miranda acted as if she had no idea what they had been talking about.

"What are you going to do?" Andréa teased.

"I said no. That's what I am going to do." Miranda announced.

"O.K" Andréa kissed Miranda softly on the lips.

"Stop it I know what you are trying to do and it is not going to work." Miranda hissed.

Andy smiled. "What am I trying to do?"

Miranda groaned.

Andy straddled Miranda's lap and laid into her. "Maybe I just want to shower my lover with kisses." She kissed Miranda's eyes, nose, and her lips.

Miranda moaned again. "God what you do to me."

Andy rubbed her cheek up against Miranda's. "What do I do to you? Miranda. Tell me."

Miranda rested her hands on Andréa's hips, looked her in the eye, and pulled her closer. "Kiss me again." Andréa obliged. "Mmmmm." Miranda purred.

"You know if you want to take this any further we should go upstairs." Andy nuzzled into Miranda's neck, giving her a tiny love bite.'

Miranda shook her head. "No just stay here. I do not think I can move."

Andy laid her head on Miranda's shoulder and felt her breathe and listened to her heart beat.

"Mom! Andy! Please children present." The girls said in unison.

"Children who should be doing their homework." Miranda growled.

"We're all done." Cassidy announced.

Andy had turned her head and she just laid there cuddled into Miranda smiling. "I am stuck here. Can't get up."

"Ugh!" The girls went over and they each took one of Andy's arms and pulled her off Miranda right onto the floor.

"Owe." Andy was rubbing her butt.

The girls were laughing hysterically.

Miranda took a deep breath, "Girls have a seat I have something to discuss with you."

"I didn't do it!" Offered Cassidy.

Miranda raised an eyebrow at her. "What did you not do?"

"I don't know what ever it is you're mad at us about."

Andy giggled and wiggled her eyebrows at Miranda.

"I am not mad at you about anything." Miranda glared at Andréa.

"That's good." Breathed Cassidy.

Miranda turned her attention to the girl and glared at her, "Cassidy!"

"Sorry Mom." Cassidy hung her head.

Miranda started out slow, "You know Runway is planning a children's issue and we are shooting now for it."

"Yes, Isabella is in it." Replied Caroline.

Miranda nodded, "Yes, she is. How would the two of you like to be in the shoot with her?"

The girls sat in utter silence.

"OH MY GOD Miranda you figured out how to shut them up." Andréa stated laughing.

Cassidy punched Andy in the arm.

"Owe." Andy was rubbing her arm.

"Cassidy!" Miranda hissed exacerbated.

"Sorry Andy. Really Mom you would let us have our picture in the magazine?" Cassidy questioned.

"Yes this one time, and only in Runway." Miranda stated.

"Yea!" they shouted together.

Miranda groaned. Andy smiled.

That night as they laid in bed Miranda ran her fingers through Andréa's hair. Andy laid her head on Miranda's chest. While Miranda re-laid the day's events about Irv, Meryl and Nigel.

Andy could not stop laughing and tears were streaming down her face. "Stop Miranda, stop. My side is hurting."

Miranda snickered. "Serves you right for helping to corrupt my children."

Andy grinned.

After they settled Andy looked up at Miranda.

Miranda smiled at her love, "What is it sweetheart?"

Andréa was biting her lower lip, "There is something I want to discuss with you."

"Go ahead." Miranda replied quietly.

Andréa frowned, "It may seem silly or weird."

This caught Miranda's attention fully. "I doubt that, it sounds serious to me."

Andy smiled and cuddled closer to Miranda. Miranda held her protectively.

"It is about the donor for our baby." Andréa said simply.

"You have decided on one of them?" Miranda questioned.

"Well, I have a donor in mind." Andy was nervous and Miranda could sense it.

"Which one is it?" Miranda questioned.

Andy took a deep breath. "It's not someone from the file Dr. Edwards gave us." There was a pause.

Miranda leaned back from Andréa. "Go on."

Andy bit her lower lip. "I really wish our baby could be part of me and part of you."

Miranda was puzzled. "Darling unless some new scientific experiment has come up that is impossible."

Andy bit her lip again. "Not totally."

Miranda took a deep breath, "Andréa you have completely lost me."

Andréa very quietly stated, "I was wondering if maybe … Maybe we could ask … ask your Brother to be the donor?"

Andy closed her eyes tight and waited for the Dragon to set her on fire. The room was so quiet Andy had to peek out of just one eye. Miranda was still, not moving, and stunned.

"Miranda, Miranda please say something." Andréa pleaded.

Miranda looked at her and blinked. "I do not think I heard you right."

Andy tried to smile. "I think you did."

Miranda looked at Andrea in amazement. "You want to ask my Brother, a Catholic priest to be the sperm donor for our child?"

Andréa nodded. "Yes, then it will be a part of you and me." Andy was talking fast now she was so nervous. "He is coming here two weeks before the wedding. We could do it then and freeze the rest."

Miranda stared. "You want to freeze my Brothers sperm?"

Andréa nodded. Miranda stood up and went over to stand in front of the window. After a few minutes she turned to Andréa.

Andréa sat straight up in bed. "Look Miranda, just forget I brought it up. I'm sorry. I told you it was weird, stupid." Miranda started pacing. "Miranda please, come back to bed."

Andy was becoming very scared and Miranda heard it in her voice. "You would really want to do this?" Andy stared at Miranda not knowing what to say. "Andréa, I asked you a question."

"Miranda, I just wanted a child that was part you, part me. A child that was truly ours. I'm sorry if I offended you." Miranda shook her head, and her eyes started to tear. "Miranda please. I am sorry."

Miranda shook her head. "No. I cannot believe you would do this for me." Miranda said in a low whisper.

Andy stared, shocked. She wondered did I hear her right? Miranda looked and waited.

"Miranda I would do anything for you, for us. I want us to have our baby."

Miranda nodded and turned to the window again. After a few minutes Miranda spoke. "You know my history with my family. You know I am a bit older than Michael and Bonnie. For whatever reason the two of them always looked up to me." Miranda took a deep breath and shrugged. "Despite our upbringing we always looked out for each other, did whatever we could for each other." Miranda wiped a tear off her face. "Even after I left." She turned and looked out the window again.

Andy quietly inched out of bed and walked up behind Miranda. "Miranda." Andy wrapped her arms around the lady in front of her.

Miranda laid back into her. "What did I ever do to deserve you? How did I ever find you?"

"It's simple Miranda, I have told you before you loved me." Andréa simply stated.

Miranda sniffled, "I would like to ask Michael if he would do this for us."

Andy smiled, and whispered into Miranda's ear, "come back to bed with me."

Andréa lead Miranda over to the bed and laid her down. Andréa crawled in beside Miranda and trailed her fingers down Miranda's body making her shiver. "You are so beautiful. I love the way you skin shines." Andréa smiled, "And the way you blush."

Miranda groaned closing her eyes. Andréa molded a hand around Miranda's pale globe, the nipple rock hard. Miranda caught her breath as Andréa flicked one of her fingers over it. "Andréa."

Andréa smiled wickedly, "Feel good Miranda?" Andréa leaned in and took the nipple in her mouth and feasted on it.

"Andréa, more please." Andréa grinned and thought for a second than grazed her teeth over the nipple as she pulled away.

"Oh My God, yes." Miranda screamed.

Andréa turned and started feasting on the other breast as her other hand slid down Miranda's abdomen and over the soaking wet dark curls. Miranda was breathing quickly. Andréa gently grazed the nipple as she pulled away again. Miranda screamed, "yes," again. Andréa was enjoying this.

"You like that Miranda?"

Miranda nodded. Andréa went back to the nipple and ran her teeth over it. She could feel the response in Miranda and she could tell Miranda was flying over the edge.

Andréa edged up to Miranda's lips and kissed her softly, "shhh, slow down Babe, take it easy. I am not finished with you yet."

Miranda groaned and twisted under Andréa's body. This was driving Andréa crazy. Miranda's reaction. Andy smiled and slid down Miranda's body trailing her nails softly along. Miranda groaned and trembled. Andréa positioned herself between Miranda's toned thighs and took pleasure at inhaling Miranda's sent and thought she would pass out it was so intoxicating. Andréa kissed along both of Miranda's thighs and left hot breathes over her wet curls.

Miranda did not know what was happening to her. All her senses were heightened. She thought she would explode.

Andréa ran her fingers through Miranda's silky folds, and parted them. She blew her hot breath on Miranda's sensitive clit. She felt Miranda arch and the warm thick liquid run over her fingers and onto Miranda's buttocks. Andréa closed her eyes and tried to slow her breathing. The way things were going she was going to cum and she did not want that not now.

Once Andréa was able to calm herself, she inserted three of her slippery fingers into Miranda and rubbed the spot on Miranda's upper wall.

"Andréa, please, please finish it, I can't ..." Miranda said huskily.

"O.K. Miranda, almost ..."

Andréa took her lips and surrounded Miranda's clit as Miranda's orgasm built Andréa grazed her teeth over it.

Miranda exploded and Andréa came with her. Andréa had Miranda's spray all over her cheeks and chin.

Miranda was breathing deeply. Andréa laid her head on Miranda's thigh. The two laid there for what seemed like hours.

Miranda stirred, "Andréa."

"Mmmmm, yes Babe."

"Are we still alive?"

Andra laughed, "I hope so, because I want to do that again."

"God Andréa!"

Straight off the elevator Miranda shot off her list. "Make sure the designers for the April issue have pieces that will fit the girls. Call Serena and tell her to have Isabella here at nine. Call Anne and tell her the shoot starts at nine and the girls will be here. She needs to be done by noon so the girls can go back to school this afternoon. Where is my coffee?" She walked into her inner office and closed the door.

There was a knock. Miranda tried to ignore it. It came again.

"Enter."

"Miranda did I hear John right?" Nigel was standing at the door rubbing his bald head.

Miranda glared. She got up, and stuck her head out the door. "If my coffee is not here in five seconds just tell her to go straight to HR."

At that moment the second assistance raced through the door coming to a quick stop right in front of Miranda. Miranda glared then held out her hand. The assistance placed the cup in her hand and Miranda shut the door.

Miranda turned to Nigel. "The girls want to do it. They are older now and understand more. It will only be for Runway. I still stand on the ground that if anyone takes pictures of my girls and publishes them somewhere else I will go for their throat."

Nigel raised an eyebrow, "You do not seem so sure of that."

Miranda went over to the window and gazed outside. "They are growing way to fast Nigel." She turned around. "I cannot keep them locked up in my safe little world their entire life. I am proof of that."

Nigel smiled, "You have raised them to be strong intelligent young ladies, you should be proud to show them off."

"I just do not want them to get hurt." Miranda thought she was going to cry.

"Hurt comes with life. You know that Miranda. No one can protect them from it." Nigel tried.

"Momma, Momma." Two wild red heads came running in the door.

Kara followed close behind. "I am sorry Miranda I just can't get them to calm down."

Miranda was laughing. "It is O.K. Kara. We have an exciting morning ahead of us do we not?"

"Yea!" The twins screamed.

"Now when you start the shoot it is very important to listen to Anne and do as she says. Isabella is a baby so we have to do things quick. If you do not do as you are told there will be no other photo shoots do you understand?"

"Yes Mom." The girls said in unison.

"O.K. I am going to text Andrea that you are here and she will meet us in the studio. Let's go." Miranda placed a hand on the girls backs.

Once in the studio Miranda introduced the girls to Anne.

"Miranda they are gorgeous, I am so glad you agreed to this. Their pictures will fit in fantastically with the others." Anne gushed.

Miranda sent the twins off with Nigel to get dressed and made up. Andréa and Serena with Isabella came through the door at the same time.

Serena handed the baby over to Miranda. "She should be waking up any time now."

Miranda cradled the small child in her arms she just glowed. Andy was so excited to see Miranda take to the infant so easily, she smiled. The adults all sat back and left everything to Anne and her assistances. The twins did everything as they were told. The shoot went very well and they were soon done.

Andy went over to Anne and whispered in her ear.

Anne nodded. "My pleasure."

Andy went over to Miranda. "You should have some pictures taken of you and the girls. I have already asked Anne and she has agreed to do them."

Miranda shook her head, "I do not think so."

The girls overheard Andy. "Oh Mommy will you? Please? It would be so much fun."

Miranda could not turn them down, she nodded.

Andy turned toward Nigel. "I have the perfect pieces. Come Miranda."

The shoot with Miranda and the girls was beautiful. Never before had Nigel seen the Dragon Lady so free and light. She had actually played with the girls and showed the loveliest real smile.

He could not wait to see the proofs. He went over to Anne, "I will need the proofs by tonight."

She nodded.

"Girls get changed and we will go to lunch before taking you back to school. You both did a fabulous job."

That night at home the girls were still on cloud nine from the shoot. As Miranda tucked them into bed she once again told them how proud she was with the job they did that morning.

"It was fun Mommy." Caroline interjected as she hugged her tight.

"Yes it was Bobbsey." Miranda smiled sweetly.
