Exploring the Past and Living the Present

by mlgummer

Once again I have to add Family as a third Genres because it plays such an important part in this story. Sequel to The Beginning of an Exploration. More information comes out about Miranda's past and how it has shaped her present life. Mirandy grows and we see that the Dragon Lady/Ice Queen does not always rule. She is just what most people expect and hence what they see.

47. Thanks Michael

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

Short but sweet.

Five weeks before the wedding Andy started fertility injections, and Miranda had been instructed on how to give them. Just before sticking Andréa Miranda would joke on how this was the highlight of her day. To which Andy would scowl. Miranda would always make it all better as she kissed the spot that got the shot that night.

Two weeks before the wedding Michael arrived in New York. Miranda and Andy meet him at the airport. Every time Andy would look at him she would blush knowing what he would be doing for her and Miranda.

"Please Andréa relax. There is nothing for you to be embarrassed about. What I am doing is out of love for my Sister, and hence you, and my future niece or nephew."

Andy smiled. "I cannot thank you enough Michael."

The next morning the three of them went to Andréa's fertility doctor's office. It was a first for the office and Michael tried to put them all at ease. "God loves all his children no matter how they come into this world or into a family."

This seemed to help. As Michael was giving his donation Andy was being readied for the transplant. Miranda stayed by her side the entire time. The transplant itself went fairly easy and Miranda made sure to kiss Andréa at the time the sperm were released into her body. Andy was euphoric, relaxed and content. She was to lay flat on her back for an hour after the procedure, but trying to keep her occupied during the time was enough to test Miranda's strength.

During the next two weeks Miranda caudled Andréa. She refused to make love scared they would interfere with Andy's body excepting a fertilized egg. Andy kept teasing her that it was ridiculous, but Miranda did not care. She was going to do everything she could to ensure Andréa would have the child she so desperately wanted. The idea of having to wait until after the wedding to find out if Andréa did become pregnant was torture of the utmost.
