Chapter 6
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andy stood from her chair in the waiting room and started to walk back towards Miranda’s hospital room .Andy stopped walking when her cell phone started to ring She looked down and sighed, it was her mother. She really didn’t have time or the energy to hear her mother to start in on her again about working for the “Devil ”.with a sigh Andy answered her cell phone.
“ Hello mother. How are you doing today ?”
Andy’s mother started in with the same old tired speech that she had heard for over the last two years .
“Hello, Andrea, are you alright ? Your father and I both knew something like this would happen one day. your father and I will be on the first plane to New York this evening. then we will bring you home and you will never have to see that ‘devil woman’ again .”
Andy sighed and turned around and walked back in to the waiting room and shut the door and walked over to a chair and sat down let her head fall back against the wall.
“ Mom I am fine . And no, you and daddy won’t need to come to New York this evening. Also thanks for asking about Miranda and the twins. they are safe and they will recover from the nightmare they went through last night .”
Andy rolled her eyes as her mother started up yet again.
“ Mom, I really don’t have the time to listen your rant about my job or my life.”
Andy heard her mother gasp.
“Young lady you will not speak to me that way. I am you mother.” Andy sighed and shook her head .
“Yes, you are my mother, but you will not tell me how to run my life and I will not tell you how to live yours. I have a job that I like. I made the choice to stay at runway .I am an adult .I will live with my mistakes and learn from them. Goodbye mother and don’t bother to call me again .If all you’re going to do every time is tell me, how I have made a mess of my life. It is my life to live not yours .’’
Andy hung up and hit the power button and turned the phone off and closed her eyes. she hated to argue with her mother. Andy sighed her parents still hadn’t learned that she was an adult and not their little girl.
They couldn’t seem to understand that she wanted more out of life then what they had planned for her. She wanted a career. When she first came to New York fresh out of college .She had thought that she wanted to be a reporter working for a newspaper. But after working at runway for the last two years. she found that she didn’t want to be a reporter like she had when she first came to New York.
She had seen the inner workings of the magazine. She still wrote article’s for some of the small papers and magazines in her free time. she was happy working for Runway.
Andy knew the reason was because she couldn’t see leaving Miranda .her heart wouldn’t let her. But she knew one day Miranda would ask her to come in to her office and she would leave runway to go on at a new career. But it wouldn’t be today. She wouldn’t have thought that in less than twenty- four hours her life would have changed so much, but that didn’t matter she would still do what she could to help Miranda and the twins.
Andy sighed and put her cell phone back in her purse and started back toward Miranda’s room she hoped the doctor had finished with the test. she needed to tell Miranda that Irv had canceled the press conference. It seemed the board was making a stand. It’s about time Andy thought. They had let Irv get away with far too much over the last few years . It was time for a change .
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andy walked down the hall and waved at the guard sitting outside of the Miranda’s room. Andy knocked on the door. She heard a quiet come in. Andy pushed the door open and looked over to see that the doctor was still in the room with Miranda. Andy started to turn around and leave but was stopped by Miranda voice.
“ Andréa , you may stay if you like. The doctor was just going to start the ultrasound .”
Miranda then gestured for Andy to come and stand next to her bed. Andy slowly walked over and stood next to the hospital bed. She felt awkward staying in the room. It wasn’t everyday you got to see the Miranda priestly have an ultrasound done .
Dr. Chesterfield was busy setting the ultrasound machine up. Dr. Chesterfield looked over toward Andy and smiled.
“ Mrs. priestly I am going to need you to pull your blanket down and you will need to pull your gown up so that I can have access to your stomach during the ultrasound .”
Andy blushed and turned away.
Miranda smirked and cleared her throat.
“ Andréa you can turn around now.”
Dr. Chesterfield tried to keep the smile off of her face it wouldn’t do to upset her patient
. “Mrs. Priestly the gel that I will be using will be cold at first .”
Miranda nodded her head and the doctor started to run the wand over her stomach . The doctor found the baby’s heartbeat. Miranda turned and looked over toward Andrea and watched as she smile and looked at the monitor.
The doctor turned and looked at Miranda and then Andy and smiled.
“Congratulation Mrs. priestly you are in fact pregnant .”
Miranda sighed and closed her eyes and lay back in her bed .
“ Dr. chesterfield . Do you have any idea how far along I may be ?”
Dr. Chesterfield turned and smiled .
” From what I have seen from this ultrasound I would say that you are about seven weeks pregnant. Have you had any sighs of morning sickness?”
Miranda turned and looked over toward the monitor .
“No. I haven’t. I have been rather busy with getting ready for London fashion week . That is in less than three days . I haven’t had any of the signs that I had when I was pregnant with the twins. “
Miranda sighed and closed her eyes .
” When I was pregnant with the twins, I was sick almost from the very beginning of my pregnancy.”
The doctor nodded her head .
“ Well it could be from the stress you have been under or you may be one of the luck few that don’t suffer from morning sickness. But each pregnancy is different. But I can’t say for sure that it won’t start at some point.”
Miranda nodded her head. She understood but she hoped she was one the lucky few that didn’t suffer from morning sickness .She remembered what it was like when she was pregnant with the twins . She hated to be sick.
“ Thank you Dr. Chesterfield.”
Dr. Chesterfield picked up Miranda’s chart.
“ I would like to see you again in two weeks. I want to check on you and the baby. You have been through a rather stressful incident in the last two day and I want to check and make sure everything is okay with both you and the baby. You should try and take it easy and try to keep your stress level down it would be best for you and the baby. I will leave a care sheet for you to look over. but if you need anything please feel free to call and I will answer any and all of you question.”
The doctor smiled.
“Thank you doctor I will try.“
Miranda turned and looked over toward Andrea who took the care sheet and took the chair closest to the bed. The doctor turned and gathered her things and left the room.
“Andréa are you feeling alright ?”
Andy turned and looked at Miranda With a goofy smile on her face.
“Yes. I am fine. That was the first time I have heard a baby’s heartbeat before .”
Miranda smiled and sat back with her eyes closed .
“ Yes, it is a wonderful thing to hear. I just wish it was under different circumstances.”
Andy sat back and took a deep breath and nodded her head in agreement.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miranda sighed and looked over toward Andrea .
“Andrea , do you know what is so funny about all of this? Stephen didn’t even want children . He never tried to get to know Caroline or Cassidy. Even with everything going on, I am happy knowing I will have another child even if it is Stephen’s child . I have always wanted more children. I just never thought I would have another child this late in life. With my work schedule I never would have another other child. I just never thought it would happen like this.”
Miranda sat back and ran her hands through her hair. Andy didn’t know what to say so she nodded her head in agreement. They sat in silence. They were both lost in their own thoughts.
Andy stood and walked over to the coach and took her phone out of her purse and turned on her cell phone. She checked her text messages. After Andy responded to her messages she looked over toward Miranda, who was still lay back in bed with her eyes closed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The door opened and broke the silence that had settled in the room. The nurse walked in to check Miranda’ s Iv line and check her blood pressure.
‘’Mrs. priestly your lunch will be served in an hour. If you need anything please just let us know.”
Miranda nodded her head.
“ Thank you. I will let you know or Andrea will.”
The nurse nodded and walked out of the room. Miranda turned and looked over toward Andrea. She watched as Andrea worked on sending out e-mails and getting the travel arrangements ready for Nigel and his team that would be traveling to London. Miranda closed her eyes. Life always had away of changing even when you tried to keep it on a set path. She sighed and pulled the blanket up closer and drifted off to sleep.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andy looked up and sat back and looked over toward her Miranda and watched her as she slept. It all seemed so real now that she had heard the baby’s heartbeat. She knew she had to find away to keep Miranda’s stress level down while they were at work. Lesley had sent her an e-mail that she had the press under control. Well that was one good thing . Andy knew that Miranda was going to have to call and talk to her attorney .but today she need to rest . Tomorrow they would be going to the hotel.
Andy checked her e-mail again and sent a reminder to Nigel that Miranda wanted to see him this afternoon. Andy had gone through her and Miranda e-mail to weed out the unimportant e-mail from the press and designer that wanted to know how Miranda was doing after the attack. She wanted to make things as easy for Miranda as she could .
Andy stood and put her laptop back in her bag .
Andy walked over and stood next to Miranda’s bed and reached over and brushed a lock of Miranda’s hair that covered her eyes and kissed her lightly on her forehead. Andy turned and grabbed her purse and head out the door to make a few more call to get everything ready.
She knew that later this evening, when the girls and Nigel came it was going to be hectic. Andy walked over towards the door. She stopped and looked at her boss and sighed and walked out the door towards the waiting area to make her calls and get a hot cup of coffee. She wanted Miranda to get as much rest as she could . But first she wanted to check with the nurse about Miranda’s lunch. She knew that Miranda was picky when it came to her food and thought it might be best to have Roy pick her something else up beside hospital food.
