By the time they made it back to the cabin the girls were exhausted and they collapsed down on the couch straight away.
Both women smiled down at them before Miranda turned and walked into the kitchen to get started on dinner, she had decided that she was going to make lasagne.
"Did you want some help?" Andy asked as she entered the kitchen and watched Miranda.
Miranda looked up at her. "You can grate some cheese if you like. It's in the top of the fridge and the grater is in the cupboard down there." she said pointing behind her.
"Alright." Andy nodded as she walked over to the fridge and grabbed out the cheese before she went over to where Miranda had told her te grater was kept and pulled it out, aware that Miranda's eye's had been turned on her and was watching her. Standing Andy walked over to the cupboard that had the plates and bowls in it and she pulled out one of the bowls before she walked back over to the island counter and stood opposite of Miranda and began grating the cheese.
Watching Andy move around in the kitchen seemed and feeled so right to Miranda, it just felt so normal having the young woman here with her and her daughters and she couldn't help but smile at the thought as she continued mixing the mincemeat with a tomato sauce.
Andy stepped inside the walk-in pantry and located the lasagne sheets and brought them back out. "What dish did you want to use for it?" she asked softly.
"There's a clear dish in that top cupboard that I usually use when I'm here." Miranda replied as she nodded up at the cupboard above the fridge.
When Andy grabbed out the dish she began placing the lasagne sheets in it before Miranda put some of the mince sauce in it before she repeated the action with the sheets and Miranda with the sauce before she sprinkled the cheese on top of it and watched as Miranda placed it in the oven. She grinned at the easy connection and comfortable silence they shared. She really enjoyed the time that she had been able to spend with Miranda today and she dreaded the day when she was going to have to leave the woman of her dreams.
"Should be ready in about half an hour." Miranda softly said to her.
Andy, pulling herself from her thoughts that had turned miserable, looked up at Miranda and smiled. "Great!"
They made their way back into the lounge where they found the girls sitting up on the couch watching a movie that they had put on.
"What Ice Age is this?" Andy asked as she sat down on the couch.
"The third one." Cassidy replied, her eyes never leaving the tv screen.
Andy grinned at her then looked at the TV as Miranda sat down on the one seater couch.
Time went by with her Andrea laughing at the movie along with the girls as Miranda stood and went to check on the tea which was ready to be eaten.
"Dinners ready." she called over her shoulder as she began serving the lasagne up on four plates.
Not long after she called out her girls and Andrea came into the room and they picked up a plate before wandering over to the dining table.
Grabbing a fork Andy tried the lasagne. "Oh this is good Miranda." she said grinning up at the older woman as their eyes connected.
"I'm very glad you like it." Miranda replied softly.
After dinner they went back into the living area and once the girls finished watching Ice Age they pulled out a pack of cards. "Andy, will you play with us?" Cassidy asked her.
Andy looked at her and smiled. "Sure honey." she replied as she sat down on the floor in front of the coffee table. "What would you girls like to play?" she asked as she made herself comfortable.
"Smack." Caroline replied as she sat next to Andy.
"Let's play then." Andy said as she began handing out some cards for them all before they began to play.
Once Miranda had stacked the dish washer she checked her email and satisfied that her employees hadn't contacted her with any crisis she stepped just inside the living area and took in the scene of her girls laughing and joking with the woman she was in love with.
Andy sensing that Miranda was in the room looked up to see her standing in the threshold of the lounge. She smiled at her before looking down at her cards before placing one of the pile in front of her. She saw it was the same as the one underneath and she reached forward to smack her hand down onto the pile but Cassidy beat her to it.
"D'oh." Andy said and the girls began laughing at her.
Miranda smiled at their laughter as she walks over to one of the one-seaters in the room and sits down in it with a content sigh.
After a while the girls began yawning and it was obvious that they were getting tired.
"Girls, time for bed." Miranda said.
They looked up at her and frowned. "Do we have to?" Cassidy whined.
"Just one more game?" Caroline asked, wanting to spend more time with Andy.
Miranda, not being able to deny the puppy dog look they were both giving her, nodded. "Alright but only one more game." she said firmly.
They both fist pumped the air and Andy chuckled as she began collecting the cards up and shuffling them again for another game. She found that she loved spending time with the girls and more importantly being in the same room as Miranda again.
~*~
After playing another game the girls said good night to Andy before they ran off to their bedroom.
The room was silent until Miranda stood. "I'll just go and tuck them in." she said as she looked down at Andy who was looking at her from where she sat on the floor.
"Okay." the brunette said with a nod of her head.
With one last glance at Andrea, Miranda left the room.
"We are so glad that Andy is back Mummy." Cassidy said as she wrapped her arms around her mother’s neck. Caroline nodded at Cassidy's words. "We missed her." Caroline whispered.
Miranda was silent for a few moments as she took in their words. Never had she seen her girls have such a connection with anyone before as they never liked Brian, her second husband or her thid husband Stephen. But with Andrea she could see that they very much liked her and just hearing the words from her daughters made her very happy.
"I'm glad she's back too bobsies." Miranda replied knowing that Andrea wouldn't leave her again. "Sleep well." she said as she kissed them both on the cheeks before she left the room.
Entering the kitchen she grabbed two wine glasses and a bottle of wine from the rack before she wandered back into the lounge where she saw that Andy was still sitting on the floor and playing a game of solitaire by herself. She smiled at the site.
Leaning down she placed the glasses on the coffee table and pulled the cork from the bottle and poured them both a glass. Picking up a glass she handed it to Andy.
"Thanks." Andy said as she accepted it before taking a sip. "Mm. This is good. What is it?"
"It's called Cabernet Sauvignon. I discovered it at a little winerie in Paris a couple years ago." Miranda replied.
"Well it was a great discovery as this stuff is really great." Andy replied.
"Stuff." Miranda said with a roll of her eyes which caused Andy to laugh.
"Ah Miranda, you're still the same." Andy said to her with a grin. "Please never change."
Miranda was a little surprised by these words as she took them in. "You don't want me to change?" she asked, looking at Andy.
The young woman shook her head. "Nope, I like you how you are. You may be a bitch and demanding but I know that's because you only strive for your employees and Runway to be the best that they can be."
Studying the woman in front of her Miranda is quite impressed by Andrea's new found confidence and found that she enjoyed it.
They remained quiet, just enjoying being with one another, as they finished off their glass of wine.
"I'll get you some blankets for the sofa bed." she said and left the room before returning with some blankets that were neatly folded. She placed them on the couch next to Andy.
Andy smiled at her as she gazed at the other woman.
"I should be getting to bed." Miranda said as she walked to the doorway with a sigh knowing that her girls would be up at the crack of dawn wanting to go out and explore.
Andy's smile fell from her face at Miranda's words as she didn't want the older woman to leave. She nodded though. "Alright, I guess I'll just see you in the morning then." Andy replied.
"You will." Miranda replied with a nod and a smile as she gazed down at the beauty in front of her.
"Night Miranda." Andy softly said.
"Good night, Andrea." Miranda replied before she left the room even though she had wanted to stay and speak more with the young woman. She planned on getting to know Andrea tomorrow as it seemed that her Andrea had changed a lot over the past few years.
~*~
Once she watched Miranda disappear into the master bedroom she stood from where she'd been sitting in front of the couch on the floor and began figuring out how to pull the couch out and into the sofa bed. When she finally figured it out she grabbed the blankets Miranda bought in for her and began putting them on the make-shift bed.
Flicking off the lights she took her jeans off but kept her tshirt on and got underneath the blankets and looked up at the ceiling as she thought about the day that she'd had being with Miranda and her girls. It had been a really brilliant day and she found herself hoping that she'd be able to spend some more time with the Priestly's during the next couple of days. Her thoughts then drifted to Miranda and the looks she continued giving her throughout the day and she couldn't help but to hope that she felt the same way towards her. Though even if Miranda did feel something towards her like love she dreaded the day that Miranda would want to leave her after finding out what Andy had done in her past. Sighing she closed her eyes and rolled over onto her side and soon fell asleep.
