Ch. 24
James continued to kiss Miranda until they had to part for air. Miranda looked into James’s eyes and he spoke very softly. “I left you because I had no choice, I never stopped loving you. I dreamed about you almost every night, with the assignment I was assigned to…” he shook his head. “If they would have found out about you they could have very easily used you to get to me. I left, without finishing it to come here, because I knew that at that point it could be handled without me and I was right. I was informed when I landed that the guy I was after was captured.” He said. “That means that M has been the one keeping us apart.” Miranda stated and started to seethe. James nodded and put his hand on her cheek. “Miranda, calm down.” He said gently. “Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down knowing that my aunt is responsible for this?” Miranda growled. Then he practically saw the wheels turning in her head. “Miranda what are you thinking?” “I’m thinking that my aunt is overdue for a visit here, does she know you came here?” Miranda asked. James shook his head no. “She is under the pretense that I’m off at a bar somewhere picking up girls or something along those lines.” James smiled as Miranda’s face darkened slightly. “So what is your plan your highness?” James asked and Miranda had to hold back a smile upon hearing the familiar nickname. “I was just simply going to invite her over here and then we could confront her about it.” Miranda explained. James grinned. “As you wish.” He said. Then he leaned back in and captured her mouth in his again. This time Miranda didn’t hesitate to respond. She slid her tongue into his mouth and pulled him closer.
The door opened and Greg came walking back in “Miranda, is everything all ri….” He stopped and watched as the two pulled apart. Greg did his best not to slug the man in front of him. “Miranda, he left you, he wanted nothing to do with you, how can you let him back into your life like this?” He asked shocked. “Greg, it turns out, James didn’t know anything about the pregnancy until a few hours ago. He had no idea that I had called him. In fact M told him that I wanted nothing to do with him. I will be confronting her about this immediately.” Miranda paused. “Greg what you were going to do for me was thoughtful, I was agreeing because I thought I had no other choice. However, I do have a choice. Greg you are a wonderful man and the best father out girls could ask for and I love you for that, always have, always will. But I’m not IN love with you.” Miranda said. Greg shook his head and stayed silent for a few minutes. Then finally he spoke “I suspected as much, I will not stand in your way if this is what you want. And of course I will not mention anything to anybody.” He turned to James “Don’t hurt her, that’s all I ask, I’ve seen her get hurt too many times.” James nodded “I will try my best.” He said. “Well, I already told the girls goodbye, so I will see my way out.” Greg said and turned and left the room, a few seconds later they heard the front door open and shut. Miranda walked over to her desk and picked up the phone and dialed the long distance number she knew so well. “M, it’s Miranda, I know it’s early for you but I had a feeling you would be up.” Miranda said, and James heard the voice on the other end. “Yes, darling I’m up what do you need?” M said. “ I’m worried about this whole situation M, I’ve never had to deal with something like this before, and I know you are someone who can help me.” Miranda said. “Miranda, dear I have always said I would be there for you, and I meant it. I will get on a flight as soon as I can. Then I can help you sort this out in person.” M said. “Thank you so much M.” Miranda said. “I’ll inform you when I land.” M said. “All right” Miranda said and hung up. She turned back to James. “I’d imagine she would be in sometime tomorrow around 3 knowing her.” Miranda said and James nodded his head. James and Miranda talked for a little while longer. Then he left, and Miranda crawled into bed and as she began to drift off she rubbed her stomach lightly. “It’s going to be alright sweetheart. Mommy will take care of everything.” She whispered and then fell into a deep and peaceful sleep.
Miranda awoke the next morning and her new morning ritual began immediately. Rush to the bathroom to empty the contents of her stomach, brush her teeth, take a shower, do her hair and makeup, get dressed, and get the girls off to school and head for RUNWAY. Miranda called it her new routine, however the only thing different was the morning sickness. Miranda arrived at RUNWAY at 8:30 and she swept through the office and began to fire off instructions. “Confirm lunch with Donatella for tomorrow, then retrieve the photos from the lingerie shoot, I am expecting a phone call from M, put it through as soon as she calls, whether I’m in a meeting or not. Then I want to see you in my office Emily. Miranda looked over at her other assistant. “go get Patricia from the groomers, I want my coffee when you return, decaf. Then go and help Nigel finish packing up his things and moving them to his new office that’s all.” Miranda said to both of her assistants and walked into her office.
Emily came in to Miranda’s office a little while later. “Sit down Emily.” Miranda said. Emily obeyed quickly. “As you know, Nigel will be moving into his new office tomorrow, this leaves me without an art director. I have seen your capabilities and I am aware of the fact that you have been my first assistant for over two years. The new you, while she has only been here a month, has learned extremely quickly, and is qualified to take over as first assistant. I would like to make you my new art director.” Miranda said. Emily did her best to refrain from squeaking. “Miranda…I….thank you so much.” Miranda nodded her head. Miranda looked up and saw the second assistant enter her office with her coffee. “Angela, you have been promoted to first assistant, contact human resources and find a suitable replacement for yourself immediately. Do that now, Emily can help Nigel pack as well as begin to move her things. That’s all.” She said dismissing both of them. The office phone rang and Angela answered it immediately. “Miranda Priestly’s office…yes, hold please.” “Miranda, it’s M.” Angela said Miranda nodded her head and picked up the phone. “Hello?” Miranda said. “You just landed?” Miranda looked at her watch and saw that it was only 10 am. “Alright, I will have Roy pick you up and bring you here.” Miranda said. Miranda looked up to see Angela already on her cell informing Roy of what he needed to do.
M arrived at Miranda’s office half an hour later, and came in with some soup. “Miranda, darling how are you?” M asked and set the soup down on Miranda’s desk. Miranda got a whiff of it and immediately got up and headed towards her private bathroom just in time to throw up. She came out a little while later and found the soup gone. “I’m sorry dear, I didn’t think the soup would have the same affect on you this time.” Miranda waved her off, and sat down at her desk. M sat down opposite from her. “So what do you want me to help with?” M asked. “Everything has just gotten out of control, but I do not wish to speak about this here. We will have lunch at the townhouse and we can discuss this then. Miranda said. M nodded her head and watched Miranda examine photos, for the next half hour. When Miranda was through there were 5 photos picked out of the stack of 50 she had. “Angela” Angela scurried into the office. “Call Roy and tell him to be outside in 5 minutes. Get me my coat and bag and M’s as well. Then when Emily comes back up here give her these.” Miranda said handing her the photos. “that’s all.” Miranda said and stood. Angela scurried out the door and by the time M and Miranda had made it out of the office She was standing there with their coats and bags and informed Miranda “Roy is already waiting.” Miranda nodded her head and the two exited the office.
They arrived at the townhouse a short time later and ate the lunch that was prepared for them in silence. When they were finished M asked “So how bad is it?” Miranda shook her head. “Pretty bad, the press are coming up with ridiculous stories. Such as that the father is Irv. Which is impossible.” Miranda said and rubbed her temple. M nodded her head. Miranda stood and carried the dishes into the kitchen and M followed her. Miranda set them in the dishwasher and turned back to M. “that however is the very least of my problems. I hate to be deceived M, you of all people should know that.” Miranda said. M stared at her in a confused manner. “James…” Miranda said and was immediately cut off by M. “Oh that’s what’s bothering you, he deceived you and made you think he loved you.” M said. “No, I didn’t.” James said. M turned widened eyes towards James. He was standing in the doorway to the kitchen. “I was not the one to deceive her. You were.” James said. M turned towards Miranda who was glaring at her. “For someone who claims to love me as much as you do you didn’t seem to realize how much it would hurt me to tell me James wanted nothing to do with me or our baby!” Miranda growled. “This disappoints me greatly, you did something that I don’t know if I can forgive. I almost went back to someone I didn’t love because of you. You better be fucking grateful that James saw that magazine when he did.” M stared at Miranda, she knew she was angry. Miranda never used foul language unless she was really pissed off. “You had no right to interfere I asked you to do one simple thing, I asked you to contact him so I could inform him. You didn’t even do that, you just made up some god damn lie about how he hate me. Family doesn’t do that.” M glared back. “I had to do it, James would just break your heart later, plus he could put you in terrible danger, more danger then what you are in just by being related to me, don’t you see?’ M said. “I can take care of myself.” Miranda spat.
M turned to James “You are disobeying a direct order by coming here Bond.” M said. “Screw your orders M. I will do my best never to hurt Miranda, I love Miranda, and as crazy as it sounds I love our unborn child.” He said. “Love? You don’t have a clue as to what love is, I have seen you go through more women then I have the time to be able to count.” M said. “I have, I’m not ashamed of it either. I know my past, but I also know that Miranda is the one I want to be with, I do know what love is, however after what you did to Miranda I’m questioning your definition.”James said. “You will not speak to me this way, either one of you.” M said “We can and we will, I am your niece not your property. If you will not accept my relationship with James then you can walk out that door and never look back.” Miranda said. “I can get a job anywhere I want M, one that is less dangerous, and I will, consider this my notice. I’m leaving British Intelligence. I can start my own security company here, in fact that’s what I’m going to do. Because if Miranda will have me I want to spend the rest of my life with her.” James said. And M seethed. Miranda looked over at James stunned. In that moment, M saw all the love and affection shared between the two, and regretted her decision of trying to keep them apart immediately. “I’m sorry” M said suddenly. “I see now I was wrong, and I see how mad you both are. It will take me time to accept it, but I will try. I have business to attend to so I will be heading to the airport to go back immediately. “I’m so sorry Miranda; please call me when you have forgiven me.” M said and then turned and showed herself out.
Miranda stood and stared at James for the longest time. “What did you mean when you said you wanted to spend the rest of your life with me?” Miranda asked. James moved in and kissed her, Miranda tangled her fingers in his hair and kissed back as he massaged his tongue over hers. Miranda moaned into the kiss and shivered. James finally pulled away and said “It means exactly what I said it did, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, and help you raise our child.” He smiled and Miranda blushed…….TBC
