Ch. 32
Nigel raised the gun and pointed it at one of the two men James was fighting. His hand shook and he tried to steady it. James glanced over and saw Nigel holding the gun. “Shoot Nigel, you can do it!” James cried as he punched one guard in the jaw. The other, who had turned and noticed Nigel as well, abandoned the other guard and charged at Nigel. Nigel panicked and quickly put his finger over the trigger, closed his eyes and fired. “AHHH!” Nigel heard a scream and opened them to find the guard lying on the floor with blood pouring out of his chest. James knocked the other guard unconscious and tied him up and ran over to Nigel. “Nice job Nigel, where’s Miranda?” James asked and Nigel turned on his heels and ran back to the room he and Miranda had been held in and hoped they got there in time.
Miranda evaded another tackle and swung her knife into the blonde, putting a gash in her arm. “You Bitch!!!!” The Blonde screamed and charged again. Miranda was beginning to tire, the pregnancy making it hard for her to be as agile as she normally would be. The blonde pulled out a knife from her pocket and flipped it open and Miranda knew she was in trouble. She was getting too tired to run from the woman. The woman threw the knife at Miranda and Miranda dropped down to avoid it. When she did she stumbled because of her added weight and hit the floor on her back. The blonde grinned pulled out another knife and lunged at Miranda “JAMES!” Miranda cried, as she watched the woman fall down on top of her.
James and Nigel heard the scream and James no longer waited for Nigel to lead the way. He rushed ahead and pulled out his gun and stormed into the room he had heard Miranda in only to see Miranda pushing a blonde woman off of herself. James looked to the woman and saw Miranda’s dagger protruding from her chest. “Oh God, Miranda sweetheart are you alright?” James asked dropping his gun and rushing to her side. Miranda nodded her head and put her hands protectively over her stomach. “I think so, although I’m sure without you here Nigel and I would still be dead. I’m so tired; fighting like this while pregnant is not a good combination.” Miranda said weakly and James picked her up off of the floor and carried her out to the car. “Nigel are you alright?” Miranda asked once she was seated. “I’m fine, and I’m glad that you are fine.” Nigel said and Miranda smiled faintly. As they started driving away the police showed up and Miranda rolled her eyes. “These imbeciles are never on time.” James chuckled and rolled down his window to explain the situation to one of the officers and that they would give statements later. “At the moment though, I’m giving my fiancé a ride to the hospital to have her examined just in case something did happen to her or our child.” Miranda did her best to glare at James for that comment but was too exhausted to do so. As they pulled out onto the highway James grinned and said “cheer up your highness, you and I both know you want to make sure the baby is fine just as much as I do” Miranda nodded in response.
At the hospital Miranda was immediately put into an examination room so an ultra sound could be done to determine the health of the baby. A nurse came in and smiled. “Ms. Priestly my name is Annie, and I will be doing your ultra sound so if you would just lie down on your back we’ll get started.” Annie said and Miranda nodded her head and laid down on the table, and felt her gown being lifted to reveal her slightly bulged stomach. The gel was squeezed on and then the nurse began moving the ultra sound over Miranda’s belly, listening for a heartbeat and anything else that might be wrong. Miranda turned to James and gripped his hand. “Ms. Priestly, Mr. Bond, you have nothing to worry about. The babies appear to be in good health.” Annie said and Miranda and James nodded their heads. “Thank you” James said and then what the nurse said finally hit Miranda. “Wait, I could not have possibly heard you correctly, you just said babies. That’s not right. Ever since the first ultra sounds have been done there has only ever been one child, how can there possibly suddenly be one more?” Miranda asked and James’s eyebrows shot up in shock. The nurse sighed and moved the ultra sound back over Miranda’s body. “Look at the monitor please, as you can clearly see, there is not one baby but two. Sometimes expecting parents don’t find out until as far along as you are for the simple fact that one twin could be hiding behind the other, and of course when you go in for your first ultra sound, the baby’s heartbeat is not always a guaranteed thing that early, so you might very well have only heard one heartbeat. However, as you can see from the monitor there are clearly two strong heartbeats and two healthy baby girls growing inside of you. Congratulations Ms. Priestly.” Annie said and Miranda stared at the monitor in shock.
Finally Miranda groaned “Oh my God! Another set of twins, why does karma punish me so?” Miranda asked and James chuckled. “Darling, we will be fine! I’m thrilled! I really am! Now what do you mean Karma punishing you darling?” “When I gave birth to Caroline and Cassidy I swore up and down that I would never go through that hell again.” Miranda said and James laughed. Miranda rolled her eyes. “I’m obviously going to have to call my doctor, but I’ll do that tomorrow. Right now I would like nothing more than to go home and put my girls at ease and then soak in a nice relaxing bath and sleep. Then tomorrow after work I will inform the twins, Nigel, the doctor and…M” Miranda said and shivered. “Yes darling, I’ve been thinking the same thing. It’s time to talk to her, and to forgive her.” James said and Miranda nodded. “Indeed” the nurse had quietly left the room. James helped Miranda down from off of the table so she could get dressed and they could hopefully evade the press as she went home. As they were about to step out of the exam room it suddenly hit her “Oh my God Roy!” Miranda whispered and James paled. “James, I don’t know what has happened to him! He wasn’t even in the car when Nigel and I got taken! They had removed him from my vehicle first!” Miranda said and James struggled to keep her calm. “Miranda, I will look into it right away, we will find him I promise. They weren’t after him, they were after you so there is a good chance that he is alive and well.” James said trying to reassure Miranda as he led her to the doors of the hospital. As they turned the corner into the waiting room Miranda gasped. Roy was being led in a wheel chair out the front doors. “Roy!” Miranda said in a slightly raised tone and the wheelchair stopped and the nurse turned around to let Roy see who had called him name.
Miranda walked quickly over to the chair to where her driver sat. “Miranda, I’m so happy to see you are alive and well.” Roy said with relief. “I feel the same Roy, I am glad you are alright and I trust not too terribly injured?” Miranda asked. “No, just a few cuts and bruises and a bump on the head from where they knocked me out.” He replied and Miranda nodded her head. “Roy there is to be a huge bonus in your paycheck and you and your family may pick a vacation spot of your choice for two weeks entirely on me.” Miranda said. “No, that’s not necessary..” Roy started to say before Miranda interrupted. “Roy do not consider this a request consider this an order from me.” Miranda said in her RUNWAY and headed out the door as Roy chuckled. “Yes Miranda” he said “Good Answer” Miranda replied. James shook Roy’s hand and then followed Miranda out the door into the waiting stream of press.
The next afternoon Miranda was in her office on the phone with Dr. Peterson. “So, how is it possible that my other child has gone unnoticed for so long?” Miranda asked the Dr. “Well Miranda, as the nurse told you sometimes one twin likes to hide behind the other, and at our last ultra sound we were just identifying the sex of the baby. If I was not studying the heartbeats that closely, if I had I’m sure I would have seen both register on the monitor. I apologize for that.” Dr. Peterson said. Normally Miranda would have torn the Doctor’s head off already, but she was in a cheery mood thanks to her girls. They had taken the news amazingly well and had picked out a whole new list of names to go with the name Catherine. “Alright, what’s next?” Miranda asked. “Well, you are going to come in for an ultra sound, and some tests on both of the babies this time, although I’m sure everything is fine, I just want to make sure.” “Thank you doctor.” Miranda replied and after scheduling her appointment she hung up the phone in time to see Nigel standing in the doorway to her office giggling. “Nigel it seems to me you are spending more time here lately than you are at your own publication.” Miranda said and Nigel entered the room. “A little birdie told me you are not carrying one baby but two! Gorgeous I’m so happy for you! That being said at five months, I can’t believe you aren’t already showing more!” Nigel said and Miranda nodded her agreement. “I’m sure it’s only a matter of time.” Miranda said and smiled up at her friend as he held out two matching baby PRADA outfits. “Great, now Uncle Nigel gets to do even more spending.” Miranda said and chuckled. “You better believe it darling!” Nigel said and grinned.
Miranda arrived home early with the book already in tow. She smiled at the thought of everyone at RUNWAY running for their lives to for once have the book ready by six. Miranda heard a voice in the sitting room and walked in to find James on the phone. “Hold on M, she just walked in.” James said and handed Miranda the phone. Miranda took a deep breath and James wrapped his arms around her. “Hello M” Miranda said. “Miranda, I’m so glad that you are alright, I have been worried sick about you. I knew that something like this would happen one day.” M said. “Listen M, as you know I’m not in the habit of repeating myself so I am only going to say this once. You have always been overprotective of me. I have always resented it but, don’t get me wrong I have always understood why. However, this last time you crossed the line when you tried to keep James from me and that kind of betrayal hurt.” Miranda said and paused. “I know Miranda, I’m sorry.” M said quietly “That being said, I forgive you. It has taken me awhile but I do forgive you. Now, there is some interesting news you should hear, I’m pregnant with twins as it turns out. I am once again having two little girls.” Miranda said and smiled when she heard M laughing over the phone. “Miranda, that’s wonderful news.” M said “Indeed, now just so you are aware you will get a wedding invitation when the time comes. However if you have seen any pictures of me in the paper lately, I’m starting to show and so therefore I will not be having the wedding until after the children are born because I refuse to walk down the aisle in a maternity gown.” Miranda said and shuddered. “Believe me Miranda, if you did everyone would wonder about the apocalypse. M said and Miranda laughed. “that they would.” They talked a few more minutes and then said their goodbyes.
Miranda turned to James. “Thank you darling.” Miranda said and James leaned down and kissed her. “No problem your highness” Miranda smiled at the nickname and James chuckled. “I remember when that nickname used to annoy you.” He said. “Shut up and kiss me.” Miranda said and James did just that, giving her a long and leisurely kiss.” When the parted groaned. “What?” Miranda asked. “Twins! I just realized that’s going to mean double duty with a gun when they are teenagers and ever boy in America chases after them.” James said. Miranda giggled. “What makes you think they will be so sought after?” Miranda asked. James grinned “because they are going to look just like you, I know it, and you are the most beautiful woman in the world.” James said and Miranda rolled her eyes. “Your very good at lying.” Miranda said. “Trust me on this Miranda; you have the power to turn gay men straight and straight women lesbians.” He said and Miranda released a loud laugh. She was home, there were no current family issues, all of her children were happy and healthy, and she was in the arms of the love of her life. “All is right in my world” Miranda thought and kissed James…….TBC
