As they walked through their bedroom door Andy watched as her lover dropped their bags by the closet and laundry shoot. They would be emptied tomorrow morning because right now they were not only knackered but had other things to worry about.
Miranda watched as Andrea fell onto the bed with an exhausted sight.
"I know I haven't done much except sit in a car, but I will sleep like a baby tonight." Andy spoke, stretching out on the bed.
Biting the inside of her lip, having not forgotten what Andrea said she planned on doing to her for continuing to call herself old, hoping her lover wouldn’t be too tired or has forgotten.
"Oh, don't worry, my love. What I'm to do to you later is still on the forefront of my mind." Andy spoke, seeing the look in Miranda's eyes, winking at her lover. "I will continue to take you as I desire if you continue calling yourself old when you and I both know you're in the prime of your life... there's no slowing you down for a very long time... if ever."
Miranda raised an eyebrow, lips curving. "Oh, is that right?" she questioned.
"Yes, you know I'm right."
"Mmm." Miranda hummed, leaning down to press her mouth against Andrea's.
"For as long as you continue to call yourself old I will tease, and take you as I wish." Andy spoke, allowing her lover to pull their bodies flush together. "We shouldn't be doing this now." she moaned softly, aching in to Miranda, as their mouths parted.
"You're right." Miranda responded, pulling away and standing from the bed, watching as her lover pouted in disappointment.
"Tease!" Andy spoke causing Miranda to chuckle just as Evelyn came bounding into the room.
"I'm hungry! When is tea going to be ready?" Evelyn impatiently asked.
"Aren't you supposed to knock before entering a bedroom?" Andy questioned, looking at her daughter pointedly, throwing a cushion at her.
Laughing heartily Evelyn caught the cushion as she jumped onto the bed. "The door was wide open!"
"Ooops." Miranda said from where she was putting their dirty clothes into the laundry shoot. "I left it open."
"Sorry, bug, I hadn't even noticed." Andy said, wincing as she sat up. "This back is killing me!" she continued to speak as she stood. "No, rephrase that... my whole body is trying to kill me!"
"Why would anyone want to be pregnant?!" Evelyn asked, frowning and looking at her Mummies curiously.
"Good words, bug." Andy said, rubbing her back as she entered the bathroom. "Remember those words when you're older."
"Oh, don't worry Mummy, I'm never getting pregnant! Boys are too disgusting!"
At Evelyn's words both mummies’ laughed.
"Oh, sweetheart, I think you'll have a change of heart when you're older." Miranda said as she ran her hands through Evelyn's gorgeous hair which she noticed was getting longer, getting closer to the length Andrea's is which is how their daughter wants it.
The sound of the toilet flushed and the sink turned on before their stunning brunette beauty reappeared.
"He's kicking." Andy spoke as she wandered back in.
Evelyn instantly ran over to her Mummy, putting her hand on the big belly.
Also, doing so without running to her lover, Miranda grinned. "There's our beautiful boy."
"He's really active tonight." Andrea commented, cringing as he kicked an uncomfortable spot.
"It still looks weird. Are you sure it doesn't hurt, Mummy?" Evelyn asked, watching as the foot was seen.
"Slight discomfort, but nothing Mummy can't handle." Andy responded. She wasn’t looking forward to second childbirth.
"I can't wait to meet him." Evelyn responded, continuing to rub Andy's belly. "I'm going to be the most awesome big sister!"
"You're going to be the greatest, bug!" Andy excitedly spoke.
"Just like Caroline and Cassidy are to me!" Evelyn said.
Miranda smiled, loving how quickly Evelyn had bonded with the girls. "That's right. All four of you will make a great team for this little one."
Andy nodded in agreement as their daughter simply beamed before yawning widely.
"Okey dokey, time to get you in the bath before dinner." Andy said, beginning to walk out of the room with Evelyn hot on her tail.
"Did you buy more bubble mixture, Mummy?" Evelyn asked.
"Cara brought a bulk pack so you won't run out again for a good couple of months." Andy replied, entering Evelyn's bedroom and crossing the room to the ensuite.
While she ran the bath her daughter played in her room before getting her pajama’s ready and laid out on her bed.
"Mmm. I will never tire of that sight." Miranda commented, entering Evelyn's bathroom where Andrea was leant over the bath, turning off the taps, that arse looking delectable as ever.
Andy snorted. "My fat ass."
"Nonsense." Miranda said, slapping Andrea for saying that. Sighing and shaking her head she stepped closer, having to control herself because she wanted to pull her lover closer and make love to her right here, right now. "You will never cease to amaze me, darling." she spoke as her lover straightened and turned into her. "Never."
"The feeling is mutual." Andy whispered, pecking her lover before grabbing out the squeezy bottle of bubble mixture.
Watching her lover pouring some into the tub Miranda smirked remembering back to that night in Australia in her hotel room where her brunette beauty poured a crazy amount in the spa which ended all over the bedroom.
Chuckling at the silly thought she kissed her lover before exiting the room to get a start on dinner.
~*~
Andy sat back with a pleased grin. "One of the best mac and cheeses I've ever had. Thank you, babe." she spoke, squeezing her lovers hand who sat across from her at the dining table. "Please tell me there's leftovers."
Smiling Miranda nodded. "There is plenty left. For anyone who wants more." she said, turning to the others.
Evelyn, as expected, beamed just like her mother. "I love your cooking, Mama!"
The others nodded their agreement.
Miranda watched Darcy closely who seemed satisfied enough.
"Thank you again for inviting me to stay." The dark-haired woman spoke, looking a little awkward where she sat at the end of the table, her hand also connected with
"No need to thank me." The Runway editor spoke, waving the words away. "I just hope you have room for desert?" she questioned as she stood from the table, picking up the empty bowls closest to her. She was taken aback when Darcy stood and helped.
"Desert?" Evelyn asked, eyes wide.
"S’mores." Miranda responded, winking at her little girl.
Both Evelyn and Andy grinned. S’mores were one of their favourite deserts on a Winter night.
"Also, roasted marshmallow’s if no one wants s’mores." Miranda spoke, turning to look at Darcy unsure what deserts the young woman enjoyed.
"I like both." Darcy said, shrugging.
Miranda was relieved. "Great." she replied, relaxing as they moved into the kitchen with Caroline close behind. "I'll stack the dish washer and we can meet up in the den?"
"I'll get the fire started." Caroline said.
"Can I help?" Evelyn chimed in, appearing in the kitchen.
"Sure, you can. Lead the way!" Caroline responded as they moved out of the room.
"Did you want some help?" Darcy asked, sounding awkward as if she has never offered such words before.
"No no, go along with the others. This won't take me long." Miranda replied, smiling as Darcy looked a little unsure at first before walking after Evelyn and Caroline.
"Thanks for the lovely meal." Louise said, bringing in her now empty bowl. "It was delicious."
"I'm pleased you enjoyed it." Miranda responded, smiling as the blonde took Cassidy's hand as they followed the others.
"See... that wasn't so hard." Andrea's voice came from behind a few seconds later.
"Yes, well... I'm doing it for Caroline."
"I'm glad you're trying to move on from the past." Andy said pushing that famous lock of hair away from Miranda's eye. "I know it's not easy moving on from a hard situation. I'm proud of you, babe."
"I appreciate you so much for saying that." Miranda replied, leaning into Andrea who kissed her cheek.
They then worked quickly on the dish washer before collecting the ingredients needed for desert, taking it all upstairs.
On their way, Andy's phone began ringing.
"How's the article going?" Miranda heard Andrea's boss ask.
"Rude prick." Her lover mouthed at her causing her own lips to curve. He really did sound like a right bastard. "it's nearly done. You'll have it in your inbox by midnight."
"And I need your other piece done by midnight tomorrow."
"My other..."
Andrea's boss cut her lover off. "That one you were going on about... the old people..."
She watched as Andrea's eyes widened.
"I didn't think you wanted... yes, I can have that done." Andy spoke, looking to Miranda in shock.
"Thanks. Bye." The prick of a boss replied before disconnecting the call.
"He said yes to my other article!" Andy said, turning to her lover, unsure how she should feel. Surely there had to be a catch on her boss’s end. He never did anything for anyone other than himself.
"See... I told you it wouldn't be long until your dry spell disappeared." Miranda spoke, pleased for her lover. "Just like a certain other dry spell." she murmured, nudging her lover, winking.
"Ugh, yes, finally!" Andy replied, the first few weeks of her pregnancy being a real bitch where she had no desire to be sexual.
"You know that I understood and didn't mind... our relationship isn't just about sex... though last night was... incredible and my excitement is growing for tonight." Miranda said, licking her lips.
"Good. Because I'm going to make you tremble like never before."
At Andrea's words a shiver of familiar desire went flooding through Miranda pooling between her legs. "Oh, darling..." she whispered, legs already trembling. "Stop it." she whispered, her cheeks reddening at the simple thought.
Andy smirked. "You love the anticipation."
"We want desert... we want desert!"
They were pulled from their private moment by the chorus coming from the den.
"Hold that thought though." Andy whispered, kissing Miranda before continuing to walk. "It's coming guys!" she said, looking over her shoulder. "Just like you, later."
Eyes widening Miranda had to take a few deep breathes to calm her buzzing body.
"Here we go!" She heard Andrea's voice coming from the den.
"Yaaay!" Evelyn excitedly responded. "Smore time!"
Chuckling at how Evelyn pronounced the desert wrong Miranda walked into the room with the large bag of marshmallow’s.
Settling herself amongst her family who were huddled in front of the fire Miranda opened the bag of marshmallow’s. "Whose having s’mores?"
At her question, everyone piped up, diving in to get the first one made.
~*~
"Good night, bug." Andy whispered to her extremely knackered daughter who practically fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, the weekend away and kicking her indoor footy with the girls once their desert digested had caught up with her. She could only hope her daughter slept well and dreamt of wonderful things, waking up just as excited as she was today about starting her first day at DALTON.
"Sleep tight, sweetheart." Miranda whispered, kissing her daughter on the forehead before standing from where she sat on the single bed as she turned the lamp off. The room illuminated in the light of her favourite colour which she shared with her parents - dark green AKA "Poison Ivy" for her night light.
Turning around Miranda looked at Andrea who stood motionless staring at the large framed photograph of Melbourne city. Her lover shook her head, sighing sadly.
"It's still so hard for it to soak in that my last time in Melbourne was exactly that... my last time."
At Andrea's words Miranda put a supportive hand around her lover. She was about to speak when Andrea continued.
"It was my second home. I created a whole life there... literally." she said, looking to Evelyn. "And another growing inside of me who won't be able to grow up in his home environment... doing what Aussie kids do..." the brunette said, tearing up now.
Andy sniffled, reaching out to trace her fingers over the magnificent Eureka Tower Skydeck. "So many memories... and we'll never be able to go back to create new ones."
As her lover sniffled again Miranda wiped her own tears at the frightening realisation that was only just starting to sing in now. She handed Andrea a tissue before blowing her own nose. She opened her mouth to speak, but closed it upon not knowing what to say because "It's going to be okay" would be false and false hope did no one any good.
However, she knew that whatever happened in Australia she knew they, their family, would be okay. She took a deep breath and spoke. "I know that it is hard to accept what is about to happen but please know that I will do whatever is necessary to keep you, our girls, and our baby boy safe... no matter what."
Their eyes connected and as she stared into Andrea's gorgeous brown eyes she knew her lover would do the same for her. She also knew they were thinking the same three words.
Always and forever.
