I own nothing from DWP but I have had a great time in borrowing the characters for inspiration.

Rated M for a bit of Mirandy time. :)

Monday morning Nigel sat at Miranda's desk and wrote his editorial for the first time:

First I would like to say hello to our readers. This being my first editorial for Runway I want to reassure everyone my commitment to keep the high standards brought here by outgoing Editor in Chief Miranda Priestly. I cannot say enough about the amazing woman who brought so much too so many people. Through her eye the careers of many artisans has blossomed. Profound respect is given this lady by all who have had the pleaser, and Runway has been fortunate to reap the awards brought by her. Miranda has not left us entirely as her insight and inspiration will always be available to us. She will be enjoying the arrival of her and partner Andrea's twin boys along with their older sisters. They wish to thank everyone for their well wishes and for their privacy to be respected. This blessed family of two sets of twins are doing fine. The picture on the opposite page show the family at the Christening of the children. The girls stand in couture Stella McCartney and the boys wear gowns of silk and lace handed down from Miranda's great-Grandmother who also was a twin. Runway gives their best wishes for this special family.

Miranda made sure blow ups of the Men's, Plus Size, and Newswomen issues and the Special Musician issue was visible at the runways of all the designers involved. The very first issue of Teen Runway was prominently displayed all over.

Nigel's first editorial came out the day before the week began and was the buzz of the week. Reprints of the family showed up in all the newspapers, in celebrity magazines and on-line.

Everywhere Miranda and Andréa went they were congratulated. Everyone commented on how good Andréa look after just giving birth. Andréa was able to join Miranda at many of the shows thanks to Kara and a breast pump. She did not know what was more exhausting caring and feeding twins or running the shows.

Runway (actually Miranda) made it possible for Alexandra to also have her own show. The show was a hit. Designer houses from all over offered her a job. She was very courteous and told them she would think about it. When Miranda came back stage she placed her arm around the young designer and helped her field questions.

After everyone had left Alexandra looked at Miranda with the biggest smile on her face. "What just happened?"

Miranda laughed, "You did an excellent job Alexandra. You should be very proud of yourself."

Alexandra beamed, "It was so much fun! Miranda."

"Yes. It is." Miranda replied.

"I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for me. I hate the thought of Runway without you." Alexandra had a tear in her eye.

Miranda smiled, "Seeing you succeed and be happy is all the thanks I need. Besides I will still be around. Not as Editor in Chief, but I will be around. Now come we have more shows to see."

The end of New York Fashion Week brought much talk and success for Runway. The talk of Miranda retiring and rumors of another sweep at the Paris Awards by Runway kept them in the news. Miranda could not be happier she truly had it all.

The next two weeks proved to be a whirlwind for everyone at Runway. Miranda was on high alert. They did not know who to fear the most Miranda or Emily. It would be Emily's first year in Paris as Editor in Chief of her own magazine and she was taught well by Miranda. Emily knew this would just be a working trip. Looking for new designers and models for the magazine. Never did Emily dream of being in this position.

The boys were settling nice into a routine. Andréa was worried about taking them all the way to Paris at such a young age. Anna was rocking Michael as Andréa nursed Richard.

Anna could see the worry in Andy's face. "Andrea what is bothering you?"

Andy looked up smiled at her Mother and took a deep breath, "The trip. Do you think it is good for the boys? To take them so far away from home now?"

Anna smiled, "It would be worse for you and Miranda to go and leave the boys here, or for Miranda to go and leave you and the boys here. Andrea you knew times like this would come. It is just one trip the boys will adjust."

Andy smiled at her Mother, "I hope I become as good a Mother as you."

Her Mother smiled, "Andy you already are."

The plane ride to Paris went better than Andy thought it would. She nursed the boys as the plane took off and they slept and ate just like they were at home. Miranda was just as involved in caring for them as Andy. Michael as always proved to have his fussy time and as long as Miranda held and sang to him, he quieted.

Once at the hotel the boys settled into their cribs and Andréa and Miranda had a few hours alone.

Kara stayed in the joining room, but for now she was not needed.

Miranda had other things in mind as the boys slept. This would be the first time they had permission from Dr. Jackson to be intimate and Miranda planned to take full advantage of it. She missed the closeness with Andréa during these times. Miranda pushed the bellhop out the door so fast he did not know what hit him.

Miranda marched Andréa back up to the bed.

Andréa raised her eyebrows, "Miranda, what are you doing?"

Miranda grinned, pulling her love into a mind-blowing kiss. Miranda's hands ran down Andréa's back over her buttocks and pulled her in tight.

"I love you Andréa." Miranda whispered in her ear. Her hands slid up Andréa's back under her sweater. "I want you Andréa." She pulled the sweater up over Andréa's head.

Andréa crossed her arms over her abdomen.

Miranda looked at her, "Andréa." Miranda moved back into her and took her hands. Miranda pulled her hands away. She lifted Andréa's head with a hand and kissed her deeply. "You are so beautiful."

Andréa smiled and shook her head.

"Yes you are especially the part of you that protected our boys for nine months." Miranda kissed her again.

Miranda took and lowered Andréa down on the bed. Her hand caressed Andréa's belly. Miranda stood at the side of the bed and slowly stripped for her love. Andréa smiled as Miranda caressed her own abdomen and the scar there. Miranda removed Andréa's jeans, and crawled into bed with her.

Miranda moved right to Andréa's navel and made love to it with her tongue. Something Andréa loved Miranda to do. It took Andréa's breath away. Miranda's hand skimmed down over Andréa's thighs and made Andréa shudder. Miranda's fingers glided down into Andréa's wet folds. She knew Andréa was ready and Miranda's fingers fell into Andréa's core. Andréa moaned.

"Shhh my love you will wake the boys." Miranda smiled wickedly as her fingers moved in and out of Andréa. Andréa soon reached the point when Miranda knew, and she rubbed Andréa's clit bringing her to orgasm as she kissed her deeply. As Andra came down from her high there were tears in her eyes.

Miranda lovingly caressed Andréa's face and wiped the tears knowing the young woman's hormones were running wild, "Andréa."

Andréa shook her head, "I just love you so much."

"I know Sweetheart," Miranda smiled and pulled Andréa close.

Andréa feel asleep curled into Miranda's arms.

Not long after Miranda heard the boys stirring. She got up out of bed and went to the fridge and pulled out a bottle and put it in the warmer. She went over to the cribs and smiled brightly, her beautiful boys.

She picked up Michael who seemed to always be the first awake. "Good morning little man." She kissed him lovingly on the cheek and he smiled. Miranda beamed.

When Andréa opened her eyes they focused on Miranda sitting in the rocking chair feeding one of the boys. Andy was so overcome with joy tears fell once again.

Miranda heard her stir and looked up smiling. "Good morning sleepy head."

Andréa smiled, "I did not hear him cry."

"You didn't, I picked him up so you could sleep."

The week went by quickly. Miranda and Andréa made it to all the shows on their list. Andréa had a great time. It felt good to get away from the boys. As much as she loved them she needed the interaction with grown-ups.

At times they had Alexandra with them and she noticed Miranda pointing out the finer points of every collection. Explaining the designer's unique style and why they were a hit. Alexandra soaked it all up just like Andréa had done. Andréa did not think her love could get any stronger for this remarkable women, but somehow every day she did something that made Andréa's heart grow bigger.

The afternoon of the Awards Ceremony had Serena and Emily in Miranda and Andréa's suite doing hair and make-up on everyone. Nigel supervised everything. Miranda and Andréa were stunning in their couture gowns. The birth of the boys made them glow even brighter if that was at all possible. Runway had been issued two tables at the awards ceremony due to all the people they brought with them. The one person missing, Irv. Miranda and Andréa walked into the awards room and the temperature immediately cooled and everyone turned to watch the Ice Queen make her entrance.

Andy mused to herself. "How does the woman do it?"

Miranda pursued the room.

Andréa whispered into Miranda's ear, "Look."

Miranda turned toward the place Andréa was looking, and walking toward them was Meryl Streep and Roberta Guaspari.

Miranda smiled brightly, "Meryl!" Miranda hugged the lady, "Once again you have managed to surprise me."

Meryl laughed, "And it has been so much fun doing it."

Miranda laughed. Everyone around them who heard that stopped and stared. "It is so nice to have you two here. Meryl you have always been very good luck for me."

Miranda and Andra made it to their table and already seated there was Glenda Ravitz. Miranda leaned down and hugged Glenda, "I am glad you made it Glenda."

"Miranda I would not have missed this for the world."

It was the end of the night and time for the Bronze, Silver, and Gold awards to be presented.

Miranda sat and took it all in.

The announcer tried to make jokes toward Miranda's leaving Runway but her glare stopped him.

"So now for the winner of the Bronze Award. Every year there seems to be a first and this year is no different. The Bronze award goes to Teen Runway and their very first issue."

Emily was stunned. Miranda smiled closed her eyes and lowered her head. It did it. It won. Beyond all the nay sayers it won. Miranda knew it would.

Serena was hugging Emily, "Babe you did it and Miranda knew it would happen. That is why she brought you all here. Get up Babe go get your award."

Emily looked at Miranda and shook her head, "No it is Miranda's. It was her Baby."

Miranda looked at Emily and took her hand, "Take Patricia, Alina, and Alexandra with you. It belongs to all four of you. Emily you deserve it."

Emily stood up to a huge round of applause. She collected Alexandra, Alina, and Patricia on her way up to the podium. The four walked dazed and in a state of shock.

Once in front of the mic and with the award in her hand, Emily looked at Miranda. "She would not come up with us but this award really belongs to Miranda Priestly. For without her devotion and brilliant mind this magazine would never had made it to the press or even been thought of. Her trust and constant faith in us helped us to deliver this awesome new magazine for young girls."

Emily stepped away and Alexandra stepped up. "Once again I need to thank you Miranda for your wealth of information, and I want you to know your presence will be truly missed." There were tears in the young woman's eyes.

Miranda had tears in her eyes. Andréa took Miranda's hand and gave it a squeeze.

Patricia was next. She was scared to death but as soon as she looked at Miranda her strength came through. "Miranda took a girl who was shuttling people around the airport and gave her a chance. She had no idea of what that girl could do but she gave her a chance. Miranda had more confidence in me than I did. Now because of her I run the Art Department for Teen Runway and find myself standing on this stage. Miranda thank you and know you will be missed."

Miranda bowed her head in thanks.

Alina was last and as she started her voice shook, "Guten Abend" (good evening). She cleared her throat knowing Miranda expected her to be strong. "Nothing I say can echo what my three partners have said. Only those who had the opportunity to work for Miranda can possible know how grateful we are for being mentored by her." Alina looked straight at Miranda, "Danke Draken Dame" (thank you Dragon Lady). Alina smiled and bowed.

The three left the podium to a round of applause and Miranda laughing. As Emily sat the award in front of Miranda the crowd including everyone at the Runway tables gave a standing ovation for Miranda.

"Well, it seems the night has gone from the Paris Awards to a Tribute to Miranda Priestly." The crowd laughed. "Who else speaks German in here?" No one dared to repeat what Alina had said as Miranda glared at the announcer. "O.K. then it's on to the Silver Award." The announcer opened the envelope and smiled. "Here we go again. The Silver Award goes to Runway the Newswomen Issue, and Miranda Priestly Editor in Chief."

Miranda closed her eyes once again then stood and smiled. She turned and took Emily's hand and pulled her up, "You are coming with me." They circled the table and she looked at Nigel, "You too." Nigel blinked, then stood up. Once at the podium Miranda waited for the applause to die down. "My friends this may have been my idea but without the hard work of the two people behind me it would never had made it. I have seen Runway grow over the last three years to its highest proportions. This was made possible by everyone behind the pictures and articles and most significantly these two, Nigel and Emily. For all of them and Runway I accept this."

The applause was deafening as the three left the podium and a second award was placed at honor on the main table.

"Well, it seems the Ice Queen has melted." The announcer laughed. Miranda glared at the imbecile.

"Uhm … then again maybe not." The audience laughed. "Now for the big one. The winner of this year's Paris Gold Award goes to … and this is no surprise. The magazine that brought to the world the documentary Fashion and the Shoot." The crowd was roaring before he could finish. "Runway and the Special Singers Issue, Miranda Priestly, Editor in Chief."

Miranda took a deep breath and looked at Andréa, "I need you with me."

Andréa smiled leaned over and kissed Miranda's lips. Andréa stood up and offered Miranda her hand. Miranda accepted it, rose, then turned, "Meryl, Roberta please come with us." As the group rounded the table Miranda arched an eyebrow toward Glenda. The lady smiled and rose. The two women walked up to the podium followed by Glenda, Meryl and Roberta. Everyone stared what was Irv's wife doing going on stage with Miranda?

Miranda took another deep breath and moved forward accepting the award. As she looked out to the audience she saw another standing ovation for her the Dragon Lady. She smiled and waited for the clapping to die down. "I would like to thank everyone. Meryl, Roberta, and HBO for making this issue so much fun to publish. Everyone had a grand time at Carnegie Hall and at the opening of the documentary. The money from the documentary raised thousands of dollars for the Harlem School of Music thanks to Meryl Streep And Roberta Guaspari. Miranda turned toward the two women and bowed. If you saw the documentary you know music is a big part of my family as my girls lived out a dream of theirs to play piano with Billy Joel. The musicians, and singers who gave of their time, Runway workers who managed to pull together a variety of Artist it was all marvelous and exhilarating. Working for Runway has brought me many years of enjoyment, it gave me the love of my life. (Miranda turned to Andréa and smiled sweetly) Which gave me two more precious children, and many friends. I have met countless remarkable people who motivated my better issues. Too many to mention but they know who they are. It is bitter-sweet for me to step down as Editor in Chief of Runway, but I know I am leaving her in the best hands possible. Ladies and Gentlemen the new Editor in Chief of Runway Nigel. Nigel please stand." Miranda motioned to Nigel smiling brightly.

Nigel blushed but stood. There was a long stretch of applause led by Miranda.

Before Miranda could step away Andréa walked up beside her. "Hello, I have an introduction to make. Someone who has a very important announcement to make."

The crowd murmured.

Andréa took Miranda's hand, "Ladies and Gentlemen I am proud to give you Glenda Ravitz, her family has been the major stake holder in Elias-Clarke Publishing since its inception, and without them none of us could have done any of this with Runway. Glenda please." Andréa turned to Glenda, smiled and motioned her to the mic.

Glenda cautiously walked to the mic, then in a very strong voice announce, "Miranda will not be walking away from Runway completely."

The entire audience gasped.

"As she steps down from Runway she will be taking over for my Husband as Chairman of the Board for Elias-Clarke Publishing."

There was another gasp from the audience.

"I am ... Elias-Clarke is very happy for Miranda to finally be running our publishing company." Glenda turned and smiled toward Miranda and made a slight bow with her head.

It was quiet in the room and Miranda took Andréa's hand. As they walked off the podium the audience came back to life and stood applauding. The women walked back to the table and sat the third award among the stunned crew of Runway.
