Summary: Miranda has an extra member and accidentally gets Andrea pregnant during a one-nightstand in Paris (Miranda G!P)

It was a long night for both of them. Nigel had stopped working coherently around midnight, but pushed on until one when his eyes finally closed of their own violation. The poor man was no more than a tangled lump of limbs on the pull out couch, which Andy had made a home on for more than a month now.

Though incredibly tired herself, Andy continued to edit long into the wee hours. Her body was running purely on the flame that coursed through her. It was the same flame that had pushed her to do more for Miranda than any other assistant before her. She knew that the fashion maven might not even see the articles. They might all be trashed, and she certainly wouldn't know Andy had edited them. It was enough knowing that she was helping Miranda by helping Runway in some small way. It might be small, but it could also be enough to get the older woman home in time for dinner with her daughters.

She had always thought her boss was a great mother, in spite of what the media said. She put those girls before anything else. Only a natural disaster could keep their momma bear away and even that was a stretch. She had once demanded her assistant find a way to fly her home through a hurricane so as not to miss her girl's recital.

Andrea's mind wondered, thinking forbidden thoughts about how Miranda would be with this child. If it were a girl, would it look like Caroline and Cassidy? She imagined them sitting around a table together, but that image was quickly blotted from her mind. She couldn't afford to dream like that. There was no way she was going to tell Miranda about the baby. The woman would no doubt call her a slut and claim it wasn't hers. Andy's mind turned to darker thoughts. If Miranda did find out, then she might insist on an abortion.

A small part of her still wondered about an abortion. There was no way she could take care of the baby on her own. Her salary wouldn't allow it; she'd have to quit for sure. Maybe even move back to Ohio and beg her parents to take her in. It would be the easier solution for sure, but killing the life that was a little combination of her and the woman of her dreams was too painful to even think about.

Andy shook her head, clearing her thoughts before shifting the papers slightly. She hated being pregnant. Without warning, one of those reasons reared its ugly head forcing her to run for the toilet to empty the already small contents of her stomach.

Nigel's eyes bolted open when a frantic Andy had pushed him aside in her haste. He mind was fuzzy not understanding exactly what was happening. It took him a couple of minutes to drag himself off the couch to check on his friend. Since the bathroom was on the other side of the apartment, he never heard her many trips to the bathroom in the mornings. "Andy, are you ok?"

Andrea was already brushing her teeth by the time he made it into the bathroom, the smell of vomit lingered in the air. His nose wrinkled. She held up a finger indicating that she would be done in just a moment. He went back into the other room so as not to throw up from the smell. He was always like that. His parents had hated that about him. Every time his baby brother threw up, so did he.

After one last spit and an extra flush of the toilet, she came out looking grief stricken. She had not imagined telling her friend this way, but there was not much choice now. Tears prickled at the corner of her eyes."Nig…I have to tell you something"

He opened his arms, and she immediately accepted the warm gesture. His hand automatically went to her back, making slow movements as tears began to make salty streaks down her cheeks. "I'm p…pr…pregnant."

There was no preamble, no long story. It was out there now. An invisible weight lifted off of Andrea's chest. Keeping it to herself for so long had been stressful, but now her friend knew. Whether he would expect her to find her own place now, was still to be seen.

"Oh sweetie." Nigel hugged the girl and helped wipe her tears. "Who's the father?"

The question hung between them for a moment. Andrea's heart thudded against her chest. She had been dreading this question. She never liked lying to Nigel, but telling him the truth was out of the question. Miranda's honor was safe with her despite the way the bitchy woman had once treated her; her loyalty had been earned and the young woman would not betray her.

"I got drunk and slept with someone. The details are still kind of fuzzy."

Nigel could hear the lie in her statement, but was kind enough not to call her on it. She would tell him in her own time. This already had to be stressful enough for her. Instead, he turned to humor with a touch of seriousness that he was known for. "It wasn't me was it?"

It had the affect he was hoping for, the bubbly laugh he hadn't heard in months returned to his friend. It was nice to hear it after such a long absence. "No, don't worry Nig. I know it wasn't you at least."

Her laughter was contagious causing even him to chuckle. He liked this side of his six. For a while, he had feared the dragon had finally squashed her flame, but it appeared his fears were unfounded. The stress of the pregnancy must have gotten to her. "Good cause I was wasted and don't remember much of the trip."

Her laughter ebbed, but her glowing smile remained. "I don't doubt it."

Andrea allowed herself to be held for the first time since before things went bad with Nate, before she slept with her boss, and before her life became about someone else. They sat in comfortable silence, thinking their own thoughts. Hers about how glad she was to have a friend, and his imagining a cute little brunette baby running around. He would be designated fairy godmother of course. Of that he was sure, but a question still nagged at him. He had to be sure.

"You're keeping it right?" He knew getting an abortion might just kill his little six. She was kind hearted and innocent. If she did go through with it, he'd stand by her even if he didn't agree.

"I…I don't think so. I'm only six weeks, so I still have a little time to decide…"

It was then that he realized that they hadn't really discussed the living arrangements. "Six, you know I love you to bits, you can stay here as long as you need." He held up a hand to silence her protests. "Don't even worry about it and furthermore, no more sleeping on this lumpy thing. You will take my bed. I got to protect my little godchild after all."

"I can't do that to you. I will accept your offer to stay, but I am not kicking you out of your bed. You understand me, Nigel Henry Fisher."

His face showed mock horror as he replied, "I told you my real name in confidence. I swear if anyone finds out – "

"Calm down, I'd never tell anyone. Now, do we have a deal?" She was forcing the point, knowing that if she didn't now, then she'd find her friend sleeping on the sofa bed tomorrow night. His job was far more important than hers. Though, she too needed sleep. He needed it far more.

"I don't like that – "

"Do we have a deal?" Her face was a mask not giving anything away to him.

"Fine, but we are going to discuss this arrangement as you get further along." His eyes softened as he spoke again, "And if you need anything, Andy, and I do mean anything just ask. I know this can be scary, and I promise I will be there for you."

She hugged her friend. "I don't know what I'd do without you. I can't thank you enough."

"Alright, enough of his sickeningly sweet stuff. Some of us need our beauty rest."

"Love you too, Nig," she called after his retreating form. She shuffled the papers in front of her and put them into piles. He was a good man, she was lucky to know him. She still wasn't sure what she was going to do, but at least now she knew she had at least one ally in all of this.

Hi everyone. I know it's been a long time, but here you go. My beta got me back into writing. She is amazing. Hint: Miranda finds out in the next chapter.
