One year later

The life ot the Priestly's are going to change today. Miranda is going to marry Andrea Sachs, her fiance of one year.

The couple, very in love, decided to make their family official. The twins deserve it and so does little Mary Elise Sachs-Priestly, who did in fact take Miranda's surname, and is now recovered from all the health issues that she developed when she was born.

Miranda is just looking out the window of her "summer house". Andrea is playing with Mary Elise on the beach, the girl is watching the waves and jumping over them here and there, with Andrea's help.

Mary Elise started to walk around four months ago, taking the doctors by surprise since it was considered to early. Well, Miranda expected nothing different, the baby have the Sachs determination and her perseverance. Anything less than exceptional was not acceptable.

After the night of Sting's concert, she and Andrea started to get to know each other better. She became fascinated with the journalist's heart, not that she hadn't seen it before, but being close to her, is totally different.

The first time they made love, Andrea said it was the first time that her heart became full of joy. After that, Miranda wanted to be sure that that joy was something always present in the girl's life and not only when they are sharing the bed – independent of having sex.

The summer house is Andrea's. Miranda bought it as a present when Mary Elise had finally been considered strong enough to have a normal life as any other baby her age.

Andrea had called her to tell the news and Miranda decided to celebrate it. The summer house was a house they saw once, when they stayed at Doug's apartment, very near the beach.

Doug had moved to the Montauk beach area around nine months ago after a better job opportunity came available. He became part of Mary Elise's life as her godfather, and they all try to go to visit him as often as her busy life and Miranda's schedule permits. So, one day the four of them are at the beach, Mary is in Doug's arms, when Andrea saw the house.

Flashback

"Oh my God, Miranda, look at that! The house is amazing. Imagine having a view like that and breathing the fresh sea air first thing every morning"

Miranda looked at the house, thinking how she could persuade the owners to sell it. If Andrea stayed delighted with it, it will be hers. Since they became a couple, she started to try to find a present to give the girl but she always said her love and the twins and Mary Elise were all she could ever need or want.

Less than one week since they saw the house, it became Andrea's present. The amount of money paid made it an easy decision for the previous owners.

It was one of the most beautiful moments in their life together, when Andrea received the keys to the house. The girl jumped to Miranda, it was the beginning of their weekend alone, the twins and Mary Elise having a sleepover at Nigel's, her second godfathers, home.

Miranda had prepared a very romantic dinner, that made Andrea suspicious, not that this was an uncommon thing but, with Miranda smiling to no end throughout dinner and telling Andrea that she just bought her favourite box of chocolates for dessert.

Andrea loves chocolate, and Miranda knows it, but she'd never had this kind of predatory smile when decided to get some chocolates for Andy. Inside the box were two things: a key and an envelope.

Andrea looked to Miranda and the Editor-in-chief only give a nod. The younger woman open the envelope and inside was the papers for HER house.

That day they made love too many times to count and Andrea said she was the luckiest woman in the world. Miranda, kissing her, just shook her head and whispered in her ear.

"I am the lucky one, my angel."

End of flashback

The house is not too close to the busiest areas of the beach and so, the Priestly's can have some quiet moments without people screaming around. It is located just a short walk from the one of the six state parks that make up Montauk Point State Park. The house, with three floors, previously was a small family hotel at the turn of the 19th century, and has 10 rooms – and two of them with an en-suite, two kitchens – located on the first and second floor, four bathrooms and three living rooms, one to each floor.

Miranda had the house totally redecorated with Andrea's style and it became much more comfy and modern than with the previous owners style.

On the first level of the house, the walls are two different shades of blue and it has wood floors. The second level's walls are grey and black and the third level, where the families bedrooms are all located, is all white. In the baby's room, they put up some stars on the ceiling, since Andrea said that the baby will not be too scared at night since the stars are glow in the dark...

Miranda agreed, after all, she said Andrea could do whatever she wanted with the house but she thinked it was a childish thing believe. Anyway, Mary Elise was not going to be there very often to see these "miracle stars".

Now, after some times in this house, Miranda can consider it her second home. In her previous marriages, she had "summer houses" for the twins enjoy their time outside Manhattan, but she never consider those places a second home.

Andrea made the difference with her bright smile, her brown eyes and her big heart. And Mary Elise too, Miranda will never deny anything for this girl.

A sudden laugh causes Miranda look to down the long corridor only to see a very wet girl running to her.

"Ma! Ma! Mom!"

"Oh my princess, where is your mom?!"

At this Andrea comes inside the room, her body all wet and dripping water all over the caramel carpet. At any other time in her life Miranda definitely have made an issue about this behaviour, now, she cannot. The vision is to delightful to deny and suddenly her mouth is too dry to have speak the words anyway.

"Andrea."

"Oh Mira, she run away after I put her at the floor here, she was in my arms before. I can't believe how she can run this fast, she didn't started to walk to long ago."

Miranda, with the girl in her arms, kiss her forehead.

"She is smart and special. I didn't expected anything less of my daughter."

"Yours. Ours. And speaking about daughters, where are Cassidy and Caroline? They are supposed to be here hours ago."

Miranda looks to Mary Elise now wants to get down, probably to go to play with the magazines at the top of Miranda's and Andrea's bed.

"They arrived several minutes ago but for some reason wanted to go to the center. No idea why."

Cassidy and Frederick are still together but she doesn't want to marry him, saying they are good the way they are now. Miranda is not happy with this, since she always dreamed of having a princess wedding for the twins. But she loves her girl and this is a small thing to overlook to see her daughter's happiness.

Caroline and Maria broken up two months ago after a long relationship, well, long considering Caroline problems with be with someone to long. Caroline now lives with a tortoise that she consider her "baby" and a cat.

Miranda can't visit her as often as she would like since Caroline is living in Colorado. She found a job opportunity there as soon as she came back from Portugal.

Today though, all the Priestly's will be together, including the animal's. A small ceremony will be held, with Doug, Nigel, Emily and Serena as guests.

Suddenly the sound of a car makes the two women smile. The twins are back and now they can start to prepare everything for the ceremony that will be happening at sunset on the beach. Afterward, the twins and their guests will stay with Mary Elise and the couple will fly to Greece, where they will be for five days as a honeymoon present from Nigel, Doug and Serena, Nigel's idea. Emily had a separate gift for the couple, two days in Paris.

Andrea loved it, Miranda didn't like the idea of a trip to Greece too much but Paris, yes, she will love going to Paris again even for only 48 hours.

As the hours pass, the guests prepare the house for the ceremony and as soon the sunset came, the couple and guests are on the sandy beach, they used a long carpet for an aisle, they are of course having a beach ceremony.

Andrea is wearing a short white dress, a gift from Valentino. And Miranda, a gold long dress, another present from Valentino. He said was not able to be at the ceremony, but at least, could do something for the couple.

The twins are wearing Prada dresses, as the same as Mary Elise. The twins are going to be bridesmaids, Cassidy for Andrea and Caroline, Miranda. Mary Elise is the ring bearer and even she didn't understand wherever it was, she was aware it is something important.

For her vows Andrea choose a poem from one of her favourite writers, the Chilean poet/diplomat Pablo Neruda.

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

I love you simply, without problems or pride:

I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you,

so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,

so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close."

Miranda decided not to go such a so romantic way, she is romantic but, well, she didn't see the need to show it to other people...only to Andrea. And she loves what she has with the younger woman that now is her wife. Her poem, something simple and powerful as life, from the French poet Charles-Pierre Baudelaire.

"L'amour est une rose.

Chaque pétale une illusion.

Chaque épine une réalité ."

After both read their poems/vows, they stepped closer to each other and shared a tender and powerful kiss putting all the emotions of the moment into it.

Miranda takes Andrea's hand and kissed it. Andrea, give a kiss at Miranda's forehead. And just like that, the Priestly's walk back to the house with their guests emotional as ever, trying hard not to cry and a very excited Mary Elise, running to her mothers and taking each of their hands in hers. And smiling saying:

"Moms, love you."

Now Miranda is sure, she has the family she always dreamt about and never imagined could happen. And Andrea, has the love of her life, a woman she never, in her wildest dreams, thought she could ever say is hers. And Mary Elise, has two mothers that love her to no end and two big sisters. Caroline and Cassidy, have a family where love is fundamental.

The end.
