Back to our Love

Miranda walked with Paris down to her office. She pressed the elevator and looked at Richard and Teddy when it opened up.

"Who's adorable baby?" Teddy asked.

"Yeah, she kinda looks like you." Richard pointed out.

"It's Ben's baby," Miranda said simply staring down at her big brown eyes.

"Ohhh....and uh how did you end up with her?" Richard asked confused.

"Ben brought her in because she was sick. I was up on the peds floor and helped him out. She has a bad ear infection and a ruptured ear drum. He was tired so I told him to go lay down and I would take her from here."

"Warren's a father," Teddy commented.

"Right?" Miranda replied. She never thought about her and Ben having kids and the fact that they could have had a baby but it wasn't in the cards for them crushed her. Their child would have had an amazing father.

"What's her name?" Teddy asked staring down at the baby too.

"Paris Miranda Warren." She answered and their eyes widened.

"I know what you all are thinking and cut it out. He loves me and even though we are not together and have no plans to be. I love him and I always will. I think this is sweet. Maybe he always wanted a Miranda in his life. Because we are the best."

"Isn't that right Ms. Paris Miranda." Miranda cooed tickling her.

When the elevator opened she walked out and walked to her office shutting the door.

She studied the 6-month-old baby and all of her features. She was glad that Ben did this for himself.  Creating a family was a beautiful thing no matter which way it was done. Although if he would have found another woman and she was pregnant Miranda would have been hurt, jealous, and ultimately crushed. She didn't think she would be able to take that, which made her feel even worse that he was taking it from her.

She needed to do some serious evaluating because she really did love Ben and that's who she should be with.

She would love to be the mother of this beautiful baby and raise her with him. Tuck already called Ben dad. It was a beautiful thing. Deep down she always wanted a girl and this... Holding her just seemed right. Ben being her father was right.

Miranda stared off into space, now deep in thought. She looked up when the door opened.

"Hey, Miranda, who's baby?"

"Oh, she was a patient today." She smiled as she rocked her in her arms.

"What happened to her?"

"She had an ear infection. I gave her antibiotics and Tylenol."

"Oh okay, and you have her now because?"

"Her parents couldn't sleep last night because she was hollering for 3 days straight. I offered to keep her so they could rest."

"Oh, that was nice of you." Calvin voiced walking around to look over her shoulder at the baby.
"She actually kind of resembles you. I think it's the nose and the eyes." He commented.

"Richard said that too." She returned feeling warm inside.

"Do you want more kids?"

"At this age? I'm too old to have more kids."

"Carry them yes, but having a kid?"

"I don't think I want anymore. Do you want kids? We never talked about it."
