"Allie, Allie, Allie!"
Alex rolled over, burying her face into her pillow, ignoring the offending childish screech.
There was a scrambling of feet as it switched to the opposite side of the king sized bed.
"Pipie, Pipie, Pipie!"
Alex could feel the mattress dip beside her as her wife shifted in the bed.
"Fuck off Finn!" Alex shouted, pulling the blanket over her head. It was early on a Saturday morning, no doubt before nine o'clock, because that's when Polly and Piper usually went into work, and because Polly was the Anti-Christ from the all burning hell, and the little boy who was currently jostling the bed as he clambered on top was her spawn.
"Alex!" she could hear the blonde yell, scolding her for using such crass language around the young impressionable boy.
"What? Pete's his father for god's sake; it's nothing he hasn't heard before." She grumbled, trying to latch onto her last bit of sleep that was drifting away as the conversation continued. She could feel a little body wiggling its way beneath the sheets and beneath her folded arm, pressing a wet slobbery kiss to her cheek.
Alex grimaced, she loved the affection, don't get her wrong, but the spit she could do without.
"That may be true, but you know how Polly is, you don't need her hating you anymore than she already does." Piper said, leaning back on her elbow as she looked on at her wife and god son.
Alex pulled down the blanket slightly, looking over the little dark head at Piper. "Polly loves me."
"That's not what she told me on the night of our wedding." The blonde teased.
Alex rolled her eyes, opening her mouth to retaliate when Finn spoke up in his borderline thick Aussie accent, "Pipie, what does 'fuck off' mean?"
"Al!"
"What?"
Piper gave the brunette a stern look.
"Ugh, it means be quiet Finn."
"Oh." He whispered. "I better fuck off then."
"Yes you should."
"Alex!"
Finn giggled at his god mothers bickering.
Alex pressed a kiss to the little boy's head, grinning. "While you're at it kid, why don't you get Maison up while Piper and I get our showers."
Finn nodded vigorously, happy to be assigned a job. He climbed over Piper and then slipped out from beneath the quilts before scampering off out of the room as the two women could hear his little feet pad down the hallway.
Piper turned to Alex, shaking her head, "You realize you just told a five year old to eff off right?"
"Eff off? Seriously?"
"What?" Piper asked, confused.
Alex grinned, clearly amused. "How have we been together this long?"
Piper rolled her eyes, "Because you love me, and I'm cute."
Now it was Alex's turn to roll her eyes, "You child proofed yourself!"
The blonde shook her head once more, "Whatever you say, sailor."

Alex and Piper were watching Finn for the weekend, so they decided to take him and Maison both to the Fun-Zone, which held all kinds of arcade games along with Finn's favorite past time, the ball pit.
"I hate it here." Alex mumbled to herself. It had been Piper's idea to bring them here, because it wasn't simply bad enough to drag her out of bed this early in the morning.
"Oh babe, I know you do."
Alex rolled her eyes, hating how chipper the blonde sounded.
Piper chuckled at her wife's grumpiness, "If you are on your best behavior, I'll be very grateful." She then batted her eyes for good measure.
Alex smirked, a tingling slowly starting to stir in the bottom of her stomach. She couldn't wait until tonight when Polly picked Finn up, and Maison was in bed.
"Allie, are we almost there?" Finn asked from the back seat.
Alex looked back at him through the review mirror as she turned into the parking lot, "We're actually here now, Bud."
Once parked, they headed into the hell zone.
"Alex, where's Maison?" Piper asked, alarmed.
Alex looked up from where she was paying the fee to get into the place. "What?"
Piper scoffed, "Our daughter, your mini me, where is she?"
The brunette raised a brow, "I thought you had her?"
The blonde shook her head, "No, I had Finn." Her eyes widened, "You left our child in the car?!" She quickly turned on her heel, quickly running back out the door and across the parking lot, Alex hot on her heels, leaving Finn with the teenager at the desk.
"Sure, blame me." Alex said, following behind her frantic wife.
Piper whipped around to face the taller woman, "First instinct as a mom, bring the fucking baby!"
Alex threw up her hands, frustrated. "Now you curse!"
Piper turned around and continued towards the car, "Yes, because you left our six month old in a locked car alone!"
"It hasn't even been five minutes!"
Piper reached the car, hastily unlocking the doors and unbuckling Maison from her car seat, lifting her up and onto her hip. The little girl was perfectly fine, giggling even. "Alex, shut up, I swear to god."
Silence.
Piper looked up, shocked that Alex didn't have anything smart to say.
The brunette stood, worry etched into the creases of her brow, her bottom lip slightly jutted out, and her glasses that she normally pushed up her nose was drooping dangerously low. She really did feel bad for leaving her daughter in the car; she had honestly thought Piper had gotten her.
Piper sighed, moving Maison onto her other hip, holding her hand out for Alex to take. "I'm sorry."
Alex shook her head, "No, I'm sorry. I should've gotten her. I'm a terrible mom."
Piper rolled her eyes, "You are not. You just forgot, you're human, I forgot too."
"No, you thought I had her."
"Yes, and you thought I had her. Let's just forget this even happened, you can still have your 'Best Mom Ever' mug."
Alex smiled lightly, finally taking the blonde's hand. "Thanks."
Piper leaned up on her toes, kissing Alex softly before pointing towards the entrance to the building. "Let's go have some fun!"
The brunette rolled her eyes, a wider smile now gracing her lips. She would be willing to follow Piper through hell if she had to, which technically to her, that's exactly what she was doing.

They had a fun day, they bought pizza, Finn managed to puppy-dog eye Alex into a few games of skee-ball as Piper watched while bouncing Maison on her lap, and they finished the day off with a trip to the infamous ball pit.
"Can we go now please? It's been four hours!" Alex asked.
"Stop whining, it's not cute." Piper scolded, shifted a sleeping Maison in her lap.
Alex jutted out her bottom lip.
"Okay, maybe just a little bit."
Alex removed her glasses, making sad eyes.
"Fine, we can go!" Piper said exasperatedly.
Alex grinned, replacing her glasses back over her eyes.
"You have to go find Finn though."
The brunette huffed, standing to her feet and moved over to the ball pit.
"I don't see him!" she called back to the blonde.
There was a giggling coming from beneath a pile of plastic florescent balls though, making Alex smirk, the little devil.
"I wonder where the Finnster is." Alex asked, making sure she was speaking loud enough for the little boy to hear. Surely enough there were more giggles erupting from the back corner of the ball pit.
"Looks like you're going to have to go in there and get him." Piper said.
Alex grimaced, she hated ball pits. They were dirty and full of germs, not to mention various children, which she hated for the exception of Finn, Nicky and Lorna's son Benji, and Maison.
She sighed heavily. The sound of Piper chuckling in the background was faint but still audible.
Alex shook her head, fists balled up at her waist. She just had to do it, jump in, haul the grubby kid out, bathe in hand sanitizer until she got home, and then shower. It was going to be a fun evening.

"I got him!" Alex announced as she set Finn down onto his feet.
"My hero." Piper crooned, smirking.
Alex leaned over, lips puckered for a kiss when the blonde pulled back.
"What?" the taller woman asked.
"Nope, not until you've showered."
Alex groaned, "You're probably right."
Piper chuckled, "No, I'm always right."
"Don't push it kid."
Finn jumped up and down then, "Hey, I thought I was the kid!"
Alex smirked, "You are, it's just so is your Aunt Piper."
Finn shook his head, laughing. "No, Pipie is a big person, she's not a kid!"
Alex raised a brow before turning to look at Piper who was smiling. "She is to me."
Understanding washed over Finn's face then. "Oh, like how Mommy calls Daddy, Honey, and Daddy calls Mommy, Sweetie?"
Alex grinned. "Exactly like that."

AN: Hey guys! So that was a quick one-shot to hold you guys over until the next chapter of Moving on and Letting Go. I'm thinking about making more of these, randomly of course, but mostly following the same life. Let me know what you guys think of that idea. Also, I have a Halloween one-shot done and ready to go for Oct. 30th, so be ready for that. I'm also working on a Thanksgiving one, and currently a Christmas special, so that's one of the reasons the sequel hasn't been updated, the other reason is because I've kind of hit a wall, so hopefully the construction crew comes soon and knocks that down and I'm able to write it. Until next time guys!
