Alex had set up the nursery a few weeks before Piper's due date, so when they came home from the hospital Piper walked to it to set him down in his crib.

"Where are you taking my baby?"

Piper turned around to see Alex smirking behind her.

"To his bed?" she answered, confused.

"Don't put him in there, he's so tiny."

Alex's attempt at Bambi eyes made Piper laugh.

"Well what am I gonna do with him, Al? He's asleep. We can't hold him all day."

Alex walked closer to her, "Why not?" She smiled shyly.

Piper's heart was melting all over again. She handed her wife their son. Alex cradled him in her arms and leaned forward to gently kiss Piper.

"I love you, Pipes." Her eyes glowed. "You tired?"

Piper nodded.

"Let's go take a nap." If Piper's happy place was the shower, Alex's was the bed.

Piper woke up several hours later. She slowly opened her eyes, feeling Alex stroking her hair. She was careful not to stir so Alex wouldn't realize she was awake, wanting to watch her unguarded with Jack.

Alex was laying in bed next to Piper, her left arm absent-mindedly playing with her wife's blonde hair, right hand holding up her book, nuzzling her son on her chest.

He let out a small whine and started to squirm. Alex set her book down and rubbed his back, kissing the top of his head, and inhaling his newborn scent. Her left hand had come to rest with a few blonde strands wrapped around her fingers while she rubbed Jack's back. He sighed and settled, Alex smirked.

"So smug," Piper smiled.

Alex jumped, not realizing she was being watched.

"Jesus, Piper! You almost gave me a fuckin heart attack," she whispered in a strained voice.

Piper chuckled, "We're gonna have to do something about that language."

She reached her hand out to stroke his blonde hair.

"Pretty cute, right?"

Alex smiled at them, "Of course, he looks like you."

"Do we really have to go back to work?" Piper whined.

Alex laughed, "It's been 3 months, Pipes."

"I don't want to leave him."

"You don't have to."

Piper's head shot back to Alex.

"What?"

"Let's go inside."

Polly was waiting, Alex had called her earlier asking her to meet at the store for Piper's surprise.

"Pol? What's going on?"

Polly and Alex smiled.

"Look in the back, Pipes."

Piper walked behind the counter towards their offices and saw it had been remodeled. Alex had a contractor come in and knock the wall down between them. Their desks were now closer, sharing the space where Piper's office had been. What used to be Polly's office was now an area blocked off with baby gates, some play pens, toys, 2 rocking chairs, and a changing table.

Alex and Piper walked in behind her. Alex lowered Jack's car seat, looking at their boy sleeping inside.

"Day care is expensive, and I knew you wouldn't want to leave him."

"It's great, Piper. I've been bringing Finn." Polly touched Alex's arm, "Thank you, again. So, so much, Alex."

Alex smirked, "Wow, Alex? Not Supercunt today?"

"Al, this is... When did you? How?"

Alex couldn't reply because Piper had walked over and kissed her hard. She smiled into it.

They were enjoying their normal life. Business was going great for both of them. Piper had Jack at work, Alex was next door. They took their breaks together. Polly said the whole thing was disgusting but Piper knew she was losing her animosity towards Alex.

The blonde reached over the baby gate to lift her son up, placing him on her hip. A month shy of his first birthday and he was walking everywhere. Normally she would have him hold her hand, but they were going to cross the street to the coffee shop and she got nervous having him in crowds and around cars.

"We're gonna surprise Alex with some coffee from across the street, you want anything?"

"No. Some juice for Finn, maybe. There's cash in my bag."

"Ok, I'll be back in a few."

Polly waved her away, not able to look up from the documents she was reviewing at her desk.

Piper walked across the street with Jack babbling on her side, oblivious to the man in the car parked outside her store that was staring at her.
