Chapter Two

After their meal, Alex had a little surprise for Piper. They opted against dessert, mainly because Alex said she was not exactly in the mood for it. However, she just wanted to do something a little different for it.

They paid the check, and then left the restaurant. As far as Piper knew, they were heading back home. That is until she paid attention, and Alex was definitely driving in the opposite direction of home. "Babe, home is the other way." she stated, unsure what Alex had up her sleeve.

"I know." she said smirking, trying to keep the secret from Piper. Except, that could be sometimes difficult.

"Alex Vause, what are you hiding from me?" She was not always a big fan of secrets, or surprises. Which of course Alex was completely aware of.

The brunette chuckled. "It's part two of our date night babe. Just trust me."

Trust was not a problem for Piper, not after all these years. She knew Alex would never steer her wrong. She just had to wait out this car ride and see where they end up.

Less than fifteen minutes later, Alex parked the car right in front of the beach. "Sit here for just two minutes."

Before exiting the car, she hit the button that would open up the lift gate. "One… Two… Three.. Four…" you could hear Piper counting as she waited for Alex.

Most of the time, the third row in the car, was down. Since they currently only have two children, they did not need the extra row up all the time. Alex had prepared a small picnic basket. She also remembered to grab a big blanket for the two to sit on.

After closing the lift gate, with less than a minute to spare she opened up the passenger door for Piper.

"What did you do Al?" she questioned, stepping out of the car. All she could see was the basket and blanket.

"Giving you one of the best date nights ever Pipes." Alex was not sure if it would top all their date nights, but she tried to be creative. Well in fact they both did. After closing the car door, Alex leaned in and kissed Piper's lips.

They took a walk, leading them down to the sand. It was somewhat busy, but they wanted to be away from the groups of people. After finding a perfect spot, Alex set the basket down and opened up the blanket so they could sit on.

Piper was semi use to being pregnant, or at least she would tell herself that she was. Previously being pregnant with a small child, she learned the ins and outs of how to live day to day. That including sitting on the floor and getting up. Of course, towards the end, it was hard.

Alex sat beside Piper and opened up the basket. "Close your eyes babe." After her eyes were closed, she pulled out the bottle sparkling grape juice, two plastic flutes, and their desert. The desert was in a box, but the bakery's logo and name were on it. She could not wait to see Piper's reaction. "Open them up.

"No fucking way." Piper's jaw was dropped. Was she dreaming? No she could not have been. "Are they.."

"Yes they are." Alex responded, knowing exactly what she was going to ask. After work, Alex had stopped off to pick up a small order she had placed at a bakery Piper loved very much. It was down the street from their old apartment and any time they were in there the blonde would always order the same thing. It was a brownie/truffle like cookie filled with white chocolate, and topped with colorful M&Ms.

"Oh my god, Alex. How did you know?" Piper opened up the box, just to make sure they were the real deal and Alex was not pulling some sick prank on her.

"How did I know? Come on Piper you've only been getting those for years."

"I mean how did you know I've been craving them." Piper had been craving them for the last two weeks but never had the chance to stop at the bakery; it was not usually near her daily errands she would run.

"I didn't, I just figured you would take this for dessert over what the restaurant would offer."

Piper leaned over to kiss Alex on the lips; it was not just a soft kiss but also a passionate one. "Thank you for all of this." she said, once their lips broke apart.

"Anything for my two favorite girls." Alex had said it, girls. They did not know for sure, but it would be nice to have at least one girl, especially with two older brothers. They would always be protecting her no matter what.

"Al, you just said girls." she was a little confused because earlier she did not seem to want to talk about the possibility of it being a girl.

"I know. I am sorry for earlier. I think it would be great if the baby were a girl. I guess I am just impatient about waiting… I don't want to get my hopes up either." Alex placed one hand on top of Piper's belly. "No matter what, this baby will be loved by everyone."

Piper could not help by smile. She was so happy overall. She was in love with her best friend, and they had a perfect little family together.

Together, they watched the last bit of the sunset, while enjoying their dessert and the sparkling grape juice. It was not long before they were lying down and Piper was curled up against Alex.

"Alex? Can we have sex tonight?" Piper asked, looking at her gorgeous girlfriend. They were not married yet, mainly because same sex marriage was not legal in many states and even countries. They traveled so much and never knew where they might stay for a while. They would not want to be living somewhere and their marriage would mean nothing to the state/country.

"You don't have to ask." she leaned over and pressed her lips to Piper's head.

"I know I don't, but I haven't been in the mood lately. I just want to know that no matter what you are still attracted to me." Piper's hormones were all over the place, which was far from a surprise for them with her being pregnant. She also had been getting emotional very easily.

Alex could not help but sit up half way, looking at the blonde. "Piper Chapman, I have, and will always be attracted to you. You are beyond gorgeous and sexy. Nothing is going to change that even when you are nine months pregnant and in labor."

Piper smiled softly, she loved it when Alex reassured her on things, even if it was the littlest of things. It still helped.
