"Oh yeah, sorry everything looks great…but I do have some interesting news for the two of you," Dr. Morrison says. Alex glances at Piper and then back toward the doctor.
"What is it?" Alex and Piper ask simultaneously and then giggle nervously.
"Congratulations ladies! You are having twins!"
Piper's mouth drops open and Alex's does the same. "Um…excuse me, but what did you just say?" Alex asks looking at the doctor.
"I said you're having twins! Look right here," Dr. Morrison says pointing to a small figure on the screen, "And here," she says pointing to another small figure on the screen. Sure enough Piper and Alex can see two tiny beating hearts on the screen. Tears immediately start streaming down both women's faces as Piper leans down to tenderly kiss Alex on the lips. "Holy shit babe! We're gonna have two!" Piper whispers into her wife's ear. Alex shakes her head slightly and smiles still too stunned to put her feelings into words.
"I can clearly see two amniotic sacs so most likely they are fraternal twins, but it is possible for some identical twins to have separate sacs, we might be able to tell more at your next appointment when we can determine their genders," Dr. Morrison continues, "It looks like you can plan on a due date of April 19th, but in the meantime keep doing what you've been doing because everything looks great! Congrats again Vauses and I'll see you in another four weeks," the doctor concludes leaving the room to allow the couple a moment of privacy.
It has been several minutes since the doctor left the room and Alex has yet to say anything. Piper is a bit concerned about the brunette and asks tentatively,
"Hey Al?" There's no answer Alex just remains sitting on the edge of the examination table biting her lip slightly.
"What's going on in that beautiful head of yours? Come on babe talk to me." Alex is suddenly jolted out of her trance-like state as her emerald eyes fix onto Piper's ocean blue ones.
"Pipes…I was freaked out enough about having ONE baby…and now there's two of them! I mean what if I'm a terrible mom? What if I mess them both up? What if…"
"Al calm down baby, take a deep breath. We knew this was a possibility because multiples are much more common with in vitro procedures," Piper says placing her hands on Alex's cheeks. "Our babies are so lucky to have you for one of their moms, and I'm going to be right here with you every step of the way okay? How about we get you up and we get out of here because we have some news to share with our friends."
Alex takes a deep breath and visibly relaxes as she pulls her gorgeous blonde wife in for a kiss. Pulling away from the kiss Alex whispers, "Alper."
Piper's brow furrows in confusion, "Did you just say Alper?"
Alex chuckles slightly, "Well since there are two now, we need another temporary name, so how about Alper?"
A huge smile lights up Piper's face, "Pipex and Alper Vause! I like it!"

After leaving the doctor's office, Piper insisted on stopping by the grocery store to buy Alex some ginger ale and pretzels as Dr. Morrison suggested. As the women walked through the store picking up some essentials Piper says, "Hey baby? Are you up for inviting Nicky and Lorna for dinner tonight? I think they deserve to be the first to know." Nicky and Lorna were actually the only people that knew Alex and Piper's situation with Piper needing a couple of years to heal from her attack before trying to become pregnant and Alex deciding to carry the couple's first child. They were aware that Alex and Piper had started the process of harvesting Piper's eggs and searching for a sperm donor, but they did not know that the embryos had already been implanted.
"Actually Pipes, I feel surprisingly good, I mean after the shock of hearing that we're having twins!" Alex says with a deep chuckle. "I think that's a great idea babe, I'll text Nick right now."
To Nicky: Hey Nick! Pipes and I were wondering if you and Lorna want to come over for dinner, maybe order a pizza or something? It's been awhile since we all got together.
As soon as Alex sent the message she saw that Nicky was typing a reply
To Alex: Yeah Vause that sounds great, I never say no to pizza! I'll bring the beer! What time you want us to come up?
To Nicky: How's 6ish?
To Alex: Sounds great Stretch see you then! Make sure Blondie orders pepperoni and mushrooms on the pizza and not her usual spinach shit!
Alex smiles to herself and catches up with her wife who is already at the checkout counter. "They're coming over for pizza at around six. Nick says that you better order pepperoni and mushrooms instead of 'that spinach shit!'" Piper laughs as she pays the cashier, "Is pepperoni and mushrooms okay with you Al? I know your stomach has been very sensitive lately."
"Pepperoni and mushrooms sounds absolutely delicious, and after they leave I'd like a little of you for dessert," Alex murmurs into Piper's ear with that damn sexy eyebrow raise of hers.

Piper and Alex are cuddled up on their sofa watching a comedy on television waiting for their guests and the pizza to arrive. There is a loud obnoxious knock at the door followed by an even louder shout as Nicky opens the door and walks right in like she owns the place.
"Knock, knock Vauses! My lady and I have arrived! The party can officially start! When's the pizza coming? I'm starving! Vause you want a beer? Lorna brought some Pinot for herself and Blondie!" Nicky yells from the kitchen as she puts the beer and the wine in the fridge.
Nicky appears in the living room carrying two beers quickly handing one to Alex before making herself comfortable on the loveseat. Lorna appears next carrying two glasses of Pinot handing one to Piper before sitting down next to Nicky. Alex holds the beer awkwardly and avoids making eye contact with her best friend. Piper sees how uncomfortable Alex is and begins speaking, "The pizza should be her in about ten minutes…but we kinda have some big news that we want to share with guys…" Piper glances at Alex and smiles. Alex nods at Piper with a small smile telling her to go ahead, "Alex is pregnant! And it's twins! We are having twins!"
"Ahhhhh congratulations you guys!" Lorna screams jumping up from the couch to give both women a giant hug. "We're so happy for you, right Nicky?" Nicky pulls Piper into a hug and then walks over toward Alex.
"Well Stretch tell me something I didn't already know!" Nicky says giving her best friend a playful jab on the shoulder, "I mean I've known for at least a week now, not about the twins obviously, but that you were preggo. I was just waiting for you to get up the nerve to tell me."
"Fuck you Nichols! You did not know! I know you…you definitely would have said something by now if you knew," Alex replies coolly as she heads into the kitchen to grab some plates for the pizza.
"Believe what you want Vause, but I'm much too observant for you to hide something this huge from me. For example, you have made a ton of excuses why you couldn't have a drink with me after work, you've been puking your guts out for two weeks, you started fucking crying yesterday when I told you to go home and that I would handle closing, and last but DEFINITELY not least…your tits are fucking enormous!" Nicky lays out her case and Lorna giggles adding, "That is true Alex!"
"Nicky! First of all why didn't you say something sooner? We've been dying to tell you guys! And second of all…why are you looking at my wife's tits? I mean you have a girlfriend!" Piper shrieks.
"First of all Blondie, I love Lorna with all my heart, but I'm not dead and I'm not blind because her tits," Nicky says pointing to Alex, "Are fuckin huge! I mean they were always pretty big, but now…"
"Okay! Okay! Nicky enough about Alex's boobs! Just shut up and drink your beer!" Piper says trying to sound annoyed, but failing miserably as a smile slipped from her mouth. Alex just shakes her head because she is used to Nicky's crude comments.
Just then the pizza arrives and the women eat and joke around for nearly an hour before Nicky says, "Well we have some news of our own...Lorna's agreed to move in with me!
"Well it is a bigger place and much closer to work…" Lorna says as Nicky looks highly insulted. Lorna giggles and gives Nicky a huge kiss, "and the love of my life lives there too, so how could I say no?"
"Oh yay!" Piper squeals, "It's about time Nicky!" The blonde says giving Nicky a playful shove.
"Hey we didn't want to perpetuate the lesbian U-Haul stereotype, so we waited awhile!" Nicky replies sarcastically. "And on that note, we're gonna take off! Congrats again you guys, I can't wait to see how this pregnancy treats you Vause!" Nicky says with a sly wink at the raven haired woman.
Walking their guests to the door Alex says with a laugh, "You know I love you Nick…but fuck you!" Nicky laughs loudly as she wraps her arm around Lorna's shoulder and walks to the elevator shouting over her shoulder, "Love you too Vauses!"
Closing and locking the door, Alex heads to the kitchen where Piper is busy loading the dishwasher. Alex can't help but admire the view of the blonde's ass. Walking up behind her wife, Alex wraps her arms around Piper's waist and seductively whispers into her ear, "How about that dessert?" Piper sucks in her breath and turns around into Alex's embrace. Quickly Alex lifts Piper up so that she is sitting on the counter. Stepping between the blonde's legs, Alex attacks her mouth with a searing kiss while her hands roam from Piper's waist to thighs. Pushing her tongue insistently against Piper's bottom lip, she is granted access with a deep moan from her wife. Grabbing Piper's shirt as their tongues battle for dominance, Alex pulls the offending garment over her head in about a millisecond before unhooking the clasp of the blonde's bra. The brunette leans forward and take one rock hard nipple into her mouth while softly pinching the other one. Piper's head falls back as she pushes her chest toward Alex's expert mouth. Alex can't wait to have her way with her hot blonde any longer so she slides her hands underneath Piper's butt and lifts her up. Piper screams, "Put me down Al! You shouldn't be lifting me up in your condition!" Alex just laughs walking toward their bedroom kissing the blonde's neck as Piper wraps her legs around her waist. "Pipes, I'm pregnant not disabled, and after being sick for basically two weeks straight, I'm horny as hell and I want you," Alex whispers into her ear before depositing her on the king sized bed. Lying down on top of her, Alex continues the kiss that began in the kitchen. Allowing her lips and tongue to explore Piper's neck, ears, pulse point, and collarbone until she can hear her wife's breathing increase as soft moans escape her throat. Removing Piper's leggings and throng in one movement, Alex settles between her lover's legs. This is the closest place to heaven on earth that Alex can imagine as she allows her senses to take in all that is the gorgeous blonde. Piper is so wet already that Alex can see the wetness coating her folds and inner thighs. Unable to resist any longer, Alex takes a long slow lick from Piper's center to her throbbing clit and then back down again several times causing the younger woman to buck her hips up and groan loudly, "Oh Fuck Alex!" Focusing her mouth and tongue on Piper's clit, Alex sucks hard as she slides two slim fingers inside making a come hither motion with every thrust. Sensing that her wife is close, Alex sucks her clit even harder while continuing with her fingers until Piper comes apart with a hard orgasm. Slowing her movements to allow Piper to come back to Earth, Alex kisses her way back up the blonde's body giving her a sexy smirk. Piper smiles and rolls her wife onto her back to return the favor slowly removing the brunette's clothes and kissing and worshipping her entire body. Suddenly Piper is flipped back over again as Alex takes control. Lifting one of Piper's legs, Alex straddles her and begins grinding their pussies together. They are both so wet that they slide effortlessly against each other until both women scream their release. Collapsing next to Piper, Alex cuddles her wife and whispers, "Fuck, I really needed that babe." Piper giggles resting her head on Alex's shoulder, "Yeah Al… me too."
