"Alex I think I'm done now"

Looking up there stands Cameron shivering from the cold, lips almost blue. She swings her legs of the lounger putting a hand on each of the boys arms rubbing up and down as to warm him up. "Geez your fucking freezing" Cameron obviously to cold to protest against her use of language just stands there shivering while she grabs the towel and wraps it around him. "Come on, lets go get you warmed up." She says as she gets up and starts walking slowly. Looking back she notices that he is not following.

"Are you coming?"

"I'm to cold to walk. I cant move. My feet is frozen" came the reply.

Alex cant help but laugh as she walks back to him thinking he will definitely follow in his mothers footsteps of acting. His fucking brilliant at it already. "You know, if you want me to carry you all you have to do is ask."

She bends down picking up the 4 year old. "Why are you carrying me like a baby" he asked confused.

Once again she bursts out laughing. Her stomach muscles will never make it through one day with this little guy. He is to funny. Only he knows where he gets all the comments from.

"Because you are wrapped up in this over sized towel like a cocoon so you cant sit on my hip or on my back so how do you suggest I carry you?"

"I don't care. I just don't want to walk" he smiles back at her.

Alex is obviously very happy that Cameron is only 4 years old and of small built. So she carries him all the way until they get of the lift on the 44th floor. "Do you know if Larry is in the rooms" she asks him. His eyes goes wide before his whole face goes all sad.

"Why? Do you want to take me back there? Is it because I didn't want to walk? Are you mad?"

"Geez kid, calm down. You sound like your mother when you babble like that. I only need to know if he is there so we can get you some clothes for dinner. All I have is your shorts and shirt. You can take a bath in my room."

"Okay" he nods "I don't know. I will go see. You can put me down now."

As soon as he reaches the door he starts banging on it until it eventually flung open. "Wow, why are you making such a noise boy." Alex hears Larry's voice "And why are you alone?" she hears the confusion / worry in his voice.

Just as Larry is about to stick his head out the door to see if anybody is with Cameron, Alex appears next to him. "Oh its you" he says.

"Yes its me. Listen I would love to stay and chat but from what I have heard we have dinner plans tonight and I have to get this one" gesturing down to Cameron "and myself ready so if you could just hand me some clothes for him we will be on our way."

"Well I am here, so I can get him ready. I have done it before. I know how it works." Larry sneers back at her.

"I want to go with Alex. Please Larry. Mommy said Alex can look after me today." Cameron sulks

There is a stare down going on between Larry and Alex. Alex very confidently staring down at Larry, arms folded, eyebrows furrowed.

"Well" Larry looks down at Cameron "If your mommy said so." And with that he turns around Alex assuming to go get Cameron's clothes and she would be assuming right. "Here you go." He angrily hands the clothes to her.

She smiles sarcastically, the smile not reaching her eyes "And Pipers number" she asks.

"Excuse me?" Larry could control the excessive amount of shock in his voice.

"Can you give me Pipers number?" Alex repeats herself

"No I definitely can't. I don't know you from a bar of soap. And frankly she doesn't know you that well either. It puzzles me why she puts so much trust in a complete stranger. She hardly lets anyone near her son. But I will eventually figure it out…"

"Just give me the number Larry" Alex interrupts

"I cant give you her number. She is a celebrity. You don't just go handing out numbers to strangers. How do I know you wont….." he thinks about it for a second "Sell her number on Ebay or something."

"Really? Sell het number on Ebay. Really?"

"213 509"

"Cameron!" Larry stops the boy

A victorious smile spreads on Alex face "Not to worry Larry. Thanks for nothing" She grabs the boys hand and walk towards her room. As they are just about to pass the lifts they hear the door to Larry's room slam close. "Well that's a bit of an over reaction" she mumbles to herself.

Cameron was very happy to give his mothers number to Alex. She however informed him that he should not in future just give his mother number to anyone unless it is an emergency to which the boy happily agreed. While Cameron is playing in the huge bath full of bubbles, you would think he would be tired of water by now, Alex is sitting on the step, back against the wall so she can watch him.

To Piper:

So do you have a phone yet? *blush emoticon*

To Unknown Number:

And you are?

To Piper:

Wow, a bit rude. Alex

To Alex:

Sorry. Obviously don't have your number. Yes I have a phone.

To Piper:

So I gathered seeing as I got a reply.

To Alex:

Was there something in particular? I am sitting in a meeting. Is Cameron okay?

To Piper:

So if you are in a meeting, why do you reply? That is very rude Chapman. Yes Cameron is fine. He is in the bath…. After I had to wrestle your boyfriend for some clothes for the poor little guy.

To Alex:

Oh God

Alex laughs imagining the roll of the eyes or the sigh the blond lets out.

To Alex:

Who won?

To Piper:

Come on. Is that even a question.

To Alex:

I assume you got my number from my son because I KNOW you wouldn't get it from Larry.

To Piper:

You are such a good mother to teach your 4 year old son a 10 digit number and he actually remembers it. *Smiley*

To Alex:

Yes, now I just have to teach him that he is not supposed to just give it to anyone. Its for emergency's ONLY.

To Piper:

Oh, don't worry. I already took care of that. He knows it now. Besides this was an emergency.

A couple of seconds later Alex's phone vibrates. 'Incoming Call – Piper Chapman'

"To what do I owe this pleasure" Alex answers

"You said you have an emergency and you have my son so what is the emergency" came the concerned reply from the blond. She listens to Alex bark out a laughter on the other side of the phone. "What is so funny. What is going on?"

"Well the emergency is that I don't know where or what time dinner is."

"Oh Alex, please tell me you didn't just let me stop a meeting because you want to know when and where you will be fed."

"hey, nobody asked you to stop your meeting" Alex laughs "We were doing pretty good with texting"

"Alex!" The blond raises her voice a little "you said it was and emergency and Cameron is with you. What did you expect?"

"I expected to find out where and what time me AND your son are suppose to be"

"We'll seeing as I am going to run so fucking late now it will have to be the dinning room at seven."

"Fantastic. We will see you then. Bye Piper" Piper can hear the smile on the other girls face.

"Bye mommy" Cameron shouts in the background

"Bye baby" Piper says even though her son cant hear her. "Bye Alex. Please no more non-emergencies"

"you got it" and with that the line goes dead.

By the time Piper arrived back at the hotel it was already six.

"Meeting run late?" Larry enquires as he sits on the bed watching as his girlfriend runs around the room frantically trying to get ready for dinner in an hour.

"Yeah" she confirms "I had to stop the meeting a couple of minutes to give Alex a call" when see saw the confused expression on her boyfriends face she explained further. "I miss-understood one of her text messages of an 'emergency' so I called. You know how I can get."

"So I guess Cameron gave her your number after all."

"Its no big deal honey, really"

"Maybe you can explain this Alex to me for a second, because I am struggling to understand what exactly is going on here and how she all of a sudden fits in. You hardly let anyone near Cameron but you leave him with her for days. You hardly know her Piper"

"Really Larry. You want to do this now. We are running late as it is…" She pauses scratching her forehead lightly "Yes I hardly know her okay, but I trust her. I know… I just cant explain it and Cameron likes her so I don't see a problem here. I don't know what the fuss is about. We are leaving tomorrow. I don't get what you have against her anyways but think about it this way. You just have to get through dinner tonight and then you don't have to ever see her again."

"Cant be soon enough." And with that Piper shoots him a dagger look and he raises his hands in defeat, gets up off the bed and walks over to his girlfriend wrapping his arms around her. "okay I am sorry. I honestly don't know why I don't like her. We just don't click. Don't be mad at me okay."

"I'm not mad. It's just been a stressful couple of days." She smiles back at her man and kisses him softly on the lips. "I need to shower okay."

Hi guys

I just want to start of by saying if I missed any reviews and did not reply to you I would like to apologise. They come through all mixed up on my email and then I am not sure which I replied to and which not.

I know I am taking things very slow and it is excruciating to some, but I want to create a feel first. Bare with me.

WB79: I'm glad you enjoyed it. I don't think Alex actually pushed her. She fell in after she got a fright when Alex snuck up on her. Thank you for the review.

Librarybook: I'm sorry to say you have to wait one more chapter to find out how dinner goes. Should be up by Monday. MAYBE tomorrow but no promises. Thank you for the review.

Prooffice: Unlike you to miss an update. Lol "a very wet Piper" not a bad image. Always a pleasure. I'm not sure how they will meet up again. We both have to wait and see. Thank you for the review.

Guest: I don't know. Do you think Alex is nanny material? Thanks for the review.
