Authors Note: Thought I would be nice and give you all another chapter. I hope you all Enjoy, and once again I do not own any of these characters.

WARNING: TISSUES WILL BE NEEDED! Don't say I didn't warn you.


Polly and Nicky sat next to Piper on the couch; they didn't know what to say, they couldn't say it would be okay because at this time it would more than likely be a lie. Mrs. Chapman felt helpless as well; she had no idea what to say to her daughter, or her little granddaughter who was out in the hallway. Piper just kept mumbling over and over, but no one could make out what she was saying. When suddenly Piper did the most unexpected thing in the world, she got up and kneeled down on the ground and prayed up to the heavens.

"Dear Mr. Christ." She had learned that saying from Pennsatucky "I know we have our differences, but I come to you today asking for forgiveness. I am sorry for what I did to Tiffany Doggett, even though she did survive that was not right of me, to take my anger out on her."

"Fucking bitch had it coming for her." Nicky mumbled to herself, but shut up when Piper gave her a death glare but then continued.

"I am also sorry for going against your wishes and your morals of life. But you see I can't be that straight girl you want me to be, I tried that lifestyle and I failed. I hope you can understand that, if not I hope you can forgive me. I also come to you today, in my time of need. You see my girlfriend the love of my life Alex Vause, I am sure you have heard of her. She too might not be on your best side but you see she had an accident and her time might be up. All I ask you, for the sake of our daughter, is that you won't take her away from us, from me, but more importantly her beautiful baby girl Sofia. If you could please reconsider your plan, and keeping her down here I would be incredible grateful and never ever doubt you again. Thank you." Piper ended and the whole room including Nicky joined her in saying "Amen."

Just as the prayer was done, a nurse came in asking if this was the Vause patient family and everyone said yes. "Good, I will ask if only one at a time will come with me." The nurse began to tell them when suddenly the little girl came running in with Morello not far behind her.

"Mom, can I see Mommy?" Sofia asked with her piercing beautiful eyes looking up at Piper and then the nurse.

"Not yet, Sweetie soon though I promise." Piper told her daughter before pulling her closer.

"I know this is difficult, but who would like to go first? I don't mean to rush but the visiting hours for our unit are different from all the rest of the floors." The young nurse asked.

The room was quite, no one wanted to go back there and say what could be their last goodbyes, when Nicky was the first to speak up "I will."

Morello gave Nicky a hug and a kiss before she followed the young woman down the hall, while the rest of the gang sat back down and waited their turn.

Nicky followed the woman for what seemed like forever, but was only a minute until they both arrived at a door, that Dr. Martin had just walked out of. "Here you go, excuse all the machine's. Take your time; I will be right over there when you are done." The young woman told Nicky before she stepped away to where she would be waiting.

Nicky told her thank you, and stepped inside the room and shut the door. Alex was lying on the bed, with what seemed like a hundred machines surrounding her. One that beeped, one that measured all her vitals, and so forth, Alex also had wires and tubes coming out of her body and it bought Nicky back to the time of her heart surgery. So in some way Nicky knew how she felt, but in another way she had no idea. Nicky moved over to Alex's side and grabbed the chair and moved it closer. Alex's eyes were closed but she knew she would hear her, she grabbed Alex's hand, and cleared her throat and began.

"Hey there Vause, you are putting us all through hell you know that? You better wake your ass up soon. Hell you even had Chapman praying just a few minutes ago. I'm not actually good at this ya know. All these feeling and shit, but I want you to know that you're one of my best friend's; we've been through some crazy shit together at Litchfield and after Litchfield. I don't know who sent you that bomb but I promise that when we find out I will kick their ass into next week, and I will sure as hell let Chapman pull a Pennsatucky on them, but this time they won't live. Remember that time when I told you that you couldn't do the cracker challenge, well you can't but that was fun. Or how about that time just before Healy got arrested and we fucked up his office pretty bad putting pictures of Lesbians everywhere, who knew that Officer Bell would help." Nicky told her with a laugh remembering his face as she told her. "That was some funny shit, you're my partner in crime Vause you know that? And you can't leave us, you can't leave Chapman, and more importantly you can't leave that little girl. Yeah she will have Chapman, but she won't have her other mommy and she needs you. Don't let that little girl go through what we went through, you had your mom though, I didn't." Nicky told her as she started to get choked up. "Damn it, I swear I've been hanging around you and Chapman too long, I starting to go soft. But the bottom line is you need to pull through this, you can't leave us. You're like a sister I never had, and I love you so you better wake your ass up soon." Nicky told her as she sat there just a little bit longer, before she placed a kiss on top of Alex's head "Don't leave us." Nicky told her one last time before she walked out the door and over to the nurse.

The nurse handed Nicky a tissue as they made their way back to the others, once inside Morello told the nurse she would go next. Morello too sat down where Nicky had just been sitting and began her little possibly her goodbye. "Hey Alex, I will make it short I swear. I just wanted to thank you, if it wasn't for you Nicky and I wouldn't be back together. You opened my eyes finally to see that Christopher wasn't coming back and we weren't getting married. And for that I thank you, I also thank you for giving Nicky a job when she got out of prison. You saved her you know that, she thinks of you as a sister, and you're like a sister to me too. You're gonna pull through this, I have faith you're so strong, and I know you won't leave us. You will just scare us, as some cruel joke. I know how your mind works Alex; well I should get going I know there are other people who want to come in. You will be fine, I know you won't leave us." Morello told her as she too placed a kiss on top of Alex's head while adding "I love ya sista."

Morello walked back into the room and Nicky wrapped her in a hug, and the nurse asked who was next. Once again the room was silent until Polly spoke up. "Mrs. Chapman, do you want to go before me?" Polly asked her and Carol shook her head no. "Well I guess then I will." Polly told the nurse as she did the same as the two before her and followed the nurse down to Alex's room.

"Hey there Alex" Polly told her as she walked inside and sat down in the chair. "You see Alex; we are really going to have a problem here pretty soon. This is twice now that Piper has chosen you, and well you might be leaving her. Well I am here to tell you can't, and you that you can't leave your daughter. I know we have our differences, but I really do actually like you. Not so much in the beginning, and not so much when you got Piper sent to prison, but now that I have gotten to know you I think of you as my sister-in-law. I have never told anyone this, but you and Piper are really meant for each other. You are such a better choice for her than Larry. I know he's my husband's best friend, but we both know he is a total dick. You really are the best thing that has ever happened to Piper, I have never seen her so happy than she is with you, and you need to pull through this and be there for her. You're strong so I know you will overcome this, but." Polly told her but then stopped because she was starting to choke up. "Okay before I ball all over you, I love you my crazy sister in law who sometimes I call supercunt, you don't leave us you hear?" Polly told her before she leaned over to kiss her forehead as well. Polly walked over to the door and then turn and spoke three final words "Carol is next."

When Carol Chapman saw Polly walk in the door she knew she was next and followed the nurse down the hallway, she was hesitant to walk inside because she didn't know what to say to the woman lying on the bed but she knew she had to say something. Carol walked inside and stood next to the bed and began to speak "Hello Alex, I am sure Polly told you I was next. To be honest with you I don't know what to tell you. I know we have had our differences, and we didn't and still don't always get along but I want to tell you I am glad my daughter has you. I know in the beginning I hated that she was with you, because I wanted grandkids, but that Fourth of July when Piper told me she was pregnant was one of the happiest days of my life. That was the beginning of me liking you Alex. Since then I have come to like you more, and think of you as a daughter in law even though you two aren't married. You and Piper have raised a wonderful little girl, and you will continue to raise her, because so help me Alex you will not leave my baby and my grandbaby alone. Because God only knows what Piper will do without you, and that scares me. So you better pull through this and don't leave us." Carol told her, and leaned down to kiss Alex on the forehead before she made her way out of the room.

Carol Chapman walked back with the nurse "Piper darling you are next." Carol told her daughter and Polly wrapped her arm over shoulder.

"Your daughter may go in with you, since she is little." The nurse told Piper, and Piper just smiled up at her.

"I can't do this." Piper said with tears in her eyes

"Darling you have to, everything will be fine but you have to do this." Carol told her daughter.

Five minutes later, after the nurse had waited patiently, Piper grabbed Sofia's hand and walked down to Alex's room. When they reached the door, Piper blocked the opening so Sofia couldn't see inside and kneeled down so she was eye level with Sofia. "Baby, we are going to go in and see mommy now." Piper told her and Sofia eyes lit up and she tried to run inside the room, but Piper grabbed her just in time. "Not yet honey, mommy is hooked up to a lot of machines okay, and she may not open her eyes because she is sleeping, but she can hear you. You just tell her whatever your little heart desires." Piper told her with a smile, and Sofia nodded her head. Piper caught a glance of the nurse and she had tears in her eyes, "This isn't going to be easy." Piper thought to herself before her and Sofia walked inside Alex's room.

Once inside Sofia stopped when she saw all the machines, "It's okay baby, those are helping mommy." Piper told her as Sofia stood still for a few and then finally moved over to the side of the bed.

"Can I sit with Mommy?" Sofia asked softly.

Piper wasn't sure so she asked the nurse quickly who told her it would be okay and she helped Sofia sit on the side of the bed next to Alex's hand. "Remember Sofie, Mommy can hear everything you say." Piper reminded her daughter while she sat down in the chair.

Sofia made herself comfortable on the bed and she placed her hand on top of Alex's, the site made Piper eyes fill with tears, but she listened as their daughter spoke. "Hi mommy, mom tells me you are sleeping, but she said you can hear me. I had a fun day at school today, I drew a picture, and my teacher loved it. I can't wait to show you it, I am sure you will love it too. Auntie Polly picked me up from school today early, but then she bought me here. And then Auntie Nicky and me met this nice nurse and she gave me a lollipop, Auntie Nicky was mean though she took the blue one. I got the red one; I know it is your favorite. But then I met this doctor, he is your doctor and I told him that he had to make you better, I guess he isn't listening to me because your still lying here. Mommy you need to get up, I want to show you my picture, and we all know mom doesn't read bedtime stories as good as you." Sofia told her mother, while Piper sat there trying not to cry as she listened to her daughter. "You know you are the best mommy in the whole wide world well beside mom of course. She's sitting here too you know, you were right she would be back by time I got out of school. I wish you would open your eyes so you could see for yourself." Piper had texted Polly to come and get Sofia so that she could talk to Alex alone once Sofia was done talking, and Polly was at the door within minutes.

Polly had heard the last bit of what Sofia had told Alex and she could see that Piper was about to break down again, so she walked inside the room. "Hey Sof, you want to go and get a snack, I hear they make amazing Jell-O." Polly told the little girl hoping that it would work.

Sofia looked over at Polly "One minute, Auntie Polly. Mommy Auntie Polly is here too, she wants to take me to get some Jell-O, she says it amazing but between you and me we both know you make the best Jell-O in the whole wide world. I hope you wake up soon Mommy, I miss you and I love you so very very much." Sofia told her and now both Polly and Piper were crying. "Can I give her a kiss and a hug mom?" Sofia asked her daughter with sad eyes.

Piper nodded her head "Of course you can baby." Piper told her and she lifted her daughter so she could kiss and hug Alex without getting caught in the wires. "There you go baby, now go with Auntie Polly." Piper told her as she set her back down on the ground and Sofia wrapped her arms around Piper.

"I will mom, and don't cry mommy will be okay, and home with us in no time. I love you mom and mommy." Sofia told her mother, before she ran over to Polly's side, as Polly had to wipe the tears away from her eyes as well.

Once Polly and Sofia left the room, Piper went over and shut the door she wanted to be alone to tell this to Alex, and didn't want anyone in the hallway to overhear. Piper walked back over to Alex' bed but instead of sitting down in the chair she sat on the edge of the bed and grabbed Alex's hand. Piper looked at Alex for a little bit, while she silently prayed that she would open her eyes. Piper fought back the tears as she began to speak "Hey baby, I am so sorry for this morning, I went to see Red today you know. She talked some sense into me, I know you're not cheating; these damn dreams are fucking with me again. God I am so stupid, I hate that my last words to you were that I couldn't be with you. I can't live without you Alex, I really can't. I can barely breathe without you, so how the hell am I supposed to live without you. While I was sitting in the waiting room waiting for your doctor to come back and talk to me, I found myself thinking about the time when you got released from Litchfield, Polly told me I had lost my damn mind and that I was worse than Finn, when Pete gave him candy. I was just so happy that you were getting out, and we could finally be together and be free. I will never forget the look you made when you tasted the coffee I bought you for the first time in so long, God I just wanted to take you right there. But we both knew Polly wouldn't appreciate that." Piper told her with a chuckle before she went on "We just made up for that night before and after dinner. I love you so much Alex Vause, and I love our life together, it may not be exactly normal but it is normal to us. I will always love you Alex, and you can't leave me, you can't leave us. Please baby pull through this, I know you can and I know you will. I am going to use your line now "Step the fuck up" and wake up. And another line "Just think of all the stories you will have" now you can tell people you got blown up and survived." Piper told her before she heard a knock at the door.

Piper went over and opened the door only to see Dr. Martin on the other side "I'm sorry but visiting hours are over for the day." He told her sadly

"But, but can't I stay the night with her?" Piper asked him not wanting to leave her side.

Dr. Martin shook his head "I am sorry ma'am, hospital unit rules no one can stay overnight unless spouses. I need you to say goodbye now, the hospital will call if there is any changes." Dr. Martin told the blonde sad woman in front of him.

"Please, please we have been together so long we are practically married. Please let me stay." Piper pleaded with him.

"I'm sorry I can't let you." He told her once again

"Then can you give me a minute to say goodbye?" Piper asked him and he nodded his head and shut the door as he was leaving. He also took it upon himself to go and get her family and friends because he knew the blonde woman would need some help leaving the room.

"Can you believe that Alex, they won't let me stay with you, I can't say goodbye to you. I have told you goodbye too many times, I just can't do it again. I love you too much Alex, please don't leave me." Piper began to say now completely sobbing as she felt a hand on her shoulder, only to see Nicky and Polly standing next to her. "Where is Sofia?" Piper asked when she didn't see her.

"Don't trust us Chapman?" Nicky asked "She's with Morello and your mom." Nicky told her.

"c'mon Pipes, I know it is hard but I don't want to be escorted out by security." Polly told Piper while she too put her arm around Piper.

Piper walked over to Alex and gave her a kiss "I love you Alex Vause and you were right back in my first days in Litchfield, you are the only one who knows me. Please don't leave, I love you, I love you so fucking much." Piper told her before giving her one more final kiss on her lips before she now completely broke down.

Polly and Nicky walked over to Piper's side and helped her out of the room. "I'm sorry again Ms. Chapman." Dr. Martin told her but Piper was too busy crying to even respond.

It was now 9:30 at night, after they left the hospital they decided they would go back to Piper's house, and spend the night with her. But meanwhile across town a tall redheaded women dressed in a power suit walked up to the nurses' station "Can I help you ma'am, though visiting hours is over." One of the nurses told her

The redhead flashed her badge while she told her "I work for NYPD, I need to see a patient of the name of Vause, Alex Vause. I was told her she got sent here after a bomb was sent to her place of work."

"I'm sorry but Patient Vause, is not awake at the moment, you will have to come back." The nurse told the lady kindly.

"It will only take a minute I just need to document her injuries, I will be sure not to wake her." The redhead told the nurse having none of the bullshit that she couldn't see her.

"Okay if you must, but please be quick." The nurse told her while she lead the woman over to Alex's room.

The nurse didn't know that Alex was beginning to wake up, and once the redhead walked inside she shut the door. "Oh how nice Alex, you are finally waking up, giving everyone a scare so I hear." The redhead told Alex.

"Who are you?" Alex asked in a hushed voice, confused on who this woman may be, but she was sure she wasn't a doctor or a nurse.

"Always straight to business, I guess that is what they liked about you. You don't fuck around, always straight to the point." The redhead told her as she stood at the foot of the bed. "My name is Julia nevermind my last name, and I work with your old friend Fahri." Julia told Alex has she let the name set in.

"Fahri, I haven't seen him in years. What do you want? How did you even get in here?" Alex asked still trying to wake up, but wasn't sure if this was all a dream.

"I got in here because I have a fake badge and you see I know who sent you that package, but if you want to find out you have to do something for me. If you don't well then I guess your lovely girlfriend and beautiful daughter will have to pay the consequences. It's your call." Julia told her as she watched anger take over Alex's face.

"You don't fucking touch them you understand, if you even lay a hand on them I will fucking kill you." Alex said through gritted teeth.

"Well we won't do anything to them, unless you do something for us. I'll contact you in a couple of days to hear what you choice is." Julia told Alex as she made her way over to the door and was about to exit when she head Alex stop her.

"Wait, I will do anything you want, just don't fucking touch my family." Alex stopped her, not caring what it was as long as Piper and Sofia stayed safe.

"Excellent." Julia said with a smile, and walked over to sit by Alex's bed.


Authors Note: And there is chapter 7, Just in case you all forgot Fahri is the guy who worked with Alex in the drug ring. Don't forget to review!
