Chapter 20

A/N: Reviews are highly appreciated! Please tell me what you guys think!

I do not own anything, I just made the story.

Alex's mind went to overdrive and thought of the murder documentaries that she and Piper have been watching lately. "What did they do to survive again? What should I do? Where is Piper? Is that a murder weapon? Or maybe he's in the wrong house. Or maybe I AM in the wrong house." Alex thought so, she discreetly looked at her surroundings to confirm and saw her and Piper's picture by the side table.

The man didn't look like he was going to attack Alex, so the raven-haired woman made sure to keep things in control.

"Who the hell are you?!" – One… Alex spats with wide eyes. She was shocked to say the least. There was a man, about early to mid-thirties, good-looking (she had to admit though she wouldn't dare lay a finger on him), but obviously looking… "What do I call this look again?" tired, yes, he is looking tired, standing in the middle of her and Piper's kitchen. He is wearing black jeans, a white shirt under a blue zip up jacket that has the initials C and R on the upper left chest. He is also wearing a dark blue bonnet. She was confused. "Who the hell is this? Did a homeless person break in to my house?"

"Oh!" The man jumped in surprise but continued talking. "Hi. I didn't know Pipey had another roommate." The man said looking at Alex. She offered the raven-woman a tired but welcoming smile. He continued his task as he was about to start cutting the bread on the countertop. "Okay. He is totally harmless. 'Pipey' though? Pipey? Piper?"

"What?! Hi?! Uhm… Who are you, again?!" – Two… Alex asked startled as she was starting to get a bit agitated. If she and Piper was expecting another roommate that day, she didn't get the memo.

She was thinking that maybe she was in a TV show where they prank normal people in their homes with men cutting bread in the middle of their kitchen, looking like a murderer straight from a Netflix thriller series.

"Who are you?" The man asked.

"I'm… Wha… It's rude to answer a question with another question, you know?!" Alex hesitated and called out for Piper looking at their room. "Pipes?!" No answer. Alex's mind went to over drive. Piper didn't tell her that she'll be having visitors if this is Piper's visitor. She isn't expecting anyone herself. A thousand things played inside Alex's head. "What the fuck! Is this a serial killer? Who the hell is this inside my house. No no, but she knows Piper. Pipey. Shit is this a boyfriend?!" She looked at the man once again who was expecting an answer form her.

"I'm Alex. Who are you?" – Three… Alex asked as she was glued to the floor. She didn't move a single muscle. "What did you do to Piper?" Alex asked with wide eyes. The man's expression turned from curious to amused to surprise to shocked.

"You're Alex?" The man asked standing up. Alex immediately stepped backward with their big breakfast (four bags – two on each hand) still in hand.

"Last time I checked, yes. I'm going to ask you again. Who are you?" – Four… Alex asked being very careful.

"You're a woman!" The man said with more amusement in his expression until a smile grew on his face. Alex's eyebrows raised up to her hairline not believing that this man in front of him is playing twenty questions with her. Well, he's the only one doing the asking and apparently getting his answers.

"Last time I checked, yes, again. Are you going to tell me who the hell are you?" – Five… "You're here in my house! I deserve an answer, don't you think?" Alex answered now much more confused than before.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry. Let me help you with that!" The man said rushing towards her reaching out for the take-outs to help Alex. The raven-haired woman just stared at the man with wide-eyes as she was frozen in place. "I don't understand anything that's happening."

"Who are you?!" – Six… Alex shouted in question, demanding an answer. The man's head snapped back with wide-eyes realizing that he still hasn't answered Alex's question and thought that he might be utterly scaring the shit out of Alex.

"Alex, what's wrong?" Piper sauntered from the bedroom as she heard Alex's raised voice. Alex noticed that Piper just finished taking a bath and was as calm as she could be. Alex just looked at Piper with wide-eyes and looked at the man and Piper back and forth.

Piper realized Alex's demeanor. She didn't mean to scare her girlfriend about having someone visit her. The man looked at Alex and Piper and then Piper looked at the man and Alex who was waiting for an acceptable explanation for all of this. Alex was getting ready for a "This is my boyfriend that I haven't told you about." remark but got nothing until the man spoke up instead who shook his head.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" The man walked towards the breakfast bar and placed the take-outs on top and then rushed back to Alex to extend his hand in introduction. The man extended his hand but forgot to speak up. Piper was now giggling at the man's gesture as he still didn't speak up. She put two and two together on what is currently happening. The man genuinely just forgot to introduce himself until Alex's eyes were boring holes on him.

"I'm Danny! Piper's eldest brother. I'm sorry for scaring you shitless!" Danny said slightly embarrassed. Piper started chuckling. He walked towards a surprised Alex and lifted his hand for Alex to shake. The raven-haired woman took it hesitantly at first but shook it regardless. The Chapman siblings found it funny seeing Alex physically let out a sigh of relief as she regained color.

"Here, see?" Danny said as he removed his bonnet to show Alex his blonde hair. "Pipey's right. You've been watching too much of those suspense and thriller movies. And maybe a bit too much of those murder documentaries. You must've thought I was a serial killer." Danny said chuckling.

"No, I didn't!" Alex said defensively and then her shoulders slumped in defeat. She turned to Piper who had a wide shit-eating grin.

"I told you that you watched too much of those movies!" Piper said giving Alex a chaste kiss on the lips. "Good morning, babe!" Piper said chuckling. Alex was still in a state of shock.

"Pipes, you could have told me your brother was coming so, I wouldn't be thinking that there's someone who broke into our house to cut a fucking piece of bread!" Alex said trying to ease her nerves. Danny and Piper chuckled to this.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know he was coming over." Piper said. "It's a surprise, kind of!" Piper smiled.

"That is great, babe! But, I saw him holding our bread knife for fuck's sake! In the middle of our kitchen! What do I think about a stranger in my house holding that?!" Alex said letting out her fears and frustrations. Piper chuckles and soothes Alex's arm to calm her girlfriend down.

"I'm so sorry!" Piper said as she exploded in a fit of laughter. Danny followed suit but stopped and smiled at the raven-haired woman. Alex shook her head and started speaking up.

"Good thing I bought breakfast for more than two people!" Alex said looking at Piper then at Danny, offering them a small, sincere smile.

"You always buy breakfast for more than two people! You don't have to tell me that!" Piper said with raised eyebrows.

"Speaking of telling…" Danny started. "… you forgot to tell me that your Alex is a woman too, Pipey!" Danny said with a smirk forming on his lips.

"You have any problem with that, Dan?" Piper asked with raised eyebrows. The corner of her lips tugging up to a smile.

"Yeah! You have to teach me how to get one myself! One as gorgeous as your girlfriend!" Piper's eyes widened at Danny. It is now Alex's turn to laugh. Alex tried stifling her laughs watching the exchange between the siblings. Piper's face blushed profusely to what her brother said.

"You have a girlfriend of seven years!" Piper said incredulously.

"So, let me get this straight, you met each other because you bumped into each other outside because of a failed delivery? That is the most cliché thing anyone has ever told me!" Danny said while he munched on a bacon strip. Their big breakfast was splayed out the breakfast bar. Piper and Alex sat beside each other while Danny sat at the opposite side.

"Mmmmhmmm." Alex said as she drank her coffee.

"And you've met, Cal?" Danny asked Alex.

"Uhhmm. Kind of. He saw me collapse." Alex shrugged trying to make light of the situation. Piper rolled her eyes at Alex. "I'm sorry about Cal…" Alex said with her voice barely above a whisper looking at Danny with sad eyes. Alex knew that Danny was as sad as Piper about it but didn't push further. The blonde man shook his head and gave Alex a sad smile as if dismissing the thought and then he spoke up, slightly changing the topic.

"You better have surgery ASAP, Alex for you to avoid more collapses. It's not nice if your body goes through that process repeatedly." Danny warned. Danny is a doctor in Colorado and he specializes as an anesthesiologist and is currently practicing surgery.

"Oh gosh. I have two blondes bossing me around!" Alex says laughing. "Can't wait for our kids, Pipes!" Alex says with a huge doze of sarcasm but, Piper knows that how Alex could be at times. Her heart fluttered upon Danny's genuine concern for her, but she just wanted to make light of the situation.

"Talking about kids already, huh? I see." Danny grinned at Piper and Alex. Piper shook her head and returned the smile, not wanting to talk about it just yet.

"She's going to have it after her game tomorrow." Piper says chuckling.

"Kids?!" Danny asked with utter shock.

"No! The surgery!" Piper said mirroring Danny's shock and then exploding into a fit of laughter. She missed her brother.

"Yeah, the surgery." Alex chuckled and then continued talking. "But, really though, thanks Danny. I will be having my surgery the day after tomorrow. You should come to the game." Alex offered him a smile while taking a sip from her coffee cup.

"I wouldn't miss it. Piper here has told me how 'hot Alex is while playing basketball'." Danny chuckles whilst shaking his head. "I still can't believe you didn't tell me you are dating a woman. I thought Alex is a man all along!" Danny said chuckling.

"Well, look how you're being wight now! I'm fehhereety sure you'd be worse over the phown or over Fayffebook, ashking me for deeetailshh." Piper said with her mouth full of sweet syrupy waffles.

"Way to go being very modest in front of your girlfriend." Danny teases. Alex laughs and stuffs her mouth with sausages, eggs and a piece of bread.

"I cuuhhhn doo vworse vhan vhat." Alex says while having a hard time chewing all the food she stuffed in her mouth. Danny and Piper burst out in laughter. A comfortable silence envelope them before Alex spoke up.

"I wish I've met Cal." Alex shrugged saying it to no one in particular. When Piper and Danny looked at her with sad eyes which Alex obviously knew was due to them missing their brother, she tried to make light of the situation. "Pipes always tells me how he's the fun one." Alex chuckles. She just met Danny, but she feels like they've known each other for years like friends who haven't seen each other for a long time, but she knew that it was due to the fact that he is Piper's brother who protected him when their parents weren't there to support her. And she is very much thankful for that. Danny's eyes widened at Alex and then at Piper whose mouth was agape not believing her girlfriend snitching her out to her brother.

"I mean don't get me wrong… You're fun but I could use a more fun one." Alex teases and gives Danny a genuine smile which gives away her teasing.

"Hey!" Piper says towards Alex giving her a playful smack on the arm. Danny is now currently chuckling at this as well.

"I wish you've met him too, though. We never really get along always but Piper's always our glue." Danny says sincerely smiling.

"So, Danny…" Alex started. She needed answers. "I mean… Don't get me wrong again. I like that you are here despite the fact that I thought of you as a murderer trying to murder Piper and I with our own serrated bread knife earlier…" Piper and Danny burst out in laughing once again but, Alex continued.

"What brings you here in New York?" Alex asked sincerely. Piper looked at Alex and then at Danny feeling stupid as to why she didn't ask Danny that certain question in the first place. She was just glad to have Danny here with them. She genuinely missed her older brother.

"Yeah, Dan. I mean I like you here too. I missed you so much. But, apart from the visit, what brings you here? Colorado is kind of far from here it's not like it's just in Connecticut." Piper asked trying to make a point.

"Well, I thought I would surprise you, hence the surprise visit. I called you this morning when no one was answering at your door it turns out you moved in here already." Danny stated and then continued. "So, as you know, I am practicing surgery and I was sent by my hospital to do research in here. In your hospital actually." Danny smiled to that of which Piper smiled back at.

"That's great! Maybe I'll see you in the hospital when you do research there. Until when are you staying? And where are you staying? Piper asked.

"You can stay here if you want." Alex offered and then looked at Piper for approval to that of which the blonde nodded to. Danny smiled at the couple.

"Thanks, but since I was sent here, my employer paid for everything even the lodging at the hotel a block away from BVGH." Danny smiled and continued. "I don't know until when I will be staying but, it could go for weeks even a month."

They talked about everything that they've been currently doing. Danny learned that Alex owns a coffee shop and he asked how Piper is doing at the hospital. They caught up with each other's lives as Danny revealed that he is planning to propose to his girlfriend of seven years but is still thinking if he should push through with it. He is obviously doubting it. Danny and Piper argued about not doing it or doing it until they hear a knock on the door.

"I'll get it." Alex said standing up.

"Nicky! What are you doing here?" Alex asked from the door. Before the raven-haired woman stepped to the side to let her best friend in, Nicky let herself in by pushing Alex to the side. The taller woman felt Nicky's nerves radiating from her.

"I need to see Chapman." Nicky said walking inside. "Chapman!" Nicky shouted to call out and rushed towards the kitchen where she could smell their food. Alex was sure that she would also sit down to eat.

"Come in! Welcome to our home!" Alex says sarcastically looking at Nicky who was already inside the house while she was still by the door holding it open. Alex was confused when Nicky stopped on her tracks and turned back to face Alex.

"What? Why'd you stop? Chapman's inside." Alex said with wide eyes now confused. Nicky's eyebrow shot up in question.

"She's not there in the kitchen naked, is she? I can't afford a threesome now, you know." Nicky asked with all seriousness and worry etched in her face with a glint of a humorous sexual innuendo. She was a mess. Alex's eyes widened in what Nicky said, shut and locked the door and walked towards Nicky, rushing, grabbing a fistful of her wild hair and just pulling it one time to surprise the shorter woman.

"Ow! What was that for?!" Nicky said rubbing her head and then chuckling.

"For thinking about Piper naked or even thinking that we would invite you to bed!" Alex said annoyed at her best friend, but she still loves her regardless. "Besides, as much as I want her naked now, I can't." Alex says with her voice lower in volume. Nicky let out a chuckle and the spoke up.

"Ohhh. Trouble in paradise?" Nicky asked still rubbing that part of her head. Alex's eyes rolled.

"No, idiot." Alex said now chuckling at her best friend who was confused. "Just go. She's in the kitchen, unfortunately for you, not naked." Alex says chuckling. Nicky's eyes widened and as if all the worry comes back in her body.

"Okay." Nicky says walking towards the kitchen. "Chapman!"

Nicky was met with two sets of blue eyes and two blonde-haired human beings.

"Yes?" Piper and Danny said in unison. Piper told Danny about Nicky as she heard the wild-haired woman's voice booming from their entrance door.

"Oh…" Nicky said nervously while utter confusion spreads within her. She looked at Piper and then at Danny. "Vause! There's a rare creature in your kitchen. Particularly the one of the opposite gender and I'm pretty sure is not on your list of preference to fuck." Nicky said looking back at Alex who just entered the kitchen and then back at the blondes.

"What the fuck!" Danny laughed hysterically at Nicky's words.

"Nichols, this is my brother Danny." Piper introduced her brother who offered Nicky a small wave as he was still in a fit of laughter. Alex was shaking her head due to Nicky's words as well.

"Sorry about her, Danny" Alex apologizes for Nicky's mouth. Danny just waved his hands in dismissal saying that everything's cool.

"What brings you here… nervous, Nicky? Are you okay?" Piper notices Nicky's sudden change in demeanor. She went from a woman with color to a woman who looks like she's seen a ghost.

"I need your help…" Nicky says with her mouth shaking. Alex couldn't believe that Nicky was about to have a nervous breakdown anytime soon.

"Sure. With what?" Piper asked concerned. Alex and Danny were also waiting for what is about to happen.

"And you couldn't ask me, your best friend first? You have to ask my girlfriend?" Alex asked trying to make light of the situation, but Piper glared at her and threw a crumpled table napkin at her girlfriend in an attempt to shut her up. Alex's hands raised in surrender.

"Alex. Not the time!" Piper said sternly whilst whisper shouting and then her eyes went back to Nicky that was looking straight back at her.

"For the love of god just say it! We're dying to know what this is!" Alex thought.

"Gosh, what is happening to Nicky? She's never been like this before." Piper thought with utter concern.

"Ohhhh. I love this lesbian drama. Netflix got nothing on this" Danny thought as he watched.

"I need to know what she loves or likes or what she'd prefer. You're her friend and please help me!" Nicky was almost screaming as she rambled in front of everyone.

Alex tried stifling her laughter and eyed Piper who was starting to laugh as well. Danny didn't even try to conceal the laughter and chuckled. They have a clue what she is talking about, but they needed Nicky to tell them. As the three waited in anticipation, finally, Nicky spoke up.

"I'm going to ask Lorna to be my girlfriend and I am so fucking nervous." Nicky confessed.

Just like that Nicky fainted.

Nicky fainting was quickly resolved as they've got a doctor and a nurse in the room She was just carried by Alex and Danny to the couch to lie down and when she started having her consciousness back, was assured by Piper and Alex that everything is going to be okay. To make Nicky feel much better, Piper told Nicky about some facts and things she knew that Lorna would love.

It was 10:30 when Alex finally excused herself to take a shower as she had to go in to work by 11am. She told Nicky that they could go to work together since Nicky is bound to be at Pearl's by 10:00am. She totally forgot she needed to go in since she was nervous about asking Lorna to be her girlfriend. "Lucky me! My boss is my best friend who saw me faint due to a nervous breakdown a few minutes ago." Were Nicky's words.

Piper said that her shift starts at 1pm and Danny said that he will be resting in his hotel room as he went straight to Piper and Alex's house from the airport this morning. Danny insisted on bringing Piper to work as he really missed his little sister.

Alex and Nicky had to go, and Piper didn't care if there were other people in their home. They will do what they want even if it means a minute of making out just to say goodbye to Alex. The raven-haired woman didn't mind either. She liked the display of affection that Piper instills.

They kissed each other goodbye softly and passionately whilst whispering silent promises when they get home that night. A tight hug from the blonde, a sniff of Alex's neck and a kiss on Piper's temple concluded their goodbyes. Nicky rolled her eyes as she waited outside because she knew too well how love-sick Alex is with Piper and vice versa. She was happy to see her best friend that way to say the least.

Danny, on the other hand, didn't find it disturbing. In fact, he was happy for Piper who, he thinks genuinely, deserves to be that happy. He knew all too well how their parents, especially their mother, treated her for choosing nursing as a profession and, in a way, blaming her, for Cal's death. "She deserves this. She deserves better. She deserves to be happy." Cal thought.

They said their goodbyes and they let the day play out itself.

Piper is currently in the hospital at the nurse's ward busy plotting visits and taking notes on her new and old patients' records. She was delighted that one of her patients, who has been there for already about a month is due for release. She was glad that she had the same shift as Lorna's and she was the reliever of Poussey meaning, she won't be able to bump into Larry anytime soon. Well, except by the end of her shift wherein he will be Piper's reliever.

Piper was preparing her caddy when Dr. Smith, Alex's doctor and her boss, approached her.

"Hey, Nurse Chapman, did you get the acknowledgement letter from UCSF Medical Center? It should be in your mail." The doctor asked. Piper's eyes scrounged in confusion.

"Uhm… I didn't send any application, doc. I'm really happy here in BVGH." Piper said cheerily.

"Oh, I told you I would submit one for you. I referred you to the UCSFMC. I know you told me way before that you wanted to experience working at one of the top Hospitals in the US." Dr. Smith said simply.

"Yes, Dr. Smith, but, it's different now. I don't want to leave Brooklyn Ville." Piper said, but still considering what the doctor said but she didn't want to move. Moving meant that she would leave Alex behind. She found her one true love and she won't even dare to leave her anywhere.

"Well, you can still think about it though." Dr. Smith says smiling. Piper loved his sincere intentions, but she didn't want to explain further that she didn't want to apply for employment to any other hospitals most especially when she is up for promotion at BVGH. Piper offered him a kind smile.

"Thank you, Dr. Smith." Piper smiled.

"Okay, I will be making rounds now." The doctor said and walked away.

Piper was left thinking about the doctor said. Maybe if she would consider, she would ask Alex to come with her. But, this is Alex's home. New York is her home. Would Alex even consider moving for her? She shook her head to let the thoughts go. She knew she needed to talk to Alex about this but dismissed the thought. She would talk about it after Alex's surgery. She didn't want to cause more stress for her girlfriend. As if on cue, she received a text message.

From Alex:

A: Hey. How's work treating you?

P: Good so far. You?

P: Can't wait for tonight. I'm still going to choose which jersey of yours to wear for tomorrow's game!

A: I bet you'll look hot in it ;) I'll help you choose. We have a new jersey for tomorrow's game.

A: Want me to cook for tonight or want any take-out?

A: Work's okay. No silly customers giving me red -velvet muffins.

Piper had to chuckle to this. Alex liked how red-velvet tastes she just doesn't like the fact that it is red and that the main flavor is chocolate-ish. She said she could've just ordered a chocolate muffin.

P: I'm feeling… Greek take out. I can bring some on the way home. How does that sound?

P: Okay good. No one to be possessive about. ;)

A: Sounds perfect.

A: See you by 7pm?

P: Yes, you will.

P: Gotta go make rounds. Love you. Xx

A: Love you. Xxo

"You literally look like a love-struck teenager there, Chapman." Lorna giggled whilst announcing her presence. She saw Piper blush upon typing on her phone and the short brunette knew exactly why. Piper blushed some more as she shook her head to conceal her blush, leaving to make rounds.

Alex brought home her favorite corn muffin and a banana walnut muffin for Piper for their movie munchies after their Greek take-out dinner. She was holding a paper back on her left as she walked home from Pearl's.

On the way to their house, she passed by Piper's old house, three houses away from their current house and collected all the mail for Piper. Alex wasn't one to open mails that aren't hers, so she didn't even look at the envelopes because she knew that those were Piper's to open.

When she got home, she got her own mail and went inside the house, removed her shoes and placed Piper's mails on the table by the foyer so that Piper could skim through it. She sat down by the chair in the foyer and started opening her mail without looking at what it was. "Why would I still look at the front if I would open it anyway." Was what she said one time when Piper asked her why she didn't look at the front of her mails. "Well because sometimes, mailmen make mistakes too. You don't want to end up opening someone else's letters!" Was what Piper said to Alex, but that didn't stop Alex.

Alex received a mail from an insurance company that is advertising lots and other commercial spaces. "Throw away." She opened a mail for their electricity bill. She studied it and was impressed that their electricity bill was surprisingly lower than the one she had the previous month. "Those power-saver lamps worked!" She made a mental note of telling Piper about it later. The third mail that she opened was from the jewelers that she visited the other day. "Hide this one. Piper can't see this. At least not yet. She's gonna freak out." She placed the mail at the bottom most drawer of their mail table by the foyer where Piper's mails were on top of the table so that Piper could see it when she comes in.

The fourth mail she opened was an unusual one with a UCSF logo on it. She started reading it thinking that it might be one of those advertising letters inviting their kids to go to that University. What Alex didn't notice was that it wasn't her mail and it is from the University of California, San Francisco, Medical Center. She opened it and unfolded the piece of paper as she started reading it.

Dear Ms. Chapman,

We want to inform you that we have received your application from two weeks ago to be one of the head nurses here at University of California, San Francisco Medical Center.

We have viewed your credentials and achievements and we are very pleased to say the least.

Thank you for your application and please wait for a mail that would confirm your employment with us.

Thank you very much once again!

Sincerely,

Dr. Annie Fox MD, MS, PhD

Head Doctor, UCSFMC

As if on cue, a text from Piper came in.

From Piper:

P: Baby, you home?

Alex didn't reply. She didn't notice that she was staring at the letter for about half an hour now. She was glued on the spot not wanting to think about the argument that they will surely have that night. She needed answers about this application.

Alex was awakened from her deep daze when her phone lit up and chirped once again.

From Piper:

P: Alex, you haven't texted since you said you're heading home. I am worried. Are you okay?

Alex's mind is in over-drive and is seething. She didn't know how to approach this topic with the blonde because it isn't even her letter to start with. "Fuck it." Alex thought. She is going to talk about this with Piper. "No more running away from this."

Ultimately, Alex knew that she loves Piper more than anything else and is ready to sacrifice for the blonde. She wouldn't even get to the middle of this with Piper. She will support her all the way if she wanted to move to California. The thing that hurt her the most is the fact that Piper didn't even tell Alex about it. "Doesn't she want me in her future? Doesn't she see me in her future?"

A thousand of questions immediately are created within Alex's mind due to the letter she just read. She wanted to get to the bottom of this. She is disappointed, upset and maybe a little bit angry that Piper didn't even consider telling her about it. She didn't know what to do. She has roughly an hour and a half until Piper comes home. She first decided to reply to Piper's message because she didn't want her girlfriend to worry about her anyway.

A: I'm home. I'm okay.

P: K. Will see you in a bit. Love you.x

A: You too.

Alex thought that her reply might be too straightforward or too cold, but she hopes that Piper didn't think much about it. She knew she needed release and she entered Nicky's name to text her best friend who she knew was at her own home as she left Pearl's earlier than Alex did.

To Nicky:

A: Where are you?

N: At home. What's up?

A: Need release. Need to get high. I dunno.

N: Trouble in paradise?

A: Dunno.

N: Meet me at our spot?

A: Yes please.

With that, Alex packed a bag, left the open letter on the kitchen counter top and a note on top of it for Piper.
