February 14-Valentine's Day

"Al I swear to god I'm not letting you take me out like this. I look horrible in everything I try on, my feet hurt, my back hurts, I just...ugh I'm not fit to go out tonight!"

Piper fought me all day when I told her I was taking her out tonight for Valentine's Day. She was 7 and a half months pregnant and her bump really grew in the last month. I caught myself staring at her all the time.

The changes this pregnancy did to her body were amazing in my opinion. Her tits were huge and her ass filled out but still she was always a small and she made the most adorable pregnant woman. The way her bump stuck out and the way she always rested her hands against it. I loved everything motherhood was bringing to my gorgeous wife.

"Alex... are you even listening to me! I look like a whale! Why would you want to be seen with me?"

"Baby..."

"Alex... I swear to god if you say I'm beautiful I'm going to lose it on you..."

"No baby... you're stunning."

"Very funny you play your game so well."

"Baby you're pregnant, and you're 7 and a half months so your belly is going to show. It's adorable and that dress looks sexy. You don't have to wear heels baby."

"Alex you know I fucking love my heels and I want to look good for you."

"You always look good to me baby, clothes on or off, dressy or casual, I don't care you're always beautiful."

"You say the sweetest things Al. So are you going to tell me where we are going?"

"Not a chance baby... bring that long coat though because we might be outside a bit."

I knew Piper was uncomfortable the last few weeks. She was very, very pregnant and things weren't easy for her. She was moody and her sex drive was still out of control. Not that I was complaining I just wanted to give her a night out to relax and what better day than Valentine's Day.

We finished getting ready and I finally got her out of our place and into the car. We drove a short time and I figured I was in the clear and away from Pipers question game.

"Al…."

"Piper if you ask me where we are going I'm going to yell at you."

"You would yell at your pregnant wife babe? Come on just tell me where we are going and why are we so close to the water its cold!"

I stayed silent and kept driving. I pulled up and parked my car before helping my girl out.

"Were here baby."

"I see that. Where is here though baby? A boat dock?"

"Yes baby a boat dock. And this is my friend Salvatore."

"Good evening ladies! Alex so good to see you! This is your wife Piper?"

"Hey Sal, yes this is Piper and this I motioned to her belly is our future attorney!"

"Oh the little one is going to follow mommy's line of work huh?"

"I hope so but I'll give them the option to do as they wish. Anyways are we all set for this evening Sal?"

"We are! Happy Valentine's Day to you both, come aboard and enjoy the evening. Dinner will be up shortly until then feel free to walk around as we exit the port."

"Thanks Sal."

I watched Pipers eyes go wide as she heard the words exit the port come from Sal's mouth. We were indeed boarding this gorgeous yacht and heading out for the evening.

"Alex, you're taking me on a yacht, in the middle of February for Valentine's Day?"

"Yeah baby, it's a little cold but when we eat we will be inside and there's several areas of the boat that are heavily heated. If you don't want to go I understand and we can do something else I just wanted to give you something special."

I was cut off. Piper moved in and her lips were on mine in seconds. She kissed me softly and wrapped her arms around me the best she could. I felt her bump against my abs and my hands instantly reached to place my hands there. The kiss lasted several minutes before we pulled away.

"This is perfect baby. I can't wait and our baby can't wait either. Do you feel that?"

"Oh my god yes! She's kicking away! She's excited for this boat ride too! Happy Valentines baby, I love you and I wouldn't want to spend my night with anyone but you."

"Still convinced we have a little Piper in this belly huh?"

"I can dream baby."

We boarded the boat and walked around on the deck for a while. It was chilly but we kept our coats on and every so often we passed an area where heat was blowing to keep us warm. The boat was gorgeous and Sal decorated it in such an elegant form. There were white lights wrapped around the boat railings. Rose petals were spread all over the deck and soft music was playing. The view of the city sky line was gorgeous at night and I could tell it was taking Pipers breath away.

"Al this is so gorgeous! I love you."

"Anything for you baby. Come on lets go to the table Sal set up. Dinner should be served in a few minutes."

We made our way inside and the table was set with gorgeous place settings and candles everywhere. The table had a small bouquet of red and white roses in the center, Pipers favorite combination. I was silently thanking myself that Sal remembered all the little details I had discussed with him.

"Ladies! Take you seats, I have fresh garden salads coming out for you as we speak. What would you ladies like to drink this evening? I understand we are expecting so let me get these wine glasses out of your way."

"Can I just have a lemonade please?"

"Yes mam, and for you miss?"

"I'll have the same thank you."

"So Al, you set this all up. Sal is a client of yours right?"

"Yeah we represented him a while back and he still uses us if he needs anything. He got mixed up in some money laundering stuff a while back and everything was dropped thankfully. I knew the prosecutor was full of shit so I got Sal to roll on someone else and he walked away clean. He's truly a good guy."

" Well how nice of him to let us use this boat baby. This is amazing. Look out the window! The water is so pretty and seeing the city lit up at night is so beautiful."

"Only the best for you baby. Here open this little present baby."

"Oh only if you open yours at the same time!"

We exchanged our gifts and of course Piper fell in love with the diamond bracelet I got her. She loved her jewelry and this one made her light up more than ever before. Piper got me a gorgeous necklace with a heart and lifeline pulse symbol on it. I loved the design and had mentioned getting it tattooed on me in the future with Piper and our future children's names close by. To symbol that they were the ones who kept my heart beating.

"Do you like it Al? I know it's not a tattoo but?"

"I love it Piper. And the tattoo thing can come down the road. This is gorgeous and I swear I'll wear it every single day."

Our salads came out and the main dishes came out shortly after. We enjoyed the meal and conversed throughout. It was so nice to get away from the city hustle and bustle and enjoy a quiet evening together. The food was phenomenal and the night couldn't have turned out any better. I got to spend an evening out on a beautiful yacht, with a beautiful woman.

We danced on the deck under the stars enjoying our time together. The music was just right and everything was so romantic.

"Happy Valentine's Day baby, I'm sorry I'm a shitty dancer tonight this belly gets in the way."

"I love you Pipes, this belly is going to bring us so much joy in a short time. I can't wait for our child to be born and our family to grow. I never knew I wanted this lifestyle but I'm glad it's coming and I'm glad it's with you. You are the one for me baby, Happy Valentine's Day."

We ended our night on a high note making love all evening once we got home. Piper was downright primal once we got through the door. She slammed me against the wall and ripped my clothes off. She didn't give me a second to react just pushed me to the bed and fell between my legs. Piper went down on me for what felt like hours before I returned the favor. The sex was amazing and I felt so close and so connected to my wife.

February 18th Baby Shower Day

"Baby! Todays the day! It's your baby shower."

I stared back at Alex. I hated when she made everything about me. She always referred to things as mine instead of ours and with my hormones I was ready to strangle her for it.

"Alex this is our baby shower. Not just mine. This is for both of us."

"Well I know babe but you're the one who is pregnant."

"And you're also this child's mother baby. You are in this just as much as I am and this is for us. If you refer to it as mine one more time I just might slap you."

"Jeez pipes, little harsh don't ya think?"

I took a deep breath and let it out with a huff. My hormones were crazy and I was coming up on being 8 months pregnant. I was huge and as cute as being pregnant was I was done. I was totally over this. Over the mood swings, the cravings, the constant kicking this child was doing to my organs. I was totally over it and ready for this baby to come out.

I turned and looked at Al and busted into tears. I was so mean and treating her so bad the last few days.

"Alex! I'm sorry." I sobbed

"Baby…Pipes…hey come here."

I walked to my wife and let her wrap her arms around me and hold me close. Alex's arms made everything feel better. I felt warm and safe and life nothing could go wrong when my wife held me close.

"It's all okay baby. I know you're tired and I know you're sick of all the changes going on in your body. We're almost there only a month left!"

"This baby better not take a month to come out Alex. It better come out like now! Today!"

I chuckled at Pipers tantrum. She was almost a week shy of 8 months but certainly not ready to deliver. Her emotions were getting the best of her.

"I love you Pipes and he or she will be here before you know it. Let's get ready and then we have to be at your Dads for the shower."

"I can't believe Diane, my dad, and Polly are throwing this baby shower. I'm so glad it's at my Dads house though so I can be comfortable."

"Me too baby, I know they catered the food so we won't have to do anything but enjoy it!"

"Were going to get so many gifts, were taking the SUV right?"

"Yeah baby lets finish getting ready so we can be on time today and not have to deal with a raging Polly."

"Oh fuck Polly, I'm the one whose pregnant, only I get to rage."

I lost it at Pipers words. She was so cute when she got upset. She let the swear words fly which was unusual for her and her rants were adorable. We finished getting ready and made our way to her Dads.

"Girls you made it!" Bill opened his arms and welcomed us inside.

Most of the guest arrived already and were mingling amongst each other. I spotted Nicky, Lorna, Taystee, Poussey, and some office staff right away. Polly was setting up a few more items and the rest of Pipers family consisting of Aunts, and cousins were spread out at various tables carrying out various conversations.

"We made it and I'm starving Dad…When are we eating."

"Ooooo Someone is a cranky mommy today aren't we? Diane boomed with laughter.

"Hi Diane, yes I'm cranky. I'm tired, I'm hungry, I'm waddling all over and I just need to sit down."

" Hi Mom, Pipes has been crazy moody, just go with the flow and do what she says so you don't end up on the shit list like I have today. And please no one make her cry because I can't handle anymore tears today, she loses it over the smallest things."

"Oh Alex, I understand when your this far along you're ready to just throw the towel in. Just be there for her Alex. This is going to be a fun day. The food is almost ready, the caterers will serve us and then we have games, and presents to do with everyone."

"Thanks mom it looks like you guys worked really hard on this."

"We did and we just want you guys to enjoy it so go mingle and ill check on the food."

"Alex! Where are you?"

"Right here baby, are you ready to go say hi to everyone."

"Well I'm not going to stand in the foyer Alex. Take my hand and let's go greet everyone so we don't seem like rude ass people."

"Yes mam."

I took Pipers hand and we greeted everyone. We took multiple photos, everyone wanted to get their hands on her bump. The baby was really active today, kicking and flipping all around. I could tell it was making Piper uncomfortable and that's probably why she was so cranky. They decorated the whole house with different things. Someone made a giant diaper cake and had various small gifts attached to it. They chose to use a lot of yellow since we didn't know the gender of the baby yet. It all looked nice and I was impressed. There was a really cool dessert table set up with chocolate covered pretzels and candies in the shape of baby feet and ABC blocks. Cupcakes and cake pops were sprawled out as well.

"So are you guys going to tell us the gender yet? We are all dying to know!"

"No were not because we don't even know. We never opened the envelope and we will find out when we deliver."

"I can't believe you guys didn't open the envelope. I could not wait to find out and I was thankful I knew ahead of time with Finn. I got to buy everything ahead of the time and it was so much easier."

"Well Polly I like surprises… I don't know why you're judging me on what I do with my child. Alex and I want to wait. Is that a fucking problem?"

"Whoa Piper, I was just making a comment I didn't mean anything by it." Polly looked away and I could tell Pipers words stung her.

"Does anyone else have some negative comments to share today? Come on I would like to hear them all right now please."

"Baby… come here."

I pulled piper into the other room and make sure she was okay.

"Pipes are you okay. What's going on today?"

"I'm sorry Al. I just I'm done being pregnant. This baby is doing karate on my organs today and I swear hes moving more than ever."

"You just said he...convinced we have a boy huh?"

"I'm telling you we have a boy Al. He destroying my body from the inside out right now and when I push him out my pussy is going to be ruined. You're never gonna look at me the same and you're not going to wanna have sex with me. I'm not going to bounce back and be that hot blonde ever again. I'm a whale and I'm so upset. And I can't work out and it's killing me. Ughhh!"

Piper was losing it. Clearly today was a bad day to have a baby shower but how would we have known what Pipers mood was going to be that day.

"Pipes. You're beautiful. I love you. I love you before the pregnancy, I've loved you through the pregnancy, and I will love you after. I will love all of you. Your body is gorgeous and I don't know why you're so worried about it. And your pussy….well let's just say I could never get sick of that and even after the baby I'm gonna want you. Don't worry about that."

"Alex I'm just emotional. I'm so sorry I'm being a bitch and I was seriously such a bitch to Polly I need to apologize."

"I agree because she looked ready to cry. You got to make that right baby. You said the baby is moving a lot are you okay or do we need to go to the doctor?"

"I'll be fine I just have gas on top of the movements so it hurts a little bit more. And I'm fucking starving I need to eat."

"Oooo is my baby getting hangary?"

"I hate when you say that."

"You totally are! Your hangary baby! You need to get some food in that belly!"

"Okay yes I'm hangary, where the hell did you come up with that term."

"I heard it somewhere, it's funny, and it's fitting. "

We went back to the party and Piper patched things up Polly. Those two were so close it was a quick fix and like water under the bridge. We ate our food and relaxed with our guests. It was time for presents and Piper finally let her mood turn around. We opened present after present. We got two car seats, a carrier, a stroller, a changing pad, spare bedding, picture frames, clothes, a diaper genie, kitchen stuff, bottles, bath toys, and so much more. Our friends and family went all out. The gifts were piling up and I couldn't believe how much stuff we actually got from everyone.

"You guys. Piper and I can't thank you enough for joining us today. Thank you for all these wonderful gifts and most of all for taking time out of your day to celebrate with us….."

"Aleeeexxxxxxx."

I glanced to my left and saw piper's hands on her belly. The look on her face was full of pain and discomfort."

"Baby! What's wrong?"

"Alex I'm in pain! I feel sharp pain and pressure…ughhhh babe."

I looked at Pipers hands and they were wet, her dress was wet a mix of fluid and what could easily be blood.

"What do I do Pipes. Tell me what to do!"

"Hospital. Now. Alex! Somethings wrong!"

"Fuck Polly call an ambulance!"

"Alex take me yourself, the hospital is 3 miles from here an ambulance will take too long were not as close being at my dad's. Help me Alex, make my pain go away please."

"Okay. Let's go baby I got you."

I picked Piper up in my arms and carried her to the car. Nicky jumped in the front seat and I was never more grateful that she was there.

"I'll drive you sit with Piper!" Lorna climbed into the front seat as well and said that Bill and Diane would meet us there once they cleared everyone out of the house. We left in a hurry and our guests were probably terrified at what was going on.

"Talk to me pipes, what's going on."

"Alex I just have so much pain. Make it stop, take it away. I'm bleeding this can't be good."

My heart was breaking at Pipers words. She had tears streaming down her face and a death grip on my shirt. She was squirming in my arms and I knew she was hurting."

"Were only a mile away Alex, few more minutes. I'll take you right to the door. Lorna can jump out with you and help you get Piper inside."

"Thanks guys!"

"Alex, something has to be wrong with the baby. It's too early for me to deliver. I'm so sorry, I'm such a failure."

"Hey! None of that! Everything is going to be fine baby. We're almost there just hold onto me I got you baby."

We made it to the hospital and bolted inside. They got Piper into a wheel chair and wheeled her to a room. They pushed me to the side of the room and swarmed her connecting various machines and getting things hooked up. Several minutes went by before the doctor spoke to me.

"Mam were taking your wife in for an emergency c section."

"What? Why? It's too early for her to deliver isn't it?"

"Well the placenta is starting to detach. We need to get the baby out and stop the bleeding in your wife."

"Is she going to be okay and is the baby going to be okay?"

"As long as I get the bleeding to stop then she will be fine. Sometimes we can't and then we have to do a hysterectomy to get the bleeding to subside. It shouldn't come to that if we act quickly. I assume you want to be in the room for the c section, follow this nurse get changed quickly and she will bring you to the room where we take your wife. Get ready your baby is coming in a matter of minutes!"

The doctor turned away and they wheeled piper down the hall.

"Holy Fuck!"

"Mam let's get you changed and lets go have a baby. Your wife is going to be fine! This happens all the time and you guys have the best doctor helping you out today."

"It's just so early and this happened in the worst way!"

"It's not too early, she's 34 weeks so things will be fine. The baby may be a little small but everything should be developed. Stop worrying lets go."

"Can someone go tell my family what is going on as well?"

"I'll send a nurse to the waiting area."

I changed quickly and next thing I knew I was standing in a room full of medical staff. There was equipment everywhere and bright white lights. The room smelled funny to me, it was clean and pure.

" So Piper is going to be awake for the c section, as soon as the baby is out we may have to put Piper out and get the bleed under control. The bleeding has slowed down which tells me the placenta did not fully detach which is a good sign for us. It might be a simple stitch one the baby is out."

I stared down at my wife and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Alex this is not how I wanted this to go. You know how bad I wanted a natural birth." Piper was sobbing.

"I know baby but things happen. We're going to meet our baby, our family is about to become bigger and I'm right here baby. I love you and I'm not going anywhere."

"I love you so much Alex. Take care of our baby."

"Baby you're going to be just fine, stop talking silly."

"I couldn't imagine going through this without you by my side Al."

"I'm right here, how are you feeling?"

"Better whatever they did took the pain level down tenfold, I just want to meet our child."

The doctors got started and I held pipers hands as they started the c section. Piper was pissed that she was now going to have a scar on her belly. She loved her toned stomach and this added fuel to the fire. I leaned down and kissed her lips trying to make her as comfortable as possible.

A few minutes went by and the room was filled with screams. The baby was out and belting its little lungs out.

"Well ladies we have a handsome baby….Boy!"

"I fucking knew it Al! You so lost!"

"Oh my god Piper we have a son!"

The doctor held the baby up so we could see him before they took him over to the nursing station to do their thing.

They didn't have to put piper out the doctor repaired the damage and said we could discuss it later when Piper was taken to recovery. We stayed there while they finished taking care of Piper and the nurse called me over to cut the cord.

"Someone take a picture please!" Piper shouted.

One of the nurses videoed me cutting the cord and the other one snapped a few photos. We had a really awesome team in the room and they made everything so much easier. The stress was gone and we had a beautiful son. I cut the cord and stared down at our gorgeous boy. My heart felt full and I couldn't believe he was finally here.

"Ladies your son is small, but seems healthy. He weighed in at 5 Pounds 13 ounces and he's 18.7 inches long. A little smaller since he was born early. Born February 18th at 5:27 p.m."

They laid the baby down on Pipers chest once he was cleaned up and the site of my wife holding our son made my heart fall to pieces. I never thought I could fall in love again after marrying Piper but honestly seeing her holding our son made me fall all over again.

"Alex, he's gorgeous. Look at this blonde hair! And these blue eyes."

"Oh yeah baby I'm so thankful he had a head full of hair. Those bald babies are so ugly."

"God Al he's so tiny. I don't want to hurt him!"

"I doubt you will do that baby. God I love you so much! Thank you for this, thank you for making us into a family."

"Mm I love you too baby. Can we name this little guy?"

"Which one did you want to go with baby?" Al asked.

"I think the one we talked about Garrett."

"Garrett Alexander Vause?"

"Yes Al, it's perfect!"

We will end here. I totally apologize for the super long delay. Appreciate all the messages and reviews I got. I have been recovering myself and just haven't had time to get my thoughts down. I don't know how I feel about this chapter hopefully it was okay. I'm hoping with the baby born I can move my ideas forward and get this fic rolling again. I went through some writers block big time! Anyways please share your thoughts I love hearing from all of you!
