Authors Note: Thank you all for the reviews, once again I do not own any of these characters.
Enjoy!
As Alex heard her name and the voice she had thought she had forgotten was now back and haunting her. She could have easily have told herself it was her imagination, but when she looked to the doorway she knew she had to face reality. The man who had disappointed her for her whole life was now standing at her front door. "Lee?" Alex asked and Piper's head almost snapped back.
"You know him?" Piper asked in shock.
"I would say know him, but I know who he is." Alex told her and she placed Sofia on the ground "Red can you take Sofia outside please?" Alex asked and Sofia went over to Red and went outside.
"Alex can you please tell me what is going on?" Piper asked she could see the emotion in Alex's face, but for once she couldn't tell what she was thinking.
Alex walked over to her wife and the man in her doorway and put her arm around Piper "Pipes this is my dirt bag of a father" Alex told her through clenched teeth and Piper's eyes went wide.
"It is so good to see you Alex" Lee told her and Piper felt the grasp Alex had on her tighten.
"What are you doing here?" Alex asked then quickly asked another question "Actually no, how did you find me?"
"Can I come in? It will be much easier to explain" Lee told her and Alex squinted her eyes. She didn't know what to do, she had met this man once and the first time didn't go the way she wanted, why would this time be any different?
"You do not leave my sight, you walk in and sit down and explain, understand?" Alex asked through clenched teeth and Lee nodded and followed both women into the living room.
"Now talk" Alex demanded once they were seated. "How did you find me?" Alex asked watching Lee's every move.
"I heard the last name Vause on the TV, the court trial. I knew there isn't very many Vause's around, so I decided check." Lee explained.
"Decided to check how?" Alex asked
'I found Piper and I watched her and I saw you with her, as I can see she is your wife, you have done quite well for yourself." Lee told her.
"You found Piper, you mean you stalked my wife to find me, you are really gaining father of the year points over here" Alex told him starting to raise her voice, and Piper placed her hand on her wife's knee.
"Alex you have every right to be upset, I had no right to follow her, and I am sorry if I scared you Piper I just needed to be sure, I just needed to find you Alex." Lee told them while he folded his hands in his lap.
Alex took in a deep breath "You needed to find me, you have never wanted anything to do with me, when I met you that one time you were too busy staring at my chest to want any father daughter relationship with me, so why now?" Alex asked as she took Shania from Piper and walked over to the sliding glass door and called Red over to take her, this wasn't something she wanted Shania around even if she was young.
Once Alex sat back down, Lee started to explain again "I wanted to apologize, I know our first meeting didn't go great, I was higher than a kite Alex. I wasn't expecting to find out I had a daughter, especially not one who looked like you."
"See there it is again, how fucking shocking." Alex scoffed.
"Alex please listen" Lee begged.
"And why the fuck should I, after all these years now you want something to do with me, you want to apologize, well where were you all those years ago? You left my mother with nothing; she had to work four jobs while you were off too busy fucking and getting high." Alex snapped.
"And I can't argue with you there, but please I want to get to know my daughter, and make up for lost time. I am not the same person Alex, I have changed, please all I asking for is a chance to give us a chance." Lee tried to tell her.
"No, after all these years, you have failed me so many times in my life, what makes you think I believe that you have changed." Alex snapped back at him trying to keep her emotions in check.
Lee stood up and pulled a chip out of his pocket "I have been clean for the last two years Alex, please give me a chance, and give us a chance. Let me be a part of your life, let me know what it means to be a father" Lee told her as he sat back down.
Alex sat there for a while thinking, and Piper rubbed her hand up and down her back. Alex didn't know what to do, "Do I trust the man who did nothing but fail me, and give him a chance. Or do I shut him out of my life completely and never know what it might be like to have a father." Alex thought to herself.
After a few more minutes of silence Alex took in a deep breath and began to speak "I don't know why I am doing this, maybe it is the little girl still inside me wishing she had her father, and that maybe just maybe you are different from the man you have become to me. You get one chance, one chance and that's it. You blow it then it's over."
Lee nodded and Alex could see from the corner of her eye Piper smiling slightly over the decision she had made, "Thank you Alex, that is all I can say." Lee told her.
"And if I catch you stalking my wife again I will break your neck" Alex warned in hostile tone.
Lee nodded and stood up once again and walked over to Alex and Piper "I think it's time we have a proper introduction, I am Lee Burley and Alex I am your father." Lee told them as he held out his hand.
Alex took a deep breath and stood up herself and shook the man who is her father hand. "I am Alex Vause and Lee I am your daughter." Alex told him and she took Piper's hand and pulled her up to her. "And this is my wife, Piper Vause." Alex added and Piper shook his hand.
"Alex I need to ask because I need to know." Lee started to speak but then stopped and took in a breath of air before he continued "How is your mother?" Lee asked and Alex could feel her eyes start to tear and Piper squeezed her hand.
"She died" Alex whispered softly as if the words coming out of her mouth were poison.
"Oh shit" Lee mumbled "I am so sorry" Lee told her not knowing what to say next.
"Yeah" Alex whispered and walked into the kitchen.
"I'll be right back" Piper told him "Don't move" Piper added as she followed her wife into the kitchen and saw her standing at the counter. Piper walked up behind her and wrapped her arms around her waist and laid her head against her back. "You okay baby?" Piper asked in a hushed tone.
Alex turned in her arms and held on to her wife and started to cry "God Pipes I don't know" Alex sobbed and Piper held her tightly.
"I can't say I know what you're going through or what you are feeling because I don't, but I am here for you." Piper whispered and Alex pulled back and dried her eyes. "I think that might be the fifth time you have cried in front of me" Piper said with a smile.
"Shut up your mother is the one that taught me that crying isn't a sign of weakness but instead a sign on strength." Alex told her with a smile.
"My mother?" Piper asked and Alex nodded "Well you know she will help you through this too." Piper told her as she placed a kiss on her wife's lips.
"Thanks Pipes, I don't know what I would do without you." Alex whispered against her lips while she rested her forehead against Piper's.
"I am your rock, and you are mine" Piper whispered with a smile.
"That you are Piper Vause that you are" Alex told her back with a smile before she went back into the living room.
"I know this is probably too much for you right now Alex, I am sure you are overwhelmed. I will leave if you like, I know you have a family to tend to." Lee told her standing up from his chair.
"Yes you are right this is overwhelming, and I don't want to introduce you to our children until I know you are going to fuck me over yet again" Alex told him and Lee nodded.
"I respect that but one thing before I go, can we have coffee sometime this week?" Lee asked then quickly added "If you are up for it"
"I will think about it" Alex told him as she picked up a pad of paper and a pen and scribbled down her cell phone number. "I don't' know where it is right now, so can you write down yours?" Alex asked him and Lee nodded and took the pad and the pen.
"I'll be in contact" Alex told him with a slight smile.
"I appreciate that, it is really nice to meet you Piper, and so good to see you Alex and I don't know if you know this or have been told this but you look just like your mother" Lee told them both and Alex smiled at him as she watched him leave the house.
As the front door shut, Alex fell back on the couch and pulled Piper with her "Why is it we can never have a calm life?" Alex asked with a smile.
"Because calm would be boring" Piper told her
"That is right, but I think we both have had enough adventure for one life time." Alex told her and Piper laughed "What is so funny?" Alex asked
"You Alex Vause, will never get tired of adventure. Don't lie" Piper teased as they heard their little girl come running into the house.
"Mommy Mommy, I found you cell phone" Sofia yelled and Alex sat up taking Piper with her.
"You what, where?" Alex asked in shock
"In the backyard it was by the table" Sofia told her while she walked over to her mother's and crawled between them as she gave Alex her phone. "Who was that man?" Sofia asked.
"Someone Mommy knows" Alex told her
"Is he a bad man?" Sofia asked "Is that why you sent us in the backyard?" Sofia quickly asked.
"I don't know honey, he was a bad man, but he says he changed" Alex told her.
"Well you should give him a chance Mommy, people do change." Sofia told her and Alex smiled down at her.
"Your right sweetheart sometimes people do." Alex told her and knew that her daughter had a point, she had painted a picture of who her father was but now here he was trying to get to know her and she knew it wouldn't be a good example for her children if she didn't give the man a chance.
