Chapter 25
A/N: I am sorry for the 2-day delay. Like what I said before, at my work, our weekdays are your weekends! :)
I do not own anything. I just made the story! Enjoy!
The Vauses are now at home ready for their dinner. They are now waiting for their visitors to arrive. Piper is sporting a baby sling carrying Robin and Alex as well carrying Summer. They noticed that their 4-month olds like babbling and observing their surroundings.
"Al, besides them liking to babble, they also like to blow bubbles out of their saliva." Piper says to her wife while chuckling. Alex looked at her wife and saw her chest full of Robin's saliva because the little dark-haired baby kept blowing bubbles out of his saliva against Piper's chest. She immediately laughed at this. Piper rolled her eyes and immediately focused at looking at Summer who was on Alex's sling. She immediately burst out laughing to what she saw. Alex was confused at why Piper was laughing and then looked at Summer whose face is on her chest. The little blonde's mouth was now wide open. It is openly sucking Alex's chest which causes saliva to spread on Alex's shirt.
The women laughed. Alex stepped closer to her wife and gave her a peck on the lips. Piper blushed at Alex's gesture. They were finishing up preparing dinner when the doorbell rang.
"Hmm. Who could that be?" Alex says in a sing-song voice while walking towards the door.
Polly and Finn were the first ones to arrive. "Hi Awix!" Finn says excitedly. Finn is now almost 2 years old. "Can I kiss baby…" Finn tried peeking at who Alex was carrying. "Summer?" Finn finished seeing that it was the little blonde with Alex. Alex crouched for Finn to reach Summer kissing her on the head and then automatically kisses Alex's cheek.
"How are you, Polly?" Alex asks as she stands up. Finn ran inside looking for Piper while he was being followed by Tank.
"I'm okay. We're good." Polly says smiling. "Let me ask how are you guys? It seems like you guys are turning into social media celebrities, huh?" Polly asks chuckling. "It's so cute how they say mommy and mama!" Polly says excitedly. They walked inside towards the kitchen.
Polly saw Finn hugging Piper's legs. "Hey bud! It's nice to see you." Piper greets Finn excitedly. "Pipey! Can I kiss baby Wobin?" Finn asks cutely. Piper smiles and crouches so that Finn can kiss Robin on the head and then Piper on the cheek.
"Hey famous mommy!" Polly yells to Piper. The blonde rolled her eyes but smiles. "We weren't supposed to post that video. We think Nicky posted it. You know, we want to be a good influence on everyone but we also like to have our children's privacy." Piper says nonchalantly.
Polly's eyebrows raised. "Have you actually seen it on Facebook? Or you just assumed that it is posted by Nicky or something?" Polly asks confused.
"Someone from the park showed us earlier because he recognized us while we were having a walk. It has a pretty hefty number of likes and shares already when he showed us that's like what, half an hour after it is posted?" Alex tells Polly the story.
"We told Nicky not to post anything yet coz she was convincing us to post it because, apparently, it is cute for her." Piper says chuckling.
"Well, 1, It IS cute guys! Come on! They are so adorable and both of you make perfect parents to them! 2, It's not Nicky who posted it." Polly confirms while shaking her head. Piper and Alex's eyes widened.
"What?" Alex says shocked.
"Who posted it then?" Piper asks confused. Polly is laughing by this time.
"Carol posted it." Polly says laughing. "I assume you guys didn't see the caption. It says, 'MY ROBIN N MY SUMMER – GRANDCHILDREN' with an all caps!" Polly says laughing. Alex's mouth opened in shock and her head was automatically thrown backwards as she laughs. Piper laughs loudly as well. They find it funny how Carol and, sometimes, Bill try to catch up with the modern age.
"Wait who the hell taught her to use Facebook? Why is she even using that?" Piper asked still laughing.
"She doesn't even use it. When you were still in prison though, Larry wanted to please Carol and so when your mom was asking something about social media, Larry just made her a profile and taught her the basics." Polly says shrugging.
"Well that's okay then." Alex says smiling.
"What do you mean that's okay? How about our family's privacy, Al?" Piper asks confused at why it is okay for her wife.
"Well, Pipes, Carol isn't that showy before, right? And if she is proud of her grandchildren then let her be. If she wants to post it then let her post it." Alex says in a matter-of-factly tone.
"But, we can still tell her how we feel about it, okay?" Alex tells her wife. Piper thought about it for a second and then just nodded in agreement while chuckling.
"Okay, fine. Touché." Piper responded.
The doorbell rang once again, and Alex answered it. Polly and Piper were catching up while Finn played with his toys and Tank. They were 'playmates' according to Finn even though Tank is just lying down the whole time.
"Hey, Vause!" Nicky says excitedly with Sage on a sling attached to her. She was hand in hand with Lorna in the Vause's front door.
"Hey, come on in. "Alex says. Nicky looked at Summer and talked to the little blonde saying how cute she is and then she sees Alex's wet chest.
"Oh my god, Alex. Your chest is dripping with saliva." Nicky says laughing. Alex shook her head as they walk towards where Piper and Polly is.
"She likes openly sucking my chest. If I give her my breast she doesn't want milk, it's just my chest." Alex explains chuckling.
Piper and Alex have set up a 'play date mat' as they call it in the center of the living room. They wanted to leave and observe their babies during tummy time at the mat with different toys surrounding them. They have read that at 4 months, the babies are very observant and listens to everything. Everything is new for them which is why they are still absorbing the sounds and the things around them.
Piper put Robin on the mat. Alex put Summer on the mat and Nicky put Sage as well. They were all having their tummy time. "So, have you thought about my offer?" Nicky asks Alex while Piper is beside Alex. Polly and Lorna were setting up the table for dinner.
"Oh, someone beat you to it already." Alex says laughing.
"What? What do you mean someone beat me to it?" Nicky asks very confused.
"Well, my mom decided that she is proud of her grandchildren and posted it in her FB profile already… And, publicly." Piper says chuckling.
"Oh my god. Okay. Thanks, Carol!" Nicky says looking up as if Carol was at the ceiling. Alex and Nicky laughed at this. The women talked about their babies and just about anything about their kids.

They finished dinner and they put back the babies on the mat. Robin started to whimper softly and then cried. "I'll do it, Al. Just relax there with our friends." Piper says lifting Robin up. "Time for nappy change, babe." Piper talks to her son happily. They went up to the nursery to change Robin's nappy. At this age, Robin and Summer liked grasping stuff. They like holding on to their mothers' shirt, shorts and even their hairs.
While they are being changed on the changing table, they just grab whatever it is that they can around them and this time Robin grabbed the baby powder. "You are such a good boy, aren't you? We are almost done." Piper says in a sing-sing voice to soothe her son. She just finished locking Robin's diaper when Robin decided to squeeze the baby powder towards Piper's face.
A stream of baby powder went directly on Piper's face. "Oh gosh." Piper says with her eyes forced shut because of the powder. "Robin!" Piper says slightly raising her voice. Piper can hear footsteps approaching. The blonde tried to open her eyes and was successful. She looked at who was coming.
"Oh my god! You kind of scared me. What, are you trying to scare our son?" Alex asked laughing at Piper's face. She is carrying a whimpering Summer. She saw the baby powder being held by Robin and then looked at Piper in the eyes. Alex suddenly burst out laughing realizing what just happened.
"He's good at that. Believe me!" Piper says chuckling at her son's ministrations.
Alex's head was thrown behind her as she laughed harder. "Babe, you look like a ghost!" Alex says still laughing while taking out the powder on her wife's face.
"Am I a pretty ghost?" Piper asks smiling.
"The prettiest!" Alex says chuckling. "Why don't you leave Robin here for a while and wipe your face." Alex suggests. "Okay." Piper agrees walking towards the bathroom.
Alex finished changing Summer's diapers when another stream of powder went directly on her face covering the right lens of her glasses, nose and her mouth.
"Oh gosh! Sh… Shake!" She was about to curse but, she didn't want to be told off by her wife. Alex says surprised by the powder from the bottle. She immediately got the powder from Robin's hand and kept it. Robin started to chuckle. Alex repeated what she said. "Shake!" Alex says with emotions. Summer giggled and then Robin followed. "Shake! Sha-…" Alex was cut off by Piper.
"What did I miss?" Piper says wrapping her arms around her wife's waist. Alex was surprised and almost jumped. The women's sudden movements were funny for the babies. They started giggling loudly. Piper looked at Alex's face and laughed loudly knowing what had happened. "Told you he's good with that!" Piper says laughing.

2 months later
"Pipes wake up. Pipes." Alex said in a groggy voice. It was the middle of the night when they heard the baby monitor go off. They already knew the difference between Robin and Summer's cries. "Babe, it's your turn tonight. Summer's crying. Can you get that please?" Alex says groggily. Piper woke up hearing the baby monitor and thought of it as one of those nights when Summer gets hungry in the middle of the night.
"Okay, I'll get it. Go back to sleep." Piper says. She knows that Alex has been going to Diane's a lot lately because there will be an event for the next week. She knew that her wife is tired and needed some sleep.
Piper walked towards the nursery and picked up her daughter. She was shocked when she realized that Summer was burning up. Their kids were six months already and they never really got sick with fever before. This is the first time and, so she is very worried. She could hear Robin whimper as well, but he didn't cry. She tried checking Robin's temperature with the back of her hand. Robin also has fever but not as high as Summer's.
"Alex! Alex! Can you come here, please, babe?" Piper slightly shouted. Alex heard the urgency and vulnerability in Piper's voice, so she immediately stood up and went to the nursery. She saw Piper carrying Summer caressing her head trying to calm her down as she is still crying.
"What's wrong?" Alex asked worried. "Summer is burning up and so as Robin but, not as much as Summer. Piper says trying to compose herself. Alex felt Summer's temperature and is now more worried.
Alex suddenly remembered what she read in a book about baby sickness. She went to the bathroom, washed her hands and went back to stick her finger in Summer's mouth feeling her gums.
"Okay, I got it. They're teething." Alex says calming down. "I can feel the teeth coming out her." She says while still feeling Summer's gums. Summer calmed down a bit. She was soothed by Alex's finger rubbing her gums so, as soon as Alex pulled away, she started crying again.
"We need to buy teethers. Oh no wait, I think Cal gave us some teethers" Piper says trying to remember. Alex is now carrying Robin who is whimpering. She tried calming the little boy down.
"We need to give them painkillers if they don't calm down with the teethers, Pipes." Alex informs her wife. Piper pulls out the teethers from their stash of gift for the babies. They keep a box under the bed with the gifts they received for Robin and Summer. The items under the bed are either duplicates of what they already have, or it is not yet suitable for their twins' current age. It is like a toy box but, not only toys were there even helpful everyday baby stuff.
Piper gave a teether to Alex for Robin and she gave one to Summer. The little blonde started to chew on the teether as if scratching her gums with it. She immediately calmed down while her eyes are closed. Piper put her down in her crib already. Alex did the same. She walked towards Piper.
"Don't worry, they're okay now." Alex says cupping her wife's face and giving her a kiss on the forehead. "Let's go back to sleep. Come on." Alex says holding her wife's hand. They walked towards their room and faced each other lying down on the bed. Piper caressed Alex's cheek. They were both sleepy.
"You are the best mom ever." Piper says sleepily. Alex chuckled lightly. Both of their eyes are closed.
"No, we are the best moms and I love you." Alex says quietly.
"I love you too. Goodnight again." Piper says leaning in to give her wife a kiss on the lips. Alex responded to the kiss.
"Goodnight, babe." The spouses fell into a peaceful slumber.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The Vauses were now waiting for Nicky, Lorna and Sage at Luigi's. They had a weekly or a bi-weekly meeting just to catch up. Nicky is now managing Diane's and Lorna is now managing Popi. Alex and Piper put up to their promise that Nicky can work for Diane's as long as she wants until she finds a job that she likes. Nicky and Alex are also now planning on starting a bar about 4 blocks away from Diane's.
Robin and Summer are looking cute sitting on their twin high chairs. Robin with his thick well-combed hair is wearing a green long-sleeved onesie with rainbow leg warmers and white baby Converses while Summer, whose hair got longer by 2 inches but still shorter than Robin's, is wearing a pink bow headband, pink long-sleeved onesie with rainbow leg warmers and white baby Converses as well. They were holding their teethers and a couple more toys to entertain them.
As fabulous as the babies were their moms. Alex was wearing a light grey v neck under a black leather jacket, black skinny jeans and her favorite motorcycle boots while Piper is wearing a white v neck under a black cardigan, light brown skinny jeans and deep brown Doc Martens boots. If they were seen individually, they wouldn't be pegged for being married. But, seeing them together, people are sure that thy are married as they are proudly sporting their wedding bands at their left hands.
"We should take a selfie, Al. Just the two of us first and then with the kids." Piper says trying to take a selfie with her wife. Alex moved closer to Piper while leaning her head against her wife's. *click* "Okay I'm going to do a burst shot." Piper informs Alex. They posed several poses as Piper takes 5 consecutive shots.
The first photo was Alex and Piper smiling while their heads are leaning against each other. The second one was them sticking their tongue out. Piper was looking at the camera while Alex was looking at her nose because she was trying to reach her nose with her tongue. The third photo was the both of them laughing because of what Alex did on the previous photo. Alex was laughing but her eyes were straight into the camera while Piper was laughing while looking at her wife.
The fourth photo was Alex wrapping her left arm around the blonde's shoulder while one eyebrow is raised as if saying 'she's mine'. Piper just made a funny happy face with both her eyes wide open while smiling widely. The fifth photo is just like the third photo of them laughing except this time, Piper is looking straight into the camera while Alex is looking at Piper. They were laughing at their previous pose. The last photo was the sweetest. It was kind of a candid shot wherein Alex pulled Piper in so that she could kiss the blonde on her cheek with closed eyes while Piper had a face of content while smiling. She just smiled looking at their kids while Alex kissed her cheek.
It was cute and they didn't notice that people recognize who they are. Luigi's is more of a family restaurant and so there are a lot of families in there. A little brunette girl approached them just after they took the last shot.
"Hi. Can I please have your autograph?" The little brunette girl said. Piper looked at Alex.
"Do you want my wife's autograph? She's really awesome." Alex asked the little girl. The little girl nodded. "Yes, please. But, I want yours too Alex." The little girl blushed. They never knew they were this famous because of the picture and the videos. They signed the paper for the kid and the kid left.
"I want to post these three pictures of us. We don't have the kids in the photo anyway, so I guess that's okay, right?" Piper asks her wife. Alex nodded while smiling. Piper posted the photo with their tongues out, the photo where they were laughing while Alex looked at the camera and Piper was looking at Alex, and the last photo where Alex was kissing Piper's cheek while Piper had a look of content smiling. She posted it with a caption. 'Fooling around with the love of my life. Where are you at Nicky Nichols and Lorna Morello-Nichols? #loveislove #lovewins #TheVauses'.
Piper showed Alex and the raven-haired woman laughed when she saw the hashtags. "Do you really need those hashtags, babe?" Alex asked chuckling.
"I don't know. I just copied what Nicky wrote on the first post and then added 'The Vauses' so, we have our own hashtag, you know?" Piper says explaining herself.
"We need to have selfies with the kids this time or else they'll feel bad." Alex says as if it is urgent for them to take a selfie with the kids. She didn't want their kids to feel bad. Piper looked at the kids and they were busy teething on their teethers while entertained with their other got Summer while Piper got Robin. They now have their kids' full attentions. Summer automatically grabbed Alex's hair while Robin grabbed Pipers.
"Okay, ready kiddos?" Piper asks. *click* Their first picture is a cute one. Alex and Piper were smiling with their mouths open showing the camera that their hairs were held hostage by their kids. "I'm going to do a burst again." Piper says. Alex lifts Summer up so that their faces were side to side while Piper did the same. Ever since the night with powder on both the women's faces, Alex noticed that whenever she says the word 'shake' their kids laugh and so that is what she did.
"Shake! Shake!" Alex says to make them laugh and so the burst started. The first photo was everyone smiling. It was Alex, Summer, Robin, and the Piper's heads were almost attached to each other due to closeness. Alex and Piper were looking straight into the camera while the babies were smiling looking at their moms. Robin was looking at Piper while Summer was looking at Alex. The second photo was just a goofy and messy shot. Alex tried reaching for her nose with her tongue again, Summer and Robin were blowing raspberries with their saliva while Piper just laughed at everything. The last photo was the cutest. Alex and Piper decided to kiss their kids. Alex was kissing Summer's cheek while Piper was kissing Robin's cheek. Summer and Robin was sporting gummy grins because Alex said 'shake' three times before the third burst photo.
Once, again, they didn't notice that there are people who took a picture of them while doing the selfies with their kids. As if right on cue, Nicky, Lorna and Sage came.
"What took you so long Nichols'? Alex says chuckling.
"Sorry had to bang the wife." Nicky says nonchalantly. Lorna's eyes widened in shock and slapped her wife on the arm.
"That's for being too honest." Lorna says annoyed but still smiling. Piper and Alex laughed at Lorna's ministrations.
"You know that you had some kind of a paparazzi just moments ago, right?" Nicky says smirking.
"What? We were just taking family selfies." Piper says informing Nicky.
"You realize that you guys are getting famous because of me, right?" Nicky says proudly.
"Lorna can you slap her again for me, please?" Alex says with a straight face. Lorna slaps Nicky.
"One for me too, please" Piper says chuckling. Lorna slapped her wife again. "
Ow! What was that for?" Nicky asked Alex. "Well, we don't want to be famous, Nicky." Alex says laughing.
The twins are back sitting on their high chairs already. "Al, I'll just go to the bathroom. I really need to go badly." Piper says excusing herself from the table. Piper exited the bathroom after going and was stopped by none other than her fucking ex-fiance.
"Piper!" Larry says shocked to see Piper in the same restaurant.
Piper's brain went to over drive. 'Why is he even talking to me? This is the man who tried to kill me. This man is the reason why I had to sleep for two fucking months. Why is he here?' All those questions and statements were thought by her.
"Wow." Piper says sarcastically.
"Hey look Piper, I'm sorry." Larry says totally rambling.
"What?" Piper asks now infuriated. She didn't know what to do.
As if right on cue, Alex saw them. "Pipes, are you okay?" Alex rushed to her wife's side putting her hand around her wife's waist being protective.
"I was just saying sorry." Larry says infuriated that Alex had to interrupt. "Back the fuck off you fucking dyke." Larry tells Alex. Piper launched at Larry pushing him onto the wall.
"You have the guts to say sorry to me but, you talk to my wife that way? What the actual fuck is wrong with you?" Piper asks with flaring nostrils.
"Piper, let's just go. Let him be. He is trying to get into you. I'm okay. He didn't hurt me, I promise." Alex says trying to calm Piper down.
"Okay wait… wait… I'm sorry. I really am. I don't know what ran through my mind when I tried killing you. I didn't mean to do that." Larry says sincerely. Alex pushes Piper away from Larry gently as she walks closer to Larry.
"If you try to hurt her or our children or any of our family, I'll make sure you'll regret it, okay? We want peace and quiet, Larry! Just leave us alone please." Alex says seriously.
"Yeah leave us alone. We are trying for another kid." Piper says shyly so that Larry and Alex can hear.
"Yeah we are trying for anoth-… We are trying? For another? Kid?" Alex is now looking at Piper questioningly. "Just leave, Larry. And don't ever mess up with my wife and kids." Alex says meaning business in her tone. Alex held Piper's hand so that they can come back to their seats. While walking to their seats Alex looked at the wife lovingly. "You want another one?" Alex asked smiling shyly.
"I want to carry this time, Al. Sorry it just came out a while ago. Uggh timing is never really my strong suit." Piper says shaking her head. Alex chuckled. Cupping her wife's face. Alex was about to speak up but before she did Piper spoke. "I mean not now. I know our twins are just six months in. Maybe when they grow a little more like when they're 2 or 3?" Piper asks her wife hopefully. Alex smiled and chuckled at this.
"Anything for you, kid." Alex says leaning down to kiss Piper on the lips.
They sat down and continued their dinner with Nicky and Lorna filling them up with what just happened leaving out the new baby part. Alex wanted to give Piper another child because ever since, she wanted to carry. She was just not able to because of the accident that Larry caused. They also talked about Robin and Summer's first birthday that is upcoming.
"Uhm, hey Alex, Piper. I know this is just out of nowhere but, Lorna and I actually have a surprise for you guys." Nicky says smirking.
A/N: That's the end of Chapter 25 :)
