Chapter 24~~

*2 weeks later*

It was about 6:30 AM when Piper woke up from Lexi's crying. She quickly climbed out her king size bed and wiped the sleep from her eyes. Piper headed down the hall mumbling,

"I don't have a clue how this kid turned out to be a morning person, because neither of her parents are. That's for damn sure." Once Lexi caught sight of Piper her cries turned into little hiccups.

"Hello Baby. Did you want mommy??" Piper asked her as she picked her up from the bed. "Yeah, I know. I was startin to miss ya, too."

"She defiantly knows who her mama is!" said Amy who had just gotten into town.

"Damn girl. I didn't think Jeff would be back so quick with ya."

"You know him. He can't stay away for to long." Amy told Piper smiling.

"Good, that way I can keep an eye on him." Piper said laughing. "But, she does seem to know who I am, doesn't she?"

"Yes, she does. She gonna be so smart."

"Good, cause I was never that good in school." Piper laughed. "Come on, lets get some coffee." The girls walked out of the nursery which was finally finished the weekend before. Jeff had had a special surprise for it but didn't get the chance to paint it before Piper had Alexis. He ended up painting a Tigger on the wall with a flower in his hand. The flower had writing on each pedal. It said 'Alexis Faith Tanner. July 28th. 5:36 AM. 6lb. 4oz.' Piper thought it was the cutest thing. And thanked god that she had 2 extra bedrooms in her house, so she would never have to paint over if Lexi got 'to old' for Tigger to be on her wall. When Amy and Piper walked into the kitchen, Lexi in Pipers' arms, they saw Jeff listening to salsa music, dancing everywhere. Both girls burst out laughing. Jeff whipped around and smiled a very embarrassed smile.

"Awww, hunny. It's okay!" Piper said trying with everything in her not to laugh at him.

"How can you say that. You sitting here practically peeing in your pants." Jeff asked.

"I know." Piper told him as she laughed harder.

"Just give me the kid." He said taking Lexi from her arms.

"Ya know, she is mine." She told him, like it was new knowledge.

"Yeah I know, but I love her." Jeff said laughing. "Isn't mommy nuts??" Jeff said talking to the baby girl in his arms. Piper threw a dish towel at him, which missed him by miles. "Ha ha."

"You two are horrible. You act like your 5 years old, not 24 and 25." Amy told them with a amused look on her face as she watched the two.

"What can we say?!? We're a high school couple mixed with a old married couple." Jeff explained.

"That's a way to put it." Amy said shrugging her shoulders. "So...... what's your guys plans for the day?"

"Well, I have a doctors appointment and so does little one over there. And Jeff has to umm.... pack his bags for the road." Piper said looking at her hands.

"Oh," Amy said knowing her friend was upset. "Well, I have a idea. How about I take Lex to her doctors and for a walk afterwards?" Piper thought about it and she figured it was a good idea. She knew Amy partly wanted her to have some alone time with Jeff but it was mostly a selfish act. She just wasn't to be able to have Lexi to herself. It still killed Piper when her friends came over. They fussed over Lexi like she was the first baby ever.

"That's fine, Amy. Thank you."

"Oh, hun. It's not a problem. Trust me. So, what time is the appointment?"

"1 o'clock. I'll write down the directions and a note so the doctor doesn't think your some random person. But it works out well, because my appointment is right before and I wasn't sure if I was gonna make it to hers or not. It isn't anything major, they're just gonna weight her, find out how long she got, etc. Nothing big. You don't need to know anything they have it all on file."

"Okay, I can handle that." Amy said nodding.

"I'm going to shower, though since I have a appointment of my own. See you three in a bit." Piper before kissing Jeff and Lexi's cheek and running up stairs. Once she was out of ear shot Amy started in on a game of 50 questions.

"So, how's family life?"

"Family life? Ha..... hardly. Nothings changed between me and Piper. We're still the same. We just have this adorable little girl around now." Jeff told her while making a funny face trying to get Lexi to laugh, but with no luck.

"Do you mind?"

"Lexi?? God no. She's a wonderful baby. I like this. It fits for me. I want one of my own now."

"Your own kid?? Jeff Hardy, I did think I'd ever see the day. Not to burst your bubble but ya kinda need a wife to have kids. Hint hint."

"Wow, Amy are you tryin to tell me you want me and Piper to get married??" Jeff asked acting like he had no idea where he was getting the thought from.

Amy laughed before replying, "It won't be a bad thing would it??"

"No, it won't. But she just had a baby. And we've only been together for like 2 months." Jeff said while he set Lexi down in her swing chair since she was starting to fuss a little.

"Yeah, but you guys have known each other going on a year. And you two acted more like a couple then people I knew that were actually in a relationship." Amy told Jeff matter of factly.

"I get ya. But do you think she would marry me??"

"Better question. Do you want to marry her??" Amy questioned. Jeff just stared at her. He would admit that he was thinking about asking Piper to marry him but he was to afraid to even try. He wasn't sure if she wanted to be with him for a long time, just dating, let alone marriage. He felt like they would be skipping a lot of steps.

"Yes." Jeff said looking at Amy.

"YAY!!" Amy said running over and hugging Jeff.

"Shhhhhh.... god, Lexi is napping right there." Jeff pointed out.

"Oh sorry." Amy said smiling. "My bad."

"Yeah, your bad." Jeff said picking up the napping baby and walking into the living room to watch some TV.

A little while later Piper came back downstairs from her shower to find only Amy in the kitchen making lunch for everyone and lightly listening to music. She turned around and headed toward the living room. She found Jeff asleep on the couch, no shirt, knees bent with Lexi propped up by a pillow leaning against his legs. She was facing Jeff, wipe awake and just staring at him. Piper tried not to laugh. She hurried and grabbed the camera. She snapped a picture and luckily Alexis didn't even notice her and continued to stare at Jeff. Jeff woke up from the flash and was shocked to see Lex staring at him with such interest.

"Hey, baby girl. Whatcha staring at?"

"She's like her mother. She likes what she sees." Piper told him. Jeff turned and looked at Piper. She had on black bell-bottoms, a pale yellow 3/4-sleeve shirt, which was lower cut, and black platform shoes. Her hair was parted to the side and had two corn rolls right at the part, that was it. And it was up in a messy ponytail, but it looked great. Piper had her big hoop earrings in and fresh make up. Jeff let out a low whistle before saying,

"Damn, girl. I hope the doctor has good news today. 'Cause I don't know how much longer I can watch you prance around in outfit like that." Piper smiled and shook her head. She walked over and picked Lexi up before laying down herself with Lexi resting on her chest.

"Well, I should be saying the same thing about you walking about here with no shirt on."

"You love it!"

"I do!" Piper said without shame.

"I got a question for you Peanut." Jeff said. Piper just tilted her head a little to show him she was listening.

"You goin to the show tonight?? Everyone would wants to see you and Lexi." he asked.

"Yeah, we're going. Nicole, Keri and Shawna are going with me. Nikki is taking Lexi for the night. She said something along the lines of 'It's not fair, I never see my niece and you hog her all the time."

"Your her mother." Jeff said laughing.

"I know. But my sister doesn't seem to think that means anything. I mean, I only gave birth to her. No biggie." Piper said. Just then Lexi took some big breaths and hiccupped a little.

"She knows we're talking about her." Jeff whispered.

"I know. I don't have to be to the doctors till 12:15. It's only like 10. So let's nap." Piper said closing her eyes.

"What about Amy?"

"She's making lunch for us and watching TV in the kitchen. She's fine." Piper informed him. Jeff just nodded and went back to sleep with his hand on top on Piper's, which rested lightly on Lexi's back. Amy noticed sometime after that she hadn't heard a peep in a while so she went wandering into the living room. There was Jeff on the couch with Piper laying half on him, half on the couch, and Lexi lying on Piper. It was the cutest thing she had ever seem. Amy noticed the camera on the table and picked it up. She took a picture and with a smile headed back into the kitchen to finish lunch before waking the three up.
