Chapter 29
A/N: Happy Birthday, Pipes!
I do not own anything. I just made the story. It's early August and we got TEN more months left before season 6!
Piper picked up a rose that is placed on the porch's small table with another note attached to it. Piper smiled at it and looked at Polly and Lorna behind her.
"Is this going on the full day, guys?" Piper asked smiling sweetly. She loves how romantic Alex could be with the roses and notes. She opened the note.
Did I ever tell you how much I love you? If not, then you will find out how much I do, soon.
Alex xx
Piper smiled at the note and then eventually chuckled trying not to think about how Alex's note turned her on.
Alex saw Piper through the window and couldn't take her eyes off her wife. She gave her wife a shirt to wear going home. Piper didn't really think of it as anything. In fact, she likes the shirt so much because it is funny and witty. Alex gave her a shirt through Lorna that says "Little" with a drawing of a spoon underneath it. It is a semi-hanging top that's grey in color. Piper laughed when she saw the shirt and wanted to wear it right away. Piper thought of it as one of Alex's silly gifts. What Piper knows is that they are going to have a family dinner at Luigi's and that's it. Piper and Alex are both looking forward to their weekend getaway. But first, the surprise party.
Everyone is now trying to hide and be quiet as they wait for Piper to open the door.
"You guys should come in for a while. I bet Alex isn't ready for the dinner yet anyway." They can hear Piper from the other side of the door. Alex saw that Piper is grabbing her keys from her bag.
"Are you excited for your family dinner?" Polly asked. The people inside the house can still hear the girls chitchatting while waiting in anticipation.
"Yes, of course! I haven't seen my wife and kids the entire day!" Piper says. The blonde is having a tough time looking for her keys while still chitchatting with Polly and Lorna. "You know what I'm excited about?" Piper asks Lorna and Polly while still looking for her keys. Lorna chuckled because she kind of knows what Piper is excited about.
"What?" Polly asks her eyebrows are raised while asking the question.
"Birthday sex!" Piper says whisper shouting at Polly. Piper and Lorna laughed at this while Polly shook her head and followed suit laughing.
"Oh gosh, are you going to beat the time when you came seven times? Trying for eight?" Polly says teasing her best friend.
"Oh, trust me they might have even beaten that record in prison." Lorna says chuckling trying to tease the blonde. Piper's mouth opened in shock of what Lorna said. Piper is still digging into her bag for the keys.
"Lorn!" Piper whisper shouted.
"How do you even have sex in prison?" Polly asks innocently.
"Chapel." Lorna and Piper said together. They looked at each other and laughed.
"Oh my god!" Polly says shocked at the women's revelation.
Meanwhile in the inside, Nicky and Alex were stifling their laughter in what they are hearing. They thank whoever it is that Carol and Bill are farthest from the door.
"Challenge accepted, Pol." Alex whispered so that only Nicky will hear. Nicky nudged Alex with her elbow as she is trying not to laugh. The wild-haired woman did it a little too hard. "Ow!" Alex let out a loud reaction to Nicky's elbow. Piper from the outside heard her wife.
"Did you hear that?" Piper asked Polly and Lorna worriedly. Polly and Lorna totally heard Alex get hurt but tried not to notice it so that Piper won't think of anything.
"Alex? Alex are you hurt, babe? Is everything okay?" Piper says as she finally found her keys and inserted it in the door knob to open the door. She twisted the key and pushed to open the door. What she saw next isn't what she is expecting to see.
"SURPRISE!" Everyone shouted as they see Piper enter the door. Piper's face was in an expression of shock and, obviously, surprise. Her mouth was agape, and her eyes are wide looking at everyone who is inside their house. The blonde's head turned from side to side as she searched for the three people she missed the entire day. When she looked at the left side she saw her wife and kids. Her face immediately turned from a shocked expression to a sweet, loving smile.
Piper saw Alex wearing a similar shirt as hers that says "Big" with a spoon underneath is. The blonde chuckled when she realized what Alex did there. The next thing she saw is the most adorable sight she's seen. Robin is wearing a Mickey Mouse onesie and a cap with Mickey ears on it. His dark hair is pressed down by his Mickey cap while Summer is wearing a Minnie Mouse onesie and a cap with Minnie ears on it as well. Although Summer's hair is still short, Alex did well doing pigtails with them.
Piper can see everyone wearing their own silly outfits as well. Most of them were wearing party hats and blowing their party horns. There is a photo booth that has been set up in one area of their house and there are party decorations hanging from the stairs, windows and tables.
On the breakfast bar, there are platters of chips and other snacks that are Piper's favorite. There are three large mason jars that is filled with lime lemonade that is green in color and pink lemonade. The other jar is filled with Piper's favorite cocktail, margarita. There are snacks like donuts, brownies, flaming hot Cheetos, Taki's, Jolly Ranchers, Oreos, French fries and even burgers from Shake Shack. There is one corner that is labelled as 'build-your-own oatmeal' because Piper loves oatmeal as well. It is a weird combination with the rest of the snacks but in Alex's defense, "It is Piper's favorite!"
There is another mason jar full of chocolate Kisses in it labelled "Kisses for Piper from Alex, Robin, and Summer". The half of the breakfast bar is filled with the dishes that Red created such as Piper's favorite Bolognese lasagna, Alex's favorite coq au vin, Red's famous chicken pot pie, Nicky's favorite pork chop, Lorna's beef BBQ ribs, and Red's creamy and cheesy mashed potatoes and dinner rolls. Later on, when Piper saw the food prepared, she laughed because she knows that it is Red's daughters' favorite dishes.
There is also a banner that is hanging from the railing of the stairs that says, "Happy Birthday, Pipes!" Piper is surprised. She didn't really expect anything during her birthday but, she is already thankful because she knows that Alex set up all of it just for her.
Piper stepped in the door.
"Oh my god, you guys!" Piper exclaims. Everyone laughed at Piper's reaction. Robin, Summer and Sage were on their play mat chuckling to everyone saying 'Surprise!'. Alex walked towards her wife handing her a bouquet of red roses.
"Happy Birthday, babe." Alex whispered smiling at Piper and then leaning in to kiss her wife passionately on the lips. Piper pulled away.
"Alex, you did all this?" Piper asked whilst smiling wide.
"I got a little help from everyone." Alex says smirking.
"You guys knew all along, didn't you?" Piper asked Polly and Lorna who was behind her. The women nodded and then chuckled.
"Alex told us not to tell you anything in exchange of that wonderful spa treat." Lorna says and then shrugs. All of them chuckled.
"Happy Birthday, Vause the second!" Nicky walked towards Piper hugging her, pulls away then leaning in to Lorna to give her a kiss on the lips.
"Too much lesbian love here. I might turn into one." Polly says chuckling then walked away towards Pete and Finn.
"I knew it, Pol! You have the hots for me too." Alex joked. Piper slapped her arms in mock jealousy. Piper put the roses aside and pulled Alex towards Robin and Summer.
Piper carried Robin and Alex carried Summer. Lorna also carried Sage from their play mat. "Hi honey. Mommy missed you." Piper talked sweetly to her son.
"Mama *babbles* mama" Robin says showing his gummy smile with a few teeth almost peeping out of his gums.
"You've been with mama all day, babe. Don't you want to be with mommy? It's mommy's birthday!" Piper says then blows raspberries on Robin's cheek. The little dark-haired boy screeched and chuckled at this.
"Momimi Momi" Summer called out to Piper reaching out to the blonde. "Summer wants mommy. Pipes, here give me Robin coz' your little twin is acting up." Alex says chuckling. Piper handed Robin to Alex and got Summer from her wife.
"Hi there little one." Piper says then blows raspberries this time on her daughter's face. Summer let out a loud screech and giggled to Piper's actions. Robin looked at Piper and Summer longingly and started whimpering.
"What's the matter, Robbie?" Alex asks her son. Robin is now trying to reach out to Piper jealous of Summer giggling. "Oh, wow now! No love for mama, huh?" Alex says in mock jealousy. Piper chuckled at this. "It's okay. It's your birthday anyway." Alex says chuckling then leaned in to kiss Piper on the cheek. Robin is still reaching out for Piper until Alex blew raspberries on his cheeks eliciting a loud screech and giggle from the little boy.
They are oblivious to the people who are taking pictures and videos of them. Just like what Piper said before, she just focused on Alex and it what she paid attention to, WHO she paid attention to. But now, it is a little different. Before, Alex and Piper paid attention to each other when they are around each other but, now, they paid attention to each other AND to their kids. "It's as if I pay attention to the love of my life plus the two little loves of my life" in Piper's words. Piper and Alex continued blowing raspberries on the twins' faces eliciting loud giggles showing their almost peeping front teeth. Nicky snapped a couple of photos of them thinking of showing them later.
"Too much fun right here. We want to join in!" Red interrupts in her thick Russian accent. "Happy Birthday, Piper." Red says smiling leaning in to kiss the blonde on the head and reaching to get Summer from her.
"Thanks, Red" Piper responded smiling wide.
"You, little one stay with babushka while your mamochka says hello to everyone." Red talked to Summer lovingly. Alex and Piper chuckled at Red's remark.
Piper walked through every person who's invited. She was greeted by Brooke, Taystee, Daya who were seated on the couch. Daya brought Armaria with her and John. Finally, they are ready to see the sun set while building their family and living happy lives. There are a lot of people in the surprise party. Pete and Finn were there, Carol and Bill, Cal, Neri, and River, and Danny. They all hugged and wished Piper a happy birthday.
"Oh, honey, you don't know how nervous Alex is when she was preparing these. She loves you so dearly, you know?" Carol says sweetly to Piper. The younger blonde nodded while smiling.
"I knew that years ago. You saying it makes me more and more aware of it every day. Thanks mom." Piper responded to Carol.
Everyone is busy talking to each other. Piper is thanking everyone who came to the party and can't wait to spend alone time with her wife.
"Piepi! Happy Birthday! I wuv you!" Finn says stretching his arms reaching out for Piper to carry him. "Hi Finny! Thank you!" Piper says lifting Finn and kissing his cheek. Finny being the little boy he is instantly wiggled off Piper's grasp and ran after Tank who is wearing a dog shirt that says, Happy Birthday Mom!
"Piper, I invited someone else. Do you want to meet them? They want to wish you a happy birthday." Nicky says getting Piper's attention.
"Oh, who is it? Sure." Piper says following Nicky to the door.
"Nick, Lorna said you wanted to see me?" Alex walked towards Nicky and Piper while carrying Robin and Summer.
"I need to get them changed" Alex mouthed to her wife.
"I'll help you." Piper says sweetly getting Summer from Alex's grasp.
"Yeah I called the two of you because I thought you guys want to see them." Nicky says opening the door. Piper and Alex's eyes widened in surprise. Before their eyes were Suzanne, Cindy, Gloria, Blanca, Maritza and Flaca.
"Hey! Happy Birthday Girl!" Cindy extends her arms gesturing a hug. Piper leaned in to receive the hug a little awkwardly.
Piper and Alex weren't as close to these people as to whom they are currently with like Nicky, Red, Lorna, Taystee, Brooke, and Daya. They are just happy that they get to see familiar faces who strived for something better with them when they are all caught up in that shit of a prison riot. They never knew they would make friends.
Alex and Piper welcomed everyone in their home letting them go inside. Gloria looked at Robin and Summer simultaneously with loving eyes.
"Oh my god. Vause and Chapman, are these your babies? Guapo y hermoso!" Gloria exclaims smiling at Piper and Alex.
"Why thank you, Gloria." Piper smiled. Alex looked at Piper asking what Gloria meant.
"'Handsome and beautiful she meant." Piper whispered to Alex so that she can translate for her wife just like how she did when they were in Litchfield.
"Siga a sus mamas, bien?" Gloria says talking to Robin and Summer. "You look like Vause…" Gloria says pointing at Robin's nose touching it lightly on the little boy's nose. "And you, you look like Chapman." Gloria says doing the same thing she did to Robin on Summer's nose.
"It's Vause now." Piper chuckles. Alex looked at her wife asking what Gloria said again.
"Follow your mommies?" Piper mouthed at her wife. Alex accepted the translation.
"Hi Dandelion your babies are so cute. How are you able to make babies with Alex? Oh wait, she is your wife, right? Like, since we're not in prison anymore life she is your wife-wife, right? Not prison wife? Or since we are in a house a house wife-wife. Or maybe just a wife." Suzanne started with her usual conclusions and ideas.
"Oh gosh! There's a white dog! I'll make sure to include him in my next story!" Suzanne says running after Tank. Piper and Alex eyes each other and smiled and shrugs.
"Hey, look at the social media stars! Just like us!" Maritza says excitedly.
"Follow our vlogs! Oh! You know what? You guys should be a part of our vlog actually!" Flaca says looking at Maritza.
"Bring your cute kids too! They can be stars in no time!" Maritza says looking up imagining the Vauses appearance in their show.
"Hey! Wait, wait! Stop it!" Nicky says laughing.
"I am their social media manager and you should consult with me and I will consult with them." Nicky says nodding asking for assurance from anyone. "Anyways, Vause, the reason why I brought them here is because they needed jobs to work in. As a part of their release they should work for a year. And I was thinking…" Nicky says but was cut off by Alex.
"Big Bar Bugle?" Alex asked curiously. Nicky's face lightened up and nodded.
"Yeah sister! You got it! Like, if they don't want to work there after a year then they can leave or work somewhere else if they want." Nicky says shrugging.
"That's not a bad idea. And we can help people from prison too." Piper says concluding Nicky's decisions. "We should talk about it still." Alex says a matter-of-factly.
"Okay. But first, we drink. Let's go, not lesbians!" Nicky says chuckling pointing towards the breakfast bar where the drinks are. Robin and Summer were whimpering due to the need of diaper change.
"We need to get them changed first, Nick." Alex tells her wild-haired friend.
"Okay. After your mommy duties, come back right away." Nicky said smiling.

Piper and Alex are now left alone with Nicky and their friends from Litchfield. Robin and Summer are with Carol and Bill. Carol loved taking care and spoiling her grandchildren. They are currently at the garden enjoying some fresh air. "You shouldn't spoil them too much especially when they reach a year old." Piper warns Carol. She cannot blame her mom because that is all she ever wanted but, she is just thankful that Carol and Bill are there supporting her little family.
"I can't believe you guys are all here! Thanks for coming!" Piper says thanking everyone from Litchfield who came there to celebrate her birthday with her.
"Big three five, huh? Excited for your birthday getaway tomorrow?" Red asked smiling. Piper smiled back.
"Oh, she has no idea where we are going yet." Alex announced proudly.
"Yes. I do!" Piper exclaimed.
"Okay. Where then?" Alex asked.
"Oh yeah, I don't." Piper says realizing she doesn't know. Everyone laughed at this.
"Someone's getting laid tomorrow! Oh, to the yeah!" Taystee exclaims. Everyone chuckled at what Taystee said. Cindy started beatboxing.
"Tomorrow is the day that somebody's getting laid. It ain't matter where, under the sun or in the shade!" Cindy rapped, and everyone laughed out loud.
"Oh my gosh that's a good one." Alex says almost tearing up until Cindy started again.
"Look at who it is, it's Piper and Alex Vause. Tomorrow it's all play, fast forward but, they never gonna pause!" Piper laughed at this
"Oh you bet." Piper says agreeing with Cindy's rap.
The ladies of Litchfield caught up with each other's happenings. They have agreed that they will hire them at BBB which is half way done already. The construction is ongoing, and it is 2 blocks away from Diane's and 4 blocks away from Popi. Blanca and Red's reunion was unbelievable. They bonded during the riot and they never forgot each other ever since. Gloria is closer than ever with his son although Ben is undergoing speech therapy and physical therapy after his accident.
Suzanne is still in her medication and needs a job as well as a part of her release. Cindy finally confessed to her 'sister' that she isn't really her sister but her mother. Flaritza is successful in maintaining their YouTube account and are now big-time vloggers. The ladies of Litchfield cannot believe that they could talk about ordinary stuff outside of prison and vowed to never to illegal shit again. They caught up some more with the latest prison gossip and a little bit about their personal lives while enjoying each other's company.

It is already half past 8 in the evening when most of the guests decided to split.
"Piper, we'll go ahead. River's acting up because he's sleepy. I hope you enjoy your 2-day birthday vacation!" Cal hugs her sister goodbye.
"You know what to do!" Cal winks at Alex and gives her sister-in-law a hug.
"You bet!" Alex chuckles waving goodbye to Cal and Neri who was carrying River.
"Alex, honey, take care of your wife and enjoy your short trip to…" Bill is waiting for Alex to finish her sentence.
"It's a surprise for Piper actually." Alex says shyly.
"Ohh okay. You ladies enjoy!" Bill says squinting her eyes at Alex and Piper. The Vauses hugged Bill and Carol as they exit the house.
The time came for Alex and Piper when they need to say goodbye to their little nuggets. Alex saw the sadness in Piper's eyes in leaving their children and Piper saw it as well in Alex's eyes. The raven-haired woman tried hiding it but failed.
"We don't have to leave if you don't want to. Or we can take them with us." Piper suggested looking at Alex.
Alex and Piper prepared Robin and Summer's overnight bag the night before so that they don't need to worry about anything after the party. Polly grabbed it already and placed it in her and Pete's car. The twins are staying with them for a night and then with Lorna and Nicky for the next night.
"Ooops. I heard that! Nuh uh! You two are leaving. Just the two of you. It's just two days without your kids. It's your birthday Pipe and you should enjoy two days with your wife. Both of you need it. Okay?" Polly reminded Piper and Alex. Alex and Piper's faces painted a hint of sadness. It is their first time being away with the twins after all.
"Okay fine. Can we please say goodbye to them first?" Alex asked Polly reaching out to get Robin from Pete and Piper reached out to grab Summer from Polly.
"Mama mama." Robin says showing his gummy grin.
"I won't see you for 2 days, honey. Mama's going to miss you." Alex talked to Robin, smelled the top of his head and kissed her son's cheek. I love you, little nugget." Alex says goodbye almost tearing up.
Piper, on the other hand, is tearing up already because it's as if Summer knows that they will not go home with their mommies that night.
"Mom, Momi" Summer whimpers and lets out a loud cry.
"Oh, baby. Don't cry it's okay it's just two days." Piper says to Summer rubbing her back to keep her from crying. Robin started whimpering at Alex's arms as well upon seeing her sister cry. The twins are now crying. Piper and Alex are now whispering sweet nothings to their children.
"It's okay. mommy's still here." Piper whispers.
"Mama's here, Robbie." Alex says kissing her son's temple. Whenever they can't control the cries of the twins they do the switch. Piper handed Alex Summer and then got Robin from Alex. The women rocked their children whispering sweet nothings to the twins again. Summer and Robin suddenly stopped crying and is now on the verge of falling asleep.
"Wow. How did you do that? When Sage cries, she cries. We can't do that." Nicky says whisper shouting at the women. Polly, Pete, Piper and Alex found it funny. Lorna agreed with Nicky but laughed as well. Piper and Alex shrugged.
"Whenever we do that, they just calm down. We call it 'The Switch'." Alex says nonchalantly. Pete got Robin and Summer's car seats so that Alex and Piper can put them there.
"We'll see you guys tomorrow night?" Lorna asks Polly while smiling. Polly invited Lorna and Nicky to have dinner at their apartment before they take the twins.
"Yes. We'll see you mates!" Pete answered. Polly smiled and nodded.
Enjoy your trip, not lesbians!" Nicky says waving good bye as she exits the house carrying Sage.
"Enjoy you know what!" Lorna winked at Piper and gave her a hug and hugged Alex as well then exited the house.
"Say your final goodbyes now. You'll see them Sunday night!" Polly reminds Piper and Alex. Piper and Alex caressed and kissed the twins as if not going to be able to see them for a very long time.
"I love you Summer. You be a good girl for mommy and mama okay?" Piper whispered to her 6-month.
"I love you Robbie, take care of your sister, okay?" Alex whispers and Piper rolled her eyes upon hearing what Alex said and then they eyed each other and laughed. The women kissed their babies on their heads and said their final goodbyes. Alex and Piper placed them in their carriers and said goodbye to Polly and Pete.
"Don't forget the list, Pol!" Piper shouts from afar still saying goodbye.
"I know what to do, Pipe! Enjoy the weekend!" Poly shouted back. And with that, Piper and Alex were left alone. They have about an hour to finalize packing and get a cab to the airport.
"Happy Birthday, Pipes." Alex cupped her wife's face looking into her eyes lovingly leaning in to kiss her wife passionately on the lips pulling away afterwards.
"Thanks for all these, Al. I really appreciate it and I enjoyed being with our family and friends." Piper responds sincerely.
"Oh, you haven't seen anything yet!" Alex says smirking. Piper chuckled.
"Where are we going anyway?" Piper asked Alex curiously.
"It's for me to know and you to find out!" Alex says grinning. "Now let's get ready we'll be late for our flight!" Alex said pulling Piper to their room.
"What? What flight? I thought we'll just stay somewhere here in New York in a hotel?" Piper asked confused.
"Nobody said that." Alex smirked. Piper smiled wide.
"Oh my gosh. When does the surprises end?" Piper says attacking Alex with a tight hug.
"I told you already, it's for me to know and you to find out, babe." Alex says chuckling and then kissing Piper's cheek. "Now let's go and get ready! We need to leave in an hour!" Alex says pulling Piper towards the room.
