Alex is drowning with her paper works at Diane's Yes, Piper and she are happy about big sales but, big sales means more paper works.
"I need to get a manager/secretary. Ugh!" Alex says agitatedly digging through her papers.
The raven-haired woman is currently in her office at the second floor when someone knocked at the door. Alex rolled her eyes on who it might be and what they need again.
"Come in." Alex says. Grace immediately entered the room standing in front of Alex's desk. "What do you need now?" Alex says a little agitatedly and annoyed. Grace decided that she want what she wants.
"Uhm I… I want" Grace said stuttering.
"What is it?" Alex says looking down at her files waiting for what Grace is about to ask for. When Alex decided that she waited too long, and she still should finish a lot of her paper works, she spoke up. "What do you wa-…" Alex was cut off by Grace's lips on hers. Alex was shocked at what happened and did not kiss back. Grace was eating her up and she tried pulling away, but Grace was pulling her shirt so that their lips won't part. Alex held Grace's waist to push her away but, suddenly, they both hear a knock and the door open.

Piper's eyes were full of anger, jealousy, and disbelief. She dropped the takeout on the side table by the door a little bit too harshly that it made a mess. She turned to Alex.
"Are you fucking kidding me? What the fuck is going on here?" Piper shouted angrily. Grace immediately pulled away from the kiss and exited the room. Alex's face was full of panic, disbelief, anger towards Grace, and fear that Piper might shut her down.
It's been a long time since they had a major argument like this. They always had arguments whether to give juice to the kids or to make them eat candy but not about another woman kissing her.
"What the fuck, Alex? Are you having an affair? You have two kids for fuck's sake!" Piper says shouting. "Is this why you've been brushing me off lately? Piper asks angrily.
"Will you let me explain? It's not what it looks like, Pipes!" Alex said raising her voice a little but trying to keep her cool. She is now standing up from her chair.
"Are you not happy with me that you wanted to kiss and feel someone else?" Piper asked with glassy eyes while still shouting.
"I am not kissing her! She kissed me! I didn't kiss back! I was trying to push her away!" Alex says now she is agitated that Piper won't believe her.
"This is why you're shutting down on me at lately, huh? How long has been this going on for?" Piper asks her tears are now streaming down her eyes, but she is still shouting angrily.
"Nothing is going on! She just suddenly kissed me. She flirts with me a lot! And I'm not minding it because I empathize with her situation. I told you she is just like me before. I never knew she would do that!" Alex says trying to explain herself.
"Then why didn't you tell me she was flirting with you in the first place?" Piper asked annoyed.
Alex knew that this question would eventually come. She has no win in this argument especially that she knew she should have told her wife about someone flirting with her. She just didn't really think it was necessary. She walked towards the blonde and held her arms, so the blonde could look at her. Piper looked at her immediately, but all Alex saw was jealousy and anger. She saw tears coming out from her wife's eyes and this broke her heart. She didn't want seeing Piper cry.
"Hey listen to me. I don't think it's necessary. I do not even like her! Even as an employee!" Alex explains herself desperately in front of her wife. Whatever Alex did, Piper just shuts her down.
"Whatever. Enjoy your fucking lunch." Piper says walking out and not pertaining to the Chinese food.
"Piper wait a second! Will you let me explain please? Hear me out please?" Alex says shouting at the door. Piper went out of Diane's and walked back going to Popi.
Piper walked towards Popi and thought if her reactions was too much or if it was even appropriate. Alex is her wife and she should've not shut her down that way. Piper's tears kept streaming down from her eyes. She realized that she would have not reacted that way if Alex wasn't shutting her down the past couple of weeks. What she saw got the better of her. She released a sigh.
"What the fuck just happened." Piper muttered to herself shaking her head.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Fuck you Grace! Fuck you!" Alex shouts inside her office clutching her head with both her hands. Grace wasn't in the room, but she just wanted an outlet for her anger. She realized that she has been patient with this woman but, she didn't want anyone messing up with her and Piper's relationship. Alex went down from her office and looked immediately for Grace.
"What happened boss?" Seth asked worried. He saw Piper storming off and he heard shouts from Alex's office. They are aware that Grace is a major pain in the ass and has the hots for Alex. They've observed that Alex has been trying to be nice to Grace, but Alex explained why as she shares their common story to Seth and Emily which is how they understood where Alex is coming from.
"Fucking Grace kissed me, and Piper walked in on her kissing me and thought I was kissing her back when I was trying to fucking push her away!" Alex says angrily. Some of the customers looked at what could have been happening but didn't mind anyway. Alex tried to be discreet as possible and took a deep breath. She had to take action because she knew that Grace overstepped her boundaries when she was already being very patient on her.
"Where is Grace?" Alex says with gritted teeth whisper shouting at her employees. She tried to keep her cool first before talking to her employee.
"She went at the back. I think she took a smoke." Emily says. Alex immediately walked towards the back of the book store. She found Grace sitting on one of the crates startled to see Alex walking towards her.
"You wanna continue what we started there?" Grace says seductively. This pushed all of Alex's buttons already.
"WHAT THE FUCK! I DO NOT LIKE YOU AND I DO NOT LIKE WHAT YOU DID! I have been so fucking patient with you, Grace. You have no right to do that to me and you overstepped my boundaries." Alex said angrily, her nose flaring.
And then it snapped in on Alex as she observed Grace's appearance. Her eyes were red, and she is shaking and sweating profusely. As a former drug dealer, she knew what this is, and this is the turning point.
"Piper walked out with what she saw back there and it's our twins' birthday in three days! You're destroying everything good in my life. Get your life together!" Alex says a little agitatedly but remained calm. She now knows the reason why Grace is acting this way. Ever since Piper and Alex got married, they vowed that they wouldn't be involved in anything such as drugs and illegal activity. Most especially when Robin and Summer came in to their lives. Alex doesn't want to be involved with someone using drugs.
"Come on Alex! Just once. You know you are bored with Piper. Try me!" Grace says chuckling. Alex shook her head whilst squinting her eyes not believing what is taking place in front of her.
"First of all, I love my wife and she's the best I've ever had and the best I'll ever have. I am not bored with her and believe me she's not bored with me." Alex says boastfully then continued. "Second, this is my first time doing this but, you brought this up to yourself. I've given you, so many chances and I've been patient with you. I am sorry Grace but, you're fired! You may leave now. And do not ever come back." Alex tells Grace angrily trying to remain professional. Grace didn't see that coming and was glued to her tracks. Alex walked out grabbing her coat, wallet and phone and went to see Piper at Popi.
While on the way to Popi, Alex was trying to call Piper, but it went directly to voice mail. "Fuck!" she muttered to herself. When she arrived at Popi. She saw Piper crying to Polly inside. She could see the kids inside the office that has the door wide opened. She tried going inside but the door is locked. She tried knocking.
"Piper, let me in Can you please let me explain?" Alex says desperately from the other side of Popi's glass door. "Polly! Please! Let me in!" Alex says desperately. Polly didn't say anything yet. She didn't want to take sides yet.
"Maybe it's best if you leave her alone first, Alex." Polly says with a lot of concern for her friends.
"Just go away, Alex. I need to be alone." Piper says still crying. "Go away!" Piper shouted form the outside.
"Pipes, babe, please!" Alex is now desperately shedding tears looking down and spoke up again. "Okay I'm leaving, and I love you and tell Summer and Robin that I love them too. I love you Piper." Alex shouts form the outside.
"I hate you! Go away!" Piper shouted.
Alex's eyes widened at what Piper said. She knew that the blonde didn't hate her. She knew how Piper can say things in the spur of the moment and she know too well that Piper loves her but, what Piper just said hurt her deeply.
"No, you don't." Alex says tiredly looking at Piper. The raven-haired woman's eyes were all wet due to tears. She just saw Piper shake her head. Alex was stressed that week and all she could use is Piper's love, affection and patience. She just stood outside looking at Piper from the outside. Alex's eyes are streaming with more tears as she waits for her wife to respond but, none was given. Polly saw Alex's reaction and was hurt for the raven-haired woman as well. Alex walked away with her head down defeated.

"You didn't mean that, did you?" Polly whispered to Piper. Piper shook her head.
"No. I love her so fucking much." Piper says crying on Polly's shoulder. She could see Alex stare with her face full of tears. She saw Alex stood there for about 5 minutes and decided to leave with her head down.
"Okay Pipe, can you tell me what happened now? I am just so confused. What the fuck happened?" Polly asked her best friend. Piper tried to calm down and filled Polly in with all the details. She told Polly everything. "Did you let her fully explain?" Polly asked. Piper shook her head saying no. "Then you just assumed." Polly says.
"Are you taking Alex's side? You're supposed to be on my side." Piper says getting angry at Polly.
"I am not taking any sides. I'm just saying, you didn't let her explain yet, Pipe! You're better than this!" Polly tells her best friend.
Piper's mind was starting to wonder once again at the sight that she saw. She didn't want to lose Alex. And she most definitely didn't want to see her wife kiss somebody else. Piper shook her head.
"I need to calm myself down first and then I'll let her explain." Piper tells Polly.
"Well you better hurry up. You guys better fix this. You guys are fucking better than this for fucks sake!" Now, Polly was annoyed because she knew Piper had these tendencies of just shutting down and not understanding what is truly happening.

Alex was deeply hurt with what Piper said. She stood there looking at Piper but, Piper didn't look back. She wanted to drown her sorrows and pain and, so she decided to start walking to her car and drive to Big Bar Bugle. She just wanted to get drunk and tell Nicky what happened. Alex pulled out her phone while walking back to her car to call Nicky.
"Yo, Vause." Nicky says on the other line.
"Are you at the bar? I need a drink. I need some drinks." Alex says defeated.
"What the fuck happened? Trouble in paradise?" Nicky asked.
"Something like that. I fucking hate it!" Alex says angrily.
"Whoa! Calm down, Vause! Drive safe and I'll see you in a while!" Nicky tells her bestfriend.
"I'm leaving my car here. I need to walk and clear my mind." Alex says informing Nicky.
"Okay. Okay. I'll be here when you get here. See you. And calm the fuck down!" Nicky says hanging up.
Alex walked to Big Bar Bugle defeated. The walk made her think about their fight and relieving some parts of what happened made her cringe at Grace. She realized that she was caught in the middle of the whole situation and was shut down by Piper which made her feel a pinch of disappointment towards the blonde, but it is overwhelmed by the feeling of just wanting to be with her wife and kids. She was mad at herself for not realizing soon enough that Grace is on drugs. She thought that if she knew about it earlier, this whole thing would have been avoided because she would have fired her right there and then.
Alex arrived at Big Bar Bugle after 15 minutes of walking and Nicky saw her arrive and approached Alex by the door. She saw Alex's red swollen eyes obvious that she has been crying.
"What the fuck happened, Vause?" Nicky asked worried. Alex closed her eyes for a second as she was relieving the series of events that transpired the last hour. She was annoyed to say the least.
"Remember Grace? I told you that she has been flirting with me, right? And I told you why I do not fire her?" Alex says rambling at Nicky. Nicky was confused.
"Get to the point. What did she do?" Nicky asked.
"She fucking kissed me out of nowhere in my office and then Piper walked in seeing the kiss. I was even holding her waist which made it look like I liked it. I wasn't even kissing back! Everything was just wrong at that moment. What Grace did, what Piper walked into, all my stress with paper works. My god I don't know what to do Piper doesn't even want to talk to me or even let me explain!" Alex says totally rambling. Nicky noticed tears escaping Alex's eyes. She could see the sadness and vulnerability of the taller woman.
"Fuckin' A. That person is twisted!" Nicky says annoyed but continued talking. "I'm going to ask you this, did you like what Grace did?" Nicky asks her best friend. Alex's eyes widened at Nicky's question.
"Hell no! If it weren't for our similar family background I would have fired her a long time ago already!" Alex says almost shouting. She is shocked that Nicky asked her that and she still can't believe how everything gets messed up in 2 seconds.
Alex filled Nicky in with all the details that happened that past week up until the present. She also told Nicky about her possibly brushing off Piper due to heavy and stressful paper works which, she thought, might be one of the reasons why Piper instantly thought that she is having an affair with Grace.
"Okay. First, you two need to talk. And fix this mess. Come on! Your kids' first birthday is in three days for fucks sake! Second, I told you that you should fire Grace already! She's not just messing around at work, she also is starting to mess up your marriage, I've never seen anyone as inconsiderate as that. Well, except for people in prison." Nicky says shaking her head.
"I did! I fired her immediately as soon as Piper left. I don't need anyone messing with mine and Piper's relationship!" Alex says angrily. Her anger is still towards Grace and then remembered the woman's drug use. Nicky's expression is one of shock and approval. "She's on something, Nick. I think that's why she's acting up that way." Alex says defeated.
"Whoa that explains why she's twisted. I've been that twisted, and you know that!" Nicky says with her conclusion whilst shaking her head.

Piper is now at Popi's back office with Lorna. They set up a play pen for the kids. Sage, Robin, and Summer are playing inside the playpen.
"Wobin wants mama, mommy." Robin says looking at Piper with pleading eyes. Robin has been a mama's boy while Summer has been a mommy's girl.
"Well, mama isn't here now. You will see her later when she picks us up from here, okay?" Piper fondles with the little boy's head.
"Sumy wants mama, mommy." Summer copied what Robin said. Piper smiled and didn't realize that she had shed a tear.
"Mommy wants mama too, baby. We have to wait until she gets us from here later. Okay?" Piper repeated fondling at the tiny blonde's hair. She was shedding a tear. Lorna got Sage from the play pen so that Piper can talk to her children alone.
"Wa momi cry?" Summer asks Piper with her lips pouting as if she was about to cry too. Piper shook her head because this melted her heart. She wiped the tears coming down from her face. Summer started whimpering and cried as well. Piper lifted the little blonde and kissed her cheek.
"Mama and mommy just had a little argument. Mommy loves mama so much that I do not want to have an argument with her which is why I am crying. I am not mad at you so don't cry, honey." Piper assured her little blonde.
"Wa mommy cwying?" Robin looked at Piper.
"Mama cwying tu?" Robin asked. Piper whispered sweet nothings into Summer's ear and put her back in the play pen. Robin approached Piper who was currently crouching down to the twins' level. "No cwy mommy." Robin tells her mom. Lorna saw the interaction and immediately called Nicky. She dialed the phone and Nicky immediately picked up.
"Hey baby?" Lorna said through the phone.
"Hey, baby. How's it going?" Nicky asks.
"I assume Alex is with you?" Lorna asks.
"Yeah she's here drowning down her sorrows." Nicky says.
"Tell her that the kids and Piper misses her and is looking forward to seeing her. I know they are in the middle of something but, I thought it would be best to let Alex know that." Lorna says hoping that it will alleviate the situation.
"Well, Piper didn't actually let Alex explain. What they need to do is talk. So, I think we keep the twins for a couple of hours tonight so that the two of them can talk. Is that okay with you?" Nicky asked her wife.
"Yeah. Of course. I'll tell Piper." Lorna says smiling at the other side of the line. She wanted Piper and Alex to fix this.
"All right I'll see you later. Love you." Nicky tells her wife.
"Love you, bye." Lorna says hanging up.
"Hey Piper, Nicky and I are keeping Robin and Summer for a couple of hours tonight. Obviously, you and your wife need to talk so, yeah we will keep them for a couple of hours." Lorna tells Piper. The blonde didn't have a choice but was very grateful for Lorna and Nicky. She's ready to talk thing through with her wife.
"Thanks, Lorna." Piper says smiling sadly.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"She told me she hates me, Nicky." Alex tells Nicky. "I said I love her before I left the store, but she told me she hated me. I do not believe that, but it just hurt me so deeply. Why would she say that?" Alex says tears streaming down her eyes.
"You know sometimes, Vause, we tend to do or say things when we are angry. Remember when I learned that Lorna married Vinny in prison while I was at max? I called her a 'fickle-minded whore'. I didn't mean to say that at all. I was just mad." Nicky tried explaining to Alex. She could see Alex's weak side as the taller woman lets out all the tears she could.
"I know. I know." Alex says sadly. "I mean this is probably my fault too. I just hate that she didn't hear me out. We're married for fucks sake! And we have kids. We're not getting any younger there's no time for such petty arguments. Arrrghh!" Alex says annoyed that she cannot take hold of the situation.
"Take it easy, Vause. Just take it ea-…" Nicky was stopped by her phone ringing. It was Lorna. "I have to take this." Nicky tells Alex. The wild-haired woman answered in front of Alex.

"We're taking the twins tonight for two hours. You and Piper are going to sort this thing out." Nicky informed Alex. The raven-haired woman's eyes widened in Nicky's announcement. Her face softened when she realized that Nicky and Lorna wanted her and Piper to talk and just make up.
"Thanks, Nick." Alex smiled sadly. They drank some more, and Alex vented out some more to her best friend. Not only about her and Piper's argument but also about the stress that she's been going through lately.
"Hire a manager. That's the best solution I could advise to you. Because now, you are doing jobs that three people are supposed to be doing. That's why you are stressed." Nicky says nonchalantly.
"Yeah I probably should. Piper and I needs to reconnect as well. Our kids keep us connected but you know. I have needs. She has needs. Sometimes she wants it but I'm tired. Sometimes I want it but, she's tired too." Alex says chuckling.
"We all have needs!" Nicky says laughing at Alex.
"So, let me get this straight. You guys are acting up like this because of no sex?" Nicky teased the taller woman. "No! It's because she doesn't want to hear me out plus she saw Grace and I 'kissing'. She didn't know what really happened. Grace was the one who kissed me. I was trying to push Grace away!" Alex says annoyed. She just wants to fix this problem now.
"You know what? I'm going now. I'll go get Piper now. We'll talk and sort this out now." Alex says standing up, announcing what she'll do. There's still three hours to go before she is supposed to pick up Piper from Popi but she wanted to sort this as soon as she can. Nicky was shocked but agreed through a nod.
"Yeah that's a better idea. Want me to drive you there? I'll drive you, so you can get there faster." Nicky suggests. Alex shook her head.
"No, it's okay. I want to walk it out. It'll clear my head too." Alex says drinking the last gulp of bourbon form her glass.
"You sure about that, Vause?" Nicky asked again.
"Yes. I am. Thanks." Alex says serious as she patted Nicky on the shoulder and then walking out to start her journey to Popi.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Pol, I can't take it. I'll walk going to the Bar. Alex is there. I'll just tell her that I'm ready to listen. I don't want to prolong this argument. It just doesn't feel right." Piper says shaking her head.
"Do you want me to drive you there? Lorna is here, and she can take care of the kids for a while anyway." Polly suggests nonchalantly. Piper nodded in agreement. Her expression is still a little worried. She knew that she is wrong for not letting Alex explain. She just hates what she saw but, she also realized that she might've hurt Alex by telling her that she hates her.
Polly told Lorna that she'll take Piper to the Bar to see Alex. Lorna assured Piper and Polly that she could handle it and that they should call if they need anything. Polly and Piper rode in Polly's car and started the drive towards the Bar.

Halfway through Alex's walk, she felt her phone vibrating in her pocket. Piper was calling her. She was still a bit annoyed that her wife is shutting her down but, she just wanted a decent conversation and chose to answer.
"Pipes." Alex answered with a hoarse voice and has a hint of sadness.
"Alex, I'm sorry. Can we please talk?" Piper says from the other line; her voice is shaking, and Alex thought that the blonde might be crying which broke her heart.
"Yes, we need to talk, and we will talk, Piper. And please, no more shutting me down. You already hate me remember?" Alex says with hurt. She wanted Piper to realize what she told Alex earlier.
"I don't hate you, Al and you know that. Are you at the Bar?" Piper asked desperately.
"No. I'm walking towards there, towards Popi. I want to just fix this now Pipes, please." Alex says desperately.
"Polly is driving me towards the Bar. Where are you exactly?" Piper asked.
"Corner of 5th and 20th." Alex answers.
"Okay stay there we are one block away. I will go down and we can talk at the coffee shop by 20th." Piper told her wife.
"Okay. Bye. I still love you, Piper." Alex says sadly. She wanted Piper to know that she loves her so much.
"We're near. Bye I lov- …" Piper was cut off by Alex hanging up. Piper shut her eyes. She knew her wife well and she knew that Alex is hurt when she said she hated her.
"Pol, can you stop by here. I'm just going to meet Alex right by the coffee shop. Thanks for bringing me here." Piper smiles sadly. Polly looked at her best friend warily.
"Hey, Pipe. Fix this. I know you can. Everything will be okay. Remember, Robin and Summer are waiting for the both of you." Polly assures Piper smiling and rubbing Piper's arm. Piper smiled back sadly.
"Go. I won't leave until I see you and Alex together." Polly tells Piper.
"Thanks. You can drive away when we get inside. Thanks, Pol." Piper smiled at her best friend.
Polly wanted to make sure that Alex and Piper really talk and not shut down each other. She knew pretty well that Piper is used to doing that in uncomfortable situations and she told her best friend that it is about time to change that.
Piper went down the car and walked towards the coffee shop dodging people who were walking towards the opposite direction. They're near the city which made the streets mostly busy all the time except at night. She reached the café and just stood outside waiting. She saw Alex walking with her head down at the other side of the street towards the crosswalk. The sight of Alex immediately made her feel better but, it broke her heart seeing Alex's head down and thinking that she is the cause of Alex's sadness. She just wanted to hug her wife badly and just talk and clear everything up. She is ready to listen and apologize.
She stared at her wife waiting for Alex to look into her eyes. Alex put her head up as she needed to look before she crosses. Blue eyes meet green from the opposite sides of the cross walk. Alex showed Piper a tired and sad smile. Piper could see Alex's eyes were red and Alex saw the same. The light went green for the pedestrians and there were about 20 people crossing the street together.
"God this is such a busy city." Alex muttered to herself. The raven-haired woman walked towards where Piper is. She saw that Piper wanted to say something but can't seem to look at her straight due to the other people walking in front of her. She tilted her head from side to side to get a hold of Piper's gaze as if asking her what it is she wanted to say.
Suddenly, everyone heard three men arguing with each other at the opposite street. They were shouting frantically in Spanish and it looks like as if one of them is trying to run away but is being held by the other man. They sounded angry at each other. Everyone tried avoiding them. Alex didn't mind them because they were across the street. She just wanted to fix things with Piper. The blonde only understood the word "money" and "debt" from the Spanish words that the men were saying.
Alex was near the end of the pedestrian lane. She just wanted to kiss and hug Piper. Piper is excited to hug her wife as well which is why she walked towards her briskly stretching out her hand to reach the raven-haired woman until Piper spoke up still from a distance.
"Alex, I will never hate you!" Piper shouted for her wife to hear. She doesn't really care if anyone hears.
"I love- …" *BANG*
Piper saw Alex clutch on to her side. It's as if everything has slowed down. She saw Alex shaking and eventually fall to her knees and then completely falling on her back. Piper cannot believe what she is seeing.
"ALEX! ALEX!" Piper shouted with tears falling down her face, panic starting to rise within her. She ran towards her wife. She saw a pool of blood starting to build up on the street coming from Alex's side.
"Can someone call the ambulance please!" Piper says shouting. She grabbed Alex and placed the taller woman's head on her lap as she clutches on to her wife. She saw Alex's eyes were still open and looked at them.
"Alex, babe, you cannot close your eyes! You need to stay with me. Can you hear me?" Piper says sobbing and crying. Alex meant the world to her and whoever did this will pay the price. "Al, baby, please do not close your eyes. They're coming." Piper kept assuring Alex. Alex kept blinking. She felt dizzy and sleepy. She is trying to keep her eyes open.
"Pppleaasse dddon't ha… hate me… I… I… lo… love you… Pipes." Alex says with her voice above a whisper. Piper could see that she is struggling. Piper shook her head tears streaming down her eyes.
"You have to stay awake, Alex! I'm here I'll never leave you. Just talk to me!" Piper says crying.
"I… I lo...lovvee yooou… I I... ddon't ssaayy ttthaat to evvveeryone, yyyouu hhaave to ssaay ittt b… baack." Alex says while struggling with her breathing. If it's possible more tears fell from Piper's eyes. Piper knew what Alex is saying. She remembered Alex say those words to her the first time Alex admitted that she loves Piper. "I love you… I don't say that to everyone. You have to say it back…" Piper remembered everything clearly. She looked at her wife's emerald eyes while sobbing and crying.
"I love you too. I love you too." Piper says with her voice above a whisper. She saw that Alex couldn't hold it anymore. Alex's eyes fluttered. "I love you, Alex! Stay with me! DON'T YOU FUCKING LEAVE ME!" Piper shouted crying her eyes out. This time Alex couldn't fight it. Darkness took over her.
End of Chapter
A/N: Please do not hate me. I love you all. Please review. Sorry for the cliffhanger.
