Chapter 44
A/N: Christmas came early in this story. Please do enjoy!
The scene inside the play pen was ironically devastating and cute at the same time. It was devastating because of Summer's accident and cute because of how they found the toddlers in the pen.
The play pen fence is formed into a semi-circle as both ends of it were hooked on the living room wall. There is a small wooden table that is against the wall. There are also two wooden chairs, that goes with the small table, at opposite ends of the play pen with toys on it. It seems like Sage liked putting all the toys on top of the chairs for some reason. Even though this is the case, there are still a lot of toys scattered around the kids.
They found Sage seated at the left most part of the play pen beside a chair. She is pressing all the buttons of the toys that is surrounding her eliciting mixed sounds from them. Robin is at the center of the play pen with his little mustached pacifier in his mouth. He is currently looking at Summer, as she was crying loudly, while fiddling with his favorite stuffed giraffe.
Summer could have been anywhere in the play pen. She could be at the right side near the fence or beside Robin or Sage but, Alex and Piper found the tiny blonde under the wooden table. It turns out that the loud thud they heard was Summer's attempt of standing up from underneath the table. It might have been painful for the little girl but, Alex figured that it might also have been the sound that stunned Summer.
The tiny blonde is currently hysterically crying while seated underneath the table.
"Maaaaamaaaaaa!" Summer muttered whilst crying loudly. Piper and Alex went over the fence. Piper grabbed Robin as she sat in the middle of the play pen putting Robin in between her crossed legs while Alex reach out to grab Summer form under the tiny wooden table.
"Oh, come here honey. It's okay. Does it hurt?" Alex talked to her daughter bringing her in a tight embrace to assure her that everything is going to be fine. Summer had tears falling from her eyes. Alex hugged her daughter as she sat down in front of Piper and Robin. The raven-haired woman tried to check if Summer had a bump on her head. She tried feeling it and found nothing. "Pipes, I think she got stunned with the sound of the table against her head. No bumps on her head." Alex concludes talking to her wife.
"Mmmmmoooommmmeeeeeee." Summer murmured while sobbing. Alex knew the little blonde wanted to be in the arms of her wife.
"Mommy, she wants you." Alex told Piper as she handed Summer for Piper to embrace. Alex grabbed Robin from in between Piper's legs and let him sit on her thigh.
"Hey, baby, you're alright. Don't try standing up from underneath the table next time, okay?" Piper comforts her daughter in a tight embrace whilst rubbing her back. Seconds later, the little blonde stopped crying. Piper looked at her daughter and rested her in between her legs. Alex started chuckling at what she saw.
"We have a little drama queen over here just like her mommy." Alex teased her wife. Nicky went over the fence and sat beside the couple. The play pen that seemed so big without them now looked like a cramped space due to their sizes.
"Any more drama queens, or as I could say, drama king, in the house?" Nicky asked in anticipation. She knew her godchildren too well. Piper rolled her eyes at Alex's remark.
"Oh, wait till the little boy, reacts. You know what's next, right, babe?" Piper chuckled whilst confirming that there is something coming up next. They both know what is next, alright.
Robin saw the whole interaction between Summer, Piper and Alex and was looking at his moms expectantly. Suddenly, the little boy furrowed his eyebrows together, pouting his lips as he un-sucks his pacifier that fell in front of Alex, and then started crying while looking at Alex with his green orbs.
"What's the matter, babe?" Alex asked Robin lovingly. She knew that Robin was jealous of the attention given to Summer. Robin continued crying. Alex and Piper knew this side of Robin well. He is crying without tears which meant he was trying to seek attention. This happened to the twins often. When Robin got Piper and Alex's attention, Summer would always make a way to get her parents' attention too. Robin continued crying and stretched out his arm in a 'please-carry-me-I-am-needy' gesture. Alex chuckled at his son's actions and immediately lifted him and embraced him while rubbing his back.
"You don't need to be jealous, buddy. I love you…" Alex says kissing the top of Robin's head. "… And I love Summer too. Both, mommy and I love you so much, okay?' Alex says hoping that her son would understand.
"Looks like we have a drama king too, huh, Al?" Piper says laughing. Alex rolled her eyes and then tried stifling her chuckles.
"I thought our son is a smaller version of me but, he's such a drama king like you." Alex continued teasing her wife. Piper rolled her eyes in mock annoyance. Nicky noticed her daughter from the left most part of the play pen and decided to call her.
"Sweetie, can you give mama a hug, please?" Nicky told Sage while stretching her arms out waiting for the little girl to come and hug her. The little brunette made her way to hug Nicky. "How about mom? I need a hug too, honey." Lorna chimed in from the other side of the fence. Sage walked wiggly towards her mother and gave her a hug.
"Come on in, Lorna. Let's have this little family bonding inside this cramped play pen." Piper gestured for the older brunette to go over the fence which was immediately followed by Lorna.
*Ding* *Ding* "Oh my gosh! That's my laptop! That must be Pam! Family bonding in this cramped play pen is now over. Our pictures are here!" Nicky says excitedly rushing to stand up to grab her laptop from the couch.

Later that night, Alex and Piper continued looking at the pictures that Pam edited for them. Summer and Robin were in between them while they look at their pictures. The twins had their pacifiers in their mouths and both were also showing signs of drowsiness while playing with their favorite stuffed animals. They were just waiting until one of their children's eyes gave up in opening.
Alex had her laptop on her lap while her legs were outstretched on their king-sized sleigh bed. Robin's head was resting on the right side of her tummy while Summer rested on Piper's left thigh. The twins were lost in their own little drowsy state while Piper and Alex admire the rest of their photos.
The third photo that they were admiring and that made them teary-eyed was a photo of the four of them still sitting with the gifts and their Christmas tree as background. Christmas lights scattered giving a Christmas glow. Alex is seated at Piper's left side. Both women had their legs outstretched and crossed. They were impossibly close to each other.
Alex's right arm is stretched out protectively around Piper's waist while she is kissing her wife on the cheek lovingly with her eyes closed. It is seen that she is smiling into the kiss. Piper, who has her mouth slightly agape due to laughter, was sporting her perfect white teeth leaning in on the kiss. Robin is seated on her shoulders with his tiny hands on top of her mommy's head. He had his cute little antlers while showing his tiny front teeth due to Piper's tickles. Piper's right hand was guiding the little boy not to fall from her shoulders while her left hand is resting on Alex's thigh. Summer is so cute with her baby antlers as well. She is seated on Alex's lap while showing her front teeth due to her chuckles while looking above at her brother. Summer was grasping a candy cane. Alex's left hand guided Summer to stay put on her position.
"That just might be my favorite photo of us, Al." Piper says smiling at her wife. Alex smiled at Piper and then glanced back at the photo.
"Me too." Alex declared joyfully. Suddenly, she noticed that Robin sat up slowly from his previous position staring at her arm. He was still sucking enthusiastically on his pacifier.
"Someone's about to fall asleep." Alex says chuckling. Piper saw Robin staring intently at Alex's forearm.
"I think he finds your tattoo interesting, babe." Piper says giggling as she realizes what her son is looking at.
"Okay, let's look at the last two photos." Alex said as she clicks the 'next' button.
The fourth photo was a slightly different from the others. Pam brought a large gift box, for props, that was large enough for Robin and Summer to fit in but, still short enough for the twins to be able to stand up and hold the edges with their peeping heads out.
In the photo, Alex and Piper are 'opening' the gift box that contains their little bundles of joy. Alex is standing while looking at the gift box that carries her children inside. She is pulling one end of the large present's bow while Piper is kneeling beside the box looking at the twins. Alex and Piper are sporting grins while the babies are seen smiling.
The last photo is one of the best as well. It was Nicky's idea. The Vause family was tied up and bound together by the colorful Christmas lights. Alex was seated on the floor with her front fitting perfectly with Piper's back as Piper sat in front of her wife. Robin and Summer are seated on Piper's right and left thigh respectively. It is as if Alex is hugging her wife and kids from behind bound together by those Christmas lights. Each Vause was laughing at what they assumed was Nicky's gestures. Even the twins are laughing looking at their mommies lovingly.
"I think I want to have a hard copy of everything but, I want the last photo to be our Christmas greeting card's official photo. Piper said in a statement. Alex looked at her confused and then spoke up.
"I thought your favorite one was the third one?" Alex asked.
"Yes. That is my favorite which is why I just want to have it blown up and framed so we can put it here somewhere in the house. And I want three 4R copies of it to be framed." Piper says nonchalantly caressing Summer's back who has now fallen asleep on her side.
"And then? Why do you need three of those?" Alex asked confused. Piper furrowed her eyebrows as she started explaining as if what she is about to say is the most obvious thing in the world.
"One for Popi, one for Big Bar Bugle, and one for Diane's. Oh, and I want two wallet sized photos of it too. Also of the first photo of Robin and Summer." Piper rambled as if she is going to run out of time in telling her wife.
"And let me guess, you just want those pictures for our eyes only?" Alex asked chuckling. Piper nodded and shrugged.
"The fifth photo is still nice though for our greeting card, right?" Piper asked her wife in confirmation. As Alex was about to answer, the raven-haired woman felt her forearm dampen. Robin's pacifier was out of his mouth and her tried kissing or maybe even sucking Alex's tribal band tattoo.
Alex chuckled at this. She can see how sleepy their son was but was really curious about his mama's tattoo. Piper immediately saw this as well as she was looking at Alex waiting for what she is about to say. The older women looked at each other and then chuckled silently.
"That's not a pacifier, honey." Alex said softly towards Robin who was now resting his head on Alex's forearm right beside her tattoo. The little boy is still looking at the tattoo intently, but he is battling with his eyes trying to close due to drowsiness. Alex adjusted so that Robin could rest his head on Alex's side. She immediately caressed her son's back to soothe him and let him fall into a peaceful slumber.
Alex and Piper sat down one day and talked about the twins' sleeping arrangements. They have decided that the twins should be sleeping in their bedroom to avoid them from getting used to sleeping with them in their king-sized bed because recently, Alex and Piper are having separation anxiety with their fast-growing children. Alex looked at her wife with her eyes trying to convey something. They just stared at each other waiting for one another to start speaking up.
"Say it." Piper spoke up.
"No. You say it." Alex challenged her wife. They were thinking about the same thing. Despite talking about the twins' sleeping arrangements, at that very moment, they wanted their children to sleep right there with them in their bed. The older women continued staring at each other until Alex gave up.
"Okay. You win this time, Vause." Alex told her wife while chuckling and then continued speaking. "Can we please just let them sleep here even just for the night?" Alex asked Piper trying to convince her. She knew that the blonde would say yes because she knew when Piper felt the same way.
"Those are exactly the same words I used last night when I asked you." Piper says chuckling. By now, Robin and Summer are breathing deeply which shows that they are now asleep. Alex wiggled her eyebrows as she spoke up.
"Exactly. If it worked on me, it would work on you too." Alex says teasingly. Piper immediately rolled her eyes.
"Oh, shut up, Vause." Piper giggled. Alex closed her laptop and stowed it on her side table to get ready for bed. Piper already fixed Robin and Summer's sleeping position so that she can throw a blanket over them to keep them from getting cold.
Alex was looking at Piper waiting to do their nightly ritual before she closed her bedside lamp. Piper finished covering the twins up from their tummies down to keep them from getting too cold. The blonde then looked up her wife and spoke up.
"Good night, Alex. I love you." Piper says leaning in to kiss her wife on the lips Alex pulled away smiling.
"Night, Pipes. I love you too." Alex says leaning in once again to kiss her wife on the temple and then proceeding to kiss their kids' goodnight, switching off her bed side lamp and going to sleep.

The Vauses have sent out their Christmas greeting cards already. Some greeting cards had an invitation attached on it, but these ones were only for the people closest to their hearts. It is an invitation to spend Christmas at their house on Christmas day. They wanted to make this Christmas special and grand than the past two Christmas's that they had together.
It was about 4:30pm and Alex is waiting for Piper and Summer to arrive from Popi. The raven-haired woman is currently at Big Bar Bugle sitting at one of the empty coffee tables. The Bar is not yet set to open until 6pm so there are no customers yet, but all their friends were working that day. She has finished with her paper works early and decided to sit down and feed her son who was seated on a high chair.
"What's it gonna be for the little man today?" Taystee asked from behind the bar counter. Every time Alex brought Robin to work, she feeds him with fruits that are available for that day and Taystee is always the one preparing it.
"Robin, Taystee's asking what you want to eat, buddy." Alex talks to her son. "What do we have today, Tayst? Alex asked inquiringly.
"We got bananas, grapes, oranges, and mangoes." Taystee says looking at her stocks of fruit. "That's all we got. We have his favorite grape juice too." Taystee added smiling. She knew that it is Robin's favorite.
"Joos! Joos! Ggggwp" Robin says enthusiastically upon hearing Taystee say 'grape juice' Alex and Taystee chuckled.
"I guess it's grape juice for this little guy. He's been trying to say the word 'grape' but, he cannot grasp it yet." Alex told Taystee who just shrugged. "One Robin for Robin!" Taystee says chuckling and then added. "He'll get it soon. He's a smart little boy!" Taystee says handing Alex a small carton of grape juice. The Bar's grape juice is named after the dark-haired boy.
Alex grabbed the juice from Taystee, poked the little carton of juice with the straw that comes with it, gave it to her son and then kissed him on top of the head.
"I love you, honey." Alex tells her son. Alex couldn't believe that from a drug-smuggling and fucking-anyone-just-to-get-the-deal person, she turned out to be this mother who couldn't resist saying 'I love you' to her wife and children.
"Wuv yoo, mama." Robin answers as he receives his grape juice from Alex. The raven-haired woman smiled at her son lovingly. Being advanced in vocabulary for the toddlers had its pros and cons. Piper and Alex loved it when the twins answer whenever they tell them 'I love you' they would get 'Wuv yoo too's or 'Wuv wuv wuvyoo' or if they don't get what they want they get a 'noo mama' or a 'nooo mommeee'. But, sometimes, they could just not grasp what they wanted to say which the doctor said was totally normal.
"The usual for you, Alex?" Taystee asked inquiringly.
"I'll save it for later for when Piper gets here. I'm sure she would like a cup as well." Alex says smiling.
"Oh, the blondes are coming, huh?" Taystee says chuckling. Alex laughed at what Taystee said.
"Yeah, the blondes are coming." Alex repeated giggling.
They do not usually serve coffee at the Big Bar Bugle but, Alex and Nicky, being the coffee lovers that they are, made sure they have a small coffee maker for everyone. They even have a stash of coffee beans in various flavors.
As if on cue, the bell on the door elicited a sound that meant someone just entered. It was Piper with a sleeping little blonde on her body sling. She walked inside the café.
"Hey Dandelion! How is this little flower over here?" Suzanne says in greeting Piper and Summer to that of which she pertained as a little flower. She is currently mopping the floor of the Bar and fixing everything that she is assigned to arrange. Suzanne is doing a great job at her job assignment in BBB.
"Hey, Suzanne. She's asleep. Maybe she got tired playing around all day at Popi." Piper says nonchalantly smiling and continued walking towards the seat near the bar. Suzanne shrugged and continued cleaning the floor smiling.
"There she is! Pequeño bebé durmiente rubio!" Gloria says in her Spanish accent from the Kitchen door. She always gives unlimited advice to Alex and Piper about raising their kids.
"Hey Gloria. How's it going?" Piper asked.
"Everything's all set. Oh yeah, I can cook up something Spanish for when we go to your place on the 25th." Gloria informs Piper and Alex. Piper smiled and as she was about to speak up, Alex spoke.
"Wait I think I know what you said. Is it something like 'Little sleeping baby'?" Alex asked from where she is seated.
"Wow! Impressive, Vause!" Gloria says chuckling. She knew that Piper has been teaching the raven-haired woman some Spanish.
"You missed the 'blondie' part though." Blanca says chuckling while peeping from the dispatching area, a hole where the food items are sent out from the kitchen to the bar. Alex and Piper laughed at what Blanca said. Piper is now walking towards her wife.
"Hey." Alex said greeting her wife enthusiastically.
"Hey yourself." Piper smiled and immediately leaned in to give her wife a chaste kiss on the lips. Piper pulled away and then Alex leaned in to kiss her sleeping daughter on the head. After that, Piper walked towards the little boy who was happily drinking his grape juice and gave him a kiss on the top of the head.
"Hey, honey. How did your day go? Were you a good boy for mama?" Piper asked her little boy.
"Hey Taystee." Piper greeted the bartender.
"Hey blondie! Got some soaps for me?" Taystee asked in a playful tone. Piper chuckled at this.
"Tell me what you want, and I'll bring you some." Piper informs her while Taystee is still chuckling. The blonde proceeded to caress Robin's head as she missed the little boy.
"Wuvyoo mom mee." Robin says as he is still happily devouring into his grape juice. Piper was shocked at what her son said. They usually just hear those from the twins when the older women say it first. She snapped her head towards Alex as if asking if she heard that. Her shocked mouth that was agape is now turning into a huge smile.
"I love you too, baby." Piper says smiling and then gave her son a kiss on the cheek.
"He's on a roll. I guess he's happy with his juice." Alex says chuckling whilst shrugging. Suddenly Piper's phone rang loudly. The blonde looked at her phone and her eyes widened in panic which didn't come unnoticed by Alex.
"I have to get this." Piper says as she walked going outside to answer the call. Alex's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. She was taken aback by Piper's gesture. They never kept anything from each other anymore but, the way Piper's eyes widened in panic, Alex knew that something was up. It was also the first time that Piper stepped out to receive a call.
Alex respected her wife's clients calls and tried not listening to it every time she answers in front of Alex. It was just weird that the blonde had to step outside for her to receive the call and she didn't know what to think about it so, she decided to look at how Piper talked on her phone.
The Bar has a one-way all-glass façade wherein you can see the outside from inside but won't be able to see the inside from outside. Alex saw Piper smiling into the brief conversation and then laughing. She also saw Piper kissing Summer on top of her head while listening through the phone. The blonde was nodding as the conversation ended. She saw that Piper smiled after hanging up looking at her phone. 'Who could that be?' Alex thought.
"Mama! Joos! Joos!" Robin babbled while waving the empty juice carton and then biting on the straw. Alex looked at her son as she saw Piper walking towards them on her peripheral vision.
"You want another one, buddy? How about you get one with Summer when she wakes up, okay?" Alex says assuring her son who was still biting onto the straw. Piper surprisingly leaned in to kiss Alex on the temple and sat down beside her smiling.
"Who was that on the phone? A client?" Alex asked her wife lovingly. Piper avoided Alex's eyes as her eyes was stricken with panic once again which Alex noticed again. Piper shook her head.
"Nahh. No one important. Are we having coffee?" Piper says trying to leave the subject. Alex's eyebrows furrowed in confusion once again but, she just let it go. She knew that she'll get at the bottom of whatever Piper is up to. She trusts her wife anyway, it was just unusual for her to do what she just did.
"Yes! Tayst can we get our usual cups please?" Alex asked smiling at Taystee then squeezing her wife's hand.
"Yes, our usuals, please?" Piper agreed at what her wife said and then noticed that Summer was stirring in her sling.
"Better wake her up now so she can sleep early tonight." Alex says with a wink. Piper turned a shade of red at Alex's sexual innuendo and then giggled.
"What are you planning tonight, Vause?" Piper asked her wife teasingly.
"A lot of things, babe! Wouldn't you like to know?" Alex says answering banter.
"Oh, come on, lesbians! No sexual innuendo's in the bar!" Nicky says teasing her friends as she came from the bar office.
"Hello to you too, Nicky!" Alex says laughing.
"We were a bit loud, weren't we?" Alex asked chuckling.
"Oh, everyone in the bar now knows what you are going to have for dinner. Or dessert maybe? Dinner or dessert?" Red asked teasing in her thick Russian accent. She also just came out of the office. Piper wasn't embarrassed but, she just blushed profusely because everyone in the bar was teasing them. Alex rolled her eyes in mock annoyance while laughing. Finally, Summer's eyes opened looking straight at Alex.
"Someone's awake!" Alex says in her sing-song voice, looking at her daughter.
"And someone's happy that Summer's awake." Taystee said in her teasing tone. Everyone including Piper laughed at Taystee's teasing.
"Oh, shut up!" Alex says laughing as well. She turned scarlet upon hearing Taystee's teasing.
"Mama." Summer says in her sleepy voice. Robin called out to her sister with his random babbles and mumbles. He cannot say Summer's name yet. "Mama." Sumer repeated as she stretched her arm pointing at Alex.
"Okay, okay. Come here." Alex says as she stood up helping Summer out of the sling.
"She missed you, Al." Piper says smiling.
"How about you? You didn't miss me?" Alex asked her wife pouting. Finally, she got Summer and gave her daughter a comforting hug and kiss on the cheek. Piper looked up as if thinking of her answer.
"Hmmmm. Maybe not?" Piper teased and then spoke up again as she saw Alex's face turned from bright to gloomy.
"No, I'm just kidding, babe. Of course, I missed you too." Piper giggled fixing a strand of Alex's hair putting it behind the older woman's ear.
"Here are your coffees! Black coffee double double for Alex and white chocolate mocha for Piper." Taystee says giving them the drink. "Does the little blonde girl want some juice too?" Taystee says caressing Summer's tiny head. Summer was just looking at her while still all out of it due to her just waking up.
"Joos! Joos! weeep" Robin says excitedly hearing the word 'juice' from Taystee.
"Yes, please Tayst. Their usual juices as well, please" Piper says chuckling. "That's your second carton, Robin and that's enough for today." Piper tells her son. Nicky and Red sat on the chairs beside Piper and Alex. Gloria also walked that way wanting to carry the little girl.
"Hey, Nicholas, my Nicholas." Nicky greeted her god child, using his middle name.
"Come here to babushka my baby boy." Red says as she grabs Robin from the high-chair.
"Abuela quiere llevar a la niña!" Gloria says in her thick Spanish accent. "Did you understand that, Vause?" Gloria asked smiling.
"Well, abuela means grandma. So, I assume you are abuela and niña means girl, so I assume that is Summer." Alex says thinking. She handed Summer to Gloria as the short-haired woman was gesturing for her to give her Summer. Piper nodded in approval.
"And? I told you 'llevar', babe. Remember? Piper asked with her eyebrows raised. Alex closed her eyes trying to remember what it meant and then shook her head.
"Nope. I can't remember." Alex chuckled.
Everyone enjoyed their remaining time with the twins. Alex and Piper together with the twins are all set to go home right before the bar opened. Nicky was set to go home an hour after as she will be picking up Lorna at Popi as well.
The Vauses said goodbye to everyone and reminded them about Christmas day dinner at their house and told them not to forget to bring their presents jokingly.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
It was 10:00pm when Alex and Piper were settling in their king-sized bed. Robin and Summer were now asleep at their room. The women were looking forward to a satisfying night with just the two of them. They were just talking about their day casually while browsing stuff through their phones. Alex was answering last minute emails and Piper was using her phone as well.
"Pipes, I'm done emailing. Are you done? Can we please turn the lights off now?" Alex asked as she rubbed Piper's legs nearing to her core. Piper was lying on her tummy with her head at the end of the bed while Alex was sitting against the back board of the bed. She tried squeezing her wife's thigh several times but, the blonde didn't budge as she was busy with her phone.
"Okay, we can. I just need to go to the bathroom really quick. I really need to pee like in the past ten minutes. I was just holding it in." Piper says chuckling and then throwing her phone on the bed and rushing to the bathroom.
Alex heard the whooping sound of Piper's iPhone which signaled that there was a message received several times which caught her attention. She saw that Piper didn't lock her phone and was texting an unknown number. She got up and looked at the phone. She held the phone and read the text.
She trusts Piper whole-heartedly. It is just very unusual that Piper is texting someone with an unknown number that time of the night. Alex read the conversation.
Unknown Number: Okay. I'll text you tomorrow.
Unknown Number: Or maybe call… Just keep your phone beside you because I don't know what to tell your wife if she answers!
Unknown Number: Night! Love you too!
Alex's eyes widened in shock. 'Who the hell is this person and why is this person going to text Piper tomorrow? Why did it seem like that person is afraid of me picking up Piper's phone? And why did this person tell my wife "Love you too"? Did it mean that Piper said it first?' These are the thoughts in Alex's mind. She scrolled up until the top to read the whole conversation.
Unknown Number: Piper, we got the deal ;-)
Piper: Shit! That's great!
Piper: You cannot tell anyone about this! Alex cannot know about this! Not yet!
Unknown Number: You better tell her. She's going to know eventually.
Piper: I'm looking for the perfect time, okay? This is ironic but, I don't want to break it to her on Christmas day. She might lose her mind and not come back to me anymore. :-(
Unknown Number: Oh, she'd leave for good if she finds out about this.
Unknown Number: She might even leave with the twins.
There were still more messages exchanged but Alex heard Piper coming out from the bathroom. Alex didn't finish reading the whole conversation which is why she is now mad. She didn't know what to think and she wanted an explanation. She was holding Piper's phone when Piper saw her.
Piper's eyes widened in panic. She rushed towards Alex and searched her eyes.
"Alex? What is it?" Piper asked slightly worried. Alex just stared at her wife questioningly while holding Piper's phone up. Piper saw the opened conversation.
"Who is this unknown number, Pipes? What are you keeping from me?" Alex asked seriously with glassy eyes. Piper's eyes were glassy as well not knowing when to speak up.

Who could it be? What is Piper keeping from Alex?
