Alex wakes up, Ernie is laying at the foot of the bed, on her side, like always. She gets up, changed into shorts and a tshirt and grabs his leash, heading out for their daily walk.
7 in the morning, and Ernie already is ready to go. He pulls Alex along
"Dude. Chill. Seriously." She says, tugging him back a little
They make it to a little creek that is on their route, and she lets him off the leash, and he jumps right in. She watches him splash in the water, overturning rocks and curiously chasing the little bait fish swimming around.
She looks at her watch, 7:30 am.
"Okay, let's go. We've got to get back, bud." She says, clapping her hands, and the dog immediately runs over to her, and they head back to the house.
She quietly slips off her shoes, and hangs his leash up, then fills his bowl up with some organic dog food that Piper insists on giving him, because apparently he can't just have regular name brand food.
She tiptoes down the hall, and turns into the bedroom. Piper is still asleep, and she smiles, shutting the door quietly, and locking it.
She slips back into her side of the bed, scooting in closer to her, and gently brushing a blonde stray hair out of her face. Piper doesn't even flinch.
She looks over her, soft skin, with a few faint wrinkles, really just laugh lines surrounding her mouth. Those pink lips, and she just wants to kiss them. Her eyes flutter every so often, and she crinkles her nose. She looks so peaceful, and Alex almost decides to leave her be, but then she catches scent of her body wash. That vanilla lavender smell, and Alex is drawn in.
She kisses her forehead, and then down her jawline, and to her neck. She kisses a little harder just under her ear, and Piper moves slightly, and Alex pauses. Her fingers trace down Piper's back, and the blonde makes a whisper sort of noise, but stays asleep. Alex can't help herself and slips her hand into the back of her underwear, and grabs her ass, pulling her closer to her. Piper moans quietly, eyes fluttering a little more as Alex kisses her chest, and then over one of her nipples.
She has Piper's attention now, as the blonde sleepily says her name. Alex. She gently tugs at her underwear, and slips it off the blonde who is starting to wake up. She tugs the bedsheet off, completely exposing her, and kisses down her stomach, and Piper shifts, lifting a little. She can smell her now, as she rolls onto her stomach, in between Piper's legs and looks up when she hears a small gasp. Piper's eyes are hooded, and barely focused on her as Alex flashes her a devilish smile, and kisses the inside of her thigh, dangerously close to her center.
"Al" Piper moans out
"Good" Alex kisses her center, "Morning." she kisses her again, and Piper's hips lift off the bed, and she is wide awake now
Piper's fingers find Alex's hair in a split second as her wife's mouth comes down harder on her this time, her tongue venturing out, and Piper feels her eyes roll back into her head.
Piper is not a morning person, but if this is how she could wake up every morning, she could probably become one very quickly.
"Al, more. Please." She begs as Alex licks dangerously slow
"Shhh…" Alex says, sending vibrations straight onto Piper's core, and she can't help the whine that escapes her mouth.
Alex begins working her over with her fingers, and Piper's grip tightens in her hair, and Alex smiles.
"Al, I'm gonna. Dear…God." Piper says almost out of breath
Alex speeds up, and sucks on her most sensitive spot with perfect timing of her thrusts, and she feels Piper contract around her.
"Fuck. Alex. Oh God!" Piper moans out, as she crashes over the edge of a blinding climax, sending shockwaves through her entire body. She shivers as Alex kisses her one final time before kissing her way up her heaving chest, and then back to her lips, as Piper can taste herself on Alex's lips.
Alex smiles at the flushed woman, and pushes her sweaty hair back off her face.
"Alex, I love you." Piper says, still trying to catch her breath.
Alex laughs, and kisses her again. "I love you too, Pipes. Happy Birthday."
The blondes eyes widen, and she smiles, "Birthday sex. That's how I get to wake up. Oh I am a lucky woman."
Alex smiles, "And it's only…" she glances at the alarm clock on the side table "8:34 am, so there is plenty more to look forward to today." Before giving Piper another kiss.
Alex is sitting on the couch while Piper is pouring herself another cup of coffee when Addie comes sleepily walking down the stairs and towards Alex.
"Goodmorning, sleepy head." She says as Addie crawls into her lap.
Alex leans down and whispers in her ear
"You should probably go and say Happy Birthday to Mama, okay?" and Addie smiles, getting up quickly and shuffling into the kitchen and wrapping around Piper's waist
"Happy Birthday, Mama!" she yells, and Piper laughs, turning and kissing the top of her head.
"Thank you, love."
"What do you want to do today?" Addie asks, looking up at her.
"Well…" she lifts Addie onto the counter behind her, "I was thinking we would just hang out here. That's all I want to do today is be with you all."
"Really Pipes? That's it? You don't want to go out or anything? We can do whatever you want." Alex says, turning around on the couch to face her
"Yeah, really. I just want to be here, with all of you, and just hang out. Maybe grill out later. Call up Nicky and Lorna and see if they want to come over." She says, pushing back Addie's messy bedhead.
"Yeah, if that's what you want to do." Alex says
"That's exactly what I want to do." Piper smiles at her.
Within the next half hour, Alex decides that the other two kids aren't going to get out of bed without a push to do so, so she goes upstairs.
She walks into Aiden's room, which looks like a small bomb went off in it.
"Okay, seriously dude. You've got to do something about this room." She says, sitting on his bed, and pulling the covers away from him
"Mommm" he groans, trying to get them back
"No way. It's almost 10:30, and it's Mama's birthday, so you need to get up and go tell her happy birthday, and then you can clean your room because this is seriously like a danger zone."
"But-"
"Nope. No buts. Get up, man." She says, and he slowly kicks his feet out of bed and onto the floor.
She goes to Ella's room next.
She walks in and sees Piper's mini me. Looks just like her, even when she's sleeping. Alex can't help the smile on her face.
"Elle, babe, time to get up."
"It's summer." She grumbles back
"Yes, that's true. But it's also your mom's birthday, so you need to get up."
Ella's eyes fly open.
"I knew that. Ugh, I just forgot. I have something for her." Elle smiles, getting out of bed quickly.
Alex sits, watching her as Ella goes to her closet and pulls out a large frame, that fits a bunch of pictures in different places, and she turns it towards Alex.
"Do you think she'll like it?"
Alex looks at all the pictures. One is of Piper and Ella shortly after she was born. Still in the hospital. There is one of her first Christmas, and Piper is holding Ella next to the tree, pointing out all the ornaments to her. Another is after the twins were born, Piper is sitting on their bed, the twins are newborns, and laying on their backs while Ella is next to Piper watching them as Piper tickles Aiden's belly, and she has this huge, beautiful smile. The last one is Alex and Piper, with Ella on her first birthday, in the pool, all have huge smiles as Ella is in that floating carrier.
Alex smiles at all the pictures.
"Elle this is amazing. She is going to love it."
"You think so? I painted the frame myself, and Aunt Nicky helped me get all the pictures together."
"This is great. You did good, kid." She smiles, pulling her in by her side.
A couple of hours later and the kids are splashing in the pool that they had built and finished right before Memorial Day. Aiden jumps off the diving board as Piper watches from the edge, a margarita sitting right next to her.
Alex is tossing dive sticks for Ella and Addie, and looks over at Piper who isn't facing her. She sees her tattoo on the back of her neck since her hair is pulled up. She tells the girls to take turns diving for them, and quietly swims up behind Piper.
She wraps her arms around her waist fro behind and places a soft kiss on the tattoo.
"Having a good birthday?" Alex asks in a lower voice, almost a whisper
"Yes" Piper smiles, turning to her, and placing her arms loosely around her neck, kissing her.
"Is there anything you absolutely want to do for your birthday, besides swimming, and playing with the kids, and cooking out with everyone?" Alex asks seriously
Piper gives a small smile, "Well the other things I want to do are not things we can do around the kids or friends, so that'll just have to wait until later." She says, winking, and tucking Alex's hair behind her ear.
"Well it is your birthday, so anything you want." Alex says, raising her eyebrows, and smiling
"Let me think about it some more, and I'll let you know exactly what I want tonight." Piper grins, and lifts her thigh just a bit hitting Alex's core, and making her gasp.
"Piper Chapman-Vause, you dirty girl." She says quietly, laughing.
Just then, a booming voice comes through the gate
"I heard there was a party!" Nicky says, carrying in some grocery bags, and a large case of Coronas.
"Happy Birthday, blondie!" She says, setting it all down on the patio table
"Thank you Nicky. Where's Lorna?"
"She couldn't make it. Not feeling too hot today, but she sent me with gifts, and her apologies." Nicky says looking over at Alex and Piper, who are still clinging to each other. "Ah, the birthday glow is all over you two" she says, winking seductively at them
"Oh God." Piper says, resting her forehead on Alex's shoulder.
"Aunt Nicky!" Aiden says, running out of the house and to her
"Hey man!" She says, getting to his level and giving her a hug
"Did you bring popsicles or anything?!" he asks excitedly
"You already know, kid." She says, reaching into a bag and pulling out an entire box of them. She looks at Piper, "Sorry Piper, they're not the organic kinds with the real fruit infusions or anything, they are the cheap ones that come in the pack of like 50."
Piper laughs, "Nick, it's fine. Thank you."
"I'm going to go and start the grill, and get the food going. Okay?" Alex says
"Alrighty, sounds good." Piper smiles, letting her go
Alex puts a cover up on and goes to start the grill, Nicky coming over to her.
"So Lorna? Not feeling good."
Nicky pops the top to her bottle of beer, and takes a sip.
"Nah, not good. She's sorry she couldn't make it."
"What's wrong with her?" Alex asks, lighting the grill
"Uh, you know, just a stomach bug, or something."
Alex looks at her seriously, "Yikes. Well you better watch out. Don't want to catch that."
Nicky scoffs a little, "I don't think it's anything I can catch." She says, taking another sip and looking away.
Alex stops for a second and whips her head at her, slapping her on the arm.
"Oh shit. She's—she totally is." Alex smiles at the wild haired woman who blushes.
"She's what?" Nicky tries to play it off by taking another sip.
"Nichols, don't you try to do that. I know. She's pregnant, isn't she?!" Alex excitedly whispers.
"Alright, alright. Keep it down. We aren't telling anyone yet. She'd kill me if she knew you knew. You better not say anything."
"Aw, Nichols. You're gonna be a mom. Holy shit. That's crazy to think about. How are you feeling about the whole thing?" Alex smiles at her.
"Jesus Christ. I am freaking out all the time. It's not even here, and I am concerned. I don't know how you've done it 3 times." She says, shaking her head
"Welcome to parenthood, Nick. That worry feeling never goes away." She smiles, watching her kids play in the pool. "Trust me. From the moment we found out about Elle, I haven't stopped worrying. But it's a good kind of worrying. And then they get here, and all the worrying is worth it. I'm really happy for you." She smiles at the shorter woman.
"I'm so excited, and so scared, but I'm ready. We are ready. She's been wanting this for a long time."
"I know she has. So, does Red know?"
"Not yet, we aren't planning on announcing for a couple more weeks. You know, just inc—." she stops
Alex looks at her sympathetically, remembering the fear of the first couple of months when Piper was pregnant. "I know. I get it. Trust me."
Nicky smiles, tears in her eyes. "Okay, enough of that. I want to jump in because it's fucking hot out here." She says, taking off her outfit over top of her bathing suit, and running to the pool, jumping in with the kids.
"Okay! Dinner is ready!" Alex yells, and kids come running, Nicky not far behind.
"Thanks, babe." Piper says, tracing her fingernails down Alex's back
They all eat on the deck, and the sun starts to go down. Alex and Aiden build a little fire in the fire pit, and everybody gathers around, Nicky bringing out the items she brought for s'mores.
Ella brings out her gift for Piper, and sets it in front of her, letting her tear the wrapping away. She stops when it's free, and covers her mouth, as tears well up in her eye.
"Elle, baby, it's beautiful. I love it so much. Thank you."
"You're welcome. I'm glad you love it." Ella says, hugging PIper.
Piper whispers in her ear, "I love you so much, baby. Thank you."
Piper comes, and sits on Alex's lap, legs draping over the arm of the chair.
"Thank you for all of this." She says quietly
"You don't need to thank me. Happy Birthday, Pipes." She smiles, kissing her
Nicky tells scary stories to the kids, and Piper and Alex watch as their faces light up in the glow of the fire, and laugh at how ridiculous Nicky is.
Alex looks at her phone "11:21. Okay, kids, it is way passed bed time, so say goodnight to Aunt Nicky, and go hop in the shower, and go to bed."
They don't even protest, because they're so tired. All say goodnight to Nicky, and wish their mother a happy birthday before heading inside.
"Okay, I'm going to head out. It's getting late." Nicky says, getting up
"You can always stay here tonight if you're too tired." Piper says
"Oh no. It's just a 20 minute drive, and I wouldn't want to risk being kept awake by your birthday celebrations." She wiggles her eyebrows at Piper and Alex who laugh.
"Oh God" Piper laughs
"Normally I'd protest, but not tonight." She says, rubbing Piper's thigh and smiling at her, as the blonde pulls her in for another kiss
"Okay, gross. I'm going to go. Happy Birthday, Piper. See you all soon." Nicky says, walking out the back gate.
Half an hour later, kids are bathed and in bed, when Alex walks back into the bedroom, Piper resting against the headboard, waiting for her.
She crawls onto the bed, crawling towards her, grabbing her by her calves, and pulling her to her.
"I hope you had a good birthday." She says lowly, kissing her neck
"It was the best." Piper says in a strained voice
"Yeah? What was the best part?" Alex asks, her fingers playing at the hem of Piper's shirt before tugging it over her head.
"Ummm, let me think. Well…" she blushes a little
"Come on. Tell me." Alex says, hands cupping her breasts, and kneading them
"The wake up birthday sex was pretty phenomenal."
"Oh, yeah? That good?" Piper asks, unhooking her bra
"Yeah, that fucking good." Piper gasps as her nipples strain against Alex's palms.
Alex kisses her collarbones.
"Anything else?"
"Well, seeing you in that bathing suit was pretty good." She whispers, letting all control go to Alex
"Yeah? Well what else would you like for your birthday, Pipes?" Alex asks, looking into her eyes
"I'd like you." She says
And that's all she needs to say for Alex to give herself to her.
Okay. That's it. I am so so so so sorry for the long wait for the update. Season 3, in my opinion, was terrible. Granted, the first half was good for Vauseman, I really was so disappointed with the second half, and how Piper's 2 seasons of character development were quickly torn apart, and she became an unrecognizable character. It was painful. It was so difficult to get back into the mood to write anything Vauseman because so much damage was done this season. I don't want to rant too much, but I do want to apologize for the wait.
Also apologies for the typos. I'll fix them later, I just wrote this like 2 hours ago, and it's been a very long work week.
I hope you like it. I added quite a bit of Vauseman smut, because I think it had been awhile since anything like that had happened in this story.
And I felt like it was finally time for Nicky and Lorna to get their bit of happiness, and start their family, so we will go into that in the next chapter, or so.
Thanks to all readers still following this story, and to the new readers who are just now joining. I can't believe there's over 100 follows on this story, and almost 200 reviews. You are all amazing, and I can't thank you enough for all of the support.
Please, please, please don't forget to review. I love reading them, and they really help me get motivated to update.
Until next time…
