CHAPTER 32: Christmas in Paris

ALEX'S P.O.V

Oh, my word I cannot believe that piper had organised a surprise wedding for us. This is so romantic and all our friends are here. Oh, my word I do not even know what to say right now.

She woke up very ear and left the hotel room and now here is a gift with a note on it.

…...…NOTE…...

Hey Al baby. I really cannot wait

To be your wife and I hope you cannot too.

I have your dress in the closet and

The make-up artist will be there shortly with Nicky.

Diane will meet you when you are done and will take

You to where we will be getting married.

I love you

Your Piper

XOXOX

…..

I opened the gift to find a set of diamond earrings with a matching necklace. They are beautiful. I cannot wait to finish up so I could see Piper as soon as possible. There is a know on the door and when I opened, Nicky was behind it with the make-up artist, Jason.

"Hey Stretch. Ready to be dolled up for your girl Piper and be tied down?"

"Hello Nichols and…

"Jason"

"Right Jason please do come in and forgive my friend for her bad manner." Alex opened the door wider for them. They got in and Nicky threw herself on the couch whilst Jason put her staff on the dresser.

"So you are the bride to be? Oh honey I got just the look for you." Jason said, as he looked Alex up and down. Good thing he was gay or Alex would have gave him a snarky comment.

"Stretch you ready to be with the same woman for the rest of your life? I mean you did not even get to enjoy the last day of freedom with me your pal. We could've hit the strip clubs around here." Nicky said while playing with her phone.

"Yes Nicky I am. Piper is the only woman for me." Alex said and went on to sit down so Jason could get to work. Soon all was done and Alex had to admit that she looked hot as fuck.

"Piper is going to drool over you honey."

"I have to agree stretch, you look smokin' hot."

"Thanks guys." Alex got into her dress and she looked like an angel. Nicky for the first time in forever was speechless.

Alex was wearing a strapless, silk fishtail dress that hugged her curves perfectly. The tail of the dress was a bit longer and she had on white strapped high heels with rhinestones on them. The veil was almost as long as the dress and covered her smooth milky skin on her arms. Her hair was pinned on the side and flowed on one side where she did not have any tattoos.

When Diane came in, she was tearing up. Alex could not hold her tears much longer.

"Good thing I used waterproof makeup." Jason said watching the scene unfold in front of him.

"Oh baby you look beautiful. You look like an angel. I am so happy for you." Diane pulled Alex into a tight embrace.

"Thanks mom. For everything." Alex said in the crooked of her mother's shoulder.

"You ready to get married to the love of your life?" Diane asked while pulling away from the hug but still holding both of Alex's hands into her own.

"Yes mom I am. I can't wait to see Piper in her dress." Alex said with a smile that reached her eyes.

"Okay Ally Cat its time to go. You ready?" Diane asked her daughter.

"Like I was born for this. Let's go." Alex said and they all headed out the door. Jason left and Nicky, Diane and Alex found a white limousine waiting for them outside.

Walking down the corridors of the hotel, Alex turned all heads to hear. Man and woman lusted after her whilst other girls wished to be her at this moment.

"Wow Piper went all out. Dam this is going to be the wedding of the year." Nicky said.

"She really did. It shows that she is willing to do anything for you Ally cat." Diane added and Alex just smiled sincerely.

They arrived at the venue on time and what a wow. The place was magnificent. The décor was amazing. The were lilies, white and stargazers everywhere and red roses were laid on the white carpet were the brides were to walk down.

The moment Alex walked by the door the music (Christina Perri – A Thousand Years) started to play and she hooked her arm with Diane's and walked down the aisle. Everyone stood up and some shed a few tears at the beauty of one Alex Vause.

They reached the end and Diane kissed Alex on the cheek and went on to sit down. Now they were waiting for Piper to come down. Alex was anxious and thought time could not just fly through fast.

The music started again and all heads turned to the door where Piper is to appear. The doors opened and oh my word. Piper was the most beautiful being Alex had ever seen. She was the real angel with her golden locks curled and flowing off her shoulders.

Alex could not look anywhere else but at the person she is about to marry. Their eyes met and they both could not look away and Piper could not walk any faster. They reached Alex and Carol gave Piper's hand to Alex and kissed Piper's cheek.

I could not hear anything the officiate said because I was in a trance while looking at her beauty. Piper is even glowing and she is about to be mine forever.

"Do you Piper Elizabeth Chapman take Alex Pearl Vause to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold? In sickness and health, for rich and for poorer. Till death do you part?" The officiate looked at Piper for an answer.

"I do."

"Do you Alex Pearl Vause take Piper Elizabeth Chapman to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold? In sickness and health, for rich and for poorer. Till death do you part?" The officiate looked at Alex for an answer.

…

"Alex…" Piper whispered to get Alex out of her trance.

"Pipes, I have to tell you something. Please listen and don't hate me."

"Alex what is so important that could not wait until after the wedding. I am sure we can fix it." Piper was getting worried.

"Promise you won't leave me…" Alex was already crying.

"Alex what is it?" Pipe was frustrated and getting worked up.

"I kissed Carol. It was a mistake and was not meant to happen. I was asleep that day we were watching a movie and I thought she was you and I kissed her but when I realised it was not you I stopped. I am sorry baby it was a mistake that will never happen." Alex was crying and Piper was livid.

There gasps in the hall and shocked faces whilst Carol hid her face in her arms.

"Alex WHAT THE FUCK. THAT IS MY MOTHER YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. AND WHAT? SO IF YOU CUDDLE WITH SOMEONE IS SHOULD BE WORRIED THAT YOU WILL KISS THEM TOO? THIS IS FUCKING SICK ALEX; IT IS MY MOTHER, AND MY MOTHER WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. IF IT WERE SOMEONE MAYBE, I WOULD FORGIVE YOU BUT NOT THIS. FUCK YOU. THIS WEDDING IS OFF." Piper stormed off.

"PIIPEEEEEEERRR please don leave me. Let's talk about this"

"Piper it was a mistake" Alex fell to the ground crying and crawling after Piper. Her legs could carry her weight.

"ALEX honey…"

"Alex baby…."

"ALEX WAKE UP BABY IT'S JUST A DRREAM." Piper could see her fiancée drenching in sweat and knew she was having a bad dream. Alex woke up and sat up rapidly hyperventilating.

"PIPER? Oh Piper baby you are here. You didn't leave me" Alex clung to Piperas if she was scared Piper would disappear.

"It's okay Al. I am hear. You want to tell me what it was about?" Piper drew soothing patterns on Alex's back to comfort her.

Alex did not want to keep it from Piper. It is the least she could do for waking her up at these wee hours. She told her what it was about and how she was screaming for Piper to not leave her.

"Wait it did not happen right?" Alex looked at Piper in horror and incredulously as if she had grown two heads.

"Hey just making sure."

"How could you say that, of course it didn't happen, Ewe I don't even want to think about it okay. It was bad enough you left me because of that in my dreams and I am glad I actually did not dream about it too. Just the consequences," Alex shivered at the thought but did not let go of Piper.

"So I guess if I had planned a surprise wedding it was ruined by your dream?" Piper asked teasingly.

"Wait you did not, did you?" Alex asked a bit shocked and scared too.

"No I did not. I want our wedding to be what we both want, not a surprise that you might later regret." Piper said as she pulled Alex back down on the pillows with her.

"As long as I get to call you my wife without any hinges like my dream I will always be happy." Alex responded sincerely.

"Good to know. Now come on babe lets go back to bed. How about I be the bigger spoon for once?" Alex was always the bigger spoon and Piper cherished the times she got a chance, usually when Alex is down or sad, missing her mom or had a nightmare.

"I would like that very much. Please hold me tight until I fall asleep? I just want to feel your presence. That will ease my mind." They got out of bed and shed their clothes.

Not to have sex but just to feel their bodies against each other was always comforting to them. They felt connected to a completely new level. Alex said as she scooted into Piper's front with her back. They fell asleep without any more bad dreams until morning.

"Mmm, good morning Al. Merry Christmas babe" Piper kissed Alex on her nose and then on her lips softly.

"Morning Pipes. Merry Christmas to you too." Alex repeated the same ministrations to Piper and then nuzzled into Piper's chest and held on tightly.

"How did you sleep after the nightmare?" Piper asked softly.

"Good. It did not come back anymore, of which I am grateful for. I am sorry I woke you. How did you sleep?" Alex turned her head so her chin was now on Piper's chest and they were facing each other.

"You do not need to apologize Al, I will always wake up if ever you need me and I slept okay. Now come on lets go join our moms and wish them a Merry Christmas.

They got out of bed, changed into matching Christmas pyjamas, and went out to meet their moms.

"Good morning and Merry Christmas." Alex said with Piper by her side and her hand on Alex's back.

They booked the penthouse at a hotel where you could see the Eifel tower when you stand on the balcony. Diane was making breakfast while Carol was king hot chocolate.

"Good morning girls. Aw, I see you guys already have your own tradition of matching pyjamas. You look so cute; don't they look so cute Diane?" Carol said while pouring the liquid into four mugs.

"They sure do. Merry Christmas girls. Come let us have breakfast so we could watch Christmas movies while we have hot chocolate." Diane beckoned them to come sit by the breakfast bar with them.

They enjoyed breakfast with the mother's sharing embarrassing stories about their daughters. It was really a fun morning. They watched movies until noon when Piper suddenly jumped up and down on the couch she shared with Alex and screaming.

"Presents time! Presents time! Come on guys lets open our gifts."

"But Pipes we did not get you any presents." Alex wanted to see how Piper would react.

"It doesn't matter Al, I already have anything I need but come on, come see what I got for everyone." Piper was like a kid and her happiness rubbed off on everyone. They shared a laugh, went on to the tree they asked the hotel to get for them, and retrieved their gifts.

Piper and Alex bought Carol a 34 carat diamond necklace that matched earrings and a bracelet, two tickets to a musical show that she loves so much, hairspray.

"Aw thank you so much girls. How did you manage to get this tickets that I have been looking for months."

"Well actually Alex managed to pull some strings with a friend from class whose father is the director," Piper said smiling lovingly at Alex.

"Well thank you very much." She hugged both girls and Alex tensed a little but not much for anyone to notice except for Piper and she felt sorry for her fiancée.

"It's a pleasure "they both said.

They then gave Diane a beautiful long winter coat, two tickets to a destination of her choice and a key.

"Oh man you girls are just too much. Thank you very much for this. However what are the keys for?" they are for the apartment you will be staying in, should you decide to move to Manhattan." Piper answered with a hopeful smile.

"Aw girls. Thank you very much. It's like you knew that I have decided to move after our trip. I even served a notice too." Alex was motionless. She could not believe her ears. She would finally have her mother close by. Tears fell silent from her eyes and Diane pulled her in her arms for a tight embrace.

"You are not messing with me right mom? This is for real?" Alex needed to be sure before she could be all happy.

"This is real baby. I want to be close by and help you guys and Carol keep you in line and it wouldn't hurt to be closer should you guys give us grandchildren. Soon hopefully." Mother teased to ease the tension and Carol agreed.

"Whoa we not even married yet. Let's take things one step at a time." Alex said with a genuine smile on her face.

"Okay my turn, my turn" Diane said ushering everyone to take a sit.

"You agreeing to move is already a gift for us mom."

"Oh shush Piper, I can't turn back with this gifts now can I?" Diane now that she had one job and paid for nothing but food could afford to get real gifts. Diane bought Piper the 1st edition of Romeo and Juliet. She got Alex her father's sticks that she used to play with. Alex did not have anything that belonged to her father. She also gave Alex her grandmother's ring that she gave Diane before she died.

"Oh Diane thank you very much for this. How did you manage to get the first edition?" Piper asked as she pulled Diane into a warm hug.

"You are welcome honey. We Vause woman have a few tricks up our sleeves. It's a secret but don't worry you are to be a part of the family so you will learn." The four chuckled at this.

"Ally cat baby I know you know nothing about your father but he loved you really much. I told you all this time that he was a drummer in a famous band so this are his sticks so I want you to have them. You could sell them or keep them, it is up to you."

Diane said as she pulled her daughter into a tight hug. Alex just loved her mom so much and she is happy that her mom is moving to Manhattan and now she is giving her the only thing that she had of the only man she ever loved.

"Thank you very much mom. I love you so much." They pulled away from the embrace and continued with the presents.

"Well Carol, I heard from the girls that you work a lot so I hope you like my gift." Diane got Carol vouchers to a full spa day, mani's and pedi's for three months. She also made her a red beanie, gloves and a scarf for winter embroided with her name, like those she gave Piper and Alex a while ago.

"AW Diane that is so thoughtful of you. Thank you very much. You know I was always jealous of Piper and Alex wearing their matching and unique beanie, scarf and gloves and I was so close to asking you to make some for me too so I am glad I got them."

Everyone laughed at this and Diane was happy Carol loved her gift.

"I am glad you like them."

Carol's turn to give presents and she started with Diane.

"It's like we were thinking the same thing actually. I hope you like my gifts too." Carol said as she handed Diane the gift. Inside was a voucher for anything that Diane could ever want to buy the moment she gets to Manhattan and spa voucher."

I did not just want to buy you anything that was meaningless so hence this voucher so you could redecorate your apartment. And the spa voucher because I know you will be tired after moving in so you will definitely need it." Carol said and Piper and Alex were shocked.

"Wait mom so you knew that Diane is moving to Manhattan?" Piper asked as Alex could not find her words, not that they were mad or anything.

"No Bumblebee but I had a good feeling about this and I might have made convincing argument during thanksgiving dinner when you guys were in South Africa. I am glad my gut feeling was right or else my presents were meaningless." Carol says confidently with and raised eyebrow and everyone just laughed lightly.

"Thanks Carol. I really don't know how to thank you guys so much for everything you have done for my Ally cat and me even though you did not have to." Diane said with her eyes filled with unshed tears glistening her beautiful green orbs that were slightly darker shade that those of Alex.
"It is our pleasure Diane and we know we don't have to but we want to do this." Carol said as she placed a comforting hand on Diane's shoulder.

"Okay good people, its my turn to hand my fiancée her gift." Alex said as she walked over from Diane to Piper who stood by the couch that Carol was sitting on.

Alex got Piper a set of diamond earrings with a necklace and a key.

"What is it will keys going around today?" Diane asked jokingly, making everyone laugh.

"Aw All baby this is beautiful. Thank you."

"Not as beautiful as you but close second and now it will look even better on you." Alex said with a smile and leaned in to peck Piper's lips and this affection really touched the hearts of their parents.

"What is this key for though?" Piper asked curiously. Alex just handed her a beautiful teddy that was scented with Piper's favourite scent, vanilla with a hint of marzipan that sticks to a glass object.

"What is the meaning of all this Al?"

Next just came a picture of a car. Not just any car but a vintage car that Piper had always admired. A MERCEDES 300SL, 1954 – 1963.

"Al… babe… does this mean?... " Piper could not even finish her sentences an Alex just nodded for confirmation. Piper leaped into Alex's arms with her legs around the tall woman's waits and her arms around her neck.

"Oh Al baby thank you very much. This is amazing" Piper kissed Alex passionately and they reluctantly pulled away remembering their parents were still in the room.

"Okay my turn now." Piper said as she pulled away and retrieved Alex's gift from under the tree. Alex opened her gift to find a Rolex watch, Biker's clothing and a helmet.

"Whoa Pipe babe, this a roleplay costume for our wedding night?" Alex whispered only for Piper to hear and then smirked at Piper's pink tinted cheeks and dilated pupils.

"Now that I think about it… but now Al…its for this," Piper handed a small box with a ribbon to it and inside was a key and a picture of a Kawasaki Ninja H2R.

"Whoa Pipes babe this is amazing. Thank you so much. I ant wait to get my hands on this when we get home. Hey moms come check this out." Alex was ecstatic. She kissed Piper passionately and then they shared a few pecks.

"The watch will remind you to always come home on time for diner." Piper said jokingly but with a hint of seriousness.

"Of course Pipes. I wont even use it a lot babe. I will always come home to you." They cleared up their mess and went on to shower so they could head out for the day and enjoy Paris. First thing first is having lunch at the top of the Eifel tower.

Days passed and before they knew it, it was Christmas eve and Nicky, Lorna, Polly and Poussey surprised them by arriving early that morning.
