"Mommy, Mommy, breakfast time" Cameron jumps up and down between Piper and Larry on they King size hotel room bed. The only response Piper offers her son is a low groan. "Come on mommy. I want some pancake."

"You cant possibly be hungry after everything you had to eat last night boy" comes the reply from Larry.

"That was hours ago. I am hungry again. I am still growing." Cameron rolls his eyes at Larry. "Come on Mommy" he wines.

"Okay, okay I'm getting up" Piper replies but only slightly moves. She has a killer hangover and don't know how she is going to get out of bed to take her son down to breakfast for his pancakes.

Larry knows very well Piper has a hangover and knows how grumpy she can be about it. He pushes himself up on one arm looking down at Piper and smiles "Don't worry about it honey. I will take him down. Looks like you can do with a bit more sleep."

Piper mumbles something neither Cameron not Larry can make out. "Okay come on big man, lets get you washed up and dressed and then I will take a quick shower and we can go have those pancakes."

After Larry helped Cameron get washed up the boy went out into the hall to play with his cars while he waited for Larry. Piper told him time and time again that he should rather play in the room as he will be disturbing the other guest, but he didn't think that the floor area was big enough. He promised Piper that he would be very quiet.

"Alex" He notices the woman walking towards the lifts.

"Hey there." Alex greets while looking at the boy and his cars confused, taking a couple of steps in his direction. "What are you doing out here?"

"I'm waiting for Larry. He is taking me down for pancakes. He is in the shower."

"I see" Alex nods "And your mommy. Is she not joining you?"

"No. Larry said he will take me because mommy looks very tired" Cameron offers a response to which Alex just smiles knowing that the blond must have a killer hangover rather than being very tired.

"Well then you better let her sleep. I am going down to breakfast, so I'll see you down there okay?" Alex winks at the boy and starts to turn to go back to the lift.

"Wait" Cameron almost shouts startling Alex and she spins around to see the boy has jumped to his feet and are standing right in front of her. "Can I go with you?" He asks giving Alex the famous Chapman puppy dog eyes.

"Uhm well I don't mind taking you, but surely you have to check with your mommy first. I don't want to get in trouble and I don't want you to get into trouble either."

Cameron's face lights up. He pushes the hotel room door open. Throws his toys in and shouts "Mommy I'm going down to breakfast with Alex." To which Alex thinks 'not exactly what I would call checking with your mommy, but okay'. She just smiles.

And seconds later came Pipers hoarse voice reply "Okay baby."

He slams the door shut, grabs Alex's hand, which catches her a bit off guard but off they go in the direction of the lifts to go get this little man some pancakes.

"Uhm excuse me, do we know Alex? Who is Alex? How can you just let Cameron go down to breakfast with an Alex?" Larry rambles on.

"We know Alex yes. Cameron and I. We met her at breakfast yesterday morning and I saw her at the club last night." Piper replies still with her eyes closed, sounding a bit annoyed.

"The woman who laughed when Cameron called me stupid." Larry enquires.

"You see you do know Alex." Came Pipers reply as she turns onto her other side and pulls the cover up over her head so she can go back to sleep.

"Not very fond of her, I must say." Larry mumbled as he walked back into the bathroom and bangs the door closed.

Meanwhile Cameron and Alex was already seated at a table in the dining area both with a stack of pancakes in front of them. Alex couldn't help but smile at how completely adorable Pipers son was and thought that he definitely takes after his mother. At that thought she caught herself wondering how adorable Piper must be when she has a hangover, probably blaming everyone for it but herself. Even though it is self-inflicted she probably feels very sorry for herself and hates everyone at that moment who does not feel sorry for her as well. She recons at least she has Larry to take care of her which he probably will as he already offered to take Cameron down to breakfast. Alex still thinks, in Cameron's words, that Larry is 'stupid' but he does take care of Piper. He is also very much in love with her as anybody who is not blind could see in every public appearance the two appeared together. Wondering how someone like Piper could be interested in someone like Larry, what is it that attracted her to him causes a frown to form on her forehead.

"Why are you frowning" Cameron asks. "Do you not like the pancakes?"

"I love the pancakes" Alex assures him "I was just wondering about something, that's all."

The boy obviously happy with the explanation turned his attention back to his pancakes and Alex turned her attention back to her own stack.

"So what are you up to today?" Alex makes conversation with the little boy.

"I don't know" he shrugs his shoulders "We are leaving the day after tomorrow. Mommy says her work here is done."

Alex feels a bit of a sadness inside of her learning that the Chapman clan will be heading back to LA in a couple of days. She will definitely miss the company of this witty little blond boy in who's company she has only been for about an hour put together between yesterday and today. Not admitting it to herself but knowing it deep down, she also wish she could have spend some more time with Piper. She enjoyed the chat last night and they just clicked. It was nice to get some stuff of her chest and Piper was a great listener. She already considered herself very lucky to have met her all time crush on her first day in the big city and thought that she should not be greedy. Some people don't even meet their favorite celebrity ever.

"When are you going home?" Cameron's voice rips her from her thoughts.

'Oh boy here we go' she thinks to herself not knowing what will come out of the little boys mouth after she tries to explain this, but she answers him anyway. "I don't really have a home right now" Alex tries to explain and by the shocked expression on the boys face immediately realizes that she might have been able to put it a bit better.

"Are you poor?" Cameron asks with real concern in his voice.

Alex cant help but laugh before she offers and explanation "No I am not poor. What I mean is that I grew up and lived in another country very far from here. I decided to come here to explore a bit. So I don't have just one home right now. I am going to travel from place to place for a bit until I find a place I can make my real home. I am going to work in a library, so I will try and find a place close to the library once I start working. Does it make sense?"

"Yes." He confirms "Is the library far from my home?"

"Pretty far, yes. You live in LA and the library is here in New York." Alex explains and notices the sadness in Cameron's eyes. "What's wrong?" She asks.

"I wish the library was close to my house. I wanted to show you my room at my house. It's a very nice house. We have a swimming pool and everything. I am not allowed to swim on my own. Only when my nanny is there. My nanny is visiting her family right now that is why she is not here with us." He rambles on. "Can you not find a library close to our home?"

"Unfortunately it doesn't work that way kid. I would have loved to see your home. You can send me pictures." Alex tries to comfort him.

"Its not the same." He sulks

"I know but at least its something and when you come to New York with your mummy again you can come and visit me. Or maybe one day I will go to LA and then I will come and visit you."

This seems to please the little guy "Will you really?"

"Of course I will. You can count on it." Alex winks.

"All done boy" a mans voice interrupts their conversation, both looking up at the same time very annoyed with the intruder.

Larry looks down at Alex "Alex I assume" he says.

"Larry I assume" Alex shoots back with a roll of the eyes. For some reason she can't stand this little Jew boy and by the look on Larry's face assuming the feeling is very mutual.

"Charming" Is all he shoots back at her redirecting his gaze at Cameron "Come on, time to go. We have to go get your mom some 'fix-me-up' miracles in a bag."

Cameron obviously sulking and not doing anything to try and hide his disapproval "Do I have to go?" He drags the word 'have' out a little. "I can just stay with Alex. She doesn't mind. She can look after me. We can …."

"No" Larry interrupts the little boy "I am sure Alex has her own plans. Besides you mom asked me to come and get you."

Cameron looks at Alex with his puppy dog eyes. She shrugs her shoulders "I'm sorry kid, I have no say in this. You have to listen to your mommy. I will see you soon okay." She tries to comfort the boy.

"Okay" he slides off his chair "I guess." He walks up to Larry, looks at Alex sideways "See you around"

"Alex" Larry greets.

"Larry"

And off the two goes. Cameron dragging his feet, head hanging, sighing like he carries the world on his shoulders and again Alex cant help but smile thinking that he is now probably in exactly the same mood as his mother. Sulky.
