12.

"Why are you looking at me like that" Piper enquires as they drive out the gates.

"I am trying to figure out what you are going to tell Larry. You were pretty scared back there that he would see me."

"I wasn't scared. I was just not ready. I will talk to him later. He just has to behave like an adult. He is actually very understanding. I don't know why the two of you don't get along."

"Maybe I intimidate him because I'm a hot single lesbian" Alex teases.

At that moment Pipers phone starts to ring. "Maybe your right" she laughs at Alex's comment "Excuse me for a minute" and with that answers her phone on speaker.

"Hey Pol, what….."

"What the fuck Piper. What are you doing with the hot girl from the club in New York?"

Alex and Piper look at each other shock spread across both their faces. Surely Larry didn't see them if he didn't he couldn't have phoned Polly so quick and why would he phone Polly instead of Piper. All these thoughts running through the blonds head before she eventually responds to her best friend.

"Did you just drive past me or something? How do you know about Alex." Piper enquires

"Alex, that's it. I couldn't for the life of me remember her name…."

"Polly, How do you know" Piper interrupts

"Oh yes. No I didn't drive past you silly. You know your fandom will be losing their shit if you go hanging on hot girls in public Piper."

"oh god"

"It's all over social media you know. Everybody wondering who the mystery woman is. Cousin, friend, you know how they get."

Piper wraps up the conversation with Polly real quick telling her that she will explain later but long story short is that Alex is here to help her out with Cameron. Polly happy with the answer agrees that they would meet up for coffee the next day.

'shit shit shit' Piper thinks to herself 'so this is why Larry is home early. He saw the pictures. He knows before I could tell him or explain to him. He is going to be so angry.'

"Piper relax" Alex's voice breaks Pipers thoughts "Its not the end of the world. So he had to find out like that. It's not like you knew about it. You only found out 20 minutes before you picked me up."

"Yes your right. I will just explain it like that. I wish I could have informed him rather than him finding out like that, but its one of those things."

The rest of the drive to Cameron's school consisted of Piper showing places to Alex like the ice cream parlor where Cameron sometimes likes to go after school or the park where she sometimes takes him to play over weekends. She also showed Alex where the boy has his swimming lessons every Wednesday.

"Okay here we are." Piper stops the car in the parking lot and starts explaining as they walk "The yellow class over there is where Cameron is. Every child has to be fetched from their classroom by an approved person so we will go to the office first so we can put you on the list…."

"ALEX"

"Or not" Piper says as they see Cameron come running towards them. Alex just knows he is going to jump so just before he reaches her she bends down a little so she can catch him and picks him up as soon as he land in her arms. The boy throws his arms around her neck and squeezes as tight as humanly possible for the little boy. Alex hugs back.

The teacher suddenly appears in front of them, none of them noticing her at first. Alex was to busy trying to breath and Piper was admiring the scene unfolding between her son and Alex.

"Piper, I am so sorry. He has never done anything like this before…." The teacher starts explaining but Piper interrupts with a wave of the hand.

"It's okay Martha. Don't worry about it. I will let him know he is not allowed to ever do that again. It's not your fault. I should have taken Alex the other way around."

"We were just about to go see if our clay dried and when he saw you guys he just bolted." The teacher tries to explain again.

"Martha, calm down. It's fine" Piper smiles at her so she knows that it is okay and then turns her attention back to the two next to her. "Okay baby. You are strangling Alex. Let go okay."

Cameron releases his grip a bit and leans back to look at Alex with a huge smile on his face. If his ears weren't there the smile would go right around.

"Hello" Alex greets the boy with a wink

"Hello Alex" he still smiles and Alex nods towards his mother "oh hello mommy"

"Now I get a 'oh hello mommy'. You can at least pretend that you are a little happy to see me. Kiss!" Piper leans in for her kiss and Cameron plants a big one on her.

The boy looks back at Alex "Are you my nanny now?"

"NO! I am not your nanny. Lets just say I am your friend who is helping out your mommy to take care of you while she works."

"That sounds like a nanny but okay I will be your friend. You can put me back down now. I want to go tell my friends I have a new nanny friend." The boy wiggles out of Alex's arms and run towards the classroom.

"Cheeky little shit, isn't he."

"Oh come on nanny friend" Piper teases with a wink as she links her arm with Alex's "Being called a nanny is not so bad."

"Hmmm" Is the only reply the taller girl offers before they walk the short distance to Cameron's classroom. Pipers right arm still linked through Alex's left and Pipers left hand resting on Alex's left upper arm. The two off them look so comfortable together if you didn't know who Piper Chapman was you would think they were a couple.

Before they left the school they verified Alex as Cameron's new 'friend' and that she will be allowed to drop him off as well as pick him up. They also added her as Cameron's second emergency contact which now moves Larry down to third. Their reasoning behind this is that it would be easier to get a hold of Alex than it would Larry as he was very busy at his job as a newspaper editor and not always reachable. They probably tried to convince themselves more than the lady in the school office.

Cameron is the first to speak on the ride home "Mommy, can we go show Alex where she has to buy me ice cream after school?"

"Ice cream after school is an optional treat. Nobody has to buy you ice cream after school. Besides I already showed her the ice cream parlor on our way to fetch you."

"So can we go anyway, please. I'm so hungry." Piper and Alex cant help but laugh at the little boys tactics to get what he wants but they know they have to get home sooner rather than later. Piper has some fires to put out.

"I'm sorry baby. Not today okay. Mommy has to talk to Larry. He doesn't know Alex is visiting us." Looking back in the rear view mirror and seeing the sad expression on her sons face really make her feel bad. "Maybe you and Alex can go tomorrow after school. Alex still has to unpack also. She is going to stay with us." And that's all it takes for the little boy's face to light up again.

"Really?" he asks for confirmation.

Alex turns a bit in her seat to look at the boy "Really. Your stuck with me now."

"Mommy can Alex stay in my room?"

It took a whole lot of convincing and reasoning before he finally gave up and accepted the fact that Alex needs her own space and that his car bed is to small for the both of them. Of course he suggested that they can put her own bed next to his bed but when Piper explained to him in order for them to do that they would have to disassemble his electronic train and rail set so there can be space he decided that maybe its not a bad idea for Alex to have her own room.

As they pilled into the garage and all of them exit the car Alex informed Piper that she should go ahead and talk to Larry. She will put the cover back onto the bike and go…., well where ever it will be where Cameron decides to take her. He has a lot of plans for the two of them.

The blond agrees it's better she handles this alone and disappears into the house.
