Larry quickly went back upstairs, and had searched all the spare bedrooms, except the last one, and hoped that his wife would be in there as he stood outside the door, since he was starting to get worried, but nothing could prepare him for what was on the other side. "WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?" Larry shouted as he saw red when he saw that his wife of fifteen years was in bed, wrapped up in another woman's arms. Alex Vause's arms to be exact.
As Larry yelled loud enough for the whole neighborhood to hear, everybody in the house jumped awake, except for Helena who was still semi awake, but had no idea what was going on. So she quickly, along with Silas and Melanie, jumped out of their beds, and went into the hallway, where they saw their father standing in front of a spare bedroom, angrier than they have ever seen him.
While the kids were looking at their father, Alex and Piper were quickly awoken, and Piper jumped out of bed, but moved the wrong way, making her get a sharp pain in her back, that almost sent her to her knees. "Pipes?" Alex asked concerned not even worried about Larry who was fuming in the doorway, and quickly moved across the bed, and to Piper's side.
Larry watched the interaction between both women, but he didn't even care that they were clothed, his wife was in another woman's arms, and that was not acceptable in his eyes. "Get your hands off my wife" Larry snapped, not aware that his kids were standing in the hallway watching their father yell at their mother and Alex.
"That's pretty low coming from you" Silas snapped, as he moved down the hallway toward his father as he added "Since you know you lay your hands on her, and bruised my mother's ribs."
Larry quickly turned around as he shouted "Excuse me, but this doesn't concern you Silas."
Silas laughed "Yes it does, when you hurt my mother, a woman who has put up with your shit for far too long." Silas shouted as he stepped in front of his father, standing dangerous close to him.
"Silas go to your room now" Larry demanded sternly but Silas didn't budge.
"Not until you leave this house and don't ever come back" Silas demanded looking him dead in the eye.
Back in the bedroom, Alex sat Piper down on the bed as they heard the yelling between both father and son, and Pipes got tears in her eyes, as she tried to stand up again, only to be stopped by Alex. "Please Alex, I have to protect my son. I have to get Larry out of here." Piper whispered.
"I got this Pipes" Alex told her sweetly, before she placed a quick kiss to Piper's forehead and then moved toward the door.
"This is my house, do you pay…"Larry began but was quickly yanked backwards by strong hands, and slammed against the bedroom door.
"You listen to me you fucking asshole" Alex snapped between clenched teeth, while all three teenagers, along with Piper's jaws dropped. "I don't know what planet you live on thinking that it is okay to ever put your hands on a woman, but I will tell your right now, you will never ever hurt that beautiful, caring, the best damn woman you will ever meet, again." Alex told him sternly as she held him by the collar of his shirt against the door. "Nor, will you ever hurt her children." Alex began but Larry cut her off.
"Excuse me, but who the hell are you? And who the hell gave you permission to come into my house, and tell me what I will and will not do." Larry snapped back at her.
But that wasn't the right choice, Alex quickly yanked him forward and slammed him back against the door "When you decided to fucking lay a hand on someone I fucking care about, you fucking prick." Alex yelled.
Larry shook his head as she starred Alex back in the eyes, and then smirked "So how long have you been fucking her?"
Alex chuckled "We were sleeping, but if and when I do fuck her, I'll be sure to tell you all about how I pleasured her better, and made her cum more times than you ever did." Alex smirked and Piper smiled from the bed.
Just then Larry saw a darker shade of red, as he pushed Alex back with all his might, barely making Alex stumble, as she chuckled at his pitiful strength. "You think this is funny?" Larry asked with a voice filled with anger.
Alex shook her head as she told him with a smirk "No I am just laughing at how much of a pussy you really are."
Larry breathed in deeply as he swung his fist toward the woman who was the same height as him, but seemed taller. But Alex was quick to duck out of the way, and then gave him a death glare, as she quickly swung her fist toward him, hitting him dead in the jaw, and sent him falling toward the ground.
"Whoa! Way to go Alex!" All three teenagers cheered from the doorway.
Once Larry hit the ground, Piper regardless of the pain she felt in her back, quickly got out of bed, and instead of rushing to her husband's side, she rushed to Alex's. "Are you okay?" Piper asked quickly before she asked another. "Did he hurt you?"
Alex chuckled as she wrapped her arm around Piper "I am fine, this fucking pussy couldn't hurt me even if he tried."
Piper smiled as she wrapped her arm around Alex's waist and held her close, all while Larry was watching from the ground, holding his jaw. "You fucking bitch…" He began but Silas stepped into the room shutting him up.
"I think it is time for you to go Larry, you are not wanted nor welcomed here." Silas told his father, before he walked over to Alex and his mother, followed by Melanie, and Helena.
Alex wrapped her arm around Melanie's shoulder, as Helena walked over to her mother, and Piper removed her arm from Alex, to wrap it around her daughter. While Silas stood in front of them. "You choose her, a fucking dyke." Larry snapped as he stood up.
"No she's a person Larry, someone who cares about us, someone who cares about mom, and treats her with respect. She is a decent human being, something you will never be." Silas snapped as he stepped closer to his father.
Larry shook his head as he looked Piper dead in the eyes "This isn't over." Larry told her between clenched teeth, and looked at Alex "And you will not get away with this, you fucking home wrecker."
Alex chuckled "I'm not the one who beats my wife. So between the both of us, I am not the home wrecker, but you are." Alex told him as she watched Larry's eyes go darker.
Larry quickly turned on his heels but before he stormed out of the room he looked back at Piper one more time and snapped "You will regret this, you fucking slut."
All five of them watched as Larry stormed out of the room, and then a few minutes later heard the front door slam close. "Alex that was awesome!" Silas told him as he turned to look at the dark haired woman, who protected his mother, and he was forever grateful to her.
Alex just smiled "You did great too Silas, all of you did."
Just then did all three kids, wrapped their arms around their mother, and Alex for a family hug. "I am just glad mom and you are okay." Silas told them.
"Okay, I think that is enough family drama for the day." Piper said as the hug broke apart and then added "Go back to sleep all of you, pancakes later, but first I need another hour of sleep. I love you all."
All three kids nodded their heads, as they left the spare bedroom to go back to their own rooms, shutting the door behind them, leaving Alex and their mother alone. "Another hour of sleep? Or do you have too much adrenaline running through your body right now?" Piper asked with a smirk as she turned closer to Alex, as she wrapped her arms around her waist and pulled her close.
Alex smiled as she wrapped her own arms around the blonde, and looked her deep in the eyes. "Adrenaline yes, but I can lay back down with you." Alex told her with a smirk before she added "If that's what you want."
Piper nodded with a smile "Yes, I do want that."
Alex smiled back "Me too."
After Alex helped Piper back into the bed, she climbed into bed as well, and moved closer to the blonde on her side, before she ran her finger's softly across her cheek, to move some of the blonde hair away. "Are you okay?" Alex asked sweetly. Piper only nodded her head, and Alex didn't truly believe her. "Are you sure?"
Piper nodded her head once again, as she moved her hand up to Alex's and took it into her own. "Thank you." Piper told her with a smile as she pressed a kiss on the back of Alex's hand.
Alex shook her head "Don't you thank me, there is nothing to thank me for." Alex told her softly.
"You saved me, you saved my children…" Piper began but Alex cut her off.
"Shhh, that's in the past, and I will continue to save you and the kids, help them and you, support you and them, what ever you need I am here." Alex told her with a smile before she added "There is no other place I would rather be."
Piper smiled at the woman, wanting to kiss her, even though she had no idea where that thought was coming from. But she quickly pushed it aside as she said "Thank you Alex, and I'm glad, actually we all are glad you are here."
Alex nodded her head with a smile "You're welcome Pipes, now get some more sleep." Alex told her as she watched Piper's eyes flutter close, and the blonde fell back to sleep.

Meanwhile across town, Larry was arriving at his office, where he stormed inside the law office, fuming. "Whoa what's the matter mate?" Pete asked coming out of his office.
"That fucking slut bitch wife of mine." Larry snapped as he threw his office door open, as Pete followed him inside, confused as he shut the door.
"Piper?" Pete asked confused.
"Yes" Larry snapped as he threw his briefcase down on the desk.
"What did she do, what happened?" Pete asked still standing near the door, knowing he would have to call Polly really soon.
"She is fucking cheating on me." Larry yelled.
Pete let out a soft laugh "What?" Pete asked in shocked "Piper would never do that, are you sure you have the facts correctly, maybe you just misunderstood her." Pete tried to tell him but quickly cut off.
"I caught her Pete, in bed with another woman." Larry told him before he added "Alex Vause to be exact."
Pete chuckled then quickly caught himself "Well she is hot" Pete told him and then changed his mind on continuing that sentence. "Are you sure Larry, maybe they just fell asleep together, Piper isn't like that, you and I both know that."
"Yes she is, and the kids took their mother's side, but Piper will pay, and so will Alex I will make sure of that." Larry told him through clenched teeth before he demanded "Now get out of my office."
Pete shook his head not bothering to say anything else, before he opened the office door, and walked out, shutting it behind him, before he went back to his own office, closing the door, and called his wife.
"Hey Pete" Polly answered after a few rings.
"Hey Pol, listen you have to get over to Piper's." Pete told his wife.
"Is everything okay, the kids don't have school today, I got the text this morning. So Finn is still sleeping." Polly told him.
"Well either call your mother, or take him with you, but you need to get over there fast. Larry caught her in bed with Alex Vause, I am sure that he has the story wrong, but he thinks Piper is cheating on him, and I don't know what he is going to do, he talked about making them both pay. He's pissed Pol." Pete explained to his wife.
"I'm waking Finn up now; I will be there in less than twenty minutes." Polly told her husband and then hung up the phone.

Back at Piper's, Alex was just starting to fall back to sleep, when her phone buzzed on the night stand. Alex groaned as she carefully rolled over on the bed, trying not to wake Piper, as she got out of bed, grabbing her phone and walked into the hallway, quietly closing the door behind her. "Hello?" Alex answered.
"Alex?" The person on the other end asked.
"No, the FBI, who the hell were you expecting to answer my phone?" Alex asked with a laugh quietly.
"You haven't called, where are you?" The person asked.
Alex rolled her eyes "I'm at work" Alex lied.
"Oh well why haven't you called?" The person asked.
"I've been busy, I'm sorry." Alex told them sweetly.
"You still coming back to LA, in a couple days?" The person on the other end.
Back inside the bedroom, Piper heard the quiet laugh, and rolled over closer to Alex, and noticed she wasn't there, and then heard her voice on the other side of the door. "Yeah, maybe, it depends, I will call you when I land." Alex told them and then added "Listen I gotta go, I have to go back to work."
"Okay, call me, be careful." The person told them with a smile.
"I will" Alex told them and then hung up the phone before she opened the bedroom door, and stepped back inside the room, and saw Piper resting against the headboard. "Hey, did I wake you?" Alex asked before she added "I'm sorry if I did, I tried to be quiet."
Piper shook her head "No you didn't, so work?" Piper asked and then added "Sorry I wasn't ease dropping or anything, just over heard."
Alex laughed "It was easier" Alex told her as she stood in front of the bed looking at Piper.
Piper nodded her head "No I totally understand. So your friend, or girlfriend?" Piper asked.
"it's complicated" Alex told her not really wanting to discuss it and Piper just nodded her head. "Please don't be mad at me, it's just really hard to explain."
"Why would I be mad at you?" Piper asked before she added holding back the hurt in her voice "It's not like we are dating or anything, hell I haven't even slept with you."
"Piper, don't be like that." Alex tried but was cut off.
"Be like what Alex?" Piper asked "We are friends, nothing more." Piper told her as she got out of bed, grabbing her phone. "I have to go and get breakfast started." Piper told her as she walked past Alex, and then made her way downstairs to the kitchen.
Alex took in a deep breath, and just then did the doorbell ring, and she quickly ran out of the room, and down the stairs, and saw Piper letting Polly Harper into her house. "Hello Alex" Polly said with a smile.
"Polly what are you doing here?" Piper asked her best friend as she let her and her eight-year-old godchild into the house, shutting the door behind them. "Hello Finn" Piper added with a smile.
"Hi auntie Piper!" Finn said happily
"Finn go watch some TV while I talk to your aunt" Polly told her son, who quickly left his mom, and aunt and went into the family room and turned on the TV.
"Polly?" Piper asked confused.
But before Polly could answer, Alex interrupted "Hey Piper, I'm going to leave, I have to go to work for a few hours." Alex told her.
"Do you want to take a shower first? Breakfast?" Piper asked.
Alex shook her head "No I will stop home, and do that" Alex told her and then disappeared upstairs, to get her bag, and car keys.
When Alex returned back downstairs, she found Polly and Piper in the kitchen, where Piper had begun to make pancakes. "Are you sure you don't want to stay for breakfast?" Piper asked once Alex walked in.
"No it's okay, call me if you need anything. I will talk to you later." Alex told her before she turned to Polly "Nice seeing you again Polly."
"You too" Polly told her and then both women watched the dark haired woman leave the kitchen, and then heard her leave the house. "Okay what the hell is going on Piper?" Polly asked confused.
"I could ask you the same thing" Piper told her best friend.
"Pete called me, said something happened between you and Larry, and that you slept with Alex." Polly explained before she added "And she clearly just left the house, so yeah I'm confused. I thought it was just a crush?"
Piper took a deep breath, before she turned away from the batter she was stirring and looked at her best friend "You have to promise me you won't tell anyone, but you can tell Pete if you like." Piper told her best friend knowing that Polly told her husband everything.
"I won't. What is going on Pipes?" Polly asked again.
Piper looked at her best friend for a few moments, before she slowly lifted her t-shirt, to show her best friend her bruises.
Polly eyes went wide as she stood up from her chair, and walked over to her best friend. "Piper?" Polly asked with tears. Piper lowered her shirt, and lifted her sleeves up, to show Polly the hand prints on both her arms, making tears form even more in Polly's eyes. "Piper? Please don't tell me Larry did that to you." Polly begged but she already had feeling she already knew that he did.
Piper nodded her head "That is why Alex was here, we went out to lunch, and she noticed I was in pain, and then she saw the bruises, and wanted to help. So yes Larry found us in the same bed, but we didn't sleep together, I am not having an affair with her, we are just friends." Piper explained.
"Oh my god Pipes" Polly said not even sure what to say as she wrapped her best friend in a tight hug, careful of the bruises. "How long?"
"It just happened, he got upset, because Helena got offered a lead role in the movie, and I told her she could do it. And he wasn't happy. Then the next morning, he pushed back because I forgot that he was going to Boston, even though he never told me." Piper explained.
"What an asshole" Polly said though clenched teeth and then asked "I am glad Alex was here."
Piper pulled back from the hug as she looked at her best friend and then asked "What?"
Polly smiled "I don't like Larry, I never did."
"Since when?" Piper asked with a chuckle.
"Since forever, I see the way he treats you and the children." Polly told her.
"But you never said anything." Piper said
"Yeah, you seemed like you were happy, even though you didn't at times, but it wasn't my place." Polly explained.
Piper scoffed "Polly you are my best friend, you had ever place to say something, and you should have."
"I'm sorry." Polly said with a smile and then asked "So what do the kids think of Larry?"
"They hate him" Piper shrugged her shoulders "They want him gone."
"Good" Polly said with a nod of her head "And what do they think of Alex?"
"They love her, but like I said I am not dating her." Piper told her with a smile.
"But you want to." Polly smirked.
"Oh shut up, I have to make these pancakes, you and Finn staying?" Piper asked changing the subject.
"Hell yes!" Polly smiled and Piper chuckled.
XXXX
After breakfast, even though the kids weren't happy that Alex was gone, they understood that she had to go to work. So Silas took Finn outside, and was playing basketball with him, while Helena was in the back with Milah, and Melanie went upstairs to take a shower and then work on her paper. "So, what are you going to do with Larry?" Polly asked as she and Piper sat down on the front patio furniture and watched their kids play.
"I'm going to divorce him" Piper came right out and told her, without missing a beat.
"But what about the abuse?" Polly asked.
"Oh come on Polly, you know how the law is about domestic abuse, they will just believe Larry anyway. I'm not going to press charges" Piper told her before she added "Plus Alex slugged him pretty good in the jaw anyway."
Polly laughed as she asked "Wait Alex hit him?"
"Yeah, she slammed him against the door a couple times, then he pushed her back, and Larry went to hit her, but she ducked and then punched him right in the jaw, knocking him to the floor." Piper exclaimed with a laugh of her.
"Damn, girl is strong." Polly said with a straight face then said "Then again Larry is a pussy, I don't see how Pete can be friends with him."
"Neither can I" Piper agreed and just then her phone buzzed on the patio table.
Polly quickly grabbed the phone, and saw that it was Alex. "Oooh your girlfriend is calling." Polly teased with a smile.
"Oh shut up she isn't my girlfriend" Piper smiled as she tried to grab the phone from her best friend. "Give me it" Piper demanded.
"Is that what you said to Alex last night?" Polly laughed.
"No, now give me my phone, before it goes to voicemail." Piper demanded
Polly nodded her head as she grabbed handed her best friend her cell phone. "Hey" Piper smiled as she answered and Polly smirked at her, while Piper gave her a look.
"Hey, I am so sorry I left so quickly this morning." Alex told her before she added "I just figured I would give you and Polly alone time and I had to go to work."
"It's okay, I saved you some pancakes" Piper told her with sweetly with a smile, and Polly faked gagged. "Shut up" Piper mouthed.
"Listen, I very really bad about this, but I have to go back to California." Alex told her.
"Oh" Piper said and even though she tried to hold back her hurt, Polly caught it and looked at her best friend. "When?" Piper asked clearing her throat.
"I have to be there tonight" Alex explained before she asked "I know this is last minute, and the kids have school, but would you and the kids like to come with me, and stay a few days?"
Piper's jaw dropped as she remained quiet for a few minutes and now Polly really was starring at her confused, but Alex quickly broke her from her trance. "Pipes?" Alex asked through the phone "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have…" she began but Piper cut her off.
"I would love." Piper told her happily. "I will call you back." Piper told her and then hung up the phone.
"What the hell was that?" Polly asked needing to know answers.
"She wants me to come to California with her, tonight! And the kids!" Piper said happily.
"School, Pipes." Polly reminded her best friend who was acting like a teenager all over again.
"Oh yeah" Piper told her quickly remembering about school, since it was so nice out, Piper thought it was summer.
Polly saw the hurt, and put her hand on her shoulder "Go, Pete and I will watch the kids." Polly told her.
Piper quickly looked at her best friend "I couldn't ask you to do that."
"Well you didn't ask, I offered." Polly smiled "Go, you deserve a vacation, Pete and I will protect the kids, and if you want to then I can bring the kids to the airport on Friday when they get out of school."
Piper smiled at her best friend and hugged her "Thanks, I just have to check with the kids." She told her, and went to go and get Helena and Melanie.
XXXX
Once she returned back outside, she called Silas over, and once they sat down Helena asked "What's up mom?"
"So I know after this morning, everything is a bit crazy right now, and if you don't want me to I won't…" Piper began but all the kids interrupted her.
"DIVORCE LARRY" They all shouted at once.
"Well I guess that is decided" Polly said with a smirk.
"Was already planning on" Piper smiled at her children "But no, Alex called, she has to go back to California tonight, and she asked if we wanted to go with her, for a few days." Piper told them and all her kids smiled. "But you have school." Piper began again but got cut off by Helena.
"Go with her mom" Helena smiled "We will be fine here."
Piper laughed "Oh no I am not leaving you three alone, but nice try."
"I tried" Helena told her sister and brother
Piper smiled "Aunt Polly offered for you to go to and stay with and Uncle Pete, and then you three can fly out Friday for the weekend. But I won't if you don't want me to leave." Piper told her children and they all shook their heads.
"Go mom, you deserve a vacation. Go spend time with Alex, she makes you smile and you deserve to be happy." Melanie told her mom.
"And you need a break." Helena added with a smile.
"Plus I don't want to hear anymore massages." Silas added with a smirk.
Polly looked at Silas, and then back at Piper "Okay what did I miss?" Polly asked
"Nothing" Piper laughed and then asked "Are you guys sure?"
"Yes mom go!" All three said at once.
"Okay I think that's settled Pipes, call Alex back, and go pack." Polly told her with a smile.
Piper nodded and then hugged her children, and her best friend, before she walked into the house and upstairs to her bedroom. Once she shut the door, she pulled out her iPhone, and called Alex.
"Hey Pipes" Alex said with a smile when she answered.
"Hey Alex, so the kids said yes." Piper told her and she could hear the smile but then added "But, they won't fly out until Friday, Polly and Pete are going to watch them, if that's okay."
"Yeah Pipes, that's fine." Alex told her with a smile.
"So can I still fly out with you tonight?" Piper asked
Alex chuckled "Of course, I will pick you up when I get out of work, I will be there around 5:30."
Piper smiled "Okay see you then."
"See you then" Alex told her but quickly added and Piper was pretty sure Alex winked as she said "And don't forget your bathing suit"
Piper Smiled as she told Alex "You got it" And then hung up her phone, and went to go and take a shower.
XXXX
After the shower, Piper threw on a pair of ripped skinny jeans, and a tank top. She let her hair air dry, as she went downstairs to tell her children to pack their bags, and then she went back up stairs to pack her own things. Before she knew it, it was already 4:45, and Alex would be arriving soon, and Silas offered to bring her bag downstairs for his mother, and then placed it next to the front door. "You have everything?" Polly asked when Piper walked into the kitchen.
"Yes" she told her and then turned to her children and asked "You guys have everything you need? Helena do you have food and everything you need for Milah?"
"Yes mom" They all said at once.
"Okay, you guys don't have to wait, Polly I'm sure Pete will be home soon." Piper began but Polly cut her off.
"Nope we are not leaving until you do" Polly told her and Piper nodded.
Next thing they knew it was 5:25, and Alex had arrived and was ringing the doorbell. "You know you could have just come in." Piper said with a smirk as she opened the door.
"Well I didn't want to be rude." Alex told her with a smirk of her own, as she quickly hugged the blonde.
"Hey Alex." The kids said as she they walked to the front door, with no bags, since they already put them in Polly's SUV.
"Hey guys" Alex smiled "Thanks for letting me borrow your mom for a few days. You call us if you need anything." Alex told them as she handed each one of them a piece of paper that had her cell phone number, and house phone number on it.
"Thanks" They all said as the took the piece of paper.
"You ready to go Pipes?" Alex asked with a smile, and Piper nodded her head as she hugged her kids.
"You three be good for Aunt Polly and Uncle Pete." Piper told her kids, as she hugged each one of them tightly. "I love you all so much."
"We love you too mom." All three told their mom.
"Thanks again Polly." Piper told her best friend as she hugged her.
"No problem" Polly told her as she hugged her back.
"Now, I have one more hug." Pipe said with a smile as she kneeled to the ground. "Come here Milah" Piper said with a smile, and quickly the golden retriever puppy ran into her lap. "You be a good girl; grandma will miss you." Piper told her with a smile, making Helena and Alex smile as well.
"Alright Alex, you ready?" Piper asked with a smile as she stood up and Helena picked up Milah.
"Ready when you are" Alex smiled back as she grabbed Piper's bag, and then hugged Silas, Melanie, Helena, and Milah as she told them. "You guys have fun."
"You know Alex; I can handle my bag." Piper told her.
"That's nice, but I got it." Alex smirked and Piper rolled her eyes, and then opened the front door.
Once they were outside, Piper shut the door, and locked it behind her, before Alex took her hand, and led her to her car, opening the door for her. "Alright you guys have fun; I will call you when we land." Piper told her kids, as she watched them get into Polly's car, and then Alex shut the door.
As Polly followed Alex down the driveway, then departed ways as Polly went left, and Alex went right. A few minutes later when they reached a stop sign, Alex grabbed Piper's hand, and looked over at the blonde and smiled "I'm glad you are coming with me."
Piper smiled back at the dark haired woman as she said "Me too."
Well there is chapter 7! I hope you all enjoyed this chapter!
Larry sure got what what he deserved.
Polly not liking Larry, and taking the kids for Piper, how nice is she?
And who was on the phone with Alex?
Now for some serious alone time for Alex and Piper, what will happen, will things go good, or will they go bad? I guess you will find out in the next chapter.
Until next time
