Authors Note: Hey everyone, Thanks for all the wonderful reviews, follows, favs, and of course reading. I cannot believe we are already on Chapter 10! This story wouldn't be without any of you, so I thank you all for your wonderful support, and I am so glad you all are enjoying.

So yes, Alex is hiding something, since you know she keeps saying everything is complicated, as for what she is hiding, I guess you will just have to wait and see.

Once again I do not own any of these characters.

Now without any further ado, here is chapter 10!

Piper was a bit taken back by the kiss at first, but sparks quickly flew between them, as the kiss deepened, and Piper moved her own hands to Alex's dark hair pulling her closer against her. But before the kiss could get any deeper, Alex's door bell rang.

The minute Alex heard her doorbell, Lambert started to bark, and both women groaned into the kiss, as they broke apart. "Sorry" Alex whispered as Piper slipped off of her, and sat back down in her previous seat, while Alex got up from hers. Piper simply nodded her head, as she kept replaying what just happened in her mind, while Alex went to go and see who was at her door, with a still barking and now growling Lambert.

"What have I done?" Piper thought to herself, she couldn't believe she tested Alex like that, she has never been that brave, ever! "She probably has a girlfriend or whatever anyway, why else would everything be complicated?" Piper's mind also shouted at her, making her shake her head in confusion, because she really didn't know what to do anymore.

Meanwhile back in the house, Alex told Lambert to be quiet, as she checked to see who was on the other side, it had to be someone she knew anyway, because there was no way they were getting past her gate, so they had to know the code. Unless of course they hopped it, or found some other way in. Lambert stopped his growling and barking, while Alex groaned when she finally saw who was on the other side. "Nichols, what are you doing here?" Alex asked with a scoff once she opened the door.

"Hey there Vause!" Nicky shouted as she just walked right on into the house. "You okay there? You look a little flush." Nicky teased her best friend, as she shut the door.

"I'm fine" Alex told her sternly then asked again "What are you doing here? You are never up this early"

Nicky laughed as she leaned down to pet Lambert "Well Jodi called and told me you were home, and I wanted to come and see you. Plus, I needed to make sure you took your vitamins."

Alex rolled her eyes "You could have just called."

Nicky could hear the tone in Alex's voice, and knew that her best friend was annoyed. "I did call though, three times, you didn't answer." Nicky told her as she stood up from petting Lambert, and looked at the taller woman before she asked "Are you alright?"

Alex nodded her head "I didn't sleep, but I am fine. I took my vitamins, so you can leave now." Alex told her trying to stay calm, but it wasn't working, she had so much going on in her mind, especially since the kiss with Piper, she didn't know what to do anymore.

Nicky nodded her head "Yeah she mentioned that you didn't take your vitamins to New York with you, jeez Vause what were you thinking?" Nicky asked

"Nothing, I forgot them, Jesus." Alex snapped.

When Alex snapped, Piper was now able to hear the conversation from outside, and even though it wasn't her place, she decided to go back into the house, and go upstairs, so she could give whoever was here, time with Alex. "Whoa hey there Blondie!" Nicky shouted with a smirk as Piper walked into the hallway where the two women were standing. "Who's this Alex?" Nicky asked wanting to know more.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt anything; I am just going to head upstairs." Piper told them both shyly, as she walked past Nicky, and then Alex, but Alex stopped her by grabbing her arm lightly.

"Pipes, this is Nicky; Nicky this is Piper." Alex told them both still holding Piper by the arm. "And she is one of my best friends." Alex told the blonde looking her in the eye, so she wouldn't get the wrong idea.

"Nice to meet your Blondie, so do you like Pipe like your name suggests?" Nicky asked with a smirk, as Piper blushed and Alex's eyes went wide, though she really wasn't surprised by Nicky's comment.

"Nicole!" Alex shouted between clench teeth at the red head.

"Hey!" Nicky shouted back "Don't call me that."

"Then don't act like a child." Alex retorted.

"I will try not to" Nicky smirked. "So Blondie, how long have you known Vause here?" Nicky asked as she looked over at Piper who was still blushing, before she added "Because I have never seen you before."

"I just met her." Piper told her.

"Well I hope to get to know you." Nicky smirked making Alex roll her eyes.

"Is there anything else you want Nicky?" Alex asked getting more annoyed due to her tiredness.

"OH" Nicky shouted with a smile, because it had finally dawned on her. "I interrupted something, didn't I?" Nicky asked as she smiled "I'm sorry Blondie, I will just let you two get back to it then."

Once again Alex rolled her eyes, as she finally let go of Piper's arm, and grabbed Nicky, dragging her to the front door. "Let's go, and no you didn't interrupt anything, and even if you did, I'm not telling you."

"I know that tone Vause, I did interrupt something." Nicky teased.

"Whatever Nicky, I will see you later at work." Alex told her as she opened her front door.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah" Nicky told her with a smile as she walked through the door, then turned back to look at Piper "Nice meeting you Blondie, have fun." Nicky told her with a wink.

"Nice meeting you too" Piper smiled, as she felt her face blush again.

"Oh and before I forget, Jodi also told me to remind you that you have an appointment today, so make sure you didn't forget your B1." Nicky told the dark haired woman.

"I told you I already took them, and yeah I know." Alex told her.

"Okay, bye then." Nicky laughed as she walked of toward her car, and Alex slammed the door behind her, along with locking it.

"Wow she is cheerful" Piper said with a smile.

Alex nodded her head "That's Nicky for you." Alex told her as she walked past Piper, and then back into the kitchen, to grab another cup of coffee.

"Listen Alex, I'm sorry." Piper began once she walked into the kitchen behind Alex, but Alex cut her off.

"No, don't you dare say you are sorry. I kissed you back, didn't I?" Alex asked and Piper nodded her head. "Then you have nothing to be sorry about." Alex told her, as she placed the coffee pot back down in it's holder, and walked over to Piper, wrapping her arms around the blonde's waist, and pulled her flush against her body.

Piper looked into Alex's eyes, as she wrapped her own arms around Alex's neck, not really sure what to say, but before she could think of anything, Alex's lips were pressed against hers. Piper smiled and moaned into the kiss, as she moved her hand's once again to Alex's dark hair, and pulled her even closer.

As the kiss deepened, Alex walked Piper backwards, until her back softly hit the island counter. Once it did, Alex wasted no time, as she placed her hand's on Piper's waist, and lifted her on to the counter, where Piper quickly wrapped her legs around Alex.

While the kiss continued to deepen, as both their tongues fought for dominance, because neither wanted to give up control to the other. Alex moved one of her hands under Piper's shirt, and up to her bare breast, and squeezed it lightly. Making Piper break the kiss, as she threw her head back moaning "Alex".

Alex smirked as she quickly moved her lips to Piper's neck, and started placing kisses there, before she playfully bit down on the skin, making Piper moan even more.

But before their fun could go any further, even though Piper was enjoying it very much, she finally came to her senses, and slightly pushed Alex away from her. "Alex stop"

Alex stopped immediately what she was doing, and pulled away from Piper, before she looked her in the eyes. "I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?" Alex asked concerned, because she didn't want to push the blonde into anything she didn't want to do.

Piper shook her head "No, I just I don't want to rush this, whatever this is between us." Piper explained as she motioned her hand between the two of them.

Alex nodded in agreement "Pipes I was serious when I said I was new to this whole relationship thing." Alex confessed to her once again.

"I know Alex, and I have never been with a woman." Piper confessed as well as she once again felt her face blush in embarrassment, looking toward the ground.

Alex chuckled lightly, as she moved her finger's under Piper's chin, and lifted her face lightly to look Piper in the eyes. "What kind of a lesbian are you?" Alex asked with a playful smile, telling Piper it was okay.

"The one who thought she was straight her whole life." Piper smirked as she moved one of her hands up to Alex's breast as she added "And the boob touching kind."

Alex laughed a deep husky laugh that made Piper smile. "I bet you and Polly had some very fun and wild experimental nights."

"Polly is as straight as they come" Piper told her with a laugh of her own.

Alex smirked as she nodded her head "I kind of figured that was the case."

Piper nodded her head, as both women looked into each other's eyes for a few moments before Alex asked "So Piper Bloom, I mean Chapman, are you ready to take the plunge, so to speak?"

Piper smiled as she answered the question with a question of her own "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Once again, Alex let out a husky laugh, a sound Piper was starting to fall in love with. "I believe I asked you a question first." Alex smirked.

Piper nodded in agreement as she said "Yes, but I want to make sure this is something you want to do. I do have a lot of baggage you know."

Alex smirked "Yes, three wonderful kids, who I have taken quite fondly too, and I know they have to me as well." Alex told her with a smile, making Piper smile back before she added "We all have baggage Pipes, I am willing to accept yours, if you are willing to accept mine, even though you don't know it all. But I could be here all day explaining everything to you, and I do have work in a couple hours."

Pipe smirked as she asked "So you don't mind that I have only been married to one person."

Alex nodded "It's better than being married ten or more times, how people can do that I have no idea." Alex smirked "Yes, Pipes I can handle you only being married once, even though I hate that you married Larry. I really hate him Pipes." Alex confessed looking her in the eyes.

Piper nodded "I know; I really hate him too. And so does Polly, apparently she always has hated him."

"Well she should have told you sooner." Alex smirked

"That's what I told her, but she said it wouldn't have changed anything, and she is right." Piper told her and Alex nodded her head before Piper asked "So Alex, how many men and women have you been with?"

Once agin Alex let out a laugh as she smirked "Well I have been with no men, no my style." Alex told her and Pipe cut her off.

"So what is your style?" Piper asked with a wink.

Alex raised her eyebrow, before she moved her lips to Piper's ear and whispered "Tall, smart, beautiful, blondes, especially ones named Piper."

Piper felt herself shiver, and smile at the same time from Alex's confession before she pulled her back and gave her a quick kiss, before she asked "So again, how many women? And don't worry, I'm not going to judge you."

Alex smiled as she moved her head from side to side, to let Piper know she was thinking. "Well it's not as many as the media makes it out to be, I would say in total about ten to fifteen or so." Alex told her before she added "But some of those weren't actually hooks up, I don't fuck every girl I meet."

Piper smirked as she nodded her head "And Jodi?"

Alex completely lost it, laughing as she said "Are you fucking kidding me, she is completely straight. She is my bestie."

Piper smiled "Just making sure."

After a few moments of silence, Alex decided to turn the tables on Piper. "So how many men have you been with Pipes?" Once Alex asked the question, Piper looked away fast from Alex. "Hey I'm not going to judge you, if you have only been with Larry, but I am sure you have been missing out on some fantastic sex, for all these years." Alex told her with a smile, but then saw the look on Piper's face as she looked toward the ground, and knew that something was wrong. "Pipes?" Alex asked as she moved her fingers to Piper's chin again, and lifted her face to look her in the eyes. "What's wrong?"

Piper shook her head "You aren't going to want to be with me, if I tell you."

"Well I'm not going to want to be with you if you lie to me, so what's wrong. Again no judging." Alex told her sweetly, looking her dead in the eye.

Piper took a deep breath before she confessed "I had an affair, I cheated on Larry."

Alex's eyes went wide, as she tried to hold back the laugh that was dying to get out. "Well I won't say he doesn't deserve it. But seriously Pipes, the way he treats you and the kids, there is nothing to be ashamed about, I know you're not a cheater, I know you aren't like that." Alex told her but Piper just shook her head, and that told Alex there was more to the story. "What else Pipes?"

"You sure you want to hear this, only Polly knows" Piper told her.

Alex nodded her head "Only if you want to tell me Pipes, but yes I want to know everything about you."

Piper nodded her head as she once again took in a deep breath and said "The kids aren't Larry's."

Alex's eyes went wide, as her jaw dropped trying to register in her mind what she has been told. "Pipes, what do you mean they aren't Larry's, do the kids know?" Alex asked in shock.

Piper shook her head "Neither the kids, or Larry knows."

Alex nodded her head as she took both Piper's hands in her own as she smiled and told her sweetly "Hey there is no judging"

Piper looked up at Alex, as she smiled back "Thanks Al."

Alex nodded her head as she asked "Who is the guy?"

"He had just graduated from high school, when I hooked up with him. His name is Jax, I got pregnant, that's why I didn't care if Larry stayed or not, because I knew the baby wasn't his. But Larry didn't connect the two, then after Helena was born and I was cleared to have sex again, I met up with Jax again, didn't use any protection and got pregnant again. So After when Larry and I got married, and Larry wanted another baby, but after trying and trying, I wasn't getting pregnant. So instead of going to the doctor, I contacted Jax again, hooked up, and bam I was pregnant again." Piper explained.

Alex nodded her head as she said with a laugh "So basically Larry has a low sperm count, makes sense since he is such a pussy."

Piper laughed "Pretty much, so all the kids are Jax's, he knows, but he is in a band, he sends money for the kids, he puts it in my bank account, one that Larry doesn't know about, even though I tell him it's not necessary, but he insists, he just doesn't have time for kids, he is married to some super model."

"Has the kids met him?" Alex asked wanting more information.

Piper nodded her head "A couple times, they got along great, but again like I said, he doesn't have time for kids."

"Are you going to tell the kids?" Alex asked

"Maybe, probably once Silas turns eighteen, I want to tell them all at once, I just don't know how." Piper told her sadly.

"Hey, I don't think they will be as mad or hurt as you think they will be, they don't even like Larry, it's not like they have a great connection with them, so I think everything will be okay." Alex told her with a smile "And plus I will be right there with you."

Piper smiled back as she wrapped her arms around Alex's neck and whispered "Thanks Al" Against her lips before she kissed her passionately.

"So how was this Jax guy in bed?" Alex asked with a smirk as she pulled back from the kiss.

"Shut up" Piper smiled as she playfully hit Alex on the arm "But he is pretty damn fucking good"

Alex laughed before she kissed Piper again before she told her "Well I'll be sure to blow your mind."

Piper laughed "Egotistical much?"

"Nope I just know how to please women." Alex smirked just as her home phone started to ring. She quickly walked over to her phone, and picked it up from the cradle before she pressed talk. "Hey Red." Alex greeted into the phone.

Piper quickly jumped off the island counter, and took Lambert outside, where she grabbed another cigarette and lit it.

A few minutes later, Alex joined her outside. "Hey Pipes, but I have to go into worry earlier than I planned." Alex told her and Piper nodded her head as Alex reached for Piper's lit cigarette in her hand, and grabbed it, before taking a long drag. "I'm going to go and take a quick shower." Alex added as she exhaled.

"Okay" Piper told her before she sat down in the chair, and then watched as Alex disappeared inside.

About forty-five minutes later, Piper was still sitting outside, while Lambert was roaming the yard, when Alex returned, hair done, and make up on. "What time will you be back?" Piper asked as Alex reached for her laptop.

"Since I am going in earlier, I will probably leave at 4:30, since I have an appointment at 5:15. I can try and reschedule that, but I don't want to, since I have pushed it off for about two weeks now. So I will probably be home around 6:30." Alex told her before she added "The keys to any car you want are hanging up in the kitchen if you want to go anywhere, help yourself to anything. Just make yourself at home."

Piper nodded "Okay I will probably go to the store, and get some items for dinner." Piper told her before she asked "No gluten right?"

Alex nodded with a smile "No gluten, I mostly eat organic and all natural foods."

"Got it, any food allergies?" Piper asked before she added "Beside the gluten?"

"Dairy, but I do drink Organic milk, and that doesn't bother me. And please no food with GMO's or high fructose corn syrup." Alex told her with a smile before she added "I know it's annoying."

Piper shook her head "It's not annoying."

"Thanks" Alex told her sweetly before she gave her a quick kiss. "I would ask you to come with me, but I do have my appointment, and I'm sure you wouldn't want to wait there." Alex told her.

"Go, we will be fine, right Lambert?" Piper asked the dog, who quickly licked her hand. "See, now go to work, be careful, and I will see you when you get home." Piper told her with a smile.

Alex nodded her head before she gave Piper another quick kiss, "I will see you later." Alex smiled before she walked into the house, and then out to the garage, got in her car, and left the house.

Well there is chapter 10!

Gotta love Nicky, for being Nicky!
