Authors Note: Hey everyone, thanks for all your awesome and wonderful reviews, follows, favs, and of course reading. I apologize that this review is a bit delayed, I had a busy weekend, between getting a new phone, and then trying to switch colleges, things have just been a bit crazy right now. But anyway, I am glad you all are enjoying this story, and I can't believe we are already on chapter 11.
Once again I do not own any of these characters
Also just a quick little reply to a review by the guest named 'WhatNoww': Just to clarify, I can see how Piper could come off as a slut, but she only cheated on Larry those times, but can you blame her? I do no encourage cheating, but Larry is a dick to Piper and the kids. NO really man would treat a woman and kids like that, let alone anyone like that, so no Larry is not the victim here, Piper and the kids are. And Alex will not nor will she ever treat Piper or the kids they way Larry treated them, so Piper would have no need to cheat, nor would she want to. Even though they say "Once a cheater, always a cheater" That will not be the case in this story. I just wanted to clarify that, thank you for your review.
Now without any further ado here is chapter 11!
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.
A half hour after Alex left for work, once Piper was off the phone with Polly, making sure everything was okay back home. She let Lambert in the house, shut the door, locking it behind her, and then made her way upstairs to shower, and get ready for her day. When she got out of the shower, Piper threw on a pair of jean shorts, a tank top, and ran some moose in her hair, for a little bit of a curl. Once she was done, she grabbed the keys to Alex's Lexus IS Convertible, and then made sure the house was secure, before she said goodbye to Lambert, before she went into the garage and got into the car. Once she backed out of the garage, she pulled out her phone, and set the GPS to the nearest 'Whole Foods' and then left the mansion.
The drive to the grocery store, didn't take as long as Piper would have thought, when she pulled into the parking lot, she quickly found a parking spot, and got out of the car, locking it behind her.

Meanwhile, Alex and Nicky were dealing with a very drama queen type teenage girl, who didn't want to learn her lines because she thought they were stupid. "Listen, if you don't want to the part…" Nicky began but Alex cut her off.
"Look I know you think you know everything, but this script right here" Alex said as calmly as she could waving the script in front of the brunette teenage girl before she continued. "Is Oscar worthy."
"And she would know, she has won three Oscars already." Nicky said with a smug smile.
The teenage girl, who's name was Emma just sat there rolling her eyes, as she snapped her gum. "I don't care; I want a different script. This script is bull"
Alex looked at the girl as she shook her head before she yelled "Red!"
Quickly an older Russian lady, with red hair made their way over to the table where the three girls were. "Yes Al?" Red asked, as she tensed both Alex's and Nicky's frustration with the teenage girl.
"Do you think this script is bull?" Alex asked staying calm as she handed Red the script.
Red skimmed through the script, shaking her head "Of course not, this is one of the best scripts that has ever written." Red told her with confidence as she sent a death glare to the teenage girl who snapping her gum even louder. "Let me guess little miss Drama Queen doesn't like it?" Red asked still eying the teenager.
"Yup" Nicky quickly told her as looked Emma.
The room was silent for a few moments, except for Emma's gum, before Alex threw her hands in the hair and shouted "Fine, get off my set, you're fired."
Emma's eyes went wide as she heard Alex's demand. "What you can't fire me?"
Alex chuckled before she stood up from her chair, moving closer to Emma. "Really, because I just did, you wouldn't know a good script, even if it hit you in the face. Now get off my set, before I have you escorted out of here by security, and you will never get another job again, that's even if anyone wants to hire you, once they find out that I fired you." Alex told her between clench teeth, and Nicky chuckled.
"Well you heard you the lady, bye bye." Nicky told her with smug smile, as all three women watched Emma get up from her chair, and stormed off the set.
"What made you even consider her in the first place?" Red asked once Emma was gone.
"Did a favor for someone, last time I ever do one of those." Alex said with a chuckle, as she walked away from both women.
Once Alex was out of sight, Red turned to look at Nicky as she asked with a whisper "Did she take her vitamins this morning?"
"Between you and Jodi" Nicky said with a laugh before she added with a nod of her head "Yes, well she says she did, she had some blonde there when I went there this morning."
"A blonde?" Red asked with a raised eye brow, and Nicky nodded her head "Have you seen her before?"
Nicky shook her head as she said "Nope, but her name was Piper."
Red just nodded her head, and then walked away, knowing that work had to be done to find a new lead girl for the role.

Although back at the grocery store, Piper was now walking out of the store, and putting the grocery bags in the trunk. She had no other places to go, so instead she just drove back to Alex's. She grabbed all the bags in one trip, not wanting to take another trip out to the car. It didn't take her long, to find all the stuff she needed in Alex's kitchen, the dark haired woman was very well organized. But before she started the dinner, since she knew that Alex wouldn't be home for another couple hours, she settled on making a specialty of hers, a gluten free blueberry cobbler.

Back at the set though, Nicky had just realized the time as she shook her head "VAUSE!" She yelled across the set, getting Alex's attention.
"WHAT NICHOLS?" Alex shouted back at her best friend.
"Did you notice the time?" Nicky asked as she pointed to the clock on the wall.
Alex looked in the direction Nicky was pointing, then quickly stood up from her chair mumbling "Shit" When she saw it was already 4:50. She quickly said goodbye to Red, and Nicky, before she hurried to her car, and sped to her appointment.

Back at Alex's, Piper was letting the clobber cool on the counter, while she was preparing a very simple homemade gluten free chicken pot pie, with organic vegetables.

An hour later, Alex was walking out of her appointment with Jodi, when they were walking out to her car is when Jodi finally said something to her since leaving the building. "I was starting to think you wouldn't have shown, I am glad you proved me wrong, I know how busy everything has been for you." Jodi told her best friend with a smile, after Alex's appointment.
"I know, I'm sorry I've been putting it off. I'll do better." Alex told her with a smile before she added "I would love to stick around though, but I have to get going, Piper is waiting for me."
Jodi nodded her head, as she and Alex walked toward Alex's car, and once they reached it, just as Alex was about to open her car door, Jodi asked "How is everything else?" Alex looked at her best friend, because she knew exactly what she was talking about. "Alex don't shut me out, how is everything going? Have you found out anything yet?" Jodi asked her more sternly.
Alex shook her head "No, hopefully at least by Monday."
Jodi nodded her head, before she stepped closer to her, and wrapped her best friend in a hug. "You will let me know the minute you hear, right?" Jodi asked her best friend, as she hugged her tightly.
Alex nodded her head "Of course, Jodes"
"Good" Jodi told her as she pulled back from the hug, before she asked "Does Piper know?"
Alex shook her head "No, and I am not going to tell her anything" Alex began to tell her but Jodi cut her off.
"Alex you can't hide that from her" Jodi snapped before she added.
"I'm not, I just don't want to worry her, if there is nothing to be worried about." Alex explained before she added "I don't want her thinking she is taking a shot with someone, who isn't worth it."
Jodi's eyes lit up when she heard Alex's words "So you are dating?"
Alex nodded "We kind of made it official this morning." Alex told her with a beaming smile.
"Good" Jodi smiled back "I like her, and I don't think she would be the type to leave you or regret being with you, because of something like this." Jodi told her and Alex just nodded her head.
"Well I have to get going." Alex told her as she opened her car door.
"Go home to your woman, I will talk to you later." Jodi told her with a smile, as she watched Alex get into her car, and then driving off a few moments later.

When Alex finally arrived home, Piper was too caught up in setting the patio table out side, and taking the pot pie out of the oven, that she didn't even hear or notice when Alex got there, and Alex couldn't help but smile. "Mmm, something smells good." Alex announced as she walked into the kitchen, making Piper jump, and Alex couldn't help but chuckle.
"Jesus you scared me." Piper gasped as she tried to catch her breath, making Alex chuckle even more.
"The name is Alex, not Jesus" Alex smirked as she teased the blonde, as she walked over to the blonde, and wrapped her arms around her waist, as she pulled her flush against her body, before she gave her a quick kiss hello.
"Well then Alex, you're lucky I didn't have our dinner in my hands, when you scared me half to death." Piper teased back.
"Me too, but really Pipes, what smells so good?" Alex asked as she pulled away from the blonde, and walked over to the fridge, grabbing a bottle of water.
"Well come outside, and you will find out." Piper told her before she walked out of the kitchen, and then outside, with Alex hot on her tail.

When Alex stepped out into her backyard, her jaw dropped. The patio was set up with candles, with two glasses of wine already served, along with a very delicious looking meal waiting for them on the table. "Pipes?" Alex asked in a whisper before she added "When did you do all this, how?"
"Earlier" Piper smiled "While you were at work, and it was easy."
"Wow, no one has ever done anything like this for me before." Alex told her with a smile.
Piper smiled as she walked over to Alex, and wrapped her in a hug, giving her a quick kiss before she whispered "Well get used to it."
Alex kissed her one more time, before they parted and sat down at the table, "So Chef Chapman, what did you make?" Alex asked with a smile.
"Well Ms. Vause, we have a homemade, my secret recipe, gluten free chicken pot pie, with organic vegetables." Piper began but Alex cut her off.
"But what kind of crust is this?" Alex asked with a smirk.
"Well if you didn't interrupt me, I was getting to that" Piper smirked before she added "For the crust, it is a sweet southern style cornbread. Don't worry again gluten free."
"Wow Pipes, everything looks great." Alex told her with a smile, as Piper served her a slice, and then serving herself one. But before they dug into their food, Alex raised her wine glass. "A toast, to you Piper, for this beautiful meal, which you didn't have to do. And just for being the amazing woman you are." Alex said with a smile.
Piper smiled back at Alex, before her free hand across the table grabbing Alex's, squeezing it tightly before she said with a smile "No, to us Alex."
"To us" Alex smiled as they both clicked their glasses together, and then took a sip of their wine, their eyes never leaving each others.
Once Alex took her first bite of the chicken pot pie, her eyes instantly rolled back in her head, as she let out a soft moan, making Piper smirk. "Oh my God, Pipes, this is delicious." Alex told her with her eyes still closed.
"Thanks Al" Piper said with a smile before she added "You okay, are you going to be able to finish the meal with out an orgasm?" Piper teased.
"Shut up" Alex laughed "I'll be fine."
"Mhmm, whatever you say." Piper continued to tease, and Alex just sent her a look.
"So where did you learn to make this, because you obviously didn't just come up with it today." Alex asked before she added "Because if you did, then damn I think cooking is your calling."
Piper smiled as she shook her head "No, the cornbread is my grandmother's recipe, I just changed a few things to make it gluten free, but I have been cooking gluten free for over ten years now. Since, Silas, Helena, and Melanie cannot eat it, and I am starting to have issues with it as well." Piper explained.
Alex nodded her head, as finally it had all started to make sense "That's why you had all organic and gluten free items in your house." Alex said proudly finally putting the pieces together.
"Very good Sherlock" Piper teased with a smile, making Alex throw her napkin at her.

The rest of the dinner was spent talking about causally things, and while Piper was cleaning up their plates, and bringing out dessert, since Piper insisted on cleaning up, and made Alex just relax. Alex had come up with an idea, but she wasn't too sure how Piper would handle it. "Wow, Pipes you really were busy, what is that?" Alex asked when Piper came back outside.
"Homemade blueberry cobbler." Piper told her with a smile "Gluten free of course" She added as she set it down on the glass table.
"Wow, I don't even have words." Alex smiled as Piper dished her out a piece. "So Pipes, today at work I fired my lead." Alex came right out and told her after a few minutes of silence.
Piper's eyes went wide as she asked "Why?"
"She was such a drama queen, she thought the script was shit, she just wasn't good, I hired her for as a favor, never doing that again though." Alex explained before she added "It's for the best."
"So do you have any replacement's in mind?" Piper asked before she ate another bite of the cobbler.
Alex nodded her head "I do, but I don't know how to go about it." Alex told her as she watched Piper's face closely.
"Why? I am sure anyone would love to work for you, or with you." Piper asked.
"Yes, but she has never had a big role before, I don't know how her parents would react, especially her father, but I don't think it would matter much to her, or her mother, what her father thought" Alex explained still watching Piper, hoping that maybe she would catch on.
Piper looked at Alex for a few moments and she thought about what Alex had said, before she asked "Are you saying what I think you're saying?"
"I don't know what am I saying?" Alex asked with a smirk.
Piper remained quiet for a few moments before she asked "Are you thinking about asking Helena if she wants the role?"
Alex nodded her head "It would be a great role for her, and I know she would play it perfectly." Alex told her with a smile "It is sure to be Oscar nominated, the role, and the move. And I am not just saying that because it's mine, I just know Oscar worthy stuff when I see it."
Piper thought about what Alex had told her, as she slowly nodded her head with a smile "I say yes, you can discuss it with her, when they get here this weekend."
Alex's eyes went wide "Really?" Alex asked in shock.
Piper nodded her head, as she stood up from the table, and walked over to Alex and straddled her lap for the second time that day, placing her hands on both sides of her face, as she whispered "yes" against her lips, then kissed her passionately.
But like always, they always got interrupted by something, and this time it was Alex's cell phone ringing next to them on the table. Alex groaned into the kiss, as Piper pulled away, and Alex grabbed the annoying phone on the table, snapping as she answered it "What?"
"Did I interrupt something?" Jodi asked through the phone.
"No" Alex lied making her best friend laugh.
"Yeah right, I just wanted to call and check to make sure you got home okay." Jodi said with a chuckle.
"Well I got home safely." Alex smiled, as Piper started kissing her neck.
"Good" Jodi said before she asked "quick question, can you come in tomorrow before work?"
Alex tried not to laugh, as Piper kept placing tiny kisses on her neck. "I can try, what time?" Alex asked stifling a laugh.
"I don't even want to what is so funny" Jodi teased before she added "About ten, does that work for you?"
"Stop" Alex mumbled with a laugh before she cleared her throat "Yeah that's fine, see you then Jodes, bye" Alex told her quickly before she hung up the phone, throwing it on the table, and then quickly standing up as she Piper wrapped her legs around Alex, and Alex quickly walked them over to the grass, and laid them both down and started tickling the blonde, as she straddled her hips. "You are such a tease." Alex growled into the blonde's ear as she kept tickling her.
"Alex, stop" Piper giggled.
"Nope" Alex smiled as Lambert came running over, and started licking Piper's face. "Get her Lambert!" Alex told her dog with a smile.
"I surrender" Piper exclaimed between dog kisses, and laughter"
"Begging for Mercy already?" Alex asked as she leaned back looking down at Piper who just nodded her head. "I don't think you'll be able to handle me then." Alex told her with a smirk.
Piper sent her a quizzical look, and Alex raised her eyebrow "You are talking in a sexual way, aren't you?" Piper asked with a roll of her eyes.
"You bet your sweet ass I am" Alex growled as she leaned down and whispered in Piper's ear "I will make you feel things you have never felt before." Piper felt her heartbeat sped up as she felt Alex's hot breath hit her ear, and her husky voice in her ear. But Alex quickly pulled back as she smirked "But first, we have to go and get you some vitamins."
"You are such a tease" Piper said with a roll of her eyes as she let out a laugh.
"Hey that's my line." Alex smiled as she quickly got up off the blonde, and started making her way back to the house, before she looked over her shoulder and saw that the blonde was watching her walk away, she quickly smiled and winked as she said "You coming?"
Well there is chapter 11!
Jodi approves of Alex and Piper!
We still haven't gotten down to what is going on with Alex, but I promise it will all come out soon enough, but I love hearing all your inputs on what it might be.
The kids will be arriving soon, and how sweet is Alex to think of Helena for the role, do you think she will say yes?
But what will the kids think of Alex and Piper's relationship? They like Alex, but it could be different once they realize she is now dating their mom.
I love hearing from all of you! I am so glad you all are enjoying because their would be no story without any of you. So until next time!
