Authors Note: Hey everyone, thanks for all the reviews, follows, favs, and of course reading.
I just wanted to take a moment to give out a shout out to WB79: Thank you so much for all your wonderful reviews, and being such a faithful reader. I am glad you are liking the real life stuff that I include into the story as well, actually I am glad you all are. It is very easy to write about the gluten free issues (Since I am as well), and other food related issues that Laura Prepon (Alex Vause) in real life suffers from, because her and I suffer from very similar issues. Also adding real life stuff to the story gives it a sense of realness as well. Thank you again for all your wonderful reviews, and I hope you continue to like this story.
Once again I do not own any of these characters.
Now without any more further ado, here is chapter 12!
"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?"
As Piper watched the slightly taller woman walked into the house, she couldn't help but shake her head with a smile. "She is going to be the death of me." Piper mumbled to herself, as she got up off the ground, and followed the other woman into the house, with Lambert quickly following behind her.
"Bout time you followed" Alex smirked as she placed what was rest of the blueberry cobbler on the counter, and the two dishes into the sink.
"Shut up" Piper teased with a smile.
Alex couldn't help but laugh at Piper's remark, "There you go telling me to shut up again." Alex smirked and Piper just rolled her eyes. "Let me just grab my keys and then we can go." Alex told her as she walked over to the back door locking it, and then grabbed her keys off the hook, before she looked back over at the blonde. "You ready?"
Piper nodded her head, as she followed Alex out into the garage and got into Alex's Lamborghini. "Do you always take this car?" Piper asked with a smile as she put on her seatbelt.
"Well it is my newest, so yes." Alex smirked as she backed out of the garage.

The drive to the 'Vitamin Shoppe' wasn't a long one, and the people who were standing around, couldn't help but notice when Alex pulled in. "I think some people are jealous of your car" Piper smirked as she unbuckled her seatbelt.
"What else is new" Alex laughed, as she stepped out of the car, then making her way of to Piper's, and held out her hand.
"Thank you" Piper smiled as she took Alex's hand.
"Anytime, milady" Alex smiled as she shut the car door behind her.
As both women walked into the store, the guy who stood behind the counter couldn't help but stare at Alex, but he didn't want to make a scene, so he let them carry on with their business. "So what kind of vitamins do you want?" Alex asked as they walked down an isle.
Piper shrugged her shoulders as she said "I don't know"
Alex rolled her eyes with a chuckle as she teased "Helpful"
"Which ones do you take?" Piper asked as she playfully hit her on the arm with her free hand.
"I take a gluten free multi vitamin, and the vitamin b1." Alex told her but before she could go on, Piper cut her off.
"Then I will take those." Piper announced with a smile before she added "If they work for you, they will work for me."
"Are you sure, you know you don't have to take what I take." Alex told her as they walked down the next isle to where Alex normally got hers. Piper just nodded her head, so Alex got two bottles of each, since she was starting to run low on hers as well.
"Is that it?" The young guy asked from behind the counter, as he rang up the four bottles.
"Yes" Alex told him, but Piper had to cut her off.
"Wait, no it's separate" Piper announced and Alex quickly shushed her.
"Ignore her, it's together." Alex told him, before she looked at Piper and smiled.
The guy just nodded his head, as he placed the vitamins in the bag. "Your total comes to $50.35." Alex nodded her head as she took out her credit card and handed it over to him. "You have a really nice car." The guy told her as he took the card, and slid it through his machine.
"Thanks" Alex smiled as she took back her card.
"Receipt?" The guy asked and Alex nodded her head, while Piper took the bag. "You look very familiar as well." The guy added as he handed over the receipt.
"I do come in here all the time." Alex told him with a smile as she took the receipt.
"No I know you from somewhere else." The guy told her and Alex just chuckled.
"Well when you figure that out, you let me know." Alex smirked at him, before she placed her hand on Piper's lower back, and then walked out of the store.
XXXXX
Once they were outside, Alex opened Piper's car door, and then shut it when she was inside and then made her way over to the driver side, and got in it. "You know you didn't have to do that" Piper told her with a smile.
"Do what?" Alex asked as she put on her seatbelt.
"Pay for my vitamins." Piper told her as she put her own seatbelt on as well.
"Oh I thought you were talking about the guy" Alex smirked before she added as she started her car "And don't worry about it."
"Do you always say that to people if they say you look familiar?" Piper asked as they cruised on down the street.
"Sometimes, it's fun fucking with them" Alex told her with a smile and then added "But if they do recognize me, I always take a picture, and do an autograph for them."
"Doesn't it get crazy?" Piper asked.
"Sometimes, especially at events, but they are my fans, and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for them. So in the end, I am more grateful for them, then they are of me." Alex explained and Piper smiled "What?"
"You are just so sweet, and caring." Piper told her with a smile.
"Now don't go sappy on me." Alex smirked before she asked "So anywhere else? Do you want to drive around?"
"It's up to you" Piper told her with a shrug of her shoulder.
"Well is there any place you would like to see, since you haven't been here in a while?" Alex asked as they stopped at a stop light.
"Not really, I honestly don't really know. And if there is, we can always go there with the kids." Piper told her and Alex nodded her head.
"Then let's do that, it will be a family day." Alex said with a smile.
"A family day?" Piper asked making sure she heard her correctly.
"Yup, a family day." Alex said with a smile before she asked "We are a family are we not?"
"I guess we are, aren't we?" Piper smiled.
The ride back to Alex's was a nice and a quiet one, as Piper took in everything around her, and realizing that this wasn't a dream, and she was really here, with Alex. "So what time will the kids be arriving?" Alex asked as she pulled into her driveway.
"You say that so easily, you know that?" Piper asked with a smile.
"What kids?" Alex asked and Piper nodded "Well maybe because deep down, I always have wanted them, I've just been waiting for the right person." Alex added with a smile.
Piper smiled back as she felt her heart skip a beat. "They will be flying out tomorrow, when they get out school."
"Great, and any word from Larry?" Alex asked as she pulled into garage.
"Nope neither the kids, or I have heard from him." Piper told her as she got out of the car.
"And what about Pete and Polly?" Alex asked as the walked into the house.
"Neither, he hasn't even been at work." Piper explained.
"That's not good, he's planning something Piper." Alex exclamined.
"How do you know?" Piper asked as she placed the bag down on the counter.
"Because like I said I know how to read people, I know it's bad to ask, but can the kids fly out first thing in the morning, instead of waiting? I don't have a good feeling about this Pipes." Alex told her, and Piper nodded her head.
"I will call Polly." Piper told her and just as she was about to leave Alex stopped her.
"I will arrange a private jet; I don't want them flying with other people." Alex told her as she wrapped her arms around Piper's waist and kissed her quickly.
"Thanks Al" Piper smiled before she kissed her one more time, and then left the kitchen to go and call Polly.

A half hour later, Piper joined Alex in the living room, where she was watching TV. "So what did Polly have to say?" Alex asked as the blonde sat down next to her.
"She just told me to text her what time to get them to the airport." Piper told her as she snuggled up to Alex.
"The kids might kill me, but can she get them there for 5:30?" Alex asked with a smile.
"5:30 in the morning?" Piper asked with wide eyes as she looked at Alex "Are you crazy, they barely get up that early to go to school." Piper exclaimed and Alex chuckled.
"I know but Pipes, this is serious." Alex told her with pleading eyes.
Piper looked at her for a few seconds before she asked "What is going through your mind Alex?"
Alex shook her head "Nothing, I don't want to worry you."
But Piper wasn't happy with that answer "Alex, they are my kids, and if you are thinking that they are in danger, then I have a right to know." Piper told her a bit loudly.
Alex knew Piper was getting angry, so she took the blonde's hand in her own and squeezed it tightly. "I know Pipes, but it's not like I am an expert or anything on human behavior, I just know how to read them." Alex began to explain but Piper cut her off.
"Should Polly get them to the airport now? Can you arrange a plane now?" Piper asked beginning to get even more worried than she already was.
Alex looked deep into Piper's blue eyes, and she could see the concern there as she slowly nodded her head. "Yes Pipes, get them to the airport now, I had a plane already arranged and ready whenever I gave them the command." Alex explained and Piper felt her eyes tear up, never had she met someone as caring as Alex Vause was.
"Thank you Alex, you are the best." Piper told her with a smile and watery eyes, before she kissed her quickly and then called back her best friend, to have her bring her kids to the airport.
XXXX
Once again after Piper got off the phone with Polly, she snuggled up against Alex back on the couch, "They will probably get here around 5 our time." Alex said with a smile, as Piper joined her.
"They are going to kill you." Piper smirked.
"No they won't, I'm the cool mom remember?" Alex asked her with a chuckle.
"Oh shut up" Piper laughed as she snuggled even closer to Alex, and placed a kiss on her neck. "Aren't you tired?" Piper asked softly against her neck.
Alex nodded her head "Yeah, but I can stay awake, I am used to this. I have suffered with insomnia badly my entire life, but the B1 has helped." Alex informed her.
Piper got up from the couch, and held out her hand, making Alex sent her a quizzical look. "Come on, let's go to bed." Piper smiled, and Alex took her hand. But before they went upstairs, they let Lambert out for one more time, and then set the alarm, and made sure everything was all set for the night, before they disappeared upstairs.
Once they were upstairs, they got ready for bed, and then snuggled up in bed, with of course Lambert joining them. "You know Alex, you really are incredible, and I am not just saying that." Piper told her after a few minutes when they got into bed, and were watching 'Family Guy'."
"Thanks Pipes, but it is you who is incredible, and don't even try to fight me on this." Alex told her with a smile before she kissed her.
"Agree to disagree then" Piper smirked against her lips, before she kissed her one more time. "Now go to sleep, you can barely keep your eyes open, and Polly texted me, the kids have gotten of the plane safely, and have taken off." Piper told her with a smile.
"Good, and Milah too right?" Alex asked with a smile needing to make sure, even though she already knew the answer.
"Milah too" Piper told her with a smile and a nod of her head.
"Good" Alex smiled as she kissed Piper one more time, and then closed her eyes.
Piper couldn't help but smile as she watched Alex slip into a deep sleep quickly. "Night Al" Piper smiled as she pressed a kiss to Alex's forehead before she herself fell into deep slumber.
XXXXX
Before they knew it, both Piper and Alex's alarm were going off, telling them that they had to get up to go and get the kids. But just as Piper was turning off her alarm it dawned on her, so she rolled over quickly and hit Alex on the arm. "What?" Alex groaned not fully awake yet.
"Do you have cars that won't make Silas nearly die of a heart attack? Like any normal cars?" Piper shouted a bit louder than she planned to, making Alex roll over, and pull the covers over her head. "Alex I am serious!" Piper exclaimed as she pulled the covers back, making Alex groan again.
"Piper, it is 3:45 in the morning, and you are asking me about my cars, I don't even function at noon, yet you think I can be a functioning adult at 3:45 in the morning?" Alex asked as she sat up in bed, and put on her glasses.
"Alex!" Piper whined playfully as she got out of bed, and grabbed her clothes before she walked into the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, Piper reappeared from the bathroom, and saw that Alex was still in bed. "Oh my god what are you doing?" Piper asked.
"Waiting for you, what does it look like?" Alex asked in a sleep filled voice.
"Well come on, get dressed." Piper shouted a bit loudly, she didn't mean to shout but she missed her kids, and couldn't wait to they were with her again.
"I am dressed, I am going like this, I have on sweatpants, and a tank top, I am set." Alex told her as she got out of bed and grabbed her cell phone.
"Wow I never would have guessed you were a celebrity, if it wasn't for this house." Piper teased as she walked out of the bedroom, with Alex following her.
Once they were downstairs, Alex let Lambert out quickly before she grabbed her keys, and both women walked out to the garage, where Alex walked over to her Mercedes GL 450 and asked with a smile "So is this normal enough for you?"
"Smartass, get in the car" Piper chuckled with a roll of her eyes.
The drive to 'LAX' didn't take long, and when they arrived at the gate, the plane still hadn't arrived. "Alex, why isn't the plane here, they were supposed to be here by now." Piper panicked.
"Shh, Pipes, it's okay, I can see a plane coming in." Alex told her as she squeezed her hand, and drove through the gate once it was opened.
"That better be them" Piper mumbled under her breath, as they pulled up to where they should be as they watched the plane land.
"That's my plane." Alex told Piper with a smile as the plane landed, and the door opened.
Piper quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and threw open her door, and quickly got out of the car, with Alex quickly following. "MOM, ALEX!" Melanie, and Silas shouted as they got out of the plane and ran over to the two women, wrapping them in a tight hug.
"My babes" Piper exclaimed happily with tears in her eyes, as she and Alex hugged the kids tightly. "Where is your sister?" Piper asked as she pulled back from the hug.
"Getting Milah." Melanie told her mom before she added "They had to sedate her, she didn't like the flying."
"I'll go help her" Alex told them before she walked over to the plane and walked on board. "Helena?" Alex asked as she stepped on board.
"Hey Al" Helena said happily as she picked Milah up. "She didn't like the whole flying idea."
"I heard" Alex told her with a chuckle "Here I will help you." Alex told her as she walked over to Helena, and the two walked off the plane with Milah.
Alex helped Helena into the car, and put Milah on her lap, as the other two got into the backseat, as Marco put their bags in the back. "That's it Ms. Vause" Marco told her as he put the last bag in the suv.
"Thanks Marco." Alex told her in as she tipped him, and then helped Piper into the car, before getting into driver's side. "We ready to go home?" Alex everybody in the car.
"Yes, I want to go back to bed." All three kids answered at the same time, making Alex and Piper chuckle.
"See I told you they wouldn't have been happy about the time." Piper smirked, as Alex put the car in drive and then drove home.
When they arrived to Alex's mansion, all three kids who were still barely awake jaws dropped. "Alex you live here?" Silas and Melanie asked at the same time.
"Yes, wait until you see my cars Silas." Alex told him.
"ALEX" Piper shouted with a smile
"Oh right, sorry." Alex smirked even though she knew she wasn't supposed to tell him.
"No you're not" Piper smirked
"You're right, I'm not" Alex smirked back as she pulled into her garage.
As Alex pulled into the garage, Silas's jaw dropped again, as he took in the sight of all the cars around him. "Oh my god, Alex are these all yours?" Silas asked in amazement and shock.
"Yup" Alex said with a nod of her head.
"Oh my god, you are so cool." Silas shouted.
"See I told you I was the cool mom." Alex said with a smile.
Everyone got out of the car, and grabbed their bags, and even though he wanted to look at all Alex's car, right now he really just wanted to go back to bed. "Through this door, up the stairs, what ever room you want, it's yours." Alex told them with a smile. "Except mine, that is mine, and your mothers." Alex added.
"Oh god" Silas groaned.
"Problem there Silas?" Alex asked when she heard the groan.
"Yes, no massaging, or I am getting a therapist." Silas warned before he walked into the house following his sister's, making Alex and Piper laugh.
"I think you scarred him for life, Pipes." Alex chuckled before she and Piper walked into the house, and up to their own bedroom, to try and get a couple more hours of sleep.
XXXX
Two hours later, the whole household was sleeping soundly, when Alex's cell phone rang on the nightstand. Alex let out a groan, as she pulled the covers over her head, trying to ignore the sound, until Piper hit her. "Alex your phone, shut it off." Piper groaned as she rolled over.
"Ugh fine" Alex groaned as she rolled over, and grabbed the annoying device off the night stand and slid her finger across the screen. "Hello?" Alex answered in a sleep filled voice.
"Hi Alex, this is.." The person on the other side of the phone told her, but Alex cut them off.
"Yes I know who this is." Alex told them "What can I help you with?" Alex asked just wanting to go back to bed.
"I would rather not tell you over the phone, can you please come in today?" The person asked, and Alex felt her heart drop a bit.
"Yeah I can come in around noon, see you then." Alex told them and then hung up the phone.
"Is everything okay?" Piper asked as she rolled over to look over at Alex.
Alex nodded her head, as she snuggled up against Piper and whispered "Everything is fine" even though deep down, she wasn't really sure if it was.
