Now without any further ado, here is chapter 15!
Piper felt her heart drop a bit, and quickly thought the worst "If you tell me my daughter is pregnant, I will seriously go into that house and kill her" Piper told her in a voice, that made Alex question whether the blonde woman was serious or joking, but she really didn't want to find out.
Alex placed her hands on both of Piper's arms to keep her seated as she shook her head "There will be no killing of anyone today Pipes" Alex smirked
"Well not children anyway."
"Then what is it Alex?" Piper asked wanting to know.
Alex took a deep breath before she told her "Larry called her yesterday."
All Piper could do was look at Alex, as the words registered in her mind, and it took a few minutes before she asked "Larry did what?"
Alex couldn't help but smile at the blonde before she repeated what she already said. "Larry called Helena yesterday."
Piper nodded her head "Yeah I got that" Piper mumbled before she asked "Did she say what he wanted?" But before Alex could answer, Piper asked another question "Why didn't she tell me?"
Alex shook her head "I don't know Pipes, maybe she didn't want to worry you, I really don't know, I had a hard time getting it out of her too." Alex told her softly before she added "But as for what he said, he told her that he would be seeing her shortly. And Helena told him she didn't want to see him after everything that has happened, and Larry told her that she wouldn't have a choice, because he would get custody, and that you would regret what you have done."
Piper's eyes went wide with Alex told her, because just then she realized what was going to be exposed. "Alex, I can't do this." Piper quickly told her as she shook her head.
"Do what Pipes?" Alex asked confused, but a bit scared as well.
"I can't leave him; I can't leave Larry." Piper told her shaking her head.
Alex felt her whole world spinning as she asked taking Piper's hand "What do you mean you can't leave him Pipes? Look at what he did to you, to the kids."
"That's it Alex, don't you get it?" Piper shouted about to stand up, but Alex stopped her.
"Piper stop, talk to me, what is going on inside your head." Alex begged her with tears in her eyes, not wanting to lose, especially since she just got her.
"The kids" Piper shouted
"What about them Pipes?" Alex asked and then it dawned on her "This is about them not being Larry's isn't it?" Alex asked.
Piper eyes filled with tears, as she nodded her head "If you think he's angry now, how do you think he is going to react when he finds that out" Piper told her.
Alex quickly pulled Piper in for a tight hug never wanting to let her go. "Pipes, you need to listen to me, I will not let him do anything to you or the kids. I promise you that." Alex whispered in her ear.
"But Alex…" Piper began as she pulled back from the hug, but Alex cut her off.
"No, Pipes, that isn't a reason to say with someone, he is going to find out, and I am going to stand beside you and protect you and the kids the whole time. I promise you Pipes, we are going to get through this together, as a family." Alex told her in a stern but loving voice.
Piper nodded her head, because she knew she overreacted, but then she softly said "I have to tell the kids."
Alex nodded her head in agreement "Yes you do Pipes, but I think they will understand, and I don't think they are going to be as mad as you think they will be." Alex explained with a smile.
"How do I even tell them that?" Piper asked before she added "Especially after everything."
"I will be right there with you if you want me to be." Alex smiled before she added "But trust me, they will understand."
"You will do that for me?" Piper asked with a smile
"Of course Pipes." Alex told her with a smile of her own.
All Piper could do was smile, before she wrapped Alex in another tight hug as she whispered "Just not tonight, or tomorrow."
"Whenever your ready" Alex chuckled as she hugged her back tightly.

The rest of the afternoon was spent just hanging out, Helena decided to teach Milah how to swim, since she followed Lambert into the pool, and then kind of freaked out when she hit the water. But Alex acted quickly, jumping in to help her. "Thanks Al" Helena smiled as she ran outside.
"No problem." Alex smiled as she got out of the pool. "But you might want to teach her how to swim." Alex winked.
"I will" Helena told her, as she put the leash on Milah, and handed it to Piper, before she went in to change.

While Helena was having fun with Milah in the pool, Silas came outside to join his mother, Alex, and Jodi who were sitting in the backyard, watching his sister, Milah, and Lambert in the pool. "Hey Alex?" Silas asked as he walked outside.
"Yeah?" Alex asked as she reached over for her cigarettes, and took one out, before lighting it making Silas's jaw drop.
"You smoke?" He asked in shock, and Piper sent him a look.
"NO, what did I tell you the last time I caught you?" Piper warned her son.
Silas held up his hands in the air as he said "I was just asking; I didn't know she smoked."
Quickly Alex put her newly lit cigarette out in the ashtray, as she exhaled the smoke. "Sorry, I won't smoke around them." Alex told Piper, before she turned her head to look at Silas "So what's up?"
"Do you have any tape?" Silas asked while both Piper and Jodi turned to look at the teenager with confused looks.
"Yes, but can I ask why?" Alex asked with a laugh, as she looked at her girlfriend, and best friend's facial expressions.
"My controller battery cover cracked, I wanted to tape it." Silas told her and Piper cut her him off.
"Did you throw it again?" Piper asked with a look.
"No, I dropped it." Silas told her with a shake of his head.
"Mmmhmm" Piper smirked.
Alex couldn't help but laugh, because she knew how people could be online. "Come on, I'll show you where the tape is." Alex told him as she walked into the house, with Silas following him. "So did you really drop it, or did you throw it?" Alex asked when they were in Alex's home office.
Silas shook his head "No, I threw it. People are so annoying online." Silas told her and Alex couldn't help but laugh, as she nodded her head in agreement.
"I know; I spend way too much time playing 'Halo' online." Alex told him as she handed him the tape.
Silas's eyes went wide as he asked "You play video games?"
Alex couldn't help but laugh as she nodded her head "Shh, don't tell anyone." She joked.
Silas chuckled "Thanks for the tape."
Alex nodded her head before she warned "Just no holes in my walls please"

As Silas headed back upstairs, Alex headed back outside, where she her best friend and girlfriend were laughing "Are you two talking about me again?" Alex asked as she walked outside, and picked up the cigarette she put out, and relit it again.
"Of course not darling" Piper smirked
"Right" Alex smirked as she took drag off her cigarette.
"You know you really shouldn't be doing that Alex." Jodi warned.
"Yeah I know; I will quit" Alex told her as exhaled.
"That's what you have been saying." Jodi told her.
Alex rolled her eyes as she snapped "I know, I will quit just give me time, jeez."
Jodi nodded her head, as she just dropped the subject, but Piper was about to bring up something entirely different, and Alex really didn't want to talk about it. "So Jodi, earlier you said something about there are much better solutions to a therapist, what did you mean?" Piper asked.
"Oh fuck" Alex mumbled under her breath, but Piper didn't hear her.
Jodi looked at Piper for a few seconds, not sure how to answer her "I umm, I just think they are better ways, than a psychiatrist."
Piper nodded her head, while Alex just watched the interaction between them both. "I totally agree though, it's just a joke we have between us." Piper told her with a smile.
Alex's head snapped as turned to look at Piper, after she heard what she said, and couldn't help but ask "What?"
Piper startled by Alex's exclamation, looked at her girlfriend "Yeah, it's a joke. You were there remember?" Piper teased.
"Yeah I know I was there, I meant you agree with Jodi?" Alex asked, before taking a drag off her cigarette.
Piper nodded her head before she explained herself "Yes, I think they are just looking to make money, they don't really care. They just see customers, and then say you need to take this pill, and this pill. When all these medications that are supposed to help you really do more harm than good. They just mask the issue, instead of getting to the root of the problem. And don't even get me started on misdiagnoses." Alex and Jodi both could only stare at Piper, shocked by what she said, but before they could say anything, Piper spoke again. "Now don't get me wrong, not all of them are like that, but a lot of them are."
Jodi nodded her head, as she looked at her best friend and then back at Piper "She's right, 100% right." Jodi told her with a smile, before she added "I am sorry if I overstepped earlier."
Pipe shook her head "No problem, you were fine." Piper told her, while Alex still was starring at her "Alex are you okay?" Piper asked.
Alex quickly nodded her head "Yeah I'm fine" Alex told her but quickly asked "But what if Silas really did want to talk to someone, what would you do?"
"Then I would let him, I would just make sure it was a proper one who just didn't see him as a customer, and not someone who would just push drugs on him." Piper told her.
Jodi smiled at Piper's response as she looked over at Alex and said "Well I think you found your other half."
Alex smiled and nodded her head, but Piper was confused and felt like she missed something. "Did I miss something?" Piper asked.
Alex shook her head "No, I just feel the same way as you." Alex told her with a smile, and Piper couldn't help but smile back.

A short while later, Milah and Lambert were done playing in the pool, and were now running around the yard, while Helena was floating on a raft. "She sure fits the Beverly Hills lifestyle" Piper teased as she stood up and walked over to the edge of the pool. "Hey Diva?" Piper shouted at her daughter with a smile.
"Oh good, can you fetch me an iced tea, thanks darling." Helena teased her mother right back, with a British accent. Piper could only laugh at her daughter but before she could answer her daughter, Helena spoke again. "Can you get Silas and Mel out here, it's kind of boring in here since I got ditched."
"Well Silas is playing his game, but I can try." Piper told her with a smile.
"And Mel?" Helena asked and then it dawned on Piper, she didn't have a clue what her other daughter was doing.
"I don't know, let me go and find her." Piper told her quickly and then just as quickly disappeared into the house.
"MEL?" Piper shouted as she stepped inside the house, but didn't get an answer. Piper quickly searched the whole house, and didn't find her. "Silas have you seen Mel?" Piper asked her son, worried.
"No" Silas told her without his eyes even leaving the screen.
Piper rolled her eyes, and then quickly ran down the stairs, and back outside. "Alex, I can't find Mel" Piper panicked, making Helena quickly slid off her raft, and swam to the steps of the pool.
Alex quickly stood up, and walked over to Piper, while she took her hands. "Relax Pipes, she is downstairs in the theater room." Alex told her with a smile.
"But she didn't answer me." Piper told her and then it hit her "The what room?" Piper asked.
Alex smiled, while Helena came walking over to them. "She's in the theater room. I'm not surprised she didn't hear you." Alex told her with a smile.
"What the hell is she doing down there?" Piper asked, trying to get her heart to go back where it belonged.
"Come on, I'll show you." Alex smiled as she walked inside with Piper, leading her downstairs.
"Hey mom, hey Al" Melanie smiled as she paused the screen, and looked over at her mom, and Alex when she heard them come downstairs.
"What are you doing down here?" Piper asked as she looked up at the screen.
"Watching 'The X-Files' " Melanie told her mother with a smile before she asked "Is everything okay?"
Piper nodded her head "Yeah, I just didn't know where you were." Piper told her with a smile.
"I'm sorry" Melanie smiled back.
"It's okay" Piper told her daughter before she asked "What season are you on?"
"End of fourth" Melanie told her.
Piper nodded her head "Okay, well come upstairs, when this episode is over." Piper told her.
"Okay" Melanie told her and then hit play.

The rest of the day went by fast, Jodi left before dinner, and after they all got done eating, they decided to have a mini marathon of 'The X-Files', ad before they knew it was almost midnight. So Silas went back to his game, while Melanie went to sleep, and Helena went upstairs to read. "Whatcha doin?" Piper asked when she walked out of the bathroom, and into the master bedroom in just a t-shirt, where she saw Alex was sitting on the bed, putting together a packet.
"Finishing Helena's birthday gift" Alex told her as Piper climbed into bed, and kissed her cheek.
"Yeah? Mind sharing?" Piper asked as she kissed Alex's neck.
Alex smiled as she felt Piper's lips on her neck "It's her script." Alex told her.
"Oh you just have to be the cool mom don't you?" Piper teased as she kissed up to Alex's ear, before she nibbled on it.
"Pipes" Alex warned with a smile, as she leaned away from her, to put the script on the nightstand.
"What?" Piper asked all innocent.
Alex rolled her eyes as she turned to look back at the blonde as she said "You know what."
"I don't believe I do" Piper smirked as she leaned in to kiss Alex's neck again "You have to tell me."
Alex just smiled, and before she knew it, Piper was straddling her lap, and then kissing her passionately. Alex moaned into the kiss, taken by surprise, as she kissed the blonde back just as much passion, if not more. Alex traced Piper's lips with the tip of tongue, begging for entrance, which she was quickly granted, as she rolled them both over, so Piper was now on her back. "You know the kids are home." Alex smirked against Piper's lips, before she kissed her again, before she started to kiss down Piper's jaw, and then down to neck.
"Yeah" Piper gasped out as she lost her train of thought, as Alex bit down a bit roughly on Piper's skin.
Alex laughed against Piper's skin, as she moved her hand up, and placed it over Piper's mouth, as she whispered "Shh" against her skin. While she was kissing her neck, with the occasionally bites to the skin, she lifted Piper's t-shirt, up her body. Piper quickly pushed Alex back, as she grabbed the hem of her shirt, and lifted the rest of her shirt off, while Alex couldn't help but stare, as she saw the blonde woman lay in her bed, with only a black lace thong on.
"See something you like?" Piper asked as she bit her lip, in a way that drove Alex crazy.
"Yes I do" Alex growled as she pounced on top of Piper again, and kissed her passionately.
Piper moaned into the kiss as she wrapped her legs around Alex's waist, and she grinded herself against the dark haired woman, making her moan.
As Alex moaned into the kiss, she quickly broke it, kissing her way down the blonde's neck, as she moved her hand up to Piper's breast, and gently squeezed it, making Piper moan. Before she kissed any further down the blonde's body, she looked up at Piper to make sure she wanted this, and she was quickly encouraged when she saw Piper's head thrown back in pleasure.
Quickly she started kissing down Piper's neck again, and then got to her breast that wasn't occupied by her hand. She placed a quick kiss on top of Piper's breast, before she bit gently on Piper's nipple, making the blonde moan loudly, "Oh Alex".
Alex smirked against her her, but before she could go any further, they heard Silas shout "THERAPIST". Even though the house was huge, Piper did moan loudly after all.
Alex quickly pulled back from the blonde, while Piper sat up, mumbling "Shit" as she pulled her shirt back on. Alex couldn't help but laugh, making Piper hit her. "It's not funny Alex" Piper warned but then starting laughing herself.
"It kind of is Pipes" Alex told her still laughing before she asked "How the hell did you have sex with Larry, without the kids knowing?" Then it hit her what she asked and quickly shook her head as she added "I can't believe I just asked that, but seriously Pipes, you aren't quiet."
Piper laughed as she pushed Alex back on the bed and straddled her waist, before she kissed her passionately and then whispered in her ear. "He never made me feel the way you do." Alex closed her eyes, as she took in a deep breath of air, while Piper moved to look Alex in the eyes, before she added "So I didn't have to worry about being loud, because I could never be loud with him, because he never made me feel good."
Alex nodded her head before she starting laughing again as she said "Well we won't be having sex when the kids are home."
Piper smirked as she teased "We have to do something with this ego of yours."

Morning came quickly for them, and Piper knew that Helena would be getting up early, because she always did on her birthday, because she knew that Piper would make her favorite, banana and chocolate chip pancakes. But when Piper rolled over to wake Alex, she noticed that she wasn't there. Piper quickly got out of bed and made her way downstairs, where she saw that Alex was in the kitchen. "What are you doing?" Piper asked as she walked in.
Alex walked over to Piper and kissed her good morning "Just making sure Helena's gift is all set." Alex told her before she kissed her again, and then they heard footsteps, and quickly broke apart.
Helena quickly came in the kitchen, with Miah behind her, and she quickly let her outside, and then walked over to her mother, who wrapped her in a hug. "Happy birthday darling"
"Thanks mom" Helena smiled as she hugged her mom back and then asked as she pulled back from the hug. "Pancakes right?"
Piper smiled "Of course"
As Piper got everything ready to make pancakes, Alex walked over to Helena. "Happy birthday" Alex told her with a smile as she handed her a wrapped box, with the script inside.
"Thanks Alex, you didn't have to give me anything" Helena told her, as Melanie and Silas walked into the kitchen, Silas of course not wanting to be up, but it was his sister's birthday after all.
"Well I wanted to give you something, so open it" Alex told her with a smile.
Helena sat down in the chair, as she unwrapped the box, and before she could open the box, Piper stopped what she was doing, and watched her daughter. "Okay you all are watching me, is something going to jump out or something?" Helena asked with a laugh.
"No" Alex chuckled.
"Right" Helena smirked as she opened the box, and saw a packet with a sticky note with "Happy birthday Helena" in Alex's hand writing. As she lifted the packet out of the box, her jaw dropped once she realized what it was, and she looked over at Alex.
"Happy birthday" Alex smiled "Now don't feel obli…" Alex started but Helena cut her off.
Helena quickly jumped out of the chair, and wrapped Alex in a tight hug "Yes, I would love to" Helena told her with a giant smile as she hugged her tightly. "Thank you Alex" Helena added while Piper couldn't help but smile as she watched her girlfriend and daughter.
Well there is chapter 15!
I hope you all enjoyed, and I hope I didn't offend anyone with the whole psychiatrist comments, and if I did, I didn't mean to, and I apologize.
And as we also found out in this chapter, things won't be getting hot and heavy with Alex and Piper when the kids are home.
Also I just had to throw in the 'X Files' because I am super excited that it's back!
So until next time, and don't forget to review, I love hearing from all of you!
