Authors Note: Hey everyone! I would first like to start with the biggest apology ever! I am so sorry I haven't updated in a while, I have been super busy, and every time I found the time to actual sit down and write, I would only be able to write a little bit at a time, before something else came up. But today (Feb 16) is my birthday, and I decided what would be the best present, but to actual share my birthday with you, so my birthday gift to myself, is this next chapter for all of you. I want to thank you all for all the wonderful reviews, the follows, favs, and of course reading. Also a big hello to all the new readers!

So I won't keep you from reading, since I have kept you all waiting for this next chapter. I hope you all enjoy, and once again I do not own any of these characters.

The drive to the airport didn't take long, and their bags were quickly loaded on to the jet, and before they knew it they were taking off. Once they were in the air, Alex and Piper both walked back toward the bed room area, and went back to sleep. And before they knew it, they were landing in New York City. Just like back in Los Angeles, it didn't take long for their bags to put in the back of Alex's car that was waiting there, and Alex and Piper quickly said goodbye to staff, and then got into Alex's car. "So my place or yours?" Alex asked jokingly.

"Obviously your place" Piper smiled, as Alex put the car in gear, and headed for her apartment.

The drive to Alex's place was a short one, as Alex called Jodi to let her and the kids know that she and Piper arrived safely. And once they arrived Alex grabbed both of their bags, before heading up to her place. "Home sweet home" Alex smiled as she opened her door, and Piper stepped inside smiling.

Piper watched as Alex bought their bags into the bedroom, and then joined the blonde in the living room, who was standing in front of her picture window, looking out onto New York City's busy street. "You seem to enjoy my window" Alex smirked as she remembered that the blonde looked out that same window last time she was in her place.

"It reminds me of my old apartment" Piper told her with a smile as she turned around to face Alex, she remained silent for a few minutes before she announced "I am going to go and see Larry."

"Excuse me what?" Alex asked with wide eyes and before she could say anything else, Piper spoke again.

"I am going to talk to him, I don't want to wait Alex, this isn't something to postpone." Piper told her in a voice that she normally used with her children, when the conversation wasn't up for debate.

Alex sighed as she nodded her head before she asked "Then can I at least go with you?"

Piper nodded her as she told her "If you want"

"I would like to, but can I please take a quick shower really quick?" Alex asked and Piper nodded her head. "Good, then make yourself at home, and I won't be long." Alex added before she placed a quick kiss to Piper's lips, and then disappeared into her bedroom, closing the door slightly behind her.

After Alex shut the bedroom door slightly, she walked into her walk in closet, walking into the far back, and moved some of the clothes out of the way. But before she grabbed the metal box, she looked over her shoulder, making sure that Piper hadn't snuck up behind her, without her knowing. Once she confirmed she was alone, she grabbed the metal box, and put in her combo, unlocking the box. As she opened the box, she made sure everything was in order, praying she wouldn't need it, but you never know what could happen. After she made sure everything was there, she closed the metal box, relocking it, and then grabbed a new set of clothes, before she went to take her shower.

Once Piper heard the water go on for the shower, she took out her phone, and sent a text "Where are you?" Five minutes passed, and Piper still hadn't received an answer, as she quickly shook her head, and rolled her eyes. "Typical" Piper mumbled under her breath, before she searched Alex's kitchen for a piece of paper and a pen. She quickly scribbled a note, and then left the apartment and drove to the one place she knew Larry would be, since he wasn't at work.

XXXX

Not even a ten minutes had passed since Piper left, that Alex was turning off the water to her shower. She quickly threw on her clothes, towel drying her hair, not even bothering to do anything with it, and then put her shoes on, before she reopened her bedroom door, then walking back to her living room. "Piper?" Alex asked as she walking into the living room, noticing that the blonde was no where to be found. She walked into her kitchen, again noticing it be empty, and just before she was about to call out Piper's name again, she spotted a piece of paper on her counter. Quickly she grabbed the note, and read it before she yelled "MOTHERFUCKER" slamming her fists down on the counter.

Meanwhile, Piper was just getting out an Uber car, and walking to her garage, where she pressed in a code, and then watched the garage door go up. But Piper didn't wait for the door to go completely up, once there was enough space, she ducked under the door, and walked inside her garage before she walked inside her house. "LARRY"

When she received no answer, she walked in the direction of Larry's home office, and threw up the door. "What the fuck you can't answer my text?" Piper shouted once she saw Larry was sitting there in his chair slamming the door behind her. "Or me call your name, when I entered the house?"

Larry looked over at Piper, shocked to see her standing there before he asked "What are you doing here?" before he added with a hint of disgust in his voice "Shouldn't you be with Alex."

Piper took a deep breath as she walked over to Larry and stood in front of his desk. "You listen to me Larry, and you listen to me well, because I am only saying this once. You will not get custody of my kids, you will not turn them against me, and you will not destroy their lives. You will leave me and my family alone." Piper told him a stern voice, as she watched her soon to be ex husband shake his head. "And I want a divorce, in case that part wasn't clear." Piper added with a slight smirk, that only made Larry's blood boil even more.

Larry let out a slight chuckle at Piper's little speech as he stood up from his chair, looking Piper dead in the eye before she told her. "We will see about that, but they are my kids too." Piper quickly laughed at his comment, making Larry give her a confused look. "What the fuck is so funny?" Larry asked.

"You" Piper quickly told him with a smile before she added "You don't even act like you are their father, you don't support them in anyway, and what father talks to their son the way you did the other day?" But before Larry could even say anything, Piper added what she knew would make Larry's blood boil more than it ever had before. "Oh and by the way the kids aren't yours."

Larry stood there for a few seconds, as the words registered in his mind, what his wife had just told him, before he felt the rage take over him. He quickly walked around his desk, grabbing Piper by the arms, "What do you mean they aren't mine?" Larry asked in a dark voice, one Piper had never heard him use before.

Piper looked him deep in the eyes, and she watched them grow darker with every second that passed before she smirked "You couldn't get me pregnant, I slept with someone else. I cheated on you, you fucking asshole."

XXXXX

Meanwhile across town, Alex had just walked out of her closet once more, but this time she didn't leave empty handed. And then quickly left her apartment, heading to her car, where she quickly got inside, and in that moment she didn't care about a ticket or anything else, the main thing on her mind, was getting to Piper. She was thankful in that moment, that Piper was nice enough to mention in the note where she was going, and quickly drove there.

As Alex was driving to Piper, Larry was getting angrier by the second. "So don't think for a second, you will get custody of my kids" Piper told him through gritted teeth, and in that very second, pushed her backwards, making Piper fall backwards, but before she could even know what happened, and stop the fall, she fell to the ground.

"You fucking bitch" Larry yelled "You think you will get away with this? Lying to me all these years, lying to the kids. How do you think they are going to react?" Larry shouted at her, and then kicked her, when he saw she was trying to stand up, knocking her back to the ground. "The kids will want nothing to do with you once they find out." Larry added as he grabbed Piper off the ground, before he threw her up against the wall.

As Larry was too busy yelling at Piper, he didn't hear the tires screeching outside in his driveway. Alex couldn't believe how fast she had made it to Piper, but to be honest she went through a couple stop signs, and stop lights. But none of that mattered now, because her main goal was to get to Piper in time, before Larry could do anything to her. Because Alex knew Piper shouldn't had gone to talk to Larry alone, because who knew what Larry was up to, but she knew that he was a capable of anything at this point. Quickly opening her driver side door, she got out of the car, and tucked her gun, she hoped she wouldn't have to use, into the backside of her jeans, and pulled her shirt over it, before she walked into the garage and then into the house.

Once Alex walked inside the house, she could hear the shouting, and then sounded like glass shattering, she quickly ran toward where the yelling was coming from, and then threw the door open. The sight in front of her when she threw open the door, made the older woman quickly grab her gun, cocking it, and aimed it at Larry. "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER NOW!" Alex shouted once as she saw Larry had Piper pinned against the wall, with a sharp piece of glass held to her throat.

"Oh look your knight and shinning armor is here to save you" Larry laughed as he pressed the piece of glass harder to her throat.

Piper looked away from Larry and over to Alex who was walking slowly toward them with the gun raised. Piper felt the tears fill in her eyes, because in that very moment she had no idea what was going to happen, and she didn't care about herself in that moment, she was more concerned on what was going to happen to Alex.

Luck must have really been on Alex's side, because she made it completely over to Piper and Larry, without Larry noticing and pressed the gun to the back of his head. "I told you to get the fuck away from her, don't make me tell you again" Alex warned.

But Larry did the complete opposite, he instead starting to cut the skin on Piper's neck, making Piper yelp in pain, as the tears fell from her eyes. Alex knew that she couldn't shoot Larry, without having the bullet hurt Piper too. So instead, she grabbed Larry's arm, yanking it back quickly before he could hurt the blonde anymore, and then drop kicked him to the floor. "Get out of here" She shouted at Piper, before she once again aimed her gun to the man lying on the floor.

Piper quickly listened to Alex, as she walked past them, but before she could get completely away, Larry grabbed her by the leg, making her fall flat on the floor, and with the piece of glass still in his hand, he quickly dragged it down her leg, making the blood quick pool out, and Piper yelp scream in pain. "You fucking asshole" Alex shouted, no longer able to control the rage that was building inside her, as she pulled the trigger of her gun.

The room quickly filled with a loud bang, one after another, as she fired three bullets into Larry, wanting to empty the whole clip into him, but as if Piper could read her girlfriend's mind, she quickly shouted "ALEX STOP".

So there we go, there is chapter 18! I can't believe we are already there! So a lot of things happened in this chapter.

Did Alex overreact?

What was Piper thinking going to see Larry by herself?

Is Larry dead or alive?

All this and more in the next chapter.

Once again I want to apologize again for the giant delay in this chapter, and I hope this chapter made up for it.

Also how happy are all of us for three more seasons of Orange is the New Black? YAY THANK YOU NETFLIX!
