A/N Hi guys! Thank you so much for all the great reviews! They are truly inspiring. I didn't plan out the story line so, I am just trying to have it play out correctly. I have a new idea for a story, same hospital setting but roles reversed and they already know each other. I think I might start it soon. Maybe actually plan it out :p. The song that Alex is singing in this chapter was J Holiday's - Bed. I was listening to it while writing and couldn't help but stick it in there. I actually like hip-hop type things but I knew Alex's character really doesn't identify with that music so it was kind of just random that she heard the song while driving. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this chapter and ill update again probably Thursday night if I get some more great feedback. Sorry if there are any errors or bad grammar, I write these chapters in the middle of the night, due to me being a night owl and working late shifts. I get tired :p...I am sort of avoiding writing the smut because I have never wrote it before so im nervous but it will come! (No pun intended lol) Okay enough of me, here is the chapter! Enjoy and Review! - Courtney

PS: I obviously do not own the characters or songs mentioned in these chapters. So just a disclaimer.

"Well you are the one, the one that lies close to me
Whispers "Hello, I've missed you quite terribly"
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms"- Here in your arms, HelloGoodbye

Alex returned to the hospital later in the afternoon. For the first time in months, she was actually early for her nightly shift; her mind was filled with relief and excitement. Alex felt a wave of nervousness wash through her with every step, closer to Piper. Alex tossed on her long white coat and got to Piper's room as quickly as she could. Alex stepped through the half opened curtain, and let out a sigh when she saw Polly sitting with Piper. Alex wanted to kiss and hug Piper, but didn't want to get in any more trouble. She knew Polly would never say anything but Alex still felt odd about any sort of non-professional conversation or affection after the whole ordeal with Piper's asshole of an ex.

Piper glanced up, mid-sentence and immediately stopped talking. As her eyes took in the tall woman standing before her bed, she couldn't help but bite her bottom lip, admiring how good Alex looked in scrubs and a doctor's coat. Piper's heart felt like it was going to explode and her stomach was full of butterflies.

When Polly cleared her throat, waiting for Piper to continue her train of thought, Piper blushed and a huge grin spread across her face. Polly glanced at the doctor and smiled politely. She looked back at Piper who was ogling over the tall brunette and rolled her eyes playfully.

"Okay Pipes, we'll continue later when I come check on you… Ill, uh, knock before I come in though." Polly winked at her as she stood up to give Alex some privacy with her patient. Alex nodded thankfully at Polly as she passed. Polly had earned an imaginary promotion in Alex's mind, which consisted of not having chart duty as a repercussion any longer. She figured Polly would be grateful.

"Hi there." Piper breathed. Her grin didn't falter in the least bit. She wanted to jump up and hug Alex but figured it probably wouldn't be the best idea. Alex turned around to make sure Polly closed the curtain after leaving. She smiled quickly and made her way to Piper.

Alex let out a small laugh as she reached two long hands out to cup Piper's face. Piper inhaled Alex's scent and smiled. Alex let out another small laugh and Piper shot her a confused look.

"Something funny, Doctor?" Piper said playfully and she enjoyed the warmth of Alex's hands on her cheeks.

"I was remembering a song, I heard it on the way here, and I was only flipping through channels, trying to keep my mind busy and when I heard the words, God… I can't even begin to tell you how relevant they were. I don't even like hip/hop or rap but this… this said it all." Alex bit her lip lightly and smiled at Piper.

"Care to share the lyrics?" Piper mused, raising an eyebrow to the beautiful doctor.

"I can't be sure, but they said something along the lines of…" Alex paused to remember where the words started that she liked.

"I wanna put my fingers through your hair, wrap me up in your legs and love you until your eyes roll back, I wanna put you to bed… touching you like it's our first time..." Alex knew she wasn't exactly correct with the lyrics but she had the words she needed. She wanted to make Piper understand what she was thinking. Alex spoke the lyrics in her most sexy, seductive and husky voice.

Piper's cheeks turned a bright red and she leaned in to give Alex a deep, passionate kiss. Piper wanted more than anything to take Alex up on her offer. She felt her panties beginning to soak. Alex's tongue brushed against Piper's lips. Piper let out a small moan and clutched Alex closer. Alex let one of her hands roam down Piper's body, feeling every inch of the eager woman on the way down to her thighs. Piper groaned and pulled back from the kiss reluctantly.

"Alex, as much as that just turned me on, I only have one more day in here" She frowned at the uncomfortable bed and ugly décor in her room. "And if I am going to be experiencing…you… I would prefer to be in your bed… or mine." Piper glanced down, she wasn't sure if Alex wanted to continue to see her after she got out. She knew she didn't want to make love to Alex in a hospital bed. At least not for their first time together.

Alex thought about her request for a moment, and much to Piper's surprise, she nodded and smiled. "Fair enough, but, one condition, since you are such a tease…" Alex trailed off, kissing Piper's neck again, wanting to be in between her, thighs that were now very wet. Alex knew that she was the one instigating but Piper clearly wanted the same thing, just not in the gross hospital setting. She couldn't blame Piper but was disappointed that she had to wait even longer to ravage the beautiful blonde. Piper tilted her head back, closed her eyes and tried to concentrate. She had to convince herself to not let Alex take her right then and there.

"U-u-mm, w-what might that be Doctor Vause" Piper tried not to sound turned on, but was failing miserably. Her tone made Alex move more passionately; kissing right under ear which made Piper let another small noise escape from her lips.

"Let me discharge you tomorrow morning when my shift ends, and I'll drive you back to my place and... well I think you know what I would like to do to you Ms. Chapman…" Alex moved her way down to her collar bone in between words. She nibbled at the sensitive skin softly, making Piper shiver and start to squirm, losing control. Piper was about two kisses away from saying fuck it and making love to Alex right there. Alex's voice alone could get Piper moist, but the kissing was bringing Piper to a near orgasm. She had never thought it was possible to be so turned on by such little contact. She had never felt that way with Larry, not even on their best day. Alex sensed her losing control and pulled back. She wanted to respect Piper's wishes and was pleased to know Piper wanted to come back to her place or maybe even go back to Piper's apartment.

"Absolutely" Piper let out a sigh of frustration and relief. She wanted Alex to give her release but really wanted it to be somewhere other than the pale yellow room that she had been confined to for days. Piper was feeling better but still had a small amount of pain in her wrist. She couldn't walk yet but the doctor said she could try in a week or two. Piper leaned her head back on the pillow and let her rapid heart and breathing slow down. Piper remembered Alex saying she would take her back to her apartment and Piper smiled brightly. Alex was sitting in the chair Polly had been in, facing Piper. She stared at the blonde haired beauty in amazement. Piper was beyond beautiful and her temper and passion made her absolutely irresistible to Alex.

"I should go check on my other patients, who knew that they would actually need a doctor right?" Alex joked but didn't move from her seat. She could spend the entire day just watching Piper, without any words and she would be happier than anything.

"Well, you are quite the doctor" Piper winked at her seductively. "But, don't give any other patients the treatment I got" Piper smiled at Alex, who started to rise out of her seat.

"I reserve my best for you, and only you." Alex winked at Piper before kissing her lips. The kiss lingered longer than Piper had expected. She involuntarily raised a hand to Alex's dark hair, running her fingers through the silky straight hair.

"Oops, sorry" Piper smiled as Alex pulled back with an amused expression on her face. One perfect eyebrow was raised at Piper.

"Don't be, I enjoyed that, probably more than I ever should." Alex took Piper's hand in her own and kissed it softly. "When I come back in a little while, we can go for a short walk, have you been in this bed all day?" Alex's tone turned to professional, and protective. She had a worried look spilled across her face. She wanted Piper to be safe and healthy.

"Yeah, I was catching up on some sleep and, well I spent most of the morning damning myself along with Larry to hell. When Polly told me the news, I practically died of relief. I really could use a stretch though, and maybe some food." She started to ramble. Alex cut her off by kissing her lips quickly which left Piper speechless. Alex really did want to talk to Piper, as much as possible, but she did have other patients to attend to.

"When I come back, you can tell me all about it, alright?" Alex smiled and turned to leave the room. "Don't miss me too much while I'm gone… actually, do. Please do miss me too much." Alex winked at Piper before exiting her room

"You are all I think about, and I already miss you!" Piper said quietly to herself.

Alex was barely passed the curtain when she heard Piper comment. She smiled to herself as her heart soared. She felt butterflies building up in her stomach as she walked away from the room

"Me too kid..." Alex replied softly to herself. Alex went to go find Nicky and check on her other patients.
