A/N: Over the course of the two weeks this story has been on this site I have gotten multiple questions so I'd like to take the time to answer those for you guys.

To the guest who asked about a collaboration perhaps being in the works…There is no collaboration scheduled at this moment in time. Perhaps later on down the line when I don't have a full schedule. Just know the idea has crossed my mind a few times.

A lot of people have asked me where I get my motivation to write such the broken Vauseman… The latest chapters I have written by blasting 'The 1975' and their new song 'Somebody Else'. The first couple of chapters I was super motivated to write so I didn't really need that extra motivation. I honestly had this idea to write a divorced Vauseman a few months ago, I just never had the time to sit and write.

As for the few people who have asked about my other fic that I wrote that has since been taken down… 'A New Start' has been deleted from my computer, documents manager on FF, and so forth. Essentially I'd have to do some major recovery or rewrite it and I'm not up for either. I had no more patience with that story, but if you stick around for this story to wrap up, it will end with the perfect domesticated Vauseman.

And last but not least, the few guests who have called this "shitty" or "a bad plot". Thank You. If I didn't get negative reviews I'd be worried because I know I'm not a best-selling author and my writing could use some improvements.

I'll continue to write this how I feel it should be written. (:

Without further ado…

How Do We Do This?

The way Piper's hips swayed slightly as she walked in front of Alex, was driving the brunette woman crazy. Piper's skin tight navy blue, strapless dress accentuated every curve of her body magnificently. Every time the blonde woman would seductively glance over her shoulder, Alex felt a pang of arousal shoot to her core. So badly Alex wanted to take her right there in that long, hotel corridor but Piper wasn't allowing Alex to touch her in any form or fashion. She had even made Alex stand on the opposite end of elevator while staring intently at the taller woman and occasionally looking her up and down. Their looks were pure carnal lust. Alex knew the game Piper was playing, but she wasn't going to have it. She had been away for three weeks and wouldn't be able to handle another two more without a proper dosage of her woman. Alex needed to feel Piper's touch.

Alex was at the height of her career and had just scored big in Dubai. Usually Piper accompanied her girlfriend on her international adventures but with Popi on the up and up, she couldn't leave Polly hanging for practically a month. There was no way they could be as successful as they aspired to be if she wasn't there to help.

The few days before Alex left for Dubai, Piper and Alex rarely came out of their bedroom in their New York penthouse apartment. When one came out for some reason, the other would follow soon behind and the pair would end up fucking on the nearest surface they could find. After being together for almost two years their sex life had been bizarre to both of them, but those few days proved bizarre to be an understatement. It was like the thought of Alex being away for a month was actually for several years and they had to get started making up for lost time together.

Alex had Piper flown out to Dubai after promising Polly she would pay for an all-expense paid trip to the spa. If Alex really had to, she could've went on for the next two weeks with the copious amounts of sexting and phone sex her and Piper had, but Alex was craving the blonde woman's touch. Her own wasn't doing it for her anymore. She yearned for Piper to take her to that place of ecstasy where no one had been able to take her before.

Once Piper had landed in Dubai, all she wanted to do was sleep. They had kissed briefly, too briefly for Alex's taste, before Piper took her hand and asked to be taken back to the hotel. None of the caressing or kissing along her neck that Alex was doing in the back of the cab was arousing Piper, it was actually slightly annoying her. All that aroused her mind at the moment was sleep.

The moment she stepped into Alex's hotel room, she left her shoes by the door, dropped her jeans at the foot of the bed, and crawled underneath the covers. Alex watched on in awe that her girlfriend wanted to sleep instead of satisfy Alex's needs. Letting the blonde woman sleep, Alex kissed Piper on her temple, and sat out on the balcony to finish replying to emails.

The moment Piper woke up and tried initiating sex, Alex denied because they had a business dinner to get to. This thoroughly disappointed Piper, but she couldn't help how exhausted she was after a thirteen hour flight by herself.

The whole dinner, Piper teased Alex under the table running the pads of her fingers up and down her inner thigh, sliding her dress up a little more with every pass. Never once did she come in contact with the spot Alex needed her the most.

After the pair had finally reached their hotel room door, Alex was fed up with the game Piper was trying to play and broke the no touching rule. She couldn't resist. As Piper tried to insert the key card into the slot, she found Alex's warm whispers in her ear and her soft hands caressing anywhere she could reach, very distracting.

"I've missed you."

Piper finally got the door to unlock and grabbed Alex's wrist that was trying to inch up her dress and pulled her inside. She had flown thirteen hours, sat next to a screaming baby, and didn't have her flying partner with her, she was going to get her time's worth with Alex while she was in Dubai.

The second the couple crossed the threshold into their room, Alex spun Piper around and their lips connected in seconds. Teeth were clashing, hair was being pulled, and their breathing was already labored.

Alex blindly reached around behind her to close their door and ran her hands down Piper's back feeling the way her shoulder blades tensed when she reached that particularly sensitive spot between them. The electricity running between them was intoxicating. It had been three weeks without the other's touch and their bodies were reacting as if they were touching for the first time.

Piper's hands were lost in Alex's long black tresses as she battled for dominance.

Once Alex's hands had reached Piper's zipper on the back of her dress, she moved her lips to the base of Piper's neck and lightly traced a trail upwards towards her ear with the tip of her tongue. She could feel Piper shudder and lightly moan at the sensation.

The blonde woman's dress fell to the floor in a heap revealing Piper wearing a white laced thong and no bra. Her nipples already taut and practically begging for Alex's attention. Alex licked her lips as she looked at the beauty in front of her.

Alex groaned in pleasure at the sight but was quickly attacked by Piper's lips upon hers. Quickly leaning down to run her hands over Piper's ass and to her thighs, Piper understood the motion and jumped wrapping her legs around Alex's torso. Never once did the pair's lips break until Alex gently laid Piper down on the king size bed. Piper automatically scooted herself upwards towards the head of the bed and watched Alex strip down to her matching red lace bra and boy shorts, blindly throwing her glasses towards the armchair in the corner of the room. There was nothing graceful and sexy about Alex's stripping. It was a furious race to remove all the barriers between her and Piper.

Alex stepped towards the bed and looked on at her girlfriend with a look of total desire.

The way her toned stomach was flexed as she rested upon her elbows.

The way her eyes sparkled in the moonlight shining from the deck.

The way her blonde hair fanned out over her shoulders and onto the pillow.

It was all enough for Alex to combust right there.

Alex slowly kneeled onto the bed as she stared at her girlfriend's hooded eyes. The blonde was still breathing heavily from their intense make out session and from the anticipation of what was to come next. She crawled painfully slow towards Piper and it was making the blonde woman reach for her as soon as she grew near.

The moment Alex laid her body on top of Piper's, her elbows holding her weight near Piper's shoulders, Piper gasped from the contact she had missed for three long weeks. Alex gave her a moment for the shock to fade and brushed her hair away from her face.

Piper smiled lovingly up at her girlfriend and reached up to place a short but tender kiss upon Alex's slightly swollen lips. Everything about the passionate moment they were sharing seemed to have slowed down.

"Hi." Alex whispered.

Grinning widely, Piper replied.

"Hi."

Alex buried her head in Piper's neck for a few moments, allowing for the pair to hold each other, before starting her descent south towards the place she longed for the most.

Piper was lying underneath Alex as the pair lay on the couch reminiscing on the times before they had been in this exact position. Alex's head was buried in Piper's neck as she willed herself away from those thoughts of her death potentially being any second. The two had discussed the mental state Alex was in, but Piper had a feeling that Kubra would leave them alone. Alex had always been slightly intimidated by the man, but Piper was determined to keep Alex's head worry free.

All the brunette woman wanted was to be close to Piper. She didn't care about intimacy, just being close to the younger woman. Besides her mother's touch, Piper was the only one who could calm her instantly with a simple touch.

Sensing Piper's train of thought, Alex asked what she was thinking about.

The blonde woman chuckled.

"How we laid like this in Dubai. You hadn't seen me in three weeks so you spontaneously flew me out there not caring what Polly thought. We laid in this position for not even two seconds before you had to keep on with your mission."

Piper could feel Alex grin into her neck as she thought about that particular trip.

"I missed you. And we had some incredible sex those four days you were there. You can't deny that."

Alex raised up onto her elbows as she peered down into her ex-wife's eyes. There were tiny bags under her eyes and they were slightly bloodshot, but she still looked beautiful in her eyes. She was still glowing like she was those ten years ago she met her in that bar.

Piper blushed and turned her head to the side as she laughed.

God how Alex loved her laugh. She could listen to Piper's laugh all day and not get tired of it. It was so genuine and the way her nose crinkled when she did it, made Alex's heart swoon.

"It was, it was. But don't get your hopes up Vause. I think we need to straighten things out first and see how this is going to work." Piper paused, exhaling loudly for the conversation that was about to show its ugly head. "Things have to be different this time Alex."

Now Piper was looking at Alex with all seriousness. Her eyes were wide as they searched Alex's and her hands had moved to keep Alex's head trained directly in front of hers. There wasn't time to be shy and quiet, they needed to get all of their cards out onto the table so they could start over.

Alex whispered, "I know."

"I need to know if you're willing to try this time. Be there for Parker and I full time."

The moment Piper mentioned her son, tears welled up in her eyes. Her heart broke for the little boy, he rarely saw his mother and she knew he longed for her.

"I've missed so much of his life. I wasn't even there for his birth. "

Alex's voice was a mere whisper, threatening to break out into a sob.

Piper ran her thumb across Alex's cheek as she held on for dear life.

"We can't fix that, babe. Was I pissed? Yeah, I was. But now." Piper paused as she wiped a tear that had escaped from the corner of Alex's eye. "Now you CAN be there. We can be a family again. But only if you're willing to commit to it full time. I don't think I could handle this again, Alex."

"I am. I beat myself up so fucking much this past year because I was so oblivious to the destruction I was causing. I was too caught up in work to even think about asking if you were okay. The whole time I was sitting in Kubra's apartment yesterday, all I could think about was you guys and that I would never see you again. Both of you are my everything and I don't know how I seemed to have forgotten that."

Alex had a steady stream of tears rolling down her face. The guilt she was feeling was plastered on her face.

Piper nodded encouraging Alex to go on.

"That night you threw your ring at me, I should've known what you were going to say. I was being too damn selfish to even consider your feelings. I could've done this a year ago and we would've never had to stand before that judge."

"There's a reason for everything. It fucking KILLED me to have to file for divorce, but Alex, nothing was working. Nothing caught your attention. The fights were becoming routine almost when you were home and if I never would have taken action, just think about where would be now."

Alex shook her head willing the thoughts that had flashed in her mind to go away. Piper was thoroughly surprised that Alex hadn't got up from her position on top of her to find a way to rebuild that wall they had just broken through. Too many times before when Alex had to face reality, she quickly found a way around it. Shoving it to the back of her mind, hoping to forget about it.

"I'm sorry. If I could take all of it back, I would. You didn't deserve any of what I put you through. You needed me, and Parker needed me, but I failed to be there."

"You weren't ready or willing to face this head on. We might think this year has only caused us damage, but if we really try hard we could find some positives."

Alex nodded her head.

"There was never once over this past year that I didn't think about you and Parker. Constantly I would try to find something to distract myself or fill that gaping hole in my heart, but I couldn't. The only thing that could fill it was you two."

Piper smiled at the previous statement.

"I never stopped thinking about you either. We can do this Alex. I know we can. So what do you say hmm? Give us another shot?"

Alex gazed down into Piper's blue orbs, of course she would give them another shot. Piper was and always will be her soulmate. She couldn't deny it no matter how hard she tried.

"Yeah." Alex grinned. "I one hundred percent want to give this another shot."

Within a split second of Alex's decision, Piper craned her head upwards to lightly kiss Alex on the lips. Alex responded back with a few little pecks. Not wanting to rush into things, the couple smiled at each other. They knew they would be okay, they just knew it.

Throughout the afternoon, the two women sorted out that Alex was going to stay at her apartment for a few more months while they continued to rebuild their relationship and would move back in to their house when Alex felt ready. Piper had insisted Alex could move back in straight away but she didn't want to rush things. She liked the pace they were going and if the couple was patient they would get to where they wanted to be. The pair also decided that they would only take Parker to daycare two days out of the week so he still built up his social skills, and the other days Alex would drive to their house and watch him. Parker would be thrilled to know that his mama would be spending a lot more time with him.

When Piper and Alex picked up Parker from daycare, the toddler was ecstatic to see his mama there. He ran as fast his little legs would allow him and jumped into Alex's waiting arms.

"Hi, buddy."

Alex clutched the boy close to her as she breathed in the sweet scent on top of his head.

Piper watched on in awe as she felt her heat beat a little bit faster. She knew they still had a ways to go to get back to that perfect life they had when Alex was home, but she had a strong suspicion that this time would be even better. Alex had confessed her wrongs and vowed to be a better wife and mother this time and Piper had no doubts in her mind that Alex would falter.

A/N: I'm sorry this is so short, but life is throwing boulders at me right now.
