The Reign Of Vause

Pipes

(Alex's POV)

Piper had gotten the all clear from our IVF doctor about her bloods and we ended up choosing the donor that I liked so we'd hopefully be getting a mini Piper soon.
We had been so happy until Piper took a pregnancy test, then another one and another one. They all came out negative. I was upset about it but was coping, Piper however, was distraught.
I had work to finish at Viper so before I went out, I made sure that Piper wasn't suicidal or anything, fine she wasn't pregnant but like fuck was I losing her.
"Pipes I promise I'll go as fast as I can. Are you sure you're going to be okay?" I ask her, worried.
"Okay and no I'm not okay Alex. I'm really not okay." She replied, starting to sob.
Shit. I guess that was a pretty stupid question.
I immediately held her in an embrace and let her cry it out on my shoulder.
"Alex I'm sorry." She sniffled.
I rubbed my hand up and down her back and buried my face in her neck, inhaling her scent, trying to reassure her.
"Ssssh babe it's okay. Everything is going to be okay. The doctor said it may not happen after the first couple of tries. We can always try again." I calmly tell her, doing my best to make her feel better. I hated it when Piper was upset.
She squirmed out of my embrace and sob yelled at me.
"What's the fucking point of trying again?! I'm fucking useless! You might as well divorce me if you want a family! I'm so sorry Al!" She broke down and ran into the bathroom, shutting the door behind her.
It was breaking my heart seeing her like this.
I immediately ran after her. Luckily she hadn't locked the door. I opened it and found her sitting on the floor of our walk in rain shower, the water running, she was fully clothed.
Not caring in the slightest that I was also fully clothed, I took my glasses off, sank beside her and held her as she cried on my shoulder.
"Piper Elizabeth Chapman Vause. I love you more than life itself. If you EVER mention me divorcing you again there'll be hell to pay. You are not useless, you're my Mrs Vause and I would love you even if you really were useless. We can try again Pipes. I'll even do it this time if that's what you want. I love you babe. So much. Now come here." I told her and pulled her even closer to me.
She sniffled and looked up at me.
"What did I do to deserve you?" She asked.
I kissed the top of her head.
"I've told you before that that's my question." I told her.
"I love you so much too Al but you don't have to do that. I guess it is only the first try. Maybe we could try for a mini Alex this time?" She asked, calming down but still sniffling.
I chuckled,
"Maybe a mini me would be great. Two of us to love you."
She smiled at this and I kissed her on her head again.
Immediately after this, my cell phone rang from the living room.
I gently grabbed Piper's face between my hands, kissed her on the lips, removed all of my clothes, even my underwear since they were now wet because of the shower and went to go answer the phone.
"If you were trying to cheer me up you should've just done that in the first place Al." Piper laughed while she sniffled, getting up from the shower and taking her own clothes off, going to our bedroom to wrap herself in a robe.
I winked at her from over my shoulder,
"Oh don't worry, I promise to explore every avenue when it comes to cheering you up."
She flashed me a small, sad, cheered up looking smirk,
"Every avenue?"
I chuckled in response,
"Oh yes, every avenue."
I then went out of our bathroom to answer my cell phone in our living room. It was Nicky.
"Vause, it's hell down here! We need the boss! Or bosses!" She yelled down the phone over the blaring music.
"Nicky, Piper's pretty fucking distraught about not getting pregnant and needs me here, can you not just get Taystee, Boo and Blanca to help you guys on the bar?" I asked her, desperate to be able to stay with Piper. I figured while she was in this mood, an environment filled with booze and gambling wasn't the best.
"Aw shit, I'm sorry man, but who'll cover the casino then?" Nicky asked in response.
I rolled my eyes in frustration and sighed.
"Fine." And hung up, throwing my phone on one of our couches.
I turned around and my jaw dropped.
Piper was naked and sexily leaning on the wall of the short corridor that led to our bedroom. Why did she always pick the times to look irresistible when I couldn't have her?!
"Want to make good on your promise? Your wife needs to be cheered up Mrs Alex Vause." She asked in a sultry voice.
My mouth was watering and I knew it.
I literally growled in frustration.
"Uuuugh Pipes, believe me, I'D LOVE TO but apparently I'm needed at the club." I groaned.
Her eyes fell to the floor and she sadly said,
"Oh okay. I'll see you in the morning I guess."
It broke my heart. She had been upset enough today.
I practically ran to her and caught her, turning her around in my arms and deeply kissed her.
She melted in my arms then broke the kiss.
"Or I could come with you?" She hopefully asked.
I looked up at the ceiling, knowing she was giving me her bambi eyes I could never ever resist. She was still firmly wrapped in my arms though.
"Pipes, is that such a good idea? I know what you're like when you're upset and there's booze around." I tried.
"Please Al." She begged and I made the mistake of looking down. She had her big, blue, bambi eyes staring straight into mine and I smirked, defeated.
"Fine babe, let's go get dressed. This is only to make you feel better though."
She grinned and grabbed my hand, dragging me into our bedroom.
"Have I ever told you how much I love you?" She smiled.
"Have I?" I returned her question, smirking.
