Chapter 3

Scott sits at a corner table in the Grille waiting for Alexis to come down to meet him. He saw Ned leave a while ago, but he decided against going up to check on Alexis. He knew she needed some time to deal with everything that had happened.

He looks up and smiles when he sees Alexis walking towards him, "I was starting to worry about you."

Alexis smiles weakly as she sits next to him, "I'm alright."

Scott takes her hand in his and he raises it to his mouth, gently kissing it, "Are you sure?"

She rests her head on his shoulder, "No, not really." He kisses her head. "I didn't want him to find out like that." She closes her eyes attempting to hold back the tears that threaten her eyes, "I didn't want to hurt him."

Scott wraps his arms around her, "Sweetheart, I know you didn't." He holds her tightly, letting her cry. Alexis slowly pulls away from him and wipes her eyes.

Ned stands outside watching Alexis and Scott through the window, his heart breaking. He was the one who was supposed to be comforting Alexis, not Scott. He was the one who should be holding Alexis at night and making love to her. She was his, not Scott's. They were supposed to be together forever. He closes his eyes and finally walks away.

Scott squeezes Alexis' hand, "You aren't up for eating are you?"

Alexis shakes her head, "No, I'm sorry."

He gently kisses her lips, "Let's go back up to your room. You can pack a few things and stay at the house this weekend. . .That is if you still want to."

Alexis smiles softly, "Of course I still want to." She looks down at her watch, "It's almost time to pick Serena up at school. Why don't you go ahead and get Serena and I'll pack my bags and meet you at your house."

Scott gently runs his finger over her lips, "Will you be okay alone?"

She smiles at his concern, "I'll be fine."

"Okay, I'll meet you at home in a little while." Scott stands to leave, but then stops and sits back down, "I almost forgot," he reaches into his pocket and pulls out his keys. He takes a key off the key ring and hands it to Alexis, who looks curiously at him. "It's a key to the house. I want you to have it."

Alexis bites her lip, "Scott, are you sure?"

Scott nods his head, "Lex, if I didn't want you to have it I wouldn't have given it to you. I know everything is happening really fast, but I love you and I want to be with you . . . more than anything in the world." Scott leans in and kisses her. "I'll see you in a little while."

Alexis is sitting at the kitchen table at the Firehouse going over a stack of files when Serena comes running into the room, "Lexi! Lexi!". She runs over to Alexis and hops onto her lap, throwing her arms around Alexis' neck.

Alexis kisses her cheek, "Hi, Baby! Did you have fun at school?"

Serena returns the kiss, kissing Alexis on the cheek, "Yeah, but I'm glad I'm home with you now!" Serena hugs Alexis again and then pulls back and looks at her, "Lexi, will you spend the night again?"

Alexis runs her hands through Serena's hair, "Would it bother you if I spent the night again?"

Serena laughs, "No way! I want you to spend the night." She looks at Alexis hopefully, "So will you spend the night?"

Alexis smiles, "Yes, I'll spend the night."

Serena throws her arms around Alexis again, "Yea!"

Scott walks in the room and smiles when he sees Alexis and Serena together. He walks up to Serena and kisses her forehead, "What are you so happy about?"

Serena flashes Scott a brilliant smile, "Daddy, Lexi's gonna spend the night!"

He smiles at Alexis, "Great! We'll have to do something very special."

Serena hops off Alexis' lap and Scott picks her up, "Cool! What are we gonna do?"

"I don't know, but we'll think of something." He kisses her cheek, "Now, would you please go upstairs and clean your room while Lexi and I go over a few more files?"

Serena looks at Scott and pouts, "Do I have to?"

Scott laughs, "Yes, you have to."

"Why? I wanna stay with Lexi," Serena whines.

He puts Serena down, "Because I told you to and you are going to be with Lexi all night. Now scoot."

Serena sticks her lip out again, "Fine." She grabs her backpack and drags it behind her as she walks up the stairs.

Alexis smiles, "You are so mean. She just wanted to stay with me."

Scott stands behind Alexis and he leans down to kiss her neck, "Well, I just wanted you to myself." His hand slowly moves from her shoulders down to her breast gently teasing her nipples.

Alexis leans her head back and she kisses Scott's lips, "So, what do you have planned for tonight?"

Scott walks around in front of Alexis and he pulls her from her chair. He leads her into the living room and he pushes her down onto the couch. He smiles seductively, "I'll give you a little hint." He leans down and kisses her passionately. His hand covers her breast, his thumb gently circling her nipple. Alexis moans softly and arches towards him. His hand moves from her breast to her thighs. He caresses the inside of her thigh, slowly moving upward.

"Scott, Serena's right upstairs," she says moaning softly.

"Don't worry. The way she comes bounding down the stairs we'll hear her coming," he says as his hand travels even higher. "We have plenty of time."

Alexis closes her eyes and slowly spreads her legs, begging him to touch her. Scott kisses her again as he slowly rubs her clitoris through her panties. He smiles against her lips when he feels how wet she already is, "I love how wet you get, Baby." Alexis moans and Scott's fingers find their way inside her panties. He slips his finger inside her, slowly thrusting in and out. Alexis' breath catches as she quickly begins to lose control. Scott slips another finger inside her and quickens the pace as she moves beneath him, rubbing against his hand. She bites her lip to keep from crying out, her orgasm pulsating through her entire body. Scott pulls his finger out of her. He covers her mouth with his and gently kisses her. Alexis grabs his arm and pulls him ontop of her. She wraps her legs around him as she kisses him passionately. She holds him against her tightly as she presses against him, frantic to have him inside her.

"I need you. . .," she says breathlessly as she continues to rub against his jean clad erection.

"Need me to what?," he asks teasingly as his hand kneads her firm breast.

She looks at him, her eyes clouded with desire, "To fuck me. Now! I have to feel you inside me."

Scott reaches between their bodies and quickly unbuttons and unzips his jeans. He enters her in one smooth thrust, moaning as he slides between her velvet walls. He thrusts deeply, reaching as far inside her as he can. They fight to remain quiet as their bodies buck and thrash against one another. A loud moan slips past Alexis' lips as her climax consumes her. Scott covers her mouth with his, muffling her moans. He slams into her hard, her pussy gripping his cock frantically as his strokes bring on another wave of pleasure. His tongue powerfully strokes hers and he groans into the kiss as his hot cum spills forth into her. He softly kisses her before he slowly pulls out of her.

A loud crash come from upstairs. Alexis quickly sits up, pushing Scott off of her. They both hurry to straighten their clothes. Scott grabs her hand and they both run upstairs. "Serena, what happened?," he asks, slightly out of breath from his and Alexis' lovemaking and the dash upstairs.

Serena laughs, "I just dropped my games Daddy."

Scott walks over to Serena and picks her up, "You scared me! I thought maybe you had fallen off the bed again."

Serena shakes her head and looks seriously at Scott, "I'm not gonna do that again, Daddy. I learned my lesson." Alexis looks on curiously and Serena explains, "When I was little I was jumping on my bed and I tried to do a flip. I fell off my bed and I broke my arm." She leans her head against Scott's chest, "It hurt really bad."

Alexis kisses Serena's head, "I'm sure it did, Sweetheart. You know when I was a little girl I broke my arm too."

"You did?", Serena leans forward and Alexis takes her from Scott.

She carries Serena over to the bed and sits down with Serena in her lap, "I sure did. I was riding horses with my brother and I fell off the horse."

Serena looks up at Alexis, "Were you scared?"

Alexis nods, "I was really scared, but my brother took care of me and he made made everything better."

Serena smiles at Scott, "Daddy took care of me and he made everything better, too. He made me feel all better."

Alexis brushed Serena's hair out of her eyes, "You know, I think you have a pretty special Dad."

Serena smiles at Alexis and then at Scott, "I do. He's the best Daddy in the whole world!"

Alexis smiles at Scott, "I think you're right."

Scott kneels down in front of Serena and Alexis. He pulls Serena into his arms, "I love you, Baby."

Serena wraps her arms around Scott's neck, "I love you too, Daddy."

Scott smiles at Alexis and he leans in to kisses her, "And I love you."

Alexis gently caresses his face, "I love you too."

Serena giggles as she looks on at her father and Alexis, "See, I told you he likes you!"

Scott looks at Alexis and smiles, "You knew I liked Lexi?"

Serena laughs at Scott, "It was so obvious, Daddy."

Scott sits next to Alexis, "Would you give us a few minutes?"

Alexis nods, "Sure."

She gets up to leave and Scott grabs her hands and pulls her down onto the bed. He gently kisses her lips, "Thank you." Alexis smiles at him and she leaves the room, shutting the door behind her. Scott motions for Serena to sit next to him.

"What's wrong Daddy?," she asks looking at Scott.

He pulls her onto his lap, "Nothing's wrong, Baby. I just wanted to talk to you about Lexi."

Serena grins, "I like Lexi a whole lot."

"I'm glad because I like Lexi a whole lot too."

Serena giggles, "You said you LOVE her."

Scott smiles and kisses her head, "I do love her."

She looks at him for a moment, "Daddy, are you and Lexi gonna get married?"

Scott wraps his arms around her, "Well, I don't know, Sweetheart. Maybe someday we will."

"I think you should marry her. She could be my mom," she rests her head against his chest. "Is it okay to want Lexi to be my mom?"

He closes his eyes, "Yeah, it's okay," he gently kisses her forehead. "You know, I wanted to ask you how you would feel about something." Serena looks up at her father. "I want to ask Lexi to move in with us."

"You mean she'd live here all the time?"

Scott smiles, "That's exactly what I mean. How would you like that?"

Serena throws her arms around Scott, "I would love, love, love that!"

"Calm down," he laughs as Serena hops off his lap and starts jumping up and down. "I haven't even asked her yet."

She grabs Scott's hand and pulls him off the bed, "Let's go ask her!"

Alexis looks up as Serena comes running into the living room, pulling Scott behind her. "Lexi, Daddy wants to ask you something!"

Alexis laughs as Serena climbs onto her lap, "Oh, really?"

She smiles at Alexis, "Yeah. It's something really, really important."

Scott takes Alexis' hand as he sits next to her and Serena on the couch, "I wanted to wait until later to ask you this, but Serena insisted I ask right now. Lexi, I love you. I know that I already gave you a key to the house, but I want more and I hope you do to." Alexis shifts nervously, unsure of what he is about to say. Scott laughs, "Relax. I'm not talking about marriage, Lex.. . at least not yet." He smiles and squeezes her hand, "I want you to move in with us."

Alexis looks at Scott and closes her eyes, "I . . . I don't know what to say."

"Say yes!," Serena says as she hugs Alexis.

She smiles at Serena, "Sweetheart, can you give me a minute alone with your father?"

Serena bites her lip and looks at Alexis, "Are you mad?"

Alexis hugs Serena tightly, "No, Baby, I'm not mad."

"Promise?," Serena whispers in her ear.

Alexis kisses her cheek, "I promise."

Serena hugs Alexis before she goes up to her bedroom. Alexis bites her lip and looks at Scott.

Scott shakes his head, "Maybe this wasn't a good idea. I'm not meaning to push you into anything."

Alexis places her finger over his lips, "Scott, you know I love you and Serena more than anything and I would love, LOVE to move in here . . . but do you really think it would be a good idea? I mean what about Serena?"

Scott touches her cheek, "You saw how she acted. She wants you to be here with her, with us." He closes his eyes and softly continues, "Lexi, she asked me if it was wrong for her to want you to be her mother."

"She wants me to be her mother?," she asks softly.

He nods, "That's exactly what she said."

Alexis reaches for his hand, "How do you feel about that?"

"I wish Serena had known Dominique. She's never had a real mother. . .she has Lucy, but it's not the same thing." He closes his eyes, "Last night when you were telling me that you've found something here with us. . .Serena and I have found that with you," he gently kisses her lips. "Lexi, I don't think Serena could pick a better mother than you." Scott reaches up and gently wipes a tear off Alexis' face. "I know this is overwhelming and I completely understand if you aren't ready for all of this."

"This is EXTREMELY overwhelming . . . and maybe I'm not ready for all of this, but I want to live with you and Serena." Alexis leans in and gently kisses him, "Just to let you know, I do want more."

Scott pulls Alexis to him and kisses her deeply, "I'm going to give you everything you've ever wanted."

Alexis smiles, "You and Serena are all I want."

He kisses her softly, "I love you, Lex."

Alexis kisses him back and whispers against his lips, "I love you too."

Scott reaches up and touches her cheek, "I'm sure Serena is dying to know what's going on down here." He smiles at her, "Why don't you go up and talk to her?"

She kisses him before she stands and leaves the room.

Serena is playing in her room when there is a knock on the door. She looks up from her dolls to see Alexis standing in the doorway, "Hi."

"Hi," Serena walks over to Alexis and wraps her arms around her, "Are you going to live with us?"

Alexis picks her up, walks over to the bed and sits down, "Yes, I am."

Serena kisses her, "I'm glad. I want you here all the time."

Alexis closes her eyes. She wants to ask Serena about what she said to Scott, but she's afraid to approach the subject. She decides to see if Serena will bring it up, "You do?"

Serena looks at Alexis seriously, "Lexi, I've never had a mom, but if I did I'd want her to be just like you."

Tears slowly find their way down Alexis' cheeks, "And if I had a daughter, I'd want her to be just like you."

Serena reaches up and gently wipes Alexis' tears, she wraps her arms around Alexis' neck and whispers in her ear, "I want you to be my mommy."

Alexis holds onto Serena tightly, "Darling, I would love that."

Serena slowly pulls out of the embrace and kisses Alexis on the cheek, "I love you, Lexi."

Alexis kisses her back, "I love you too, Serena."
