Author's Note: I'm sorry if this isn't very good.  It's my first fan fiction. J

This is set before the end of season 3… I don't want to have to deal with the finale. 

"Good morning!" Piper said cheerfully to Leo. 

"Mmmmm." Leo grunted. 

"My aren't we verbal!  Why don't we go downstairs and make breakfast for Prue and Phoebe?"

"Piper, it's 6 o'clock, don't you ever sleep?"

"No, come on," Piper said as she pulled the sheets off Leo.

"Okay, I'm coming!" said Leo.  Piper, now satisfied, walked downstairs where she began to take out the ingredients for omelets.  Leo, smelling the wonderful scent, dragged himself out of bed to join Piper.

"I knew you couldn't resist my omelets in the morning." Piper said smiling.  Leo grinned back and kissed her.  Soon Prue came bouncing down the stairs.  "Good morning, family!"

"Ummm, good morning.  Why are you so happy?" Piper asked.

"Why shouldn't I be?  It's a beautiful Saturday morning."

"Oh, good reason.  Do you want an omelet?"

"Yes, please!"  Prue loved Piper's omelets; in fact she liked everything Piper cooked.

"Okay, is Phoebe up?"

"No, Piper, it's Saturday.  Don't expect her until 2."

"Yes, but Finals are next week.  I know she's been trying to get up early to study."

"Oh okay, but I still don't think…" Prue was interrupted by Phoebe's loud, dramatic yawn.

"Phoebe!" Prue and Piper said in unison.

"It's only 6:45…shouldn't you be sleeping?" asked Piper, truly concerned.  Leo was smiling.  He had been smiling the whole time.

"It's the omelets.  They're very, um, awakening."

"Is that a compliment?" asked Piper.

"Of course, sis!  So, what are you guys doing today?"

"Leo and I are going to the club.  I have some stuff to do there since Uncle Cracker is coming on Monday."

"I have nothing to do!" said Prue.

"Great!  Prue, do you want to come have lunch with me today.  I wish we could spend more time together but I have a lot of studying to do."

"Yeah, sure."

------------- Later that day -------------

 Piper and Leo are at the club.  Piper is paying bills and Leo is just kind of sitting there watching, you know he likes doing that.

"I swear, the price of napkins is getting higher and higher each week."  Piper sighed.

"Have you ever thought that you are just buying more of them?"

"Why are you always right?"  Piper looked up at him.

"It's in my nature." Leo smiled and lightly kissed her.

"I don't feel like doing any more.  Let's go home now."

"Okay."  Leo and Piper headed out to Piper's jeep and they drove home.

------------ At home ------------

Piper and Leo walked through the front door of the manor.

"We're home!" Piper called.

"In here!" yelled Phoebe from the living room.

Piper and Leo followed the sound and Piper sat next to Phoebe on the couch, while Leo sat in a chair opposite.

"Still studying?" asked Piper.

"Yep, I just can't seem to get this crap.  It's really confusing."

Piper laughed and put her arm around her younger sister.  "You'll get it, you'll get it."

Just as Piper said this Phoebe was thrown into a premonition.  A warlock or demon, with a dark face shooting lightning at Piper's stomach and sucking something out.  Phoebe gasped as she came out of her momentary trance.

"What did you see?" Concern was evident on Piper's face.  Leo, too, looked concerned.

"I saw some demon, warlock, evil witch, and evil being of some kind, sucking something out of your stomach.  But I could tell it was some time in the future."

"Okay, that's gross, but why my stomach?" Piper asked.

"You're not…"

"No!" Piper cut her off.  "I think I would know if I were pregnant by now."

"Then why would he be sucking something out of your stomach?"

"I don't know let's look in the book of Shadows."  Piper made a mental note to herself to go to the doctor's tomorrow to make sure she was right.  They all headed upstairs to the attic.

"Where's Prue?" Leo asked.

"I don't know, should we call her?" Phoebe responded.

"No, not if you said it wasn't an immediate threat." Piper said as she flipped through the book.  "So, Phoebe, what would you describe it as?"

"Ummm, very, very dark. I'm pretty sure it was a demon because it had these little devil horn thingies."  Phoebe used her fingers to show what she meant and Piper laughed and continued searching.  A moment later she said, "Ooh, is this it?"

Phoebe hurried to the book.  "Yes, that's definitely it."

"Let's see.  Its name is Torment, that's original.  Its main purpose is to suck the early life of infants out of witches before they are born.  So this means…"

"Yes, keep reading."

"Once it has done this it kills the witch and sucks the life of the baby and by doing this gains its power(s).  Well ain't that nice."

"Is there a vanquishing spell?" Leo asked.

"Yes, but once it has taken the fetus there is a 5 minute time frame before she is killed in which the witch cannot do anything including perform the spell, meaning she must say the spell while he is taking the fetus.  This is beginning to sound dangerous.  I can't believe I'm pregnant."  Piper glanced at Leo and wasn't sure what to make of his facial expressions.

He looked up.  "I'm going to see what I can find out."  He orbed out.

Piper wasn't sure why he wasn't happy.  He had always wanted a child.  She didn't realize he knew something she didn't.
