Prologe
As Leo layed in his bed the smell of pancakes filled the room. Suddenly he felt a weight jumping on his bed.
"Daddy wake up." Lily said as she jumped on the bed.
"Hey munchikin Im up." Leo said as he sat down and pulled the little girl in his arms.
"Grandma said you better come or your food would get cold."
"Ok well lets go get some breakfast." Leo said as he lift his middle child and carried her into the kitchen. He was greeted by two other little girls who was gripping him by the legs.
"Morning sweethearts." Leo said as he placed a kiss on each forehead. "Morning Mama Smith."
"Morning Leo." Mama Smith said as she placed a plate of breakfast on the table. She was Leo's ex mother in law but still saw him as a son. Since her daughter divorced him to be with that Kevin she stayed and helped around with her grandchildren. She believed that her daughter was unfit to raise them so she help Leo fought to get custody.
"Daddy can you take us to the park today." Lindsey asked as she ate the last of her pancakes.
"Hmm I have to work today so if I could come home early I would be happy to if not Im sure your grandmother wouldnt mind." Leo said from behind his newspaper.
"Well, will you grandma?"
"Sure sweetheart."
"Oh hell. Im late for work. Bye girls be good for grandma." Leo said as he kissed each of his daughters goodbye on the forehead and rushed out of the door.
Piper turned to her side on the queen size bed as the sun woke her. She had been having some long nights in the office on this case she was on. She reluctantly pulled herself out of bed and started getting ready for a long day in the office. She walked into the kitchen to be greeted by an empty room. She slowly made her way over to cupboard and made herself a bowl of cereal. Check the time she went downstairs to the bottom of the penthouse and looked for her chaffuer. He was late again. Piper could not tolerate being late. She took her phone and called the chaffuer company to get a new driver for tomorrow and maybe a temporary one for today. As she hung up her phone she saw a familiar car pull infront of her. She got in and said nothing the whole way to her office.
"Hey Al, hey Tami how can I help you?" Leo asked with a genuine smile on his face.
"Leo you're finally here. My car wont start again can you take a look at it for me cause this old man like he forgot about cars." Tami asked
"Leo she doesnt know what she is talking about." Al said as he slumped on his chair.
"Sure why dont you go in and I'll tell you when to start it." Leo said as he took a look under the hood. Tami did what she was told and waited for Leo to give he the signal to start the car. After receiving it a few minutes later the car successfully started.
"Thanks Leo. This garage should be yours you know. I'll see you guys later." Tami said as she drove off.
"Hey Leo, how are things going?" Al asked.
"Well as best as it could. Wait I know that look what now." Leo asked.
"Well the chaffuer company called and they need a new driver for Ms. Halliwell and I.."
"Oh no Al you didnt. You know I am not good at things like that." Leo tried to agrue.
"Im sorry Leo its already decided and they already gave me a downpayment to you." Al said as he handed Leo $400.
"Well how can I say no when you put it like that." Leo said as he grabbed the money.
"Good."
"Hello, Piper Halliwell office, Ms Halliwell speaking."
"Hey Piper." a familiar voice said.
"Hey Prue, how are you?"
"Im good, hey me and Phoebe were wondering if you wanted to have lunch with us tomorrow."
"Sure you guys can meet me at the office at about 1."
"Ok well I'll talk to you soon. Bye."
"Bye." Piper said as she hung up the phone. She was right she doesnt need a man to complete her.
