It was a cold, foggy morning in San Francisco. Phoebe Halliwell and her
sister Prue were downstairs in the kitchen, sipping some coffee. Prue
glanced at her watch as she set her coffee mug down. "I wish they'd hurry
up." She muttered. Phoebe looked up at her sister with a small smile on her
face.
"They are newly weds, what do you expect?"
"If I hear one more noise coming from that room..I'll.." Prue trailed off
as she heard a thump followed by some giggling coming from upstairs.
"That's it!" she shouted as she threw her hands up into the air.
"Prue, don't start! This is as close to a honeymoon they are going to get!"
Prue glared at Phoebe as she slowly sank back into her seat. "Fine." she mumbled as she looked at her watch again. "Did the paper come yet?" Phoebe shrugged as she leaned back in her seat. "Not that I know of."
"Figures. It's late again. Third time this week."
"Wow, someone sure is grumpy today." Phoebe smiled her small smile once again as another thump was heard from upstairs. Prue gritted her teeth. Phoebe slowly pushed over a plate of pancakes and bacon over in Prue's direction. "You haven't eaten breakfast yet. You might as well.. They'll probably be at it for a while." Prue looked sideways at the plate then at Phoebe. "I'm not hungry. How can you eat when your sister is upstairs - making noises?"
"The same way I still eat when you're doing the same thing?" Prue forced a smile and kicked Phoebe under the table. "Cute sis"
"Ow! Was that really necessary?" Phoebe smirked as she kicked Prue back. "I was just trying to make you laugh." Prue once again picked up her coffee mug and took a big gulp. "I thought we were going to actually . go out for breakfast."
"We were" sighed Phoebe as she looked up at the ceiling. "Maybe we should go get them?" "Maybe...You should" Prue smiled as she looked at Phoebe. "Fine. But, you're coming with me." Phoebe said as she stood up and lightly grabbed onto Prue's arm and pulled her up. "Ouch! All right, all right. I don't need help standing up, you know." They both sighed loudly as they headed up the stairs.

Piper and her husband, Leo Wyatt, were lying next to each other, staring into one another's eyes. Leo stroked his hand over Piper's face as he kissed her forehead.
"I love you." he whispered. Piper smiled and pulled herself closer to him, resting her head against his chest. "I love you too" she replied. Leo smiled back as he wrapped his arms around her waist. "I wonder what the longest record is for staying in bed." Piper asked as she glanced upwards at Leo. "I'm not sure, but I bet we can break it easy". Leo answered as he kissed the top of Piper's head. She smiled. "I'm glad you're here." She said as she rested her head against his chest again and yawned quietly. "I'm glad I'm here too." Leo sighed. "This is the only place I want to be." Still smiling, Piper closed her eyes as she tried to go back to sleep. Just then, a small noise could be heard, only be Leo. He looked up at the ceiling.
"Uh-oh.." he mumbled as he looked back down at Piper. Piper's eyes snapped open. "Uh-oh? What do you mean 'uh-oh'? " Leo looked at Piper with pleading eyes. "I have to go. I'm really sorry Piper." Leo sighed, feeling awful and raked with guilt. "Oh no you don't!" Piper said as she grabbed onto Leo and pulled him closer to her. "You're not going anywhere." "Piper.I don't have choice. It's my job." Piper sat up and looked straight at Leo. "And this is our honeymoon." Piper groaned, frustrated, she knew this was a battle she wouldn't win. "Fine. Go." Leo arched a brow at her then slowly smiled. "I love you." he kissed her on the lips and orbed away in a light mist of blue smoke before Piper could kiss back. She signed.
"Perfect. Just great.." She mumbled to herself. "And here I actually thought we would have time with each other." She groaned again as she fell backwards onto her pillow. She glanced up as she heard a knock on the door.
"Piper, honey, it's us. Everything alright in there?" Phoebe asked as she opened the door a crack and poked her head in.
"Sure! Everything is fine! Just peachy! Never better!" Piper said, trying her best not to show any emotion. Behind the door Prue and Phoebe exchanged glances. "That doesn't sound good." Prue muttered. Phoebe swung the door open the rest of the way and walked inside, Prue following. Prue looked at Piper then the empty spot next to her.
"Where's Leo?"
"He left. Like usual." Piper sat up slightly, leaning on her elbows. Phoebe walked over to the edge of Piper's bed and sat down. "He left? Just like that?"
"Whitelighter business." Piper moaned.
"I'm sorry." Prue said, walking over to Piper's side and sitting down next to her.
"At least you sort of know where he is." Prue said, pushing some of Piper's hair out of her face. "Oh, yeah, I really know where he is. Somewhere .. up" Piper said silently.
"I've only been up there once and I can't even remember what happened, or what it looked like." Piper sighed and leaned against Prue's shoulder. "At least he loves what he does." Phoebe added. "He helps people, it's what he's always wanted to do, right?". Piper sighed. "I guess you're right. I just miss him." There was a short, awkward silence then Phoebe cleared her throat. "So, on that happy note, How's breakfast sound?" Prue smiled.
"I'm definitely hungry."
"Oh so now your hungry? Afraid of my cooking?" Phoebe asked, crossing her arms over her chest defensively.
"I was afraid your cooking would have given me food poisoning" Phoebe rolled her eyes and Piper choked back a laugh. "Food sounds good. I take it we'll be going out?" Prue nodded. "You better get dressed, unless you want to go in your bunny slippers." Piper slowly smiled.
"We'll be downstairs." Phoebe said as she stood up. "Don't take too long, I'm starved."
"Oh! I see, so you don't even eat your own cooking?" Prue asked as she also stood up. "Aren't you?" Phoebe asked. They both smiled and walked out of Piper's room.
Prue glared at Phoebe as she slowly sank back into her seat. "Fine." she mumbled as she looked at her watch again. "Did the paper come yet?" Phoebe shrugged as she leaned back in her seat. "Not that I know of."
