Chapter 7

Leo's Angel

Leo looked around at his family sitting at the dining room table each involved in there own conversations.

Phoebe and Chris were talking about puppies.

Wyatt was telling his Aunt Paige about an art show that he was participating in at school. This was extremely interesting to Paige because she herself was an artist, and had given Wyatt his first easel and paints when he was just about Chris's age.

Both of his brother-in-law's were discussing the upcoming football season of the San Francisco 49ers. Little Henry and Patricia were running around the table chasing each other.

Had all of the trials and tribulations finally dissipated into a normal life? He wondered? He then said a silent prayer it was true!

He watched his beautiful wife walk back into the dinning room with desert on a large serving tray. "Who wants strawberry short cake" asked Piper with a smile on her face.

Leo knew with out a doubt his wife had baked the shortcakes, no little sponge cakes would do for her family it had to be homemade.

Leo loved to just watch his wife; she quickly started passing out the deserts to her family not one detail had been missed; the portions for Wyatt and Chris were smaller than the ones she had dished up for the adults.

Patricia's serving was smaller yet and in a bowl and cut into bite size pieces making it easier for her to manage.

She then sat the tray on the buffet took the last desert plate and sat it down in front of her seat she then walked around to the end of the table and captured the rambunctious child.

"Hey there buddy do you want some desert asked Piper?" the toddler who of course had no reply.

"I bet you do" she said and with that she sat down with little Henry on her lap and feed him desert from her plate.

Piper had often joked about Leo being an angel because he was her white lighter and, but Leo knew that is wife was his angel.

Leo continued to stare at his wife, after 9 years of marriage and two children Leo didn't quite know how it was possible but he loved Piper more now than he ever had. He knew it seemed impossible but, he loved her more everyday.

It was true they had there problems more then anyone should have to endure, and they still have there share of arguments sometimes more than there share, and certainly no one knew more than him that when she was stressed she was bitchy and bossy and loved to be in control of things.

She was the matriarch of the Halliwell family and without really knowing it she was the heart and soul of it.

Leo was glad that his sons were spending the night at his sister-in-laws house tonight, because he planned to show Piper just how much she meant to him, and he intended to take his slow sweet time about it.

Piper looked up and caught Leo looking at her. She smiled at her handsome husband whom she noticed had not taken one bite of his favorite desert. She took a bite of her own desert now that Paige's son and managed to scoot off her lap.

Piper looked at Chris who was just finishing off his shortcake and then quickly darted her eyes back to Leo who was still looking at her as if he could see into her soul.

Their was eight feet of sold oak table between them and 9 other people in the room including her children however, Piper could actually feel the desire that Leo had for her.

Leo smiled when he seen his wife blush, it excited him that he could get a reaction like that with out even touching her.

Piper stood up and pushed strands of her long dark hair behind her ears then started to pick up the used plates from the table. She walked in to the kitchen and set everything she had in her hands on the counter by the sink. She turned around to head back to the dinning room, but Leo was standing right in front of her.

"What's a matter Leo didn't you like the shortcake" she asked in low husky voice.

Leo was now standing as close to her as possible without actually touching her. "I'm going to have something else for desert" he said with a sexy smirk.

"Is that so?" Piper asked as she reached up and put her arms around her husband's neck and pulled him toward her and captured his lips with hers. When she pulled away from his kiss she was breathless, Leo still had her in his embrace.

Piper gently pushed Leo away although his right hand was still on her waist. She took a step back and held onto the counter for support her knee's actually felt week.

Leo knew she wanted him right then. He looked over his right shoulder in the direction of the dining room to confirm that his family was all still sitting at the table.

Taking advantage of their continued privacy Leo drew his wife to him and kissed her slowly, invading her mouth with his tongue tasting her every crevice, just as he began to suck her tongue into his mouth.

Piper pulled away forcing herself to be coherent. She took a deep breath and wondered as she often did how he could do that to her with just a kiss.

"You…" she pointed to Leo "Backpack's pajama's toothbrushes get the boys stuff together quick go orb now hurry!!" demanded Piper

Leo laughed at her reaction "what about no unnecessary orbing in the house" he asked with a smirk mocking her no magic rule "personal gain and all" he quickly added.

Standing so close to her, he slowly pushed his hand up from her waist until his thumb was right below her breast then he ever so slowly allowed his thumb to rub across her nipple, although there were two layers of fabric that separated Leo's hand from Piper skin he felt her shiver.

"Leo please," moaned Piper as she forced herself to breath "get the boys stuff together so we can get everyone out of here" begged Piper.

She desperately wanted to surrender to him but not in the kitchen with a houseful of people.

Leo smiled and gave her a knowing look then orbed out of the kitchen into Wyatt and Chris's bedroom. He just stood there for a motionless moment recovering from his own desires.

He was grateful when heard Piper from downstairs instructing his son's to go upstairs and help him retrieve their belongings.

Paige and Henry waved goodnight as they backed out of the driveway. Piper thought it odd that they had not walked to the Manor considering they live so close.

Piper walked back into the manor from the front porch leaving the front door open in hopes it would give a Phoebe a hint.

Coop had already left using his ring to transport a sleepy Patricia and Chris back to there condo.

"Do you want me to help you clean up" asked Phoebe.

"No! That's okay I got it" replied Piper as she started looking around and gathering Phoebe's children's things Patricia's sweater, Priscilla empty baby bottle and placing the items next to her sister purse in hopes that another hint would motivate her sister to move faster.

"If I did not know better I would think you are trying to get me to leave" said Phoebe tilting her head and giving her sister a grin

"Why would you think that?" asked Piper blushing with a big smile on her face.

"Oh I don't know" said Phoebe maybe because I can sense your emotions and I can sense every nerve ending in you body is on fire and Leo is…

"Ah stop right there lady, you are not supposed you use your power's on me especially your empathic power" said Piper pointing her finger at her little sister.

"Well I can't help it" complained Phoebe "it's you guys your just oozing lust and love and sex and lust"…. laughed Phoebe "kind of hot for old married people" said Phoebe giving Piper a wink.

That's it" said Piper blowing a piece of fly a way hair out of her eyes.

Piper walked over to the bottom of the staircase and yelled "Wyatt your Aunt Phoebe is leaving"

"Okay" came Wyatt's voice from the upstairs I'll be right there.

"Not another peep out you missy" Piper said to her sister giving her the evil eye.

Phoebe just gave her sister a grin she was happy to sit the boys and give her sister a weekend of romance being married to a cupid Phoebe was big on romance.

Just then Wyatt came running down the steps he stopped and hugged Piper "I love you mom" said Wyatt

"I love you too" said Piper as she kissed her son on the top of his head.

"Please watch your brother and listen to Aunt Phoebe and uncle Coop" instructed Piper as she looked at her Wyatt.

"I will mom, I promise" answered Wyatt and Piper knew that he would.

"Mom, Dad said we might go to the same place to get our puppy" Said Wyatt with so much excitement in his voice.

"He did" replied Piper smiling at her oldest son. "Well check out all of the puppies and we will talk about it tomorrow when you get home"

"Okay Mom I'll check them all out" said Wyatt as he quickly hugged his mom again and ran out of the manor with his and Chris's backpacks toward Phoebe's car.

"Goodnight Leo" Phoebe yelled up the stairs as her sister was almost pushing her out the door.

"Night Phoebe thanks for watching the boys" Leo yelled back

"Have fun" Phoebe yelled back…

"Goodnight Phoebe" said Leo

"Out!" Piper said to her sister who was walking out the door. Piper stood at the door while Phoebe placed Priscilla securely in her car seat and waited for her to actually pull away from the house before she closed the door.

Piper locked the door and ran up the stairs to find her man.
