A/N: I don't own charmed.

Unfortunately with the New Year, brought a whole three weeks more of being tutored. Fortunately those three weeks went faster than Piper or Leo had expected. Now all that was on their minds was the baby that would be born in just a few short weeks. Piper just kept telling herself that through all the pain, there would be a tiny baby at the end of it. Of course there would be responsibilities to having a baby, but it was all worth it.

It was a quiet Monday morning, starting their freedom from high school, and Piper was resting and reading a book. That was about all she could do, seeing as the doctor had sentenced her to bed rest. Something about the risk of toxemia, if her stress level went too high. She did as she was told, for the sake of the baby.

Leo walked into the room, as she turned a page of her book.

" Hi, honey." She said, looking up from the book.

He sat down on the couch next to her, and looked at her.

" Comfortable?" he asked.

" Very." She smiled. She felt the baby kick, and instantly grabbed Leo's hand, and set it onto her large stomach.

He felt the baby kick, and he smiled. That was his baby kicking that he would soon meet, and hold in his arms.

" What do you think it is?" Leo asked her.

" I don't know." Piper said. " I don't care as long as it's healthy."

" Don't worry, he or she will be." He assured her. "Hey we never discussed baby names."

" I know." She said, grabbing a book from beside her. She had been looking through this baby book earlier, and couldn't come up with a decision.

She settled the book onto her stomach, and opened it. Leo looked at it.

" Well, I was thinking about…"

She felt a cool sensation, a 'pop' sound, and a wet feeling. Water trickled down her leg, and into her sock. She knew exactly what this was. She was going into labor. Her water had just broken. The cramps from earlier were actually contractions. This couldn't be. She was three weeks early.

" Leo?" she said, pulling herself up into sitting position.

" Yes, dear?" Leo said, looking at the book.

" Honey, I think we're about to find out what the baby is."

" Now?" he said, anxiously.

" Leo, my water just broke, yes now."

" Piper you're not due for another three weeks." Leo said.

" I know that." Piper cried. " But our child thinks otherwise!"

She was now sweating a little. " Get me to the hospital!"

Leo helped her off of the couch, and grabbed her bag that was sitting next to the couch ready to go since she was five months along.

He drove carefully to the hospital, and called her sisters to let them know the baby was on the way.

Finally they got inside of the hospital, and into a room.

" Leo, please don't leave me alone." Piper said, as she breathed heavily. She was in the middle of a contraction. " Ow!"

She grabbed Leo's hand and squeezed it.

" I wouldn't dream of it." Leo assured her. No way was he going to leave his wife when she was in labor.

Twelve hours later, Piper was ready to give birth.

" When the next contraction hits, push, okay?" the doctor was saying.

Piper knew she had to push when the pain started, so when the next contraction hit, she started to push.

" I see a head." The doctor said.

Piper pushed again, and she heard the doctor say that he saw shoulders. All she kept in her mind during this pain was the little baby she was soon to meet. That would be the reward to this work and pain.

" I need a big push, Piper." The doctor said.

" You can do this." Leo said from her side. Piper gripped and squeezed his hand hard, and pushed as hard as she could. The doctor was now saying something about a body, and legs.

" The baby is out." He said. This was it. She was finally meeting her baby." It's a girl!"

Piper looked at Leo with joy. They had a little baby girl. This was the greatest miracle of her life. She even received the miracle early. Leo was smiling toothily at her.

" Here you go momma." A nurse said, handing Piper her baby. Piper took the small pink bundle into her arms, and looked at the small face inside in the blanket.

" She's so beautiful." Leo smiled. " She's perfect. Like her mother."

Piper smiled at him.

" What are we going to name her?" she asked.

" Well, when we were discussing it, you went into labor."

" Yeah, well why don't we decide now." She said. " How about Emily?"

" I love that name." He said. " What about her middle name?"

" Paige. Paige will love that."

" Emily Paige Wyatt." Leo said. " Oh, Piper, she's beautiful."

" I know she is." Piper agreed. " Where are my sisters…and my dad?"

" Your sisters are here." Leo said. " But I don't know about your dad."

" Please call him." Piper said. " I'm sure he'd like to meet his granddaughter…his first one."

" I'm sure he would too." Leo said, and went to go walk out the door.

" Love you." She said.

" Love you, too."

He left, and went to go find Prue, Paige, and Phoebe. Today was a great day. He had his wife, and his child. That was more than he could ask for.

He found the three girls sitting in the waiting room, reading magazines, and looking bored.

Prue saw Leo walked towards them, with a huge smile on his face.

As he got closer, all three of them noticed him.

" Did Piper have the baby?" Paige asked.

" It's a girl." Leo said.

" Oh my gosh!" Prue exclaimed. " Can we see Piper?"

" You sure can." Leo said. " Room 211."

Prue, Phoebe, and Paige rushed down the hall in search of 211. Leo walked behind them, smiling at their excitement.

They finally found the room, and entered slowly and quietly.

" Hi, Piper." Paige whispered.

" Hey guys." Piper whispered. " Come meet your niece."

All three of them walked over to Piper and sat in a chair. There were only two chairs, so Leo and Prue had to stand. Leo stood next to Piper, with his hand on her shoulder.

" What's her name?" Paige asked, as she looked at the baby.

" Emily." Piper said. " Emily Paige Wyatt."

Paige looked honored. Piper knew she had just made her sisters day.

" Did you call Dad?" Piper asked, looking up at Leo.

" I did." Prue said. " About twenty minutes ago. He said he's on his way."

Piper sighed. She sure hoped he would come. As soon as she thought that, the door opened, and there stood Victor. He was smiling and holding a baby blanket in his hands.

Piper smiled. Her dad had come through for her.

A/N: okay so review. Next chapter will be Piper talking to her dad, and coming home. Watch for an update.
