Chapter 10 ~

The phone rang and Piper pulled away from Jeff. She looked at him for a second and then got up to answer it.

"Hello?" Piper said a little shaky.

"Hey girl! Is everything okay?" Amy asked.

"Umm.... yeah! Just tired..... ya know?"

"Well..... you should be tired, your pregnant. Are you and Jeff having a good time?"

"Yeah... you ummm could say that." Piper replied. Jeff was still on the floor staring at his hands.

"Is something going on?"

"Once again, you could say that!" Piper said watching Jeff get up and leave the room.

"Oh god, you don't sound good. Did you and Jeff get in a fight?" Amy replied in a worried voice knowing that Jeff and Piper have never gotten in a real fight.

"No.... but you called at the perfect time."

"Were you two about to get in a fight ?" Amy asked now a little confused,

"No..... Amy, we weren't about to fight! But we mite be after I get off the phone. Amy we kissed!"

"WHAT!?!? You two kissed?!?! I can't believe it. I mean we all thought you guys had a thing for each other but we didn't think you would act upon it."

"What? Pause. Rewind. You think Jeff and I have a thing for each other?"

"Well.... Piper, we all do. You can see it when Jeff looks at you. You know that there's something there. Don't say that you never thought of Jeff like that ."

"Amy, that's not the point. I don't want Jeff to care about me because of the baby. He's never had a women close to him have a baby.... he loves the idea of being around a baby. He doesn't love me!"

"Do you love him?" Amy asked with a low voice. Piper sat there for a few minutes. She didn't know how to answer and that's what scared her the most. Amy finally the quiet, "Piper??"

"I don't know. But it doesn't matter if I am because if I was I won't know if it was for real or if it was because I don't want to be alone with a baby in 4 1/2 months. I don't want to wonder about that. I need to know if the feelings are real. Even if I'm not 'in love' with him I still love him as my best friend. And he will ALWAYS be my best friend, no matter what."

"I completely understand hun. But I better let you go now... cuz I'm sure you and Jeff have to talk about what happen."

"Yeah, Bye." Piper said before hanging up the phone.

While Piper was on the phone, with Amy, Jeff had gotten up and went our on Piper's front porch. The porch was one of the main reasons Piper had bought the house. That and the fact that there was a pool, 4 bedroom, and a very large kitchen. Piper always dreamed of having a house with a wrap around porch and a large kitchen , so she could cook all the time.

Jeff sat on the porch thinking about what had just happened. He had no problem with the kiss, seeing as he enjoyed it, but he didn't want to ruin his friendship with Piper. As Jeff sat there on the stairs with his head in his hands Piper walked outside. She sat down next to him and they didn't speak for 10 minutes. Piper finally couldn't take it .

"Why are we acting like this?" she asked.

"I don't know.... I think we're scared that kiss ruined our friendship." Piper nodded and they sat for another couple of minutes.

"Piper, I don't know what to say to you. I care about you a lot. I mean your my best friend and I spend so much time with you. I don't want anything to change but then I do. The more and more time we spent together the more I can't get you out of my head. I want to be friends with you but at the same time I want to be with you..... I can't picture my life with out you. And I know I can have that when I am friends with you but I don't even like it when you talk to Pat. And I know nothing is going to happen there.... I-"

"Jeff, stop!!! I don't know what to say..... I care about you, too. And recently I've had more then friendship feelings for you but Jeff nothing can happen. I don't want to think about if your with me because you actually care or if you want to be around the baby. And I don't want you to wonder why I love you-"

"Hold on, you love me?" Jeff asked staring at Piper. Once the words came out of his mouth Pipers head snapped up and her mouth just hung up.
