A/N: I don't own charmed
" Don't you just love Halloween?" Phoebe said, as she and Piper sat at the kitchen table at the Manor, carving pumpkins " Its my favorite."
" Yeah, I love it, too." Piper agreed. " This year Leo and I are going as Wilma and Fred Flintstone. Except Wilma was probably thinner than me."
She patted her stomach, which had grown a little bit from her pregnancy.
" Piper, that's just the baby." Phoebe told her. "And besides, you look great."
" Yeah, Yeah." Piper said. " Anyway, we're going as that, and Lucy's going to be Minnie Mouse."
" That's so cute." Phoebe grinned.
" Yeah, I got her the costume two days ago." Piper said. " I figured she'd look cute in it."
" She is going to." Phoebe said. " God, I think I was Minnie when I was little."
" I think you were." Piper said, putting her knife down. " You were three, I think."
She went back to carving her pumpkin.
" Hey." came a voice from the doorway. Piper looked up to see Leo with Lucy in his arms, her head nestled into the crook of his neck. Her tiny arms were wrapped around his neck.
" Hi." Piper smiled, pushing her knife away from her, and whipping her hands on a napkin as Leo walked up to her.
He planted a kiss on her lips, and looked at her.
" How're you feeling?" he asked her. She had been feeling horrible all morning, and then decided to come to the manor while Leo went to the restaurant with Lucy.
" Alright." Piper said, putting a hand to her stomach once more. " Better than this morning."
" Good." Leo said.
" I'm surprised she doesn't feel worse now." Phoebe smirked. " With that Egg sandwich with ketchup, mustard, and yogurt she ate for lunch."
"That was good." Piper argued.
Leo laughed. " Listen, honey, do you want me to take you home?" he said. " And we'll come back later? Or do you want to stay?"
" You could help us here." Piper said. " We can put Lucy down upstairs since she's asleep."
" Sure." Leo said. " Lets get her upstairs."
Piper got up, and looked at Phoebe.
" I'll be right back." She told her. Phoebe nodded.
Piper and Leo left the kitchen, and headed towards the stairs.
" How did everything at the restaurant go?" she asked him, as they walked up the stairs. " Is Rachel handling everything okay?"
Rachel was their head manager.
Leo nodded. " Yeah." he said. " I fed Lucy while we were there, and she passed out."
Piper smiled, and ran a hand over her daughter's head.
They got to Piper's old bedroom, and went inside. Leo laid Lucy down in the crib next to the wall by the bed, and grabbed the baby monitor off of the dresser. He put the matching one on the night stand directly next to the crib.
Lucy shifted in her sleep, and got comfortable.
" Sweet dreams, angel." Piper whispered. Leo turned out the lights, and they left the room.
When they got back to the kitchen, Phoebe was at the center island making tea.
" Thought we could use a little break." she said, as they walked in.
" You thought right." Piper said,. She and Leo sat down at the table.
" These pumpkins look great." Leo said, looking at the two already carved pumpkins.
" Thanks." Piper and Phoebe said, in unison.
The back doors opened, and grocery bags dropped onto the floor.
" You wouldn't believe how crowded that grocery store is." Grams said, walking into the room. She saw Leo, and smiled. " Hi Leo."
" Hi, Grams." he said.
" I just couldn't believe it." she said, going back to her ranting. " The lines were horrible, and of course I get stuck in line with the new cashier in training and behind the woman with 'I have coupons…wait this one may be expired…' God."
" I told you I would go." Piper said. " We didn't need much, just enough for me to make something for all of us for dinner tonight."
" Yes, well I got chicken and some veggies and stuff to make a nice salad." Grams said.
" And some nice spaghetti for you Piper, since you can't eat chicken…"
Piper rolled her eyes. She was going through her aversion to poultry stage in her pregnancy.
" Besides, I'm glad I went." Grams went on. I would want you to have to deal with all of that. No stress, remember?"
Piper rolled her eyes again, this time with a smile. " Yeah, I remember." she said. " Leo reminds me daily, too."
Leo grinned.
"Tea's ready." Phoebe said, as she turned the stove off. She too the pot off of the stove, and poured the hot water into four tea mugs in front of her.
She went over to the cabinet next to the sink, took out the teabags, and put one into each cup.
" Here you go." she said, handing a cup to each of them, keeping one for herself.
A tiny cry came from the baby monitor in Leo's hand.
" Momma!" Lucy's voice came through the monitor. " Daddy."
" And we just got tea." Piper sighed. " Oh well, Momma and Daddy. That's us."
" I'll go." Leo told Piper. "I'll bring her down."
" Thanks." Piper said.
" No problem. I'll be back." Leo said, walking out of the room.
" Piper and Leo are being Fred and Wilma for Halloween." Phoebe told Grams. " Isn't that the sweetest thing?"
" It's very creative." Grams agreed. " What about Lucy?"
" I got her a Minnie Mouse costume." Piper told her. " It's really cute."
" I'm sure it is." Grams grinned.
" We're trick or treating with Missy and her niece this year." Piper said. " Missy's sister had to work late, so Missy's taking her."
" That'll be nice." Phoebe said. " Lucy and Casey get along so well together."
" Yeah, compared to me and Missy." Piper said. " But well, that's done and over with."
" That's different." Phoebe said. " If you remember you didn't hate her always. Only when she started hanging out with that crowd she was with…Amy's crowd, you know did she become a total bitch."
" Hello, minors in the room." Leo said, coming into the room with Lucy in his arms.
" Sorry." Phoebe covered her mouth.
" We were just talking about Halloween." Piper told him, as he placed Lucy in her arms.
" And how we're going out with Missy and her niece."
" Yeah, the two girls get together great." Leo said. " And it'll be a nice afternoon."
" It will be." Piper nodded.
