Okay, I know you are all wondering about what I said about needing tissues for the end of this story. You guys are going to have to wait. I have a few things in mind as to what might happen, but I want it to be very final. Anyway, thanks for reading(: Please review if you read, I like to know what you think. I really don't want to be one of those writers that says they won't add more chapters until they get more reviews, but I like you guy's input(:
"I decided I don't want to be a ballerina, I'd rather be on the dance squad," said the now 10 year old Pauline. "I have to audition, but it's more me."
"Are you sure? You can't just switch back and forth from team to team," said Piper. "You have to pick something you really want to do and stick with it."
Pauline nodded.
"I do really want to do this! I just think ballerina classes are too fancy for me," said Pauline, who had been somewhat rebellious lately.
"Alright," said Piper. "When are auditions?"
"Next Thursday," said Pauline. She hopped up on the counter beside Adam, who Piper was applying neosporin to his cut.
"Okay," said Piper. She looked at Adam. "No more skating in the streets, okay? Driveway only."
"Ugh!" Adam groaned. Piper gave him a look and he smiled. "Okay. Driveway only." He hopped down and left the room.
"It's almost 9," said Piper. "Time for Adam to go to bed."
She left the room to go find him, and found him in her bedroom with Leo.
"Hey, kid, time for bed," said Piper.
Adam jumped up on the bed.
"You gotta catch me first!" said Adam.
Piper jumped up after him. Leo laughed at them, and eventually Piper caught Adam.
"Okay, spiderman. Bedtime!"
She jumped off the bed and he hopped into her arms.
"Pauline!" she called walking to Adam's room. "You got half an hour before bedtime!"
"Okay!" she yelled back from the bathroom. "I'm going to get my bath!"
Piper walked Adam into his room. He jumped in his bed he had gotten for his sixth birthday. It was a twin sized bed, currently covered with batman sheets.
"No bedtime story tonight, mom, I'm to tired," said Adam.
"Okay, kid, get to sleep. Tomorrow we are moving your stuff to Paige's old room, now that she got the last of her stuff out," said Piper, giving him a kiss on the forehead.
"Why do I got to switch rooms?" asked Adam.
"Well, I figured you would want a bigger room," said Piper. "This room is for a little boy, and you aren't so little anymore."
Adam nodded.
"Your right. Big kids need big rooms," he said. A yawn followed as Piper turned the lights off.
"Goodnight, spiderman," said Piper.
"Night, mom," said Adam.
Piper closed the door and headed back to her bedroom. She found Leo laying in the bed, watching tv.
"Hey honey," said Piper. "What are you watching?"
He clicked it off.
"Nothing interesting," said Leo. "How was you day?"
"Same old stuff," said Piper, a hint of satisfaction in her voice.
"Is that a bad thing?" Leo asked, noticng the tone.
"It's just... I miss how it used to be," said Piper with a sigh.
"What do you mean?"
"You know," said Piper. "We never knew what we were going to do the next day. We didn't plan anything, we were late, we cussed, we drank. We were so happy doing nothing with our lives. Scraping money together just to pay the rent. Next thing I know, I'm a wife, then I'm a mother, and we can afford to pay the bills. Don't get me wrong, it's nice having all these things. And being your wife and their mother is amazing and I love it. But don't you miss how it used to be? Don't you miss that feeling of not knowing?"
He thought for a moment, and wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close to him.
"Yeah, sometimes," said Leo.
"I just get tired of knowing what I'm going to do every single day. And the day after that and the day after that. I miss the total spontaneity of doing whatever we wanted all the time," said Piper.
"I know, and sometimes I feel the same," said Leo. "But you know what reminds me of how much I love being a husband and father?"
"What's that?" asked Piper.
"I come home to you every day. Every day, I get to come home and I get to know that you are my wife, and these are our kids. And I love it," he said. He gave her a kiss on the forehead. "But yeah. I do miss the good old days. But I'm happy to be in my shoes."
"Me too," she said with a smile.
She unbuttoned her shirt, and slipped off her undershirt. He took off his t-shirt while she slipped out of her pants. He smiled and kissed her neck.
"Wait, wait," she said. "Pauline's still up. Let me go tuck her in."
She slipped her robe on and tied it. She walked over and opened the door and walked down the hallway into Pauline's room. She was in her nightgown, brushing her hair in front of her vanity mirror. Piper smiled and walked in and got behind her so Pauline could see her in the mirror.
"You are very pretty," said Piper. She took the brush and began brushing her hair.
"I wish," muttered Pauline.
"You don't think your pretty?" asked Piper.
"Not as pretty as other girls. Or you, or Aunt Paige," said Pauline.
Piper sat the brush down.
"Trust me," she said. "All little girls feel that way. Give it time. You will come to love your looks."
"I hope so," said Pauline. "When can I start wearing makeup? My friend Heather already did! And I am older than her!"
"Makeup?" asked Piper. "Maybe when your older."
"Alright," said Pauline with a frown. "When I'm eleven?"
"Maybe we can get you play makeup. How about that?" said Piper.
"Okay," said Pauline with a big smile. "When can I wear grown-up makeup, like you?"
"When your older," said Piper. She smiled. "Do you want to hear a bedtime story?"
"Mom, I'm too old for bedtime stories!" said Pauline.
"Alright," said Piper. She kissed Pauline's forehead. "Goodnight, babygirl."
"Night, mommy," she said quietly.
Piper turned her light off and closed the door. She peeked in on Adam, who was sprawled out on the bed snoring.
She walked back in the bedroom, and hung up her robe on the back of the door.
"There both down," said Piper.
"I was thinking," said Leo. "I think it would be nice to fill Adam's room since he's moving to the bigger room. I think I want another baby."
"Really?" asked Piper. She smiled. "I think so too."
"So, you want to start trying?"
"Yeah," said Piper. "Let's do it."
"See, we are still spontaneous," said Leo with a smile. She smiled back and laughed a little.
Leo smiled and kissed her. His hands wrapped around her back and they walked over to the bed. They laid down and Leo climbed on top of her. He kissed her chest and unclasped her bra. She kicked her underwear off. He slid his boxers off as she moved her legs apart. He slowly rubbed her lower hips and he glided into her. Leo began kissing her neck and down to her chest.
"Uhh," moaned Piper.
He smiled and went a little faster. She wrapped her legs around his waste and he thrusted into her harder.
"Oh god," she moaned loudly. He kept going. Leo began thrusting into her harder than ever. He knew she couldn't take much more. He kept going for a few minutes as she moaned furiously. When she thought she couldn't take it anymore, she reached her climax. He then scooted down and slipped out of her. She laid there panting and out of breath. He rolled over and just let her lay on top of him as he stroked her back. He slipped the cool comforter over them and wrapped his arms around her again. They drifted off to sleep, both hoping it had worked, but also very very satisfied.

"Adam! Sweetie, it's time to get up!" Piper said as she rocked Adam's shoulder. "Time for school!"
He lazily sat up and stretched. Piper left the room to check on Pauline.
"Pauline! You up?" she called as she neared her room.
"Yeah, I got up early to straighten my hair," said Pauline.
"Alright, be careful with the hot metal though" said Piper. She walked to the kitchen and got their lunches out of the fridge. She retrieved the coffee can from the top of the fridge and fished two five dollar bills out of it. Every Friday, they each got five dollars for allowance.
Pauline walked in the kitchen.
"How do I look?" she asked. She had on a cute pink and grey plaid mini skirt with grey leggings and a pink t-shirt with matching grey flipflops.
"Very cute," said Piper. "When you get home, I have surprise for you."
Pauline flashed a smile.
"Okay."
She quickly ate the toast and eggs Piper had made for her. Adam walked in and devoured a poptart.
"Okay, guys," said Piper as it neared 8 o'clock. The bell rang at 8:10 and it took five minutes to get there. "Almost ready?"
"Yeah," they chorused.
"Here you go," she said, handing them each their allowances.
"I'm going to get a hawaiian punch today!" said Pauline excitedly.
"Check your lunch," said Piper, who had replaced the regular apple juice with a hawaiian punch which had become her new favorite drink.
She did, and smiled.
"Thanks mom!"
"No problem. You guys ready to go?" asked Piper, getting her keys and straightening out her blouse.
"Yeah," said Adam.
"Mhm," said Pauline.
Leo came into the kitchen.
"Babe, can you go start the car? I have to talk to the kids," said Leo.
"Yeah," she said. He gave her a quick kiss and she left.
"Okay guys," said Leo once she had left. "You know what this Sunday is?"
"Mothers Day!" they chorused excitedly.
"Yeah," Leo giggled. He pulled the catalog out of his pocket. "At lunch today, I want you to pick out three things. One from each of you and one from both of you together, okay?"
"Okay," they agreed. Pauline put it in her backpack and they ran out.
"Bye daddy," said Pauline as she left.
"Bye sweetie," he called after her.
"Later dad," Adam said tossing his backpack over pne shoulder.
"See ya, chief."
Pauline and Adam climbed in the car.
Piper dropped them off and hollered her goodbyes. She drove back to the house and began cleaning up the living room. She picked up all Adam's cars and put them in in his toy chest, and put Pauline's dolls back in her room next to the dollhouse. She made both their beds while she was in their rooms and picked up things they had on the floor. Then she returned to the living room. She straightened up the pillows on the couch, loveseat, and chair. She dusted the desk and mantle. She watered the plants, and vaccumed the carpet. Then she moved to the kitchen where she did the dishes, took the garbage out, cleaned the counters, swept and mopped the floor, then she took a break. She sat down with a yogurt and a water bottle. She laid back on the couch and clicked the tv on. She noticed she was starting to get a little chubby on her stomache. She had a little meat, but her stretch marks had finally gone from her pregnancy. She messed with her belly piercing that she'd had since she was sixteen. She had to take it out when she was pregnant with Adam, and soon she would again if she and Leo suceeded. She finished her yogurt and then went to clean the bathroom. After she was done with that, she noticed the time and cleaned herself up to go have lunch with Leo.
When she arrived, he was waiting at their usual table at the little italian restraunt the always went to, Romeras.
"Hey baby," greeted Leo.
"Hey," she said in an out-of-breath voice as he kissed her cheek.
Halfway through there lunch, Leo's beeper went off.
"Oh, no," said Leo. "Can we cut this a little short?"
Piper smiled.
"Of course," she said.
"Alright, thanks for understanding" said Leo.
He gave her a quick kiss as they exited after paying.
"I'll see you at home."
"Bye," she called as they went there seperate ways.
She went to JCPenny's before going home to get Pauline's surprise; a huge set of kids makeup. She figured at least she could practice with this stuff, and still feel confident at school. She also got Adam a new racing game for his playstation 2 so he could get something too.
She sat the long thin box on Pauline's bed with a big red bow tied around it. She smiled and left her room.
She looked at the clock; 2:50. The kids got out at 2:57. She walked out to the car and drove to the school, arriving just in time to see Adam walking proudly to the car.
"What are you so happy about?" asked Piper with a grin at his goofy expression and puffed up chest.
"I got a A+ on my painting today!" said Adam, showing no signs of modesty.
"Good for you," she said, giving him a high five. Pauline got to the car and hopped up in the seat.
"Hey mom," said Pauline, buckling up.
"Hey babygirl," she said. "How was school?"
"School was boring as usual," said Pauline. Then she gave Piper a smile. "So, uh, where's the surprise?"
"At home," said Piper.
She clicked on the radio and distracted them with some pop song. They arrived home and Pauline was inside before Piper even turned the car off.
Piper walked to the door, just as Pauline came running from her room. She threw her arms around Piper's waist.
"Thank you mom! It's so perfect!" she screamed. "I love it!"
"Your welcome," said Piper.
"Will you come play with me?" asked Pauline.
"Of course," said Piper, and they ran back to her room, Pauline dragging Piper by the hand.
"Adam, I got you a new game," said Piper as Adam came in the room to check out what the excitement was all about.
