Leo walked in the door and Piper hung up the phone.

"That was Dr. Hightower. She confirmed it," said Piper with a smile.

"That's great!" said Leo as he gave her a kiss.

"Now we have to tell the kids," said Piper uneasily.

"Alright, shouldn't be too much trouble," said Leo. "Adam! Pauline! Come to the living room!"

Piper sat on Leo's lap and they came in. Adam was the first to speak up.

"I didn't do it! Whatever it was, I didn't do anything!"

Piper laughed. "You aren't in trouble. Mommy and Daddy have some news!"

"Good news or bad news?" said Pauline. "Because Megan's parent said the same thing when they got a divorce."

"It's good," said Leo. "Mommy and I aren't going to get a divorce. Ever."

Pauline smiled.

"Then what is it?"

Piper looked at Leo and nodded. Leo turned back to the kids.

"Mommy is going to have a baby!" announced Leo.

Pauline jumped up and ran over to Piper.

"You mean it's in there right now?" asked Pauline pointing to Piper's stomache.

"Yup," said Piper.

Adam got up and went over to Leo.

"How'd it get in there?" he asked.

"I'll tell you when your older," said Leo.

Piper looked at Pauline and winked. They had had "the talk" last week. Pauline smiled because she knew something Adam didn't.

Adam got bored after a few minutes and returned to his room, taking Leo with him to play games. Pauline stayed next to Piper, talking to the baby.

"No pressure, but you would make me really happy if you were a girl," said Pauline. "Then we could be friends, and I could give you makeovers, and give you handmedowns."

Piper giggled.

"Do you think it's going to be a girl?" asked Piper.

"Yup," said Pauline.

"Me too," she whispered back and they giggled.

(Scene: Friday morning; Piper is waking up the children for school.)

"Babygirl," called Piper. "Time to wake up!"

Pauline sat up and yawned.

Piper walked out of the room and down the hallway into Adam's.

"Hey, kiddo," she said. "Time to get up and get ready!"

He was on the very edge edge of the bed as she yelled. When he didn't sit up, she yelled again.

"ADAM!" she snapped.

"WHa-" Adam said, as rolled off the bed and fell on the floor.

Adam quickly sat up and started laughing.

"Are you alright?" asked Piper.

"Yeah," Adam laughed.

Piper giggled and then walked out.

Leo had gone to work early to work on a contract before presenting it. Piper went in the kitchen and got their allowances and began making their breakfasts.

Pauline walked in, ready to eat breakfast.

"Oh, honey, it isn't ready yet," said Piper. "It'll be a few minutes."

"Okay," said Pauline. Instead of sitting down to wait, she walked over to Piper's belly.

"Good morning, baby!" said Pauline.

She looked up at Piper.

"She's hungry!"

"Did she tell you that?" asked Piper.

"No, we just have a connection. I know what she needs," said Pauline.

Piper smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I'll have some toast in a minute."

"You should make it yogurt amd fruit," said Pauline. "Kathryn doesn't like bread much."

"Kathryn?" Piper questioned.

"Yes. It think that's what we should name her," said Pauline.

"It is a pretty name," Piper nodded. She put Pauline's breakfast on a plate and handed it to her.

"It's close to my adoptive mommy's name. Karyn, Kathryn," said Pauline.

"You know what, babygirl?" said Piper. "If it's a girl, we'll name it Kathryn!"

"Really?!" said Pauline. "YAY!!!"

Piper laughed and handed her her allowance.

Adam walked in.

"Addy, we named the baby! If it's a girl," said Pauline.

"What's it's name then?" asked Adam, picking up his poptart.

"Kathryn," said Pauline proudly.

"You know what?" said Piper.

"What?" asked Pauline.

"That was also daddy's grandma's name," said Piper. "He loved her alot, so I think he'll love that name alot."

"Yay," said Pauline with a smile.

"Okay, chop chop! Gotta leave in three minutes," said Piper, grabbing their jackets, lunches, and backpacks. "Adam, here's your allowance, and don't forget, you have practice today."

Adam had joined little league soccer, and had practice Tuesday's and Friday's.

After Piper dropped them off at school, she headed home to begin her daily cleaning, cooking, and other chores in the "daily life of a housewife", as she liked to put it.

****************************

Piper was three months pregnant, and she had a doctor appointment today.

"Bye, guys," she said as the kids got out of the car and went into school.

"Bye," said Adam.

"Bye, mommy," said Pauline. "Bye Kathryn!"

Piper smiled and drove home to get Leo, who had stayed home to go with Piper to her appointment.

"Hey, honey," she greeted as she walked in. "Ready to go?"

"Yeah," he said, standing up. He walked over and hugged her from behind and put his hands on her belly.

"How are you feeling today?"

"Pretty good. Although, I'm not even going to bother eating today. It'll just be in the toilet later," said Piper.

"I'm sorry baby," said Leo. "It's worth it, isn't it?"

She looked up and smiled at him.

"Yes, it is."

As they walked into Dr. Hightower's office, Piper noticed she was still looking very tired. She motioned Leo to sit down in his usual place and she walked over to her.

"Dr. Hightower, are you alright?" asked Piper.

She looked a bit surprised for a moment and then she gave a small smile.

"Yes, I'm fine," said Dr. Hightower.

"It's just... the last few times I've come, you look awfully worn out," said Piper.

"Ah. Well, my husband died a few months ago," said the doctor. "And I've just been working alot to keep busy."

"I'm so sorry," said Piper. She gave her a hug. "Is there anything I can do?"

Dr. Hightower gave a smile.

"Just," she paused and looked over at Leo, "Just make the most of what you have."

Piper smiled.

"Okay," said Dr. Hightower. "Let's check on the baby."

After the ultrasound, Dr. Hightower turned to them.

"Well, congratulations! You're having twins!"

"Oh my god!" said Piper.

She and Leo looked at each other. He just smiled.

"Well, either they're sharing a room, or we're moving," he laughed. Piper smiled.

"I hope it's one boy and one girl," said Piper.

They left and went home and waited for the kids to come home.
