….Shocked, Prue and Phoebe stood stock-still for a second before Prue recovered slightly and turned her attention towards the soaking Piper. "Leo" Prue instructed, "Take Piper to the bathroom, Phoebe get some blankets for her." Phoebe and Leo did as instructed, Prue following Leo to the bathroom.
Once they are in the bathroom, Leo gently sets Piper down on a chair "Leo, could you go and get something for Piper to wear" Prue said, starting to help Piper remove her soaking wet clothes. Leo complied and hurried out of the room.
"Just want write note" Piper mumbled, beginning to cry again
"Shh honey, its Ok, you can write it later." Prue said, wrapping a towel around her sister and drying her off gently.
"Got the blankets" Phoebe said, running into the bathroom and shutting the door behind her, setting the blankets down on the table.
"Thanks Pheebs" Prue said, taking one of them and wrapping it around Piper. Opening her mouth, Piper started to speak but was interrupted when there was a knock on the bathroom door.
Phoebe walked to the door and opened it, but only slightly. "Thanks" She said as Leo handed her some dry clothes for Piper.
"I'll be downstairs", Leo said, and Phoebe nodded, closing the door again and turning to face Prue who was helping Piper put a jumper on. After Prue had finished with the jumper, Phoebe grabbed a pair of baggy soft pants and helped Piper to get them on, whilst Prue towel dried Piper's hair.
"S…sorry Phoebe" Piper said softly once she was dry and clothed and wrapped in a warm blanket.
"For what?" Phoebe asked, pulling Piper into her arms
"F…for not writing the letter" Piper said
"Piper, you can write that any time, don't worry" Phoebe said, "Now lets get you to bed - you've had a really big day and you must be tired"
Piper nodded silently, trying unsuccessfully to stifle a yawn. Using her powers, Prue lifted Piper up and carried her down the hallway to her bedroom. Setting Piper down on the bed and folding back the sheets, Prue and Phoebe tucked her in gently. Piper fell asleep in a matter of moments. Once she is asleep Prue and Phoebe headed down the stairs to where Leo was sitting on the sofa, waiting patiently, a deep frown imprinted on his face. Seeing them enter the room, he jumped up quickly.
"How is she?" Leo asked, his voice full of concern
"She's fine, sleeping now" Phoebe said
"Leo, I don't know how to thank you for finding her" Prue said
"Yeah, we were so scared." Phoebe said, "Where and how did you find her anyway?" she asked after a moments thought.
"I found her a few blocks down in an alleyway hiding behind a dumpster… I was orbing in to her location as a surprise for her…I haven't seen her for so long that I wanted to make it a surprise. I have been on a job so I had no idea…"Leo explained, faltering "Oh yeah I sensed she was alone before I did that" he added quickly, when he noticed Prue frowning at him.
There was a moment of silence.
"So where have you been?" Prue asked "We haven't seen you in months" Attempting to make conversation.
"I have been on an assignment, very top secret white lighter stuff" He explained "What's wrong with Piper?" He asked after another few more moments of silence.
"You don't know?" the sisters said in unison, astonished. Leo just shook his head, and then waited for the sisters to elaborate.
As briefly as they could, Prue and Phoebe explained Piper's condition to Leo, who did not interrupt, though it was clear that he was very upset.
"Why didn't they tell me?" Leo thought out loud once the sisters had finished telling him about Piper's condition. There was yet another moment of awkward silence, Prue and Phoebe unsure of what to say to Leo. Finally, Leo broke the silence "You two should get some rest, it's been a stressful day for you guys as well" he said comfortingly.
"Yeah, I guess your right." Prue said, nodding. Phoebe just yawned
"See you tomorrow?" Phoebe asked, both sisters standing up.
"Yes" Leo confirmed "Now go to bed. It's been a long day." He said
"Night Leo" Prue and Phoebe called as they headed up the stairs.
Once the sisters has reached the top of the stairs, Leo orbed out, a determined frown on his face, intending to face the elders.
