What do do now?
Piper is sitting at the kitchen table enjoying her second cup of coffee.
The sun is smiling at her through the window and falls on her smiling face.
She loved these early mornings.
Getting up early before Leo and her sisters.
And just enjoy her cup of coffee
It had sort of become a ritual to have this time to her self in the early morning hours.
To go through her thought and prepare for the hustle and bustle of the day.
Not to say she didn't like the joined breakfast time.
But sometimes she needed to be by herself for a little while.
And with four people in the house that could only happen late at night or very early in the morning.
Morning"
Piper jumped at the voice behind her.
Penny for your thoughts?…. phoebe smiled.
Or maybe a quarter, hey where are you?
Piper turns to see her younger sister standing by the coffee pot ,
Already pouring her self a cup of hot java
"Good morning" pheebs.
"What are you doing up so early" I thought you would at least sleep till noon .
Now, that the summer has started.
Nah…….Phoebe replied.
I have made a pledge that I am not wasting my summer away this year.
"Going away where this summer"? Piper heard another voice say.
She smiled it was just like Prue to walk in to a converation only over hearing half of what had been said.
"Morning Prue" she said
I thought you where spending the night with Brent last night.
Yeah me too ………. But we got in to a fight and I didn`t really want to stay after that.
Piper could hear Phoebe laughing
"Tjees Prue you really have been out of it for a while" …… have you.
Meaning what? Prue asked.
"The making up part" honey ………….. That is the best part Phoebe says still smiling.
Sure with a demon as a boy friend you should be an exp…….
Piper shot a look at her older Sister pleading with her to not go any further with that thought.
Prue got the hint and stopped mid sentence
"You where saying" Phoebe said with an under tone to her voice.
"Nothing sweetie" you know not to listen to me before I have had my first cup of coffee.
Why does Prue always do this it was not as if Cole had not made a complete turn around since his hay days as Beltashar.
"Morning ", as the last voice of the house pulled her out of her thoughts again.
"Morning honey", how did you sleep. Piper said with a grin on her face.
Knowing very well they hadn`t gotten to sleep till the early morning hours.
Leo walked over and kissed her on top of the head.
Very well my dear ……" but" this wild women kept attacking me .
LEO …Piper shouted as she turned around the blood already coloring her cheeks, and looking at her sisters to see if they had heard.
"Oh honey "they know we are still newlyweds Your sisters know what happens to newlyweds "don't you girls" Leo joked.
Well" knowing" it and hearing it" in detail" is another thing all together Piper whispers.
Leo just laughed and gave her a long kiss.
Hey "you guys get a room or something your killing me with all your cutie stuff over there. Phoebe says.
It was clear to see that see had not seen Cole for a while.
Phoebe felt a slap up side her head.
Quit that, they are in love and if they want to show that they can prue says.
"Ouch "phoebe grunted.
"Tjees maybe I should have stayed in bed" this morning and avoid all this abuse.
She picks u her cup of coffee looks and looks at Piper "I expect waffles when I come back down.
Then she heads out the kitchen door towards the stairs she yells.
Hey prue?
What?
Guess what?
What?
I get the first shower as she runs up the stairs.
Prue puts her cup on the counter and runs up the backstairs.
Leo pulls his wife back into his arms "that's why I take showers up there or with you.
My bet is on prue ……… Piper smiles as she leans in for a long lingering kiss.
She then pulls herself away from him.
Get out of here before the wild women returns she laughs
What would be wrong with that Leo replies.
As he starts a little trail of kisses down the side of her neck.
Hmmmmm …………. Maybe I should go upstairs with him for a little while.
"No stop that Leo" that tickels.
"Come on sweetie" you know you cant resist my charms. Leo "whispers "into her ear.
Ohh' Why the heck not Piper relents.
She lifts her head and looks at her husband" he is right she cant resist him and she never could .She then takes his hands and leads him out of the kitchen on to the stairs.
Just as they get to the stairs Leo stops and looks up.
Oh no, no, no " Piper says you cant do this to me Leo "
I am sorry " honey but they ' say I have to come "now" It has to be something big.
Yeah "sure it always is with them.
Even now that they where Married Piper' was not sure the Elders really approved.
It seemed that Leo got called out more and more as of late.
I promise I will make it up tonight Leo says, He then gives her a kiss and orbs out.
Piper turns on her heels and walks back in to the kitchen for another cup of coffee.
And once again alone with her thoughts .
I think I really need to have a talk with them.
Cause it is really getting out of hand Leo is gone more now then before we where Married.
It had even been so bad when she and her sisters had really needed him the elders had sent someone else.
Not only that she had to make them understand that now that they had approved of their wedding Leo and her needed some time alone once in a while.
Hey "where are my waffles "?
Once again her train of thought was disturbed.
Piper …….. Piper "man what is it with you today.
Do I need to give you a dollar before you tell me what has got you so busy this morning.
No" Pheebs you don't cause I`m not gonna tell yah.
Piper gets up and walks to the freezer opens the door …………
And hands Phoebe a frozen pack of waffles.
Whoa "what , ……. Pipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer .
What " Phoebe "? Piper grins as she walks to the back stairs.
"You said you wanted waffles" ……….. You never said you wanted them heated.
As she walks up the stairs she can hear her little sister banging the cupboards to find the Toaster .
She knew that phoebe had wanted her to make her famous Belgian waffles.
But she was not in the mood to make them today.
As she walks by the bathroom door she can hear Prue is still in the shower.
"Hey" Prue hurry up I have to be at P-3 before 11:00 Am an local band is coming to practice.
Prudence can you hear me …………
Yeah ,yeah, I can hear you give me five more minutes okay.
Five minutes is all I am giving you.
Piper smiled to her self she would give her big sister another thirty minutes.
She had plenty of time to get to P-3.
Thirty minutes later Piper knocks on the bathroom door.
No answer "good" she must be done piper thinks as she walks in to the bathroom.
But prue was not finished yet.
"Piper have you ever heard of knocking" before you come in.
"I am sorry prue" but I did knock and nobody answered.
"Well next time" knock harder prue sneers at her.
"Sure" prue what ever you want.
Piper looks at her sister as she gathers her stuff off the bathroom floor.
She can see that the bathroom towel is slipping and slowly it is revealing a bruise the size of a grapefruit.
Then she had not immagend it a few minutes ago.
"Oh honey" where did you get this at.
As she touches the bruise. Prue jumped as if piper had just poked her with a hot rod.
"Nowhere piper" I just slipped on some ice the other day.
Aha…… and when was that.
A few days ago "why"
Cause there hasn't been any ice for weeks prue..
Care to explain some more?
"Nope" it is none of your beeswax so leave it alone.
Prue one more question?
What? Piper, prue started to look pissed of.
What was your fight Brent about? She carefully studied her Sisters face for any emotion.
Nothing prue answered but her eyes where saying a million other things.
Piper watches as prue walks out of the bathroom.
O "man what to do now.
Prue was in trouble and she was not going to tell anybody.
Leo I could really use your help right now she whispers.
"You rang" Leo says.
"Don't do that Leo" make some noise when you orb in.
Scared me half to death piper says with her heart in her throat.
Piper what is the matter Leo asks with concern in his voice.
Piper looks at him he knows me so well she thinks.
All Leo can see is a single tear going down his wife cheek.
"Piper honey what is the matter" as he wipes the tear away.
Piper explains what had happened a few minutes ago.
………… And I think he has been hitting her Piper finishes.
"Piper are you sure about this". Yes I am.
But could she be telling the truth.
"Leo" tell me when was the last time it froze hard enough to form ice.
Your' right that was weeks ago.
May be it happened when you where fighting Tirano two weeks ago.
"No" that cant be piper responses.
Prue needed her bangs cut about a week ago and she had asked me to do it.
Cause she wanted to be sure that is was straight.
And since she didn't want to get any hair on her new wool sweater I made her take it off.
Leo"I am 99.9%that" that bruise was not there.
And we haven't fought when any demons or warlocks since.
So what do we do now?
You know she will never come to us and she sure as hell isn't going to Phoebe.
"Piper honey" maybe we should wait a few days and see how things go.
But Leo what if he hurts her again!
We have to give her chance to come to us" honey "and as hard as that sounds right now she has to find out for her self.
But " leo"
"No Butts sweetie", maybe it was just an accident.
We will keep an eye on her okay.
Okay she sighed but not totally convinced.
Leo gave her another kiss." Go take a shower" ill be in our room when you get out.
Piper clings herself to Leo
I am so glad that I have you and that you are so good to me.
Another tear going down her cheek.
Leo takes her chin and lifts her head. "I promise" I will never hurt you Piper.
And if Brent is really hurting prue he will have to deal with me.
He bents down, and kisses the tip of her nose.
"Thanks Leo" piper whispers as she crawls further in his arms.
Leo heads out of the bathroom and piper takes her shower.
Just as he reaches their room.
Prue comes out of hers.
As he looks at her he knows that piper is right.
Now that he thought of it prue had seemed sad for the last couple days.
Hiya prue "how is my favorite sister in law "
Prue looks up at him," fine" she says as she smiles at him.
Leo noticed that the smile did not reach her eyes as they always did.
Prue" something wrong he asks her .
No " why are you asking prue wants to know.
"No reason" he says. But prue somehow knows that piper talked to him about her suspicion.
Leo you can tell your wife and major buttinky that I am fine and that she needs to stay out of my buisness. Prue shouts.
As she storms down the hall." Prue that is not fair" Leo starts but he might as well be talking to the wall.
Since prue had already gone down the stairs.
Prue ………..Prue phone for you. Phoebe shouts down the basement stairs.
Who is it? She wants to know.
I only have three more pictures to develop and I want to get them done.
It is Brent "Phoebe replies.
"Okay hold on" ill be right there.
Prue cleans her hands and runs up the stairs taken two steps at a time.
When she gets upstairs she finds phoebe sitting at the kitchen table reading a magazine.
"Where is the phone? Pheebs.
"Over there" prue .
Where "it has always been.
But you said that Brent was on the phone.
Yeah I told him to call back since you had told me you wanted to get those pictures done.
You did what!!!! Why? I said I was coming.
"Okay "prue what is the big deal just call him back?
That is" not "the point phoebe you could have asked him to wait.
"All right" prue first of all I am not your secretary and second you said you wanted to finish those pictures.
So don't go blaming me. Phoebe says now really getting pissed of at prue.
"Well next time get me faster" prue sneers as she heads back to the basement.
"Oh how about this" next time you pick up the damn phone phoebe screams at her.
"Whoa what is going on here" piper says as she walks in the kitchen with Leo.
Nothing just prue" being her cheerful self again.
What is up with her these days she seems to be in a bad mood all the time.
Phoebe looks at piper and leo cause she is not getting a response.
What?
Piper knows that she has to tell phoebe but she doesn't know how.
Leo …. She whispers." I think you should tell her" honey.
I'll leave the two of you alone. He gives piper a kiss and phoebe a warm look.
"Spill piper" phoebe demands. I think you should sit down and promise me that you won't freak out.
Piper your scaring me "what " is going on with prue.
Piper sits down and takes phoebe's hand. You have to promise pheebs.
I promise I promise "now tell me".
Piper bends her had and starts to her little sister what had happened that morning.
When she is done she looks up and sees that phoebe has tears in her eyes.
"I know honey "come her as she pulls phoebe in to a hug.
Nope " I cant believe it phoebe says as she pulls her self out of pipers arms.
This is "prue" we are talking about "PRUE" piper she would never let this happen to her self.
I know it doesn't make any sense but all the signs are there. Piper states.
Her denial for one her mood swings her outbursts.
I mean "come on phoebe" I know you are not blind.
He just called here he was making jokes with me.
O god im going to be sick. How can he do this to her? How can she let him do this to her?
Phoebe walks to the basement door. "Whoa where are you going"?
To talk to prue of course phoebe says.
O no, no, you promised first of all and second what do you mean how could "she let him".
My god phoebe how can you say that. It is not her fault no matter what she has said or done no one deserves a bruise like that.
I know im sorry " I should not have said that.
It is just that she can fight demon and warlocks. She should be able to kick his butt phoebe says frustrated.
Kick who's butt? Piper has to smile despite the seriousness of it all.
Once again prue walks in to a conversation only half finished.
"Brittney spears" phoebe says fast.
Yeah she is too happy all the time don't you think? Piper picking up where phoebe left off.
Okay!! You guys really need to get a life prue smiles.
Looking at her piper gets a pain in her chest.
How can she not come to us with this?
If not her own sisters then who?
Heya prue feel like going on a shopping spree?
Yeah" great idea phoebe chimes in. prue looks at her sisters from one to the other and back. Why?
I know you have to be at P-3 in less than half an hour. And you have classes today.
Why? Go shopping. I thought we could use some "sister time together". Piper answered her question. "No" that is not why piper?
Why not say it out loud huh.
You have this idiotic notion that there is "something wrong" between Brent and me.
And I have told you there wasn't a tear is going down her cheek.
Then why are you "crying" phoebe" wants to know?
If you are sooo happy with him then why do you walk through the house like a bear whom has been woken up from hybronation.
Piper is looking at her sisters going at it. Phoebe never had a problem laying out the facts as they presented them selfs.
But what was bothering her was that prue wasn't putting up much of a fight and that wasn't like prue at all.
She was always ready to kick some ones bootie.
"I am crying" because my sisters don't trust me prue screams.
This jolted piper back to reality." It's not that we don't trust you prue".
We are worried "honey" you just don't seem to be your self these days.
If im" not" myself today it is because you and your husband keep hounding me.
Just leave me "alone". And now you have even got phoebe involved.
Prue turns around and walks in to the hallway. Piper and phoebe follow close behind.
Prue that is not fair you would do the same thing for me. Piper says.
Prue turns around and rubs her head in frustration. Piper "honey" if there was something wrong I would tell you I promise.
And" yes" if I thought that leo was hurting you of course I would help.
But if you would tell me you where fine I would respect that.
Why can't you do the same for me?
Because" you are not fine" prue that's why? Phoebe says softly.
Okay I have had it with the two of you. I told you I was fine so get out of my face and leave me alone for crying out loud.
I have to get ready I am meeting brent today as she looks at her sister with stare.
"Prue please don't go" I have a bad feeling about this. piper begs.
But prue just walks up the stairs ignoring both of her sisters.
"What are we going to do know now"? Piper says as she looks at Phoebe.
We can't just let her go.
"Yes piper " we can. I have to agree with Leo.
She has to find out for her self "even if it is going to be the hard way".
She then gives piper a hug and walks heads for the front door.
"Where are you going" piper wants to know.
"To school" she doesn't want me around so I might well go.
And you should go too, to P-3 I mean you need to get your mind on something else.
The front door closes and piper walks back in to the kitchen.
Just as she gets there Leo orbs back in.
" How did it go" leo wants to know as he puts his arms around her.
"It was so bad Leo " she won't even talk to me anymore.
Piper is letting her tears flow freely now.
"Where is phoebe"? Leo asked as he is looking around.
She went to school. Leo hears he is being called again. "Honey I have to go but I will be back as soon as I can.
"Yeah go ahead" I have to get ready anyway.
She gives him a kiss as he orbs out.
After Leo leaves piper is left alone in the kitchen.
"Wow" how your live can chance in just three hours. Just this morning they had all been in here laughing and making jokes.
And now prue wasn't even talking to her anymore.
Her cheeks where getting damp again. She never had a blow up like this with either one of her sisters. Now the two of them could really go at it and they had many times before.
She just didn't know ho to handle this.
She hears the front door slam shut. Meaning that prue had left the manor.
Again those damn tears prue hadn't even said goodbye that had never happened before.
"Okay piper" she says to her self.
If she doesn't care then neither should you.
She grabs her keys of the counter and heads out the back door.
And in to her car.
As she gets to the end of the driveway she has to slam on the brakes.
PHOEBE!!!!!! Are you out of your mind I could have run over you!
"Why are you still here" I thought you where at school?
"Yeah, yeah whatever". We have to get to prue.
"What do you mean phoebe" you just told me she had to find out for her self!
I had a premonition and it was bad Piper.
She really got hurt , Phoebe says in a small voice.
"Did you see where she was"? she is Brents.
"GET in phoebe GET in hurry!
Phoebe gets in the car and piper drives around the corner with her tires squaling.
