Exes
Patrick: 3 ½
Melinda: 7 months
~Leo's POV~
"Leo wake up," I heard Piper say and I could hear crying in the background, "She's not gonna stop," I opened my eyes to see Piper sitting there rocking Mel trying to get her to calm down.
"Well then let's get a bottle," I said standing, Piper soon followed, Patrick met us at the top of the stairs.
"I'm hungry," Patty said as I leaned down to his level.
"Well climb on," I said as he climbed on my back, "Might as well make it a family thing." Looking at the clock when we got to the kitchen, I noticed Mel had good timing it was 7 a.m. and we were supposed to be meeting Glen's family today, since they couldn't make it to the wedding.
"Okay, I'll take the screamer," Piper said pulling a bottle out of the fridge, "You make cereal," Piper ordered handing me bowls and spoons, she was quite amazing taking care of Pat and Mel, still finding time to run a club and be a wife.
"Yes, Ma'am, Patrick sit still," I said placing a bowl of cereal in front of him as he bounced and danced around, he quickly gulped down the whole bowl before running off. "Well I guess he was done," I said putting his empty bowl and my mostly empty bowl into the sink.
"Leo I have to have a shower can you finish this?" Piper asked handing me Mel and then taking off. "Sure, now let's go find your brother," I said looking down at Mel who was already on her way back to dreamland.
"Patrick, we've got to get dressed," I said walking into the living room where he had found something to play with. After putting Mel down and grabbing the monitor, I followed Patrick back to his room.
"Okay, so how about we put on your big brother shirt?" I pulled off his nightshirt, putting on jean shorts, his t-shirt, and then putting his tennis shoes on. "Okay you can go back and play, but don't make a mess," I yelled as he dashed back to the door.
I went to get myself dressed and then dressed Mel in her little pink sundress; I went downstairs placing Mel in her playpen. Patrick came to sit in front of me with his matchbox cars; I turned on the TV to catch the morning news, nothing interesting. The weather looked up, nice and sunny, which was a good because we were spending the day at Golden Gate Park.
"Okay, I'm glad you are all dressed, now Leo you have to pack the diaper bag while I make Patty a sandwich," Piper stated moving towards the kitchen.
Quickly packing extra diapers, and an extra outfit, I followed Piper to the kitchen grabbing two bottles and two juice boxes, setting them down, Piper put Pat's sandwich in and we were soon on our way.
~Piper's POV~
We were the last one's there which wasn't surprising we seemed to always be running late these days, "Leo, I need to talk to Paige," I said walking towards Glen who had managed to snag a picnic table, leaving Leo holding a carrier with Mel still asleep his other hand holding Patrick's so he wouldn't run off anywhere.
I finally found Paige she was busy talking to some one, "Paige did you just run off and leave Glen?" I joked coming up to her.
"I would know that voice anywhere," The person she was talking to said turning around, it took me a while to recognize the man with a buzz cut and a goatee but under it all there he was, Dan, "Piper, what are you doing here?"
"Uh, Paige is my sister, why are you here?" I asked feeling like a complete idiot.
"Glen and I were in Africa together we shared the same hut for almost a year," Dan said just then Patty came up bumping into me he was running away from Glen.
"Patty, you can't hide I'm gonna get you," Glen said picking him up and running off.
"Mommy save me," Patty yelled from over Glen's shoulder.
"Ask Daddy," I yelled turning back to Dan who looked shocked.
"Hey Mommy, somebody's not happy," Leo said coming to me with a crying Mel in one arm and a bottle in his other hand. She calmed when she saw me and even stopped her crying when Leo handed her to me, "Hey Mel, see that's what you wanted," Leo leaned down to kiss her head catching my lips before standing straight again.
"Leo could you go save Patrick from Glen, before he tickles him to death," I joked pointing to the direction they had just run off to. He kissed me running toward where I had pointed.
"Wow, look at you, look at her she's beautiful," Dan said looking at Mel who was now giggling happily.
"Yeah, well that's what, five glorious years of marriage and two wonderful children will do to you," I said, I know I looked like an idiot aglow.
"Well I didn't think you and Leo would ever make it," Dan said as we went to sit down, "You know I was gonna stop bye and see you, since I was here."
"Good thing I still live at the manor, you know Paige and Glen live in your old house, and Phoebe and Cole live across town," I said just making small talk.
"So Prue lives at the manor with you and your family?" He asked as Leo and Patrick walked up.
"Umm, No Prue died a few years ago," I said kind of backing away now.
"Mommy, Prue's not dead she's with Aunt Beebee and Uncle Cole," Patty said looking up at me, lifting his arms up to Leo.
"Not that Prue, Patty, your Aunt Prue," Leo said explaining the situation, as best he could, "Hey, Dan it's been awhile, hasn't it?"
"Yeah, looks like you've been busy, with is it Patty and Mel?" Dan asked, "I'm sorry about your loss."
"Patrick Leonardo Halliwell-Wyatt, and Melinda Prudence Halliwell-Wyatt, 3 ½ and 7 months," I stated as Phoebe walked up.
"My gosh Daniel Gordon is that you? What happened to your hair?" Phoebe said giving him a hug.
"Ah, needed to get rid of the dreads I grew while I was in Africa, the goatee came from the beard, I decided I didn't want to go complete cold turkey," Dan said running his hand over the dark hair that covered his face, "I hear you're married with a daughter."
"Yep, Cole and I are very happy, our daughter Prue is 1 ½, so I guess you know," Phoebe said looking down at her feet.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, I should've been here, I mean I'm still your friend right?" Phoebe nodded and Leo and I walked off leaving them to catch up even though there was still a lot between us.
~Leo's POV~
"So do you think Dan was shocked?" I asked crawling into bed behind Piper who was just as beat as I was.
"Probably, but hey were a happy family nothing could change that now," Piper said snuggling closer to me, "and besides, I knew when I chose you this is where we would end up, as a great family of our magic."
"Um, me too, I love you goodnight," I said kissing her forehead gently.
"Love you too, good night," she said resting her head and slowly drifting to sleep.
