Chapter 7

It was about a week later that everything kind of settled itself out and Piper finally found time to relax with her daughter. That whole week it had been pouring outside until that day it had finally decided to clear up. The sun was out and shining.

Piper decided that it would be a great idea to take Angie out for a picnic by the park. Of course Angie agreed, but demanded that Leo had to come with them. Piper couldn't object and why would she? She had to tell him anyways. The sooner the better.

Angie was playing by the slides with her mommy not very far away. Piper and Leo were laying on the picnic blanket chattering away about the weather. Piper was staring over by the playground keeping an eye on her daughter. Leo looked over her shoulder and asked, "She's beautiful, isn't she?" Piper nodded and thought, why wouldn't she be? She's ours. Why was it so hard to tell him?

"You did the right thing when you said good-bye to Tony," Leo continued. Piper turned to look at him. "I'm sorry. You probably didn't want to be reminded of that," Leo apologized. Piper said, "It's fine, and your right. I should've have listened to you. He never loved me or even cared. If only I can turn things right again." Leo insisted, "You can. It's not too late." Piper stated, "Maybe it isn't."

Leo eyed her carefully and asked, "Is there something you have to tell me?" Piper hesitated for a minute. "No, why do you ask?" Leo answered, "I can see it in your eyes. You'll be surprised how many things it tells me a day just by looking into them." Piper looked away from him afraid that she might give herself away.

Cupping Piper's chin, Leo turned her face to him. "What is it? You seem more worried then you have to be," Leo stated. Piper replied, "It's about Angie." Leo asked, "What about Angie? She's not sick or anything right?" Piper shook her head and answered, "No, she's not sick or anything like that. She's just...not who you think she is." Leo was quite baffled a bit. He had absolutely no idea what Piper was talking about. "Okay, then who is she?," Leo asked trying to make some sense out of what she was saying.

Hesitantly, Piper answered. She knew that he had the right to know who Angie really was. It was the only right thing to do. Even if he rejects it all, but he wouldn't, would he?

"Angie's special," Piper started to say. "Of course she is. She's a witch," Leo stated the obvious. "Yeah, that and the fact that she's also half whitelighter," Piper said. Leo asked, "Half whitelighter? How could that be?"

"The week before my wedding, I had that rehearsal dinner at the manor. Tony couldn't attend because he was away on a business trip. I was in my room when you orbed in. You do remember, don't you?," Piper asked. Leo answered, "Yes. Of course I remember. I also remembered what happened in the bedroom. You regret it, don't you?" Piper smiled and replied, "No, not a moment of it. You see, where I'm getting at is we conceived a child that night."

Leo's expression gave no doubt that he now understood what Piper meant to say all along. "Your saying that Angie is mine?," Leo asked. Piper nodded in response and explained, "The envelope that you were so curious about was the results of Angie's DNA test. She's really your daughter."

From the distance, Leo watched Angie played. Her summer dress floating around her and the smile that was always upon her face. He finally saw the resemblance between them and that Angie was really his daughter. That should explain the difference in eye color. Piper had brown eyes and Tony had blue eyes. Brown and blue don't make green. How could he have never seen that before?

"Say something," Piper stated hoping he wasn't mad. "I believe you, and I'm not mad at you," Leo told her. "So, what do we do now?" Piper asked. Leo answered, "We could start over. Me, you, and Angie. That is if you still love me."

"What's not to love?" Piper questioned pulling him in for a kiss. Leo's heart danced around on tiptoes as he felt himself falling for her all over again. It was a great feeling. One that couldn't be explain but only felt.

Their lips met delicately upon each others , finding embrace in each others arms once again.

"Mommy! Mommy!" Angie called out running up to the spot where Piper and Leo was. Angie stopped when she saw them kissing. Leo saw and pulled away from Piper suddenly. They turned and looked at Angie nervously.

Angie giggled and asked, "Mommy, why did you kiss Leo?" Piper answered, "We weren't kissing. We were discussing some issues. Come here, I have something to tell you." Angie went to sit down on her mother's lap and stared at Piper curiously. Leo handed her a grape which Angie took and placed it in her mouth.

"There's no easy way to tell you this. Your too young to understand even if I explain. Your dad isn't really your dad," Piper said hoping not to confuse her. "What do you mean daddy's not dad? He's always been dad," Angie stated taking another grape from Leo. Piper searched for some easy way to explain it to Angie. Leo stated, "Piper this is just too soon. She needs to adjust. It doesn't matter if she calls me dad or not."

Listening closely to Leo talk, Angie understood what he was saying. "You mean your my daddy?" Angie asked. "Yes, I'm your father," Leo stated offering a smile. Angie jumped in his arms and said, "That means I can see you whenever I want." Leo hugged his daughter close and said, "That's right. Were going to finally live together. Does that make you happy?" Angie nodded and asked, "You'll promise to come home to mommy and me right? You won't stay away long right?" Leo answered, "Of course I'll come home. I'll be home every night to tuck you in. Don't you worry." Angie asked, "You'll take care of mommy, won't you? And you'll never hit her?" Leo replied, "I could never hit her, Angie."

Angie smiled and said, "You really do love her." Leo said, "Of course I do. And you know who else I love?" Angie asked, "Who? It's me, isn't it?" Leo said, "No, a snail." Angie asked, "a snail?! You love a snail?" Leo nodded and laughed. "I'm just joking. I love you," Leo said tossing her up in the air.

"So, is there anything else you would like to have?" Leo asked holding her in his arms. "Well, there is one thing," Angie said. "Well, what's that? A toy perhaps?" Leo questioned. "It's not a toy," Angie stated giggling. "Well, honey, what is it?" Piper asked.

Angie smiled at her parents and then replied, "I want a little brother or sister. Can I have one?" Leo and Piper stared at each other and smiled. Her sisters were never going to hear the end of this one.

THE END!!!

Whew! Finally I'm through. I hope that wasn't a major cliffhanger for some people, but I'm only going to write a sequel if a lot of people are demanding it. Well, I hope you guys weren't confused or anything throughout the story. Now, that it's finish I'm hoping a lot more people would review and tell me if you want a sequel or not. If you do want a sequel tell me what you would like to see happen in it or what the rating should be. My work is done here. I enjoy writing this fic a lot. Thanks!
