Ben- Melinda's eighteen year old boyfriend
Leo and Piper sat in front of Melinda in stone silence. Finally Leo spoke. "Are you pregnant?" "No!" Melinda screamed. "Don't get me started!" Piper screamed back. "We are taking you to the doctor tomorrow!" "Why can't we just get a pregnacy test?" "No," Melinda stated," let's go to the doctor and let everyone know that my mom doesn't even trust me!" Melinda ran up the stairs. "We're not finished with you!" Piper yelled getting ready to follow after her. "No,let her go." Leo said after Melinda's door slammed. "What are we going to do with her?" Piper said as she slumped back down in her seat.

Melinda paced around her room waiting for someone or something. Finally she heard a light tap on her window. Melinda opened her door to see if her mother or father had appeared in the hallway and then opened up the window to let in her boyfriend. "I missed you." The young boy said as he entered. "I did too." The young boy and her kissed and sat down on the bed. "Ben,"Melinda said looking into his eyes," do you love me?" "Melinda...." Piper called as you heard her footsteps walking up the stairs. "You gotta go!" Melinda ushered Ben out of the window back onto the ledge closing the window just as her and Leo walked in.
"Can we talk to you?" Piper asked in a calm manner. "Yeah, sure." Melinda tried to hide Ben away from her parents as they sat down on her bed. "We- I- just wanted to apoligise for how I jumped to conclusions." Piper stated as Melinda stole a quick glance from the window. "I should trust you no matter who you are with. And, I just wanted to say I'm sorry." Piper said clasping her hands together. "It's okay," Melinda said as Ben outside tried to get his grip on a drainpipe,"you're just being good parents." "Good enough to get a hug?" Leo said looking at his young daughter a spitting image of Piper minus the pimples that she had in her younger days. "Yeah." Melinda signaled Ben to step back from her back as she slowly walked up and embraced her parents. Finally they unembraced. "If you need anything," Leo said," just call." Piper slowly closed the door behind as they left.
Melinda looked around the room trying to hear the footsteps of her parents. Then after about 30 seconds, she ran over to the window and opened the window for Ben. "Ready to go?" He asked as he popped his head in the window. "Yeah, sure." Melinda said as she put her right foot through the window. Then Piper and Leo burst back into the room just as Melinda was going to make her escape. "You!" Piper screamed as she pulled Melinda back into the room by her belt,"back in here! I knew I smelled aftershave!" Ben jumped of the the ledge and took the free fall expertly running down the street to his car parked around the corner.
