"How do you know that?" Leo said, his brow furrowed in confusion, "You aren't supposed to spy on your whitelighters!"
"We had a source," the head whitelighter said indifferently, "But it doesn't matter how we found out, what matters is that we did. Do you know how much trouble you're in right now?"
Leo looked at the head elder, rage filling his eyes.
"I love Piper!" he shouted, his voice quavering, "I love her and I would marry her if you would get rid of this stupid rule and let me! And, I'm happy she's pregnant! It's a blessing. Not a consequence! This baby will be a powerful force of good. How could you not like that?!"
"How is she going to fight demons Leo?" the female elder said, tension filling her otherwise calm voice, "We do have reasons for making these rules. A witch and a whitelighter cannot have a successful working relationship and be together at the same time! And now, you've knocked one of your own charges up! We are going to have to do something about this Leo."
"No," Leo said, his voice hard, without any trace of his normal compassion, "Do not punish Piper. Punish me, don't hurt her."
"I'm sorry Leo," the head elder said, "You have left us with no other choice."
The head elder turned to his right and called out to a guard, "Summon the charmed ones!"
"No!" Leo said, striding toward the elders, "No! Punish me!"
Two guards quickly came over and grabbed Leo, holding his arms behind his back to keep him from moving.
In a matter of seconds a whirl of orbs appeared in the center of the room and there stood the Charmed Ones. Piper was clutching her stomach in nausea, while Prue and Phoebe stood dumbstruck beside her.
"Piper!" Leo yelled, straining against the men that held him, "PIPER!"
"Be silent Leo," the head elder said, and then he directed his words towards the Charmed Ones, "We have been informed of your disobedience and of your schemes to hide the relationship between Leo Wyatt and Piper Halliwell."
"Screw you!" Prue said vehemently, "I'm glad we helped Piper and Leo! At least then they could be happy!"
Piper straightened and looked straight at Leo, her eyes locked with his. When she spoke, her voice was loud and clear.
"You expect us to fight evil for you," Piper said, "And we do, all the time. We have vanquished scores of demons since we received our powers. We cannot use our powers for anything except fighting evil, and we don't. We do everything for the greater good, for you! And yet, after all that we do on a daily basis, you still will not let us be together. Don't we deserve to be happy?"
The room was silent after Piper spoke, an uneasy feeling was in the air. Then, finally, the head elder began to talk.
"Piper Haliwell," he said, his voice heavy and his face pained, "It is my duty to tell you your punishment. You will stay here for the remainder of your pregnancy. Because of the time difference we will keep you in a special place where it will not affect you or your life down on earth. You will not see Leo Wyatt, although he will remain your sister's whitelighter until after the birth, where the situation will be revaluated. You will see your sisters only when I deem it fit. This is my decision."
"No way," Pheobe said, her brown eyes filling with tears, "That's terrible! You are supposed to be a force of good!"
"She's right!" Prue said, her voice filled with rage, "You expect us to just stand by and let our sister stay here in this, this prison! Well, you've got the wrong witches buddy, you can kiss your precious Charmed Ones goodbye!"
"Silence!" the head elder roared, "Or I will not let you see your sister at all!"
"I need to see Leo!" Piper yelled, running towards her restrained boyfriend. Right before she reached him her body hit what seemed like an invisible barrier and she was slammed into the ground.
"What did you do!" Leo yelled, struggling to break free, "You idiots! You could have killed Piper and the baby!"
At his words pandemonium broke out. All the elders began to rapidly converse in the clicking language, their voices loud and heated. Leo finally managed to escape his captors and he ran to Piper's side.
"Are you ok?" he said frantically, holding his hands over her belly, "Any pain?"
"I'm fine Leo," Piper said, grabbing his hands, "I just got knocked on my ass by your bosses, that's all."
Leo smiled at this remark; it was such a typical thing for Piper to say. Without warning he pulled her into his arms and kissed her, his hands entwined in her silky hair.
Leo's action silenced the room, all of the elders stared at him and Piper with different emotions.
"That's it!" the head elder yelled in rage, "With good comes order, and with order come following the rules. Guards, separate Piper and Leo and place Piper in her new home. Her sisters will be given the chance to say goodbye in a few hours. Take Leo to the courtroom until we decide what to do with him. Now go!"
The guards took the orders and began to forcibly pry Leo and Piper apart.
"I love you Piper!" Leo yelled over the noise as he was wrenched away from her.
"I love you Leo!" Piper yelled, fighting tooth and nail to grasp his hand one last time before he was pulled away.
Tears streamed down Piper's cheeks as she collapsed into her sisters' waiting arms.
"I don't want to go," she sobbed into Prue's jacket, "Don't leave me, please don't leave me!"
