A/N: I'm sorry, I know this chapter's pure fluff. I swear the whole fic won't be like this. Don't worry, the real action starts within the next few chapters. Remember - the more you review, the faster I'll write!
Oh, one more thing: For those of you who haven't guessed it already, this fic was inspired by the song 'The Taste of Ink' by The Used. ::hugs the radio::

Piper lay in bed, exhausted but unable to sleep. She'd put the kids to bed a few hours ago, and then, out of things to distract her from her latest argument with Leo and the fact that he hadn't come back afterwords, she went back to her room and cried. When she finished she felt a bit better, despite her eyes being red and her face being splotchy, but she was still quite upset.
Leo orbed in. Piper lay still, giving no sign that she was awake. Thinking his wife was sleeping, Leo crawled gently into bed and lay down next to her, softly planting a kiss on her cheek.
"Why didn't you come back?" she asked, startling him.
"Baby, I'm so sorry." he said, stroking her hair. She moved closer to him, and he held her, kissing her cheek.
"I know you are," she said, "but lately it seems like all we do is fight about the same things over and over. I'm tired of it, and I've felt it for a while now."
"Are- Are you saying you want a divorce?" Leo asked, swallowing hard.
"No. I just.. I don't know." She willed herself not to cry. "I wasn't sure if you would come back."
"Of course I came back. I love you, Piper you know that." he said, surprised she'd even for a second thought otherwise.
"I know," she said quietly. She moved closer to him, and he held her until they fell asleep.
