Chapter two
A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed, I'm happy you like it so far! Oh and go read "A Life Rekindled" by Alexis because it's a great story! :-D
"Paige, did you hear Piper and Leo last night?" Phoebe asked her youngest sister, pouring her a cup of coffee and refilling her own mug. "No…why?" Paige asked, it was no surprise she didn't her them, she usually slept like a rock and didn't her anything during the night; the product of being an only child most of her life and having a quiet house. Unlike the latter Halliwell sister, Paige had only realized she was a witch a few months ago. Coming into her powers as half witch and half whitelighter took some getting used to and she didn't know how to take Piper sometimes.
"Were they…fighting or having sex?" Paige asked a smile playing across her pale pink lips. "Hmm…fighting, definitely fighting" Phoebe answered. "About?" Paige prodded, stirring sugar into her coffee. "Well…something about Leo taking a trip to the elders and learning how to better protect us. I think he feels guilty about Prue's" Phoebe hesitated "Prue's death." "So what's the problem?" Paige asked, now pouring heaping spoonfuls of cream into her already over sweetened coffee. "Piper didn't want him to leave; I thought it was something major since Piper was crying, but-"Whoa, Piper crying?" Paige interrupted in surprise. "But by the time I went back to bed they were both laughing so I guess it was no biggie" "Then why are you telling me?" Page asked. "I don't know, I mean, they've fought before, but it was, I don't know, different." "Different?" Paige asked "Different how?" "Different weird, I can't really explain it, it was like there was something more bothering Piper" Phoebe answered, perplexed. "Well, here she comes, so let's ask her" Paige suggested, seeing Piper walk down the stairs, still in pajamas, even though it was almost eleven.
"Ask me what?" Piper asked Paige, yawning and grabbing herself a cup of coffee. "Oh, nothing" Phoebe said, smiling at Piper and tried to change the subject by asking "Do you want breakfast? Eggs? Bacon? Orange Juice? I could squeeze some!" Phoebe said cheerfully, giving Paige a don't-tell-her look. Piper looked up tiredly "What? No breakfast, thanks. I'll just grab a bagel on the way to work. But what did you want to ask me?" Piper eyed Paige suspiciously.
"Well," Paige started ignoring Phoebe, who kicked her under the table "Well, we were wondering what's up with you and Leo?" "Nothing, I'm, he's, we're fine" Piper said "Why, what did you hear?" Piper stared at Phoebe who shrugged and looked away. "Weren't you two fighting last night?" Paige asked. "No. No, we weren't fighting, we were... we were, discussing something" Piper said instantly. "Well for 'discussing' it was pretty loud. You woke me up, remember?' Phoebe interjected. "Phoebe, you're not helping" Piper growled at her, narrowing her eyes at Phoebe and Paige both. "All right fine, Leo and I were discussing, fighting, whatever, about Leo going to stay with the elders for a few days to sort of re-train as a whitelighter, and, not that its any of your business, I didn't think he should leave us" Piper took deep breath and when Paige opened her mouth to speak Piper glared at her and she promptly shut it again, waiting for Piper to continue. "We both decided that it would be best for Leo to go and he could always orb home if we needed him to." Piper finished resolutely, trying to convincing herself as much as Phoebe and Paige. "Now, if the interrogation is over, I think I'll go take a shower, I have to leave for P3 in 45 minutes." Then, without another word, Piper, coffee mug in hand, walked back up the stairs just as Leo was coming down, they stopped and kissed, then Piper went up the stairs.
Leo stopped in the doorway of the kitchen and waved to Phoebe and Page "See you later, I'm going to work" "Okay, bye Leo" Phoebe said, and Paige with a mouth full of coffee, waved good-bye. Leo orbed out.
Piper came down the stairs, now fully ready for work, dressed in black pants and a sleeveless red shirt, her hair pulled into a ponytail. "Hey you guys, I'm sorry if I was a little…" Piper trail off, unsure of what to call how she acted earlier. "Bitchy?" Phoebe joked "Overbearing?" Paige supplied. "Well, I was going to say mean, but those will do" Piper said, rolling her eyes and smiling. "I'm going to P3, I'll be back around six tonight" Piper grabbed her keys and turned around in the door frame "Later" she called and walked out.
