Love Triumphant
Piper & Leo's Overdue Honeymoon
Chapter XXVIII
Music played softly in the background as Piper and Leo danced in the middle of a grass hut. "Remind me to thank Evander for showing me how to create our own private Hawaii," she sighed. I just wish he could have told me how to make a grass skirt that wasn't so itchy."
Leo grinned. Well you could always settle for the natural look that is my personal favorite. "Honey we can't stay naked all the time," she scolded gently. "Why not? We are completely alone for virtually the first time since we've known each other. There are no emergencies to deal with, no interrupting sisters, no feline fur to ruffle."
"Simply you and me and the trees here, Piper. And before you ask, no I don't think they have eyes." "So you say. Didn't you ever hear of an enchanted forest?" "You are hopeless," he groaned. "That's right. I'm hopelessly in love with you my dear husband," she said wrapping her arms around his neck. "What a wonderful thing to say," he whispered.
"It's only the truth," Piper replied. "Honey I don't want to break the mood here," she continued, "but can I ask you something?" "Anything, you know that." "I know you want a baby badly, however, I've been wondering if you would mind putting it off a bit? I mean as goddesses and gods we can choose to be any age we want through out our immortal lives. I understand that Aphrodite and Hephestaus, and Hercules and his wife Marianna are still having children and lord knows how old they are. It should be an extremely long time now before my biological clock runs out of time."
"Piper if I've been pressuring you I'm sorry. I just thought you wanted a baby as much as I? You're not changing your mind because of what you saw in that sickening hallucination are you? Piper, we've discussed this. We are not going to get divorced ever and I'd certainly never try and separate you from any child we have together."
She held up her hand to stop him. "Leo, I know the future life I thought I saw was a direct result of the hallucinogenic drugs and the twisted imaginations of some vile monsters. I was the one brainwashed by the Source too so I'm sort of an expert on these matters. It's simply that some of the issues the hallucinations dealt with raised red flags for me. Leo, you just finished saying it yourself. We love each other and are married but we've barely had any time together that was just yours and mine.
I think we have to have that so our marriage is sustained by the strongest foundation possible. Not only do we deserve that but so do any of our future children. There is so much on our plate right now as well and I don't want to be a mother whose attention is divided. When our babies are born I want to give them everything I possibly can. Do you understand that honey?
Leo held her tighter. "Of course I do. It's like Grams said about our wedding. When the time is right for us to have a baby we will know it in our hearts. He pulled back only far enough to kiss her. When the kiss ended, Piper opened her eyes and asked, "How did I get so lucky?" "It's simple! You're one of the Charmed Ones after all and my favorite to boot. "That's so nice to hear. As the middle sister I need to have my ego stroked on a more consistent basis." "That's what I'm here for dear so how about this one, you are like the best part of an Oreo cookie, the creamy, dreamy, center." "Keep it up sweet talker you're on the right track to becoming as charmed as I am."
Still dancing Leo maneuvered them over to the CD player that was over in the corner. He turned it up. "How about these words?" he asked as Celine sang:
"I saw your tears and I heard you cry.
All you need is time. Seek me and you shall find.
You have everything and you're still lonely.
It doesn't have to be this way. Let me show you a better day.
And then you will see the morning will come
And every day will burn bright as the sun.
So all of your fears cast them on me.
How can I make you see?"
"I'll be your cloud up in the sky.
I'll be your shoulder when you cry.
I hear your voices when you call me.
I am your angel.
And when all hope is gone I'm here.
No matter how far you are I'm near.
It makes no difference who you are.
I am your angel."
They both whispered "forever" as they clung to one another. "Do you think Phoebe is going to be mad I hooked her CD?" Piper asked. "We can always get her another one," Leo replied distractedly. "Besides I think Cole is probably keeping her too distracted to worry about missing CD's, and I plan on following his lead." Leo lifted his bride up in arms and laid her on their bed. He followed her down and within seconds everything but each other disappeared from their minds
