Piper awoke from her dream, startled. She heard the soft wails of her darling baby boy. Getting up, she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and rushed to his crib. She smiled at him, a soft tear forming. He was darling, absolutely darling, and she knew that Leo obviously adored him. How she wished for that little girl! She remembered when Prue, Phoebe, and herself went a decade into the future. She wanted that beautiful little girl, but she didn't want to be divorced either. [I] Put yourself in the future [/I], she scolded herself. [I] Not in the past. [/I]

She picked him up and nestled him in the crook of her shoulder, gently bouncing him up and down. His soft wails had softened down to a contented coo. [I] Maybe he has gotten used to me [/I], she smiled. Placing him back down in his crib, she headed back to her room for some well-needed sleep. She would have no idea what would awaken her in the morning.
