*~*~*~*~*~*

Tyler sat in his office that afternoon looking out the window, thinking. It had been two weeks since Piper and he had engaged in a serious conversation about their future. He could still recall her sobs as she told him about how it had been for her, raising two girls. Although she had cried Tyler had seen the sparkle in her eye as she thought about the life she once had.

Tyler had tossed the conversation around in his mind for hours on end, trying to figure out what his best plan of action could be. He desperately wanted to start a life with Piper, but his psychological experence told him that she just wasn't ready to let go of her previous life.

The last few days had proven to be difficult as well. Jade was about to have her blessing into the Halliwell/Turner family and Phoebe seemed to be calling Piper day in and day out, trying to ask her for advice and such. Piper however wasn't really in the mood to hear more about Phoebe and her baby issues. It seemed to be making her depressed. Tyler tried reaching out to her, but she shut him down, always using the excuse that it was "that time of the month."

Tyler sighed and turned in his chair. He looked down at his desk to the picture of Piper. She had gone to a photographer to take these pictures, as a birthday present for him. Tyler could remember how happy she had been as he carefully opened the package.

"Surprise! What do you think? I got them done by a professional photographer. I thought you needed some better pictures of me in your office. Haha. That one of us on our first date wasn't really working for me…my hair was too frizzy." Piper had said, giggling.

Tyler had kissed her and thanked her a million times over. The next day she had even made it her duty to come to the office to see if Tyler had in fact placed the picture on his desk. When she saw that he had she got so excited and bubbly.

Tears began to form in Tyler's eyes as he thought back to that version of Piper, the happy one. He wished nothing more than to see that Piper come back to him. He missed her so. Now Piper was nothing but sad and quiet. She was the same Piper that had come to him less than seven months ago with a broken heart. She had sobbed to him about Leo, Melinda and Fae…telling him about how much they had meant to her, how much she missed them, how she felt she couldn't go on without them. And then somehow, just by talking to him this sad person had become happy. She had suddenly been filled with hope.

Tyler wondered if he could do it again…if he could help Piper become happy again. Maybe if he went home, cooked her a nice dinner, talked to her all night she would feel relieved of whatever it was she was holding inside.

Maybe if she were happy again Tyler would have the courage and the faith to ask her to marry him….

*~*~*~*~*~*

Piper walked towards the bedroom, a telephone up to her ear and a pile of laundry in her hands.

"Yes Phoebe…uh-huh. Tyler and I will get to the apartment nice and early…..don't worry Ben will be fine. We'll take care of him……uh-huh……sure" Piper said, trying to calm a sleep deprived and panicky Phoebe on the other end.

"Phoebe you have to relax honey. You sound all flustered. How about you go take a nap or something. Ben is out with Cole and Jade has been napping for over an hour now, you don't need to be up cleaning. Leave that to Cole, he's the husband after all." Piper continued, attempting to lighten the hectic situation.

"……alright, you okay now?…okay good……see you tomorrow, nice and early. Don't worry about a thing. Call Paige if ya need anything…..okay, okay ya got me, but seriously I think Paige wants to be involved in this, she isn't off camping or anything so call her. Haha…..alright I really gotta go…lots of laundry here. Okay…uh-huh….bye Phoebes….bye." Piper concluded, clicking the end button on the phone.

Phoebe could really get Piper's nerves in a whack. She had called her about a thousand times in the last hour to ask her a range of questions from "what should Ben wear tomorrow" to "do you think the salads should be put in the fridge". Piper had patiently listened to her rant and then had offered as best advice as she could, although she was really in no mood to help. She had been sort of out of it lately, ever since Jade had been born actually, but she knew that as big sister she had to keep her emotions at bay and just help the younger siblings; regardless of how pointless their problems seemed to be.

Picking up the last pile of laundry that lay on the bed she placed it in the appropriate drawer just as the telephone began to ring.

Picking it up Piper answered. "Phoebe! I told you to relax and stop worrying. Everything is going to be fine!……Tyler? Oh sorry, Phoebe has been calling non stop all day….what's up….me? laundry and cleaning the house……you want to what? You want me to go shopping for a brand new outfit for tomorrow?….spend as much as I need to?…you are joking right?….you aren't joking…." Piper said amazed.

She walked down the stairs to begin cleaning up the living room as Tyler continued to talk to her. She would have said something but she wasn't sure what to say. Tyler was never the kind of man that would send her off on a last minute, all you can spend, shopping spree. He was classier than that. He never liked to show his money and he especially hated to have Piper show it off for him. Whenever Piper went to buy herself an outfit she would bring credit not cash. So why would he all of a sudden change his mind?

"But Tyler…..Tyler are you okay? This isn't like you….Tyler….wait, but…." Piper tried to stop him but he was already giving her instructions on where she could find the money that she could use to purchase the dress.

"Okay I am going to your desk……uh-huh…..second drawer on the left. Hold on…."

Opening the drawer Piper fumbled around with the items in there, trying to find the manila envelope that held Tyler's paycheck for the last two weeks.

"Okay I found it…..yea….I opened it…..I see the money…..okay….okay bye." Piper said hanging up the phone.

She eyed the money and wondered if she should listen to Tyler and go shopping. She had been sort of out of it lately and nothing would help more than a little shopping, but she felt sort of guilty and she didn't really want to use it all. Grabbing $200 Piper put the rest back in the envelope.

"Oh wait…what drawer was it again?" Piper thought out loud. The drawers were closed once again and Piper, having been so dumbfounded, had forgotten what drawer Tyler had told her. Opening the top drawer on the right Piper placed the envelope in, but not before noticing the velvet box that sat inside.

She knew she shouldn't, but her curiosity got the best of her. Picking up the velvet box she played around with it in her hands. Could it in fact be an engagement ring? Could that be why Tyler wants her to go shopping…so that she would be out of the house and he could make a special dinner for her so that he could surprise her with a proposal? Piper's heart skipped as she went to open the box.

Creaking open Piper began to peer inside when she decided it best to not look. If Tyler wanted to propose Piper didn't want to have that knowing look in her eyes, like she knew it was coming all along. She would rather save some surprise for tonight.

Placing the box back in the drawer Piper went to get her keys….she had some shopping to do.
