The next day Piper awoke feeling much better and after changing she bounded downstairs.

"Good morning" she said brightly to her sisters who were already sitting at the table with coffee and breakfast.

"How are you feeling?" asked Paige, "any better?"

"Much better thanks, I feel great!" smiled Piper, she had forgotten about Leo for the moment in her happiness of feeling better. "Oh yeah, thanks for looking after p3 last night Paige"

"No problem I had fun I love that club" said Paige. Just then the Phone rang and Piper went over and picked it up,

"Hello?" said Piper, there was a pause and then "Yes, this is Piper Halliwell" another pause "Oh thanks, that's great..................yes I feel much better today" a short pause then "Oh my gosh! Really? Wow! Thank you doctor, bye." The kitchen fell silent after Piper had hung up the phone until Phoebe asked

"What did he say?" Phoebe prodded eagerly and tentatively.

"Um, I, um can we talk later?" and with that she ran out of the kitchen thinking again about Leo. Paige looked at her remaining sister blankly and asked:

"What was that about?"

"I dunno but we should probably leave her alone until she wants to talk to us". Replied Phoebe.

Piper ran up the stairs and into her room, she didn't know weather to cry because Leo wasn't here or celebrate because they had accomplished something that they had wanted for a long time. She sat down on the bed and lay back trying to contemplate what had happened the doctor had told her that she was not sick at all, she was pregnant! 'What should I do?' she thought. She sat up,

"Leo!" She yelled, "Leo!" She started to sob then harder and harder "Leo!" She was in hysterics by the time Leo orbed in. He sat down next to her just held her for a while, just being in his arms calmed her slightly. Just then there was a knock on the door

"Piper, are you OK honey?" came Paige and Phoebe's worried voices from behind the door.

"It's OK girls," said Leo "She'll be OK" he finished, Piper was relaxing now but she just held Leo and lay into his arms. "Hush it's OK I'm here now" he said as he rocked her in his arms. Piper took a deep breath and her tears started to stop.

"Now what's wrong honey?" Asked Leo, Piper released Leo and started to speak

"I was just thinking of you after a call I got which reminds me I have to tell you about that call" she took another calming breath and continued "I've been feeling really sick on and off recently for a few weeks..."

"Really? Why didn't you tell me?" Leo interrupted

"You were busy and I didn't want to worry you" Piper replied tentatively "continuing on with what I was saying I was going to go to the doctor's yesterday when I collapsed and passed out that morning and..."

"Oh honey you should have called me then" said Leo as he held Piper again, she gladly accepted the support and relaxed into his arms, she moved her head so she could speak and continue.

"Anyway Pheebs called the doctor for me and he took some blood for testing and, well, and he called today and told me I-I-I'm, I'm oh Leo I'm pregnant!"

"Wow Piper that's great, then why were you crying?" Asked Leo

"Having a baby made me think of you and you have been doing heaps of white-lighter work recently and I missed you" Piper started to sob again and Leo held her closer and said

"Oh honey I'm sorry, have you told your sisters about the baby yet?"

"No. I wanted to tell you first seeing as we had been trying to have a baby for ages"

"Well why don't we go and tell them now?" asked Leo

"'Cause I don't wanna have to explain it all over again, maybe later, in case another charge needs you apart from your wife."

"Oh honey you know I can't help it."

"Yes I know but I still miss you when you are away for weeks on end."

"Sorry honey" he said as he kissed her forehead and held her close. They sat like that for a while until there was a knock on the door, which alerted them to the time it was 1p.m.! They had been sitting there for hours, this thought made Piper happier.

"Do you guys want lunch?" Asked Paige

"Yes please just a sec." Replied Piper and Leo instantly.
