AUTHOR NOTES: This is just a drabble. I was trying to experiment and see if I could attempt to write Charmed.
PAIRING: None, but obviously its implied Piper/Leo since they are married and she's pregnant ;)
RATING: G
Paige gave her two sets of pajamas. Baby jammies and a silk nightgown for herself.
'To treat yourself after the baby,' she claimed. 'You'll need it then, when you can be all girly again.'
Phoebe gave her a pass to a beauty salon. It came with a note attached, which read, "To be used when we are evil free for once." Piper knew that would never happen. It never could. But it was a nice thought, all the same.
She got other things. Baby blankets, a diaper bag, bedding, clothing, shoes...everything she'd need to survive for years with a baby. Rattles, pacifiers, plush animals, Golden Books, fairy tales...
Everything.
It was chaotic, and fun, and just plain silly. They stuffed themselves silly. The food, unsurprisingly, was to die for. There was enough extra to last them months.
Leo stayed hidden in the kitchen, sneaking near the living room, every once in a while, and eavesdropping. Piper caught him a few times, but the girls refused to let him join in, and Leo just grinned and went back to his hiding places.
He later presented her with his own gifts, mostly for the Mommy-to-be. The theme rivaled Paige's, and Piper shared a secret giggle with the baby-to-be, wondering who bought whose gift.
And when everyone left, and there was nothing left but peace and quiet, and a silent thrill of victory of making it through the baby shower, she knew it was Prue. Always calm, and always the comforter. Always the last one to surprise her with something, yet nothing at all.
