Someone asked if I was chinese, I'm not but my best friend is and I find that both of a our cultures have a lot in common. The start of the story is really about a couple from my family back from about 150 years ago when they were living in India. The last three generation of my family we born out of India and I don't know what happened to the Raja's wife after she disappeared, I'm not sure if they found her, I think they did.

Chapter 23

It was later that night and Piper was in bed waiting for Leo who was getting changed, "What are you thinking about?" Leo asked as he got into bed with Piper.

"I was thinking if someone tried to kill you Leo, do you think it is not wise for you to go back to work?"

Leo thought for a while, "Well yes you are right Piper... But..."

"Maybe you should stay home for a while Leo. You have children, if it is not for your safety at least think about them. Matthew is only three years old and he once had lost his father, he should not have to go through that again," Piper said.

"Your right, maybe staying home for a while is a good idea."

A couple months had gone by life was good for the Wyatts. It was midday and Piper was in her bedroom folding clothes when she heard voices of little children laughing. She went to the balcony to see Leo in the garden with Matthew and Melinda playing on the grass.

"Piper you need anything?"

Piper turned around to see Sally, "Sally."

Sally walked over to see what Piper was looking at and laughed, "He loves those children more than life it's self," she said.

"He does."

"How have you been feeling Piper?" Sally asked.

"I am fine..."

"Have you told Leo?"

Piper looked at Sally confused, "You mean you know?"

"Piper I am a women, I know these things."

"I have not told him yet."

Sally nodded, "Well I am here if you needed anything, do not forget that," Sally said, Piper smiled at Sally as she left thinking she was such a nice lady.

It was a couple hours later and Piper went into the grounds to see what Leo and the children were doing. "Oh my Matthew, you can ride a horse?" Piper asked as she saw Matthew on a horse.

"Only when Daddy is helping me Mommy," Matthew said.

"He only rides with me, he is far to young to riding by himself," Leo said from behind. Leo walked up to Piper, "You still remember how to ride do you?"

"How do you think I got you home from the field when you were shot."

"Oh, well let me take you for a ride sweetheart," Leo said to Piper.

"Leo I can not."

"Why?" Leo asked as he picked Piper up in his arms and put her side ways on the horse and got up with her on the horse.

"Leo what about Matthew and Melinda?"

"John and Sally can look after them for a while."

"Leo please," Piper plead with her husband.

"Why? You use to love riding. I taught you how to ride myself."

"Leo I can not go riding because I am pregnant," Piper said in one go.

"What!" Leo said shocked, then at the corner of Leo's eye he saw Matthew fall off his horse, "Matthew!" Leo yelled as he got off and then carried Piper off the horse too. He ran to Matthew who was crying on the ground.

"Matthew," Piper said running to his side.

"Get Melinda in the house and call the doctor," Leo demanded Piper. Piper picked Melinda off the bench and went to get the doctor has Leo carried his little boy inside.
