"Yes Matthew." Piper, four year old Matthew and two year old Melinda we outside picking flowers in the garden. It was a couple months later and it was a hot summer's afternoon.
"When will the baby be here?" Matthew asked his mother who had a little bump where her stomach was.
"In another four months Matthew."
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Melinda asked.
"I do not know honey, we just have to wait and see," Piper told her children.
"Ma, why does the baby have to live in your tummy?" Melinda asked, Piper laughed her children where full of questions.
"We have to Melinda, it is the rules," Matthew told his sister.
"Come here," Piper said as her children walked up to her, "Put your hand on mommy's tummy and you might feel you brother or sister." Melinda laughed as she place her little hand next to her brother's on her mother stomach, little did they know Leo was looking from behind.
"Helllooo," Matthew said to Piper's stomach.
"Ma ma can the baby hear us?" Melinda asked.
"Yes sweetheart," Piper said then felt a pair of strong arms wrap around her from behind as their hands made their way to her belly.
"Hi there little one, this is Daddy," Leo said from behind. Piper laughed and kissed Leo on the cheek.
"Daddy did you know there is a baby in Mommy's tummy?" Melinda asked.
"Yea I do honey, how do you think it got in there," Leo said.
"Leo," Piper said hitting him on his arm as he laughed.

It was later that night and Leo and Piper were in bed in each other arms. Piper turned to face Leo who was deep in thought. "What are you thinking about?" Piper asked.
"Just the children," Leo said as he rubbed Piper's belly, "Our third child is on the way."
"What are you hoping for a boy or a girl?" Piper asked.
"It does matter they will still be our baby," Leo said as he kissed Piper, Piper smiled back at him and snuggle close to Leo falling asleep...
"I do not know if there is more mud on your dress or in that garden," John joked to Piper.
Piper laughed, "Well I am done and now I am going to see what flowers I can plant."
"Piper," Leo said has he walked into the garden and saw Piper. Piper turned around "What happened to you?" Leo asked has he saw Piper with mud on her dress and on her cheeks too.
"I was working in the garden," Piper told Leo.
"I see."
"Do you need me?" Piper asked.
"No. I asked Sally where you were and she told me you were working in the garden," Leo said as he pull out napkin and gave it to Piper.
Piper wiped her cheeks, "Well as you can see I am nearly done I just need to plant some flowers."
"Well it is the season for Roses. I like Roses."
"Really. What color?" Piper asked.
"I always thought white Roses are beautiful. Listen I have to go now to attend some business matters. I will see you at dinner," Leo said.
"Fine."
"Bye," Leo said to Piper. "Bye John," Leo said.
"Bye Leo," John said.
Piper stood there for a while. Leo was so nice, kind and caring she thought, not because he had to be, he just was...
"Piper you're home," Leo said.
Piper turned around to see Leo, "About last night I am sorry I lost track of time," Leo looked and Piper then Sally he took Piper's hand and they walked away from Sally so he could talk to her.
"That is fine Piper. It is just I was a little worried about you that is all."
"You were?" Piper asked surprised and with a big smile on her face.
"Well I am your husband it is my job to," Leo said, then smile on Piper's face faded "I will let you finish your work and I will attended mine," Leo said as he walked off, "By the way nice pick, white Roses," Leo said and then he was gone.
Piper was angry "That is it I have had it with these white Roses. I am planting something else!" Piper said as she went back to her garden.
"As you wish," Sally said.
"No that is fine Sally I will do it myself. You do not have to waste your time on me."
"I never said I was Piper."
Nothing came out of Piper she was angry and just wanted to pull Leo's white Roses out of her garden...
"If I tell you it will not come true," Piper said lying on the grass next to Leo, then she got up. She was about to leave when Leo grabbed her hand and pulled her down, she landed on top on him on his chest.
"Where are you going?" He asked softly looking into her beautiful brown eyes.
Piper blushed looking away from him, "I am going to bed," Piper said, she got up and left, leaving Leo alone out in the garden...
"So I see you're my sister-in-law," Daniel said.
Piper got a fright and quickly turned around, "What are you doing here?"
"Well I just wanted to see my sister-in-law that is all."
"Well she does not want to see you!" Piper spat back at Daniel.
Daniel grabbed Piper's arm, "You will respect a royal lady!"
"Let me go! You're hurting me."
"You have quite a mouth lady." Daniel said right close up to her face, he then looked at Piper up and down.
"I can see why my brother wanted you for himself," Daniel said as he held onto Piper's arm tighter, he knew it was hurting her as the tears ran down her eyes and this made him happy.
"Piper!" They heard Leo yell.
"Saved my your husband I guess," Daniel said letting go of Piper and walked out. Piper touched her arm and it hurt from the way Daniel had grabbed it.
"Here you are?" Leo said as he walked into the study. Piper ran straight into his arms and started to cry, she was crying from the pain.
"What is wrong?" Leo asked as he rubbed her back.
"Where were you? You said you would be back by the afternoon!" Piper cried.
"I am sorry I got held up."
Piper pulled away from him, "No Leo, you can not do this to me. You can make promises while I sit here and worry about you!"
"I am sorry Piper," Leo said.
"I am going to bed!" Piper said, she threw the duster on his desk walked out...
Piper woke up gasping for air as tears ran down her cheeks, "Piper," Leo said as her sudden wake woke him up too, he then saw the tears running down her checks. "Honey is something wrong?" Leo asked as he pull her into his arms and lay back on the bed.
"My arm, it had a bruise on it...," where the words that came out of Piper's mouth.
"Bruise Piper?" Leo asked confused.
"Daniel did it, I was cleaning the study for you and you came home late. Daniel came to see me but for some reason I hated him, he grabbed my arm really tight and then you came so he left but it hurt and instead I yelled at you,"
"You mean that bruise you had was done by Daniel!" Leo asked streaming.
"Well yes..." Piper then looked at Leo who seemed angry, "but it was in my dream Leo."
"No Piper it was not a dream you did get a bruise on your arm once, this was when we first got married. You lied to me and told me you fell down," Leo said getting out of bed.
"Leo where are you going?" Piper asked worried.
"To kill Daniel."
