Chapter Thirty

Leo and Piper had plan to spend the week out in the country with their children, Leo had taken the children horse back riding while Piper was at the stables waiting for them while sitting out in the sun, from afar she could see her husband and children coming back. While admiring the scene of her family she felt her baby kick, "Hey what are you doing?" Piper said to her belly, she placed her hand on were her baby kicked only to feel another kick, she smiled and then looked up to see her husband and children were back.

"Daddy can I go and pat the other horses," Matthew asked his father.

"O.K. but don't be too long it's nearly lunch."

"Can I go too Daddy?" Little Melinda asked.

"Yes you may sweetheart," Leo said as his children ran into the stables. Leo looked at Piper and walked over to her taking a seat next to her, Leo pulled Piper into his arms and place his hand over hers, "You know I was born here," Leo told Piper.

"Really."

"Yeah. I was thinking of sending Matthew and Melinda with Andy before the baby is born. I mean they are only little children and they wouldn't understand what's going on it's better if we keep them away."

"Well I have thought about it and you are right."

"Guess what?"

"What?" Piper asked.

"Mrs. Sidney is taking Matthew and Melinda to spend the night with her," Leo told Piper, Piper laughed, "So I guess that means we have the night to ourselves," Leo said kissing Piper on the lips.

"Hey, there is one thing I wanted to ask you?"

"What's that?" Leo asked.

"How come you're only 3 months older than Daniel?" Piper asked.

"Well my parents had an arranged marriage. While married to my mother my father had many affairs. My father wanted a son who one day would be come king, which is why he married my mother. Daniel's mother was a lady my father had an affair with. After years of a loveless marriage my mother left when I was eight I remember and she never came back. So I guess I was never a love child or anything, I wasn't special I was just a job for my mother which is why she left never looking back."

"Leo that doesn't mean anything, you were born to love me just like I was born to love you, and I have two beautiful children I share with you, they are what our love has given us. My family isn't prefect too. My father left when I was only little, he doesn't know about Phoebe."

"What about Paige then?"

"Paige is Ma and uncle Sam's daughter."

"You mean uncle Sam, Sam?"

"Yes, my sisters don't know, when I was 16 I over heard Ma and Grams fighting. I was to scared to tell anyone," Piper looked up at Leo, "And you're the only person I have told."

"16? You just remember something when you were 16," Leo said.

"I did... And I remember more..."

"Do you remember what happened to you the day you disappeared?"

Piper then remembered the flash she had of Milla pushing her out the window, did she really do that? Did Piper want to bring Milla up while they were away from home? "I don't remember that Leo," Piper said.

It was later that night and Leo and Piper were in each other arms just enjoying the peace and quite with out their to little children running around, they were in the living room talking, talking about the baby that would be here any time soon, "I remember when you were pregnant with Matthew and your mother made some mint green and orange booties for Matthew that I didn't like," Leo said as he hand was feeling his child kick.

"You mean you didn't like those?" Piper questioned.

"Like... well I didn't like them... because... I loved them Piper, your mother even made me a pair," Leo said trying to cover up his dislike for the booties. Piper laughed knowing Leo was lying, then they heard a knock. Leo got up, "You stay here," Leo said to Piper and went to answer the door.

"Andy, Hi. What are you doing here?" Leo asked to find Andy knocking on the door.

"Sorry to bother you Leo but this couldn't wait. Cole is missing."

"What do you mean?"

"He went to attend your uncle's business and never came back, he hasn't been heard of since then."

"O.K. I'm coming now," Leo said, he headed to the living room to get Piper, "Piper," Leo said to tell her what was going on.

"Leo who was at the door?" Piper asked getting up from the couch.

Leo stopped in this tracks looking at Piper, "It's nothing to worry about, I'll just be back in a sec," Leo said heading back to the door.

"Andy you go back home and get everything ready, I'm not going to tell Piper until tomorrow about Cole. She's pregnant and needs her rest. I'll join you tomorrow at noon," Leo told Andy.

"I understand, we can't search for him until tomorrow. When you come back I say send Piper and the children to her mother's house, I'm sending Prue there with Anita, with them being together we know they will be safe."

"O.K. then I'll see you tomorrow," Leo said then he went to see Piper.

"Leo what is going on?" Piper asked worried.

"It nothing to worry your pretty head about," Leo said as he walked up to Piper wrapping his arm around her and her stomach and kissing her on the neck. "Since our children are away why don't we make the most of it," Leo said taking Piper into the bed room. ;)
