-:-

It was the next day and Piper went back to the fruit stand in hope to meet this lady, she made some excuse to Leo she was visiting her mother while he stayed at home looking after the children. It was a bit after noon and Piper search until she saw the women again. "Excuse me!' Piper yelled.

"Yes may I help you," the older lady said as she turned around surprised that this lady called for her.

"Umm listen we need to to talk."

"I'm sorry do I know you?" The lady asked.

"No, but you seem to know me, and you know my husband, Leo, King Leonardo Wyatt?"

"I'm sorry I don't know what you are talking about."

"You wrote a letter to me asking me to meet you, but instead my husband came. I didn't send him, truth is I never got your letter until later, Leo doesn't know I know about the letter."

"I'm sorry but I can not help you Queen Piper," the lady said and then walked away.

"Oh yes you will!" Piper demanded as she grabbed the women's arm, "If you know anything about my husband, my children or any of my family that I should know you have to tell me..."

-:-

"How many sugars do you take in your tea?" the lady asked Piper.

"Just one," Piper said as they were at the lady's house.

They lady took a seat across from Piper at the table handing her over her tea. "I heard you gave birth to another child not long ago."

"Yes, four months ago a baby boy," Piper told the lady.

"So you have two sons now?"

"Yes, two sons and a daughter."

"A daughter? I didn't know the King also had a daughter."

"Yes, she was our second child," Piper said.

Then the old lady took Piper's hand looking at the palm of it, "Your palm reads you will be having quite a number of children."

"Do you know how many?"

"It's a lot," the lady said letting go of Piper hand, "Your husband loves your very much."

"I feel the same way about him too."

"He's lucky to have you Piper."

"How do you know? You don't even know me."

"Well you know these things. The King is a lot like his father."

"You mean you knew my father - in - law?"

"Yes there was a time I knew him and Leo."

"How do you know my husband?" Piper asked.

"Oh none of that matters now Piper this was years ago."

"I'm sorry but I do not even know your name?"

"It's Elizabeth."

"Elizabeth, what was it you wanted to tell me?"

"Piper the family you're married into is not what you think."

"You mean they have secrets, doesn't every family have secrets."

"Piper these are secret that even the King doesn't know, he been lied to all his life about his family."

"Wait how do you know all of this?" Piper asked then there was a knock at the door.

Elizabeth went to answer it, "What are you doing here?" she asked her visitor.

"I've come to say I'm sorry about yesterday, I had no right to talk to you like that," Leo said taking a step inside... "What are you doing here?" Leo asked after seeing his wife.

"Leo, I could ask you the same thing," Piper said.

"You told me you were going to your mother's house."

"I told you that so you didn't know where I was really going. Leo what's going on?"

Leo looked at Elizabeth, "She doesn't know?"

"No she doesn't Leo." Elizabeth said.

Piper got out of her seat and walked over to her husband, "Leo?"

"Piper... Elizabeth is your mother - in - law," Leo told his wife.

Piper turned around and looked at the lady in shock.

-:-

"You're going to tell me what is going on Leo!" Piper said to her husband as they got home.

Leo sat at his desk in the study as Piper walked over standing in front of him angry.

"Looks like the King and Queen are fighting," Milla laughed along with Daniel and Devon.

"You know I'm angry at you for visiting her behind my back," Leo said as he looked up at his wife not with anger but love in his eyes.

"Leo if you didn't hide my mail..."

"I only did that because I didn't want you to know."

"Know what Leo?"

"That my mother was also a hore just like my father."

Piper moved over to Leo sitting on the desk with her legs between Leo's, "Leo what ever your parents did has nothing to do with us," Piper said.

Leo looked up at his wife, he resting his arms on her laps moving forward toward her, "Piper I lied to you. I told you I've never seen my mother since I was eight years old. Truth is I've been visiting her since I was 16."

"Why did you hide it Leo?"

"Because I was afraid people might think I was like her, well I didn't care what people thought what matters to me is what your thought."

Leo she's your mother, so what you deny something's, don't we all. I know we don't that the perfect marriage but we like to say we do," Piper said.

Leo laughed then pulled Piper into his laps, "Thank you," Leo said kissing her.

"I was at the market yesterday with Prue when you visited her. You where angry at her, why Leo?"

"I found my mother when I was 16 but before we got married I decided it was best I didn't see her anymore in case you thought I was like her. I don't know it's just I didn't want that to be part of my life but what ever I say I'm still her son."

"You know you worry to much Leo. I think your the most perfect man in the world."

"I am not."

"Well you are to me and I'm so lucky to have you," Piper said resting her head on Leo's neck breathing in his scent.

"You know you're perfect too," Leo said kissing Piper's forehead.

"I know that," Piper said as Leo laughed.

"Hi Handsome," Elizabeth said as she visits the grave of her late husband. "I'm so sorry I left you and our son. You might not understand but it was for the best Christian, I did it because I was afraid the truth might really hurt you, but I want you to know there as never been a day that goes by where I never think of you. Our son, he's all grown up now and a father himself, it's just like I told it would be when he was little, he would find his soul mate and he did and they have three beautiful children together, I feel so proud I don't know why I just do. I remember seeing him and his wife together quite a few time in the market or around they seem so much in love just like we were, I just hope their fate isn't the same as ours Christian... I love you and I always will." Elizabeth said placing the flowers on his grave and left.

-:-

"Hi Handsome," Piper said as she walked into the study over to her husband.

"Hey Beautiful," Leo said as he pulled Piper in his arms and they started kissing.

"Ewww," they heard two little voices say, they stopped and turned around to see their son and daughter standing at the door way.

"Mommy, Daddy, we are ready for breakfast," Matthew said.

"You to go to the dinning room and Mommy and Daddy will be there soon," Leo said then Matthew and Melinda ran to the dinning room as Leo and Piper carried on kissing.

"I was thinking..." Piper said as she broke from their kiss.

"Now. Can't you think later?" Leo joked acting a little disappointed.

Piper laughed, "No it can't wait honey. So as I was saying I was think maybe it's time Elizabeth got to know her grandchildren."

"And you're fine with this?" Leo asked, deep down inside he really wanted this but wasn't sure is Piper would allow it.

"Yes," Piper said kissing Leo.

-:-

"No, I don't want to."

"You don't want to know your own grandchildren?" Leo asked, him and Piper had come to visit Elizabeth.

"It's not that Leo, I just don't want to open a can of worms the I have tried so hard to keep shut."

"Elizabeth, they are your grandchildren, this would just mean so much to me and Leo," Piper said.

"Mom what are you hiding from us?" Leo asked.

"It's nothing Leo," Elizabeth said as she faced the window.

"Then why won't you at the least visit my children?"

Elizabeth stood there quietly she really want to see her grandchildren more than anything in the word... "I'll come to visit them then," Elizabeth said.
