A/N: Sorry it took me so long to post chapter 3. I was sick when I started
whiting this story, and now, good for me, but unfortunate for the story,
I'm better! I'll keep the chapters coming as fast as I can. I'm juggling a
lot right now. ( Also if you haven't noticed already, each chapter is a
quote form a past episode...)
-:- One Week Later
"Piper?" Phoebe yelled running down the stairs "Have you seen my car keys? I'm gonna be late!!!"
Phoebe ran past her sister who was sitting in the sunroom playing with Wyatt. Piper turned to her sister and said in reply "Try the key rack!" Piper smiled and turned back to Wyatt.
Phoebe came in holding her keys out in her hand. "Found them!" she announced. She walked over to her sister and her nephew and kneeled down next to them. "Huh?" she announced looking at Wyatt carefully.
"What?" Piper asked looking from her sister to her son.
"It is nothing really." Phoebe replied still looking at her nephew intensely.
"Phoebe, what is it?" Piper asked, now getting a little impatient.
"I just have never noticed before how much Wyatt looks like Prue. They have the same eyes. I have never seen it before."
Piper turned to her son and looked into his eyes while he just sat there with a playful grin on his face. "Yeah." Piper said turning her attention back to her sister. "He really does, doesn't he?" Piper smiled at the great memories of her elder sister who had past away a few years back.
"Doesn't he what?" asked Paige who had just entered the room in her pajamas. She was carrying the ever-growing Book Of Shadows, which held all the demon info they would ever need.
"Have Prue's eyes." Phoebe said acknowledging that her little sister had entered. It still felt weird to Phoebe to call Paige her little sister. She had always been the baby of the family, and honestly, she enjoyed it. She could be the lazy, laid back one who didn't have to worry about anything. Now she was the middle sister, the mediator. A role she was not too eager to take on. But she tried hard to adjust. It just felt weird know that she was never really the baby and she had a little sister.
"I wouldn't know..." Paige said with a tone of disappointment in her voice. She loved her sisters to death and she was beyond grateful for them, but she still felt left out when they would talk bout their childhood and their memories with Prue. Because honestly, she wished that she could have been a part of it.
"Don't worry honey." Piper said still admiring her son's bright blue eyes.
"Okay." Phoebe said standing up. " I'm gonna be really late if I don't get outa here." She gave Wyatt a kiss on the top of his head and she did the same to Piper and Paige. Then she headed out to work.
Piper picked up Wyatt and held him on her waist. "Okay Honey, now even though I don't agree, Daddy wants you to practice your powers. So you orb to find me. Okay?"
"You know Piper." Paige said looking at her sister. "He is only a year old. I don't know if he understands what you are saying."
"Of course he does. He is the most powerful child ever. I think that he can understand anything that I say."
"Okay..." Paige replied. Just then Leo orbed in with a huge bouquet of red roses and handed them to Piper. Then he leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips.
"Well, hello to you too!" Piper exclaimed kissing him back. She loved his touch. She couldn't even believe that she went for months without it. "What's the occasion?" she asked wrapping her arms around his waist.
"You don't remember?" Leo asked almost laughing. Piper shook her head. Leo acknowledging that Paige was there leaned over and whispered in his wife's ear.
"Oh yeah...." Piper said starting to laugh as well "Yeah...That was fun..." she replied snuggling her face into Leo's muscular chest.
"Ewe..." Paige said under he breath. Leo just smiled at her with a goofy grin on his face. Paige turned to Wyatt and said in a kid-ish voice, "See Sweetie. That's how you were made!"
"Paige!!!" Piper scolded with somewhat of an amused smile on her face.
"What?" Leo asked rubbing Piper's back "She's right..."
" Well, I know but that is not the point... The point is that our son is less that 5 feet away!" Piper said. Wyatt just sat there playing with his teddy bear smiling.
"See," Paige said observing Wyatt. "He has no idea. But I have to go upstairs and get ready for my date with Richard."
"Alright." Piper said "I'll most likely be gone when you leave, because I'm going to the club today. Inventory."
"Okay, well, then I'll see you when I get home." Paige replied and headed up the stairs.
"So are you taking Wyatt to the club with you?" Leo asked.
"Yeah, Darryl is working all day today and Shelia is sick, so he gets to spend the day with Mommy!" Piper said going to pick up her baby boy. She started to tickle his stomach witch made him giggle and squirm in her arms.
"You know Piper." Leo said, "He looks just like you. He has your chin." He said touching his son's small face.
"Yeah, but he has your cute little nose!" Piper said poking Leo's nose. "And Prue's eye's" she continued
"Yeah. I noticed that a while ago." Leo said.
"Then why didn't you say anything? They are the most beautiful eyes ever." Piper said wondering the reasoning behind her husbands' thoughts.
"Well, I didn't want to make you upset. I see what happens to you whenever anyone mentions Prue. I didn't want to do that to you. Tears well up in your eyes and all the color drains from your face. Then you put your head down to your chest trying to hide the sadness." Leo looked at Piper who was doing exactly what he just described. Leo put his hand below her chin and lifted to see her pale face. "I just didn't want to hurt you." He said using his other hand to wipe a tear from her face.
"Leo, I just miss her so much. It's been almost three years and I still feel an empty space inside." Piper said putting Wyatt back in his playpen so he wouldn't see her cry. "I just want that feeling to go away."
Leo embraced Piper in a comforting hug stroking her hair. Piper's body began to shake under Leo's arms. Leo led her over to the couch in the parlor. And sat her down on his lap. Still stroking her hair with one hand and rubbing her back with the other. She leaned her head against his shoulder and began to settle down. When she finally pulled her face out of Leo's shoulder it was red and tear-stained. He lightly kissed her cheek and gave her a comforting look.
"It is okay Baby, it's okay. I know you miss her incredibly, and so do I. She was one of my favorite people in the world. I miss her everyday. I just thank God that I didn't loose you too. Prue was you big sister, and I know how it feels to loose a sibling. I never told anyone this because it hurt too much, but I had a brother. His name was Jake. He was three years older than me and I looked up to him more than anything in the world. I would follow him and his friends around trying to be cool. I loved him so much. Then one night, I was 14, he was 17, and there was a fire in out house. He took my two sisters and me out of the house. Or at least he though he did. As he pushed my 10 year old sister, May, and I out the front door. Only to realize when we got out that he had let go of the hand of my 7-year-old sister, Ally, without noticing. When he finally did realized what had happened, without any regard for his own life ran right back into out burning house. Those were the longest two minutes of my life. Finally he came out of the house holding Ally like a baby. He placed her on the ground and then collapsed himself. As May was tending to Ally, I ran over to Jake and saw his charcoal-colored face. His eyes were shut and he just lay there, still. I shook him as hard as I could trying to wake him up. I was thinking that there was no possible way this could have happened. I just saw him, alive and walking, he couldn't be dead now. He couldn't be. But he was. I knew it. It was my fear the moment he fell to the ground. I put my head on his chest trying to hear a heartbeat that I knew wasn't there. I was sitting there in the dark with my big brother in my arms hoping for a miracle. I looked over at my two sisters who were staring at us. They were both staring at Jake laying on the ground and when they saw my red face full of tears they began to cry themselves. Jake risked his life to save Ally, to save my little sister. Just like Prue did. She risked her life to save you. To protect you."
"Leo." Piper said, "I'm so sorry. I never knew"
"I never told you. I thought to would be too hard." He responded. "He was my big brother. I loved him. I feel the same way about him that you do about Prue."
"Well, I'm glad you told me. I feel that I know you better." Piper said staring into his eyes. They kissed passionately on the lips each feeling like they knew each other better and that they went thought the same things.
"I love you." Leo said.
"I love you too." She replied kissing him again.
A/N: Okay, I know that was a little weird but go with me here.... I love Leo and I like his sensitive side, this chapter brings it out.
