It's hard to say what it is I see in you
Wonder if I'll always be with you
Words can't say, and love can't do
Enough to prove, it's all for you

Dr. Leo Wyatt rushed across the hospital parking lot and into his car. It was pouring rain, and he was running late for dinner at his grandmother's house. At 73 years old, Lillian was still the best cook he knew, and also the best storyteller.
Leo smiled to himself as he pulled onto the road, thinking about his grandmother's World War II stories. He'd grown up hearing about his grandfather, whom Leo had been named after, an army medic who'd died in the war. Leo never tired of those stories, in fact, they were what drove him to become a doctor.
It started to rain even harder. Leo set his windsheild wipers faster, feeling sorry for his colleagues who were stuck working in the emergency room. There would be a lot of accidents tonight.
Driving carefully, Leo made it to Lillian's house without incident. She greeted him at the door warmly.
"Leo! You should've stayed home, it's too dangerous to be out tonight." she admonished.
"Well, then it's a good thing a came. The hospital's closer to your house than mine." he responded.
"Oh, come in here before you catch cold." the old woman said, pulling Leo into the foyer and taking his soaking wet jacket from him. She led him into the dining room, where three places were set at the table.
"Ok, Gram, who's the third?" he asked suspiciously. Lillian was forever trying to set her grandson up with women.
"Well, she had to cancel because of the weather, but I really think you would have liked her. She's from my Church."
Leo sighed, wondering how many more dates like this before he'll have been out with every single woman in the parish.
They sat down to eat. The food was delicious, as usual, but Leo couldn't help noticing the way the conversation always drifted back to his would-be blind date.
"She reminds me a lot of your Aunt Julie," the woman was saying, "the same light hair, blue eyes. The two of you could have the cutest kids."
Leo rolled his eyes. Lillian was forever wanting great-grandkids.
They'd both finished eating, so Leo got up and began clearing the table. He went into the kitchen to do the dishes, while she went into the study. When he was finished, he met her in there.
"While I'm here, is there anything that need fixing?" he asked. Lillian had lived in the house her whole life, and lately there was always something falling apart.
Lillian smiled. "No, but thanks. You've always been so good with repairs, just like your grandfather." With that, she presented him a thick manila envelope. "I found these while I was cleaning out the attic the other day, and thought you might like to have them. It's his army records."
Leo took the envelope. "You shouldn't be going up there by yourself, it's dusty and you know how bad your breathing gets." he scolded lovingly.
Lillian laughed. "More like your grandfather every day!" she called as Leo went into the foyer to get his coat. Her grandson smiled, and gave her a kiss good-bye before dashing out to his car. He jumped in, waved to his grandmother, and drove off.
****************
A/N: Just to clear up any confusion, because I know didn't really make this obvious, go back and rewatch the episode "Pardon My Past". You know how in her past life, Piper was her own great-grandmother (or something like that)? Well, that's kind of what we have here with Leo. So technically, it's the same soul. Think it's a good idea? Let me know. Review, please.
