Present
Piper sat besides Wyatt's bed. She loved watching her son sleep. It gave her the feeling that everything was all right. Piper reached forwards and caressed her son's cheek. Little Wyatt moved lightly in his sleep but didn't wake up.
Piper stood up and left the room. She still wasn't used to the quietness in the house. Since Phoebe had moved to Hong Kong and Paige moved over to Richard's the house was so quiet. To quiet for Piper's taste.
Chris was still pissed because of the sister's decision and refused to talk to them more than necessary. Leo had a lot of Elder things to do and she Piper raised her son alone.
Things had happened to fast. She wasn't used to her knew role as single mother. She missed her husband. Missed being a wife. She missed her family and those lazy Sunday afternoons in bed cuddling with Leo and Wyatt.
She was really glad that Phoebe couldn't longer trace any feeling from her. To cover her feelings from Phoebe had cost a lot of her power.
She had so long pretended that nothing troubled her that she could barely remember her own feelings. She even started dating again. Sure she liked Greg but she couldn't imagine having a future with him.
Sometimes at night she woke up from her own sobs.
She felt lonely. And she was so sad. There had nobody been to whom she could have talked. Sure she spoke with Phoebe over the telephone once in a while and saw Paige occasionally but it wasn't the same as before.
Piper went into the kitchen and made herself a cup of tea when she suddenly was overwhelmed by her feelings. A tear rolled down her cheek followed by another one. Followed by a hundred of them.
Than she felt two strong arms embracing her. Leo held her close and let her cry until her sobs finally stopped. Neither of them spoke. After a few minutes Leo wanted to step back as Piper who put her arms around his waist stopped him.
"Please Leo. I need you tonight."
They looked each other in the eyes and their lips meet in a gentle kiss. It has been a long time since their last kiss and both tried to remember what it has been like.
Leo embraced Piper harder and orbed with her into their former bedroom.
