"Piper is pregnant," Phoebe finished for her sister.
No one spoke, the air in the atmosphere got thin as icy. Everyone looked at each other, as if they were all afraid to speak, afraid to come back to reality for a minute. Suddenly, Wyatt, who was still in Piper's arms orbed into the hand's of his father. He gave a prodigious giggle and smiled wickedly. That seems to have made everyone gather their emotions in place, at least until later. Leo looked from Piper, her tummy, to his son in his arms and hugged him. He couldn't believe how much he had missed his family. The meager amount of icy left broke and disappeared. Piper breathed in deeply before gathering enough courage to walk over to Leo and her sisters.
"Hi Leo," her voice a bit strained and hoarse, "glad you could make it."He looked at her in the eye, thinking of how stupid it was of him to have left her. After all they fought to be together, he just left her, the woman he loved the most. His mind was frozen with surprise. 'Piper is pregnant, Piper is pregnant.' His mind kept repeating, each time making him realize it more.
Finally, reality hit him full force, 'Piper is pregnant!'
After a few deep breaths and built up enough courage to say something he opened his mouth to speak. "H..how, d-did that happened? When did, I mean.., Piper you're pregnant!"
Phoebe had to giggle at Leo's expression, "Wow, keen eye Leo."
Piper didn't know what to say or how to act. They had a lot to talk about, but not right now. They had to figure out who had Chris first.
"About 7 months ago, in the Ghostly Plane, you, Piper. Any of this ring any bells at all?" Phoebe asked.
"Oh"
"Yeah, I know we have a lot to talk about Leo, but we need to talk the issue at hand right now," Piper said.
Paige decided that this was a good time to butt in. "Speaking of important issues, we have a major one in our hands right now. That's why we called you."Leo turned from Piper to Phoebe and Paige as he gave Wyatt to Piper so she can put him in his playpen.
"A demon took Chris. We have looked in the Book of Shadows already, we found nothing, and well, you are the next best thing so, here you are."
Leo's eyes widened, "When did this happen?"
Piper walked back to her sisters as they stood in front of Leo. "This morning, were watching some TV and then we heard a crash coming from here. We came to check on it and we found a demon here and Chris too. There was some kind of force field that we couldn't pass to get to the demon and Chris. Then, suddenly the demon shimmered out with Chris in hand," Phoebe told him, recalling all she saw.
"You didn't get a premonition of this happening?" he questioned as he gestured to Phoebe. "No," she answered as she lifted her hands up as if to say 'I'm innocent', "I didn't, which now that I think of it, is quite strange. I usually get some kind of warnings before things like this happen." She looked at both her sisters and Leo with a confused look.
"Okay, anyway, tell me what he looked like and I'll go check and see if anyone up there knows anything," he ordered the sisters. As they told him about the demon he couldn't help but steal looks at Piper. She looked as beautiful as ever, even more now that she is pregnant. Leo, being an Elder and all, was surprised as to how Piper's aura had grown more colorful and bright. "It's the baby, it's my son," he thought. After the girls were done explaining he left to check with the other Elders about the demon."Do you think he'll come back in a few minutes or in about an hour?" Paige asked as she walked over to a chair to sit.
"Don't know, but what I do know is that I'm famished," Piper said as she started to walk to the attic door. "Oh, I'm right there with you sister!" Phoebe commented as she jogged over to Piper. "Paige, you coming?" Piper asked as she grabbed Phoebe to stop her from going downstairs. Paige shook her head, "No, I ate a big breakfast this morning, I'm still kinda full." She rubbed her stomach and looked over at little Wyatt who was still at his playpen playing with his toys, "I'll look after him while you guys pig out," she teased. Piper and Phoebe gave her a funny look and turned to leave, Phoebe chose to run, "Hey, wait up Speedy Gonzales!" Piper screamed as Phoebe ran past her and down the stairs. All Paige did was laugh at her sister's remark.After about one hour Leo came back. He went to Magic School and got some books from there that he though would help the girls. "Did you find out the thing's name?" Piper asked as she flipped through some pages in one of the many books in front of her.
"Yeah, his name is Lascari. He is one of the Source's favorite demons." Paige made a confused look, "Why?" Leo looked at the sisters not knowing how to break the news, "He is one of the most powerful demons, he has killed more than 50 witches." The Charmed Ones were bewildered, in awe. "Are you kidding me?" Phoebe asked, of course in a rhetorical manner, "50?!"
"Looks like this fight isn't gonna be pretty," Piper remarked as she looked at her sisters. "Well, we better get ready and get prepared for one tough battle. Do you know anything else Leo?" "They told me more, but it's all kinda elusive so that's why I brought the books, to clear things up, to find out more.""Well, let's get reading!" Phoebe ordered as she clapped her hands together.
