Piper was racing around the kitchen and clearing up the last of the breakfast things when the doorbell rang. She quickly dried her soaking wet hands and put the last plate back in the cupboard. "I'm coming!" She yelled, bolting for the door. She pushed the key into the lock and tried to unlock it, struggling. "Damn being the first to use the door!" She mumbled. "I can never open this thing." She managed to yank it open and looked slightly flustered.

She turned around and threw the keys onto the table, then spinning herself back around, gripping the handle just in time before she tipped over. Her face turned into a huge smile when she saw who was on the other side of the door. "Hey Leo" She said softly, her voice suddenly becoming more high pitched than before. "What are you doing?"

He smiled his beautiful smile and took a step forward, the morning sun catching his sandy blonde hair. For a moment Piper could have sworn that he was sparkling, like an angel. "Good morning." He swooned. "I just wanted to see how the most gorgeous woman in the world was doing this morning."

"Oh, do you want me to go and find her for you?" Piper replied, pointing her thumb behind her and trying to smile. "Although she might not be so pretty now, she's just about to get up."

Leo laughed quietly. "I wasn't talking about Prue, although she did look extremely gorgeous on our date last week." He teased.

Piper lightly punched his arm and grinned "haha" She mocked, "Prue wouldn't date you because she knows I'm crazy about you"

Leo smiled as she let him into the house. "Wow...it's nice to know that someone loves me." He mumbled.

Piper looked confused as he said this. "What's that supposed to mean?" She asked him.

Leo looked away. "I got a call from my sister Chanice yesterday, let's just say that things...didn't go as well as I thought they would. I think she was drunk or something and we just argued about Sian and Toby and all the other kids that she probably has."

Piper's mouth dropped open and she leant forward. "Oh Leo I'm sorry." She told him comfortingly. "I thought you and Chanice were the ones that got on well."

"Yeah...so did I." He replied quietly. Piper moved towards him and hugged him close. He accepted it and wrapped her tightly in his arms, feeling much better. "Anyways...let's not get on that train of thought...it's only depressing."

"Ok." Piper said, looking up at him and flashing him a warm, bright smile. Piper heard voices coming from Prue's room. She tried not to laugh and raised her eyebrows at Leo. They were both thinking the same thing...until they heard two female voices erupting into shouts. "Uh oh..." Piper murmured. "That's Phoebe and Prue arguing. I didn't even know Phoebe was still here. I'm sorry Leo, go sit down or get a drink or something, I have to sort this out." She turned and swiftly walked out of the lounge.

"Phoebe...this is not funny." Prue screamed impatiently.

"What and you think I'm enjoying this. I'm not ecstatic that a girl is apparently my big sisters daughter. But it's my problem now that she contacted me of all people...and I could sure use some help from my sister." Phoebe retorted.

"We don't know if this is true. She's never told us that she had a daughter, or anything of the sort. So why ruin things by bringing it all up now." Prue questioned, trying to calm down.

"Because if it's true, we can't let this drop. She is a Halliwell, part of our family, what am I supposed to do, forget it? She is our niece Prue." Phoebe yelled urgently.

"But it's not about us anymore! It never was! It's about Piper! She's going steady with Leo, the most important thing in her life! We cannot take this from her by giving her a child that may not even be hers!!" Prue shouted, turning and sitting on her bed, rubbing her temples.

"You know what...fine!" Phoebe said, calming down slightly. "You want to just let our own flesh and blood continue living without knowing who her real family are, then that's fine. I just hope you know what you're doing because that 8 year old girl Shannon isn't going to be that happy....is she?" She mumbled, walking out of the room and leaving Prue to answer the question. She bumped straight into Piper who was stood in the hallway...her mouth hung open. "Oh...Piper...hi."

"Phoebe." Piper mumbled, still in complete shock. "It's not me...I mean...She's not mine."

"What?" Phoebe questioned.

"I MEAN....Shannon...that ten year old girl....ISN'T mine...I haven't had a child....you'd know...I've never left the town." Piper explained.

"No" Phoebe said, something twigging in her brain. "But I know someone who has."

AN: OK...totally short and totally not P/L...I know. But I haven't updated in ages due to holidays...and I couldn't think what to write. This is my way of letting you know that I'm back...and so is DYE!! 
