5 minutes later Leo reappeared in the kitchen to see Charlie staring out of the window. When she noticed someone was also in the room she turned her head.

"Leo," She said cocking her head to one side, "What happened to Mommy? Why is she sad? Why's Daddy not here?"

"Hey kiddo...not so many questions all at once." Leo paused, finally looking at Charlie and not just seeing a friend's kid, but seeing his child; his and the love of his life's child. A child created purely of love. And he couldn't help but feel as if he was glowing on the inside. He couldn't believe that such a beautiful, sweet and loving child was his own child. "I thought Mommy explained this to you...She's a bit upset, over...Daddy." Leo said, hating his words, hating the fact that his daughter called another man Daddy, he was slightly comforted by the fact that he and the five year old got along very well, but the words were still daggers in his heart, they always would be...

"Oh, why?"

"Well...they weren't getting along very well, and last night, they just had a big fight, so Mommy came here."

"Okay..." The small girl said, unsure of what to do now. She put her elbows on the table, then rested her head on her hand, and with one eyebrow raised stared at a spot on the wall.

"Charlie? You okay?" Leo asked, now playing the concerned father.

"Yeaaaah....thinking..."

"Ah...thinking...I remember when I used to just think; when I was your age, I'd sit and think and everyone would say 'Penny for 'em'..." Leo said reminiscing.

Charlie stood up, putting her hand on her hips she squinted looking up at Leo. The look on her face made Leo want to laugh, he tried so hard not to. She was giving him one of those, 'what planet are you from' looks.

"I know someone called Penny...why would someone say Penny for 'em? Penny for what?"

Leo chuckled slightly, he pulled a chair and sat down with ease. "Come here Charlie."

Setting the confused five year old on his knee, he explained the old expression. "So you see....when someone is thinking real hard; someone may say penny for them, or penny for your thoughts."

"Oh...is it like a wishing well? When someone gives you a penny do you have to think?"

"No sweetie...it's similar to a wishing well I suppose, but it's just a saying. I reckon clever people like you are always thinking, so if you were given a penny for EVERY thought you'd be a very rich girl." Leo said kindly.

"Wow...Leo, how do you know I'm always thinking? That's really clever...it's...it's like...telepaty!"

"I think you mean telepathy...and some people are just clever, so they know these things."

"Leo...you must be REALLY clever...I thinks you knows EVERYTHINK!" Charlie said making large hand gestures.

"I don't know...I might be clever; but I'm not THAT clever...you learn something new everyday-that really is true. You know....I don't think that any one person can know absolutely everything."

"Leo...when someone knows lots of thinks, does that mean they have big b...br...brains?"

"I suppose they must have a big brain to store all that information."

"So if they have big brains...then would their heads be like...REALLY BIG?? Would they explode if they learnt somethink new?"

"No, Charlie....I don't think it works quite like that. Mind you...it might be quite funny to see an exploding head..." Leo said laughing. Charlie started to laugh too.

It was at this minute that Piper decided to emerge from the hallway. Secretly she'd been watching her daughter and Leo for a while. With a smile playing on her lips she entered the kitchen.

"Awwww...don't you two make the cutest couple?" Piper said giggling as Leo stopped tickling Charlie.

Charlie stood up, and in her hands on hips pose, stared at her mother as if she were an alien. "Mommy!" Charlie then exclaimed running into Piper.

"Hi baby," Piper said lifting Charlie up.

"You know Piper...I think somebody has their wires crossed...me and Charlie...we're not together...I tend to not go for minors...but people like you...If you really want a cute couple you should see the two of you." Piper smiled at him. Leo smiled back at her; it was one of those secret smiles that they saved only for each other.

A while later, Charlie was safely planted in front of Barney and Friends singing the theme tune... "I love you...you love me, we're a happy family..." She sang sweetly. Piper and Leo were in the kitchen, watching their daughter through the serving hatch. Handing Piper a mug of coffee, Leo wrapped his arms around her waist, as lightly kissed her neck.

"It's nice to have you in my arms again..."

"You...have no idea how good it is to be in them again," Piper replied setting her coffee down.

Slowly their faces inched towards each other, and a soft, sweet, tender kiss was taking place. A few seconds later they pulled away, Leo tucked Piper's hair behind her ear, and started kissing her ear. A short while later they heard footsteps padding along the hallway.

"Leo..." Piper said giggling.

Two seconds later Charlie walked into the kitchen and looked at Piper and Leo...confused to say the least. They jumped apart on seeing her enter, but it was too late, Charlie had seen them hugging.

"Hey, munchkin...Barney over already?" Piper asked, still trying not to giggle.

"Uh-huh..." Charlie stared at her mother for a moment, and then turned to Leo. "Leo...w...was you go...going to kiss her?!?" Charlie said sounding grossed out.

"Uh...no...I was...um...j...just asking her if I could possibly take my favourite girl out..." Leo said nervously winging it.

"Oh," Charlie responded matter-of-factly.

"And, I was about to say, he can do whatever he wants..." Piper was interrupted by her daughter.

"Leo...who is your favouriteist girl? Is she your girlfriend? Can I meet her?" Charlie gave Leo the Spanish inquisition...one thing...with five year olds-NEVER speak in code...it can get confusing...or they can completely misunderstand the whole thing...

Leo looked at Piper for a second, she smiled and nodded.

"Firstly, I believe you already know her...she's not my girlfriend...I've always just thought of her as a friend...she's a bit young for me see...and um...I was asking your Mom if I could take you out." Leo said kneeling in front of Charlie to look into her eyes.

"ME?!? I'm your favouriteist girl?" she said sounding surprised.

"You'd better believe it."

"Where are we going?" She asked shyly.

"It's up to you."

"The park! I want to go to the park...and the toy shop...and the donut palace...and McDonalds...and...and..."

"Whoa, there-slow down angel. How about we go to the park first, then we'll see...ok?"

Charlie nodded in agreement. And dragged Leo out of the apartment...

A couple of hours later they returned, with Charlie on Leo's back, to see Piper now fully dressed-as apposed to being in her pyjamas.

"Hey," Piper called out as Leo rushed through to the living room; Charlie had her arms spread out as if she were a plane...

"Piper...check out what we bought!" Leo said passing her a bag from the toy shop.

"Oh...a Barbie...honey, don't you already have a few?" Charlie just rolled her eyes at her mother and asked Leo to put her down.

"Honestly, Jeez Piper...It's not Barbie...it's Skipper, even I know that!" Leo said sarcastically.

"Mommy, you are silly...Leo bought it for me!" Charlie said flinging her arms round him. "I like Leo, he's COOL!" Charlie exclaimed hugging him even harder.

"Okay Munchkin, I should have know better...I think you can get off of Daddy now; let him breathe!"

Charlie stood back and look at Piper, with her jaw almost hitting the floor...Piper smacked a hand to her face, realising what she'd just said.
