"WHAT did you just say?" Charlie asked still staring at her mother as if she was an alien from outer space.
"I said; get off of Leo," Piper said trying to cover up her mistake.
"No, you didn't Mommy...you...you said Daddy..." Charlie looked up at Piper waiting for an explanation; she then turned to Leo, and squinted up at him.
"Mommy, Leo's not my Daddy! Tell her Leo..."
"Uh..." Leo started, getting cut off by Piper.
"Charlie...baby, I think we need to talk to you. Sit down." Charlie sat on the couch, looking quite confused.
%&%
Oh once in your life you find someone
Who will turn your world around
Bring you up when you're feeling down
Yeah nothing can change what you mean to me
There's a lot that I could say but just hold me now
Cause our love will light the way
%&%
"A long time ago, before you were born, Leo and I were...an item."
"We were in love," Leo supplied.
"We were in love...but it was a complicated relationship so we broke up. That's when I met Dan...me and Dan also fell in love-but my love for Dan was nothing compared to my love for Leo. One night, when Dan was away on business Leo came by-it just started as talking...but then things happened. And out of our love something so beautiful was created. But as much as I still loved Leo, I desperately wanted the baby-you- to be Dan's child...it would have made life so much easier. Even after you were born and I knew you were Leo's, I forced myself to stay with Dan and love him...but lately...I'd been struggling so hard, I couldn't keep all these secrets; as cliché as it is, I had a heavy heart. I wanted out...I wanted everyone to know the truth, and watching you and Leo together...it just pushed me that bit further-I had to tell someone..."
"Mommy...what are you saying? Are you saying Daddy's not my Daddy?" Charlie asked still a bit confused, and slightly shocked. Piper nodded at her daughter.
"A...are...you really my Daddy?" Charlie asked quietly and softly looking studying Leo's face.
"Yeah,"
"Mommy, why didn't you tell me? Why didn't I know that Daddy's not my daddy...that....that Leo's my Daddy? WHY?" Charlie asked, standing, staring at her mother, her eyes blazing, angry that her mother had been lying for so long. "I don't understand...why didn't I know? Shouldn't I know who my Daddy is? You always tell me not to lie...but you lieed! I HATE YOU!!" Charlie pushed past her mother and into Leo's bedroom; she flopped down on the bed, and screamed into the quilt.
Piper stood staring at the spot where her daughter had stood just seconds before. A single tear slid down her face. Leo walked towards Piper, and slid an arm round Piper's waist.
"Oh my god Leo! What have I done? I should have told her before, I should have told YOU...I should never have left you-if I had stayed with you my own daughter wouldn't hate me." Piper rambled starting to panic.
"Shh...Piper, it's going to be okay..."
"No Leo! It's not okay...I've been living a lie the past five years...and my own daughter hates me...Leo, my daughter hates me! How is that okay?!?!"
"Piper...I said GOING to be okay...we'll sort it out, I promise everything will work out. Now, you stay here and calm down-I'll go speak to Charlotte." Leo said guiding Piper over towards the couch.
"Leo...you don't have to..."
"No, maybe not-but I WANT to...I mean, she is my daughter too."
"Thanks," Piper responded giving Leo a quick kiss before he left to talk to his daughter.

Leo stood outside his bedroom door, he could hear Charlie crying. Hesitantly he knocked on the door.
"Charlie...can I come in...can we talk?"
Leo waited for an answer, but when he didn't get one he opened the door. He saw Charlie lying face down on the bed. Leo walked over to the bed, and sat down next to his daughter. Carefully he picked her up, and sat her on his lap. She just adjusted herself and sobbed into his flannel shirt.
"Charlie...please, calm down..."
"Why? Why didn't she tell me? Why didn't YOU tell me?" She asked, though it was muffled through tears.
"Mommy only wanted what's best for you. And I didn't tell you because I didn't know! I've only just found out myself..."
"Y...you have?" Charlie asked looking up at him, her tears slowing.
"Yeah," Leo replied, and Charlie looked up at him for a bit longer. She then stuck her thumb in her mouth and leant into Leo's chest. Leo held her close and caressed her back, comforting her.
"Your Mom, she just wanted to protect you, she wanted you to grow up in a safe and happy home. And as she said...it was complicated back then..." Charlie nodded not wanting to ruin the moment.
"So...you're really my Daddy?" Charlie asked after an age of silence (more like five minutes...but when you're five...that's a looooong time!)
"Yeah, I guess so baby...what do you think?"
"I...I don't know...I mean...the Leo I know-Mommy's friend who sometimes looks after me is quite cool...but I don't really know what you're like as a Daddy..."
"I see...I don't know what you're like as my daughter either...so we'll just have to see how it goes. But we have each other, and we have Mommy," Leo said smiling.
"Le...Da...What do I call you?" Charlie asked innocently.
"Whatever you want."
"Umm...Daddy...hehe...that sounds weird!" Charlie said chuckling.
"So it does...we'll just have to get used to it I guess..." Leo said, watching Charlie giggling, full of love.
"So...Daddy, will me and Mommy be living with you now?"
"Yeah, how would you like that?"
"It'd be cool, I guess..." Charlie replied thoughtfully.
"You guess? YOU GUESS?" Leo asked tickling her.
"N...o...Leo...stop, Daddy...STOP!" Charlie managed to say in between giggles. After Leo finally stopped, they collapsed back onto the bed.
"Daddy...I didn't really mean what I said to Mommy...I don't hate her. I could never hate Mommy!" Charlie said remembering what she'd said to her mother just minutes before.
"I know you don't angel, but, I think you need to let Mommy know-apologize to her...she may know deep down that you don't hate her, but it still hurt her."
"Ok!" Charlie said bouncing off the bed and out the door way.
Leo stood up and followed her, 'God, is Charlie going to be a handful-and energetic one...It's going be a laugh having her around...you gotta love that kid.' Leo thought as he followed Charlie towards the living room.
As Charlie reached the living room she stopped, and turned to look up at Leo.
"D...D...Daddy..."
"I'm right behind you-don't worry." Leo said almost as if he's read Charlotte's thoughts. Before entering the room, Charlie grabbed Leo's hand and pulled him into the living room behind her.
"M...mommy?" Charlie ventured quietly.
"Hey, baby," Piper replied after a beat of silence.
"Mommy...I...I'm...I really sorry! I didn't mean to make you cry!" Charlie blurted out.
"It's okay baby, you didn't make me cry...and I understand why you're angry."
"No," Charlie released her grip on Leo's hand and ran to her mother, "No, I'm not angry...I'm happy! Very happy! If we're gonna stay with L...Daddy....then we can be a happy family! And live happily ever after!!!!" Charlie exclaimed excitedly throwing her small arms around her mother's neck. Beaming from ear to ear Charlie looked up at Leo and he came and sat down next to his two girls.
"So...you wanna live happily ever after Charlie?" Leo asked mischievously.
For a moment Charlie looked at him as if he really was from outer space, she then nodded her head vigorously.
"Sounds like a plan...What do ya say Mommy?" Leo asked with a grin dancing across his features. Both Leo and Charlie turned to Piper expectantly. She laughed at the two of them.
"I say...it's worth a try!" Piper said smiling.
