Chapter 27

OoO A New Purpose in Life OoO

"I don't believe this." James said, staring at Leo as he walked from one side of the room to another.

The older brother has just informed the younger one about their dear ole' daddy.

"I didn't believe it either when I first heard." He recalled the way he reacted, the way he got his anger out on Piper and wanted to hit his head into the wall.

But she seemed pretty understanding, not judging at all.

He looked back at his brother who still seemed out of it.

James was never Dad's favorite son, Leo was.

But James was always the one who was trying to please him. He thought that if he would start Wyatt Investigations with his brother he would get a good point from his father, but the motherfucker ignored him, and Leo knew how much it hurt James.

"So she just remembered? Out of the blue?" Leo knew James didn't want to believe.

"She seemed to have a dream. But she remembers it clearly now, everything I've told you. What's in the files, what they are for, and who the owner is. That's probably why he saw her as such a big threat. He was afraid we would find out."

There was a knock on the door and Darryl's head popped it.

Leo reminded himself they were still at the police station.

"You two all right?" Darryl asked.

Leo nodded, but James was still too shocked.

"Just give us some time." Leo asked for James's sake.

---OoO---

She jumped at the sound of the knocking door, and it took her a few moments to remember that her sister was coming.

Piper pulled herself off the couch and opened the door to reveal Phoebe.

"Hi!" The younger sister exclaimed, but her eyes were looking at Piper, worried.

"Hey Phoebes" Piper said, letting her in.

Phoebe got rid of her jacked, and looked around.

"Where is Leo?"

"He had to leave."

"And he left you alone?" Pheebs asked, sounding surprised and even angry.

"Yeah, something came up, he had to." Piper explained, trying not to think about Leo's screaming earlier that morning.

But there was something else that still wouldn't leave her thoughts, wouldn't let her rest.

She knew she had to do it; living with the doubt would do no one any good.

"You ok?" Phoebe asked, and Piper realized she dosed off.

"Yeah, sorry. Listen, Pheebs, would you come to the doctor's with me?" She asked.

"Sure! Why? Are you sick?" Phoebe asked back, still sounding very concerned and protective.

"Um, not exactly."

She intended to continue and explain, but realized that if she would hear herself saying it, it would seem real, and she wasn't sure she was ready for that.

But looking back up at Phoebe, she knew she was expecting an answer as confusing as it might seem.

"I think I might be pregnant." She said.

There, it wasn't so hard... Well, maybe it was.

Phoebe's expression changed but Piper couldn't tell if it was confusion or just pity.

"Oh, but honey, you can't get pregnant remember?"

Definitely pity.

"YES, Phoebe, I'd remember something like that don't you think?"

"Course you would. Sorry."

"I just want to get checked up." Piper said.

"Wait, you're not saying that those beasts did something to you when you were in LA..." Phoebe asked with horror.

"NO! Of course not! God, I hope not. But my period is about three weeks late now, and that's not very normal."

"You're right, ok, let's go. Do you have an appointment?"

"No, but I figured Paige would let me in anyway."

Paige Mathews was the doctor who took care of Piper three years back after the accident when the baby died, and the one who informed her that her chances of ever getting pregnant again were very small and just about not there at all. They've stayed friends ever since.

"Right, Paige surely would. Prue is supposed to come in about an hour so I'll call her to tell her where we're going so she won't come so soon. You take your time." Phoebe said, an encouraging smile on her face.

Piper could still see the worry on Phoebe's eyes, but she remembered how she looked in the mirror the previous day when Junior was caught and Leo took her to his place.

When her sisters saw her she probably looked like hell.

Today she surely looked better... But disappointment took over her when she saw her reflection in the mirror.

She still looked miserable and weak and she hated that. She liked feeling in control, like everything was going her way, but at the moment her appearance let her down.

Phoebe was still on the phone with Prue when Piper came downstairs after trying to make herself look decent, and thanks to the wonderful invention of makeup she succeeded to cover the black begs under her eyes and what was left of the dark yellow marks on her cheek.

She waited silently for Phoebe to finish her conversation with the eldest sister, but her thoughts drifted off back to a few days ago when Junior hit her.

And to think that he was Leo's half brother... To think that Big Man was Leo's FATHER... It was so completely out of this world.

Leo must have had an angel for a mother if he managed to become such a great man, surely he didn't get any of that from his father's side.

"You ready?" Phoebe's voice pulled her out of her trance.

"Would 'no' be a good enough answer?" Piper tried to joke, but the nerves in her face didn't let her smile.

Phoebe shook her head sadly.

The ride over to the clinic was stressful and unpleasantly silent

At some point Phoebe said;

"Piper, I just don't want you to be disappointed if it's just nothing."

Piper considered this.

Would she be disappointed? Does she even want to get a positive answer?

What if Paige tells her she IS pregnant?

Leo would surely be the father; she hasn't slept with a guy for over two months before Leo. But how would he react? Hell, how would she react?

"We're here." Phoebe announced, already getting out of the car.

"Piper! How's it going? Long time no see..." Paige exclaimed when Piper walked into her office.

"It's good to see you Paige, sorry I lost contact the last couple months; it's been a little crazy." Piper admitted as she took a seat next to her fried.

Phoebe said she would be waiting outside.

"How's Glen?" Piper asked, trying to make small talk and avoid the reason she was there.

"You know Glen, out and about. He's in Canada for a week now, and marking a month ago from today we're officially engaged." Paige announced proudly, showing Piper the beautiful ring on her finger.

Piper smiled at her friend, and congratulated her warmly.

After about fifteen more minutes of catching up (and Piper made sure Paige was the one telling the stories), Piper knew it was time to get to the point.

"So anyway, what brings you here?" Paige finally asked like she just realized Piper came to her office and not her house.

"Actually, I'm here to get myself checked up."

She told her friend about her suspicions, and Paige said that she shouldn't give false hope in case it's nothing.

Piper set on the bed in the white room, her legs too short to touch the floor. Around her were pictures of various infants in different stages of pregnancy.

Many pictures were just of a dreamy couple, at the first the woman only had a small bump from her stomach, and it grew bigger with every picture, and so did the smile on the couples face.

The last picture was of the two lucky parents and their little boy embraced between them.

She never got that, she thought, but before she would get anymore upset the door opened and Paige came in with some papers in hand.

She couldn't read the expression on her friends face, she looked... unsure.

Paige came and stood in front of Piper, sighed, and finally spoke;

"Well, I've got some good news for you." She said, but her face said everything but 'good news'.

"Yes." Piper cracked.

"I'm happy to inform you that indeed, you are expecting a baby." Paige said, this time a smile on her face.

Piper felt her lungs starting to close, and the room seemed too big and lonely, but she made the effort to continue and listen to Paige.

"But... You see, the chances of a miscarriage are very high Piper, I need you to understand that." Paige's smile was already long gone.

"Piper, try and see this as an opportunity, not necessarily the future." Paige continued carefully, and Piper nodded.

Fifteen minutes later, after Paige has explained her over and over about the chances of a miscarriage, Piper left the room.

Phoebe walked up to her, her eyes all expectations.

Looking at her younger sister, Piper suddenly stopped feeling miserable like she did just a second ago, and her lips curved into a smile.

The younger sister smiled even wider then Piper, and pulled her sister into a hug.

On their way back to Leo's Piper had time to think about it.

She forced herself to forget for a moment, just one moment- about Big Man, the files, the last few days... and suddenly it all seemed clear.

She had a new mission in life. A human being was growing inside of her, and this time she won't let it down, not like she did to her baby last time.

THIS time she was going to get it right.

If only she could make all the bad things go away. If only she didn't know that Leo was now across the city, suffering.

And there was no doubt that he was.

---OoO---

He sat silently across from his brother.

James stared into space, deep in thought.

Daryl's hand touched his shoulder, and he turned around to reveal his friends face.

"They are bringing Dobbs in. I thought you might want to be there for that." Darryl said.

When Leo told him about Big Man and his identity Darryl was very understanding and postponed Dobbs's questioning for a few hours so he could have a talk with James.

He already informed the agents at the FBI about William Wyatt, and they were already out looking for the bastard.

Now it was only a matter of time, or at least that was what Leo hoped.

Sighing, he got up, and after giving a squeeze to his brother's shoulder he headed out of the room after Darryl, prepared for several more tiring hours.

And all he wanted was to go back home and find Piper there, talk to her about it all. Only her face cheered him up, and a few words of her voice would do the magic and he would be able to get himself together again. At least he hoped she would be waiting, she might be long gone after his outburst this morning.

AN: I thought it would be nice to bring Paige in, I felt she was left out, and this was the perfect spot for her to fill. Review please.
