Chapter 29
OoO Finally, Telling Him OoO
Her ears were still ringing from all the shooting as he pulled her up from the floor.
"Are they gone?" She managed to ask when he set her down on a kitchen stool.
"Yeah, all gone." He said and stroked his hand through her hair once.
A terrified Marta came running into the room.
"Oh god!! Leo! What was that?!" She asked, looking pale with her eyes wide.
"Marta, could you get me a wet towel please?" Leo asked, gesturing at Piper's hands which he was still holding.
Marta looked down at Piper's hands with horror, and quickly disappeared into another room to do what she was asked.
Piper didn't even want to look down at her hands. She and blood didn't work well together, especially when it was hers.
Leo got her hands cleaned up and put bandages around them, then immediately got on his cell.
"Darryl? Listen, I need to get Piper and myself out of here..." He explained Darryl what happened, and they decided that the two will be staying at a hotel where some of Darryl's people will be guarding them.
Her sisters were frantic when she told them over the phone what happened, but she managed to somewhat calm them.
About half an hour later they were about twenty officers and agents from the FBI around Leo's apartment, taking pictures and trying to get rid of the reporters who were out to get the inside story.
She sat silently in the back of the car which Darryl was driving, taking her and Leo to the hotel they will be staying at.
Leo and Darryl were having a worrying conversation in the front seats, but she couldn't concentrate on what they were talking bout.
She looked at Leo's worried expression as he discussed something with Darryl.
He still didn't know that he was going to be a father.
She winced at the thought.
"Piper? You ok?" Leo asked, looking to the back seat where she was.
She nodded quickly.
He had to know, she had to tell him, and tonight she will.
---OoO---
Leo stared at the disk in his hands as it reflected the moon light from the open window.
His father was so desperate to get a copy of it, the files, while Leo could hold it between his fingers whenever he wished to.
He looked to the side where Piper was lying on the couch.
Her eyes were wide open, looking at him.
He cracked a smile for her, and she returned him one.
That was when he remembered that she was trying to tell him something that morning before the shooting begun.
He got up, and walked to sit on the edge of the couch.
She set up, still looking at him, but didn't say a thing.
"You feeling ok?"
"Yeah." She said simply.
"Piper, you wanted to tell me something this morning?"
He saw her take a sharp breath.
There was something she wasn't telling him. Maybe it had to do with what happened in LA? If his father did anything to her, he swore he will kill him with his own bare hands...
"I don't know if you're goanna like this." She mumbled.
William Wyatt is a dead man.
"What did he do to you?" He asked her, furious.
"Wait, what?"
"My father, he did something to you, didn't he?"
"Apart from kidnapping me and trying to kill me this morning? Leo, I'm not talking about that."
"You're not?"
She shook her head.
He could see she was planning what to say.
"I was trying to tell you this morning but then... you know." Her voice was almost completely hushed and he had to lean forward to hear her.
"Just tell me what it is Piper; I'm sure I can fix it, whatever it is..." He stopped when she shook her head again.
"It's not fixable Leo." She said, and his cell rang.
Again.
He took it out of his pocket and was about to answer when he saw the desperation in her eyes.
Turning the thing off, he put it away and gently took Piper's hands instead. Her fingers were cold, almost making himself shiver.
"Shoot. I won't judge, I promise." He told her, and finally she nodded.
Her next few words shook his world.
"Leo... I know this is going to be hard, but I'm just telling you the facts." She stopped for a little longer then a moment, but this time continued.
"I'm having your baby." She said.
He looked at her lips, waiting for there to be more, but her mouth only opened and closed to take a deep breath.
"Baby?" He echoed.
"Yeah."
He almost asked her if she was sure, but realized how stupid that would sound.
Crooks he could handle, murders, suicides, serial killers... all that was easy compared to what Piper has just dropped on him.
"Please say something." She asked, sounding miserable.
He looked for words, but nothing would fit to the description of how he felt at that moment.
"Um... it's ah... very... Interesting." He finally said.
"'Interesting'? Leo, you don't say 'interesting' about something like that!"
He ran his hand through his hair nervously.
He wasn't good at these situations. Hell, he's never been in a situation like this.
"I'm not good at this." He cracked.
"Well, I'm not an expert either!" She said angrily, and got up to phase back and forth behind him.
A BABY? He wasn't good with babies.
This was all very overwhelming, and he closed his eyes to try and sort out his thoughts.
He heard Piper breathing heavily behind him, still walking from side to side, and got up to stop her.
"Wait, Piper, sit down." He said, giving her a little push towards the couch.
She sat down, and looked anywhere but at him, though her works were obviously directed to him only.
"Look, I know you obviously don't want this baby. God, you hardly know me, who's to say you even want me... I just thought you had the right to know, I'm not saying you have to take any responsibilities, but I'm having this baby." She was talking fast, never letting him say a thing.
"No, Piper, wait, slow down. Look, quite frankly; I don't know where I would go without you from here on; just looking at you makes me feel like at home."
He stopped to see any reaction from her, but she wasn't letting anything out.
"Of course, this... um... new discovery, was never part of my plan. But then- you weren't either. I wasn't looking for a long term relationship until I met you. Ask my brother, my longest relationship in the past seven years was probably with a cat who ran away after three months."
He saw her lips curving into a smile.
Good, a smile is good.
"You're special Piper, I swear to god you are. But I need time to... understand this." He tried.
She nodded.
He leaned forward to hug her, and whispered in her ear;
"I love you Piper, and you won't get to get rid of me this easily. Let's go to bed."
Sitting in front of her, he let her wrap her legs around his waist, and her arms around his neck, then lifter her up with his arms supporting her from behind.
He took her to the bedroom in the cold hotel room, and whished they could be someplace else.
As long as they are someplace else together.
He chose not to think about it that night; that is about what she told him. He would think about it tomorrow. At the moment, his brain wasn't working whatsoever.
---OoO--- A few buildings away ---OoO---
"Cozy those two." He said out loud, laughing at his son.
Someone walked into the room, and he turned to see agent Lutgin.
"Nothing on..." He stopped when he saw the television Big Man was looking at where they could see a bed and two someones in it.
"Don't tell me that's..."
"Leo and Piper. The ones and the only." Big Man said, never trying to suppress a laugh.
Lutgin crushed in a chair next to him, and started laughing himself.
"You are one son of a bitch. How the hell did you get your cameras in there?" Lutgin asked.
"First of all; you're the son of a bitch here, didn't have much problem crossing over to my side. And the cameras aren't mine; they have some at every room in the hotel, and use them when necessary. I channeled it here, and look what a beautiful view I have now."
"Don't tell me you've been watching your son doing the dirty..."
"I'm not a maniac Lutgin." William said.
"The hell you aren't."
"No, he didn't fuck her tonight. But I did find out that he fucked her enough to get her pregnant, the little dummy." He said, chuckling.
"You serious? One motherfucking son you got there."
"He got that from me. I have about six or seven kids; I know only three of them."
"Like father like son." Lutgin said.
"Hardly."
"What do you do next?" Lutgin said.
"Next, I'm out for revenge. I want that Halliwell bitch put down."
"I'd think you'd go for the files first. It's just logical." Lutgin commented.
"Don't talk logical to me. I sent my best people to take care of the fucking files. I want to take care of this bitch personally, she's caused me more trouble over the last tree weeks then anyone did over the last tree years. Leo hasn't been able to find out who I was all his life, and she changed all that in a second."
"Wouldn't want to be Piper now."
