Disclaimer: Oh no you can't be doing this to me! But...I... Didn't I make it clear in the previous chapter? Oh man! Do you really think something has changed in the time that has passed between the two updates? Okay... I-Do-Not-Own-Charmed! There! Happy?

A/N: Okay... So here's chapter 2... Just wrote it last night... And this is the farthest I've gotten with this story... So don't hold your breath for a quick update after this, cuz my end of term exams are coming up... That means lots of studying... Lots of studying means no time to write... No time to write means no update... But I'll write more as soon as I get a free hour...

Chapter 2:

It was 8'30 and Piper was sitting down on a cold wooden chair in her kitchen. A steaming dark red mug was in front of her, and she kept stirring the coffee absent-mindedly as her left elbow rested on the table and her hand supported her head. Yawning, she shivered and looked around. Dylan had woken up at 7'30, and cried, screamed and sobbed until Piper ran into the room and picked him up. She was shocked at the little guy's lung capacity. How could such a small kid cry and shout that much? Making shushing sounds, she had gotten Dan back to sleep, but not Dylan. She had taken him to the living room and spent half an hour trying to make him fall asleep again. At 8'00, he did so. But she couldn't go back to sleep just like that. So she found herself preparing some coffee and sitting in the kitchen, waiting for someone to walk in.

'So much for my free weekend,' she thought. She circled the mug with her hands, taking in the heat and shivering at the sudden change of temperature. She gently lifted the mug and took a drink of the hot liquid. As she set it back down, she continued stirring and staring at the swirls and twirls forming on the surface.

"Mornin'" She looked up from her coffee and saw a sleepy Leo walking in. He yawned and ran his hand through his hair, making it messier, if that was even possible.

"Want coffee?" she asked.

"Sure."

She was about to stand up when he stopped her. "Oh no you don't! I'm a big boy. I'll get it myself."

"Okay... Mugs are in the cupboard on your right. And the coffee is over there." She pointed towards the coffee pot next to the stove and turned back to her mug, getting transfixed in no time.

"Do you have any plans for today?" Leo asked as he sat down next to her, breaking her daze.

"Huh?"

"Plans? Today?"

"Oh... Sorry... I'm just not a morning person... At all..." She paused to pour some coffee down her throat, in hopes that it would wake her up. "But little Dylan? He apparently is..."

"I'm sorry he woke you up... I just sleep through everything..." He looked at her, at how the morning Sun filtered through the window and glistened on her hair. It looked even more beautiful with this extra light on it. Her hair was something that he had always loved. And he was glad she still kept it long. "So... When are you gonna get rid of those little monsters?"

"Monster? Who is a monster?" Piper turned her face towards the doorway and saw a sleepy Daniel slowly walking in. He was wearing his blue pyjamas and was clutching his teddy against his chest. He rubbed his eyes with the back of his right hand and blinked a few times.

"Ah ah ah ah ah! No walking into the kitchen without slippers, young man! Go back in there and get them. THEN you can come back here." Piper commanded.

"But...I... I just came from the rooooom..." he whined.

"Daniel..!" Piper warned.

"Okay! But I'm telling mom that you're being a meanie!" He stomped all the way back to the bedroom and ran into the kitchen. He was climbing onto the chair when there was a crying noise coming from the bedroom.

"I didn't do it! It wasn't me!"

Piper looked at Daniel, anger written all across her features, and stormed out to fetch her youngest nephew. She walked back into the kitchen in no time, and sat down on her chair. Bouncing Dylan on her lap, she drank the remnants of her mug and walked back out.

"What's the matter, Dyl? You want mommy? What's up, sweetie?" She asked the boy as she sat down on the couch with him. She was soon joined by Leo and a very quiet Dan. Leo sat next to her, but Dan stayed in one corner, talking to his teddy. When Dylan calmed down, Piper prepared his breakfast and sat with him in the kitchen, gnawing on a toast.

"Um... Piper?" She looked up from the floor to look at Leo. "I think you were a little...mean...to Dan before..."

"I... I know... It just took me so f-...long to get him to sleep before... And he woke him up..." She got up and walked towards the living room. "Take care of Dyl, please?"

"Sure."

"Hey, Dan." She kneeled down and looked at him. He was moving his teddy around, not wanting to look at her. "Dan? Look at me..." She lifted his head up. "Look... I'm sorry, sweetie... I just got a little mad at you because I was tired..." She paused, waiting for him to say something. He didn't. "Dylan woke me up very early today. And I was very tired..."

"Dylan always wakes everyone up very early." He muttered.

"But that's because he's little. You woke everyone up very early too. I remember when you were a baby and you stayed here overnight... You used to drive me crazy!" Dan looked up, smiled, and started giggling. "Ooooh... You liked that! So you liked driving me crazy! You little meanie weenie!!" She gently pushed him back onto the couch and started tickling him.

When she stopped, he was out of breath and looked at her. "I love you, Auntie Piper!"

"I love you too, Danny." She gently kissed the tip of his nose and picked him up. "Your mother's coming today to pick you up."

"Yay! When? When is she coming?" He leaped out of her arms and started jumping around.

"Dan, settle down! She'll have lunch with us today." She started walking around the place, stuffing the cushions on the couch, and picking up random toys scattered around the floor. When she did, she took them to the bedroom and placed them on the bed.

"Once a neat freak, always a neat freak."

"Would you stop that, Leo? I'm not a neat freak!" She stated.

"Yeah... Right..."

"Is that supposed to be sarcastic?"

"What? What I just said? Nooo.... Not at all...!"

"Okay, mister. Stop making fun of me!"

"It's fun to make fun of you!" He grinned. She looked at him and, unable to hold back a smile, grinned back.

"Mommyyyyyyy!!!" Dan ran into his mother's arms, who picked him up and showered him with kisses. "I missed you, mom!"

"I missed you too, Danny!" She kissed his head and set him down on the floor. Turning to Piper, she opened her arms and hugged her sister.

"Did he cause much trouble?"

"Not at all! He's a little angel. We had a great time, didn't we, Dan?" She looked at him and winked. He saw this and tried winking back, but his other eye would shut too. Frustrated, he gave up.

Both Piper and Prue laughed at this, and walked towards the couch and sat down.

"So... How have you been?"

"Well... I hoped that this would be my free weekend to sleep in and rest but some sisters, and I won't say who, dumped their children at my apartment and left."

"Those women are not very nice..." Prue said, pretending not to know what Piper was talking about.

"No, not nice at all... In fact, I hate them." Piper smirked at her sister and then added, "I'm joking. It's always fun to have the kids at home from time to time... Just... Don't get used to this!!"

Prue laughed and turned her head towards the corridor. "I heard footsteps... Is it...?"

"Yeah... Leo?!" Piper called, and he walked into the living room in no time. He had just come out of the shower, so his hair was wet and messy.

"Prue!"

"Leo! It's been so long since I last saw you!"

"I know... Piper and I were talking about that last night..."

"You were, huh?" Prue smirked and Piper stepped on Prue's right foot. "Ouch!"

"I mean... When I last saw you, you were kid-less and nineteen!"

"I know..." She paused. "It's good to see you again, Leo."

The sisters had always been really close to Leo. He had been their neighbour since he moved in at the age of ten, and, as he was in Piper's grade at school, they had become best friends.

"Listen... My parents phoned me before... They're in town for the day... They came to visit these friends and they want to have lunch with me... Are you going to be at home all day?"

"I... I don't know..."

"I'm just not sure when I'll be back..."

"Umm... Wait." She ran into her room and walked towards the chest of drawers. She walked back and gave him a key. "There ya go. You're staying here, so it's only fair that you have a copy of the key..."

"Thanks a bunch, Pipe!" He leaned down and kissed her cheek.

"Yummy! Auntie Piper, it was delicious!!" Dan rubbed his tummy and, after drinking some water, ran off.

"He's probably off to play..." Piper said as her sister was about to stop him from leaving the kitchen. "Um... Is Phoebe coming later on?"

"No. I'll take Dyl over to her house tonight."

"Oh... I wasn't sure about that... I was thinking I'd give him a ride and drop him at Phoebe's and then maybe go out to dinner with Leo... You know... Talk..."

"Didn't you already do that last night?"

"Yeah but... I don't know... He kept insisting that he loves me... He wants to be back with me... But to me it just seems a little too rushed... I think we should take things slowly..."

"Yeah, that's best..."

"But... After what happened last night..."

"Wait...What? What happened, Piper?"

"It... It was just a quick kiss... But I'm sure it was mostly due to the wine we were drinking..."

"You kissed him?"

"Kinda..." She paused and, grabbing a small cushion from beside her, started playing with its corners. "Being around him last night... Talking to him... He hasn't changed one lousy bit, Prue... He's still the Leo I dated... And... I guess being around him just stirred some feelings I had put aside some time ago..." She looked at her sister. "I know that I still love him... And I have missed him lots too..."

"Honey, do as you please..."

"Now... Can we change subject? Leo has only been back for less than a day and I'm already going crazy..."

"Okay..." Prue looked around, trying to think of a new topic. "Um... Andy finally met Daniel..."

"He did?"

"Yeah... We had just gotten back from dinner, and Dan was still up... His father dropped him there. I had asked Phoebe to stay at mine because Jake was going to take him home... So, when I got home with Andy, he was playing with Phoebe and Dyl in the living room."

"Jake knows about Andy?"

"Yeah, of course he does... I think... But, if he doesn't, who cares? It's not like we're married anymore..."

"You have a very good point there..."

They stayed silent for some time until Prue spoke.

"I think I better get going..."

"But it's only...four! I mean... What am I gonna do here? All alone?"

"Wow, you're much more over dramatic than the last time I saw you!"

"Shut up!"

"Make me!" Prue smiled, making Piper smile too, and walked to the door. "Danny! We're leaving! Have you packed everything up?"

"Yes, mommy!"

"Okay... I'll take Dylan... Phoebe had something to do today, so I told her I'd take him over to hers when I was on my way home." She walked along the corridor and entered the room. "Come on, Dylan. We're leaving. Say bye to Piper."

Dylan waved at Piper and leaned in to give her a big wet kiss on her cheek. Piper grinned and wiped it with her sleeve, as she tickled her nephew with her free hand.

"Bye bye, Dyl!"

"Auntie Piper...!" Dan started tugging at Piper's leg, claiming her attention. "I'm leaving too!!"

"I know, Dan..." She bent down and hugged him. "Come and visit me soon, okay?"

"Okay!" He kissed her and added, "I love you!"

"I love you too."

"Bye, Pipe. I'll call you." Prue shifted Dylan on her arms and kissed her sister, then walked towards the door.

Once they were gone, Piper sighed as she leaned against the wall. That had been a tiring weekend. She walked towards her couch and slumped down on it. Her eyes travelled around the room she was in, stopping at every photograph placed on each of the shelves. With the peace and quiet that reigned her home, she felt herself relaxing, not having kids to look after, and knowing that the only person who could come in was already an adult. She let a wave of tiredness wash over her, and she slowly drifted off into a peaceful slumber.
