AN: Thanks for the reviews everyone!! This skips a little time. Please don't be mad at me, this may be a little sudden after Piper's previous actions. But in my defense, what girl wouldn't be swayed by such a romantic gesture? I myself am a hopeless romantic and well, that's not always good...Anyway...Fortunately for us, Piper and Leo finally get together and we will see their relationship in this chapter, but this is not the last chapter, as you will see, because...well, you'll see. BTW, this chapter will be kind of fluffy.
"Yeah, I need the lights in by Tuesday." Leo watched as Piper talked on the phone. "Okay, just get it done or I'll take my business elsewhere." Piper hung up. Leo smiled at her. "What?" Piper questioned, looking p from her list.
"I don't know." He admitted with an ill-behaved smile, "You're kinda cute when you get all demanding and bossy. It's really kind of sexy. She walked around the bar and rested her hands on his shoulders.
"Sexy, huh? It's not that easy to get into my pants I'm afraid." He snapped his fingers as he slid his arms around her waist.
"You decide what to name the place yet?" Piper nodded excitedly.
"P3."
Leo cocked an eyebrow. "And that would mean?"
"Well, Prue, Piper, Phoebe, 3 'P's', P3. See, I'm going to invite them for the opening."
"Mmm, sexy, kind, assertive and family-minded, everything I'm looking for." They kissed fervently, Piper tightening her hold around his neck.
"You want to go to my place?" she asked. Leo smiled.
"That sounds good—" His cell phone rang, interrupting them. Piper groaned. Leo pulled away reluctantly and answered. "Hello?" A short pause. "Beth, I'm kind of busy right now." Piper made a disgusted noise and walked back around the bar. Leo sighed. "Alright, I'll be right there." Piper gave him a look and he held his hands out helplessly. "Bye." He hung up. "I'm sorry." Was the first thing out of his mouth.
Piper scowled. "Leo, that's the third time this week!"
"I know, I'm sorry, but we're both gunning for the promotion and Elway has got us working together on the record label case." Piper sighed. Leo gave a weak smile. "I promise we'll go out to dinner tomorrow night." Piper frowned but then gave a small, goofy smile.
"Okay." They kissed.
"See you later." They kissed again and she followed him out and climbed into her Jeep. She dialed Prue.
"Hello?"
"Hey Prue!" Piper exclaimed.
"You haven sounded this happy in a long time, honey are you sick?"
"Prue."
"Alright, what's going on?" Piper smiled at the devious plan that she'd formulated.
"You know I'm opening my own club..."
"Yeah..."
"Well, I'm naming it P3 and I wanted to invite you and the in-laws in for it." Prue opened another file as she sat in her in home office.
"Piper, I don't know, is Phoebe going to be there?"
"No." Piper lied. Prue considered this.
"Well, the kids wouldn't get to into the club aspect, but it would be nice for them to finally meet their aunt." Piper felt a pang in her heart. Now why'd she have to go and say that?
"Yeah." Piper agreed. She was happy that her plan was falling into place. "I'll call back later. Bye."
"Bye." Both women hung up and Piper proceeded to go through the same process with Phoebe, who readily agreed when she heard Prue wasn't coming. Oh well, the lies would be worth it if her sisters would get along again.

"So you lied to them?" Leo question as he kicked off his shoes.
"The way you say it makes it sound bad." Piper replied, handing him a carton of Chinese.
"They're going to kill you when they find out."
"If they don't kill each other first." Piper countered, sitting on his lap in the armchair.
"Make yourself comfortable." He retorted. She pulled her feet up in the space that was left.
"Spread your legs." Piper ordered. Leo smiled naughtily.
"Isn't that my line?" he joked. She narrowed her eyes at him.
"Yeah, yeah, very funny, do it, I'm freezing my ass off, I need to suck up your heat."
Leo frowned. "What's up with you today? You've been fighting me on everything. First when we go get the food, you argue that you hate egg drop soup, which you love, then you tell me on the way that I took the wrong exit to get here, and now, this. You're not still mad about the Beth yesterday are you?"
Piper took a bit out of her shrimp fried rice. "How do you know I love egg drop soup?"
"Piper, that's not the point, what's up?"
Piper sighed. "No, I'm not still mad about the Beth thing. It's just...the club."
"What!?"
"Well, it's just, what if nobody comes and the whole thing goes belly up." She said, setting her food down. Leo did the same.
"Look at me." He said sternly. After a moment, she looked into his pretty aqua colored eyes. "You will do great. People will line up to get in and you will be busy all night. And I will be right by your side." Piper smiled.
"You are so great." They kissed, simply at first, then more passionately.
"You know," he started, "We never did get to finish what we started yesterday..." She smiled.
"No, no, we didn't." Then his cell phone rang. She let go of his neck and dropped her head to his chest. Piper looked at him. "Answer it." She said resentfully.
"I need you to get up." He admitted. She did and flopped over to her couch where she sat down sullenly. He answered. It was, again, Beth. After talking, the two hung up, agreeing to meet at the office.
"Beth again?" Piper asked angrily.
"Aww, come on now Piper, don't be like that." Leo replied with a sigh as he pulled his shoes on, "You know I don't want to be with Beth anymore, I want you." Piper stuck out her bottom lip in an immature fashion. Leo rolled his eyes and kneeled beside her. He leaned over to whisper in her ear.
When he pulled away he had a smile on his face and her eyes were wide. "Leo, I never heard you say anything like that before." He kissed her.
"Never wanted to do that to a girl before." They kissed once more before he left.

Piper was happy to have Prue back in her life. She hadn't seen her sister in 5 years. And she hadn't changed one bit. Well, except now she had a husband and two little kids, but otherwise, no change. Emily and Derek Jr. were the kids and they were too cute. They were 4 year old twins and had dark hair like both their mother and father.
"...And they are doing so well in school and they're always having play dates and it's just so great!" Prue gushed as she and Piper sat in the couch, while the kids and Derek Sr. played outside. "Anyway," Prue said suddenly, "I was thinking about what hotel we would stay at—"
"Prue," Piper interrupted, "we talked about this, the kids can sleep on the pull-out and I'm putting you and Derek up in my room. I'm um, staying with Leo." Prue smiled knowingly.
"So, tell me more about this 'Leo'."
Piper blushed. "There's not much to talk about. He's a good guy, you know, sweet, caring, holds down a good job, has a nice house, but..."
"Uh oh." Prue said, taking Piper's hand. "'But' what?" Piper shook her head.
"It's nothing."
"Piper..."
"Alright, alright! He works with his ex and they're working together on a case and he always has to run off to see her. It's like he's gone in a matter of seconds, you can just see little lights around him as he disappears." Prue laughed.
"Piper, how serious are you?" Piper shrugged.
"I don't know, I told him about...the incident and he's still with me so..."
Prue smiled. "Don't worry about it. He obviously cares about you. If he was cheating, do you think he'd want you to spend the night?"
"No." Piper admitted.
"Problem solved. Bathroom's down the hall, right?" Piper nodded and glanced at her watch as Prue walked to the bathroom. Phoebe was supposed to have been there...There was a knock at the door. Piper ran to it and flung it open.
"Phoebe!" she said.
"Piper, hi!" Phoebe looked just as great, her hair cut cute and clothes trendy as they were a pink belly shirt and some jeans. They hugged effusively.
"Just drop your stuff off in my room." Piper said. And when Phoebe went to do just that, Piper's plan sprung into action. Piper got her, the kids and Derek's things and dragged a chair out into the hallway. She locked the door from outside and put the chair up to the doorknob. She listened as her siblings realized that the other was there.
"Prue, what are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here?"
"Piper told me you wouldn't be here."
"Piper told me that you..." Prue angrily tried the doorknob, to no avail. Despite herself, Piper giggled.
"It's not funny!" Prue insisted. There were three consecutive bangs at the door which made Piper jump.
"I'm not letting you out until the opening tomorrow. Work it out!" Piper shouted. Piper ran down stairs to where the kids and her brother-in-law were waiting.
"You're one tough cookie." Derek said with heavy Brooklyn accent.
"Thank you." Piper replied. "Well, I'm going to take the kids off of your hands..." she noticed the apprehensive look on his face. "Don't worry Derek; I'm just taking them to my boyfriend's house where I'll have my eye on them 100 percent." Finally, Derek nodded.
"Alright, okay, you got all the instructions?" Piper nodded. The two shook hands, but then, unexpectedly, Derek pulled her into a hug. "They can be a handful." He said sympathetically. "Just be careful, I'm going to the hotel." "Piper nodded.
"Have a nice time."
