Chapter 16: Freaked

Disclaimer: I don't think I own charmed... maybe I just have amnesia and I really do own charmed I just forgot? Ahh a girl can dream eh?

A/N: Soooo hmmm a baby..... still don't know what Leo thinks. Read on now to find out. (oh I would be so good in advertising.. or those lil voice overs on tv shows... 'find out in the next installment of...... The Lissy Show!!!!!! )

Piper finished and looked at the blank expression on his face. Even him getting angry would be better than no reaction at all. "Leo?" she finally pushed.

"No that's not possible, you can't be we were always so careful"

"I know I thought so too but theres nothing else it could be."

"How could you be so stupid?" Leo was now starting to shout.

"Um hello it's not like it was all me!" Piper hated fighting over this, she hadn't intended for it to happen either. Leo had seemed so sincere when he said he would be there for her. 'What had changed in the past two minutes?' she asked herself. She hoped that this was just the stress talking. She had reacted the same way at first. How would she get through this without Leo by her side?

"When did you find out?" Leo asked once he had calmed down slightly and the news was beginning to sink in.

"Day before yesterday" Piper said quietly looking down at her feet. She didn't want another reason for Leo to get angry at her when it was beyond her control. "I didn't know how to tell you, I had to find the right time."

"And that happened to be our anniversary? I've been looking forward tonight all week and now..." His anger was rising up but he didn't want to blame Piper, he didn't know what to feel. He knew it was only the stress, he didn't know if he was ready to be a dad, he was still only 23, Piper only 21 herself. He needed to be strong for her sake.

"You say it's not definate?" Leo asked trying desperately to find a way to make it work.

"Well no, but I'm pretty certain." Piper nodded.

"Okay well I'll run out and get a kit first thing tomorrow, if you can wait that long." He said sitting down next to her again. "say you are? What do you want to do then."

"I dunno. I've always wanted kids, and I love you I couldn't think of a better father."

"Okay so if you really think we can do this, I'll be with you the whole time. I knew when I married you there would be hard times. We'll get through it." He grabbed her hand and pulled her in towards him and kissed her head. "We'll make it work" He repeated for his own benefit just as much as Piper's.

That night neither of them slept. They could feel eachother twisting and turning throughout the night, knowing that the other one was awake but too scared to mention anything. Tomorrow everything would be clearer. They could be scared over nothing.

Leo got up and went out as soon as he thought the chemists would be open. Through all of Piper's fretting she had finally fallen asleep. Leo had to know for sure so he bought a home pregnancy test and nervously waited for her to wake up.

After she awoke, they still hadn't spoken Leo sat anxiously in the living room with one hand on his head and the other drumming tensely on the coffee table waiting for Piper to emerge and they would hear for definate the results.

Leo heard the door open and saw Piper slowly walking out to face him. He instinctively looked up at her.

"I'ts positive" she said almost a whisper after her voice getting trapped in her throat.

"I'm gonna be a Dad!" Leo smiled for the first time in two days. He had obviously had time to get used to the idea.

"Looks that way" Piper said smiling back at him relieved to hear that he wasn't angry.

Leo again ran over to her and picked her up, spinning around with her in his arms. "We're having a baby" he laughed. "We're gonna be a real family, just me, you and this little one" he said placing his hand on her stomach. "I love you, I'm so sorry I overreacted yesterday" He put her down but didn't let go.

"its understandable, it''s a lot to take in. you're really ok with this?" She asked although she could already tell judging by the enormous grin spread all over his face.
