On with the show!
"Piper! It's your turn!" Leo shouted rolling over in bed to wake Piper up to go and check on a crying Melinda at 2.30 in the morning.
"It was my turn last time, when you were PRETENDING to be asleep!" Piper reminded Leo wiping the sleep from her eyes.
"But you're better with her." Leo said still arguing his point even though Piper was halfway out the door.
Piper stood over her young daughter's crib for the fifth time tonight.
"Hey honey!" She picked her up and held her close rocking her slightly from side to side. "What's all the noise for huh? You're not hungry, don't need a diaper change. Are you just lonely? Is that what it is?" Though judging from the grin spreading across her face the second her mother picked her up, this was clearly the reason. Even after Melinda had fallen asleep, Piper couldn't bear leaving her. She sat still staring at her baby girl. She had so much and was still only 22.
"Room for one more?" Leo asked whispering from the door frame. "I couldn't sleep." He walked tip-toeing over to his wife and daughter. "She's so beautiful" he exclaimed proudly. "Though I don't know what else to expect with you as a mother" he said complementing Piper on her own beauty.
"I know, and you for a father! Couldn't really go wrong could it." Piper said still swaying.
"Looks like she's sleeping?" Leo stated. "Why don't you come to bed?"
After yawning, Piper gave in. She placed baby Melinda in her cot and tucked her in tenderly. "Night night sweetie"
The next morning, Piper woke up to Leo and Melinda on the chair next to her bed and instinctively smiled.
"Good morning" Leo said seeing Piper. "I thought today we could show Melly off in the park?"
"Sure" Piper said sleepily.
"I've fed and changed her. So all you have to do, my darling, is sit back, relax and enjoy our company!"
"You're too perfect" Piper said as she sat up and waved at her child held safely in her father's arms.
"Oh and I may have another little surprise for you" Leo said standing up and holding Mel to Piper leaving her to wonder what he could be talking about.
Walking around the park pushing Melinda in her pram, seemed like the perfect way to spend an afternoon. People kept coming over to admire the baby and tell Piper just how cute she was. In the distance Piper noticed four familiar figures walking towards them carrying a basket.
"So, Piper, did you forget how to use a phone?" Grams asked when they were closer.
"I'm sorry Grams, I know I haven't called much lately but we've been really busy" Piper returned after hugging grams and taking the basket off phoebe and finding a suitable patch of grass for them all to sit down.
"Melinda not sleeping well?" Prue asked catching the bags under her sister's and brother-in-law's tired eyes.
"No, she was up every half an hour last night." Leo added stifling a yawn.
"What, this little thing?" Phoebe joked picking her out of her push chair. "She's too cute to be naughty aren't you" cooing over her niece.
"I can assure you she's not!" Piper said clearing the situation up.
"OK now that that's settled, can we please eat?" Prue asked, her stomach rumbling. "I'm starving!"
They sat and ate as one big happy family joking as they always did. Even the newest arrival seemed fully content surrounded by her parents, great grandmother and aunts.
"Well, I guess we'd better be getting this little one home" Piper said placing a sleeping Melinda carefully back into her buggy. "I think this little one has had enough excitement for one day!" she was looking over at her baby playing the perfect mother loving her new daughter more than she could ever imagine and linking her arm through Leo's.
"Don't be a stranger ok?" Grams said hugging her granddaughter again. It must have been hard, watching someone you've known their whole life now living their own life with a new family. This was something that Piper had to look forward to.
She hugged both of her sisters in turn before making her way home. She never knew how a simple day just spending time with her family could have been so tiring.
In the car ride home, Melinda was a perfect little angel. Piper rested her head on Leo's shoulders whilst stealing glances at the sleeping child in the back and with that, they were home. Walking through the doors with Melinda in her basket in one hand, and Leo's hand in the other, for the first time, it was clear, they really were a family. The Wyatts!
OK I know that was really short and pointless, but I just wanted a little chapter that would show them as a family but don't worry I'm not done just yet. And you will be glad to know that I think my writer's block is going again lol I'm about to write the next chapter right now making it 3 chapters in 2 days hehe! So I will update soon!
