Thanks for reviews! I know sooo long since the last update but I hadn't a clue what to right and I don't think people are liking this fic anyways!
Dislcaimer: I don't own any of the Charmed crew but I own Noah, Kym, Lotttie (well Lissy owns her sort of because she loved her so much I gave her to her!) (Charlotte), Hallie and Jack (and any other characters that happen to appear!)
Chapter 8
Piper woke up to find Charlotte still sleeping in her arms. She stood up gently lifting Charlotte and set her in her bed. She placed a small blanket over her and left the room and walked down stairs. Leo heard feet and looked up from behind the paper. He saw Piper. She walked over towards him.
'Hey.' She said softly.
'Hi.' He set his paper down and stood up. 'Are you ok?'
Piper knew she had to tell him that she wanted a baby but how? What could she say? She had never had to ask before because they sort of just happened. What would she say?
'Um...Sort of.' She said. Sort of?! She mentally yelled at herself.
'Sort of ? Piper what is it? You were snappy at the table so something is bothering you. Tell me.' His eyes brows knit together.
She looked up at him with her brown eyes. He lifted his hand and took hers in his. He sat down and pulled her beside him. She continued to look into his eyes.
'Piper what is it?'
'Well...' She whispered. 'I've been thinking.' She said.
'About what?' He asked. He didn't know what was wrong with his wife but he wanted to and he was going to get it out of her.
'I want another baby.' She said, in a soft whisper.
'You want what?' He said. He hadn't heard what she had said.
'I want to have another baby.' She said louder this time. Leo heard her that time. He wasn't sure what to say. He hadn't expected this. He thought she was happy with the twins and Lottie.
'You do?' He asked. Piper looked at him and nodded her head. She knew by his reaction that he was keen on the idea.
'Leo, I have been thinking about this for a long time and I want it. I know I do. Look I can tell you're not keen on the idea so I'll let you think about it.' She said letting go of his hand. Leo watched her walk into the kitchen. He breathed heavily and then sunk into the chair. He didn't know what to say let alone think. He loved his kids dearly and enjoyed them being small and playing with them but he also wanted to get past the small age and grow up and eventually leave. He could see in Piper's eyes that she did want this and she wanted it bad. He wanted to give Piper the world and everything she wanted and he could afford it, but giving her another baby? He didn't know. He decided to go for a walk. He left a small note for his wife and left the house closing the door. Piper jumped and dropped the fork onto the floor with a clang when she heard the door shut.
Leo walked down the cold, winter street which he lived on. He breathed and his breath formed in the air. He came shivered and pulled his jacket closer to his body. He came to a bench and sat down on the cold wood. He sighed and looked out over to the clearing of grass. He saw a father pushing his new born baby in its stroller along the path through the grass. He smiled as he watched the father make faces at the baby in hope of making it smile. He had remembered doing that with the twins as he pushed them in their double stroller and how he enjoyed seeing their small faces light up and the feeling of proud flowing through him. Proud that he had and his wife had not only created one angel but two. And he also remembered hearing about Piper's news of Charlotte. He was so happy. He loved his twins and having another baby would complete him but having another one?
He sat for about 30 minutes thinking about everything and then he shivered and decided that maybe he should go home. He stood up and headed back home. He got to the front door and opened it slowly. He walked in a bit and suddenly someone grabbed his leg. He looked down to see Charlotte holding on to his leg and then he heard giggling and Kym ran down the stairs.
'No no! Don't get me! Daddy is saving me!!' Charlotte shouted out.
'Nuh uh! Daddy isn't playing! Stop being such a cheat!' Kym said and she grabbed Charlottes leg. 'Let go Lottie!'
'No!' Charlotte screamed out. She gripped harder onto Leo's leg.
'Lottie, baby let go of Daddy because he has to go and talk to mommy.' Charlotte reluctantly let go and ran off while Kym was looking in the mirror. She giggled and Kym turned round and growled like a lion and ran off chasing her up stairs. Leo smiled and then he heard soft sniffing. He knew it was Piper. He went towards the kitchen and peered in through the crack in the hinge. He saw his wife sitting on the kitchen chair with a hankie in one hand, crying. His heart broke at the pain he had caused her all because he didn't give her a straight answer. But he couldn't just give her one. He needed to think about it and now he had he was sure of his answer. He opened the door and walked in. Piper looked up and wiped her eyes and got off the chair and went back to the work top and continued slicing carrots.
'Piper.' Leo said. She stopped but didn't look round. 'Look I thought about what you said.' She turned round and Leo saw her red eyes.
'Look Leo I understand that you don't want this I mean we have three kids already and having another would cost more and...' she stopped and began crying again. Leo went over to her but she pushed him off.
'Piper...' He said. 'Listen to me. I want to have another baby. Piper I do.' He whispered. She looked up at him, her eyes still producing tears.
'Really?' She choked out.
'Yes, really.' He smiled and she fell into his arms. She let out a cry and Leo hugged her tightly and sshed her.
'Oh Leo I'm so happy.' She said.
'Me to honey, me to.' He said and kissed her hair.
