Spoiler This is a Piper/Leo story. I can't and won't broke them apart, or pair one of them with any other character... So, beat it!
Summary This takes place at least 4 years after the baby, which instead of a boy, I 'turn' it to a girl Melinda was born.... I strictly focus on Piper and Leo's life with their daughter, Melinda.
P/S This is my first time writing a fanfic... If u don't like it, say so. I'll try my best to write this story as interesting as I can... and update it as fast as I can... One more thing, I'm posting everything back again. I'd rewrote a few chappies and I'll make the chappies longer now since... Okay, actually, I'd posted this story on a baord before and I'd posted the sequel too. So, I'm thinking of posting both stories under one title... And I'll do it quickly, believe me. I've only 27 days to go till my O-level exams and I don't think it's fair for thos who'd read my stories to wait for another year again... Btw, thanks to the angel who posted a review and made me continue posting again...
It was morning in San Francisco. The sun just rose and the cars were filling all the main streets in San Francisco. In a Victorian manor on the Prescott Street, sat a lady at the table with a cup of coffee in front of her. Her hair was loosely tied with a white ribbon. Her brown eyes were red. Her face was wet with tears and her body was shaking. She sipped her drink slowly and gulped it down her throat silently. Her mind was filled with what had happened last night. The incident. The very incident that broke them... apart.
Melinda cried again. This is the third time this week. "Mommy, I miss daddy..." She hugged her mother tightly. Piper scooped her into her arms and put her in bed. "Mommy, will daddy come home? I really miss him..." The four-year-old said. "I don't know, honey. I just don't..." Piper kissed her daughter goodnight, and went to her bedroom. 'I've to settle this, right now... Or we'll suffer forever' Piper closed the door and looked up at the ceilings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You don't understand!!! They gave me more charges, Piper! You have to understand this!" "This is not about Them Leo, it's about us! You didn't come home for two whole weeks!" "I just can't, Piper!" "You can!" She yelled at him. Leo was taken aback by his wife's yelling. "No, Piper. I can't. You have to understand this!" "No... Melinda misses you like hell, and you? Do you ever been here for her? No! Never! She needs you, Leo!" "She has you and her aunts. You two have to understand my duty!" Leo put her hands softly on Piper's shoulders but she brushed them away. "I can't... Leo. I can't. And I won't!" Piper sat down on her bed, crying. Leo sat next to her.
"Piper..." "Go, Leo" "Piper, I love..." "Go... we better split up" Leo was shocked. "What?!" Piper turned around and looked straight into his eyes "You hear me... Leave us... don't even bother to come back. Go to your charges. We don't need you" Piper stood up and went out from their bedroom. "But, Piper..." "Go, Leo. Go... we'd suffered enough. Just go. Leave us! We can live without you!" Piper stood by the door silently. "How could you say things like that?" "How could you do this to us, Leo? U should leave... I don't want Mel to wake up and see you here...She'll ask too any questions about you" "If that what you want...I'll go then... I love you... and Melinda too" Tears could be seen in Leo's eyes. With that, he orbed out, leaving Piper crying all alone at the door.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Piper was brought back to the reality when the coffee spilled onto her hand. Her swollen red eyes were filled with tears. Tears of pain. She tried not to cry, but failed. Then, a usual voice was heard. "Mommy!!!" A four years old little girl ran into the kitchen, clutching a little brown teddy bear in her arm and went straight to Piper. "Mommy!!! Did daddy come home? Did he?" the girl smiled sweetly at her mother. Piper looked at her with teary eyes. "No, Mellie... He didn't. He was busy..."
Melinda saw her mother's eyes. She could sense the pain that her mother felt. Melinda climbed onto Piper's lap and hugged her tightly. "Mommy, you missed daddy too?" Piper cried on her daughter's shoulder uncontrollably. "I'm sorry, honey... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." Melinda patted her mother's back softly, and then kissed her cheek. "Come on! We'll make a breakfast for you and me!" She smiled and then jumped off Piper's lap and went to the refrigerator. Piper looked at her little daughter. 'She's too little to understand this...'
Phoebe ran into the kitchen, with a hair dryer in her hand. "Oh God! You won't believe what I did last night!!!" She smiled giddily as she sat at the table. Piper wiped her teary eyes and turned to Phoebe. "Sex?" Phoebe nodded and giggled. Melinda was too busy mixing the flour with butter to hear that. "Slow down, Mel's here" Piper helped Melinda putting some milk into the bowl. "He was damn great!!! Oh God!!!" Phoebe went to Piper and whispered. "He was yummy!!!" Piper shook her off. "What's with the attitude, sis?" Phoebe looked at Piper and noticed her red eyes. "Honey, did you and Leo fight, again?" Piper stood there silently. "Oh... He's just busy... You know his duty..." "What duty? Neglecting his own family? Is that a duty? "Piper went to the living room, leaving Melinda wondering what had happened between her mother and her father.
Piper stormed into the living room and sat on the sofa and started to cry. Paige, who was sitting on the coffee table, went to Piper. "Piper honey... Again?" Piper sobbed on Paige's shoulder. "I hate him! So much..." "Really?" The girls turned around just to see a demon, holding an athame was standing behind them.
"Position!!!" Piper ran from the kitchen with her daughter in her arms. She put Melinda behind the sofa and asked her to stay quite. The frozen demon started to unfreeze. Paige rushed over to the demon and took the athame. Alculus the demon sent Phoebe flying into the dining table. "Phoebe!!!" Piper screamed her sister's name. Paige orbed the athame toward Alculus but it was sent back to her. Paige orbed out and the athame hit the wall. Piper went to Phoebe and helped her up. "You okay?" "Yeah... Son of a btch!" Phoebe levitated and kicked the demon to the wall. Alculus stood back up and punched Phoebe on her face. Melinda was scared to see the demon. But, it wasn't her first time to experience all these.
Paige orbed into the attic and orbed back downstairs with the Book of Shadows. The sisters gathered around the book, and Piper flipped through the book to find the vanquishing spell for the demon. Alculus took the athame and shimmered behind them. Melinda yelled out to warn them and Piper froze Alculus before he could attack them. "Thanx, Mellie... Here... The Vanquishing spell..." Piper looked at the page.
The Charmed Ones chanted the spell and flame started to appear under Alculus' feet. The demon unfroze and started to scream his head off before he was gone in a swirl of flaming fire. Melinda, who was hiding behind the sofa, closed her eyes with her little hands.
"Mommy!!!" Melinda ran to one of the Charmed Ones and hugged her. Piper hugged Melinda tightly in her arms. "Uh... I don't want to disturb this mother-daughter moment. But, Phoebe needs help here" Piper and Melinda turned around to see Phoebe with a bloody nose. "Leo!!! Leo!!! Urgh, where the hell is he? Leo!!!" "He won't come... back." Paige looked at Piper. "What do you mean...? Leo!!! Get your ass down here! Phoebe needs you!" Piper sighed heavily. "He won't come back..." Melinda stared at her mother. She dropped the packet of ice onto Phoebe's broken nose and Phoebe yowled in pain.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You didn't even tell us that Leo and you... not together any more" Paige said to her sister. "I didn't want to..." Piper went to the kitchen. "Why? You two are match made in heaven!!!" Phoebe walked into the kitchen while rubbing her nose. "Thank God we have our little Angel!" Melinda smiled proudly at her aunt. Phoebe hugged Mellie and ushered her to go and play in the foyer. "We're just not mean to be together..." Phoebe looked at Piper. "Leo loves you! You love him! What made you two like this?" Paige took out a bowl of raw cookie dough that Melinda and Piper had done earlier, before the demon attacked.
"Well... He neglected us. Mel needs him and where was he? I didn't even know!" Piper sat on the chair. Her eyes started to fill with tears. "Melinda is only four! She's a kid who needs a normal family. A mom that cooks, a dad that's always with her...But... Not like this..." Phoebe sat next to Piper. "I guess... We're just not meant...--" "To be together?" Piper looked up at Paige. They all turned around, and saw a lady with straight silky black hair, a pair of sparkling blue eyes, wearing a long white dress. "To be together?" the lady repeated it again. Phoebe and Piper were shocked to see that lady. "P... P... Prue?"
