AN: Thanks for all the reviews, YOU GUYS ROCK!!!! I love you guys so much!!! I'm sorry this took so long. I think it'll be a lot of drama with the addition of Kevin into Piper's already hectic situation. But if you're a PiperLeo fan, just bear with me.

"…He actually said that?"

Piper nodded. "Yeah, he's taking me out Saturday, after the Pulse shoot."

Prue nodded. "You do know that's' like…"

"Kismet." Phoebe supplied.

"Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of…Obsession."

Phoebe frowned, corrupting the dreamy look. "Prue, hello! The guy told her she had a happening bod…And, he likes kids. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!! Hello, we could have a winner!"

"I don't like it." Prue said stubbornly.

"You don't like anything." Piper said, slapping the bowl of popcorn into Phoebe's lap. "'I gotta go check on the kids." She said, moving out of the living room towards their bedroom. What she found was a full on pillow fight.

"You little monsters!" she joked, watching them play. As long as they didn't break anything, it was all good. She heard a knock at the door. Piper waited for one of her sister's to get it to know avail.

She looked down at her black pantyhose covered by a knee length white sweater. Last time she'd answered the door so thrown together, Leo had been on the other side. She rolled her eyes and threw the door open.

And who would it be? None other then Leo Wyatt.

She glanced back into the living room to see if her sisters were watching, but alas, they were caught up in a TV show.

"We have got to stop meeting like this." She snapped, then followed with, "What the hell do you want?"

Leo frowned. "Piper, I just want to talk."

"I don't want to talk to you!" she said angrily. All of a sudden, a wave of exhaustion washed over her. "Leo." She began, losing her fierce eyes and cat claws, "I'm tired. I'm tired of fighting you. I'm tired of protecting my kids from you, day in and day out. I'm tired of waiting for the next time you will try and stir up all that old shit."

Leo was speechless.

"Leo, I'm tired of everything. I was a dumb kid back then who made a lot of mistakes. I dreamt big, but aimed low. And now when I've got a chance do something, be something better than I've ever been in my twenty-five years, and you just want to snatch it away from me by bringing up the past."

He could have sworn that her normally strong voice wavered and that her eyes were welling up with unshed tears.

"Leo, I've got a chance now. I feel different…Revived, full of fresh air. But how can I live if won't let me breathe?" In that moment, she turned away from him, and walked into her apartment where he heard it lock with a click.

Well, he wasn't letting her get away from him this time, he rapped on the door causing her to jump away from it.

"PIPER!!" He yelled, "OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!! I WON'T GO AWAY UNTIL YOU TALK TO ME!!"

Piper turned away with a sad shake of her brunette head.

"What's going on?" asked Prue worriedly.

"Nothing." Piper said quickly. She walked to the kitchen as the banging continued. She squinted her eyes against the noise and turned on her radio, doing her damndest to tune the world out.

-----

"Nobody ever said love was easy, even if you say 'I love you'. Nobody ever said love was easy, even it was true." Piper found herself singing the tune she'd heard Candace singing in the restaurant. Piper had asked Candace where it had come from. Apparently, Candace's 15 year old niece thought she could be the next Britney.

"So many nights I wasted, by the phone, at your door, I wish you'd just realize the love is still there, even if we can't claim it anymore." Piper belted the last three words loudly and switched of the audio tape. "She's good." Piper admitted to Candace.

Candace nodded. "I know, my own little Chelsea!"

Piper smiled. "If she can just manage to stand out, she'll be like…The best thing since sliced white bread."

"Exactly!" Candace declared. "Which is exactly why I convinced Mike to let her sing here tomorrow night!"

Piper raised her eyebrows. "You're kidding me! I always thought that Mike was such a coldhearted bastard. Huh, learn something new everyday!"

Candace giggled, but quickly frowned upon look at the doorway." He's been here everyday, all day for the past week."

Piper followed her eyes to see Leo entering. "Oh God." She mumbled. "I'm gonna go check something in the back." She announced.

Again, she found herself singing. "So many nights I wasted, by the phone, at your door, I wish you'd just realize the love is still there, even if we can't claim it anymore…Nobody ever said love was easy, even if you say 'I love you'. Nobody ever said love was easy, even if it was true…"

Piper glanced over her ensemble in the mirror. It was a black backless dress with low-cut front, with baggy black pants that hung loose around her legs, but clung to her butt and hips.

She heard a knock at the door.

"I'll get it." Phoebe called.

Great, Piper thought, This time you get the door.

Piper grabbed her black clutch and walked to the living room. Kevin was standing there, a dozen red roses in his hands, looking excellent in a black blazer and black jeans, with a sky blue shirt on underneath.

"Won't you two be the funeral twins?" Phoebe smirked.

Piper glanced at her siter but returned her eyes to Kevin.

"You look…" she began.

"You look…" he said.

"Oh, would you have sex already?"

"PHOEBE!" Piper yelled. She turned her attention to Kevin who was smiling sheepishly. She walked over to him and took his hand with a stunning grin. "Let's go, shall we?"

AN: Okay guys, what'd you think? I've planned what I hope is a stellar ending. I'm quite pleased with myself though I think you guys will be surprised…Anyway, while I continue my evil plan, you can drop a review!! Muwahahahaha!!
