AN: Thanks so much everyone!!

Piper and Kevin sat at a table on the terrace at the romantic French restaurant. The conversation was going smoothly, the dinner delicious, the mood right.

"…And so, she turned to me and says" Kevin prepared to mimic a little girl's voice. "'Unkie Kev, shut up.'."

Piper chuckled along with Kevin at the amusing tale of his niece.

"Sorry." Kevin said embarrassedly, "I'm going on and on about me, and my family and stuff…"

Piper smiled. "No, no, it's okay. I talk about the boys a lot."

"They sound great." Kevin said, taking a bite of his salad.

Piper nodded. "Yeah…They really are. You know, lights of my life." Here the conversation slowed.

Kevin smiled gently at her. "It must be hard being a single mother." He said softly, not quite sure where this was going.

"You know it can be, but…You take it a day at a time, I wouldn't have it any other way."

Kevin's grin widened. "So tell me, who's Piper Halliwell when she's at home?"

Piper sucked her cheek in thought, "Well, I'd like to think that I'm funny…On occasion. I'm a totally different person when Leo isn't interfering."

"Who's Leo?" He asked curiously.

Piper's face flushed nervously. What could she say? That back in college she'd had a one night stand with the father of her children? "He…It's complicated."

Kevin nodded. "Sure, it's really your business."

Piper heaved a sigh of relief. "So," she began, a coy tone in her voice, "who's Kevin when he's at home?"

Kevin coked his head to the side, his fork halfway to his mouth. "Well," he said, putting his fork down. "I cook. And clean…When I have to."

Piper smiled. "Well then, we'd perfect for each other! I clean. Impulsively."

They both laughed. Then, as they stared at each other, the smiles faded. Her comment had gone over not quite as lightheartedly as she'd thought. They leaned across the small space of the table and their lips met.

His lips were soft and sweet, and he smelled like Zest soap. She loved the smell of Zest.

After a moment, he pulled away. "I'm sorry." he began shakily, stuttering.

"No, no." Piper said. "That was…It was…Don't apologize, I liked it."

He smiled brilliantly. "Can we try it again?"

She smiled back. "Sure." They kissed again. Suddenly, she had a vision of kissing Leo that night in his apartment. She pulled away.

"I'm sorry, I can't." she said, standing.

"Can't what?" Kevin asked, frowning.

"I can't have sex with you."

Much to her surprise, he burst into laughter.

"Piper, sweetheart, sit down." She obeyed. He took her hand and leaned a little across the table. "Piper, I don't know what it is that makes you respond the way you do to things and that's fine. But the last thing on my mind was getting you into bed." She raised an eyebrow. "Okay," he said with a chuckle, "Maybe not the last thing, but I would want to get to know you first."

Piper smiled. The night was perfect.

-----

Piper was singing to herself as she loaded the dishwasher.

"You're the meaning in my life, you're the inspiration…"

"Mommy, you look pretty when you sing. You look happy."

Piper turned around quickly to face Chris. She knelt down and crooked a finger in her direction. He ran to her. "Do I usually look sad?"

Chris nodded. Piper smiled at her son and enveloped him in a hug. "Mommy's not so sad anymore. Sometimes I am, but not anymore. You guys ready for the park?" she asked, her mind already abandoning the dishes.

Chris cheered. Piper smiled. These were the things that lit up her day. Her little boys smiling faces, their laughter, jokes and intelligence.

-----

Piper's eye was watchful as the boys played on the swing sets.

"Piper, will you please talk to me?"

She whirled around to face Leo. "Leo, how many times do I have to tell you. I'm tired—"

He cut her off when he grabbed her arm and pulled her over to a bench where he firmly sat her down. "Listen to me." He snapped, sitting beside her. "I'm still in love with you and—"

Piper jumped up. "Leo, don't give me that shit! I'm a big girl, I can play the game too!"

Wyatt and Chris watched the scene form the swings.

"They yell a lot." Chris mentioned.

"I know." Wyatt replied. "He makes her cry. But he's funny."

"I like him. But I can't if Mommy hates him."

"Me too."

"Piper!" Leo yelled, voice full of frustration, "I didn't want to leave you!"
