"I can't move." Piper admitted slowly.
Leo laughed loudly. "Oh… Don't I know the feeling."
Piper smelled his jacket, which he'd wrapped her up in. "If feeling ever returns to my body, I have to go back to the party." She sounded sad, unwilling.
Leo shimmed halfway into his pants. "Do you really have to go?"
Piper nodded. "Yeah. We can't do this. I have a husband—"
"Who hits you!" Leo said angrily.
"It was an acci—"
"Well, DAMN!" Dan shouted as he wrenched the car door open. Both Piper and Leo stared at him. "I knew you were fucking my wife!"
Leo realized that he was madder than Dan was. "So hard she bounced!" He snapped. Piper covered her face as Dan pulled Leo out of the car, half-dressed and all. Before any of them knew what was going on, Leo hauled out and slugged Dan right in mouth. "Damn, I've been wanting to do that for weeks."
Dan lunged for him and a scuffle started in the parking lot, causing Piper to scream. "Leo! Dan! Stop that! This is crazy!" She was halfway out of the car when the yelling and flashing lights started.
"Put your hands up!" Piper slid her feet into her shoes and got out of the car making sure the coat was tight around her. She saw 3 police cars, and a man with his gun pointed on aim at Leo. Oh God, he was going to get arrested for assault, or public nudit—Shit, the gun wasn't pointed at Leo at all! It was trained on Dan! People filed out of the party to watch the goings-on as the man with the gun shouted again. "Everybody, put your hands UP!" he shouted forcefully.
Piper didn't dare question his will. Jesus, here she was, almost naked, in front of all her friends and family, the police and her husband was about to be arrested or shot at any rate. She squeezed her eyes shut and prayed for the best.
Leo didn't know what to do. One moment, he was in the most heated struggle of his life, the next, the cops were shouting orders at him. What the hell had he done? The cop strolled over to Dan and handcuffed the defeated man's wrists. He started to read him his rights. The whole thing was a blur of lights, sounds and surprise. And upon seeing her husband being lowered into the police vehicle, Piper fainted dead away on the ground.
Piper crossed her arms. Since the whole scene at the party, way over 3 hours ago, she hadn't been given any clothes, food, or drink. Just a whole lot of questioning from the police. "I've told you, five billion times, I had no idea about all that stuff."
The police men, a Detective Cory Halverson and Blake Spenshaw, glanced at one another. Halverson nodded briefly, meaning she could go. Piper stood and exited the room, Leo coming out of the room next door. "Let you go?" she asked worriedly.
Leo smiled at her. "Yeah, but it takes that Special Agent Spencer forever to get 'I didn't know anything' through his head."
Piper smiled shyly. "Yeah, Halverson and Spenshaw weren't much better." They walked outside and wincing, noticed the brightly shining sun. They stopped in front of the police station. They just stood, looking up at the baby blue sky.
"Who'd have guessed it?" Leo asked.
"That Dan committed tax fraud?"
"Yeah."
"I should have."
Leo shook his head. "No, you're supposed to be able to trust your husband."
Piper looked at him. "They showed me evidence that he'd been cheating. They've been following him around for months now, to catch him about the fraud, but he was cheating on me…Cheating on me. For a full year." Piper paused. "But I suppose I have no right to be mad at him, what's good for the goose is good for the gander."
Leo laughed, then grew serious. "Why don't I take you home?"
Piper was mildly surprised as they pulled up in front Leo's apartment building. "What are we doing here? I thought you were taking me home."
Leo didn't respond, just climbed out of the car and pulled her out of the other side. He didn't say anything until he'd carted her up to his apartment and shut and locked the door securely behind them. "You are home. This is where you belong."
Piper laughed. "In your living room?"
Leo grabbed her and held her to him. "In my arms." He stopped, just held her for a moment. "In my hands…In my bed. In my heart." He inhaled her scent deeply. "In my home. Uh, our home. Giving birth to my children—"
Piper pulled away. "Your what?"
Leo laughed softly. "I want to give you the life he wouldn't. I'm going to make you feel beautiful and wanted everyday. I want to kiss you slowly every night, and do it all over again the next morning. I want to give you the children you want to mother. I want to grow old with you. I just have one condition."
Piper was crying, but smiling the biggest smile he'd ever seen. "And what's that?"
"Will you, Piper Halliwell, be my wife?"
Piper just looked at him for a moment. "Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" She jumped into his arms and he spun her around. They kissed.
AN: Okay, wow, this is the second to last chapter. The next one will be the last one and it will be… So happy and sad at the same time. Let's just say Piper's ready to move on… (Hee, hee, hee…Please review!)
