AN: Sorry this took so long, I had to rewrite it TWICE!! I was so pissed!! But it's okay…Now. Thanks for your reviews!! I already have another story idea, and am currently writing it but I won't but I want to finish this first.

Leo pulled his boxers on and crossed the room to the bathroom door. He rapped his knuckles lightly on the door. "Pippy!" He said, leaning against the taupe wall. "Please come out. It's not all that bad." He heard a low guttural sound and a thud. He rolled his eyes. Okay, she was going Drama Queen on him now. "Piper," he begged, "please come out."

The door flung open and there she was, face flushed, three fingernails already visibly gnawed. He grabbed her before she could do anything and brought her fingers to his lips, kissing them. "Aww, baby," he said as caring, but sexy as he could, "I thought we broke this habit."

"We broke nothing!" She snapped, pulling her hand away. "And when you say stuff about your mother, I back up so fast, I revert!"

Leo smiled sympathetically. "Well, baby—"

"Don't "baby" me!" Piper replied angrily, though blindly.

"Okay, okay." he said exasperatedly. "Piper, it won't just be Ma. It'll be a Wyatt Family Reunion."

"OH MY GOD!!" Piper said, backing up again. "The whole lot of them!" She shut the door again.

Leo knew there was only one thing to do.

"You do know you can't buy my love."

"I know."

"And you do know you can't buy my forgiveness for just springing this on me."

"I know."

"And you do know you can't buy your way into making me like your mom."

"I know."

"Well in that case, let's go!"

Piper pushed the door open into the jewelry store. It was one of her favorite places to shop. Aside form the clothing store Sparkle, down the street, which she would also take a dip in so long as she was on the same street.

"Baby," Leo said, sliding his hands around her waist, "lets's go home. It's Saturday, for once, were both off."

Piper turned around to smirk up at him. "What, you're afraid to lay a little money on some baubles for your 'Baby'?"

Leo grinned at her. "Yes, very much so."

Piper smiled at him. "I guess I can be persuaded to lunch on the terrace of that bistro…"

-----

"And so, it actually wouldn't be that bad all and all."

Piper frowned at her boyfriend. "Not that bad?" she said, voice filled with incredulousness. "Not that bad?" Piper cast her fork aside. She leaned across the table for him. "Honey, I know you love her…But she is the devil incarnate."

Leo just looked at her, blank faced for a moment, then he chuckled, taking her hand, noticing her wrist adorned with a new tennis bracelet. She'd gotten both the jewelry and the lunch. "Pippy, baby, it's okay, I promise. If you come…We'll go out to that clothing store we saw last time. You know, the one you thought was 'quaint'."

Piper smiled. "Alright, Leo. But if she kills me, I will haunt you to insanity."

"Wouldn't have it any other way."

AN: Short chapter, I know, don't be mad. Let's just say when we start trotting the Wyatt family members out…It'll be a mess, with the crazy aunt, the drunken brother-in-law, the cousin Jethro (that's right, Jethro) Everything'll go to hell in a handbasket.
