Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed. Hey, lets all go sabotage the set and take over! Then none of us would need to write these stupid things anymore!

A/N: My apologies for the lameness of this chapter! I think I've obviously been suffering from COWC (See Leolover4ever's review response thingy) with this fic, so any ideas (I do like your idea Gryffindor620-it's just a tad hard to put in right now-maybe after they become witches...) I'm grateful for...now I'm suffering from COWC in my A/Ns...

Charmed Love: NO! Stop crying right now-the chapter was not intended for that! I know...Kern still aint got the message, and his thing about not giving what the people what really want is actually a load of crap, in my opinion-although it does make us watch it anyway. I've just discovered that here in the UK there are only about 6 episodes left to the end of the season, which sucks! And ya...they should so be together and them not being together is really bad...I now have to watch all the re-runs that I know have P/L moments in them. The reason they can't be together on the show: Kern...stupid Brad Kern and everyone else who's behind the show! I'm so glad you enjoyed this chapter!

Charmedobsessi: I'm working on it, I'm workin' on it....chapter 5 they spend the night together-but in not so many words...and I'm thinking they probably did in this chapter...

Charmboy4: Thanks...I'll try and update soon...I have S.A.T.S until the 7th, so after that I'll have more time to write and post! YAY!

Leolover4ever: Thanks, I'm glad you liked it, I'm sorry I haven't updated, but I seem to either have COWC (Can Only Write Crap) or I keep getting ideas for other fics, or I'm writing part for chapters that I don't want to put in yet....if that make any sense.

HyPeR-PiPeR-312: Yay, I always enjoy your reviews. I like the fuzzy feeling I get when reading a really good P/L fic or even watching them occasionally- it's well weird! Ya, I could picture it too, that's why I wrote it. I'm sorry I left you hanging, but as I said I had...still have COWC, and I really don't wanna write crap! And I've been kinda busy too. And how cares about repetitiveness, as we've just been told, it's a good thing, and exam boards like it. And I don't care about lack of originality; I've just had a BIG falling out with Tesco and their shopping trolley. In other words the trolley kinda collapsed on me, so I landed on my hands and knees, and now have a mahussive blue plaster on my hand-and this happened an hour ago, and it still hurts/stings like hell!

Patricia: Thanks, glad you liked it!

Classicchic: Yeah, it was very sweet wasn't it?

OrbingPunk: Yeah, I thought that was quite funny! Glad you liked it!

"Hey beautiful." I heard as I woke up, it took a minute for me to realise that I'd woken up next to Leo.

"Hi." I replied tiredly, "Have you checked up on Melinda?"

"Yes, she's still sleeping peacefully."

"Oh, good." I said as I snuggled closer to Leo. "It's nice waking up next to you-I'd like to do it more often."

"Are you asking me to be around more?"

"Maybe...yes, if you could."

"Well, I can try." Leo said as he kissed me.

For a couple of months Leo was around a lot more...but soon things were about to change.

Leo wrapped his arms around me, and was about to kiss me when I stopped him. I'd had enough. I needed answers.

"Leo, where the hell have you been!?!"

"Hi, nice to see you too!" Leo said, I glared at him, "I was with a charge."

"Well, it was nice of you to let me know that you were going to be late."

"Piper, you knew that I'd be late sometimes, you knew they'd be certain complications before we got back together."

"Yeah, I know, but still...It takes you what two seconds to orb home, couldn't you take just two seconds to orb home and tell your wife that you're going to be home late?"

"Piper, you know I try."

"Do I? Leo this has been happening far too often. Melinda and I hardly see you anymore; you need to do something about it."

"I need to do something about it? Piper, I'm not the one with the problem."

"No, you're right, you are the problem."

"Piper, what do you mean by that?"

"I mean, you're never around and when you are, it's only for two minutes at a time! You're always off with a charge, haven't you realised that you have a wife and child-can't you see that we need you too! In fact, you once said that we were your charges, so couldn't you just find some time for us? And it's your job, that's causing problems around here, only it's not you're job, it's who you are. It's you. Leo, you are the problem!"

"Piper..."

"No Leo, I've had enough of your damn excuses, maybe you should just leave!"

"But Piper, how...I lo..."

"Goodbye Leo!" I yelled as I walked out of the room, once I was round the corner I turned around and saw Leo sitting on the bed devastated...what had I done, had I really just told Leo to leave? My heart was breaking to see Leo looking like that, I did...no, I do love him; we're just going through a hard time. I turned around to compose myself, then I walked back to our bedroom, but by the time I got there Leo had gone.

Leo had gone, but he had left a short note for me.

'Piper,

I'm so sorry, I wish I could change things...but I don't know how. I've tried Piper, I really have...I'm sorry.

Always, Leo.'

Oh my God, what had I done? I decided it was probably best to wait a while and let things cool down before calling for him.

The next morning I woke up cold and alone. 'Where's Leo?' I thought, then I remembered the fight we'd had, and that I told him to leave. I shouldn't have done that, I just shouldn't. I kept kicking myself for that; I needed to speak to Leo, apologize.

"Leo, Leo?" I shouted looking skywards. There was nothing.

"Come on Leo, I need to talk to you-about Melinda." I was figuring if he wouldn't come for me, he'd at least come for Mel, my theory was right.

"What, what is it? What's wrong?" Leo said looking around.

"Leo, I need to talk to you."

"Is that it? I thought something was wrong with Melinda..."

"Leo, you weren't answering me, I just figured if you wouldn't come here for me, you'd come here for her."

"Ok, so why do you want to talk to me?"

"Because, this morning I woke up alone, and I didn't like that-I missed you. I want to apologize to you. I didn't mean what I said last night..."

"Yes, you did. I could tell from your voice and expression."

"Well, I didn't mean everything I said; I didn't want you to leave, the truth is I need to have you around. That's what I meant to say yesterday; I need you around and I also need to know that you are around if I need you." I looked over to Leo, I could tell I was getting to him, his face was growing softer.

"I understand, it should probably be me apologizing. I'm the one who's hardly around; if you'll forgive me and have me back I'd like to try to be around for the two of you more."

"Well, in that case you better start trying!" I said smiling. Leo smiled back at me as he embraced me.

"Thank you." Leo said before kissing me, which of course I melted into.

A/N: I'm really sorry about the shortness of this chapter...my mind's a big blank on the end of this chappie...and I just needed to write in a little (or big) fight between the two...hey, I was in the mood (no...not for that! Jeez! Would you please get your mind out of the gutter?).
