Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed...this is getting very tiresome...You should all know, by now, that I don't own Charmed, because obviously things would be a bit-uh, very-different if I did! Piper and Leo, forever and always!!!!

A/N: YES!!! You can all thank Five For Fighting for relieving me of my writer's block! I didn't want to do this, this early on, but I have to-you all know that!

Damnit! I've just remembered I've been using 1st person for this fic...and now I've written some of this in third...I'm just gonna leave it like that- cause it'll take too long to change!

Charmboy4: Cool-glad you liked it.

HyPeR-PiPeR-312: Wow...it's a long'n, and I'm laughing here, so bear with me...I didn't really want them to fight, but their relationship has been too fairytale like, I gotta chuck in a fight every now and then. Glad you were relieved at the end. Yup I'm gonna give 'em more ordeals...or I could make it all happy; the little-white-rabbits-hugging-red-hearts-with-a-rainbow-in- the-background kind of happy. Which would make it incredibly cheesy happy, kinda surreal happy but hey! Thanks for saying it was good, but I'm pretty damn sure that I am being affected by COWC. AWWWWW...I'm sure you could live without my P/L fics...hmmmm...I wonder if I could actually earn anything from my crap...ponders the possibilities Ok, I'll update when I'm done with S.A.T.S, but I've got nothing after this chapter...(I'm sorry...S.A.T.S were over like 3 weeks ago!)

Charmed Love: Good, good! We only have two eps left now...part one and part two...and of course the damn TV people have to split them up(eps)! Wicked...the more the merrier...so far there's me, Jessi (hey freaky twin...you rock!), Marina, Aida, Josh, and my mate Rich who I asked today...he says he'll come as long as he can abseil down from the roof... Yeah...whatever happens in this fic always remember that Piper loves Leo and Mel...

Pipery03: lol...that's good to know!

Classicchic: Aren't we all?

xXx rt xXx: I think we're all glad they made up, and I'm glad you're liking this fic.

Gryffindor620: yup...hope you don't mind me adding some more drama in the mix...there'll probably be quite a bit of drama in this fic now...

Chub: It's ok. Glad you like it and as you can tell from this chapter they'll be getting their powers very soon.

Piper xox Leo: I know...yup....
Something inside me is breaking

Something inside says there's somewhere better than this...

Sunset falling on April skies

Bloodshot fire clouds in her eyes

I can't say what I might believe

But if God made you he's in love with me

"So, Mellie's in bed and we've been busy all day; what do you want to do now?"

"Oooh...tough choice. But I'll have to go with sleep." Piper said yawning, Leo frowned, that cute frown of his.

"No...wrong answer," Leo sighed. Piper glared at Leo, and he looked back at her, with a playful look in his eyes. "I'll ask you again, what do you want to do?"

"Hmm...I'm happy just sitting here," Piper murmured leaning against Leo's strong chest. The rhythm of his heart in his chest was soothing, and for just a second she closed her eyes.

"Piper?" Leo asked after a few minutes of silence. Piper opened her eyes, and groaned looking up.

"Well, if that's how you greet me, I'll just be leaving then..." Piper jumped up, now wide awake.

"No! No, you don't...you are not going anywhere mister." Piper exclaimed, just as she put her arms around his neck and gave him a small, soft kiss, an attempt to make him stay...she knew he probably wasn't really going to go, but she figured what the hell?

Leo pulled Piper to the couch and pulled her down next to him. He smiled at her; she smiled back...knowing they were both thinking the same thing.

"God, you're beautiful!" Leo said in awe.

"Shut up!" Piper protested.

"Make me!"

With that Piper crawled over to Leo, and with a knee either side of his lap, cupped his head in her hands and kissed him passionately.

Their lips parted and Leo seemed to be frozen...

"Leo?" Piper said softly.

Leo's response was another kiss. This time they were both kissing with a burning fire inside of them...it was one of those kisses, that always made Piper feel as if nothing else mattered...lost in the kiss, she stood up and still kissing Leo, their bodies entwined she pulled him over to the stairs... (Need I say more?)

The next morning Piper awoke, in Leo's arms, to see Leo gazing at her lovingly; still smiling from the events of the previous night. Sleepily she turned so that she was on her side, looking at him. She sighed, making patterns on his chest, their breathing rhythmically matching each other's. Both Piper and Leo wished that they could stay like that in each other's arms for an eternity; but they both knew that sooner or later they would have to move.

It happened to be sooner for the phone rang.

Slowly Piper reached over to the phone.

"Hello?" Piper said groggily.

"Piper?" Said an obviously upset Prue.

"Prue? What's wrong?" Piper said quickly, she was worried for her sister.

Piper sat silently while Prue poured her heart out to Piper. In a daze, Piper hung up the phone, and turned to Leo.

No words were needed to be said; he instantly took her into his arms, and let her cry into his chest.

"Piper, honey...what's wrong?" Leo asked softly after Piper's sobs had died down.

"L...Leo, it...its Grams..." Piper tried to say before breaking down into his arms again. He sat and comforted her, until she was finally ready to talk.

"She...she had a heart attack and fell down the stairs...she...Leo...I don't believe it, she's dead!" Piper said still sobbing into Leo's chest. Somehow Leo felt a tear trickle down his cheek...Piper's Grandmother had always been so kind to him; it seemed odd to think that she'd never be there again.

After Piper had calmed down a bit, Leo went to get Melinda ready for the day, a while later he returned to find a suitcase on their bed, and Piper standing by the cupboard, deep in thought.

"Piper, honey...what are you doing."

"Leo, my grandmother just died! Things need to be arranged-the funeral and all that stuff, I can't just let my sisters sort everything out, it's not right..." Piper said trailing off.

Leo looked slightly apologetic for asking, he should have known better.

"Sorry...do you want me to come with you?" Leo asked, he really wanted to make this easier for Piper-he didn't know how, all he knew was that he had to make this as easy for her as possible.

"I wish you could, but...my family all think that you're dead...maybe later-but not now...they can't hear this today..." Leo nodded and walked over to Piper.

"I understand. I really do; what are you going to do with this one?" Leo asked handing a quiet Melinda to her mother; she always could pick up on the moods of other people.

"I'll have to take her with me. You'll enjoy seeing your aunties won't you?" Piper asked Melinda. Melinda chuckled in response fiddling with her mother's hair and watching the sun dance on the window. "I mean, I couldn't leave her here-you have your charges, or whatever. But I'll be able to call you right? So you can come and visit, and we won't be gone too long."

Leo nodded wrapping his arms around Piper's waist, he also had Melinda clutching onto his hand, looking up at her father-smiling at him.
A few hours later Piper arrived at the manor. She'd cried so much at first...she didn't think it would be possible to cry any more...but she was wrong, the second she got out of the car she felt a tear trickle down her cheek. Before Piper had gotten Melinda out of the car her sisters came rushing out to meet her.

"Hey," Piper greeted her sisters as she finished getting Mel out of the car.

"It's nice to have the two of you back," Paige responded, taking Mel out of her sister's arms.

Prue embraced her younger sister and Phoebe cooed over her niece. Slowly the group moved inside. Half an hour after entering the house Piper returned to the living room where her sisters were waiting. She sat Mel down in the playpen that had already been set up there. For a couple of hours the girls talked about what would happen next...the funeral...and then what happened with their lives after that. They didn't want to lose each other...but no that Grams was no longer here they all knew about the very real possibility of drifting apart; Grams had always been the one that tried to keep the sisters together...and somehow she'd ended up still relatively sane.
A/N: Ok...so I came out of my writer's block a while back...then I kinda forgot about this...but I know I have to update...one of my problems was getting to where the story's headed...I know some major things that I want to happen so I had to kill off Grams, so that they can receive their powers. I would of liked to have waited for a while so that I could get some fluff in somewhere...but it looks like this fic will be less fluffy, and more of a build up for Return of a Stranger...which will follow this and I have many ideas for it...so I just need to get on and finish this fic. So, review, review, review...and with all your support I'm sure I'll be able to work on this fic some more.
