Leo finds himself back in his apartment. It's the middle of the night and Prue and Andy are asleep in their room while Piper is sleeping on the couch. He kneels down in front of her and notices she's wearing the locket. He pulls a stray strand of hair away form her face and tucks it behind her ear. Piper slowly opens her eyes at the familiar warm touch that she's missed so much. She gasps when she sees Leo kneeling in front of her.

"Please don't let this be another taunting dream."

Leo slowly shakes his head.

"You're not dreaming. It's really me, and I'm here to stay."

Piper sits up and Leo sits down next to her, extending his arm around her. He pulls her closer and she leans her head on his shoulder.

"I've missed you so much."

"I know, I've missed you too."

"Why did they keep you for so long?"

"They said you had to learn your lesson, what ever that was."

"Yeah, well now they've got the whole Halliwell line pissed at them, except for Grams. She's pissed at herself more than anyone right now. So, why did they let you come back?"

"They said I had to learn the lesson too, and that because of this 'the future looks bleak'."

"And that's supposed to mean…"

"I don't know. And I don't think I want to know."

"Well, I don't care. As long as we've got you back."

Leo smiles at hearing her say 'we'. While being gone, he's had plenty of time to think, and he's glad he's going to be a daddy, regardless of how young he is. He nestles closer to Piper and they slowly fall asleep together on the couch.

The next morning, Andy sleepily stumbles out of his room and over to the fridge to get a drink. He pulls a carton of milk out and drinks directly from it.(a/n ugh! I hate it when guys do that!)After he puts it back in, he starts to walk to the bathroom, but backtracks when he sees Leo on the couch. He walks back to his room and shakes Prue awake. Prue looks at the clock and sees that it's only 6AM.

"Andy, what the Hell is wrong with you!"

"Just get up and look on the couch."

"What? Why?"

"Just do it."

Prue gets up and peers her head out the door. Then she clasps her hand over her mouth to keep from screaming in delight. She turns around and faces Andy.

"He's back! Oh, I've got to call…"

"No one."

"What?"

"Just wait until they wake up."

"Fine, I'll start making breakfast."

"You? Cook? I don't think so, I'll start breakfast."

"I can cook."

"Cereal."

"Nuh uh! I'm a great cook. I used to fix scrambled eggs for Paige when Grams was out shopping and stuff."

"And she's still alive?"

Prue glares at him.

"Fine, but if I die of food poisoning, I'm coming back to haunt you!"

Prue walks out of the room and pulls out the necessary supplies: a pan, bowl, wooden spoon, eggs, and when she pulls out the carton of milk she sees that it's open. She glares back at the bedroom.

"You drank out of the carton again!"

"No I didn't…it was the cat!"

"We don't have a cat!"

Prue can hear Andy say to himself "Damn it!"

Piper wakes up after hearing her sister yelling. She looks up at Leo and sees that he is waking as well. He starts to slide down to try to hide and whispers "Do you think they saw me."

Piper smiles and nods.

"Yeah, I think they did."

She darts up as soon as she hears Prue start cracking eggs.

"You're not cooking, are you?"

"Why does everybody doubt my ability to cook?"

"It's the lack of it that scares the Hell out of us. Let me cook."

"It's just scrambled eggs, the worst I can do is burn them. Now go sit down with lover-boy over there."

Piper turns around to Leo, who's still trying to hide behind the couch.

"I told you they saw you. No use hiding now."

Leo gets up, walks over, and stands behind Piper, wrapping his arms around her growing stomach. Piper smiles and leans back into him. Prue looks at them and awes.

"Aw, the perfect couple!"

Andy comes out of his room after getting dressed.

"Perfect couple, who?"

He sees Leo.

"Oh, right."

Prue rolls her eyes and turns her attention back to the eggs.

"Sometimes I don't know what to do with you Andy."

"Well I could think of a couple things…"

Prue glares at him.

"Damn those Elders for taking Piper's powers. They would sure come in handy right about now."

When Prue looks away from him, Andy freezes. Leo's eyes widen and Piper stands speechless.

"Uh, Prue?"

"What?"

Prue turns around and sees Andy.

"Oh my God! How did that…"

Prue looks at Piper and smiles.

"The baby must really like its Aunty Prue."

Piper looks down at her stomach.

"You don't think…"

Leo smiles.

"Looks like someone has its mommy's powers."

"So…can I tap into them?"

"I don't know. Try."

Piper flexes her wrists and Andy unfreezes and sees everyone's amazed looks.

"What did I miss?"

Piper smiles.

"Your little niece or nephew takes after its mom."

Andy looks at her puzzled. Prue waves her hand and sends the milk carton flying through the air, and Piper freezes it.

"Oh, I see. Does that mean…"

Piper flexes her wrists again and the frozen carton blows up. She freezes the particles mid air.

"Ah, so that means I have to be good from now on."

Prue waves her hand and moves the milk and pieces of milk carton to the kitchen sink.

"Damn straight."

A/N: Piper has her powers back…sort of. That's probably the last chapter you'll get for about a week. My parents won't let me get back on till after the new year, and then school starts up again so… I'll try. Happy New Year!!
