Guilty arrivals

Leo carried on watching her eat, she was so beautiful. Shaw her hair was flung everywhere, and she had no make up, but she still had something, something natural that shone though it all.

She sat munching until it as all gone, at which point before she spoke and burnt Leo's heart once again, he took the plate and walked to the door. But he was to slow; she caught him just as he was leaving. An with his back to her, scared to look at her if he cried with the pain of her love for Dan, he listened to her sweet angelic voice.

"Em… Leo, about last night," he nodded not wanting to break the trail of soft words leaving her beautiful mouth, "about last night, how did I get here?"

He laughed on the inside, wondering what on earth she meant. "well I picked you up form the club and drove you home," he said smiling to himself at the though that he had been her knight and not Dan, like back when he had first loved her.

"And that was all?" she asked, snapping him back.

"Yer that was all," he said not glancing at her but walking forward he didn't want to look back in that room, with the knowledge it was their room.

Piper sat relieved, as Le left her to her own devices. There had been no sex, no cheating, although she had embarrassed herself. But she could live with that, but more to the point she hadn't sunk to his level, Dan's that was, no she was going to be better than him.

Le stood in the kitchen the plates, where slowly slipping into the bowl, he stood in his boxers only, he had taken of the t-shirt as not to get it wet.

An as he dipped his hands into the water, the doorbell rang, and as he had heard the water begun to rush in the bathroom, he had remembered thinking about Piper's beautiful body under its embracing water a thought he really shouldn't of had. He walked to the door, his soapy hands drying as he walked. An then as he opened the door came a familiar face, Prue Halliwell's.

Prue knocked forcefully, Roger was still messing around with the taxi driver, complaining about the cost or something. What did he expect they had got a plane from L.A as early as they could, and now had got the first taxi they could. He hadn't had to come, he never did. But Prue did, she was worried, and when she worried she had to protect.

Piper was he little sister, her best friend, her maid of honour at her wedding, and she knew her better than herself. Which had been why last night when she had arrived home, another night of parties in L.A had preceded her, and she heard the voicemail from the manager at P3. "Piper's not well, I think she's had a bit to much to drink. We've rang the manor but not one's in, and I think Dan's away. If you could get back to us, I really think there's something wrong with her, thanks…." And so it trailed of into details, and numbers. But without another word, Prue was directing Roger, pack the bags, ring the airline, we're going to the manor.

She had dreaded something like this for so long, since the accident. (That was what they called it, no one could say miscarriage, it brought back to many painful memories. When it happened Phoebe was fighting with Prue, Piper was in the middle, no one knew where Paige and Glenn where, and Piper the stress was mounting. Dan wasn't around much, business and so on.

In away Prue blamed herself, she was supposed to protect Piper, Piper and her daughter. She had failed, or even helped. She blamed herself for the stress, she had convinced herself it had been that which had made the miscarriage. If she had just been there, maybe things would be different.

Prue breathed in deep, she could hear footsteps coming along the hallway, usually she would use her key, but she decided to make the arrival seem surprising instead of intentionally turning up. Although Piper would know it, Prue wasn't going to tell her.

Hay thanks for the reviews I had two free hours between two of my exams and it was too cold to go up the village, so I borrowed a computer and hay here it is lol. I hop you like it and please review as you can see this one is longer, and I hope it sorts any confusion about the sex. Prue's point of view on Leo is coming up next, and maybe some Dan.
