Chapter 7

At the beginning of Spring Break, Andy was waiting for Piper in her kitchen. Victor was sitting with him while Prue was helping Piper get ready for their trip.

"You'll take excellent care of her?" Victor asked.

"Of course I will. You can trust me, sir," Andy said.

Prue came into the kitchen and sat down on Andy's lap. "Someone needs to go talk to her," Prue said. "She's saying she's not going."

"I'll talk to her," Andy said. Prue got off of him so he could talk to Piper. When he got in her room, she was sitting on her bed, holding a stuffed animal that Leo had gotten her. She had tears in her eyes and trickling down her cheeks.

"What's wrong, Piper?" he asked.

She shook her head gently. "I can't go."

"Why not?"

"Because. I think he might notice I'm pregnant."

"Well, if he does then you'll have to tell him. But we'll try to hide it. If you want, we can go to my house and I can get you my school sweatshirt. We'll say you borrowed it because you didn't know how cold it would actually be."

Piper smiled and stood up. "Thanks, Andy."

"No problem. Are you ready now?"

"One more thing. Prue had to come, too."

"Ok."

Half an hour later, Andy was driving his mom's mini-van while Prue was sleeping in the front passenger seat and Piper was sleeping in the back seat.

They stopped at a red light and Piper woke up saying, "My baby!"

Andy looked back at her. "It's ok, Piper. Your baby's safe. If was only a dream," he said.

"Oh." She looked around at the scenery. "How long have we been driving?"

"About half an hour."

"Is that it?"

"Yep."

"I'm getting hungry."

"I'll stop at the next restaurant I see. Maybe Prue will be awake by then."

"I am awake," Prue groaned.

The light turned green and Andy accelerated. "I think I see a McDonald's up ahead," he said.

"Sounds good to me," Piper said.

"I bet anything would sound good to you, Piper," Prue chuckled.

A few hours later, they had finally gotten out of California and were on their way through Oregon. Andy was still driving, Prue was reading, and Piper was going through various catelogues, getting ideas for the baby's room.

"Andy," Piper said. "Do you think we could have a rest stop soon?"

"Sure, Piper," he said. "I think there's a coffee shop around here somewhere."

"Great," Piper said.

"That is great," Prue said. "I could really go for a cappicino."

A few more hours passed and they were nearing Washington state. "What do you girls think of spending the night in," Andy looked at the sign on the side of the road, "Yakima?" he asked.

"That's fine with me," Prue said.

"Me, too," Piper agreed. "I'm starting to get sore."

"Ok. We should make it to Leo's by supper tomorrow night, hopefully."

"Does he know that I'm coming?" Piper asked.

"He doesn't know any of us are coming," Andy said. "Don't worry, Piper."

"I'm not, really. Where does he live again?"

"Hope, British Columbia."

The next morning, they left Yakima early. They picked up a few things at the supermarket so they wouldn't need to make as many stops. Even with that, the hadn't made it to Leo's by supper. They did, however, make it not too long after nightfall.

"We're finally here," Andy said. A couple of dogs started barking and Leo's mom came out of the house. Andy got out of the van.

"Andy? Andy Trudeau, is that you?" she asked.

"Yeah, it's me, Mrs. Wyatt. I brought two people along with me. Prue and Piper."

"Well, it's great to see you," Mrs. Wyatt said, pulling Andy into a quick hug. "Leo didn't mention you were coming."

"He didn't know. Do you think it would be alright if we stayed here for awhile?"

"For Spring Break?"

"Yeah."

"Of course! We'll put you in with Leo and the girls can use the spare room."

"Thanks." Prue and Piper got out of the van and grabbed their bags.

"I should've stayed at home," Piper whispered to Prue.

"No you shouldn't have." They headed toward the house with their things.

Suddenly, they heard, "Piper?" They stopped. Piper turned around and saw Leo standing in the barn doorway.

She dropped her bags and started running toward him when she saw him running toward her.

Before she could stop herself, Piper was jumping in his arms and kissing him.

He set her back on the ground and looked at her. "What are you doing here?" he asked her.

"I came to see you. I missed you," she said.

He smiled. "I missed you, too." He kissed her again. "Let's go into the barn for a minute." He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the barn.

"Why did we have to come in here?" she asked once they were in a small room in the barn.

He sat on a chair and pulled her onto his lap. He started rubbing her belly. "Piper, do you really miss me? Or have you moved on from me?"

"What are you talking about?" she asked, trying to kiss him.

He pulled away from her. "Piper, just tell me the truth. Your stomach didn't feel like that before I moved."

She couldn't answer him. She started crying and ran out of the barn. Leo ran after her, all the way into the house. Prue stopped him from going into the spare bedroom.

"Leo, what did you do to her?" Prue asked.

"I asked her to tell me the truth; whether she truly missed me, or if she's moved on to some other guy."

"Why would you ask her something like that?"

"Well, when I picked her up, it was kinda hard for me not to notice her stomach."

"Oh, Leo. Please tell me you didn't actually. . ." she trailed off.

"Well, since I couldn't get the truth from her, can I get it from you?"

"Leo, my step-dad kicked Piper out and accused her of being a whore."

"What? Why?"

"Because, she doesn't know who," she paused, "who the father of her baby is."

Leo had tears in his eyes. "So I was right. She's pregnant. Does she have any ideas of who the father is?"

"Yes. But you should talk to her because I don't know who it could be," she lied.

Leo stood up and headed to Piper's temporary bedroom. He knocked gently and heard her sobbing. He entered the room and found Piper lying on the bed, facing the wall. He walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry for the way I talked to you, Piper. I didn't mean to." He paused, hoping for a response. When none came, he continued. "Prue told me that your step-dad kicked you out again. I'm really sorry about that."

Piper rolled over and looked at Leo. "Did she tell you why?"

"Yeah. Do you have any ideas of who it could be?"

Piper nodded. "It's one of three guys, but no matter what tests say, I only want one of them to be the father." She smiled at him.

"So, who are the three guys? Do I know any of them?"

"You know all three of them. Dan Gordon, Jeremy Burns, and," she paused and looked from him, "and you."

Leo grabbed her hand and kissed it. "The only reason you don't know is because those ass holes raped you, isn't it?" Piper nodded. "I'm really sorry for how I acted in the barn, Piper."

"I know," she said.

"Do you want to go for a walk and talk about stuff?"

"Maybe tomorrow. I'm really tired."

"Ok." He got up to leave the room, but stopped just before he reached the door. He turned to face Piper. "I love you, Piper. I never stopped loving you, and I'm sorry I haven't been there for you."

"I love you, too, Leo. Goodnight."

"Goodnight." He left the room and Piper drifted off to sleep.

In the livingroom, Prue and Andy were snuggled up together on a sofa. Leo walked in and flopped down into a chair.

"What's up, man?" Andy asked Leo.

"Nothing," he answered. He looked over to Andy and Prue and asked, "What's new with you guys?"

"Not much," Prue said. "After the last Good Charlotte concert we went to, Andy asked me to marry him," she smiled.

"Wow! That's great guys! Congratulations."

"Thanks," Andy said.

"So, how's Piper doing?"

"She's ok," Prue said. "She told Jeremy about the baby and he's willing to take responsibilities and help her through everything, even if it's not his baby."

"What about Dan?" Leo asked.

"He doesn't want anything to do with the baby. He'll get tests done just to prove one way or the other, but that's it."

Everyone was quiet for a few minutes. Finally, Prue said, "I think I'm gonna go to bed. I'll see you guys in the morning." She kissed Andy quickly, then headed to the room she was sharing with her sister.

"We should probably get to sleep, too. My Dad's gonna have us up pretty early to feed the animals," Leo said. They both stood up and headed to Leo's room.

In the morning, Piper woke up to see her sister still asleep on the cot that was put in the room. She decided to get up.

She walked into the kitchen and saw someone looking at a newspaper at the table. She got a glass out of the cupboard and poured herself some juice. She sat down at the table and the then other person put the newspaper down, and that's when she noticed it was Leo.

"Morning," he said.

"Good Morning."

"How did you sleep?"

"Good."

"That's good. I'm really sorry about how I acted in the barn last night."

"It's ok, Leo. You have a week and a half to make it up to me," she smiled.

"That's good," he smiled back. "It sucks that that's all we have."

"Yeah. But I have to get back to school."

"Why don't you move up here and go to school with me?"

"I can't keep moving, Leo. It's too hard on my family, me, and my baby."

Leo looked sad. "My parents won't let me move back to the states yet. They want me to finish high school here."

"Oh." Piper finished her juice and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Leo asked her.

"To get dressed." She started walking out of th kitchen and then quickly turned around. "Leo, don't tell you parents about the baby. Please."

"Ok. Hurry up and get dressed. I want to take you somewhere."

"Ok, I will." She quickly walked down to her and Prue's room, grabbed some clothes and went into the bathroom to get dressed.

Ten minutes later, Piper met Leo in teh living room. He had her sit down so he could put her shoes on her.

"Leo?" she asked.

"Yeah?"

"What will you do?"

"About what?" He was done with her shoes, so he sat beside her.

"If the baby'e yours?"

He took her hand in his. "If it's my child, I'll find someway to get back to California, or have you moved up here. We have plenty of room as you can see."

She chuckled. "That's true. And there's plenty of room at both of my parents' places."

"Yep. But I thought your step-dad kicked you out?"

"He did. My mom's dealing with him. She's had enough of him kicking her daughters out." She smiled at him. "So, what did you want to show me?"

"Oh, right. Let's go out to the barn," he said as he stood up. He grabbed Piper's hand and helped her stand.

They walked out to the barn, hand in hand. "Can you get on the horse?" he asked.

"I think so. I"ve been riding Beauty back at my dad's place." She slowly got on the horse, then Leo got on his.

"We're going into the wilderness."

"Okay."

Twenty minutes later, Leo was lying on his back with his arm around Piper who was lying on his chest.

"It's beautiful out here, Leo," she muttered.

"I know. I come here a lot."

"With who?"

"No one. I come out here to be alone. It's really peaceful out here."

"It really is. Especially compared to San Francisco and San Fernando."

"Leo, I'm going to miss you when we leave next week," she said, sitting up.

"I'm going to miss you, too." He sat up and kissed Piper passionately.

For a few moments neither of them pulled away. After a little while longer, Piper pulled away from him. "Leo, we need to get back to the ranch."

They climbed back up on their horses and slowly went back to Leo's Canadian home.

That's it for now. Please review.
