AN: I just wanted to thank you all so much for your reviews. Thank you so much!
Piper's mind was still whirling as they walked into the courtroom. He had asked her to marry him. Marry him. And what had she said? Nothing. Nothing. All she could think about was the fact that she couldn't really have the coffee she'd desperately wanted. She'd made noises like a blubbering idiot. She was supposed to say yes. Yes. Was that so hard? Piper looked up as the judge walked into the room with the verdict. Leo held his breath as the judge took her place on the bench. Oh God, what if he lost Emma? He couldn't loose Emma. Loosing Emma would be like loosing his will to live. He'd have Piper, but when he felt lost in the world, being around would do neither of them any good. His heart pounded in his head and anxiety lay heavy in his heart.
Judge Dean opened her mouth, grim and solemn. "When dealing with custody battles, it's not a matter to be taken lightly. It takes much thought and consideration when the well-being of a child hangs in the balance. Considering the circumstances, I will keep this short and sweet. Emma is to remain in full custody of her father, Mr. Wyatt, for twenty-four months, at which time, the case can be revisited."
Leo sat stock-still for a moment, as did Piper beside him. What? They'd won. Won. Won. WON! Finally able to react, Piper and Leo grabbed each other in a fierce hug. Next thing they knew, Emma was beside them, hugging them as well. When they all pulled away, Emma immediately started babbling. "Guess what? That man gave me some crayons and some paper and he let me draw! He drew with me too! He draws good. And, he gave me some cookies! Well, one cookie, but it tasted so good…" Piper and Leo smiled at each other as Emma babbled away.
They watched Amy and Harland stalk out of the courtroom. Not to they were sorry to see them go. The bailiff walked over and smiled at all of them. "She's a great kid." He told them honestly.
Leo looked over at him. "What's your name?"
"Marc Linden."
"I'll remember that." Leo promised seriously. Taking their hands, Leo walked Piper and Emma out to the car. He loaded Emma and the backseat and with a low, satisfied sigh, let Piper pull him to the side of the car. "What are yo—" He stopped as Piper kissed him passionately.
His eyes were closed as she pulled away. "Yes." She murmured, cradling his check.
"Yes?"
"Yes." She said, smoothing her fingertips over his cheek. "Yes, I will marry you."
Leo hugged her intensely. This day when he thought his whole life was going to fall apart, it was coming together, the pieces fail-safe. Smiling knowingly, Piper took his hand and placed it lightly over her stomach. "What?" Leo raised his eyebrows. "Are you—"
"I think I'm pregnant." Piper said, still smiling. She'd never looked more beautiful to him.
"Are you sure?"
"I don't know for sure." Piper told him slowly. "We have to go to the doctor, but—"
Leo grabbed her and kissed her the same way she'd done him. "Oh God, you are so beautiful. I love you."
Piper smiled and happy tears trickled down her cheeks. "I love you too." They climbed into the car.
"Hey, Emma," Leo said as they pulled out of the parking lot, "guess what?"
A few seconds later, Emma screamed. "Oh my God, I'm gonna have a baby sister! Or a baby brother! It can share my room…"
AN: Yeah, that was way short I know, but it was a goodie, right? I thought so. Anyway, I love you guys! Thanks and please review!
