New York
What? P3?" Leo rolled his eyes.
"Yes, we're planning to open in a few months."
"Yes, but that was before we decided to get married." he argued.
"I don't think our marriage will make a difference."
"It does Piper, you'll be my wife. You don't need to work for money."
"I like working." She insisted.
"No you don't, you'll be spending all your time taking care of our children."
"I can handle it." Piper demanded.
"Taking care of a club is very time consuming. That's why I proposed earlier."
"You never wanted me to open P3." She realized.
"Trust me Piper; I know what's good for you." Leo said coolly.
…………………………………
Prue and Phoebe followed Piper to the front door.
"Be careful." They said, hugging her tight.
"Remember to call us." Prue added.
When Piper woke up, she found herself lying on the bed, with her lover sleeping peacefully beside her. She knew what she had seen in her dreams was what happened in her past. It's incredible that she was here now, with the man who understood her, never pressured her, and loved her for who she was. Piper unconsciously touched her finger, to assure herself there was no engagement ring. She had run away from Leo because she didn't want to be tied to him. If she ever saw him again, she would handle it better. She would openly tell him that they had nothing in common; their marriage wouldn't make them happy.
While Piper was still lost in her thoughts, she felt Cole touch her shoulder, caress her arm down to her hand.
"What are you thinking Angel?" he asked, placing a soft kiss on her hand.
"I saw Leo and those two women in my dream, again." She answered. "Since I remembered Leo is my…was my bossy fiancé, I figured I could remember who those two women are."
Cole sat up and leaned against the headboard and pulled Piper close. "I know how important it is for you to remember them, but you can't rush it. Just let it come. Your memory will come back, I promise. Your doctor knows best, doesn't he?"
"Yes he does." Piper smiled, wrapping her arm around him.
He kissed her hair, tenderly. He still couldn't believe she loved him, but he promised himself that he would do his best to make sure she never regretted her decision.
"Come on." He said, rubbing her back. "We need to go shopping, we're cooking lunch together."
Piper lifted her head. "What about work?"
"I'm taking the day off. I just need to stop by the hospital to check on a couple of patients, and then I'm all yours."
'All mine? Have I got plans for you." Piper whispered, and then she kissed him.
Frank Evans couldn't believe it. All he wanted to do was help and he gets roughed up for his good deed.
"What's her apartment number?" Leo demanded.
"I don't know. She took a cab to Metropolitan Hospital and I never saw her after that."
"Couldn't you have missed her?"
"I don't think so. The guy she was with moved out two days ago and she wasn't with him."
Leo couldn't believe it. Piper was living with another guy, while she was engaged to him.
"Who is he? Where is he?"
"Look, I'm just the doorman here, I don't know their names!"
"Which way to the hospital?"
"Take a cab, they all know the way."
After Leo left, Frank went back to his post, promising himself he'd never get involved, again.
"Wow, I forget how big New York is." Phoebe said.
"I'll feel better once we find Piper. I just hope someone nice is helping her." Prue said.
Frank was standing by the door when he noticed the three people walking towards him.
"Can I help you?" he asked the trio.
"I'm looking for Frank Evans. I'm Lieutenant Darryl Morris from the San Francisco Police."
"I have nothing to say." Frank said curtly.
"Wait a minute." Darryl argued in surprise, "We had a deal."
"Next time you want some answers don't send your partner to rough me up!"
Darryl was confused. "What partner? I don't have a partner."
"Says his name is Leo Wyatt."
Pure and Phoebe looked at each other.
When Cole and Piper entered his office he pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
"Are you going to be okay, here, while I check on a few of my most important patients?"
Piper placed her hand on his cheek and smiled.
"I'll be fine, now go. The sooner you get going the sooner you'll be done. Then I can have you all to myself."
Cole kissed her again, and then left.
Sheila noticed Leo the second he walked into the hospital.
"I wonder if he's married." She whispered as she followed him to the front desk.
"Good morning, sir." Nurse Richmond said.
"Have you seen this woman?" Leo asked, showing her Piper's picture.
"Yes, she is…I mean was a patient here. She was discharged a while ago. I'm sorry; I don't know where she is now."
"What was wrong with her?"
"I'm sorry; you'll have to talk to her doctor, Dr. Turner.
'Where can I find him?"
"Excuse me sir, may I see the picture?"
Sheila smiled when she saw the picture. Now she can get rid of the bitch and Cole will be hers, again. And no one will come between them.
"I do know who she is and I'll be happy to help you find her."
Leo smiled for the first time in weeks. He Was close to finding Piper and he'll never let her out of his sight, again.
