A/N: Okay, this is to make up for the slow updates. Two in one day! (If you haven't yet, go back and read chapter seven, I wrote both this and chapter seven today).

Chapter Eight: It's Positive

Piper sat on the toilet seat in the bathroom, too scared to look at the test. She had waited the correct amount of time, but she didn't want to know what it said. Piper had been late for her period this month, and it had been about two weeks since she had slept with Leo. She was afraid of what that would mean, so she had gone to buy a home pregnancy test.

Piper took a deep breath to calm herself down and realized that she had to look at the results. Hopefully it would be negative. Taking another breath, Piper looked at the test. It was positive.

Staring at it, Piper began to cry. This couldn't be happening. Not to her. It had to be a dream. But every time she looked down she saw the same thing. Piper dropped the test in the trash and cried for a long time in her room.

Finally she stopped and just sat on her bed. She knew she must look a mess from all those tears. She couldn't let anyone see her like this. Suddenly the door opened and Piper looked away.

Too late, Ashley had already seen the tears streaked down her face and Piper's bloodshot eyes. "Oh my god, Piper what's wrong?" Ashley asked, hurrying over to her friend.

Piper shook her head. "I'm fine."

"No you're not. Come on, tell me what happened."

Ashley sat on the bed next to her and Piper leaned on her friend. After a few minutes she began to speak. "I was late this month, and I knew I had slept with Leo two weeks ago. I was hoping it was nothing, but then I took a home pregnancy test, and it was positive. I'm pregnant Ash. I'm going to have Leo's kid."

Ashley looked shocked. "Oh god. This can't be happening."

"I know, I can't believe it."

Ashley sighed. "You know, it could still be a mistake. Those things aren't always accurate. Maybe you should go see a doctor."

Piper nodded, a little bit of hope returning to her, although she doubted she would get news that this wasn't true. "I have to tell Leo."

"You should wait until you see a doctor. You don't want to alarm him if it's not true."

Piper shrugged. "I should just tell him anyway."

"Okay. Do you want me to go with you to see a doctor? We can get an appointment today."

"Yea, thanks."

"No problem. I'll call your doctor, you can go talk to Leo."

Piper stood up shakily and gave her friend a hug. "Thank you so much."

Ashley smiled and picked up the phone as Piper headed over to see Leo.

Piper walked into the boys' dorm unnoticed as she came in here a lot to see Leo and everyone knew that. As she passed a few said hello to her and she answered quickly before going to Leo's room. Leo answered the door and invited her in.

"I need to talk to you," they both said at the same time.

"You go first," Leo said.

"Okay. Basically, my period was late this month, so I took a home pregnancy test. It was positive, so I could be pregnant. But before you freak, Ash and I are going to see a doctor today if possible to see if it could be a mistake."

Leo was silent for a little while. "Wow. I don't know what to say. I really can't believe this is happening again."

"Again? Leo, what the hell do you mean again?"

Leo cringed.

"Leo!"

He sighed, but finally told her what he meant. "About a year ago, I was dating a girl named Tara. We slept together a few times, and then one day Tara told me she was pregnant. She went to a doctor and everything, and she was definitely having a baby. Then, when Tara was about 6 months pregnant, she was in a car crash and she died."

Piper didn't know what to say. She was torn between feeling sorry for Leo and being pissed that she was not the first girl he had gotten pregnant. Suddenly she turned and ran out the door, leaving Leo alone in the room.

It was only later that she remembered Leo saying he needed to talk to her as well.

OOO

"Piper Halliwell?" a nurse called.

"Come on, it's your turn," Ashley said, leading Piper to the door.

It was Sunday, a day after Piper had told Leo about her possible pregnancy. She hadn't spoken to him since then. She and Ashley had gone to see the doctor yesterday and were back today for the results.

The nurse led the two of them into a room and informed them that the doctor would be there in a minute.

"Hello Ms. Halliwell," Dr. Thomson said, walking into the room.

"Hi," Piper replied weakly as Ashley greeted the doctor as well.

"So, I have the results from the tests we did yesterday. You're not pregnant."

"Excuse me?"

"You're not pregnant. You should be getting your period in a few days, you were just late this month. Now, if you have any questions, you may ask them. Otherwise you're free to go."

Piper stared at the doctor, shocked.

"Well thank you, Dr. Thomson. I don't think Piper needs anything, but we'll call if she does. Thanks again."

Piper stood up and followed Ashley out of the room.

"That's good news, isn't it?" Ashley said as they walked back to campus.

"Yeah. But I really thought I was going to have a baby."

"I know, but you're not."

Piper nodded.

When they got back to campus Ashley headed back to do some studying. It was the last week of school, so they had two more finals and then they were done for the year. Piper would be going back home for the summer to see her family. She knew Leo was going home to Connecticut as well.

Piper headed up to Leo's room as she had done so many times before to tell him the news. She was pissed at him, but he deserved to know. She knocked on the door and Kyle answered the door.

"Hi, is Leo here?"

"Hi Piper. Leo's right here." Kyle turned and Leo walked up to the door.

"Can we talk outside for a second?"

He nodded and walked down the hall with her. "What happened with the doctor?"

"I'm not pregnant. False alarm."

He let out a sigh of relief. "That's good news."

"Leo, yesterday you said you needed to talk to me about something. What?"

Leo looked away from her for a moment. He wouldn't look back at her as he spoke. "Well, the school year is going to be over in a few days, and then there's summer. I'm not coming back here next year."

"What?"

"So basically, we're probably never going to see each other again. So I though there's no use having a long distance relationship, so we might as well just break up."

Just as she had done yesterday, Piper turned and ran. She had no idea where she was going, she just ran. When she stopped, Piper looked around and realized where she was. This was the spot Leo had taken her that day when they had a picnic and went canoeing. This was their spot.
