A/N: Sorry for the wait. Thank-you to my reviewers. Here is the next chapter.
Chapter 7
It was very hectic at the old ranch. Everyone was there because in a few short hours, Leo and Piper were getting married.
Piper was sitting in her room having Patty do her hair when Jess and Mel ran in, wearing their pink and purple dresses.
"Mommy, Mel and me were wondering if our last names are going to be different tonight," Jess said.
"I don't know, sweetie," Piper said. "What do you want you last name to be? Halliwell or Wyatt?"
The girls shrugged. "What will you name be, Mommy?" Mel asked.
"I don't know. I haven't thought about it," Piper said.
"Piper," Patty began, "each time I got married, I kept Halliwell. My mother did, as well. Mother loved my Dad very much and kept his last name. I'm letting it be your decision, where I had no decision at all. Mother made me keep Halliwell. . ."
"Mom, I don't need the entire story. I think I'll keep the tradition," Piper said.
"Are you sure?" Patty asked. "You don't have too. Prue didn't."
"I know, Mom. I want to, though."
Patty gave Piper a hug and said, "Thank you, Piper. That means so much to me."
"I know. And besides, I like being a Halliwell too much. I know I always would be by blood and spirit, but I like having that name."
"So, the girls' last name will be, what?" Patty asked.
"I think we can decide that later," Piper said.
After the ceremony, that was interupted by Sam, everyone gathered around the deck, chatting and congratulating the new family. Piper and Leo were standing together, each of them holding one of their daughters.
"Hey, congratulations," someone said.
"Thanks," Piper said. "Um, I don't mean to sound rude, but who are you?"
"You don't recognize me?" he asked.
"No, should we?" Leo asked.
"Well, I don't know about you, Leo, but she should. After all, I fed her."
Leo handed Jess to Piper, then punched the guy in the face. Jess and Mel started crying and everyone turned to see what the commotion was.
"Get out of here," Leo snarled.
"Why should I?" the guy asked.
"What's going on over here?" Andy asked as he made his way through the crowd.
"This guy is a lunatic!" the guy said. "I compliment the bride, and he slugs me!"
"What? You did not compliment her," Leo said.
"Ok, well sorry guys, but you have to be taken to the police station," Andy said.
"Good," the guy said. "I want to press charges."
"What? That's crazy!" Leo exclaimed.
"Guys, shut up!" Andy yelled. Andy and Darryl, who was one of the guests at the wedding, took Leo and the other guy to the San Fernando Valley police department in seperate vehicles.
"Girls, go find one of your Aunts or Grandmas, I'm going with you Uncle Andy and Daddy," Piper said.
At the police station, Leo and the guy are still arguing. They have been put in seperate cells so they can't physically fight.
Andy then walked in so he could see both of them and talk to them. "Ok guys, since I'm not from this department, I can't really be a part of this, but I've talked to the local guys and they're letting me deal with it at the moment."
"Andy, come on! You know me. You know I wouldn't do anything to anyone unless they deserved it," Leo said.
"I know, Leo," Andy said. "But that doesn't matter."
"Andy," Darryl said as he headed toward the three men. "Piper said she wanted to come in."
Andy nodded and waved her over from the end of the hall. She went to the man who she didn't know.
"Who are you?" she asked, looking in his eyes.
"Oh, Piper. I feel hurt that you don't remember me," he said. He reached his hand through the bars and grabbed her ass. He pulled her closer and kissed her as hard as he could through the bars.
Piper tried to push him away, but he was too strong.
Andy and Darryl helped her. Andy pulled Piper away while Darryl pushed the guy to the ground.
"Andy, let me out of here," Leo said.
"I can't, Leo. But I can let Piper in with you," Andy said. He unlocked Leo's cell door and let Piper in to be in the arms of her husband.
Piper was crying because of what had just happened.
"Darryl, keep an eye on them. I'll be right back," Andy said. He left for a few minutes, and when he returned he had a piece of paper in his hand.
"What's that, Andy?" Piper asked.
"Well, Piper," he said. "It's information on our new friend. Or should I say old friend that was never a friend."
"Who is he?" she asked.
"Piper, it's Dan," Andy said slowly.
"Dan? Dan Gordon?"
Andy nodded. "He was in military school until last year."
"And when I found out you were getting married," Dan said, "I had to come back and see you."
"But, you hated me," she said.
"Yeah, I did. But I didn't hate the time I f---ed you. And you have to admit I was the best sex you ever had."
"Shut-up, Gordon," Darryl said.
Piper was starting to cry again. "How could I say that when you raped me?"
"You're not the only one," Dan whispered under his breath.
"What was that?" Andy asked.
"Nothing," Dan said.
"Look, I have your record right here. Anything you say I already know about," Andy snapped.
"Andy, is it too late to charge Dan with rape from. . ." Piper started to aske but was interrupted by Andy.
"Piper, it's never too late. Do you want me to take you to an officer from this station?"
"Sure."
Later that night, Piper, Leo, Andy, and Darryl left the police station. Dan had to stay for a couple of days because of the amount of rape charges he had against him.
"Andy," Piper said. "Thanks."
"For what?" Andy asked.
"For helping us."
"That's ok. You guys are family."
"Did Paige ever tell you who abused her?" Piper asked.
"She didn't know who he was."
"Oh, ok."
"Come on, let's get to your party."
A/N: Uh-oh. Dan's back. But at least Piper and Leo are finally married! Hopefully you all like what I did in that chapter. Who do you think is Paige's abuser? Please review and keep an eye out for chapter 8.
