Chapter 6
"Piper, what do you think Andy's doing at the house?" Paige asked as she and Piper continued walking towards the lake. "Paige, you'll find out eventually, don't worry about it!" Piper said as they entered the woods. They both walked in silence until they came upon their regular hiding place. "Where's Phoebe?" Piper asked looking around.
"Piper... I found her!" Paige said looking towards the lake where Phoebe was sitting and being painfully obvious about flirting with some of the boys. "Phoebe!" Piper said walking out of the woods. "Hey Piper, we should come more often!" Phoebe said happily. Piper rolled her eyes at Paige tried to keep from laughing.
"Piper!" Leo said happily after seeing her. "Hello Leo." Piper said smiling sweetly. Piper saw Julian and her smile quickly faded. "Hello Piper, how is Prue, is she set for the wedding?" he asked. "She is... nervous..." Piper said truthfully, after all she was nervous. It's just that in a few moments there might not be a wedding, between them anyway...
"Understandable, is she home now, could I go visit her?" he asked. Piper looked unsure of what to say but slowly nodded her head. Julian smiled and bid them farewell before walking off. Paige pulled Piper to her level. "Piper, what is Andrew Trudeau really doing at our house?" Paige asked realizing something was wrong.
"Andy's at your house?" Leo asked having overheard her. "Andy? Andy the boy who Prue is madly in love with?" Phoebe asked. "Nice going Phoebe." Piper said through gritted teeth. "Your sisters in love with Andy, so why is she not marrying him, after all he is pretty much in love with her..." Leo said confused.
"Andrew is what?!" Phoebe asked grinning. "They did not know that and I did not until earlier, he is at our house right now to try to get Prue to call off her engagement and marry him." Piper said sitting down on a rock. "Really?" Paige asked looking excited. "Andy? Andrew Trudeau is doing that? When did he learn to be so..." Leo said trying to find the correct word but not coming up with one.
"Since we talked today at the market and I... helped him I guess, I do not know, I just know I have ruined Julian and Prue's marriage most likely, I cannot imagine her turning him down." Piper said frowning. "Should you not be happy, Prue loves Andy..." Phoebe asked. "I am happy, for Prue, just my mind keeps wandering back to poor Julian..." Piper said sadly.
Leo sat beside her on the rock and put his arm around her. "If Prue and Andy are meant to be that means there's someone else out there for Julian, so don't feel bad, you did not do anything but help them get to their true loves faster." He said. "Julian has got plenty of girls after him, he will find someone else." Phoebe said shrugging as she walked away from Piper and back to the boys she had been flirting with.
"Paige!" someone shouted. "That's Glen, I gotta go." Paige said happily. Piper laughed, "A year ago she wouldn't go near a boy and now Glen Belland is all she thinks about," she said. "Leo!" a voice called out as Lillian came out of the woods. Leo took his arm from around Piper and stood up. "Lillian, what are you doing here?" he asked walking over to her. "When your mother told me she needed you I offered to go get you so I could see the place you spend all your time at." Lillian said with a smile, which disappeared when she saw Piper.
"Leo, what's SHE doing here?" Lillian asked. "She's here with her sisters, they come here also." Leo said. Lillian walked over to Piper, "I don't think we've had the actual pleasure of meeting, I'm Lillian Wyatt." Lillian said smiling. "Not yet." Leo muttered under his breath. "Piper Halliwell." Piper said with a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes.
"Leo, good! That guy, the cute one over there, do you know him?" Phoebe asked sounding excited as she ran up to him. "Cole?" Leo asked looking over to whom she was pointing at. "Whatever, introduce me, please!" Phoebe said grabbing his hand and dragging him away. "My little sister, Phoebe." Piper said before Lillian could ask.
"Ohh... Listen Piper, it's not that I don't like you, you seem nice, it's just that I think Leo likes you too and I don't like that, so be a dear and stay away from him." Lillian said before smiling and walking off towards Leo. Piper looked at Lillian opened mouthed, "Okay, Leo can so not marry that..." Piper said trailing off as Paige walked up to her. "I agree, he deserves better which is why I'm dragging you to meet his mother." Paige said with a grin on her face. "What? No... Oh no, Paige, no!" Piper said as Paige grabbed her arms and pulled her out of the woods.
"Ah, Andy, what a pleasant surprise." Prue said after getting over being shocked as she opened the door to find Andy standing there. "Yes Prue... I actually have something I need to talk to you about but I'm not quite sure how to put it..." Andy said sounding nervous. "It's not anything bad, ya know the last time we got someone at our door like this..." Prue said looking worried as she remembered when Leo came her last.
"No..." he said laughing nervously. "I'm not sure whether it's bad, I'm just going to say it, Prue I want to take your hand in marriage." Andy said in a rush leaving Prue standing there gaping. "Oh... Uh..." was all she could manage to come up with but luckily her mother came to the door as her rescuer. "Andrew Trudeau? How lovely to see you, what do we owe this visit to?" she asked politely.
"He... He asked me to... marry him." Prue said in a daze. Patty stood there shocked also. "Andy, you do realize Prue's marrying Julian Harper?" she asked. "I realize that, I just, I've liked your daughter for a long time now and... I was planning on asking her someday he just asked before I could, I would have tried to get her before him but there was no word of him asking her..." Andy rambled on.
"Prue?" Patty asked. "Yes?" Prue asked still in her daze. "Who would you rather marry Prue, think about this because once you've married one of them you cannot go back..." Patty said softly. Prue didn't seem to want to answer, she knew she would much rather marry Andy, but what about Julian? "It would be rude not to marry Julian after I accepted..." she said with a tear in her eye. "Prue, don't worry about that, follow your heart, Julian wants you to be happy and you know it!" Patty said sternly. "Then... I chose Andy." Prue said quietly so that they could barley here.
"You do?" two voices asked and Prue looked up realizing one voice belonged to Andy but another belonged to... Julian. "I am sorry." She said quickly. "Don't apologize Prue, I was thinking about calling off the engagement anyway, I noticed how you didn't exactly seem to have eyes for me and it's okay." Julian said looking sort of sad.
"Go ahead with the wedding but now instead of me, Andy will be the one you marry. And I do hope to get an invite." "Of course, anything!" she said hugging him before turning back to Andy and hugging him to. "We must tell everyone! Where are Piper, Phoebe, Paige, and Grams?" Prue asked. "I just came from the lake, except for your grandmother, they're all there. Do you know of Leo Wyatt and Lillian Franks marriage?" he asked.
"Of course." Prue asked wondering why he was talking about that. "By the way things look between your sister and him I imagine another wedding will be called off and replaced." Julian said laughing. "I take it you mean Piper, oh God yes, the two are in love and they both actually know it but they're not doing anything about it!" Prue said rolling her eyes.
"I'm not Paige, I will not!" Piper said as she and Paige stood outside of Leo's house. "Fine Piper, let him marry Lillian and both your lives be a living hell because you were both to stupid to do anything!" Paige said sarcastically. Piper still wanted to run away but Mrs. Wyatt came out of the house before she could.
"Ahh... Um, can I help you?" she asked staring at them. "I'm Paige and this is Piper." Paige said smiling. "Piper Halliwell?" Mrs. Wyatt asked. "Yes, you know of me?" Piper asked. "Come along, get in the house!" she said rushing them inside and closing the door. "We cannot have gossip about this, I was actually going to your house to talk to you about Leo." She said motioning for them to sit.
She thinks I should stay away too! Piper thought starting to panic. "What about Leo?" Paige asked. "I am not blind, anyone from a mile away knows Leo loves you, he talks about you often you know?" Mrs. Wyatt said softly. Piper was still panicking thinking that she was going to say I'd appreciate you staying away from my son of something.
"And?" Paige asked thinking along the same lines as Piper. "And I think that that's wonderful, you girls are so much more kinder, nicer than some, take Lillian for example or that girl Missy Campbell. I'm very proud to have my son grow up to be caring enough to love someone like you." She said smiling. "Thank you..." Piper said quietly.
"Then why is Leo marrying Lillian?" Paige asked frowning. "You know Lillian's father is a friend of my husbands, they've been betrothed, and this matter is out of my hands... I don't want him to marry someone he doesn't love nor does he, he wants to marry you Piper." Mrs. Wyatt said taking Piper's hands.
"I take it that this is in Mr. Wyatt's territory?" Paige asked. "Yes, and I love Christopher, he's a wonderful man but he's been raised to the point were he thinks of peasants as animals." Mrs. Wyatt said. "So I take it there isn't really any way for me to be with Leo?" Piper asked. "No dear, Christopher doesn't like Lillian much more than I do so I want you to meet him, under the circumstances that you do not seem to be a peasant." Mrs. Wyatt said slyly. Piper and Paige glanced at each other. "What do you have in mind?" Paige asked just as slyly.
A/n: Hehehe... I love what she has in mind! If you stick with me I'll tell you next time! You know the drill: the more reviews, the faster I update! Thanks for all the other reviews! Oh and by the way, I kind of got side tracked with the whole: I have to work on the other characters to gig as you can tell... Opps? I didn't mean to it just happened, I'm kind of Piper/Leo crazy so I can't keep focus on anyone else for very long... Don't believe me? Look at my dresser, I have a picture of them kissing taped on there just like all of my other photos of friends and family (Yes I am in desperate need of a psychiatrist.) so sorry if I forget about the others sometimes!
"Piper, what do you think Andy's doing at the house?" Paige asked as she and Piper continued walking towards the lake. "Paige, you'll find out eventually, don't worry about it!"
