Lessons in Love: College … Chapter 12 (Hide)
Piper's PoV
"Piper I mean it, I am not going to let you do this to yourself!" Jamie said to her cowering over her bed the next morning- he had stayed the night on the couch, she hadn't wanted to be alone with Wyatt that night just in case one of them came back. They didn't. love? Yeah right.
"what sleep?" she said hazily.
"no become celibate it's not good for you"
"am I right in thinking that there is no school today?" she rolling over to see his face.
"yes, it's Sunday, you know school is tomorrow, Monday"
"good" she rolling back over
"oh Piper"
"what?" she said turning to face him.
"I'm worried about you and so is Wyatt" he said sitting next to her.
"Oh damn Wyatt needs feeding" she said getting up and heading down the hall in her pyjamas.
Piper had been so sad when she had come home she had cried herself to sleep. Leo had said he loved her. Over and over again. Not wanting her to forget it somehow. She had remembered all the times he had said it to her in high school. After he had left she had convinced herself it was all lies. that had made her stronger as well as sad. She had come to the conclusion he had never loved her and would only use her for sex. But she had also decided that under any circumstances she would never tell her child that, their child. Of course she had tried to forget him, but nothing had ever worked- when she was close to her due date she had starting to think more to the baby then it's father, but then again that had all changed when the letter had arrived, and it had ended as quickly as it started. She honestly didn't know what to think. She didn't know whether he was telling the truth or lying she thought as she made her way to Wyatt's bedroom, were he was cooing at the sight of her.
"Upities" he said extending his arms towards her "upities" he repeated.
He was adorable, she couldn't deny that- he really did look a lot like his father. that's why she had to keep Leo away from him. If he didn't guess at first just by looking at him he would eventually. If he had questioned it by making math of it she could have always said she fell into the arms of another man when she had found out he had left. But why on earth would she name the child Wyatt? Now if he knew that he wouldn't give up easily. Hell no. if he was gate crashing her dates for her what would he do for his son? She stopped thinking rationally for those for seconds and thought of what he might just do for his son. Would he take him to the park? Push him on the swings? Teach him to play baseball? Love him? She startled herself. What was she thinking she couldn't do that she would never be rid of him if she told him about Wyatt. And then she would never be over him. And that was something she was positive of. He was gentle but if he knew this he would more dangerous to her then anything else. And that was one thing she couldn't let happen. She couldn't let him ruin Wyatt's life as well as her's. What if she did tell him about Wyatt and he ran off again? Wyatt would be heartbroken after knowing like a father, he would. And Wyatt was one person she wasn't going to let get pushed around, she had been pushed around her whole life and there was no way she was going to let anyone push around her baby! Her son. No fucking way! She began to wonder if anyone at her old school knew about Wyatt. Wouldn't Leo have found out if so? Oh she didn't know- she wondered what Missy would say if she knew she had had a child by Leo. Come to think of she wasn't sure if she cared. It would have been funny, but seeing the face of her boy in the morning was better. She couldn't deny it, Wyatt looked so much like Leo. He had the same green eyes, there were blue when he was born but they had truly developed into a lovely green. He had the same blonde hair, maybe even a little blonder, lighter sort of- but all the same he was like Leo's mini-me. There was definitely no chance Leo wouldn't recognise him if he met him, and considering his name she didn't think he was that dumb after all she tutored him didn't she? Then she noticed Jamie looking her straight in the eye, she had been staring into space. She hadn't realised.
"look, you guys can stay at mine tonight, I'm not going to be there until late but it's closer to the school you can walk in the morning, take the stroller with you and I'll pick him up in the afternoon and you can have some 'mommy time' what'd ya say?"
"I don't know"
"Okay then" he said taking Wyatt out of the high chair and put him up to his face "what'd you say? Wanna stay with uncle Jamie"
"yep"
"You bonded with him quickly"
"what can I say kids love me" he said smiling. "come on you need some time I'll look after tomorrow all day for you! You can't say that doesn't sound appealing?"
"I've got to admit no matter how much I love it would be a nice break"
"See!" he said getting up hysterically "I'm a damn genius!"
"But I'm not sure"
"Oh hush your mouth!"
"But-"
"No I'm not hearing of it, me and Wyatt voted and you lost. I'm looking after him tomorrow and that is that!"
She couldn't help but smile at them, they were both as bad as each other, with their face all mischievous and everything. He was just like his father at least before he had started to change. She had come to the conclusion when he had been starting to change that's when he had decided to leave her. But she could think about that now she had her son to look after and make sure he grew well and unharmed by those sorts of emotions, she knew she might not be able to do it but she sure as hell was gonna try.
"ok" she gave in. she could do with some time on her own anyway.
"whoa!! Come on little man lets go!" he paused "Piper you had better get some stuff together for you two, want me to help?"
"No thanks I'll get it all." she said as she made her way up the stairs and into her room, grabbing a duffel bag as she roamed thought her closet. Stuffing some jeans and tanks tops in the bag, only going past her dressers to get a large t-shirt to sleep in, bra and panties. Then she headed to Wyatt's room pulling out some pyjamas, stripped t-shirt and dungarees as well as some little boxers Phoebe had bought him and some spare diapers to sleep in and just in case of little accidents, not forgetting his favourite blanket and teddy, … the one Leo had bought her for Christmas. Course it was getting ratty now but he loved it and just because his father had hurt didn't mean she was going to deny him everything about him, if he does ever ask who his father is then she would tell him, she told herself. She would. For him, her special boy. Putting all into the duffel she hurried in skip down the stairs to see them waiting for her, Jamie had put on Wyatt's shoes, mittens and coat. They looked quite a pair, all huddling together like that. So cute- there was her little boy, all hers.
"Come on mommy" said Wyatt with a cute little chuckle.
"what he said" Jamie stated pointing to Wyatt.
"mommy's coming sweetie, and you don't encourage him" she said as Jamie laughed.
Coming down the stairs she went into the closest and got her coat, she didn't want Leo to find them if Leo knew about Wyatt, his son. She would never be able to get over- she could help but think of it all over again. Then just thought they might get together and have a proper family- no she could put herself through that, not again. She wouldn't be able to survive.
"Come on lets go" she said heading to the door .
"Yey!" he said as she turned off the main light
"Come on then Piper" Jamie said making his way to the door, pausing on the step outside "hey Piper you've got a letter"
Curious she went out shut the door and locked it, picking up the letter as she did so. She recognised the writing Leo's. she had always loved the way his hand curved her name. "Err, why don't you go to the car, I'll be there in a minute"
"okay"
As soon as he said that she began to tear at the envelope. And she read.
Dear Piper,
I know you don't want anything to do with me, but I don't care. I love you, yes that is right I love you Piper Halliwell, I will always love you, I never did stop loving you.
I know it may seem cheesy to come out with that straight away but I'm not going to take no for an answer. You mean to much to me to just forget about.
I don't care what Dan will do he is not important. You're the only thing that matters to me, I'll fight for you if I have to. I was stupid to leave before but now, I'm not going to let you go. You may be able to run from my love but you can't hide.
All my love
Leo
Xxx
"oh no"
