Lessons in Love: College … Chapter 15 (Gate Crasher)


Piper and Leo's PoV

Piper couldn't believe it, the turn out had been great. Wyatt's birthday part was officially a success. She had done all of the catering, Jamie had basically done everything else. And Wyatt was having a blast all his friends where invited from the college nursery and some children he had met in the hospital nursery too. She had never seen Wyatt have so much fun, after all when he was with his friends she was in class. But she was glad it had such a outcome, she loved her son. If she had to, she would give everything for him. He would never abandon her, not like his father did- but she shouldn't think about that no, this was her son's day, Wyatt. It was his time to shine. He had grown up so much since she had started school again, his little bond locks had grown quite long, Jamie had even taken him for a hair cut. She had to admit though in his eyes she saw the world, she didn't have to be anywhere but with him, that's how she had been with Leo, she had got lost in his eyes all the time, she had last Friday. But ever since Wyatt was born, her son, their son she had stayed in them. She loved Leo, she realised that when they had made love again, that's when she had realised she couldn't tell herself otherwise. Because she did, she did love him. She had loved him from that first night she had been told tutoring him would help her get into an IV league college, she had got into an IV league college too, Harvard. But looking at the glow in her son's eyes everyday made up for that. Sure when he had first been born it was tough, crying at all hours of the night made her cry too, but every time she looked into those aquamarine eyes she saw Leo, even though he had left her she couldn't feel angry at him when she looked into her sons eyes, her perfect child. The one person that would always love her and the one person she knew she would forever love. She would forever love Leo, she had thought that when Wyatt had been born she had tried to make herself feel better saying to Wyatt he was missing out on the best thing ever, he was he missed the birth of his first child- no doubt he would have more with someone he did love, it wasn't her she knew that. But she did love him, she would love Wyatt and Leo the rest of her life. When she had awoken from spending the night with Leo to find him gone, she had felt empty but that was all she could do, she could go to him demanding he stay with her because of their son, that would be fair. Leo had often told her before he left of his dreams to travel the world. She couldn't let him give up his dreams for her she loved him too much.

She knew he would never love her the way she loved him but maybe one day when Wyatt went looking for his father, and maybe when they found each other… Leo would love Wyatt, Wyatt was part of him, and family was important to Leo, family was important to her. But when Wyatt asked she would tell him, she would tell him how they started seeing each other- maybe not that she lost her virginity to him on the living room floor but that at least for a little while they were happy. She would try to tell Wyatt something that wouldn't sound like his father was a creep for leaving her pregnant and alone, she wanted him to think good things about his father, after all it was the only one he had, and maybe he would love him just as much as she did. But then again he may not want to meet his father, no of course he would everybody wanted to know where they came from. It was a part of life, she just hoped Wyatt would understand, she didn't want him to hate her because his father wasn't around, she would do her best for him. Friday night just proved how much she loved Leo and Saturday morning just proved how just much he hadn't changed. She had always loved Leo she was a fool to think that she wasn't still in love with him, she wouldn't have just literally jumped into bed with him, even the first time she must have been in deep, all from that day she saw him on her doorstep all arrogant and thinking he was the best thing since sliced bread waiting to come in and start his tutoring, the day when the door opened with a gush of wind that seems now to be like a sign telling her she should start paying attention because something just might happen, looking back now it must have been fate. Fate that she would fall in love with Leo, fate that Leo would leave her and fate that Leo would father her child. Wyatt, the light in between the shadows, her eternal light after all you've got to take the good with the bad.

Leo may have hurt her then but without her trusting him then she wouldn't have Wyatt with her now. She would have to forget about Leo until that fateful day when her son would ask where his father was and why wasn't it with them, when all his friend's daddies lived with their mummies. She would save all she could, all the titbits of Leo's she had for him and she'd even try to keep recent contacts for him, make sure Wyatt had all the help he would accept off her. When the time came she would do her best.

"Piper can you come in here for a minute" she heard Jamie call from in the kitchen.

"Coming" she yelled from the living room, putting Wyatt on the floor with his friends.

Walking into the kitchen she stopped at the island in the middle to where Jamie was with one of the parents of the kids. She was called Linda, he son was in the other room with Wyatt, David was the friend Wyatt connected to most- it seemed they were already best friends. They were up to the island getting out candles as well as the friendly green dragon cake out of the fridge.

Linda lifted her head "Hi Piper" Linda was taller then Piper by a few inches, with middle length strawberry blonde hair and grey eyes.

"Hi Lindie, god thanks for all this"

"No problem we're both teen mom's we need to help each other out"

"either way I'm greatful"

Piper had met Linda on her second day at college, they had met picking up their boys. They had gotten on great, time had seemed to go so fast from that day. She had made new friends, Wyatt had gone to nursery and then there was Leo. But no- this day was about Wyatt not Leo, this was Wyatt's time to shine, the guy that would love her all her life and not hurt, the one guy she could always trust. Putting the two candles in the cake.

"Hey will you guys get all the kids together."

Jamie came back a few minutes later "their all in the hall" Piper looked him in the face "why the hall?" Jamie just smiled then he said "Some told me, they knew wheat was coming and they wanted to be closer to the action." she smiled, she hoped Wyatt would have more of these moments. Walking into the hall with the lit candles she went in to where Linda had managed to round up the kids, Jamie following her, she went to Wyatt who wrapped his arms around her legs.

Linda got up "Right kids after three, everyone sing happy birthday to Wyatt. 1 … 2 … 3"

And they all sang " Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Wyatt, happy birthday to you"

Looking down at her feet where Wyatt had wrapped his arms around her lower legs, she saw the big smile on his face, Jamie was kneeling next to him with the cake.

"Jamie" Wyatt said, looking at the cake, then to Piper.

"Mommy"

"Blow out the candles Wyatt" there was gasp, who would be shocked by that Piper thought with a frown, then she looked up. The door was open and standing in the doorway … was Leo.
