A/N: Here is a short little chapter that I think everyone who is reading needed, it's some Piper/Leo fluff and the next chapter will go back to Dan and the other drama.
Chapter 9: Back to Normal
It had been three weeks since Wyatt and Chris were returned, and things were finally back to normal at the manor. It was 6:30 and everyone was coming in for dinner. Piper was frantically trying to keep an eye on the chicken and Chris at the same time when Paige walked in looking very pleased with herself.
"Hello Piper, so what are your plans for this evening?"
"Um, well I have to finish dinner for you, then take care of my kids then clean the kitchen and hopefully get a few hours of sleep before I have to make breakfast!" Piper replied feeling fed up.
"You're wrong, so calm down and go get dressed."
"Excuse me?" Piper asked confused.
"Me and Phoebe are going to take care of everything you just said, while you and Leo have a long over-due romantic dinner at that new French restaurant you've been wanting to try."
"Really? Wow thanks! The chicken will be ready in 20 minutes, Chris needs to be changed, and Wyatt needs to take his cold medicine. I'll go get Leo, umm good luck!" With that she ran upstairs before Paige could change her mind.

As she took her seat across from Leo at the table, she couldn't help but smile. It had been a while since they had done something just the two of them and they really needed this. Leo was feeling the same way, but still, he wanted to talk about what Darryl's partner had said in court that day.
"Wow, it's really nice here" he said taking in his surroundings. "You look beautiful."
"Thanks," Piper smiled, "I miss just having the two of us, alone, no kids"
"Or sisters?" Leo smiled.
"Yeah, them too. And I've been meaning to um, to say thanks, I know everything has been just as hard on you, but you really helped me through it and you were right, we did overcome it together." Piper said, holding his hand.
"Like we always do." That was all Leo needed to say, Piper practically jumped across the table and kissed him. A few minutes later, Leo just pulled away and looked Piper right in the eyes.
"I love you," he said.
"I know," she answered. The rest of the night was spent just talking about anything and everything, but mainly they laughed and kissed and pushed all thoughts of Dan or any other suspects out of their minds.

The Manor: Same time
"Wyatt! You orb your brother back here right now!" Phoebe yelled, Chris was nowhere to be seen. Then in a swirl of blue light Chris was in his playpen.
"Thank you; now go clean up your toys in the living room." Just then, Paige walked in.
"How do you think Piper does it? I mean, it's hard to have one normal toddler, and she has two magical ones." Paige asked. Phoebe thought for a second before answering.
"Yeah, but she is luckier than a lot of parents, she has Leo. He really loves them and her." Paige nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, well I have to go get ready, I'll be right back." Paige went upstairs into the bathroom. She bent down to get some gel out of the cabinet and saw something on the edge of it. She touched it and it felt kind of greasy, like hair mousse. It was almost as if someone with way too much gel or mousse in their hair rubbed against the top. That's strange, she thought, I don't think Leo puts anything in his hair. Maybe…
"Paige! I need you get down here!" Her thoughts were interrupted by Phoebe yelling to her from downstairs. She got up and forgot all about bathroom sink.

The Manor: 3 hours later
Phoebe looked up from her book when she heard keys being put into the door. Laughter followed, and then Piper and Leo walked in, both looking really happy.
"Hey guys, do I even have to ask how dinner was?"
"It was amazing," Piper answered.
"And the food was pretty good too," Leo said with a smirk.
"Well we're gonna go upstairs now, are the boys asleep?" Piper asked.
"Yep, have fun," Phoebe said raising her eyebrows. From the steps, Leo turned around,
"We will." Phoebe was happy; they really deserved this, a break from the hectic chaos which had gotten even worse recently. Well, she thought at least it's all over now. I hope.
