Chapter 12: The News
Everything was still normal the next week. Well, as normal as it could get in the Halliwell manor. They hadn't heard from Dan since the dinner, except for him waving a good morning to Phoebe when she left for work. Everything with Piper and Leo had been great too. It was almost too good to be true, almost. A very well known band was scheduled to play on Friday night at P3. Today was Wednesday and Piper and Leo were planning on going to the club the next day to get everything ready. They went to bed early, holding each other closely, and went to sleep.

Piper woke up the next morning and immediately didn't feel good. She carefully slipped out from under Leo's arm and hurried to the bathroom. Almost as soon as she got in there she emptied the contents of her stomach into the toilet.
"Oh God," she thought. "Not today, I have to work." She waited for five minutes before brushing her teeth and going back to her bedroom. She decided that unless it got worse, she would just not worry about it until she got at least a little bit of work done.
The rest of the day went by without disturbance, except after lunch, Piper had thrown up again. She had told Leo, and he tried to get her to go home, but she insisted on staying at P3. SO for the remainder of the day, Piper was strictly confined to desk work and inventory. The strange thing was, nothing else bothered her. Her head and throat were fine, she just felt a little more tired than usual, but that could've been from lack of sleep. After a long day of preparations, Piper could finally go home.

For the next two weeks, the same thing would happen. Piper would be tired, and throw up a few times a day. Then she was going to the bathroom one day when she realized something.
"Oh my God, it can't be," she thought, as she hurried out the door.
"Paige! Watch the boys I have to, I have to uh, go pick up some stuff from the store." With that, she grabbed her bag and left. Once she got outside, she saw Dan, washing his car.
"Oh, hey Piper," he smiled, running a hand through his hair, "what's up?"
"Nothing, I was just going to the store, um do you need anything?"
"No thanks, I was just wondering if you wanted to get together for dinner again."
"That would be nice, but let me call you later, because I need to talk to Leo and my sisters, and I really have to get going."
"Yeah, of course, I'll talk to you later then."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Piper considered his offer during the car ride. Last time had been kind of uncomfortable for some of it, but everyone seemed to have a good time. Besides, she really wanted to be able to have a friendship with Dan, she still felt bad for breaking his heart. As she continued her drive, she thought about what Leo might think of more time with Dan.

"Is that all?" the cashier asked.
"Yes, thank you," Piper responded quickly. She took her bag and walked out the door.
Once she got home, she was relieved to find the usually busy house quiet. Leo must've taken the boys she thought. She went upstairs and into the bathroom.

"Hey, Leo," Piper said once her husband got home.
"Oh hi, what've you been up to? Feeling better?"
"Yea, I'm fine, I just went to the store really quick. But uh, I saw Dan outside, and he wants to get together again."
"Oh, what did you say?"
"I told him I had to talk to you, and that's what I'm doing."
"I don't know Piper, I think he wants you back," Leo said with a worried tone.
"Yeah, well maybe but don't worry, he can't. I love you Leo, you know that."
"Yeah, I know," he smiled.
"Especially, not now," Piper said, somewhat hesitantly.
"What do you mean?"
"Leo, I'm pregnant, again," she added. Piper had to admit, she was nervous, she knew Leo wanted more kids someday, key word being someday. Wyatt and Chris were still really young, and another baby in nine months would be even more chaotic. While she thought about this, Leo was silent. Then he smiled.
"Really? You're sure?"
"Well, I took two tests today, and well, yeah."
"This is great!" he said suddenly excited.
"You're really happy?"
"Of course I am! Aren't you? I thought this was what we wanted."
"I'm actually really happy, I just didn't know what you would think, but now, everything is gonna be great! I can't wait to tell Phoebe and Paige!"
"And Dan," Leo said smugly. They both couldn't help but wonder what his reaction would be…
A/N: I know, really short after the wait, but I needed to get that in! The next chapter will be everyone else's reactions, and more of Piper and Leo's feelings.
REVIEW! It makes my day! XO
