As usual Piper found that she was the first to make the journey into the kitchen at the Halliwell manor. She liked the silence these mornings would bring; they were free of ringing cell phones, the bickering of her sisters and usually even the sounds of another demon attack. She used these times to think. Things had been tense at the Halliwell manor over the past few weeks, Prue and Phoebe seemed to be fighting more than usual with the last one ending with Phoebe running from the house in tears and Prue getting so angry that she had lost control of her power and accidentally thrown a vase on a nearby table into the wall.
Deep in her thoughts, Piper jumped when a voice behind her said
"Morning"
Piper whirled around and sighed when she was greeted by the face of her older sister.
"Oh my gosh, Prue you scared me," Piper said relaxing.
Prue smiled and gave her sister a kiss on the cheek as she grabbed a cup of coffee from the bench that Piper had prepared.
"What are we going to do today?" Prue asked Piper settling down on one of the bar stools situated around their kitchen bench.
"I don't know, but I was hoping that we could make today a sister day," Piper said sneaking a glance at her older sisters face as she sipped her coffee.
"Do you really think that that is such a good idea. I mean Phoebe and I can't even be in a room together for longer than five minutes before we get into an argument and I'm pretty sure that listening to us fighting all day isn't how you imagined spending your weekend," Prue said looking at Piper with her icy blue eyes.
"Maybe not, but I do need something to take my mind off things," Piper said moving round to sit next to Prue.
"What do you mean?" Prue asked her.
"Its just Leo has been called away again for god knows what, and he didn't even know how long he would be gone for this time. And every time he goes I can't help thinking that it might be the last time I see him," Piper replied, her voice breaking as she said those last words.
Prue pulled her sister into a hug and rubbed her back in the way that she knew always calmed down her younger sisters. Piper rested her head against the shoulder of her older sister and they sat like that for awhile until they were interrupted by a loud bump coming from upstairs.
