Chapter 15 - Another Step

Immersed in paperwork, I was staring at the wall when a heard a faint tinkling sound. I turned around, I see Leo and Patty orb in.

"So does that mean I can call you Daddy now?" Patty was saying. I frowned slightly. Not because I didn't want her calling Leo Daddy, just because I was confused.

"Well, that's up to your mummy." Leo said. "But I don't think -"

Decidedly, I cleared my throat. Leo spun round, embarrassed.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing!" Leo said, a little too loudly and brightly. "Nothing. We were just talking."

"Just talking." Patty echoed, smiling brightly.

I've seen the look on her face before - when she's hiding something. A secret, a chocolate biscuit, my toothbrush ...

"Leo?" I asked.

"So, how's the club going?" He asked loudly.

"Nice try. What's going on?"

"Nothing. Don't worry about anything." He smiled at me. "Um, you want me to take Patty back to the manor?"

I nodded, defeated. I wasn't getting anything out of Leo.

I'd have to wait until I was alone with Patty, and quiz her.

I smiled as they orbed out, then turned back to the paperwork.

"Fun, fun, fun." I muttered.

A few hours later, I finally went home.

"Guys? Anyone home?" I asked, walking in.

"Kitchen!" Phoebe called.

Patty was in her playpen in the foyer, beaming at me.

"Look!" She said brightly, holding up a beanie dog. "Doggy."

"Wow." I said, leaning forward. "Where'd you get that from?"

"Daddy Leo." She replied. "And I saw clouds, mummy!"

"Really? Wow!" I said brightly, lifting her up. "So ... Do you guys have a secret?" I asked.

She nodded, smiling.

"What is it?" I asked.

See, in this respect, she's just like Phoebe. Can't keep anything to herself.

"He's gonna a mose." She replied.

"What?" I asked, confused.

Too late. She was playing with the dog now. I'd lost her attention.

Time to quiz my boyfriend.

"Leo?" I called.

"He's upstairs." Phoebe called from the kitchen.

I put Patty back in the playpen, and walked up the stairs quietly.

I could hear noises in the bathroom, so I walked towards it, and listened.

"I look at you and I think how lucky I am. I mean, I can't stop looking at you. You're my dream come true. You're my raison Dettra." Leo's voice floated through the wooden door.

"Every time I see you, I love you even more. You're so beautiful. You're so special. I can't imagine my life without you."

That's it. I'm going in.

"Piper!" He cried when I walked in.

I looked around. The place is empty.

"Um ... Leo, who you talking to?" I asked.

"Me? Nobody, you know ... Myself ..." He said, flustered.

"Yourself? You were telling yourself how much you love you?"

"No, of course not. Can we ... go downstairs ...?"

"Why are you acting so weird?"

"Can we please go downstairs?" He pleaded.

"Why are you not answering my question?" I asked.

"OK, fine, here's ... good. OK, well, I've been thinking at lot about us ..."

Oh my god, is he breaking up with me?

"Leo ..."

"Let me finish." He said quickly. "Piper Halliwell, I love you ..." He dropped down to the floor - On one knee.

"Will you marry me?"

I stared at him for several seconds.

He was proposing.

"Amose!" I said, suddenly clicking. Patty had meant Propose.

"What?" Leo's turn to be confused.

"Nothing. I mean -" I paused, considering the question.

What's to consider? you may ask.

But I rushed into a relationship with Dan, and ...

Leo's different. I scolded myself.

"Yes!" I cried.

Yay! Woohoo! I've been waiting to write this chapter for so long! Review!
