Ch.4

Three weeks had passed since Piper's birthday. Since then, Leo had noticed a change in her behavior. It was Friday and they were up in her room.

"Piper, what's wrong with you?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" she questioned.

"You've changed. You don't really talk, you don't want to do anything, you are mostly in the bathroom and you have the weirdest cravings," he said, before catching on to what he had said.

"Oh, my, god!" he said, standing up. Piper just looked down.

"How long have you known?" he asked.

"I just found out yesterday. I would have told you yesterday but I knew you were busy helping your brother," she said.

"How? When?" he asked.

"Two weeks ago and I really don't want to explain how," Piper answered, also standing up.

"Are you mad?" she asked, both scared and worried. He looked at her, smiled, and hugged her.

"Mad? I'm not mad. Oh god, I'm going to be a daddy!" he exclaimed, his smile growing. She smiled back at him, as they hugged and kissed.

Seven months later and Piper and Leo already told their families. Leo's parents and Grams were all extremely angry. They wanted Piper to have an abortion. Their excuse was that they were only 16 and a baby was going to ruin their life. But, they had disagreed by saying that they had made their baby because they love each other and their baby was going to be loved more than anyone could ever imagine. But, they were still extremely angry with them. Prue, Phoebe, and Adam, Leo's younger brother, were completely shocked, but were also getting use to the idea of having either a niece or nephew. Grams was angry and wouldn't let Leo into the house. But, Piper had changed her mind. Now, he was only allowed over Friday, after school, and Saturday and Sunday. About school for Piper, Grams had taken her out and had made her have home schooling until the baby was born. Leo had gotten a part-time job as a waiter in a restaurant called Quake, that had paid good money for him. Once in a while, he would sneak in to see Piper, or she would go out and meet him somewhere. They had gone to the doctor and found out that they were having a girl, but didn't tell anyone. Grams had allowed Leo to come over and build the nursery in Piper's closet. He had even put in an octagon window for light. Piper had moved all her clothes into the other closet that Grams had added onto her room. Leo had built the crib, dresser, and changing table. All three were made of white wood. The bedding for the crib had little animals on it. They included little ducks, ladybugs, frogs, turtles, and bees. Leo had also put a rocking chair with an ottoman that had a blue covering on it, by the window in Piper's room. She had put a blue blanket that had a frog on it on the chair. She also put a frog stuffed animal on the ottoman. In the dresser, they had put many different things in there. They had bought all the baby clothes and put them in there, along with bibs, hats, some bottles, hooded bath towels, and washcloths. On the shelf on the changing table, she had put 4 packages of diapers, 3 containers of wipes, and the diaper bag. Finally the nursery was done and now all Piper and Leo were waiting for was their baby girl.
