Ch.6
12 long and painful hours had passed for Piper already. Leo was by her side and had refused to leave. At 7:00 he had called their families and now they were all waiting in the waiting room, patiently waiting. Piper didn't want anyone in the room but Leo. Grams wanted desperately to come in and be there for her, even though she was mad. But, Piper had said no. The family had walked around for hours, waiting to hear the cry from the room down the hall from them. It was 3:35 in the afternoon when they had finally heard it. The cry that they were waiting for. They stood there, smiling and waiting for Leo to come out of the room. After a couple minutes, when they didn't see him come out, they sat down and patiently waited.
"Congratulations, it's a girl," Dr. Anders said, smiling. Piper and Leo smiled, with tears rolling down their cheeks. Piper watched as he cut the cord and the doctor cleaned her up. She then wrapped her up in a pink blanket and handed the dark brown hair newborn baby girl to Piper. Leo looked down at Piper and kissed her on the head before looking at their daughter. She looked up at her parents with her big brown eyes and yawned. Dr. Anders walked out of the room as the two smiled at the baby.
20 minutes later, Leo walked out of the room, holding his daughter. He walked over to their families, smiling.
"Mom, Dad, Mrs. Halliwell," he said. All 6 ran over.
"It's a girl," he said, his smile growing. Everyone saw the dried tear streaks on his cheeks.
"What's her name?" 14-year old Adam asked.
"We didn't name her yet. She is 7 lbs 2 ounces and 19 ½ inches long," he answered.
"Can we see Piper?" 13-year old Phoebe asked.
"Piper is resting right now. But, maybe later," Leo answered.
"Can, can I hold her?" Grams asked. Leo hesitated, but let her hold the baby only for about 2 minutes and the same with his parents, brother, Prue, and Phoebe.
"Well, I have to bring her to the nursery now," Leo said, taking his daughter from his father. He let them all look at the baby one more time, before walking away.
