Ch.18
It was the next day. Piper and Leo sat at the kitchen table, with Taylor in the highchair.
"I can't believe you made me do that yesterday," Piper said, as they ate their sandwiches.
"Yeah, well, at least your family knows that you and Taylor are ok and they don't have to worry," he replied.
"What about your family?" she asked.
"Well, my mom was angry and it sounded as if my dad was crying as he talked to me. Adam didn't want to talk. He's mad that we left and didn't bring him," Leo explained. Piper just sat there and listened as she ate. About 3 hours later, Taylor was asleep and Piper and Leo were sitting on the couch. Piper was leaning into him and his arms were around her waist.
"Can you believe its been one over a year since we had Taylor," Piper said.
"Yeah, but she is going to grow up so quick and I don't really want that," Leo confessed to her.
"I know, but we can't stop this. Who knows, maybe we can have more and go through this again," she said to him. Leo looked at her.
"Are you serious?" he asked.
"Yeah, you know, I've always wanted more than one baby. I don't want her to be an only child," she answered. Leo smiled, stood up, and started to pull her up.
"Well, maybe we should go practice," he said. Piper smiled and let him pull her up. As they smiled and started to go upstairs, the doorbell rang. "Oh, come on," Leo said.
Piper smiled, playful hit his arm and said, "Oh, knock it off. Whoever it is, I'll get rid of them quick." He stood in the doorway and watched as she went to answer the door. As she opened the door, her smile faded. "Leo, can you please come here now!" she yelled for him.
