Ch.20

"So, Piper, when were you going to tell us you're engaged?" Prue asked, as they sat on the couch.

"I don't know. I was going to call. I didn't expect you three to show up like this," she answered, as Leo and her sat down. Leo could tell Grams got angry when he put his arm around her and she leaned into him. "How have you guys been?" Piper asked.

"We're doing good," Grams said.

"Hey Leo, guess what," Phoebe said.

"What?" he asked, looking at her?

"I'm going out with Adam," Phoebe said, smiling.

"Wait, Adam as in my younger brother Adam," he replied.

"Yes, but Grams and your parents don't like it because they think that Adam and I are going to end up like you and Piper," she replied.

"Wait, what do you mean like me and Leo?" Piper asked, sitting up.

"It's nothing. I didn't mean anything because by it," Grams said.

"Yeah right," Piper said, before they heard a cell phone ring.

"It's Adam," Phoebe said, picking up her cell.

"Phoebe, don't answer that," Grams said. Phoebe just looked at her, before answering her phone and walking out of the room.

"Prue, do you know how my parents are doing?" Leo asked.

"Oh, they're fine," she quickly answered.

"Yeah, um, did they tell you to say that?" he asked.

"What? No, they didn't," she said, her gaze shifting between him and the ground. He just looked at her. "Ok, ok. Your parents are fighting a lot. Last month, your father slept at our house twice, in his car three times, and I think he said on the couch 5 times," Prue said. Leo sighed and held his head in his hands for a minute.

"I'm going upstairs," he said to Piper.

"Are you ok?" she asked, worried.

"Yeah, I'll talk to you later alone," he said, before kissing her and going upstairs. Piper watched him leave, before looking back at her sister and grandmother, and sighing.
