Ch.15
Piper looked relieved, as she saw Leo standing there.
"Why aren't they hiding yet?" he asked.
"We can't reach the door," Prue replied, as she looked up.
"Oh," Leo said. He ran over to the closet and reached up and opened the door. "Taylor, Alex, come here," he quickly said. As Leo was about to shut the door, Alex stopped him.
"Daddy, I'm scared," she cried.
"Ok, um, Phoebe, they didn't see you," Leo said.
"Ok, ok. But, please, Leo, make sure that Adam is ok," she said.
"We will," Prue said, as she stood off to the side. She couldn't really help because she was 5 months pregnant with Andy and her first child.
"Thank you," Piper and Leo said.
"No problem," Phoebe said as she climbed up into the attic with the girls. As Leo was about to close the attic door, the door to his and Piper's room flew open again. This time, Andy and Adam came running in, his parents and the two cops following.
"Adam, you're coming with us. Where are the girls?" Mrs. Wyatt asked as she started looking around, not noticing the open attic door.
"Whoa, what are you doing? I don't see a search warrant," Andy said.
"Who are you?" she asked, rudely. He took out his badge and showed her.
"I'm a cop for the San Francisco Police Department. Now if you don't have a search warrant, you are not allowed to be searching this apartment. Can I please see that paper?" he asked, holding out his hand. She reluctantly handed the paper to him. He read it and said, "It's all right here Piper, Leo. You have to give the kids to them." Piper just looked at her, as Leo put his arms around Piper's waist.
The girls looked down from the attic, unaware of what was happening and asked, "is it ok for us to come down now Daddy?" Both Piper and Leo just sighed, realizing that the girls had been found. Mrs. Wyatt smiled, as the two cops walked over and helped the two girls down from the attic. They were about to walk out with them, when Leo stopped them.
"Wait, can we at least say good-bye?" he asked. His mother just looked at him for a second before nodding her head. The girls ran over to their parents. Piper and Leo hugged them and didn't want to let go.
"Don't worry girls, we will get you two back soon. I promise you two, we will get you two back," Leo said. He kissed them on their heads.
"I love you two," Piper said, tears already coming to her eyes.
"I love you Mommy and Daddy," Taylor said.
"Love you Mommy and Daddy," Alex said.
"I love you two too," Leo said. Finally, after the cops pulled them away, Leo and Piper pulled away. As one cop held the girls hands, another one had to pull Adam away from Phoebe. She too had tears falling from her eyes.
"I'll be back soon. I promise. I love you," he said.
"I love you too," she said back.
"Give this to Phoebe for me," Adam said, as he handed a letter to Andy before they left. Prue stood off to the side, comforting her crying little sister. Piper stood there, crying, before Leo pulled her into a hug and they cried together.
