Ch.29
It was 4:30 in the afternoon on a Saturday. Leo, Piper, their girls, Adam, Phoebe, their daughter, Prue, Andy, their son, and Grams were all at the park. Grams, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe were watching as the guys played with the kids. After 5 minutes, Piper laid back on the blanket and rested her hand on her bulging 8-½ month pregnant stomach. This pregnancy was a surprise to everyone. But, because of school and the kids, she wasn't able to attend any of the doctor's appointments. So, Leo and her didn't know if their baby was alright or not, or what they were having, or even how many babies they were having. Her and Leo were in their last year of college and would be graduating in two months. Finally, school would be over for her and she would have majored in both business and culinary. After the wedding, which was going to be after the baby and graduation, she planned on working in a restaurant for a little while, before opening a nightclub Leo had planned to go to medical school after college to become a doctor, moreover, a pediatrician. That meant he would have about 6 more years of schooling. Now, Piper was lying there, feeling her baby kick, watching her fiancée play with their three daughters, his brother play with her niece, and her brother-in-law play with her nephew in the park. Grams, Prue, and Phoebe were sitting next to her, munching on snacks, as they talked.
"So, Piper, since you don't know what you're having, did you think about any names?" Phoebe asked.
"Actually, Leo and I were just thinking about that yesterday and we decided on names," she replied, "we had decided on Charlotte Astrid for a girl and Matthew David for a boy."
"Well, I hope it's a boy because it would be nice for Jacob to have a boy cousin instead of all girl cousins," Prue said. They sat there for another 15 minutes before she felt it. As they laughed at something Phoebe had said, her smile slowly wiped off her face. No one had noticed it. Her thinking they were just false, ignored them. But, after half an hour, she knew something wasn't right. That's when she really felt them. All four were still sitting there, talking, when they heard her gasp.
"Piper, are you ok?" Prue asked. She just looked at her sisters and Grams, before Phoebe ran to get Leo. It seemed like only two seconds and Leo was by her side.
"It's time," she whispered.
"What? Are you sure?" he asked. She nodded her head, as she clutched his hand, tightly. He just sat there, waiting for it to pass. After a couple seconds, he felt his hand again, and helped her stand up.
"Um, Grams, can you please watch the girls for us?" he asked.
"Yeah, just get her to the hospital," Grams said, as she watched Leo slowly and carefully help her granddaughter to the car.
