A week later, all was well in the world. Except for the fact that Leo is still engaged, Piper thought to herself. She and Leo stood in the far corner of the room at the end of the day, pretending to practice their lines. Really, they were staring into each other's eyes and trying as hard as they could not to make-out.
"When are you going to tell her, Leo?" Piper whispered suddenly. She happened to glance down at her script, and noticed that was her exact line. "I-I mean, Austin." "Piper," Leo muttered, pushing the script out of Piper's line of vision.
"No, Leo, I'm serious!" Piper exclaimed, her voice rising. Before she could continue, her cell phone rang from across the room. "Oh, that's Rose's school," Piper sighed. She turned around and spotted Elijah packing some things up.
"Elijah!" Piper yelled, running over to the director. "Since you're letting Leo and I stay here to practice, could you possibly go pick Rose up at school? I know, you're my boss, but…" "I'd love to Piper." Elijah answered, which totally blew Piper away. "She's a great kid."
"Oh, thank you, thank you!" Piper gasped. "Let me get my purse, and I can…" "She goes to Little Ring, right?" Elijah interrupted. Piper nodded her head. "I know exactly where it is, I pass it twice a day. Should I bring her back here?"
"That would be wonderful, thanks again Elijah!" Elijah nodded, smiled, then pulled on his jacket and stepped out into the hallway. Piper walked back over to Leo. "Okay, if we're not going to talk about breaking off your engagement, can we at least start working on a speech?"
"I'm already doing mine," Leo answered quickly. "I think we should do them separately, because we have different people to thank." "What is with you today?" Piper asked. "You won't talk to Jenny, and you didn't even tell me you already had a speech going!"
"I'm working everything out, I promise," Leo said, rubbing his thumb along Piper's cheek. "I love you." "I love you too," Piper echoed softly. Leo reached out and pulled Piper into a tender kiss. Piper crossed her arms behind Leo's neck and let the script fall to the ground.
"What are you doing?" A female voice shrieked. Leo pushed Piper away from him and looked up. Jenny was standing up on the stage with her hands on her hips. "Practicing," Leo answered. He held out his hand to Piper, who had tripped and fallen on the floor, and helped her up.
Piper leaned over and picked up her script. She flipped back to what she had been looking at before. "Page 14, see?" Piper held up the small packet over her head. "Whatever," Jenny replied. She stepped off the stage and wrapped her arm around Leo.
"You two have been acting really chummy lately," Jenny noted. "Well, you know we were really good friends in high school," Leo explained. "We've just been doing a lot of catching up, that's all." "You said she was the only one that you would ever wait for," Jenny mentioned.
Piper looked down at the floor, trying to hide her blushing cheeks. Jenny had said he talked about her all the time. Did that mean he gave away all his secrets about loving her? "It was an old crush, honestly. We're just friends," Leo lied. Piper could feel his eyes burning into the top of her head.
"I'll be backstage working on some things. Just holler when you're ready to leave," Jenny explained. She kissed Leo deeply, then smiled at him before walking away. Leo watched her leave, then turned around and pulled Piper to him, kissing her passionately.
Piper pulled away slowly and stared up at Leo. "You know, I think Jenny's was just a tad better." Leo said, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth. Piper hit Leo playfully on the chest then kissed him harder than she could ever remember.
Leo pulled away laughing. "You're not…jealous, are you, Piper?" Leo teased. "Yes," Piper whispered, the teasing gone from her voice. She wrapped her arms tightly around Leo's chest. Leo kissed the top of her head then ran his finger through her hair.
"What if you won't break it off because you still love her," Piper thought out loud. "She's so pretty and funny and…" "Not the woman I love," Leo cut in. Piper looked up at him, tears starting to creep into her eyes.
"I don't know how you came up with that idea, but I don't love her. I never loved her. It's always been you, Piper." Leo explained. "Jenny was right, I did tell her you were, and still are, the only girl I will ever wait for in the entire world."
Leo gave Piper a quick kiss, then pulled her into a big hug, rocking her back and forth. Piper pushed her face into the crook of Leo's neck and let a few tears roll down her face. She had been so scared Leo loved Jenny more she was crying out of relief.
"Oh, no!" Piper gasped suddenly, snapping her head up. "Rose is coming, and Jenny's here! She doesn't know that Rose is yours!" Leo's face looked concerned for a moment, then it became neutral. "Then I guess its time she knows the truth." Leo answered.
"Really?" Piper questioned. Leo nodded his head. Piper started to hug Leo again, then she saw the look in Leo's eyes. "You had this all planned, didn't you?" Piper exclaimed. Leo's face burst into the smile he could no longer hide.
"I told you I had everything worked out," Leo reminded her. "You are a little sneak, you know that?" Piper teased. "And I'm proud of it," Leo replied, pulling Piper into a kiss. "Now, prepare for fireworks, things are going to get messy."

About 15 minutes later, Elijah and Rose stepped onto the set. Piper and Leo had been practicing so hard they didn't even hear them come in. "Mommy! Daddy!" Rose shrieked, running towards her parents. Leo kneeled down and held out his arms.
Rose ran into her father's grasp and wrapped her little arms around his neck. "Did you have fun at school, pumpkin?" Leo asked. "Why are you calling me pumpkin, daddy?" Rose questioned. "I'm trying out nicknames. You don't like pumpkin?"
"No," Rose answered, shaking her head. "How 'bout muffin?" Leo suggested. Rose thought about it for a minute then nodded her head vigorously. "I'm a muffin!" Rose yelled. They all laughed, then Leo handed Rose over to Piper.
"So what did you do in school today?" Piper asked. "I made a drawing…oh no, Ewijah, I left my picture in your car!" Rose called out. "I'll go get it," Elijah answered, turning around and walking out. Rose turned back to Piper. "It's a picture of all three of us in front of our house!"
Piper smiled at Leo over Rose's shoulder, and Leo smiled back. "Daddy, I want to tell you someting!" Rose said, stretching her arms out for Leo. Leo set her on his hip and listened while Rose whispered something in his ear.
Leo whispered something back to Rose and they both smiled. "What are you telling him?" Piper asked her daughter. "Nothing," Rose answered with a smile. "Ohhh, Leo, she's adorable!" Jenny cooed. She stepped off stage again and walked over to Leo.
"What's your name?" Jenny asked Rose. Rose buried her face into Leo's neck. "Answer her, honey," Piper told her daughter. "Rose," Rose answered quietly. "What a pretty name. Leo, how did you get her?" "She's…my daughter," Leo explained.
"You adopted! Oh, that is so sweet! I've always loved men that have the heart to…" "No, Jen," Leo interrupted. "She's me and Piper's daughter." The smile slowly melted off Jenny's face. Then it turned bright red and a tantrum erupted.
"You guys had a DAUGHTER!" Jenny screamed. "How the hell could you not tell me? I'm going to be your wife!" "Actually, your not," Leo cut in. Piper stepped closer to him and he wrapped his arm around her waist.
"You're dumping me for that little whore?" Jenny exclaimed. "That little bitch that tore out your heart when you were 17? How can you go back to her?" "Because I love her," Leo replied simply. Piper tilted her head and pulled Leo into a kiss.
"NO!" Jenny screeched. Elijah walked back onto the set holding a piece of paper. "He loves me, bitch! I am the one he's going to…" "No, he's not." Piper interrupted. She took a step forward and slapped Jenny across the face.
"Get out of here, Jen," Leo added. "There's nothing you can do to change my mind now." Jenny screamed twice in anger, then turned around and stormed past Elijah and out the door. Elijah handed Rose her picture and smiled. "You're one big, happy family."
