Title: New Hometown
Everyday we walk right past all the concrete and the glass. I don't know where we're going. I hardly ever see you face and there's not enough space for all the love we should be growing.
We just need a little earth to stand on. Plant our hearts on solid ground. Turn the lights out on this city wake up in a new hometown. We'll stand out in our front yard where we can finally breathe if we find a little earth to stand on baby you and me.
Piper and Leo were eating at a restaurant. Prue Andy and Phoebe were at work and Piper didn't want to cook so her and Leo went out to eat. Piper had order Chicken Strips with Chili cheese fries. Leo got Chicken Strips with mashed potatoes.
"Leo I don't want to go back. Don't get me wrong I love your family. And I know you do too. It's just… I miss Prue, I miss Phoebe, I miss Andy, and I miss P3. I want my old life back. The one with you and my sisters Andy and with P3 too." Piper said out of the blue. Leo wondered why she was quite the whole time and now he knew why.
"Piper… I can't just leave my job. How will we live without any income?"
"I was offered P3 back..to manage...Leo… If you don't want to move back fine… but either way I am. Leo I can't stand it any more. I lived my whole life with my sisters and then we just up and move. And yeah you have brothers and nieces and nephews… they're my nieces and nephews too and I love them a lot. But I can't stand it anymore."
"You really want this? Are you sure?"
"Positive Leo." Piper said and looked into Leo's eyes.
"Okay. Getyour jobback… We'll look for a house because I refuse to live with your sisters again." Piper giggled. "And I'll look for a job. Okay?"
"Kay. Thank you Leo."
Imagine Friday football games where everybody knows our name. Maybe stop and say hello. I'll bet they'll have a town parade, and kids selling lemonade baby don't you wanna go?
We just need a little earth to stand on. Plant our hearts on solid ground. Turn the lights out on this city wake up in a new hometown. We'll stand out in our front yard where we can finally breathe if we find a little earth to stand on baby you and me.
"Piper you know how much I love you right?" Leo asked.
"Yeah… why?" Piper looked at him.
"What if this isn't what we want? We can't go back."
"I know Leo."
"Aren't you afraid that this is the wrong choice?"
"No… Leo I know that it's not a wrong choice. And With you here every step of the way there's no need to be afraid." Piper said. "Leo I love you, you know that. But if you don't want to do this maybe we should you know spend time in our hometowns and think about it."
"What are you saying honey?"
"I'm saying that maybe you should go back home and think about it and I'll stay here and think about it. Maybe without each other pressuring one another we can make a clear choice."
"No I'm staying with you. And if you want to move back here then we're going to move back here. As a family." Leo said. "I actually like this apartment." Leo said looking around the apartment.
"Me too." Piper said. "I like the kitchen area. Its huge!" Leo smiled.
"Lets take it… I mean we do have the money." Leo looked at the real estate agent. "We'll take it. Right here right now."
I don't want to face tomorrow if we don't leave this place tonight I've never been more sure of anything in my life.
All we just need a little earth to stand on. Plant our hearts on solid ground. Turn the lights out on this city wake up in a new hometown. Stand out in our front yard where we can finally breathe if we find a little earth to stand on baby you and me.
Piper pulled out her checkbook and they paid for the apartment. The agent left the keys to them and left. "Welcome home Piper" Leo said and picked piper up and spun her around.
"Now all we have to do is move everything in here Leo."
"Yes don't remind me please. I remember what it was like last time. I moved everything while you sat on your ass and watched me work."
"Oh and what a sight it was." She smiled and kissed Leo. "I love you."
"I love you too." Leo kissed her again.
Leo and Piper had their stuff moved into their new apartment in less than a month. Thanks to Piper's side of the family. The Halliwell sisters and Andy went home leaving Piper and Leo to themselves.
Piper and Leo sat on the couch together. Piper was in Leo's arms sleeping and Leo was watching her sleep. No work tomorrow so they decided to spend time alone. Leo picked his wife up and carried her to their room and he went to go back out into the living but Piper stopped him.
"Leo? Don't go. Stay with me." Piper said. Leo crawled into bed next to her. "Leo I need to tell you something."
"Can it wait baby?"
"I guess…" Piper said.
"Okay I give. Tell me."
Need a little earth to stand on. Plant our hearts on solid ground. Turn the lights out on this city wake you in a new hometown. Dance out in our front yard where we can finally breathe if we find a little earth to stand on baby you and me. Oh yeah oh. Oh.
Piper rolled over to face away from him. "I'm pregnant."
"What? Are you sure?"
"Yeah…" Piper looked at him. "I'm sorry."
"No sweetie don't be. It's okay."
"No it's not Leo. I'm not ready for a baby."
"What? Piper you are the most readyist person I know. If anyone cando this.. you can"
"Yea... but still... were so young. And is Readyist even a word Leo?"
"Were not young Piper..I don't think so.. it just fit... How far along are you?"
"Two months... at least... I'm not really for sure."
"Wow...I'm gonna be a daddy..." Leo said. He kissed Piper on the forehead and they drifted to sleep.
