The car pulled up right on time, A man got out feeling nervous and rang the bell.

"Hello, you look very handsome". The khaki pants and black shirt he wore was just causal enough for a dinner with his ex-wife. It wasn't too over the top like her caramel colored boots, black dress and her that hair was half up, the half that was down was curled.

"Well, you look stunning. Are you ready to go?" they linked hands with out even thinking about it. His fingers rested on the bandage on her right finger.

It was busy when they arrived and had to wait awhile for seating to open up. They found themselves talking about Melinda. About how she was doing in school and her teacher fears she might have a dyslexia They had to wait a hour before they got seated. Leo pulled her chair out and waited for her to sit down. The waiter offered wine but he declined, he didn't want to drink in front of Piper, since she couldn't have any. They stayed silent for a while and it began to eat away at him till he cracked.

"Piper, are you happy about having a second child?"

"Yea, I always wanted at least two or three children." she spoke trying to break the awkward silence between them . A hand rose to her mouth and she sighed heavily, and ran to use the restroom and stayed in there for quiet some time. It was just the smell of the combined food, on the surrounding tables that made her stomach turn inside out. She stayed like that until a waitresses came in to check on her. Piper got up and rinsed her mouth and dug her around in her purse till she found a mint and left. After, he helped her get into bed and got a bucket just in case she felt sick.

"Do you want me to stay with you?

"No, I will be fine…" she ended up throwing up. Leo held back her hair and rubbed her back.

"I'm sorry for ruining our date. I just wanted everything to be perfect." she apoglized. Leo kissed her head, even if some of the remains had ended up in her hair.

"You didn't ruin it, you just made it very interesting." Piper laughed as he helped her into the shower. Normally, Piper would hate when someone did this, but she was too weak to fight. The shower was a quick one and she got carried back over to the bed. Piper put on a simple nightgown while Leo got down to his boxers and a white wife beater.

It was about ten minutes later and Piper's nausea had passed for now. The skin on her body tingled with pleasure as Leo wrapped his arm around her.

"Can you call Dad and tell him I will be spending the night here? Its just the thought of the motion sickness that can come or …"

"I'll make the call. I think you are just trying to find a excuse to stay with me" he smirked .

"Guilty, but this is only to make up for the dinner tonight. I also like when you hold me, and I think baby does, too" Leo got up and quickly made the phone call and was told that Melinda were going to make her bed into a tent and was having a campout and making smores. You could hear his footsteps as he went back into the bedroom and found her fast asleep. Being careful, he slipped in and pulled her body closer to his. He said a silent prayer that he wouldn't find a way to scare her away. Sometimes, he moved too quickly without realizing it. The fear of that happening kept going back and forth in his head like a ping-pong game.

"Good Morning, this is KISS FM…" the voice blared till Leo smacked it off. He turned over and panic set in when he noticed her side was empty. The small beep of the microwave made him feel relived. He rushed over to Piper, and she soon felt two arms around her and someone kiss her head. "Hi, feeling any better? Piper nodded and handed him a plate. It was his favorite; a ham and cheese omelet with just the right veggies mixed in.

"I was thinking I can spend the day with Melinda. We could both use some cloths and I know you'd rather watch paint dry than go shopping. Later, we could light a fire in the fireplace and just talk in just the privacy of the apartment tonight. You don't need take me to nice dinners to impress me. Just by staying last night and not getting grossed out, you impressed me." Piper offered a peck on the cheek, but they both felt a magnetic force pulling their lips together. They broke apart when they heard Melinda walk in.

"Is this a good pace for you?" he bit his lip when he asked and it ended up bleeding slightly.

"Its prefect. I'll see you later." she left grabbing her fake designer purse on the way out. The girls spent the day shopping and ended up meeting Leo at the food court for lunch. While, Leo went back home. Piper took Melinda to get her very first set of earrings, if she promised to go bed without a fuss later. It wasn't till later the girls returned with various bags with store logos on the sides. Leo had made a quick dinner and they ate. Soon, Melinda went upstairs to take a bath and read till she was too tired to keep her eyes open. The adults both changed and waited till she fell asleep before they went downstairs to share an evening by the fire.

Note: I just wanted to keep everyone up to date on the ages and her pregnancy

Melinda is 6 years old.

Piper is almost 2 months along.
