Paige watched from the doorway as her older sister slowly set a few photos of Wyatt on the new baby's dresser and sighed as Piper placed one of Leo and Wyatt on a night table next to the rocking chair. She knew the picture had been taken only days before Wyatt had been killed and could tell Piper was overwhelmed. Paige walked slowly into the room so as not to scare Piper who didn't know she had been watching and wrapped her arm around Piper's shoulders as Piper was swept into another memory.
"Don't touch me" Piper sobbed clutching tightly at her pillow as Leo tried to rub her back. They had just gotten back from their ultrasound appointment and Piper was devastated to learn that they were having another little boy- the brother Wyatt had so desperately wanted. She couldn't help but imagine another little boy with the same curls, the same blue eyes and she didn't want that and more than that she didn't want this new baby to suffer because of her own grief.
"Piper we need to talk" Leo said softly "I can't do this Piper. I can't be around you like this. You won't even look at me anymore!"
Piper knew he was right but looking at him hurt. She knew Wyatt would have looked like him as he grew and Piper couldn't stand the pictures that played in her mind when she looked at her husband. A little boy going to his first day of school with bright blue eyes and the same golden curls and mischievous smile as his dad, a young man going to prom, the same young man looking very much like Leo getting married and having kids of his own one day. The same little boy she had held in her arms only a short time ago.
It had been a month and a half since Wyatt's death and Piper could hardly will herself to get up in the morning, the only reason she ate and went through the daily motions was the little baby inside of her reminding her that life does go on.
Paige had thrown herself into demon vanquishing, similar to how Piper had after the death of Prue. Phoebe had thrown herself into work, hardly ever home. When Phoebe wasn't at work she was at Jason's and Piper knew her little sister was considering Jason's proposal that she move to Japan with him. Leo was so busy 'up there' and with his charges he was hardly around- but that was her own fault Piper knew she had pushed him away.
"If you can't deal anymore, just go" Piper whispered softly her body still shaking from the latest crying jag. "Go!" she shouted when Leo hadn't moved from her side.
Leo stood and looked at her and Piper saw the tortured nature of his eyes, they didn't have the same brightness they'd had a few months ago. It looked like he had been broken "I think we should get a divorce" He said as he tried to catch her eye.
If her heart wasn't already shattered it definitely would have been now. The man she had vowed to spend the rest of her life with was leaving and he was taking what was left of her heart with him. She couldn't bring herself to say anything just to nod slowly and try to bite back the new wave of tears she felt welling behind her eyes.
Leo sighed again and turned away from Piper unable to stand the look on her face any longer he orbed away.
Piper laid there on the bed that was suddenly way too big and sobbed again. She didn't care who heard her or what they thought she just needed to cry. Her whole life had been turned upside down in one fell swoop and she had no idea how to pick herself up again.
