A/N Hey there all. So as you may have noticed Leo is out of character but that is for a reason as this story progresses. I have a plan in my head! Leo is essentially giving Piper what he thinks she wants. She can't stand being near him at this time and though that MAY change in the future I haven't completely decided on that one. This story is however more about Piper. I am going to include a lot of her relationship with Paige. It's not that I don't like Phoebe or Leo it's just the way this story plays out in my head.

I have also fixed the no anonymous reviews allowed! I hadn't realized that only logged in reviews were enabled. So I would again love any reviews and thank you for taking the time to read my story!

Oh! To Spencersince1994- Hey baby sis glad to know you read the story! Hope you read the rest of it too! Otherwise I know where you sleep :P

Piper sighed and leaned her head onto her baby sister's shoulder and said softly "Hey Missy Paige, how long you been standing there?"

"Long enough to know you are letting yourself go too much into the memories again Pipe. The nursery is ready so why don't we just shut the door until the baby gets here you don't need to subject yourself to this" Paige suggested quietly. She didn't want to upset Piper but she hated seeing her like this.

Since the incident Piper and Paige had grown extremely close any differences between them set aside. They discovered they both adored "Criminal Minds" and Sudoku and that when Paige put her mind to it she was actually a very good cook and Piper really did love helping her in the kitchen. Piper let a happy smile grow over her face as she remembered one of the few happy moments from the past few months.

It was shortly after Leo had finished moving his things to storage- he had decided to take the elders up on their offer to become one of them and Piper wasn't sure how she felt about the impending demise of their marriage. Phoebe had been essentially living with Jason and Piper and Paige only saw her when she came to get something she'd left at the house.

One of her many cravings had overcome her and she was on a mission to have a hot fudge sundae. As she got closer to the kitchen a smell that caused her sensitive stomach to churn and as she entered the kitchen she couldn't help but laugh at the improbable scene in front of her.

Paige, the one who would think of any excuse not to help Piper in the kitchen was standing by the oven covered head to toe in flour and with a devastated look on her face as she held the pan of not quite charred cookies.

Piper's cheery laugh caused Paige to drop the pan onto the stove and look pitifully at her older sister. "Paige hun what on earth are you trying to do? Burn our house down?" Piper teased as she moved towards the island glancing at the cookie dough that Paige had yet to burn beyond recognition.

"I was trying to make you cookies" Paige pouted pushing her dark hair behind her ears as she smiled sheepishly at Piper.

"Well you are in luck I think we can salvage the rest of these" Piper nodded decisively "Your batter is too liquidy so we just need to remedy that and then remember not to leave them in the oven so long again." She grinned at her little sister as she set to work eagerly.

Paige grinned back thrilled to see that although her surprise hadn't worked out it had gotten a smile back on Pipers face. She missed her big sister- while she was still there in body her spirit and mind were obviously elsewhere. "Thanks Pipe!"

For the next hour the sisters worked on fixing Paige's blunder and as the final batch of new and improved cookies the pair settled around the kitchen table and munched happily away.

"Piper do you think we could maybe . . . " Paige trailed off as she looked at her sister shyly "Watch a movie together? You know have a girl's night? Phoebe used to tell me about how you two and Prue" she stumbled slightly over her oldest sister's seldom used name "would all hang out and do like spa treatments and watch movies and I would love to do that with you." Paige's eyes lit up hopefully.

Piper smiled widely for what seemed like the millionth time that evening and leaned over hugging her sister to her side "You get the hot fudge sundaes, I'll get the nail polish we'll meet in my room in 5 and pick a movie?"

The pair ended up settled on Piper's large bed, cozy in their pjs watching episodes of "Criminal Minds" and savoring their hot fudge sundaes. They painted each other's nails and giggled like high school girls and as they curled under the covers snuggled close Piper looked at Paige and said softly "Paige I know I don't say it enough but I do love you. You are my baby sister and have helped me so much recently so no matter what I do or what I say please always remember I love you and you are always wanted here."

"I know Pipe. I love you too. Always. I know that we haven't been very close but you are my hero, you save the world from evil daily and no matter what life throws you, you always end up with your head held high." Paige smiled as Piper tenderly kissed the top of her head. She was finally getting the relationship with Piper she had desired since the day they found out they were sisters.

It was in this position that the duo fell asleep comfortable in the fact that no matter what happened or who else came and went in their lives that they also would have each other.
