A/N: I don't own charmed

Two weeks after the last chapter

She sat waiting patiently on the toilet seat of the bathroom connected to her and Leo's bedroom. The clock seemed to be mocking her. Time always seemed to go so slow when she wanted it to pick up the pace, but fast when she wanted to catch the moment.

Ten…nine…eight…seven…six…five…four…three…two…one…

She felt like she couldn't breathe. The stick sat on the counter, facing the tile. It held her future. Ten seconds seemed like ten hours for her, but now she had the results, and she was terrified to look at them. Would Leo be happy if it told her some news, or upset?

She flipped it over, with a shaking hand. It was one of those tests that gave you direct results.

The test read " pregnant"

She dropped the test into the garbage; with the aim she still had, and walked into her bathroom. What would she tell Leo? They had just gotten married, and she didn't think she was ready to do this. She could do anything with Leo by her side, she reminded herself. The best thing to do was just to tell him. Right now he was with Laura at the park. That was a weekly routine for them. They would probably be home within fifteen minutes or so.

She put a hand to her stomach that was flat now, but would become big within four months. That was what happened with Laura. She had started to grow within four months of her pregnancy. She knew the perfect way to tell him. She grabbed the test out of the garbage, wrapped it up in a little bit of wrapping paper, and attached string to it. She would give this to him as an, " I love you" gift. It wasn't the best, but it was original.

Fifteen minutes passed, and then twenty and she was wondering urgently when he was going to return. Finally he walked through the door with Laura.

" Leo!" she cried, pulling him into the house.

" Hello." He said. " We're back. Sorry we lost track of time."

" That's okay." She said. "Can you put Laura down for her afternoon nap, and meet me in our room?"

" Sure, everything okay?" he said.

" Yeah." She said. " Everything is okay."

He went upstairs, put Laura into her bed, and went across the hall to their bedroom.

" Leo."she said, when he walked into the room. " I have a present for you." She grabbed the wrapped test from her bedside nightstand.

" What occasion is it?" he smiled.

" No occasion." she said. " Just an 'I love you' gift." She held out the package for him to take.

" I see." He smiled, taking the package from her.

" I hope you love it." She said.

He smiled, and began to unwrap it.

She began to get nervous. How would he react to this kind of news? He was happy about Laura, but at that time he didn't know it was his own child. He loved her like his own, though. She remembered when she told Leo.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

" Leo I am pregnant." She said happily to Leo at her restaurant P4 before when it closed for the night.

" Piper, that's wonderful." Leo said. " Just remember if you need me, I am always here for you and this baby."

" Thank you, Leo." Piper smiled. She felt a stab of regret, not being with Leo, and guiltiness, knowing that this was actually Leo's child. She wasn't happy with Dan anymore. He showed a second side the night after their wedding.

" Dan I am pregnant." She told her husband later that night. He was sitting on the couch, beer in hand, pizza on the table. He was watching a Lakers game and he hadn't taken his eyes off of the TV.

" Dan did you hear me?" she said again. " I am pregnant."

" That's nice dear." He said unemotionally. " Hey can you get me a beer?"

Piper walked out of the room in tears.

He finished pulling the paper off of it, and looked at it. He realized what it was instantly, and she could see his eyes dart to the result. He looked at it, and then back at her. He didn't say anything, but kiss her passionately.

She pulled away, and looked into his beautiful green eyes.

" So I take that as you are happy?" she smiled, as tears fell down her cheek fast.

" Happy?" he repeated. " This is the greatest gift you could give me. I am overjoyed. Piper, we're having a baby."

" Leo we didn't even talk about this." She sighed. " But I feel ready with you here. After all, you were really the only one helping me raise Laura all her life while Dan was on 'business trips.' You were in the delivery room, and he wasn't."

" Laura was the most beautiful miracle I had ever seen in my life." He smiled. " I still remember that day."

" Where is Dan?" Piper yelled so that people in the next room could hear her.

" He's not here, Piper." Leo said. " But I am and I am going to help you through this."

A contraction hit Piper, and she gripped Leo's hand.

" Its okay." Leo said. " Just think of the baby girl you will be holding soon."

" Leo, thank you for being here." She breathed. " It means so much to me and this baby."

" Piper I need you to push on the next contraction." The doctor said.

The next contraction it Piper, and she started to push. A sound of cries filled the room after a few painful pushes.

The cries were the most beautiful thing Piper had ever heard.

The baby was cleaned off, and handed to Piper.

She was the most beautiful thing Piper had seen.

Leo wished that this were his child. Dan didn't even care about Piper and their baby, because Leo knew Dan was getting drunk at a bar, he just didn't have the heart to tell Piper that.

" She's beautiful, Piper." Leo said.

" She is isn't she?" Piper said. " My little Laura. Close to the name of the man who took care of mommy and her, more times than can be counted."

Leo smiled. Piper was such a great person. It broke his heart when they broke up, but his heart was starting to heal, and he couldn't think about it anymore. Just being a close friend to her made him happy.

" Leo, I love you." She said after they relived that memory together.

" I love you too, Piper." He said.

They were sitting at the dinner table that night, eating Piper's homemade lasagna when they decided to tell Laura the good news.

" Laura, how would you feel about a baby brother or sister?" Leo asked her.

" I want a brooder." Laura said hopefully.

Leo laughed at the way she said 'brother'.

" Mommy's going to have a baby, Laura." Piper said.

" Where baby?" Laura asked.

" They are in Mommy's tummy." Piper said.

" How did it get there?" she asked.

Piper just about choked on her lasagna.

" Um…magic." Piper lied.

" Really?" Laura asked.

" Yep." Piper said.

Leo smiled at his wife. That was a nice save.

Piper went to bed that night, joined by her husband.

" This baby is a miracle, you do know that?" he said, as he got into bed.

" Our miracle." She said, and drifted off to a slumber so peaceful.
