Halliwell Family Picnic
There was a section of the Golden Gate Park that had steamers everywhere. Tables spread out with food and drink set on them, there were chairs spread out randomly to accommodate the people who would shortly be there. A family of four walked across the park two adults and two children of about 8. When they arrived they were greeted by another family.
"Hey Phoebe been busy lately?" Paige asked her older sister,
"Nah not really Elise gave me the week off seeing Coop's home." Phoebe hugged her little sister then her brother in law and niece and nephew.
"Do you know when Prue and Piper are getting here?" Paige asked
"I'm here Prue's going to be a bit late" said Piper coming up behind Paige. Wyatt, Chris Charlotte and Holly ran past them.
"Hey Aunt Phoebe, Aunt Paige" said Prue
"Hey ikle one" said Phoebe using her pet name for her niece Prue raised an eyebrow at her aunt
"Ok Pheebs I think ikle one is a bit old she's 12 not 7" said Paige Piper laughed at her sisters face
"don't worry Pheebs she wont even let Leo call her daddy's girl it has to be dad's girl or tiger" said Piper she watched as her daughter walked over to one of the tables grabbed a chair and sat her back pack on the table. She pulled out a laptop and turned it on then she pulled out her Ipod and turned it on.
Phoebe looked at her sister with a questioning look "she's into writing stories and almost finished her latest and I wouldn't let her stay at home without Leo who's away with work for the day" said Piper.
She and Leo had been separated for a month. Leo had stayed at their house, Piper had moved in with Paige and Phoebe. The Halliwell-Wyatt kids split their time between their Parents. The sisters sat down at the table Prue had set up at.
"I still don't see why you had to leave?" said Paige her sister nodded and they both looked over at Piper
"I moved out because I still love Leo but he won't talk to me at all and I don't know why. That's not why I moved in the first place he kept trying to pick a fight with me." Said Piper there were tears in her eyes that showed her sisters how much she still loved Leo.
Paige smiled at her older sister she placed her hand on Pipers that was sitting on the table.
"Why don't you tell him that you still love him wouldn't it be better to sort this out so you can move back before school started up again?" Paige asked
"how do you talk to someone who wont talk to you?" asked Piper Paige bit her lip deep in thought when Prue and Andy arrived with their kids the three Trudeau kids ran off to play with their cousins.
"Hey Pipe's" said Prue she hugged her sister and sat next to her
"Hey Andy" said Piper but Andy said nothing he just nodded and walked off the three younger Halliwell sisters looked at Prue with their eyebrows raised. Prue rolled her eyes
"He's been hanging around Leo…sorry Piper" she said.
Piper looked down at her hand that's when her sisters noticed she still wore her wedding ring. A tear fell onto it, then another and another.
"Pipe's it'll be ok" Prue pulled her little sister into a hug.
" I…I d-I don't know what I've ment t-to have done, he used to look at me with so much hate I- d- I love him so much." She broke down in tears, so much so that it got her daughters attention.
"Mum are you ok?" she asked little Prue got up out of her seat and hugged her mother.
"Aw another bout of waterworks" said Andy sarcastically, Prue got up and dragged her husband away.
"What is your problem?" she asked trying to keep her voice down.
"Piper cheated on Leo I saw her" said Andy Prue raised an eyebrow
"when did this apparently take place?" she asked looking at him in the eye an angry look on her face
"Three months ago that weekend she was ment to be away" he said making quotations when he said away.
"Andy she was away on camp with the twins, I know it was a combined grade camp our daughter Piper was there as was I, she spent the whole weekend at a dam with me, Wyatt, Chris and our Piper along with about 100 other people we were more then 100 kilometers away from any city, so you didn't see Piper" Prue shook her head and walked back to her sisters.
The rest of the day Andy stayed out of the way of the sisters, he played with his children, nieces and nephews. When the day was over he walked in front of the rest of his family. He felt so stupid he knew Piper was away on that camp but he still let himself believe that whomever he saw was his sister in law. He had seen the look on her face earlier, the way she played with her wedding band, the tears that had wet her face when she heard what he had said. He felt so guilty for not trusting his first thought; he had to take a second look.
He wanted to hit his head on something how could I have been so dumb Piper loves Leo why did I say anything oh I'm such an idiot where's a hard surface when you need one he thought.
