the truth

Andy's hand hesitated over the door bell of the Halliwell-Wyatt house he drew in a deep breath and rang the bell. A minute later Leo answered the door.

"Hey Andy come on in the kids are all in their rooms doing well whatever they do come in" Leo stepped aside and let his brother in law in. He lead Andy to the lounge room, Andy bit his lip as he saw Leo sit down.

"Umm Leo I have something I really need to tell you, and your not going to like the topic but I really need to tell you something about that well incident" Andy looked over at Leo who's smile had disappeared.

"Do we have to I know what happened you filmed it on your phone and thank god you did, I wouldn't have known I was also way that weekend meeting my brothers." Andy bit his lip again.

"Yeah about that it seems I was wrong I know the person in the video did look like Piper but it was from the back, any way Prue got it out of me at the family picnic when I told her she got mad at me. Piper was away with the twins and little Piper on a school camp so it wasn't Piper I saw" said Andy Leo's eyes flashed with anger, sorrow and hurt.

"So I kicked my wife out, yelled at her, tried to get her to tell me about something that she never did, ignored every phone call from her and every message. All because of you…Andy I could kill you…lucky for you I need you to stay here and look after the kids while I go and grovel for forgiveness from my wife." Leo handed him the tea towel on his shoulder.

Leo opened the door of the Halliwell Manor.

"Hello Piper I- I th-ink we need to talk" he said Piper walked out of the kitchen with Paige

"Paige could I talk to Piper alone please?" Paige shrugged and walked back into the kitchen. Piper looked at Leo with a blank look on her face,

"Could we sit down?" Leo asked and motioned towards the sun room, they sat down Leo sitting in front of Piper he grabbed her hand

"Piper I've been an idiot I should have listened to you not that dummy Andy I know your hurt and I know that what I said sometimes isn't forgivable, and you have every right to hate me and I know you like to keep that promise to grams about second chances but I really do love you Piper I never stopped, I was so hurt by what Andy said I didn't think of asking you the truth. If you never forgive me I understand just know I'll always love you" he looked up the blank look was still on his wife's face she got up and walked into the kitchen a smile on her face.

"What are you so happy about?" Paige asked washing up their lunch plates.

"Leo's groveling I'm guessing Andy told him the truth" Paige laughed

" and now your going to make him grovel some more just to make up for what he did" Piper nodded at her sister and laughed, she hugged Paige and kissed her on the cheek

"Love you Paigey" she walked back into the lounge room.

"Piper please forgive me I'll do anything absolutely anything" a smile come upon Piper's face.

"anything?" she asked he nodded Piper motioned for him to follow her out side and around the side of the house.

"See that window up there?" she asked Leo nodded

"that used to be my room growing up, I got a charm bracelet from Paige when we were kids, but it was lost when grandpa died Prue threw it out the window if you can find it I'll forgive you if not well…." Piper shrugged and walked away.

Two hours later Piper was standing at that window with Paige

"Your not going to make him keep looking are you?" Paige asked her sister

"Nah another half an hour and I'll let him off" they laughed and walked out of the room.

"FOUND IT" Leo yelled Piper looked over at Paige

"not possible we looked for days and couldn't find it" they ran down stairs and opened the door Leo was standing there holding the bracelet

"oh my gosh" said Paige Piper jumped into his arms

"I can't believe you found it, I was just doing it to well punish you I didn't think you'd find it" she grabbed the bracelet and kissed his dirty face.

"You mean I did that for nothing?" he asked Piper laughed

"no baby, you found something that will give you immunity for years." She kissed him again. Leo pulled back

"I got all dirty for nothing hey?" there was a glint of evil in his eyes he turned around Piper still in his arms and walked back to their house

. "Leo what are you doing?" she asked as they got to the back gate when she saw the backyard pool

"NO don't you dare" she said Leo laughed he opened the gate

"time for a wash I think" he said and ran to the pool and jumped carrying Piper who screamed she came up coughing and spluttering she glared at Leo and swam over to him

"You'll pay for that" she jumped up and pushed him under the water

"Suffer" she laughed when he didn't come up she spun around

"Leo? ok that's not funny come one" she started to spin around when she saw him face down on the other side of the Pool she quickly swam over.

"Leo honey?" she asked but he didn't answer she turned him over.

"Leo" she cried she lent into listen to see if he was breathing when a spout of water hit her in the face she jumped.

"Not funny you had me terrified" she hit him Leo laughed

"I'm sorry" he pulled her into him and kissed her, they stayed there for a while till Piper realized her bracelet was somewhere in the pool.

"Leo my bracelet you threw me here you find it again" she said Piper swan over to the edge and hoped out. She sat on the side with only her legs in the pool. Half an hour later Leo came over

"Here you go my sweet." He pulled him self up and sat next to her.

"I could have killed Andy when he told me before, I wish I had listened to you a month ago we wouldn't have gone through everything and neither would the kids. I'm really sorry Pipes" Piper smiled and grabbed his hand

"it's ok really it is you weren't to know you'd been away for a couple of months looking for your brothers, how old are they now?" she asked moving over and leaning into him

"um they'd be… lets see… 25 or there abouts wow shows you just how screwed up my family is I haven't seen them since they were born" he kissed her on the head

"Ok I think our kiddely winks would like to know their mums coming home." He hopped up and held out his hand to Piper. She smiled and took it.
