Old Friends

Piper awakes from her morning dreams to see that is now time to start a new day. She looks over to her husband Leo who has his hands wrapped around her waist.

"Morning sleepyhead why are you asleep so late."

"Piper it is only 8 o'clock in the morning why do you always do this.

"Do what."

Piper it is summer vacation, and none of the kids have school so go back to sleep" he says as he kisses her forehead.

"Well Leo I have to do inventory at the club and the restaurant and I have to go shopping for tonight's dinner. So unless you want to do it I have to get up now."

"Okay how about I take care of the club and you take care of the restaurant." Then we can go shopping together for tonight's dinner. How does that sound".

"Why Mr. Wyatt how did you become so perfect."

Leo smiled and kissed her again this time passionately on the lips, "I became perfect the day that I met and married you."

"Well in that case how about we stay in bed for about 10 more minutes" Piper said as she began to kiss Leo's neck.

"Make it fifteen and you have got yourself a deal"

"What ever you say Mr. Wyatt.

Piper and Leo are now downstairs and dressed while their kids are getting ready for their day out. Piper was making breakfast but was stopped when her and Leo started kissing again.

"Oh my god can you two like get a room, your daughter has just entered the room."

"While if you don't like what you see, you can always leave" said Piper sarcastically.

"And miss breakfast you have got to be kidding me." While Melinda was busy making herself breakfast Wyatt and Chris walked in the kitchen also. "Look Wy it's are parents acting like love struck teenagers.

"Watching them kiss is making me lose my appetite" Chris replied while drinking his juice.

"Now you now how I feel when I walked in here a little while ago."

"Well." Wyatt began, "at least they are kissing each other and not somebody else"

Piper and Leo stopped kissing and looked at their children "You know, me and your father can hear every word you guys are saying."

"We just wanted to make you stop grossing us out for a minute or two" laughed Melinda.

"When two people are in love like we are you can't help but share a kiss every once in a while." Leo replied kissing Piper on the cheek and returning to picking off of his bagel.

"Dad, guess what trying to finish my breakfast here."

"Yeah Wyatt's right," Chris said, "lets just change the subject."

"Okay", said Piper, "what do you guys have planned for today."

"Chris and I are going to the restaurant to work because we need to save up for our brothers camping trip."

"And Prue and I are going to the mall and shop for school clothes" said Melinda with a smile. Prue was Phoebe's oldest child and they were close like two peas in a pod, like her aunts would say. They could have fun doing just abut anything and were always getting into trouble.

"Since everyone has plans today, I want everyone home by seven because that is when the family dinner starts, got it." Piper said.

"Sir yes sir", Chris replied and everyone in the kitchen smiled and laughed and left to go to get dressed for their daily activities.

"Well Diane, everything looks great I mean the books and inventory are accurate."

"That is what you hired me to do, Mrs. Halliwell.

"Piper please call me Piper."

"Okay" said Diane, "I will remember to call you Piper."

Suddenly Wyatt and Chris rush to her office to tell her that someone is outside to see her. "Wyatt and Chris what are you running for, is something wrong."

"No but there is someone out here who wants to talk to you"

"Yeah, he said that he knows you from way back"

"He you mean it is a guy"

"Yes mom", said Chris, "that is what a he is, a guy."

"Oh you" Piper replied as she hit Chris on the back of the head. "Don't be such a smart ass."

Piper, Wyatt, and Chris go back into the front of the restaurant and Piper is shocked to see who it is.

"Oh my god, Dan what are you doing here." Piper replied as she went over to give him a hug.

"Wyatt, who is Dan."

"I think that is the guy that mom was dating before she got back together with Dad." Wyatt gasped. "Oh I am so telling Dad."

"Dan it is so great to see you." Piper smiled fakely. "What is he doing here" she thought to herself.

"It is great to see you too, what have you been up to."

"Well", Piper replied, "I still live at the manor and I own P3 and Halliwell Haven. What about yourself"

"I started my own construction company and I am looking for a summer home here in San Francisco. "Wow she is as beautiful as ever I wonder if she is still single." he thought as he looked into her eyes. "Who are those young men who are watching me like a hawk over there."

"Who, oh those are my children Wyatt and Chris. Wyatt and Chris come over here I would like you to meet an old friend of mine" Piper said to her two children as she pulled them over to where she was. "And I also have daughter named Melinda."

"This is my old friend Dan" Dan shook hands with the boys when they came over and stood in front of them.

"Wyatt"

"Chris."

"Mom we know who he is and let me tell you Dad is not going to be pleased." Chris said smugly after shaking Dan's hand.

"Who is their father," Dan asked hoping that it was anyone else except Leo.

Wyatt answered his question with pride, "I think you know him, his name is Leo Wyatt. The man that stole mom away from you."

"So you two actually made it" Dan smirked.

"What is that supposed to mean." Wyatt snarled as he began to ball up his fist.

"Wyatt show some respect to Dan" Piper hissed.

"No it is okay Piper, he has a right to act like this when he sees his mother talking to her ex boyfriend. I was hoping that maybe we could get together and talk. You know catch up on old times."

"Dan I am flattered, I really am but well you see I don't think that would be such a great idea because I am with Leo and that could open up old wounds." Piper smiled. "I really wouldn't him to get upset."

"Are you sure because we have such a great history. Hell Leo could even come if he wanted too."

"No I still don't think that would be a good idea"

"Why would he try to hurt me or something." Dan laughed.

"What Leo would never do anything like that." Piper replied. "Although he might try to kill you" she thought to herself.

Dan's expression on his face went from happy to very sad when he saw that their was no way that him and Piper would be together again. "Well okay then Piper, I guess that I will see you around." Dan said as he walked out leaving Piper and her children alone in the restaurant again.

"Well, that went well", said Chris, "moms old boyfriend still has feelings for her. Wait till I tell dad."

"You cannot tell your father that Dan was here today, that could devastate him."

Wyatt put on his devious smile, "We won't tell dad if the price is right."

"Are you trying to blackmail me Wyatt Matthew Halliwell because if you are you better think twice about it."

"Okay we won't tell dad right Wyatt, it will just be between us three."

"That's my boy so everyone lets get back to work because after this I have to go shopping for dinner tonight."

"That was too close I hope that Dan stays away from us and the boys can keep a secret especially Wyatt" Piper thought as she went into her office and shut the door.

Later on that day Piper and Leo are at the local super market shopping for dinner where Piper runs into another friend from her past.

"Okay Leo I have everything except for the meat, what should I cook tonight."

"Piper you know that anything you cook would be delicious so it doesn't matter."

"You are just saying that because I am your wife."

"Yes I am", Leo kisses Piper on the lips softly, "and because you are a great kisser." Not paying attention to what they were doing they run into another person's cart.

"Piper, is that you how have you been." A voice of the person's cart they hit stunned Piper as she turned around and noticed who it was.

"Greg is that you," Piper shrieked. "oh my god two exes in one day what is God mad at me or something" Piper thought. "How have you been."

"I have been fine, I am still working at the fire department. I hear that you own a new restaurant now that is great"

"Yeah I do you remember meeting my husband Leo"

"You're back together with him isn't this the guy that left you twice."

"Hey", Leo said angrily, "I have never left her twice. There was a period in time when we were separated but we worked it out."

"Well last time I saw Piper she said that you were away, I just assumed"

"No", interrupted Piper trying to stop a fight before it started, "Leo was away because his family was having problems."

"What kind of problems."

"They were personal problems. He just had to go away for a while."

"Oh" Greg said but Piper could see that Greg was not buying the story so she deciced that maybe it was time that they left. Leo was looking angrier by the second and she really didn't want to freeze him to stop a fight in a grocery store.

"Well look at the time we really should be going, see you around." Piper said as she grabbed Leo's hand and began to pull him away, leaving Greg in the middle of the aisle and went to the checkout line. After about a minute or two of silence Leo finally found his composure and spoke.

"Piper when was the last time you saw Greg."

"Okay the truth is, the last time I saw him was after you were frozen," she started to explain, "and he backed into my car and offered to get it fixed."

"What else happened."

"Well it was a hectic so I asked him wot watch Wyatt for me and he did. It was alright Wyatt seemed to have fun but when he brought Wyatt back he assumed."

"Assumed what."

"He assumed that you had left again and he tried to kiss me." Piper said saying the last part really fast.

"He tried to kiss you and you never told me about it." Leo hissed.

"Because as soon as he tried I pushed him away and I told him that you were coming back." Piper replied. "It's not like I asked him to do it, and while we are talking I saw Dan today too"

"What" Leo shrieked causing everyone in the line to turn around and look at them. "Were you going to tell me about any of this, or where going to keep this to yourself."

"Leo keep it down." Piper hissed as she turned his head to face here. "I was going to tell you but I didn't want you to get upset. Does it even matter if I see them, because I don't want to be with them, I'm with you remember. I am in love with you and only you."

Looking into Piper's eyes Leo know that he couldn't be mad at her because what she was saying is true. They loved each other more than life itself and nobody was going to tear them apart, not even her exes.

"Alright, I guess I overreacted a little."

"A little" Piper laughed.

"Okay, a lot, it's just nerve wracking to hear about men you onced loved"

"Leo I never loved Greg or Dan. You are the only man that I ever really loved. And probably the only one that I ever will."

"Is that right." Leo asked.

"That's right" Piper smiled as she stood on her tip toes to kiss Leo on the lips and move up in the line.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

I thought I was over Piper but until today I was wrong, dead wrong. I can't

believe I saw her today, she was just as beautiful as ever. Her long brown hair

overflowing down to her backside while her brown eyes sparkled in the light. I

wanted to hold her and kiss her and tell her that I loved her but she wasn't

alone. I wish that I could go back in time and make her realize that she deserves

better. Someone like me, who can take care of her and provide for her. Love her

like she needs to be loved. No she chooses that jackass Leo Wyatt who last timed I

checked was always away, and didn't have a real job. She should be mine, her

children should be our children. I have to find a way to get her back with me

and the only one standing in my way is her husband, Leo. Get rid of him and

Piper will be all mine. I don't know how I am going to do it but I will make it

happen, any way possible. Just wait and see she will be mine forever.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

After dinner Leo and his wife went to bed but for some reason he couldn't really sleep. He was still focused on today's event when two of Piper's exes saw her in the same day. He began to think that maybe it was a sign that someone on a subconscious level Piper sometime regretted ever being with him. He sighed as he decided he should ask his wife how she felt and hoped that her words would ease his troubled mind.

"Piper," Leo called out to his wife hoping she wasn't asleep.

"What is it Leo, what's wrong." Piper said sleepling as she woke up and turned on the light.

"Are you still awake"

"Well I wasn't but I am now, are you okay."

"Yeah I'm fine but I was wondering if we could talk."

"About what."

"About what happened today."

"Leo I thought that you said that you weren't upset about what happened today." Piper sighed

"No I am not mad, it is not like you called them up and offered to go on a lunch date with them or anything like that, I just want to know something."

"You can ask me anything."

" Do you ever regret it" Leo sighed not even turning over to look at her.

"Regret what Leo"

"Regret ever being with me."

"Are you serious." Piper gasped.

"I mean yeah, our relationship hasn't been perfect and we have been through more than any other normal couple.

"We were never a normal couple." Piper laughed.

"I know" Leo sighed again. "Still do you think that it would have been better if you married someone else."

"Leo" Piper replied sitting up and turning her body so that her hand was on Leo shoulder. "That is just crazy. I love you with all of my heart and I wouldn't change a thing about our life. You are the best thing that ever happened to me and I am so lucky to have you."

"Really."

"Really, so please never ask me that question again or doubt the love that I have for you."

"I promise never again" Leo said as he turned over in the bed and looked Piper right in the eyes and kissed her hand. He knew that what she was saying was true, she loved him and he loved her no matter what.

"Hey Piper, care to show me how much you love me". he smirked as he started kissing her neck.

"Well if you come closer I will show you anything that you want me too" She turned out the lights and returned her husbands kisses and realized that there was no place she rather be right now.

"I would love that"

"I bet you would." Piper laughed as she threw the covers over her and Leo's head.
