Piper sat in a white wicker chair staring off into space. The gentle stream of sunlight hit her hair and made it appear to be hazel. The birds that sang outside were the only reminder of the happiness that once filled the house. For now it grew quiet and dark. It no longer held the same emotions.

It was a sunny San Francisco morning and like every day Piper sent her kids and husband off to school. Leo had, three months ago, clipped his wings and begun working as a science teacher in the local high school. Although sometimes weird and eerie their two teenage daughters had calmly excepted the fact that their dad now worked at their school.

"Melinda! Fae! Hurry up Dad's leaving in 3 minutes and if you don't come fast you'll have to take the bus!" Piper yelled from the kitchen

Footsteps were heard and soon Melinda, 15 and Fae, 14 came bounding into the kitchen. Being that they were in such a hurry they quickly grabbed a bagel and ran out the door.

"I love.you." Piper tried to say as they dashed in and then dashed back out.

The rest of the day went fairly normal. Piper went to P3 and that's where she was when she found out.

Her assistant came from the back room, phone in hand.

"Piper, telephone!" he yelled

Piper picked up the phone and was startled when she heard a lot of commotion in the background.

"Hello?" she said, speaking into the phone

"Hello. Is this Mrs. Halliwell?"

"Yes." Piper asked, worried.

"Mrs. Halliwell, there's been an accident, your husband and two daughters were killed."
