Summary: This is an A/U fic. What if the Elders never let Piper and Leo get
married? What if they forbid them from having any kind of relationship? And
they followed the rules, except that Piper still got pregnant. So what if
their daughter had the exact same story Paige had? Piper and Leo had to
give their powerful daughter away to another family...and they were never
the same...

Back to Episode 3.11 (Blinded by the Whitelighter)....
Piper stood at the bar counter, looking around for any sign of Leo. Negative thoughts raced through her mind as she mixed drinks for customers. 'What if the elders punished him? What if we can't be together anymore....'
Her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden tap on her shoulder. She jumped at the sudden touch. She whirled around to see her older sister's worried face. "Prue? What's wrong? Is Leo here?"
Prue looked down at her shoes and then back up to Piper. "Yeah, he wants to talk to you. He.....doesn't look very happy." She mumbled, laying her hand on Piper's shoulder. Piper's face fell; her hopes for good news withered away. She quickly nodded, anxious to hear the news that Leo had brought.
She put down the mixture of liquids she was about to give to the man on her right, and rushed through the crowds of people. Prue suddenly grabbed her by her shoulder and turned her around. "Look, honey. If it's bad, just know, that we're always gonna be here for you." She practically yelled, since the noise from the band and the customers combined were deafening their ears. But even from the yell, Piper could tell that Prue was definitely worried about her.
Piper gave a huge exhale, and nodded again. She paused for a moment, knowing that if things could be this bad, she didn't even want to face Leo. But she got all her strength together, and walked through the rest of the people that were blocking her boyfriend and her from seeing each other.
She finally got to their little couch in the back of the club and saw Leo talking to her younger sister, Phoebe.
"Leo." Piper muttered. He turned up to Piper with his hypnotizing blue eyes and he looked as if he were about to cry. He got up from his seat and walked over to her and kissed her on the lips. Piper could tell something was wrong but she didn't know that things couldn't get worse.
She pulled away from him and stared at him. "Leo, what did they say?" she asked, her voice breaking down into tears. He looked at her sympathetically and looked to Prue and Phoebe. Prue and Phoebe also had an anxious look that said "What the hell happened?" Leo gave a big sigh and Piper could tell that he didn't want to tell her.
"Leo, please. What happened? What did they say?"
Leo turned away and sat back down on the couch, burying his head into his arms, breaking into a sob. Piper sighed and silent tears came down her cheeks. She walked over to Leo and hugged him tightly and whispered into his ears.
"I take it that it wasn't good news."
Leo looked up at her, his tear stained face was looking at Piper. "The Elders were....mad. They said that we broke too many rules this time. We can't....." Leo couldn't finish his sentence. Prue suddenly stood up to argue.
"WHAT? Leo, we saved their fucking lives up there! We had to break the rules! It is our job to destroy evil in any way that we can!" she screamed. Phoebe nodded in agreement. Leo shrugged. "I don't know. They said that they couldn't take anymore rule breaking and they said that getting married would make it worse. They have officially forbidden it from ever taking place."
"So what? You two can get married anyway! Break the stupid rules! Who cares?" Phoebe exclaimed. Leo shook his head. "No. Now they are keeping strict surveillance over us. If we got married, they would re assign me and forbid me from ever seeing Piper again. They are thinking of reassigning me right now."
Piper finally broke down into a cry. "Leo....they can't reassign you. I can't even think of living without you." She cried, burying her face into Leo's shoulder. Leo stroked her hair and kissed her on the head. "I know baby...I know." He whispered. His tears dropped onto Piper's hair as he cried.
"Leo, take us up there. We'll argue for months if we have to! You two are going to get married! They shouldn't get in the way of your love." Prue said. But Piper looked up at Prue and shook her head.
"No. It's going to make it worse. If we actually do that, then the Elders would reassign Leo for sure, and then I don't know what I would do. And even if I did marry Leo in secret, then we would be living our lives in fear that the Elders would come and separate us anyway."
"But Leo even said that if you two got married, then they couldn't break you two up because you two would have a holy bonding."
Leo turned away. "They said that they would stop at nothing to break us apart if we got married. Even if we do have a holy bonding, it wouldn't make a difference to them anymore. They could actually condemn me to death now that we have disobeyed them over and over. It wouldn't be right. They are the Elders. They can do whatever they need to do."
Phoebe and Prue sighed, now that there was nothing that they could do. They glanced over to Piper, who was now crying even more. Piper and Leo held each other, and wished that the moment could last forever.

(Prue has died already. Paige has already come to take her place. Leo has been reassigned, but still sees Piper, breaking the rules to see her. The Elders know nothing about their meetings, but even so, Piper and Leo never got married, still living in fear on what the Elders would do to them. But then Piper turns up pregnant, and they manage to keep it a secret from the Elders, but when their daughter is born, they do the only thing they can do.....)
Piper held her newborn daughter in her arms as she lay in bed. Leo stood next to her, stroking her hair, showering her with kisses. Paige and Phoebe sit on the sides, watching their sister and their niece and their whitelighter.
"She is so beautiful." Piper said, admiring her new daughter. She broke into tears as she looked at her. She handed her to Leo and Leo took her into his arms. He sighed as he stared at the new life in front of him. "Hi. I'm your Dad....And that's your mother over there." He said, looking down at his daughter.
"I never want to let her go. I never want to let you go." He whispered. He rocked the baby back and forth, and the baby was sleeping silently, not making a cry. Leo's tears slipped down his cheeks as he watched his daughter's slumber.
"I don't either." Piper suddenly said. Leo turned around to look at her. Piper was crying, hard. She never wanted to give her daughter away, but there was no choice. The Elders would find out, and they could kill Leo. They wanted their daughter to be safe, to live a better life than what they could give her.
Phoebe and Paige walked to Piper and sat with her on her bed. They comforted her and hugged her. It barely helped though. Piper couldn't help but cry over the loss she was about to have. "We have to. The Elders will find out. We...have to." She said through her tears.
Leo nodded and looked at his daughter in his arms again.
"I'm sorry baby. I am so sorry."
****
Piper and Leo held the car seat that held their two-day-old daughter in it. They stood, in the church, in front of the nun. "Please, give her a good home." Leo whispered to the nun. The nun nodded.
Piper set the car seat down and looked at the baby inside. She took the baby out and held her. "I love you always. I love you so much." She said, clutching to the bundle tight, kissing the baby on the head. She cried as she rocked back and forth. The baby's eyes were open, looking at her mother.
Leo took her into his arms and smiled at her. "Hey baby.." he whispered to his daughter. He didn't want to let go. Piper didn't want to let go. But it was the only way. The baby looked up at her father. Leo could hear the Elders calling him, but ignored it. He needed this moment, this one last moment with her.
Phoebe took the baby into her arms and Paige stood behind her. "We have to say goodbye to you so fast I'm going to miss being an aunt." She whispered. "Yeah, me too." Paige said. Phoebe handed the baby back to Piper.
"I love you. I will always love you." She said, as she put the baby back into the car seat. Leo kneeled down to look at the car seat one last time. "I'll see you again. I promise." He whispered and then stood up. He handed the car seat the nurse and the baby started crying. It was as if she knew that she would be leaving her parents.
Piper wanted to go and hold the baby so it would stop crying but Leo held her back. Piper started crying and turned away to cry on Leo shoulder. Leo held Piper tight and shut his eyes so that he wouldn't cry. It didn't work. Piper and Leo gathered up the strength to walk out of the church in silence.
Piper wanted to look back and see her daughter being carried away by the nun, but realized that if she did, she would never be able to let go.
