Chapter 24-Trust

"Parker, What are you doing here?" Piper asked startled.

Parker raises her eyebrows at them crossing her arms over her chest and commented, "Could ask you the same thing."

"Uhh, we were talking." Leo answered dumbly. Piper gave him a look that clearly said, 'She-is-not-5-years-old'.

"Uhuh." Parker replied suspiciously. "You have an interesting way of talking to each other."

"Sweetie, you have to let us explain." Piper replied lightly brushing Leo's hand away from her waist.

Parker raised her eyebrows seeing her dad touch her mom. "Uh, I think I'll go back upstairs so you two can carry on." she said ignoring Piper and heading quickly back upstairs.

"Parker, wait." Piper yelled after her, starting to follow.

Leo pulled her back and she turned to face him. "You've got to let her think it through herself." She nodded and he started kissing her again. He groaned and pulled away when he heard a jingle in his head. He looked deep into her disappointed chocolate brown eyes before kissing her one last time and whispering, "I'm sorry. I'll try to hurry back." she nodded and he orbed away.

Piper sighed and headed upstairs to the nursery. She stood in the doorway and watched the three people in the room.

Parker was sitting in the floor with Phoenix running her fingers through her long brown hair and you could tell she was thinking about something. Phoenix was sitting on the floor infront of her playing with a toy and Potter was sitting next to her pretending to read a book, sending a puzzled look toward Parker every once in a while. Potter finally gave up setting the book down and blowing out a breath toward the ceiling, making some of his long blonde hair blow up in the air and fall back down on his forhead. He looked toward her and grinned, yelling "Gramma!"

Parker's head quickly snapped toward the door and she breathed a heavy breath before turning back to Phoenix. Piper slowly walked toward Potter and heard Parker say, "How long?"

"What Sweetie?" Piper questioned.

"How long have you and dad been together?"

"Almost four months." Piper replied sitting down next to her with Potter.

"Oh." Parker said, after a moment she added, "I'm more trustworthy then you, you know."

"What?" Piper asked heartbroken that her daughter thought she was untrustworthy.

"I told you I was pregnant the day I found out. You wait 14 months to tell me your actual opinion about that. I told you Dillon was back the day he came and you dated dad for four months without telling me." Parker stated. Piper knew she was right and sighed as Parker looked at her in an 'I-told-you-so' sort of way.

"Sweetie, I just didn't know how you'd take it and it never seemed to be the right time to tell you." Piper said gently.

"It's never the right time mom. You just do it. Just like I did."

"Your right, I was wrong. I should have told you but there's nothing I can do about that now, you found out on your own. Me and Your dad are going to continue seeing eachother. You just need to learn to except it." Piper said softly wanting so bad to hug her daughter.

Parker looked and felt betrayed. Yeah, she always dreamt of her parents getting back together and them being a happy family again but she finally had come to the conclusion that it was never going to happen and after a while it became just a silly thought. Sort of discusting really. After seeing them apart for so long, it became harder and harder to imagine them being together at all. But now, when they had finally got to a regular routine with the twins and Leo coming to help out sometimes and the demon duties, once again everything falls apart. First, Dillon shows up and confuses Parker to no end by kissing her and wanting to be there. Then, she walks downstairs to get her homework from the kitchen and sees her parents having a hot and heavy make-out session.

Finally looking at her mom, she says honestly, "I am so confused right now, I don't know what to think of anything anymore."

Piper smiled slightly and gave her daughter a half hug and kissed her temple, "That's ok. Take as long as you need to think things through baby. Me and your dad will give you all the time in the world."

Parker nodded letting herself be hugged. "Just try not to do that stuff in public places like the kitchen. I don't want the twins exposed to that kinda stuff ok?" Parker requested refering to Piper and Leo's make-out session.

Piper laughed, "OK sweetie, I understand."

"By-bye." Phoenix said looking at her mother and grandmother with big green eyes.

Parker smiled and stood-up picking Phoenix up with her. "Ok sweetie, let's go get you some bite-bites."

Phoenix giggled and clapped her hands together. Piper smiled at them and then stood-up with Potter. "Ok, let's go."

They all four headed downstairs to the kitchen to see Leo sitting waiting for them. He gave stood-up and smiled as Piper handed him Potter. Him and Parker stood awkwardly each holding a baby as Piper made dinner. "So, did you talk to your mother?"

"Yeah." Parker said shortly playing with Phoenix and not looking at Leo.

Piper turned around and rested her hands on the counter. "Ok you two. Enough with the awkwardness. We're going to act like nothings wrong and nothing weird is going on until Parker gets her head around the idea of life with her parents actually together. Deal?"

"Deal." Leo answered immediately.

They both turned and gave Parker expectant looks who rolled her eyes and sighed,"Deal."

Piper smiled as Leo helped Parker put the twins in their highchairs and then served everybody their dinner and they sat and made conversation until they were done. Then, Parker let Leo play with the twins for a while before taking them upstairs and giving them a bath. Piper asked if her and Leo could put them to bed and Parker excepted, needing to go finish party preporations and homework. After the homework was done and the party was prepared for, Parker headed up to bed. Soon after, Piper and Leo headed upstairs to Piper's room.

------------------------------

The next day at the party, Paige, Henry, Phyre, Petra, Patty, Phoebe, Jason, Prudence, Piper, Leo, Parker, Dillon, Phoenix, Potter, and many other friends and neighbors showed up for the twins party. Everybody had fun and enjoyed seeing the twins have such a blast throwing cake at Parker and Dillon.

After the party, Parker and Dillon were sitting in the conservatory on the couch in silence. Piper and Leo took the twins upstairs to give them some time to talk.

"So, where do we go from here?" Parker asked.

"I honestly don't know. I mean, I want to see the twins and I'd like to give it another shot with you but if something happens and we break-up..." Dillon started.

"Things between us would be awkward and it'd hurt the twins." Parker finished.

"Maybe we just start off with simple stuff like trips to the park with the twins or something and see where it goes from there." Dillon reasoned.

"Yeah, that makes since." Parker agreed.

Soon after Dillon left and Parker went upstairs.

A/N: Ok, so it's come to my attention that this story is confusing and the following questions have been submitted by PiperandLeoFan101:

wait so Piper and Leo are back togehter now? He shouldn't take her back!:

Yes, Piper and Leo are back together now, He took her back because Leo could never stop loving Piper, they've proved that on the show.

I mean Parker's spent so much time hating him when Piper was the one who kicked him out. Why would she hate him? He did'nt want to leave. He even begged Piper to let him see her but seh was like i need to get used to you not being around even if that means you not seeing Parker and then he argued and lost. Now Parker hates him? or she did.:

Parker hated Leo because he could have come back but didn't. Like when Wyatt was little in the show and he'd orb in when Piper wasn't there.

She should hate Piper.:

She doesn't hate Piper because Piper has been there for her her entire life and Leo wasn't.

I hope that clears everything up for you. If you have any questions about the questions you probably need to read the oneshot prequal i wrote called 'What Once Was' and if you have any other questions about the story just PM me or REVIEW, I'd be happy to answer.

Thanks for reading,

Katie :)
