108A/N: Piper's not pregnant. sorry guys.
Chapter 1
"I'll get it!" Phoebe yelled, running to the door. She opened it up, and looked down at a girl that looked to be no older than five. Her face was deeply tan, obviously from the sun. Her light golden brown hair was pulled into two French braids that ended right at her hairline in the back of her head, and her almond shaped dark grey eyes stared at Phoebe. Phoebe smiled, and bent down to the girl's height.
"Can I help you?" Phoebe asked sweetly. The girl looked around, and peaked inside the manor. Her bright green tea shirt was covered by black overalls.
"Is Leo here? It's bery imp- impor-ant." The girl replied. Phoebe shook her head no. She made complete eye contact with the girl, and it sent a small, only comforting chill down her spine. The feeling was small, so she ignored it.
"No, unfortunately he's not. Where do you live?" Phoebe asked in her baby voice. The girl shrugged and pointed to the house across the street. Phoebe nodded, and looked at the little girl again. She bit her bottom lip, and slouched her eyebrows, making a very "firm" look.
"Well, I will tell him he needs to see you. What's your name?" Phoebe asked. The girl smiled, and giggled at Phoebe's actions.
"Alexis. Actually, it's Lexi cuz that's what everybody calls me." Lexi replied. As the little girl talked on, Phoebe noticed she had a very small and slightly noticeable Brooklyn accent. Phoebe smiled and nodded.
"Okay Lexi. I'll tell Leo that it's very-" Phoebe queued, waiting for Lexi to reply.
"impor-ant." Lexi finished. Phoebe smiled and nodded. Lexi turned around to hear three boys calling her.
"Well you should probably be getting home." Phoebe said. Lexi nodded.
"You HAVE to tell him." Lexi requested. Phoebe nodded. She smiled and waved, and started for the white house across the street. Phoebe stood up, and smiled.
"Bye Lexi. I'm Phoebe if you ever need anything." Phoebe exclaimed. Lexi nodded and continued on her way.

"Leo, do you know an Alexis, but actually it's Lexi because that's what everybody calls her?" Phoebe asked in her baby voice. Leo's face brightened with a clear smile and he nodded.
"Uh yeah. Brown hair, grey eyes about three feet high?" Leo asked a higher tone in his voice. Phoebe chuckled and nodded.
"Who?" Piper asked, sitting down on the living room couch. Leo looked out the window, to see five kids playing.
"Uh, she's sort of a charge of mine. She just doesn't know it yet." Leo answered. Piper nodded.
"She stopped by here this morning. She said it was bery impor-ant." Phoebe joked. Leo smiled and nodded.
"Cute, isn't she? She lost her father about five months ago. Her and her brother's were in child services until their Aunt and Uncle moved into nicer living conditions." Leo said. Phoebe nodded. Piper tilted her head.
"Wow. She seemed pretty happy for-" Phoebe started. Leo cut her off.
"Her dad was, not home a lot. That's how she knows me so well; I looked after her since she was three, taking turns with three other sitters." Leo interrupted. Phoebe nodded. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Leo smiled.
"I wonder who that could be." Phoebe said with a smile on her face. She went to the door, and not to her surprise stood Lexi.
"Hey. Leo was just on his way." Phoebe greeted. Lexi smiled. Phoebe noticed four boys on bikes. It looked as if they were racing.
"Wanna come in?" Phoebe asked. Lexi raised an eyebrow suspiciously, and then as if she got a helping voice she nodded. Phoebe opened the door, and closed in once the little girl entered. She turned and saw Leo.
"LEO!" She cried as she ran and jumped into Leo's arms. Leo jumped and lifted her up.
"Hey, what's so important?" Leo asked. Lexi, still full of a big smiled rolled her eyes.
"I haven't seen you in, in, a really big, super, estra-estra, super long time." Piper smiled at the little girl. Leo smiled and hugged her.
"Oh, well I missed you." Leo said. Lexi nodded. She looked at Phoebe.
"Phoebe. Do you know how much that is?" Lexi asked. Phoebe smiled and shook her head. Lexi turned to Piper and asked,
"Do you know how much that is?" Piper laughed and shook her head. She looked back at Leo, who immediately answered,
"I have no clue." Lexi smiled and reached her arms out to their full length.
"This much! Times a godzillion million." Lexi answered. The three adults chuckled.
"Wow." Phoebe answered in her baby voice. Leo smiled at Lexi.
"Lexi I want you to meet someone." Leo said, sitting on the couch next to Piper. Lexi adjusted to sitting on his lap and looked at Piper.
"It's your giiiiiirrrrl friend." Lexi replied. Piper's smile grew, and she looked at Leo. Leo shook his head.
"No, she's my wife." Leo corrected. Lexi nodded. Phoebe walked closer to them.
"Lexi, this is Piper." Leo introduced. Piper smiled.
"Hey Lexi." Piper greeted. Lexi smiled, and made eye contact with Piper, who also felt a small, unique, heart warming chill down her spine. She turned to Leo and whispered something in his ear. Leo smiled again.
"Yes they are." Leo answered. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. And Phoebe once again volunteered. She went to the door, and to her surprise was a little boy not much older that Lexi, who looked like he was crying. Lexi's eyes suddenly got big as she looked at Leo.
"I have to go now." Lexi said. Her face dropped, but Piper looked at her eyes under her face.
"Lexi, sweetheart, you can come back at any time, okay? Just make sure it's okay with your aunt and uncle first." Piper exclaimed. A smile appeared on Lexi's face once again.
"Really?" The little girl asked. Piper nodded. She hugged Piper and whispered 'Thank You' In her ear. She kissed Leo on the cheek and ran to Phoebe. She turned toward the door, and saw the dark haired little boy. His light blue eyes met Lexi's.
"Aunt Morgan said to go home." He said in between sniffles. Phoebe tilted her head, and wondered what was wrong with the boy who seemed to be about nine. Lexi nodded, and turned towards Phoebe.
"Thank you." Lexi said. Phoebe nodded. Lexi gave Phoebe an unexpected hug, and left with the little boy. She was quite a bit shorter than him. As she walked away, Phoebe heard the boy say.
"You better watch out Lexi she's really mad. And you remember last time right?" Phoebe held the door open a little longer, to see Lexi turn around. She had a slight bit of worry on her face. Although when her eyes met Phoebe's, bedside's the comforting chill she got a smile. Phoebe smiled back, and then her eyes fell to the ground. A drop of blood was on the 'Welcome' mat of the manor.
