Piper was sitting outside, enjoying quiet Sunday. Since it had been raining off and on, she stayed up on the porch. Matthew was asleep in his babyseat, unaware of the rain.

There wasn't much to complain about at the moment.

[open, I suppose]

After saying goodbye to Paige, Piper returned home to Matthew and thanked his aunt Veronica for taking such good care of him.

Maybe later, she would start taking pictures of him to send to Paige.

As Piper sat outside on the front steps, she was eying one of the houses across the street. She had been thinking about getting her own place. She was going to need that extra room after all, especially now that the adoption was close to being finalized ( Read more... )

Piper had been doing a lot of thinking over the last few days. A lot. All that thinking had led her to a decision, and she was ready to talk to Meg and Sam about that. So she invited them over to the house.

Now, she just waited. Nervously.

[for the two mentioned in the post]

Piper had gotten a handwavey phone call from Meg last night asking if she could come over for some girl talk. She was a little surprised by that, but she did tell Meg awhile ago that she was welcome here anytime if she needed to talk. That offer was still very much valid. So she made some tea, decaf, of course, and waited for her guest to arrive.

Today was Piper's birthday, and she meant it when she said she wasn't going to make a big deal out of it. But it was her day, so she wasn't going to do any work today. No looking over paperwork for the restaurant, no cooking, no cleaning. She was just going to relax and try very hard not to think about anything distressing ( Read more... )

Piper was sitting on the couch with her laptop, a cup of tea sitting on the table nearby. A certain wedding was coming up soon and she had been given the task of baking the cake. She still had some time to get this done, but she figured it couldn't hurt to google some wedding cakes for some ideas. It wasn't too early for that. Also, there was the ( Read more... )

Piper made sure to unlock the storage closet a few hours after trapping Isabel and Wyatt last night. She didn't know for sure if they had worked things out or not. They were asleep at the time and she didn't want to wake them. She also didn't want to deal with their wrath. If they were angry with her, they probably had a right to be. She'd find out ( Read more... )

Piper had spent most of yesterday hidden away in her room after her doctor's appointment. It was just a consultation in which the doctor asked her many questions, including a few personal ones. Now, she was sitting on her bed with her laptop, researching more about her supposed condition.

( cut for more expository medical stuff and woe )

Piper sat on the front steps of the house, sipping on a cup of tea. She hadn't been feeling well the last few days. She'd had the same stomach discomfort she had a few weeks ago, only it seemed a little worse this time. There was also the exhaustion she'd been feeling. She didn't even quite enjoy Thanksgiving because of it. At least she had much ( Read more... )
