"Yeah, so my daughter has been telling me. Um, no, actually I'm not. Anya's mother died ten years ago, in a...car accident, when Anya was two months old...." He said rather softly, he could tell that she was looking away from his eyes. "You know, Piper we have known eachother a long time...remember? It's not like I'm new around here, you don't have to look down like that...I'm not going to hurt you." He said even more softly.

"I'm sorry," she said, sincerely. She had almost lost Leo to a car accident, but they had gotten around it as always. She brushed back her hair, as the wind once again blew it in her face. "We were dating then," she pointed out.

Anya could tell just by listening to her father that he had once cared for Piper. She continued to watch them as she tried to figure out what had happened to break the two of them up. Anya really missed her mother and tried to keep her self busy so she wouldn't think too much about life without a mother.

"It's okay, I mean it's never going to be okay that she's gone, but...life does move on. Anyway, after you and I....yeah we did date. It was the best time of my life too, well prior to having Anya that is." He said softly as he continued to explain. "Well the last time that you and I saw eachother, it didn't go well at all. After that, I moved to Portland, Oregon...and it was there that I met Anya's mother Regina...and it took me a while to even consider dating again, but she finally convinced me that not all women are going to dump you for another guy." He said, that was the truth, Piper had dumped him for Leo...and that thought rarely made him happy, he hated Leo, despised him with every fiber of his being. He couldn't help but not trust Leo.

"I'd think the best time of your life would be with your wife," she said, her voice slightly stiff. She felt awkward when Dan said he'd had trouble dating again. She could tell just from his voice that he hated Leo now. Piper couldn't help that though...Leo was simply her soul mate. She had broken up with him before but in the end they always ended up getting together again.

Anya looked up at the lady with a smile "hey I'm your niece Melody's friend." Anya said with a smile as she lookeed at her dad then back at Piper.

He sighed as he looked at Piper. "She gave me alot more than just Anya though and I will always love her for that. Regina was someone that I, trusted, and that's saying something since alot of the time, when I've dated people, they seemed to be hiding something from me, and I can usually tell that right off, though I sometimes have trouble seeing what it is they're trying to hide. There's alot of things in my life that I would simply do over, but the two things in my life that I wouldn't, would be meeting you, and meeting Regina and having Anya with her. I don't regret meeting Regina for the world, she was beautiful, smart, great at just about everything that she did, she was loving and just about...well everything a guy could hope for, plus, she was an excellent cook. She was the greatest mother I think I've ever seen, she did wonders with Anya before she died. For the first two months, before she died, Anya seemed to enjoy spending time with her, and she would only be quiet if she was in her mother's arms. He smiled as he told Piper this, true, he did love Regina and didn't regret ever being with her, or having Anya with her, yet he always felt something in his heart for Piper and that never had gone away, no matter how hard he had tried to ignore it. It just didn't always work out that way.

Piper studied Dan's face. Was that what he came to talk to her for? Maybe try to make her feel jealous by describing Piper in another woman? She wouldn't have even noticed it if he hadn't said that Regina had been a good cook. She didn't mind though- why would she be jealous? Her life was chaos, of-course, because she was a witch. Leo helped hold it all together for her though, and that was one of the million reasons she loved him.
Piper wasn't one to hold in what she was thinking- she never had been. "Why are you here?" she asked suddenly, when he was finished talking.

Anya looked at Piper then at her dad. She was wondering the same thing. She loved it in Oregon but they ended up moving to San Fransisco and by the looks of it they were staying in the house right next door to his ex girlfriend which she found really interesting.

He took a breath and sighed a bit. He looked from Anya to Piper. "I didn't have much of a choice, despite how much I know Anya loved it back in Oregon, I couldn't stay there anymore. Besides, I got transferred back here, with the same company I was working with, when you and I were still going out Piper....I moved up there orginally because I was transferred there, and out of all the places in the world I end up coming back to the one place that holds the most interesting....places and people." He said softly as he's looking directly at Piper, he knew that there was something she wasn't telling him, just like he knew Anya wasn't telling him something anyway. He didn't know what it was, but he was going to find out. "Besides, down here I'm closer to what little family I have left. I don't plan on just walking away from them."

As she listened to her father talk Anya realized how much her father had loved Piper. She had just recently found out she was a with and was going to get the Halliwells to help her learn to control her powers. She knew they were witches because of Melody and Melody had mentioned they would help her with her powers. She just had to wait until her dad wasn't around because she didn't plan to tell him about his powers because she knew he wouldn't understand.

Piper was confused. "How could you get transferred to Oregon and back again?" she asked. It just didn't make sense to her that a company would do that. "And why this house?" All it would cause was trouble.

"Don't ask me, after all, I haven't been back to San Francisco since I moved away, but that was almost twenty years ago. I don't know why they transferred me back here, but as for the house, I always did love that house, since it is the same house I used to live in, and it was for sale so, I took the oppertunity and repurchased it. I didn't even know if your family would still be here in San Francisco or not, when I bought the house. It's not like I did it myself, Piper. I mean I liked living in San Francisco, and I wouldn't have left if my company hadn't transfered me. When I was here the first time around, even with all the strange people, and all the strange occurances that seemed to have happened every day..but I got used to most of it. Even though I still can sense that there's something that you and my daughter aren't telling me, and I'm usually right about that." He said rather casually, he knew that there was something they weren't telling him and he was pretty sure he was beginning to figure it out. After all his brother in law did work for the state department.

Anya looked up at her father with a confused look on her face "what do you mean I'm hiding something from you she asked in an innocent voice hoping her father would never figure out her secret she was keeping from him.

"Me?" said Piper, taken aback. Her daughter she'd understand. She on the other hand hadn't seen Dan for years, and hadn't even known he was back. What could she be hiding from him?
