Chapter 1: Back To Basics

Parker Halliwell ran his hands through his dark hair he was tired and what was worse he felt like shit. He had pretty much given up on going back to his apartment Prue and Andy were there enjoying the newlywed life he just couldn't stand it. Paige and Piper were being cool and letting him crash at their houses he still wasn't too sure that Prue liked having him around.

Parker had on a brown work jacket and jeans yet he was still freezing a sure sign he was getting sick. He consulted his watch he was waiting out in back of Club Inferno Kyle was supposed to pick him up after he got off and as usual he was late ten minutes late to be exact. Parker could have gone back inside where it was warm but his boss was an ass who would make him work some more he seriously had to think about finding a new job sometime soon.

"Kyle Brody I'm freezing my ass off out here I wish you would hurry up." he called out to the closest thing he had to an older brother. But the whitelighter appeared to be ignoring him.

Parker sighed he had other options he could always call Hank or Chris he was the closest to them he wasn't too sure how the other Halliwell cousins felt about him. He got the feeling that Wyatt didn't like him at all. He was also thinking about calling Jake who would not be happy about coming but he would do it. In the end he decided he would wait for Kyle if worse came to worse he would call Paige.

His brown eyes scanned the dark alley he was standing in he was just asking for trouble hanging out back there but he couldn't explain Kyle's presence any other way. He wished like hell that he would hurry so he could crawl into bed he had to get up early that morning Piper was still making him go to magic school and he still wasn't happy about it.

He let out a cough from deep in his chest that brought tears to his eyes "This is just great I can't afford to call off because I'm sick I'll get my ass fired this time for sure." he said leaning against the wall and closing his eyes.

He was about to give up on Kyle and call for his sister when he felt someone put a hand over his mouth from behind the next thing he knew his world went black. He fell to the ground with a thud.

"Did you guys have to hit him so hard it hurt me to watch it." Kyle said stepping out from the shadows he was addressing the two young men with him.

"Relax Brody he didn't feel anything that wasn't meant to hurt him it was meant to knock him out so we could hit him with the other stuff." Lincoln Halliwell informed the older man pulling another pouch out of his jacket pocket.

"Tell me again why we're doing this ?" Kyle asked he felt horrible for tricking the man he thought of as his little brother but it was for a good cause.

"The elders thought they owed it to the family since it was their fault he didn't get to grow up with his sisters. Trust me Kyle we never would have agreed to it if we thought it would hurt him." Mitchell Halliwell rolled his eyes and blew some dust from the pouch on his sleeping uncle.

"Now how does this work ?" Kyle was still not sold on the idea so he had more than a few questions.

Linc ran his hand over his face Kyle was trying what little patience he did have and that wasn't much considering Piper Halliwell was his mother. "It will turn him into a newborn again it will wear off at the end of the week but it should help the sisters form a stronger bond with him." what he left out was he and Mitch were working with the elders to stop something bad from happening and this was a distraction.

The three men looked down to see that Parker had been transformed into the newborn he had once been he had a head full of dark hair and a button nose it was no wonder he had grown up to look like a heart breaker. He let out a small cry and the three looked at each other to see who was going to pick him up.

"Don't look at me I'm horrible with kids they hate me." Linc said throwing his hands up in the air.

Mitch didn't want to do it either it was weird for him "Brody you helped raise him when he was a baby you get him." he said it made sense he was the one who could stop his crying.

"Fine you're both big babies." Kyle commented bending down and scooping Parker into his arms careful to support his head. "Hey there Park what's the matter big guy ? I bet you just want to be held and feel safe. There you go that's a boy." he was talking in a baby voice and rocking him back and forth.

"Get him to Aunt Piper and tell her that the elders did this to make it up to them but don't go into more detail than that she will be suspicious as hell." Mitch instructed they still had to come clean about their real names and make sure they got conceived.

"And remember we had nothing to do with this we put all the stuff he'll need in the back of your car." Lincoln rehashed for the third time.

Kyle rolled his eyes he couldn't believe he was taking orders from two men who hadn't even been born yet. " I know how to handle him don't worry about it just get out of here. Come on Parker lets get you out of this cold before you get sick." he was using his baby voice again and the little boy in his arms smiled up at him.


Piper Halliwell was sitting at her kitchen table just hanging out with her sisters it was only ten on a Friday night and they had nothing better to do their husbands were in the other room watching the football game on tv.

"This is normal I like it." Paige said sighing and leaning back into her chair she had a pretty rough day between her charges and work.

A smirk appeared on Piper's face "Watch it Missy Paige that's my line." she joked sipping out of the coffee mug in front of her.

"I still say who wants to be normal when you can be special like us and everything has worked out for the best." Phoebe said running her hand through her hair just thinking about all the things they had gone through over the years.

Prue shook her head at her little sisters "I don't think we have to worry about normal not many people can say that they have a little brother younger than some of their children that their mother hid from them. Or that they died became a whitelighter and married their high school flame who also happens to be a whitelighter. "

"Prue what is it about Parker that drives you so crazy he is a good boy ?" Piper asked all she needed was her youngest and oldest siblings fighting.

"There in lies the problem he is a grown man and he still acts like a little boy." Prue answered sighing she really tried hard to like the kid but he made it hard sometimes. "Like today at school he used his powers to rearrange my grade book he thought it was funny."

"Prue this can't be easy on him either just cut him a little bit of slack he is trying hard he isn't used to be around a bunch of women. And Andy is crazy about him he loves him like he is his own son." Paige explained she knew what he was going through she had been there about twenty-six years before.

"I know and that should be enough for me. Andy really does love that boy you should see the apartment there is a whole shrine to Parker in the living room. I mean it I 'm not joking one whole wall is filled with his pictures and trophies turns out he was an amazing football player. There is just so much we don't know about him and I kinda feel bad." Prue admitted she wanted to be close to him she just didn't know how she didn't love easily.

"Face it Prue he is kinda cocky sometimes and he reminds you of dad and that pisses you off. I know how you're mind works I lived with you you're whole life." Phoebe threw out to her sister who nodded in agreement that she was right.

Their conversation was interrupted by a knock on the side door it was Kyle it failed to register right away what he was carrying in his arms.

"Hey Kyle come on in the guys are in the other room if you want to go in there." Piper greeted him.

"I'm here to see you four." Kyle answered simply Andy was going to kill him if he found out he had agreed to this.

"Kyle where in the hell did you get the baby?" Paige asked being the first one to notice the baby in his arms.

"That's what I needed to talk to you guys about this is Parker. The elders thought it might help you bond with him better so they turned him into a newborn again. I didn't know about it until after they did it." Kyle was scratching his head with his free hand.

Piper, Prue, and Paige looked bewildered at the news but a huge smile spread across Phoebe's face. "No wonder he grew up to be such a heart breaker look at how handsome he is." she said taking him from Kyle and placing him on her shoulder.

"This is just great Paige you are no longer allowed to speak every time you do something like this happens." Piper said to her youngest sister pointedly.

"Guys get in here now we have a problem." Prue called out to their husbands. The four men came rushing into the room they all checked to make sure there were no demons and they breathed freer when they saw there wasn't.

"Kyle where is Park you were supposed to get him from work ?" Andy asked worried about the boy about fifteen minutes before he had felt something off about him.

"The elders in all their wisdom decided they owed it to the family and turned him into an infant again so we could bond." Paige said summing it up very nicely.

Henry walked to Phoebe and took Parker from her "Hi big boy I bet you want to come in the other room with me and let your sisters and the other guys sort this out huh." he was using his baby talk voice he had been all kids' favorite uncle. Parker smiled up at him showing his little dimples.

"Oh no you don't you let me see him first before you take him out of here Henry Mitchell." Piper said to her brother-in-law Henry place him in his sister's arms.

"Just looking at him makes me want to beat up any girl who even talks to him." Paige said she was still pretty new to the big sister thing but he had taken to her the most he told her things he didn't tell Piper.

"And then we all wonder why the boys do horrible things to every date the girls get." Coop commented dryly.

"Kyle how long is he going to be like that ?" Prue asked more concerned with demons attacking him than anything else.

"A week or so." Kyle answered.

"A better question is who is telling dad ?" Phoebe asked that was not a conversation she wanted to have.

As if he knew his presence was needed Hank orbed into the room "Whose the baby Aunt Piper ?" he asked not really wanting to know.

"Parker another brilliant idea on the part of the elders." Paige answered her son.

"Henry go get your grandpa and tell him what is going on he won't flip out a you." Leo ordered they had all been thinking the same thing. Hank saluted before orbing out.

Parker let out a little cry that sounded more like a whine and Piper tried her best to soothe him. "Brody please tell me you got him some formula that was his hungry cry if I remember right." Andy asked his friend.

Kyle held up a diaper bag and flashed it at him "Everything he needs is right here." he dug out the formula and began expertly mixing up several bottles.

"Here Piper I'll take him." Andy said taking the boy from her he rocked him back and forth for a moment to quiet him. Parker fell silent almost instantly.

Prue shot her sisters a see what I mean look. "Andy you're pretty good with him." she said off hand.

Andy chuckled "Somebody had to be he used to scream his little head off every time Kyle touched him. Here Prue you take him for a minute." he handed his wife her little brother.

Prue took him and bounced him in her arms she couldn't get over how tiny he was. Henry came orbing back with Victor just few seconds later.

Victor's eyes went straight to his oldest daughter "And here I thought Henry Victor was being a smart ass again I'm sorry Bubba but you've gotta understand I'm going on your past behavior." he ruffled the hair on his grandson's head.

"Victor you know better than to think something like that about my son he would never ever be a smart ass." Big Henry said smiling sweetly at his son who flipped him off.

" As much as I would love to stay here and listen to dad and grandpa insult me I actually have a date I'll see you later." Hank said orbing off with a wave he had to go meet Bianca.

Roman stirred in his bed he rolled over and his arm hit something soft and warm he felt a brief moment of terror. That was until he forced his eyes open and saw the sleeping form of his girlfriend he rolled over and checked the clock it read 11:15 p.m. They must have fallen asleep in each other's arms after they had sex.

He very gently trailed a line of kisses up the back to her neck until he finally reached her lips. "Mel baby come on and wake up sweety." he said nudging her gently to wake her.

"I just want to lay here sweety I'm tired." Mel whined pushing him back down so she could lay her head on his chest.

"I know you are but we have to eat sometimes besides I have to get you home before two. Your mom will kill me if I don't stop keeping you out so late." Roman replied looking around for the pair of boxers he had just taken off.

"Come over and stay the night then you know mom doesn't care. And she only said I couldn't stay out til two on a school night if you'll recall." Mel reminded him laying on her stomach watching him try to find his clothes.

"Mel where the hell are my pants ?" he asked he had found his boxers and he was now searching for his jeans.

Mel chuckled "Those would probably be in the living room with my shirt or in the hallway along with my pants and my bra." she answered getting out bed grabbing the first shirt of his she could find. She found her underwear on his night stand she had no clue how those got there.

"We got pretty carried away I'm glad that Liz and Lilly weren't home other wise they would have been over here yelling at us again." He picked her up off her feet and kissed her.

"Watch yourself that's why you can't find your pants right now not that I would mind doing it again." she wiggled her eyebrows at him.

He carried her to the couch and sat her on it. "I would love to do it with you again but I'm starving for some unknown reason I can't imagine it had anything to do with you seducing me out here earlier."

Mel pulled him down on top of her and brought his faces inches from hers "I think you have that the other way around and I didn't hear you complaining." she said kissing him they didn't just stop there they were not capable of any self control it turned into a full blown make out session.

"Damn it there some things no matter how hard you try you just can't unsee." Ricky yelled in disgust causing them to pull away from each other both were blushing furiously.

Roman looked up at his little brother with a scowl on his face. "Maybe if you called before you projected your ass in here you wouldn't have that problem." he suggested pointedly finding his pants on the back of the couch and sliding into them.

Ricky returned his brothers glare and informed him "I'll have you know that I didn't project over here I orbed thank you very much."

Mel and Roman had failed to notice Patty was in the room with them. " Fuck Halliwell do you ever let that boy breath ?" she asked her cousin her hands on her hips.

Mel flipped her off "I'll have you know that was his fault he came onto me." she said with a fake grin. Ricky stuck his fingers in his ears and began humming. "Charlie he wouldn't act like that if you actually ever game him some."

"Shut up Mel you're not funny. Mom found it necessary to sit us both down and give us the talk. She said if she became a grandmother by us before her time she would kill us both." Patty said shaking her head.

Roman was on a hunt for his shirt "Mel where is my shirt ? And why the hell are you two here ?" he asked a puzzled look on his face.

"I have your shirt on go get a new one I have a feeling we're both going to have to put clothes on when we find out what these two are doing here." Mel said pointing to the shirt she had on.

Ricky had walked to the kitchen and he was raiding his cabinets looking for food finally he settled on making himself a ham sandwich. "Aunt Piper sent us she wouldn't even let me get something to eat first." he complained.

Roman came back into the room wearing a white t-shirt. "All the food I have in this house and you're eating ham." he said in disbelief.

"There is some sort of huge emergency at the manor that isn't demon related but Aunt Piper wants us all there. And she said to tell you two to get there with clothes on and Melinda Paige that means you better show up wearing the clothes you left the house in. Not my words that's what you're mother said." Patty explained throwing her hands up in the air.

"Alright I got it my mother has spoken I'm getting dressed then we can go." Mel said walking back to the bedroom picking up her clothes as she went.

Liz and Wyatt were laying on the couch in the Halliwell cousin's apartment her feet rested in her lap and he was rubbing them. Troy sat in the arm chair closest to the door and thus farthest away from his sister and Wyatt their cuteness was playing hell on his empathy.

"What the hell are we sitting around this apartment for ? We should be out doing something while we can we never know when another demon attack is going to come up." Troy complained what he said made logical sense but he whined about as much as Prue did.

"Troy we're waiting on Chris to get off of work then we're going to go out for a couple of hours the bars don't close early stupid." Liz shot at her brother who stuck his tongue out in retaliation.

"Not only that but we have to wait on Prue, Jake, Chuck, and Lilly to get back here and then someone has to call Roman and wrench him away from my sister so he can come." Wyatt explained moving Liz's feet off his lap. He was already dressed to go out his short blond hair was spiked and he was wearing a gray dress shirt that was a size too small in a vain attempted to show off his muscles. He similarly had somehow forced himself into a pair of jeans that were too small. He set off his outfit with a pair of tennis shoes.

"Wyatt come on you know you have to ask Parker I know you don't trust him but I like him. And I just talked to B her and Hank will be here any minute." Liz was also already dressed she was wearing a green long sleeve shirt that showed off her figure. She had on a pair of jeans that rivaled Wyatt's in tightness and she had chosen to wear heels that was the reason Wyatt had been rubbing her feet. Her golden blond hair laid in curls stopping at her shoulders.

Troy stood up and walked to the kitchen "You two in a competition who can wear the tightest jeans ? Lizzie I think you should change I don't want men looking at my baby sister like that." he said digging in the refrigerator for a beer. The Halliwell cousins didn't always have a lot of food in the house but there was always a never ending supply of alcohol.

"Hey I'll have you know I'm trying to end my dateless streak tonight these are my lucky jeans." Wyatt protested he was in horrible need of a date he hadn't had one in months.

Liz looked her brother up and down Troy was wearing a yellow baseball cap a form fitting black shirt and a pair of jeans. "First of all you get to talk about the way nobody is dressed with the way you look. And second of all I'm a big girl now Troy Timothy I can dress however I want to." she told him putting her shoes back on she hated to sound like Prue but her feet really did hurt.

"Hey now you two there will be no fighting otherwise I will not be held accountable for my actions." Bianca said as she and Henry orbed into the apartment

"I would listen to her she means it she had a rough day at magic school she is pissed." Henry warned making a face so that she couldn't see him.

A smile came to Liz's face "And what have you two been up to ?" she asked both looked like they had redressed hurriedly. Henry had missed a couple buttons on his shirt and Bianca's hair looked like she had just redone it.

"We had dinner which was edible considering who cooked it." Bianca teased Hank who was by now sitting on the kitchen counter working on buttoning his shirt up right.

"B please tell me that you didn't cook that is almost as bad as if Aunt Paige cooked something." Wyatt begged he had no room to talk he was banned from even making toast in his mom's kitchen and that was what Chris and the others limited him to in the apartment.

Henry let his booming laugh fill the apartment "That was funny Wy hell no she didn't cook I did and you have no room to talk or I will revoke your toast making privileges." he warned jumping down from the counter his cowboys boots clicking when he made contact with the floor.

"Damn Wy I can't believe you take that from him if I remember correctly he once had to go to the hospital because he burned his hand boiling water." Troy interjected raising his beer.

Hank flipped Troy off and he returned the favor. "Tell me someone already called Roman and the Halliwell siblings are on the way here with their dates." Bianca said at least they wouldn't have to wait for them to redress they had been helping Piper out by bartending.

"See we were going to let you or Hank call Roman because I'm not afraid to admit it Mel scares the hell out of all of us. She seems to like you both better." Wyatt explained.

The door to the apartment opened Chris came in followed by Prue, Chuck, Jake, and Lilly. "Finally you guys get here I was starting to think we were going to have to go to P3 and drag your asses out of there." Liz said her patience or lack there of was obvious.

Before anyone could answer that statement Val hearted into the apartment. "I don't know what the hell you guys are doing but you have to get to the manor like now because Aunt Piper is in a mood over something I'm not sure I want to know either it's not demonic though so I don't know what anyone has done." she explained talking fast she didn't want to be late to the meeting Piper had called.

A collective groan filled the room but they knew better than to voice any complaints they would just do as Piper said and try to get out of there as quickly as possible.


"Where the hell are those kids I know they've had time enough to get their asses over here." Piper ranted rather loudly as she paced the kitchen.

"It wouldn't have taken so long if someone not naming any names wouldn't have sent orders that I had to come home in the clothes I wore out." Mel said orbing into the room with Patty, Roman, and Ricky.

"Aunt Piper please don't mind her she has been crabby all night," Roman said taking at seat at the kitchen table while Mel glared at him. " what is the dire emergency ?" he asked everything seemed fine to him.

"Henry Mitchell get your ass in here." Paige called to her husband who came in a second later holding Parker in his arms.

"I wish you wouldn't yell like that Paige I just got him to stop crying." Henry complained he had gotten stuck with baby duty after they had Kyle orb Victor back home and Kyle had very wisely chosen not to come back. He had a bottle in his left hand and Parker cradled in his right arm.

"I'll ask where the hell did that come from ?" Ricky asked not wanting to know with the shit that went on in that family.

"That's Parker the elders thought it would help us bond if they turned him into a baby again." Phoebe answered rolling her eyes.

"That would also be an effect of what we talked about earlier Patricia and Derek I was dead serious about that too." Paige warned she didn't want her kids having kids before their time.

"Mom if I were you I would have that talk with Carly and Jason because the last time I checked I'm not the one skipping school so I can have sex with my boyfriend." Patty said sitting up on the counter.

"I'm begging you all keep your voices down this kid is a ticking time bomb he will start screaming his head off." Henry pleaded with his wife and daughter mostly.

"Here Uncle Henry let me see him." Mel said putting her arms out taking the baby and settling him in her left arm. "Parker was such a cute baby no wonder women can't keep there eyes off of him when we're out some where."

"Don't remind me Mel I thought Val was going to beat Sophie Reynolds up when he came and had lunch with us the other day." Ricky said shaking his head.

"I'm not even going to ask," Prue said not wanting to know " where the hell are the oldest five and Carly ? Everyone else is accounted for." she was growing impatient.

"Wyatt and Christopher you two better get your assses here now and your cousins better be with you." Piper yelled out at the ceiling and seconds later several showers of orbs and shimmers appeared.

Troy took a look around and he saw Mel holding a baby "I swear to God that is not my kid no matter what anyone told you." he said throwing his hands up in innocence.

"You're right he's not yours that is Parker the elders thought it would help us bond with him if they turned him into a baby." Henry explained he just wanted to go back in the other room.

"This is just great I can't believe the elders did this out of the kindness of their hearts." Jake commented staying as far away from Parker as possible he didn't do kids.

Hank looked around for his other sister but he couldn't find her "Mom where is Leigh ?" he asked he didn't trust his sister being out alone.

"That is a good question," Paige answered and then she called out "Carly Janice Halliwell if you don't get here right now you're grounded."

Carly orbed in a second later just as Parker started crying again. It was obvious what she had been doing her hair was messed up and she was wearing Jason's dress shirt and athletic shorts. She looked at Parker "I know this one has to be good." she commented ignoring the look she was getting from her big brother.

"That baby is Parker and he is going to stay like that for a week so we can bond with him." Phoebe gave her niece a brief rundown.

"The reason we called you all here is hee is going to have to stay with someone magical in case of demon attacks while we're at work. We'll let you guys decide who gets first watch tomorrow." Piper explained reasonably it had yet to be decided who he was spending the night with.

"I'll take him all next week during the day I don't have work the damn doctors still won't clear me." Hank volunteered he would get stuck with the job whether he wanted it or not he might as well just take it.

"He can stay with me tomorrow afternoon I don't have anything better to do." Wyatt offered they were all visibly nervous about that Wyatt could barely be trusted to take care of himself.

"Who the hell is that kid staying all night with ? I have to be up early in the morning I have to cheer at the football game at nine I can't have him screaming his head off all night." Carly asked she needed her sleep.

"He can stay at the apartment he'll sleep on the couch with Troy he could use the company." Liz volunteered she didn't mind he was like family to her.

"Liz you don't have to do that he can stay here." Piper said sweetly she wished her son would wise up and do right by that girl.

"No it's fine Aunt Piper he can stay with us we don't mind." Lilly replied of course she didn't mind she spent half her time at Phoebe's house with Jake.

"And then he can stay all night with me tomorrow night. I wouldn't mind having him around he is so damn cute." Prue said and she listened to her cousins groan.

"Prue no absolutely not you have that look in your eyes and I'm so not ready to be a dad I'm warning you woman." Chuck said putting his hands out in front of him.

"Now that we have settled that can we all please go now ? I have to be up early too someone has to play quarterback in the morning and I can't do that half asleep and I really don't want to hear Billy bitch at me if I over throw him." Ricky begged.

"Yes you guys can go now if anyone sees Penny or Em send their asses home they have to get up too." Phoebe ordered.

"Aunt Piper I'll be back for him later for him latter we're going out for a little bit." Liz said before she grabbed onto Wyatt so he could orb them.

"Alright I'll see you then." Piper said letting the matter go.


Roman sat at the desk set up in his make shift office that he had in the spare bedroom of his apartment. He had chosen to come back home instead of spend the night with Mel he had important things to deal with. No matter how hard he tried he couldn't get the dreams he was having to stop it was like he was on the verge of remembering what happened to him but he wasn't quite there yet.

All he had to go on was that he could see figures he didn't know who they were. He knew about the Phoenix and they had told him about the hooded demon named Ben but that was all he knew. He had a book about the cobra clan he had borrowed from magic school and he had read that a hundred times over it still didn't tell him anything.

"Come on just let it go Ro this isn't helping anymore you can't find anything out anyway." he said to himself. There really was nothing in that book he didn't know he didn't know what he hoped to find by looking at it over and over. If only he could remember what happened in that freezer he would be able to work from there. The future boys weren't much help because they just said they found him in the underworld.

Every time he closed his eyes he could see images of what happened to him but he never got anything to come in clear it was all fuzzy like he had been drugged or something. He couldn't stand to be alone at night because he work up in cold sweats screaming.

He looked down at the book in front of him before he used his powers to cast it aside it wasn't helping him anyway.

Then he had an idea if magic got him in this mess than magic could get him out of it. He would write a spell to regain his memories the only problem with that was he sucked at spells it didn't matter he could always get Hank to help him he was a whiz with spells and he wouldn't rat him out. The thing was would he be able to keep what he was doing from Mel ? She was worried about him and he loved her for it hell he thought he was in love with her period but he had to know what happened. He wouldn't be able to move on with his life until he did.

He stood up from his desk and sighed he couldn't think when he was tired like he was right now. Maybe something would come to him in his sleep he was seriously regretting not staying with Mel. He grabbed his pillow off his bed , got his cell phone, and the keys to his apartment. He walked out the door and locked it behind him.

"Come on Ro you can do this you don't have to be embarrassed the girls understand this." he said before he knocked on the door to his sister's apartment.

Surprising him Lilly answered the door he hadn't thought she would be home. "Hey Ro I see you're staying the night again." she opened the door wider so he could come in.

"Yep I couldn't sleep over there all alone Lilly I hope you and Liz don't mind." he replies stepping in the door.

"Hell no we don't mind Ro but if you don't stop banging around here and make Parker start crying again I will personally make you sorry." Liz threatened in a hushed voice she was sitting on the couch feeding him a bottle. Wyatt was next to her with his arm around her and Troy was laying on the floor.

"I would suggest that you don't hand him to Wyatt again that's what made him cry in the first place." Troy said and Liz kicked him in the ribs.

"Lizzie you never used to be violent I miss the gentle side of you." Roman mocked her sitting down on the love seat.

"Roman you know why you can't call me Lizzie anymore and her name is Monica Palmer." Liz shot at him she was over it really she had moved on she just liked watching him squirm when she mentioned it.

"I know and thank you for telling Mel she was back in town I have been suitably threatened." came his reply .

"You brought that one on yourself Ro I never got what you saw in her." Lilly said to her brother.

Wyatt sensed the need to change the subject he didn't want those two getting into it. "I thought babies slept a lot all he does is cry." he mused.

"Wyatt you were holding him like you would a sack of potatoes I would have cried too the poor kid. Parker tell Wy that he has to be gentle with you because you're tiny." Liz said talking in a baby voice to him he smiled at her making his brown eyes sparkle.

"He is so sweet I can't believe his last girlfriend let him go." Liz said smiling back at him.

"You would know this how Liz ? This is you though I wouldn't be shocked if you were in his head." Ro asked he didn't put anything past his friend when she wanted to know something.

"I did not he told me I was bored one night and he came over here certain people I know spend all their time with their boyfriends and girlfriends and my darling brother was on the prowl so I was all alone." Liz answered. Wyatt felt a twinge of jealousy he didn't want any other man spending time alone with her he even got mad when her and Chris talked about things without telling him.

Lilly looked at her two friends and rolled her eyes "They are killing me they are so blind." She sent to Troy and Roman who nodded in agreement. "Liz I think you have to burp him now if you don't he will get a stomach ache and none of us will sleep." she said to her friend.

Liz took the bottle out of Parker's mouth " Come here baby boy we can't have you getting sick on us your sister would kill us," she said to him "here Troy you burp him." Troy sat up on the floor and took him he held him a lot better than Wyatt did.

"Alright big boy I know you're mad because Lizzie took your bottle but she'll give right back once you burp for me." Troy had him on his shoulder and he was softly patting him on the back. He tried that without success for several minutes to get him to burp.

"Give him here I'll try." Wyatt took him from Troy in one swift motion and held him up in his face. "I know you like food as much as Chuck and Coop do burp for me big guy and then I'll make mean old Lizzie give you you're bottle back." he held him close and patted his back getting the desired result. He handed Parker back to Liz.

"Ok handsome I know you didn't like that here you go." Liz stuck the bottle back in his mouth and he began to suck furiously until he finished the whole thing. She handed him off to Wyatt. "Wy after he burps change him and get him ready for bed everything he needs is in his bag." she kissed him on the cheek and walked to her bedroom.

"Liz where is he sleeping ?" Lilly asked he wasn't sleeping with her she wasn't letting Roman sleep on that couch by himself.

"With me and Wy I don't trust him alone with Troy if I don't watch he'll be feeding him beer." Liz answered taking her shoes off as she went down the hall.

Lilly looked at her twin brother he looked awful he had dark circles under his eyes. "Roman James you can sleep with me if you stay on your side of the bed the first time you pull the covers off of me your gone." she warned him.

"It's a deal sis." Roman said picking up his pillow and walking to her bedroom.
