I don't own Charmed or Twilight
PiperPOV:
"Leo". Where could that man be. I could never find him when I needed him. Not that I needed him right now, it's just that we haven't seen a demon in a few days. It was nearly a week since we sent someone back to the underworld. Time like this doesn't come around that often.
"Leo", I tried louder this time.
Blue sparkles filled the room and then Leo was standing in front of me.
"Finally" I said as I greeted him with a kiss.
"Too long I guess? And how's my little man going?" He took Wyatt out of my arms and started to coo to our child as he rocked him back and forth.
"I finally get time off from demon hunting and you can't show your face around here... no... around me for two minutes? Where have you been? And yes it has been too long."
"I'm sorry love, I know you don't get a break that often, that's why I've been up there trying to get this break to go for as long as possible for you." He rolled his eyes to the ceiling, and the heavens above, when he said 'up there'. We both knew he was talking about the Elders, yet none of us said their names unless we wanted them to know we were talking about them, which didn't happen often.
"What do you mean as long as possible?" Then it dawned on me. Our well deserved break was about to end.
I sighed. "What is it now?" I couldn't be more aggravated. It was bound to happen though. When would it all stop?
"You might want Paige and Phoebe to hear this too. And I don't really want to have to repeat myself. If that's ok with you, of course?" I sighed again.
"Paige is in the kitchen and Phoebe is at work." I looked at the clock. "Actually she should be in the car coming home right now. Give her ten minutes." Leo also looked at the clock and I heard a little rubble as his stomach told him that it was dinner time.
"Why aren't you in the kitchen?" He asked surprised. I was normally in the kitchen getting dinner ready for Phoebe to walk in and sit down to. Today was different though.
"Paige got board, and wanted to give me a break, so she's cooking dinner tonight. I'm not allowed in the kitchen." I told him as I remembered Paige telling me to back away from the kitchen door half an hour ago.
"Hmm. Maybe you should check on her before she burns the kitchen down." He joked. Paige didn't cook often and the last time she did, she set the set the pan of chicken she was frying on fire.
"Give her some credit. Her cooking isn't that bad, just her chicken. Now come help me set the table." We walked out of the family room and into the dining room, grabbing plates as I walked towards the table.
As if on cue, Phoebe walked through the door as soon as I set the last plate down.
"Hmm, what smells delish. Weird, but good... Piper isn't that Paige's job?" She looked at me questioning. I sighed.
"Paige is cooking tonight." I told her.
She groaned at that. Leo snickered behind me. I gave him a glare.
"Don't worry, it's not chicken. I hope."
At that Paige walked in holding a bowl of salad.
"No, it's not chicken." She glared at us and we all burst out laughing. She huffed then walked back into the kitchen, returning seconds later holding a pan full of fried fish. I must say it looked delicious.
"Mmm, that looks great Paige." Phoebe told Paige.
"Thankyou Phoebe. Well dig in, and remember to leave room for desert."After I had finished I started feeding Wyatt the food that was left in his bowl and not on his face, table or the floor. Then I remembered Leo saying something about the end of our break.
I sighed. "So Leo what was it that you were saying about our ended break?"
My sisters groaned at the word end.
"Well the Elders are concerned with some killings going on up in Seattle. They want you guys to go and check it out."
"Can't some other witch do it. It's just some killings and it's rather far for a job for us." Phoebe had to wine. Anything to prolong our break.
"Well other witches in the area did look into it. One was killed and so the others all back off. Looks like a job for the charmed ones."
"Killed? How many killings are we talking about?" Paige just had to ask.
"Well it started with about one a week but the numbers are increasing and there are also the disappearance of some teenagers."
"Well their goes our weekend." Paige muttered.
"So when do we leave?" I asked.
"I've already booked you a room on the outskirts of Seattle. Hopefully we can leave tomorrow." Tomorrow. We all groaned at that.
