Chapter 1: Future Plans
"Hey Charlie, you've got some mail." Paige told her youngest daughter when she came in the house.
"Where's it from?" Patty asked her mother excitedly. She was waiting for her college acceptance letters and the truth be told she was starting to get nervous. Not that she had anything to be nervous about she had the grades to get into whatever school she wanted. The problem was she wasn't sure where she wanted to go, or if she wanted to go where Ricky wasn't.
"I don't know you're just going to have to look and find out for yourself." Paige replied smiling.
Patty picked up three envelopes that were really thick and she tore into the first one and took the time to read it before scanning the other two. "I got into Berkley, USC, and the University of North Carolina." She reported.
"Honey, that's great, are you going to go to any of those schools?" Paige asked.
"I don't know yet." Patty replied with a shrug.
"That's what you say every time you get an acceptance letter, sooner or later you are going to have to pick a school." Paige told her patiently.
"I know that, mom, I just don't know where I want to go. And truthfully I don't know that I want to go without Ricky." Patty explained.
Paige sighed and sat her daughter down at the kitchen table. "Baby, you have to do what's right for you and let Ricky do what's right for him. You're going to have to trust that your love is strong enough to stand the test of being separated."
"I'm looking at not only academics, but the softball programs too. Where my dumb ass boyfriend is looking for a good football program." Patty explained.
"I'm not going to tell you what to do because this is the one choice you have to make for yourself. Just remember that you have acceptance letters from Harvard, Yale, and Princeton." Paige pointed out to her.
"I don't think I want to go to an Ivy League school, mom, I want to have a little bit of fun in college." Patty informed her.
"If that's not what you want then don't do it. You have dozens of colleges to choose from already." Paige replied with a shrug.
"Mom, do you think that I'll be able to go away to school?" Patty asked. She was afraid that they wouldn't finish with the Triad in time for her to get to go away to school.
"I know that you will, this thing with the Triad is almost done and then you won't have to worry about that anymore." Paige assured her.
"I see my sister is still stressing out about what school to go to." Carly said coming into the kitchen.
"Carly, mail," Paige told her older daughter.
"Sweet," Carly replied picking up her stack of letters. She tore into the one that she wanted to read first and a huge smile spread across her face. "Mom, I got into NYU." She squealed. This was the letter that she had been waiting on.
"Oh baby, I am so proud of you. Wait until your dad hears about this." Paige said pulling Carly into a hug.
"You have the grades to go to NYU?" Patty asked her sister with an arched eyebrow.
"I'm not as dumb as I allow everyone to think I am. My grades aren't as good as yours but they're still pretty damn good." Carly replied sticking her tongue out at her sister.
"You're going to be ok being separated from Val?" Patty asked with a smirk.
"Val is going to transfer thank you very much." Carly huffed highly indignantly.
"Mom, I'm not sure that New York is ready for the two of them." Patty said shaking her head.
"I was just thinking the same thing." Paige laughed.
"If I hear the word wedding one more time this week I'm going to snap. I swear all it's going to take is one more time." Little Henry's voice could be heard from the entranceway.
Bianca came into the kitchen ahead of her fiancé. "Aunt Paige, I warn you now he is upset." She said. She was trying hard not to laugh.
"B, are you even listening to me?" Henry asked coming into the room behind her.
"Hank, I have been tuning you out for the last fifteen minutes." Bianca told him seriously.
"What's wrong, Henry?" Paige asked her oldest son.
"What's wrong is I just spent my afternoon with Aunt Phoebe driving me insane." Henry informed his mother.
"Hank, how are things for the wedding going?" Carly asked her older brother with a smirk.
Henry scowled at his baby sister. "Mom, I swear to God I am going to strangle that girl."
"Carly Janice, leave your brother alone he is stressed." Paige ordered her.
"B, why can't we just get married barefoot in the back yard?" Henry asked her in all seriousness.
"Because my mother would more than likely kill us. I'm with you on this one, I didn't enjoy spending my afternoon that way either." Bianca said trying hard not to laugh at him.
"We still have over a month before the wedding, I don't understand why we have to cram everything in now." Henry pouted crossing his arms over his chest.
"The sooner we get it done the sooner we won't have to worry about it." Bianca pointed out to him.
"Good point," Henry agreed. "Mom, where's Goose?" he asked about his baby brother.
"He is upstairs taking a nap and don't you go wake him up either." Paige answered his question.
"I hope one of you two has something to tell me that can brighten my day." Henry said turning to his sisters.
"I got more acceptance letters from college." Patty told him rolling her eyes.
"Where from this time, Charlie?" Bianca asked her.
"Berkley, USC, and the University of North Carolina." Patty replied.
"If you want to play soccer of basketball go to North Carolina." Henry mused.
"Carly, do you have something that you want to tell you brother?" Paige asked her daughter.
"Hank, I got into NYU." Carly told her brother breaking out into a huge grin.
"You have the grades to get into NYU?" Henry asked jokingly.
"Ha, Ha, you're really funny Henry. Your little sister said the same damn thing." Carly replied rolling her eyes.
Henry pulled her into a hug. "I'm proud of you kid, I always knew that you had it in you."
"Are we sure that New York can handle her?" Bianca asked with a smirk.
"Don't you have a little sister of your own to terrorize?" Carly asked her playfully.
"I don't know where she is right now and I have to admit that I like it that way. If you haven't noticed the girl gets on my last fucking nerve." Bianca replied.
"Most likely with Chord." Henry said knowing how that would go over.
Bianca frowned and then she shook her head. "If she's with Chord then she's leaving me alone. I'm not going to complain about that."
"Where's Hails?" Henry asked when he noticed that his younger cousin was nowhere to be found.
"With Dante, I think or her and Mia may be hanging out I don't know which." Patty just rolled her eyes.
"Hank, you can't kill him you have to go get fitted for your tux tomorrow." Bianca reminded him when she saw the look that crossed his face.
"I told you that I'm not wearing a tux, I'm wearing my dress blues." Henry was just trying to get a rise out of her.
"Henry, you have been told I don't know how many times that you're getting a tux." Paige told her son shaking her head.
"Fine, then I'm getting a white tux." Henry replied.
"Hank, I refuse to marry your ass if you get one of those ugly ass things." Bianca said putting her foot down.
"I'm only kidding, but I was not joking when I said that I'm not wearing a bow tie." Henry retorted. He had to take a stand on something.
Bianca just rolled her eyes at him before she turned to his sisters. "You two do remember that I need you tomorrow right?" she asked them.
"Yes, Hailey and Charlie have only reminded me seventeen times today." Carly replied with an eye roll of her own.
"I think I'm coming down with something, I won't be able to make it. I can't be around Carly, Prue, Oriana, and Lilly when shopping is involved." Patty joked.
"You're not leaving me to deal with them. Besides if Mel is coming so are you." Bianca said firmly.
"I'm pretty sure that Mel doesn't like you anymore. You're making her get dressed up and that is not her idea of a good time." Patty pointed out to her.
"We've already had that fight and I told her that I needed her to keep me sane." Bianca replied like it was no big deal.
"Am I allowed to kill Chase?" Henry asked.
"I say yes, but mom and Aunt Paige said that we're not allowed to inflict bodily harm on anyone." Bianca said with a sigh.
"You two are well known for your propensity towards violence. If we didn't tell you that then you would have already killed someone." Paige pointed out logically.
"Chris has already been trying to slip me damn nerve pills. He's my best man he's supposed to be on my side, not be a little stooge for you and Aunt Lyn." Henry pouted.
"Rachel did the same damn thing to me and here those two used to be so loyal. I think that our mothers got a hold of them." Bianca agreed with him.
"You two cut it out or I'll kill you before you ever make it down the aisle." Paige threatened them. They all knew that she was just bluffing though.

"Dude, at least pretend like you're trying to cover my ass here. I'm getting all shot up and you're not doing anything to help me." Billy bitched at Chase. They were sitting in the living room of Billie's house playing Call of Duty. They had two separate TVs set up and a playstation hooked up to each of them.
"I am covering your ass, it's not my fault that you're leaving your left flank open to attack." Chase yelled back at him.
"It is so your fucking fault," Billy disputed.
"It is not my fucking fault and if you don't watch out you're going to get your ass killed and then we will have to start this level over." Chase said pointing at Billy's screen.
"William Carl and Francis Chase, if you two can't watch your mouths I will make you go down to the basement and play." Billie said coming into the room with her hands on her hips. Neither young man bothered to even turn around and look at her.
"Hey dumb and dumber, I do believe that she was talking to you the least you can do is make eye contact for two seconds." Prue told her grandson and the boy she thought of as a nephew. She had just come over to visit her daughter.
"Hey Aunt Prue," Chase said brightly giving her his best charming smile.
"Hi Chase," Prue said shaking her head at him.
"Hi grandma," Billy said pausing his game long enough to go over and give her a hug.
"Billy, we've talked about this you have got to find something better than grandma to call me." Prue said kissing him on the cheek.
"I'm still working on it, I'll let you know when I come up with something good." Billy replied grinning.
"Do I want to know what they were cussing like sailors about?" Prue asked her daughter.
"Mom, they have a sickness with that damn game. I would like for you to note all the cables they have laying on the floor. That's because they are in a death match against Wyatt and Jake right now." Billie informed her mother rolling her eyes.
"It's a matter of pride there is no way in hell that we can allow those two to beat us again. They are hard enough to be around as it is." Chase protested.
"I align myself with everything that Chase just said." Billy agreed nodding his head.
"Mom, you are so lucky that you only have one son to deal with. I have two and somehow I ended up with Chase too." Billie said sighing.
"My mom threw me out of the house because I was being too loud for Auggie to sleep. She told me that I had to come back later because she is going to make sure that I don't forget to get fitted for my damn tux tomorrow. I hate having three damn sisters they all get on my nerves so bad." Chase bitched.
"I'm going to agree with you on that one sisters can be a pain in the ass sometimes. At least all my sisters are younger than me though." Prue chuckled.
"Little sisters aren't much better. Hayden thinks that it's funny to paint my fingernails while I'm sleeping. One time I woke up and she had given me a complete makeover. I'm still not so sure that Val and Carly didn't put her up to that one though." Billy groaned.
"Speaking of Hayden, where are my sweet grandchildren?" Prue asked.
"JD took them to the park so they didn't disturb the two princesses while they were playing their game." Billy replied rolling her eyes.
"Not funny, mom." Billy protested.
"Totally funny, Bill." Billie retorted.
"I swear to God, I can't wait until I go away to college." Billy muttered.
"I can't wait for you to go away either. I'm turning your room into a gym." Billie countered.
"Good, that gives me one more reason not to come back." Billy said sticking his tongue out at his mother.
"I'm not so sure that he is eighteen sometimes." Billie really didn't know what else to say on that one.
"He is just like his Aunt Phoebe when he wants to be. He might look like his grandfather but he has a lot of Halliwell in him. Hayden reminds me of your Aunt Paige and then poor Colt is a cross between me and your Aunt Piper." Prue observed.
"Come on, mom, let's go into the kitchen and leave these two to their game." Billie suggested.
"That sounds good to me, I have nothing better to do your dad has Allie and Joey right now. He told me to get out of the house and relax for a little while." Prue agreed following her daughter into the kitchen.
"So dude, what's going on with you and Mia?" Chase asked Billy as they turned back to their game.
"Nothing is going on between me and Mia." Billy answered. It wasn't because he didn't want there to be he just didn't want to push her into anything that she wasn't ready for.
"I was thinking that since there isn't anything going on between the two of you that I might ask her out." Chase ventured he didn't want to piss his best friend off.
Billy shrugged like it didn't matter to him. "I don't care, knock yourself out if that's what you want."
"Dude, you totally like her." Chase called him on his bullshit.
"So maybe I do." Billy replied.
"Friendly competition?" Chase asked.
Billy smiled smugly. "You're on Hoyt." He agreed shaking hands with his friend.
"Hailey, do you have any clue how wild you drive me?" Brady asked her they were lying on the fold out bed in the back room of P3. They were both in various states of undress.
"I think that I have a pretty good idea." Hailey smirked up at him while running her hand over his bare chest.
"Well, as long as you know what you're doing." Brady teased her.
"The feeling is mutual. The way you make me feel is amazing." Hailey began and Brady just laughed. "I'm serious, Phil, I've have never felt this way before."
"It's called lust my friend. I'm just glad that you're letting me be the one to show you and not Dante." Brady replied kissing her on top of her head.
"Dante and I have never done anything more than make out. You are the only one that I am intimate with." Hailey assured him.
"I know that and you wouldn't be wrong if you did do something with Dante. You're young you need to explore a little bit." Brady retorted. He would take her anyway that he could get her.
"Phil, when I'm ready to go all the way I want you to be my first. I know that you will be gentle with me." Hailey told him seriously.
"Hails, I hate to bring this up now, but at some point you are going to have to choose between the two of us." Brady observed logically.
"I know that, but for right now I'm having fun with both of you. You and I aren't exclusive and Dante and I aren't exclusive. Like you said I'm not hurting anything." Hailey replied sweetly.
"I just want you to know that I won't cheat on you, not that I have anyone to cheat with, I'm just saying." Brady rambled on.
"You're free to do what you want too, Phil, I don't want you to think that I'm just using you to get off." Hailey replied.
Brady blushed at hearing her talk so bluntly. "Hailey, you never talked like that before you and I started fooling around. I'm starting to think that I might be a bad influence on you."
"Don't be silly, I love the things that you do to me." Hailey smirked at him.
"You're not half bad yourself." Brady replied kissing her on the mouth.
"Phil, how much time do you think we have?" Hailey asked him sweetly.
"The club doesn't open for a few more hours, why?" Brady asked in reply.
"I was hoping that we had time to mess around some more." Hailey looked up at him with lust in her big blue eyes.
Brady rolled his hazel eyes playfully. "You are insatiable," he laughed.
"You know that you wouldn't have me any other way." Hailey replied.
"Lay back," Brady ordered pushing her back down on the bed. He started by kissing her lips and he slowly worked his way downward.
"Ricky, you know better than to yell like that if there isn't a demon." Derek yelled at his son when he walked in the house talking rather loudly about something.
"But dad, the occasion totally calls for me to be this loud." Ricky had a huge grin on his face.
"I don't care what the occasion is Derek Brian, you will keep your voice down. I just got the twins to go down for a nap." Eva said walking in on their conversation.
"Ricky, what has you so excited?" Derek asked his son.
"I got into the University of Florida, the University of Alabama, and Auburn University. That is black and blue football baby, it don't get no better than the SEC." Ricky cheered at the top of his lungs.
"Eva, I'm getting a Division One football player." Derek said pulling his son into a tight hug.
"Ricky, I'm so happy for you right now. I know how badly you wanted to get into one of those schools." Eva said kissing her son on the cheek.
"Which school are you going to pick?" Derek asked excitedly.
"It's between Florida and Alabama, both schools have a great football program. I think I'm leaning more towards Florida though, because they have a really great academic program." Ricky replied.
"You're actually making a decision without consulting your girlfriend first?" Eva asked to tease him.
"I was actually told to do what I thought I had to do, because she can't make up her damn mind about where she wants to go." Ricky answered his mother.
"You still have a lot to learn about women," Derek said shaking his head.
"What did I do wrong?" Ricky asked confused.
"You're a smart boy, you'll figure it out eventually." Eva couldn't help smirking at him.
"I might be in a world of shit with my girlfriend and both my parents find it amusing. I don't know what I did to deserve something like that." Ricky said throwing his hands up in the air.
"You're not in trouble, it's just when a woman says do what you want you ask her what she wants you to do." Derek chuckled.
"That makes no sense at all." Ricky said groaning.
"We women never claimed to make sense, you just have to learn to live with us." Eva pointed out to him.
"Damn, sis, this is pretty late for you to be getting up." Piper told her daughter when she came shuffling into the kitchen.
Mel yawned and stretched her arms out over her head. "I guess I was tired, I did work last night and I had class earlier. Most of the time my schedule doesn't bother me, but there are times when it catches up to me." she replied.
"I'll be honest I don't know how you do it, it would kill me." Piper said sighing. She didn't know how her daughter handled the schedule that she kept.
Mel walked over to the kitchen table where her little brother was sitting in his bouncy chair. "Hey big boy, I think that you should be napping." She said tickling his belly; she was rewarded with a laugh for her efforts.
"Don't even get me started on him, he refused to take a good nap for me today." Piper said rolling her eyes.
"Mom, Jackie just wanted to be with you that's all." Mel said smiling.
"That kid has been glued to my side all damn day. This is the first time he has let me put him down." Piper groaned. She loved her son but he was being a little bit of a bear at the moment.
"So, who has Jeremiah today?" Mel asked her mother just to make conversation.
"This is a scary thought I know, but Paige is watching him this afternoon there is no telling what those two are up to. I know that Jack is spending some alone time with Emily right now." Piper informed her.
"Slick isn't as bad as everyone tries to make her out to be." Mel defended her niece. Those two were pretty damn close and that wasn't always a good thing.
"I never said that she was that bad she just doesn't know when to give things to rest. She kinda reminds me of her Aunt Mel sometimes." Piper said smirking at the dig she got in on her daughter.
"My mother the jokester, ladies and gentlemen don't worry she'll be here all week." Mel commented dryly.
"Watch your mouth Melinda Paige, I don't think you're funny at all." Piper scolded her.
"I don't know how you expect me to watch my mouth it's not like there is a mirror around here anywhere." Mel chuckled at her own wit.
" I sometimes think that you and Paige are the same person." Piper stated. Those two girls couldn't be anymore alike if they tried.
"That's because we're both a couple of badasses, grandma." Paige had just walked in the side door with Jeremiah on her hip.
"If it makes you feel better keep telling yourself that Victoria." Piper replied calling her by her middle name.
"Hey, I didn't even do anything there is no reason for you to be busting out my middle name." Paige protested.
"No, you haven't been caught doing anything lately there is a difference." Piper corrected her previous statement.
"I don't know why I even hang around here this is the way these people treat me." Paige said addressing Jeremiah.
"You should listen to grandma, Aunt Paige." Jeremiah pointed out to her.
"Not you too kiddo, you're supposed to be on my side." Paige said grinning at the little boy.
Jeremiah gave her a look that said she was crazy. "I don't want to get in trouble." He reasoned with her.
"Paige, it's bad when even the baby knows that you're trouble." Piper laughed at the face her granddaughter made.
"Mom, stop picking on my niece. She wasn't doing anything for a change." Mel said taking up for her partner in crime.
"Thanks Mels, it's nice to know that someone loves me." Paige replied and then she turned to Jeremiah again. "You can go in the sunroom and play with your toys if you want to."
"Ok, Aunt Paige, I promise that I'll be good." Jeremiah said. His little feet were moving as soon as they hit the floor.
"That kid couldn't be anymore like his dad if he tried." Paige said shaking her head as she watched him run off.
"The same thing could be said for you." Piper said winking at her.
"I know that I'm like my daddy, I'm not going to try to deny it." Paige replied with a shrug.
"You however don't seem to share the same sentiments when it comes to admitting that you're like your mother." Mel observed knowing that it would piss her off royally.
"I'm really not that much like my mother." Paige protested but she made a face exactly like one that Bianca would make. Piper just arched her eyebrow at her and laughed.
"This isn't funny, Oriana." Chord told his girlfriend. She happened to be laughing at him because he was trying without great success to get his baby brother to stop crying.
"Your mom couldn't find anyone else to babysit?" Oriana asked him with a highly amused look on her face.
"I don't think she even tried to find anyone else. I was here, so she put me on Dom duty. I'm not equipped to handle children I'm still too much of a child myself." Chord stressed. "Come on Dom, mommy isn't going to let me watch you anymore if I can't get you to stop crying." He urged his baby brother.
"He can sense that you're nervous and that is making him nervous." Oriana offered helpfully.
"You're one to talk Oriana Rose, I've seen you with Gus, you're not much better at this than I am." Chord protested.
"Don't get testy with me Chord Isaiah, I was just trying to help you out. If you want to be an ass I can always go home and let you suffer alone." Oriana told him with her hands on her hips.
Chord stopped mid stride and walked over to her and kissed her. "Of course I want you to stay, you're my girlfriend. I need you here." he replied sweetly.
"That's what I thought." Oriana smirked at him.
"Do you care to try your hand with this little brat?" Chord asked he was at the end of his rope.
Oriana took Dom from Chord. "Dom, tell your brother that you're not a brat. He doesn't have any patients with you that's all. Yes, I know that you're not happy right now." she cooed at him.
"Damn, maybe you're not as bad at this as I am." Chord observed Dom's crying had already quieted.
"I am the difference between the two of us is I act like I know what I'm doing." Oriana corrected his false assumption.
"Will you be ok while I go grab his bottle?" Chord asked her hopefully.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Oriana assured him as she rocked Dom back and forth in her arms.
Chord came back a second later testing the bottle the sensitive skin of his inner arm. "I can feed him if you don't want to."
"I think that you have traumatized your little brother enough for one day, I've got it under control." Oriana said taking the bottle from him.
"I haven't traumatized him, I resent that accusation." Chord said pretending to be offended.
" Do me a favor, try not to use big words you're not as smart as Liz." Oriana laughed when she saw that the face he made.
"I never claimed to be as smart as my sister, I just said that I was smarter than Troy." Chord replied with a smirk.
"You would be in sad shape if you weren't." Oriana rolled her eyes at her boyfriend.
"Here, I'll burp the little guy." Chord said taking his little brother back. He took the burp rag off the back of the couch and threw it over his shoulder before putting Dom over the same shoulder. It didn't take him long to get him to burp. He settled in his arms after he took him off his shoulder. "He's got his little belly full he should be dropping off at any second now." Dom's eyes were already closing.
"You're not as bad with him as you think you are." Oriana observed.
"I don't want it to get out that I'm so good with him, I will be babysitting more often." Chord joked as he got up and laid Dom in the bassinet that was in the living room.
"You are a sly dog when you want to be Mr. Shane." Oriana said pulling him back down on the couch next to her.
"That's something coming from you Ms. Hoyt." Chord teased back as he went in to kiss her. They jumped away from each other when they heard the front door open.
"You two don't have to stop what you're doing on my account, you're both consenting adults." Nicole said throwing her purse on the table by the door.
"We weren't doing anything." Chord stammered.
"Yeah, Aunt Nic," Oriana agreed nodding her head vigorously.
Nicole shot them both a look. "I'm not stupid, I would have to be blind not to see the way that you two look at each other." She told them shaking her head.
"You know that we're together?" Chord asked his mother with a confused look on his face.
"You're not as quiet as you think you are when you two stumble in the house drunk sometimes." Nicole informed him.
"If you could not tell my dad that we're together yet that would be great. He will seriously kill both of us." Oriana begged.
"You two are adults I could care less what you do as long as you don't end up in jail." Nicole replied simply. "Was Dom good for you?" she directed the question at Chord.
"Hell no, he was a little bear. He was screaming his damn head off, that's what O's doing here, I couldn't get him to calm down." Chord replied.
"I don't know how you could say such a thing about your baby brother." Nicole teased him.
"You're the one who roped me into babysitting, so you don't get to say anything when I complain." Chord retorted.
"Chord, I've got groceries out in the car that I need you to go get for me." Nicole told him sweetly.
"I find it mighty damn convenient that Troy isn't around right now to be used like a slave." Chord sighed getting up off of the couch.
"Your older brother is more than likely either with Val or at work right now, you're the one who was silly enough to be sitting at home." Nicole smirked at him.
"I see how you are woman, if I didn't get free room and board here I would move out." Chord said as he was on his way out the door.
"Chord, darling boyfriend of mine, how are you going to move out when you don't have a job?" Oriana asked him trying to fight off a smile.
"I was counting on you to pay the rent and utilities." Chord smirked smugly at her. He made sure to get outside before she could hit him.
"I'm making a new rule, from now on I'm not allowed to do research because it gives me one big fucking headache." Parker said throwing a book down on the table in front of him. They were sitting in the library at magic school.
"Nice try, but that is not happening. If I have to do research then so do you." Troy laid down the law.
"Troy has just put his foot down, he doesn't get serious often so you better listen." Liz chuckled she didn't even let their arguing bother her anymore.
"If I have to be here then Chord should have to be here too." Parker protested crossing his arms over his chest. He found it highly unfair that his best friend was nowhere around when there was work to be done.
"I don't think I could take you and Chord both being here right now. You're getting on my nerves by yourself I shudder to think what you and young Mr. Shane could do if you were together." Calleigh told her boyfriend and she was dead serious.
"Cal, I hate to sound like B, but you guys need to get back on topic." Liz said smiling sweetly at the younger woman.
"Lizzie, I don't need you sounding like B right now." Wyatt pleaded with his wife.
"We're on topic we just can't find anything on said topic. One would think that there would be a mention of the Knights of Chaos somewhere. I find it highly suspect that we couldn't even find a trace of them in the hall of prophecies." Chris observed solemnly.
"I'm this close to asking Paige to use her in with Matt to help us out on this one." Rachel said holding her thumb and forefinger close together.
"Jesus Christ, Rach, I'm begging you not to do that her and my little brother have enough problems without adding Matt into the mix." Liz said rolling her eyes.
"Are you insinuating something about my daughter, Elizabeth?" Chris asked her in a serious tone but his green eyes shone with mirth.
"I'm not insinuating anything about your daughter, Christopher, I'm flat out saying that the girl is a pain in the ass and she had Dom tied up in knots." Liz replied sounding just a serious, a hint of a smile played on her lips and her honey brown eyes were sparkling.
"She is her mother's daughter, and that is all I can say about that. You've have seen what B has done to Hank, therefore it should not surprise you that her daughter is capable of the same thing." Prue pointed out to Liz. Why she was on this little research mission no one knew because she had a tendency to be a pain in the ass about such things.
"Prue, you might want to watch what you say, Chris is going to get mighty testy if you keep talking about his baby girl like that." Lilly advised her sister-in-law.
"There is no way that Peanut can deny that Paige is just like her mother when she wants to be." Jake protested mildly.
"First of all Cooper, we have talked about you not calling me Peanut, you know that you're not allowed to use any of my nicknames because you show no respect for them. Secondly, it is a known fact that there are times when I think that Paige's name should have been Bianca, however the girl is more like me than is healthy for her." Chris replied in a business like manner.
"Papa Bear has spoken, now knock it off before you guys piss him off." Chuck said shaking his head.
"I find it highly offensive that my twin gets his ass out of this." Lilly pouted changing the subject.
"He was claiming that mom threatened to fire him if he didn't work today, since he won't be able to make it in tomorrow." Wyatt retorted with a roll of his icy blue orbs.
"I'm still trying to figure out ways to get out of going tomorrow." Chuck stated with a sigh. Getting fitted for a tux was not his idea of a good time.
"I hope that you guys aren't giving up already, we have more stuff for you to read through." Leo said coming over to the group he was followed by Jimmy, Henry, and Brody each man had a stack of books in their arms.
"I'm refusing to read anything else because I had to read through police reports all night." Chris informed his father.
"Dad, if there was nothing in the first two hundred books we checked I doubt that there is going to be anything in any of those books either." Wyatt groaned.
"You guys should keep trying you always find what you're looking for in the last place that you look." Jimmy laid some of his assed up logic on them.
"Jimmy, I'm going to be honest with you most the shit that comes out of your mouth sounds like it is made up." Rachel leveled with him. She knew a thing or two about men who were full of it; Mickey Hoyt was her father after all.
"Let's ignore the fact that Jimmy is clearly full of it. There could seriously be something in these books that helps you." Kyle told them seriously.
"Right, because we're having a lot of luck where that is concerned lately." Prue said rolling her eyes.
"Where is my son? This seems like his kinda thing." Henry asked cocking his head to the side.
"Wedding planning with Aunt Phoebe, the five most feared words in the world when used together." Liz answered his question.
Henry cringed; "I don't envy him at all right now." he couldn't help laughing though.
At that moment Hank and B finally orbed in. "I'm giving you all fair warning right now, use the word wedding and I will kill you in a way that can't even be used in the same sentence as humane." He said with a scowl on his face.
"Fine, we will refrain from talking about your future incarceration. We have to try to find out who these damn knights are." Chris agreed with his partner.
"We don't have a lot of time, Hank and I have a dinner that we can't be late for." Bianca said consulting her watch.
"You two don't have to be here right now then I forgot about that dinner, we can handle it without you guys." Rachel assured her cousin.
"No, this is actually the bright spot of my day right now, I just feel the need to warn you that I'm going to kill your grandmother." Bianca said shaking her head.
"You won't kill grandma, dad and Uncle Frank love her." Rachel said rolling her eyes. Her cousin talked a big game but it was mostly just talk.
"I'm talking about our mothers' mother, you know that I detest that woman." Bianca replied glaring at her.
"Wait a minute, your dads married sisters?" Wyatt asked with one hell of a confused look on his face.
"Or you could look at it as our moms married brothers." Rachel told him and he looked at her like she had grown three heads.
"Rach, you know that you just confused the hell out of him." Liz couldn't help laughing a little bit.
"Maybe I had to have just a little bit of fun with him." Rachel chuckled.
"By the way Claire, no way are you playing the I forgot about dinner card, you know that mom thinks you can keep me from killing grandma." Bianca said if she didn't have her cousin with her she would go insane.
"Don't call me Claire, I'm pretty sure that I can fake the stomach flu." Rachel threatened her.
"You wouldn't dare," Bianca called her bluff.
"I would, so don't test me." Rachel replied in a conversational tone.
"Alright ladies, break it up, as much as I would love to see this continue in a mud wrestling pit we have other things to be doing." Hank made one of his off the wall comments.
"You and Chris would like that wouldn't you?" Bianca asked him.
"Hell yeah," the two men in question in unison, Bianca and Rachel shared a look before shaking their heads at the men that they loved.
"Well, you guys have plenty of books to read so I guess we'll leave you to it." Leo said hoping to get them moving.
"We'll get to them Uncle Leo, it might just take us awhile." Jake replied.
"You guys have a mandatory day off tomorrow, there is no rush. We don't want you burning yourselves out." Henry pointed out to them logically.
"I'm thinking that we're going to be burned out anyway. Shopping with my sisters and my mother is not my idea of a good time." Bianca told her future father-in-law.
"I'm the one you should feel sorry for, I have to go shopping with your little brother." Hank said rolling his eyes.
"I feel for you, I really do, but you don't have to deal with my little sister." Bianca replied.
"Guys, just get to your books." Jimmy said it was really beyond him how they ever got anything done.
A/N: Here's the first chapter of the next episode I hope you guys enjoyed it. I know that there wasn't much action but this is just setting things up I promise that it is going to get pretty exciting later. Considering the way that Henry and Bianca are planning this wedding has to be like torture to them. Only Patty would have that much trouble with deciding which college to go to, the girl is like Mel she likes to stress out a lot. God help the world the last thing that needs to happen is Carly and Val unsupervised in New York. I have a feeling that this whole competition between Billy and Chase isn't going to end well at all. Ricky is just about as bad with his love of football as Wyatt and Chuck are. Hailey knows damn good and well the kind of control that she has over Brady and I think that she is enjoying it just a little bit too much. Paige and Mel couldn't be more alike if they tried sometimes, hell I sometimes think that the two of them share a brain. Chord and Oriana together are so cute I'm glad that she finally decided to let him in. The older kids do entirely too much arguing when they are trying to demon hunt or research. Until next time please review.
