Piper, Phoebe and Paige stood inside their living area, at the manor in San Francisco. Around them, stood three men by the names of Leo, Coop and Henry.

" Leo it's fine, go with them" Ushered Piper at Leo, her husband. " Really we'll be fine without you guys."

Piper was referring to the family vacation to New York that the sisters were planning to go on with their husbands that day. It had appeared that Phoebe could not get the time off work, and as Piper was six months pregnant, she really didn't feel like going with them. Paige had only planned to go because she did not want to be the only sister not going, but as it now seemed that they weren't, she had no intention of going. When the sisters presented this news to their husbands, they had in fact seemed very disappointed, after going to the trouble of booking a hotel and constantly talking about all the exciting things to do in New York. Over the past year, the guys had seemed to get along great, and so the sisters felt that just because they could not take the vacation, there was no reason for the guys not to.

" Piper, I cant just take a vacation without you and leave you here, pregnant and with two infants to care for" Leo explained.

"Oh give me a break Leo," Piper laughed " After all the demons I've handled in the past 8 years, I think I can handle being alone with the boys for a couple of weeks."

" Don't worry Leo, Paige and I will help out with the boys." Phoebe grinned, and then turned to Paige who nodded. Listening to the talk between Piper and Leo, Henry turned towards his own wife and sighed.

" Paige, I don't feel right going without you. Are you sure you don't want to come?"

" To be truthful Henry, I just don't feel like going. It's fine, go." Paige smiled at her husband. Coop glanced at Phoebe as if to check with her that she did not mind, and Phoebe returned by smiling and nodding, and then walking over to hug him.

"Well then," Phoebe pulled away from Coop and clapped her hands together, looking out of the window, "You guys better get going, I assume that's your cab outside."

"Wait, cab? Why don't you just orb?" Paige pulled a confused face. Since the ultimate battle, the elders had allowed Leo to have his white lighter powers back so that he could continue to teach in magic school. This had, at first, caused some unnecessary panicking as Piper had believed that this would once again make Leo immortal, however it was soon confirmed after by the Elders that Leo would remain mortal and would grow old with Piper, just like they had foreseen.

"Because," Henry smiled, "We are going to travel as regular people. This cab takes us to the airport where we will catch a plane like everybody else." All six of them walked towards the front door. Passing Wyatt and Chris in their play pen, Piper reached in and scooped up Chris as Leo picked up Wyatt.

" Say goodbye to daddy and your uncles, boys" Piper said softly.

" Bye daddy" Wyatt mumbled in his sweet toddler voice. Chris responded by smiling at everybody in the room and pulling at Piper's long dark hair.

" Bye, boys, daddy wont be gone for long." Leo smiled. Henry and Coop responded by ruffling the boys hair in a playful way. After all three couples had said their goodbyes, Piper, Phoebe and Paige watched their husbands get into the taxi and waved at them as it drove off. Shutting the door behind her, Phoebe picked up her eldest nephew who had started to cry.

"Oh don't worry, Wyatt," Phoebe cooed, stroking his blonde hair. " Daddy wont be gone for that long." Piper rolled her eyes at Phoebe. She smiled to herself at how her sister was always the first one to go running up to a child and cuddle it.

" Just leave him Phoebe, he's just after attention. He'll be fine in about 5 minutes." Piper whispered as they walked into the kitchen. Paige glanced over at the clock on the wall. It was already 1pm and her lunch hour for social services would be over in fifteen minutes.

" Well I best get back to work, I might call round later if you need me to baby-sit the boys while your at P3." Paige rolled her eyes sarcastically and smiled. " Seen as I have nothing else to do with Henry on vacation." Piper did not need to go to work yet at her night club P3, as it was only the afternoon and her night club would not be open yet. Piper placed Chris into his play pen and stood facing her two sisters.

" I was thinking, since the guys are away," Piper talked slowly. "You two could move back in here so that when I'm at P3 and your watching the boys, you can just go to bed if you get tired instead of waiting up for me to come home"

Phoebe and Paige exchanged glances. They both knew what this was about, and deep down so did Piper. They knew that the truth was that Piper didn't want to be alone in the manor. Ever since

they had moved out, Piper had constantly been remarking on how quite the house was with just her, Leo, Billie and the boys. Now that their friend Billie had moved back onto her college campus and Leo was away for two weeks, Piper would be all alone. Piper knew that it wasn't because she was scared, it was just that she was so used to living with her sisters, that the past year without them had seemed lonely, even though they still dropped by almost every day and that now they were all going home to empty homes, they should all just stay together.

" It would be a lot more convenient for all of us." Piper added, trying to convince her sisters. Phoebe's stare suddenly turned into a warm smile. Phoebe knew that it would mean a lot to Piper if they just stayed with her for the two weeks.

" You don't need to try and convince us, sweetie." Phoebe placed Wyatt on the floor and put her arm around her older sister. " If it makes you happy, then I'm in." Piper smiled and turned towards her youngest sister, Paige.

"Ditto." Paige laughed. She didn't really see the point in it, but she knew it couldn't hurt and she spent so much time in the manor anyway, it wouldn't be much of a difference. "I'll bring some clothes and stuff round after work." Although both Phoebe and Paige had moved out of the Halliwell Manor over a year ago, some of their belonging still remained in their old rooms.

" Paige do you mind if you orb me to my apartment before you go back to work? I need to finish some of the 'Ask Phoebe' letters." Phoebe said.

" Sure, Pheebz. See you later Piper!" Paige called as she orbed both herself and Phoebe out of the room, leaving Piper with a flash of Paige's red hair and a circle of blue and white light. Walking into the dining room, Piper smiled to herself. It will be just like old times, she thought.
