Lovin' You
Summary: Sequal to What Hurts The Most. Set 4 years after when the twins are 5.
Parker walked into the door of her apartment that she shares with her children Potter and Phoenix and her boyfriend Dillon is over so much he practically lives with them anyway. She sat her college books down on the counter and searched the room. The apartment wasn't large but it wasn't small either. There were 3 bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms, a pretty good size kitchen, and a spacious living room, and a balcony with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge. It was in a nice neighborhood and close to her mother's house and her school. The twins' kindergarten was just about 15 minutes away and her and Dillon worked in a restaurant down the street.
Parker also worked some nights in her moms club, P3. Dillon will watch the kids while she's at work and then he usually just spends the night after she gets home. Her and Dillon had been dating for about 3 years now give or take a month and they're relationship was pretty good. They had their occasional fights but what couple doesn't. Her parents for one actually. Ever since she was 17 her parents had reconciled their divorce and began dating each other again. It had taken Parker months to get used to the idea but now, she could see that they're actually really good together.
As they grew older, the twins started getting more and more different from each other. Potter had kind of shaggy blonde hair and bright blue eyes, they had changed from green to blue when they turned three. Phoenix had long wavy chocolate brown hair and big green/brown eyes. Potter loves having attention and Parker could already tell he'd be a gread public speaker. Phoenix hated having alot of attention unless it was given to her by her mommy or her gramma pipew, as she called them. Potter was a big daddy's boy. He and Dillon got along great and Dillon was like his favorite person.
When she turned 18 Parker and the twins had moved out of the manor and into an apartment closer to her school. Piper had almost cried a river (literally) the day they moved. She'd hugged each of them for at least ten minutes before Leo finally pried her off and they could leave. Piper keeps the twins while Parker's at school or work. Over the past couple of years, she'd actually started seeing Leo as a father. He'd orb in sometimes to check on everybody and Parker couldn't tell if he was just being nice or if he was being annoying.
Seems like both to me, she thought as she cleaned up some of Potter and Phoenix's toys off of the living room floor. She pushed a lock of long chocolate brown hair out of her face as she put the toys in the toybox. She then scanned the apartment with suspicious green eyes as she made sure it was nice and clean. Parker had enherited her mother's cleanliness and always made sure the apartment was clean before going and getting the twins from the manor.
She knew they'd be asleep by now. They always were when she had a late class. She always wanted to go to college but now that she was, she hated it because she never got to spend any real time with her kids. Parker sighed sitting down on the couch. She didn't know what was wrong, she had a great boyfriend, great kids, supportive family, she was passing all of her classes in college, she had jobs that paid good money, yet she felt something was missing. She sighed again, running a hand through her hair before orbing to her parents house.
She orbed into the manor to see Potter and Phoenix asleep in her mother's bed. She went downstairs and into the room she heard voices from. She walked into the kitchen to see her parents standing by the counter smiling annoyingly at each other and kissing every other word they said in the conversation they were having. She stood with a cocked eyebrow and an amused look on her face as Leo placed his hands on Piper's hips and kissed her more pationately. She didn't know why but breaking up their make-out sessions always was fun for her. She didn't know if it was how Piper would spin around and look at her blushing beet red or how Leo would cough nervously and try to think of some lame excuse or change the subject. She coughed as a signal that she was there and they pulled apart quickly, Piper spun to face her, smiling and blushing and then Leo couched nervously and said, "What are you doin' Park?"
Parker chuckled and walked further on into the kitchen, "Just came to get the twins."
"Their up in our room sleeping." Piper replied less embarassed.
"I know, I just thought I'd come tell you instead of just orbing off with them." Parker replied.
"Ahh, yes that's a good thought." Piper said smiling at her.
"Well, I guess I'll go get them and be going now." Parker replied kissing her mom on the cheek before orbing upstairs. Leo followed her orbing, knowing that she'd need help orbing the twins home and putting them in bed.
------------------------------
"Mommy." Phoenix cried shaking Parker lightly. Parker woke up at 2:30am to see Phoenix standing beside her bed tears running down her face, a teddy bear tucked under one arm, and wearing her pink bunny pajamas.
"What's the matter butterfly?" Parker asked using the nickname she had given her daughter when she was 3 and dressed up as a butterfly for Halloween.
"I had bad dweam." Phoenix replied sniffling.
Parker smiled and pulled the blanket back and helped Phoenix climb into the bed. She layed the little girl down and held her close. "It's ok sweetie, it was only a dream. Mommy's here now, go back to sleep. Your safe I promise." Parker reassured her knowing that the dream had to be about demons, nothing else usually made her cry.
-------------------------------
Parker woke up to see that she was alone in bed. She sat up startled and threw the blanket off, running into Phoenix's room and peeking in. Seeing it empty too, she moved on to Potter's room to find it empty as well. She was starting to completely panic when she walked down the hall and into the kitchen to see Dillon and the twins sitting at the table and eating breakfast. She sighed in releif and smiled at Dillon as she went over and kissed the twins on their cheeks and then kissed Dillon on the lips. She sat down next to him and began eating breakfast as well.
Today was a good day, Potter decided. It was Saturday, his mommy didn't have school or work and they didn't have school so they got to spend some time with her maybe. Don't get him wrong. He loved going over to gramma Piper's and gampa Leo's but he missed his mommy.
Phoenix refused to get her hopes up. Every other Saturday her mommy would work on homework instead of play with them so she just gave up. She loves her mommy, don't doubt that, but she just figured out when her mommy started late classes at school she stopped spending lots of time with them.
Dillon recognized Phoenix's face. It's the face she wears every Saturday. It's her face of disapointment, sadness, and anger. He talked to her about it last Saturday and found out the reason that she's feeling those things is because she knew her mommy didn't have time for them anymore and it broke his heart. It made him feel like a horrible father. Parker would make the time to go out on dates with him but couldn't make the time to spend with their children who need her the most. The problem is that most likely, this Saturday will be the same as every other Saturday. He'll go to work, The twins'll play, and Parker will either study or do homework. Then, around 7 or so, Dillon and Parker will drop the twins off at Parker's parents house and go out to dinner.
Parker saw Phoenix's face too. She knew what caused it. Even without asking. That's why today is a special day. Homework can wait until Sunday. Parker thought as she stood up and put her plate in the sink. She spun around to face them, leaning back against the counter. "You know, I was thinking. Maybe we could all go to the park today."
Potter's eyes lit up in excitement and he jumped out of his chair and hugged his mom's legs. Parker lifted him up and hugged him. Yep, definately wait until Sunday. She thought as she put him down and walked over to Phoenix's chair and bent down to her. "What'd you think?" she asked her.
"Your really gonna spend the day wif us?" Phoenix asked unsure.
Parker smiled and nodded. "All day."
A grin formed on Phoenix's face and she hugged Parker around the neck. Parker hugged her back rocking her side to side slightly.
"OK, you two. Go into your rooms and me and daddy will be in in a second to get you ready. K?" Parker announced. The twins nodded and ran into their bedrooms.
Parker smiled suspiciously at Dillon. He was sitting in his chair smiling knowingly at her. She walked over to him and sat down in his lap. "What are you smiling at?" Parker asked sort of seductively, leaning forward enough for Dillon to feel her hot breath on his lips.
Dillon licked his lips and his breath became a little heavy. "Nothing." he said raising his eyebrows at her slightly in the middle of the word. He then leaned forward and captured her lips, kissing her pationately. Soon, it turned into a full on make-out session which ended when they heard a very loud EW come from the doorway.
The broke apart and turned to see Phoenix standing there, her face scrunched up in discust. "What were doin'?"
"Nothing sweetie. Come on. Let's go get you dressed." Parker said picking up her daughter and carrying her into her bedroom.
Parker went over to Phoenix's closet and got out a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt that had a winged version of the Charmed Triquetra (A/N: its basically the triquetra that has angel wings.) airbrushed on the back of it that was different shades of blue and yellow and had the name 'Halliwell' written over it in green cursive letters and a blended background of different shades of blue and yellow and had 'Phoenix' over it in green cursive on the top right hand side. She then got her dressed and pulled her long brown hair up into a ponytail.
Dillon went into Potter's room and got him out a pair of cacki pants and a white t-shirt that had a winged version of the Charmed Triquetra airbrushed on the back of it that was different shades of red and had the name 'Halliwell' written over it in yellow cursive letters and a blended background of different shades of red and had 'Potter' over it in yellow cursive on the front top right hand side. He got him dressed and combed his shaggy blonde hair a little before picking him up and leaving the room.
Parker and Dillon met in the living room with the twins. They commonly put the twins in similar shirts when they take them to a public place like the park so they won't loose each other. They sat the twins down on the couch and Dillon got their jackets out of their rooms while Parker put their shoes on them.
Dillon came back and layed the jackets on the couch and the twins were playing in the floor with some toys.
"OK, I'm ready." Parker said a few minutes later coming out of her bedroom wearing a pair of hip hugging jeans and a white tank top. She was carrying her car keys, her drivers license, her jean jacket, and a pair of tennis shoes. After she put her shoes on she pulled her hair up into a loose pony tail pushing her bangs out of her eyes as she stood up to put her jacket on. She noticed that Dillon was stairing at her. "What?"
"Nothing. Your just beautiful." Dillon said looking at her with bright blue eyes making her melt. That's where Potter learned it. She thought with a evil smile.
"Oh am I?" Parker asked walking over to him and kicking his foot lightly. He smiled at her.
"Oh yes you are." He said standing up and wrapping his arms around her waist, pulling her close to him.
Parker just raised her eyebrows at him breifly before smirking at him and turning to get out of his grip. Dillon's smirked back and gripped her closer and tighter before kissing her long and pationately. Parker's hands went up and one layed on his neck and the other was filing through his shaggy jet black hair. When they finally pulled away they were both out of breath. "I gotta go." Parker whispered knowing Dillon had to work.
Dillon nodded shortly kissing her again just as long and pationately as before. This time, when they broke apart he grabbed his jacket and put it on before helping Phoenix do the same. Parker helped Potter before standing back up, making sure her drivers license was in her pocket, and grabbed Potter's hand in one of hers and grabbed her car keys with the other. Dillon held Phoenix's hand and they all left the apartment.
OK, that's this one. But, if you guys like it and I get lots of reviews I may turn this into a story. But only if I get lots of good REVIEWS.
Thanks,
