The next day Phoebe got up late and trudged slowly downstairs.
"Mommy" Joshua called in excitement when he saw her.
She scooped him up as Kayleigh came out of the sitting room.
"You ok Mom?" The teen asked.
"Yeh I suppose so" Phoebe answered.
"Well I've got to tell you something, its like deadly serious but I couldn't tell you earlier because Aunt Piper wouldn't let me wake you"Kayleigh explained.
"What is it?" Phoebe asked her eldest child.
Kayleigh glanced at Joshua.
"I don't think he should hear," She said.
"Is Dex still here? "Phoebe asked.
"Yeah, it's his day off"kayleigh answered.
Phoebe
put Joshua down and said "Joshie can you go and see Daddy for a
while"
The boy nodded and walked off towards the
conservatory.
"It must be bad, what's up kiddo?"Phoebe asked Kayleigh.
"Amber went out last night and she well she never came back, Piper and Paige are out looking for her now, and well, they left Lizzie in charge of us, do you think they'll find her, what if she's in the underworld, what if the demons got her"kayleigh rambled.
"Kay, your sister's stupid, she's stubborn and badly behaved, she's like her father, but you your nothing like him and it's that Kayleigh, that makes us all so proud if you, but there's one thing about my sisters that I don't understand about my sisters" phoebe answered.
"What?" Kayleigh asked.
"What they were thinking when they left Lizzie in charge Dex is here shouldn't he have been left in charge" Phoebe joked.
"Dex doesn't have magic and Lizzie does, apparently she has a better chance of controlling us"kayleigh replied.
The front door opened.
"Should
we scry for her?" Paige asked walking in.
"No if she's in
the underworld we won't get her" piper replied following. Neither
had seen Phoebe and Kayleigh yet.
"Nothing that?" Kayleigh
asked.
Piper and Paige looked up and saw phoebe and Kayleigh.
"Uh,
phoebes, you ok?"Piper asked.
"Yes why wouldn't I be?"
was phoebe's answer.
"We just don't want you getting mad at
us again like last night" Piper said softly.
"Hey she
weren't mad at me sister, she was mad at you" Paige chimed
in.
"Hey it's 10, shouldn't we be getting ready to you"
Kayleigh said changing the subject.
"Got to wait for Lacey and Nathan" Piper answered Kayleigh.
"Hey you changed their times, nice one" Paige said.
"Only for today" Piper told Paige.
The phone rand and Paige, who was nearest, picked it up.
"Hello, Paige Matthews"
"Mom, I wanna come home"
"Wanna come your meant to be here"
"I know, he won't listen, he says we're staying till 5 as usual"
"Your
not staying till 5, um don't leave the house, piper is coming to get
you"
"Ok mom, thanks bye"
"Bye sweetie"
"Who was it?" piper asked when Paige put the phone down.
"Lacey, Richard won't let them go, you don't mind fetching them do you?" Paige replied.
"Of
course not. I'll take all the girls, and phoebe don't worry about
Amber we'll find her" Piper said.
Phoebe glared at her sisters
before Dex came out of the conservatory with Nathan.
"Hey,
Nathan said you were up" he said walking over to Phoebe.
"Hi,
yeah im up, only just though" Phoebe replied.
5 minutes
later Piper and all the girls had gone to get Lacey and Nathan.
"When
did bex get back?" Phoebe asked Paige.
They were now in the sitting room.
"About 10, I told Jack that we don't like them out that late though" Paige answered.
"You
didn't tell him why did you?" phoebe asked nearly panicking.
"Of
course not, im not that stupid, you can't exactly say to a guy, hey
we don't like your daughter out that late incase a demon attacks you"
Paige remarked.
At that Phoebe let out a laugh.
"What?"
Paige asked.
"The look on his face if we did tell him"
phoebe giggled.
Paige shook her head as Leo orbed in.
"I'm
only here for the boys" he explained.
"All of them or
just Wyatt and Chris?" Paige asked.
"All of them, its
planned" Leo told her.
"Piper's picking up Nathan from
Richard's because he refused to bring them back" Paige told
him.
"Why didn't they orb back?" Leo asked.
"Lacey
doesn't like to use her powers in front of Richard" Paige
explained.
"Ok I'll go round up the others then" Leo
said as he orbed out.
