CHRIS 7
Jade had gotten morning sickness this morning and I really felt for her – I knew it wasn't going to be an easy pregnancy. So I made breakfast, something which didn't make her throw up, which was a plus for her no doubt. I was just cleaning up the dishes so mum didn't have to do them when she burst into tears. To say I was confused was a major understatement. She sat there and cried into her hands and I really didn't know what to do – it was the first time I had to deal with an emotional pregnant woman and for the fact Jade hardly ever cries.
So I slowly took her in my arms and just held her, maybe the past couple of day's events were just too much for her, I didn't know. After only a couple of minutes she abruptly stopped crying and squirmed out of my arms, looking at me sheepishly.
"I have no idea what that was" she stated with a nervous chuckle as she stood up blushing a deep red up to her hair roots. I couldn't help but laugh as I kissed her hand.
"Don't worry about it" I said and walked with her out of the kitchen. She wiped the few remaining tear stains from her cheeks just as Phoebe walked through the front door.
"Hello, anybody ho…" she started but trailed off when she saw us walking towards her. Immediately a smile made its way to her face and she bounced over to us.
"Hey guys, how's' my favourite futurelings from the future?" she asked. I just rolled my eyes in amazement at my aunt Phoebe. She never changes.
Jade smiled and nodded. "We're good" she replied but Phoebe must've seen her tear stained face and went into Phoebe worry mode.
"Oh honey, are you okay? Why were you crying?" she asked with concern evident on her face.
"Because Chris made me breakfast" she replied as her bottom lip stuck out no doubt trying not to burst into tears again.
Phoebe raised her eyebrows at me but I just replied with a confused shrug. I would never understand women no matter how much I tried. Phoebe sent me another confused look before turning back to Jade.
"Well that's…nice" she stated uncertainly and Jade nodded.
"Why are you home so early? Aren't you supposed to be at work?" I asked. Phoebe loves her job and the only time she would miss it is if there was an urgent charmed duty.
"Oh, I hit a dog and had to take it to the vets. Poor little thing just came out of nowhere" she replied, frowning. Huh. Phoebe was always a careful driver and I was amazed at how she could hit a dog, but before I could ask if it was okay Jade interrupted.
"You hit a dog?" she asked/screeched, it was kind of hard to determine which one. Tears were pooling in her eyes and she gripped my hand tighter to the point where it got a little sore.
Phoebe looked taken aback by her reaction and nodded uncertainly. "It's okay though, just a few stitches needed nothing to worry about" she reassured her looking a bit panicked.
Jade frowned and I pulled her into my side stroking her hair assuring her everything was okay – even though it was only a dog. Phoebe had her mouth gaping open slightly looking quite alarmed at the turn of events.
"Hormones" I whispered over Jades' head and Phoebe nodded as realisation dawned on her. Jade once again escaped my arms looking flustered.
"God, I'm sorry, I don't know what is wrong with me" she exclaimed furiously wiping her eyes with her hands. Phoebe smiled sympathetically.
"It's okay, Piper was all over the place too" she said and Jade took my hand once again. I kissed the top of head.
"Well I need to get to work or Elise will have my head" Phoebe stated and picked up her laptop that she must've forgotten before turning around and walking to the door. But before she got there five demons shimmered in front of her. One threw her against the wall and the others conjured fireballs in their hands. I immediately pushed Jade behind me to protect her.
"Run" I urged her but she looked uncertain, worry glistening in her crystal blue eyes. "Run" I requested again and she nodded taking me seriously and disappearing into the kitchen.
I turned back to the demons and dodged their fireballs. I TK one into the wall and saw Phoebe groggily standing up and levitating in the air kicking one of the demons through the front door. Another one came at me throwing a fireball but I telekinetically (?) threw it back at him and he burst into flames. Another one soon followed but I orbed out of the way confusing it. I rematerialized behind him and used its knife that was hidden in its robes to stab it. It soon combusted into nothing.
I turned back to phoebe and saw her killing another demon. She kicked one in the ribs that sent it flying backwards and knocking me over so I was flat on my back. I hit my head pretty hard on the floor which took me a few moments to get my bearings. But by that time the demon had already picked me up and pushed me into the wall and put its hands around my neck.
I dimly saw Phoebe attack another demon before I started seeing stars. My head felt foggy and I didn't even have enough energy to raise my arms. Then all of a sudden the demon collapsed on the floor just as I slid down the wall. Jade stood behind him holding a large metal pole of some sort. The demon stood up and swiped at Jade angrily but she ducked and stabbed him in the stomach and he burst into flames. Phoebe vanquished the demon she was fighting at the same time and the house went eerily quiet.
Jade kneeled on front of me and took my head in her hands.
"Hey Chris, you okay?" she asked softly, worry showing in her eyes. I nodded slowly, wincing at the pain that shot up my neck. She took my hands and pulled me up but I stumbled slightly. She gripped my arms to stop me from falling. Phoebe then came over rubbing her side and looking at us like we were about to drop dead – not a good look I got to admit.
"You guys okay?" she asked "I didn't think we would have a demon attack so soon" she admitted rubbing Jade's arm. We nodded bit I saw Jade scrunch her face up and grip her wrist.
"Jade?" I asked forgetting about my pain and concentrating on her. I took her hand and saw her wince in pain. Her wrist looked a little swollen and beginning to bruise.
"It's okay, probably just a sprain" she said but I didn't believe she was okay. Phoebe looked at me but I was focused on Jade.
"Hey it's okay I'll call dad" I said and she nodded. Well this is just a great start to the day.
A little short but I wanted to post something real quick. The next chapter will longer and up soon! Reviews are appreciated, they make me happy!
