Mel spent most of the morning in her office working on the budget for the hospital, something she had been neglecting to do for weeks but figured that she had to sooner or later. Plus it gave her an excuse to hide out for a while. She was trying to process everything that Henry had told her Saturday about her brother. She was worried about him. It had been six months since she seem him last and she had a bad feeling that he was in serious trouble. She made up her mind that she was going to try to find him and help him whether he liked it or not. But she didn't know where to start.
Which brought her back to her second major problem which were Sam and Dean and them being hunters. The only good thing about that was she would have a starting place to look but she didn't know how she could get the information they knew. She couldn't just walk up to them and say hey I would really appreciate it if you would tell me what you know about the demon whose killed all those women who could very well be witches because it killed my assassin sister-in-law and my half-Whitelighter half-witch brother went to go find it and could be in serious danger. That would work out so good with hunters. She chastised herself and laid her head on the desk on top of the budget that she wasn't really paying attention to.
There was a knock on the door and then somebody stepped in. "Long weekend?" a male voice said from the door. Mel looked up to see the doctor that she had talked to briefly with standing in the door. He had on grey dress pants, a white button up shirt and grey tie. His arms were folded across his muscle bound chest as he leaned against the door frame.
"Long day" she answered sitting up. He walked in and closed the door behind him sitting the chair a cross from Mel's desk.
"Anything I can help with" he nodded towards the hospital budget in the desk.
"No this isn't the problem" she motioned towards her work. "This I can handle. It's more personal" she picked up her pen and turned to the next page which was just more words and numbers.
"I'm a great listener" he leaned forward so that his hands where sitting on top of Mel's desk.
She put her pin down and looked at him anything that would get her mind off her problems. "My brother's wife, Kaylie's mom, was killed a few years ago and he has been obsessed with finding her killer and I'm worried that he could get hurt" she summed up leaving out the killer being demonic and has possible killed four other women since then.
"The police don't have any new leads" he asked generally concerned about what Mel was saying.
She shook her head. "No which is why my brother felt the need to go rouge". She put both her hands on back on the desk one in the other. "I haven't heard from him in months I'm just worried"
He placed his hands on top of hers as a mean of comfort. "Mel I was wondering how the budget was- Leo walked in the office his sentence trailing off when he saw and him let go of Mel's hand and sat back in the chair. Leo looked between his daughter and his employee before his eye came back on the doctor.
"Halfway done da- Dr. Wyatt" Mel corrected herself never really getting use to the idea of calling her father by his last name. But Leo wasn't paying her any attention his eyes still glued to the good doctor.
"Well I should get back to my rounds" He stood up quick and walked towards the door.
Leo opened the door wider for him to pass by.
"I'll see you later Mel" he spoke quickly passing Leo. "Leo" he gave him a quick glance before taking off.
"Nathaniel" Leo said watching him pass by. "I want this door open from now on" he instructed to his daughter coming into the office after he was gone.
She gave a short laugh at her fathers unwillingness to let her grow up. "You do know I'm well over eighteen right" she cut her eyes at him and then back to her work.
"It doesn't matter how old you get your still going to be my little girl" he said placing a kiss on her forehead.
She smiled, she loved how protective her father still was even though she would never tell him that. Mel was a daddy's girl and wasn't afraid to admit that to anyone. "Well your little girl is pretty busy right now" she spoke short minutes later. "So if there is something you need speak your peace" she looked at him again.
"Nothing really just wanted to see how the budget was going" he sat down in the chair. Mel knew her father better than most people and knew there was something other than work he wanted to talk about. She put her pencil down and starred at him.
"Daddy" she folded her hands across her desk.
"Princess" he mocked her tone and position but Mel wasn't backing down. "Fine" he caved after five minutes. "There is something I wanted to talk to you about"
She narrowed her eyes at her father and folded her arms across her chest. "I knew it what do you want to talk about"
"I want you to reconsider this whole nursing thing" Mel dropped her hands. Leo had always tried to get her to quiet being a nurse and finish medical school.
"Dad" she started to say but he cut her off.
"I know you are content with where you are but I saw the work you did the other day. I really think that being a doctor a real doctor is your calling" Mel knew her father always wanted her to follow in his footsteps. He had since she was a little girl and told him that she was interested in studying medicine and helping sick people when she was seven. Since then he hadn't let that dream go.
"I have Kaylie to think about now dad and this whole being Charmed thing I can't. I don't have the time" He grabs her hand.
"You won't be charmed your whole life and I don't want you to have regrets about pursuing your dreams when this whole destiny thing is over" She studied the look in her fathers eyes and knew that he wouldn't give up on convincing her. She just wished that he would realized that that was his dream and not hers.
"I'll think about it" she said moments later not wanting to disappoint her dad.
"That's all I ask" He stands and kiss her on her forehead again and leaves. Mel knew no matter how many times she thought about it she was never going to want to become a doctor, but theirs no telling my dad that. She thought and got back to work.

Prue stood at her office window looking out into the city. Her mind too stuck on the events that happened this weekend. Most of it was concerning her wedding. She couldn't believe that in a few short months she was going to be Mrs. Halliwell. All the Halliwell women keeping their maiden name. She starred at her engagement ring and was wondering if she was doing the right thing. Just like Phoebe, Prue was worried about loosing her identity when she got married.
She loved Ryan with all her heart there was no questioning that. But she also loved where their relationship was and didn't see why people always wanted to ruin that by getting married. Of course she wasn't going to voice her doubts about it to Ryan. She didn't want to hurt him. She knew without a single doubt that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.
She gave a heavy sigh and pressed her head against the window. She knew she would have to talk to the girls about this one once they meet for lunch as they did once a week sometimes twice depending how long they went without talking to each other. They all had busy schedules so it was normal for them not to see each other, except for their occasional demon vanquishing.
Prue was so lost in thought she hadn't heard Ryan come in until she felt his arms wrap around her waist. She smiled when he did and he kissed her neck gently. "Penny for your thoughts" his voice and body so close to hers sent shivers through her as it always did when he was close.
"What I was thinking about is standing right here" she turned around and put her arms around his neck placing a small kiss on his lips.
"And how I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you" she kissed his lips again only halfway lying. She did want to spend the rest of her life with him just she wasn't sure if the whole marriage thing was needed for them to spend the rest of their lives together.
He smiled and pulled her closer wrapping his arms tighter around her waist. "The feelings mutual love" he pulled her into a deep kiss that lasted several minutes until both had to come up for air.
Prue gave Ryan a seductive smile and unknotted his tie. "How about we skip lunch and go straight to desert" she took his tie off and dropped it to the floor.
He smirked at her slowly started to undo the buttons on her blazer. "My thoughts exactly love"
"Go lock the door" she instructed slowly backing away from him.
He grabbed her and picked her wrapping her legs around his waist. "Already did" he carried her to the couch and kissed her passionately neither of them coming up for air this time.

Peyton sat at her desk working on some sketches for a single family home she was designing when their was a knock on her door. She looked up to see Ollie standing in front of her carrying a bouquet of lilies, her favorite flowers. She smiled lovingly at him and got up and walked over to him. She took the flowers and then pulled him into a tight hug. "I'm sorry" she whispered and pulled away from him to study his beautiful green eyes.
"I know I have been difficult to be with the last few days" she started. "I just I love our life together just us and having kids would complicate things" she finished.
"Why didn't you say that instead of picking fights and running away" he asked taking her hands in his. "I can understand that" he kiss the palms of her hands.
"You can" she asked relived.
"Of course I love our life together too even with the demons" he caresses the side of her face with his thumb his hand cupping her chin. "And that's because I love you"
"I love you too" she grabbed a hold of his wrist that was on her face. "But if you want to talk about having kids one day then I think I owe it to you to listen"
He smiled cheerfully. "Really you want to talk about it"
"Yes" she grabbed his hand and lead him to her chair behind her desk and sat him down sitting on his lap. He wrapped his hands around her waist.
"When will you be ready to have kids?" he grabbed her hand and kiss it lightly looking at her.
"I don't know give me another year or two" she put an arm around his neck.
"I can live with that" he puts his arms tighter around her waist.
"How many kids do you want" she asked with a raised eyebrow.
"At least three" he kiss her hand again.
"Two and the third one is negotiable" he places a little kiss on her neck.
"Two is okay" he places a bunch of tiny kisses on her jaw line and she slides her eyes close.
"Would you want out first kid to be a boy or a girl" he place her kiss on her neck.
"It doesn't matter as long as I have a girl" he answers into her neck and starts kissing her neck again it sending small shivers through her. She ran out of questions to ask as she just enjoyed his touch. She gave a soft moan when he kissed the soft spot behind her ear. Her eyes flew open as she got up and pushed the chair against the wall.
He smirked at her as she sat back on his lap her arms wrapped around his neck. "You know the best part about fighting is making up"
He smirked and smashed his lips against hers pulling her closer.

Mel looked at the clock when she was done with the hospital budget. It was a little of seven o clock and she had been working on the budget for most of the day. Nathan had came in the office to offer help after his shift ended. She gladly took it this time wanting to get home as fast as she could to be with Kaylie and knew if she went at it alone that would have been impossible.
"We're finally done" she announced closing the heavy book running his hands through her hair. She checked her phone and saw that she had a few missed calls from the house. She knew that it would be Kaylie calling to ask where she was sicne she would normally would be home by now. She called her house and told Nancy to put Kaylie on the phone.
"Where are you?" Kaylie said as soon she got on the phone.
"I'm at work but I'm on my way home now" she spoke into the phone looking at the clock. "Have you ate yet"
"No I was waiting for you" she could hear how upset Kaylie was that she wasn't home yet.
"Okay so how about we go out for pizza and ice cream" she bribed hopping that would cheer her up and it worked she could pratcically see Kaylie smiling. "Okay sweetie I will be home in an hour and we can go"
"Okay. Love you" Kaylie said cheerfully.
"I love you too. I'll see you soon" she hung up the phone and started gathering her things.
"Your really good with her" Nathan spoke after she got off the phone. "She's lucky to have you"
"I'm the lucky one" she glanced up at him and grabbed the budget to drop it off.
Nathan stood with her and walked her too the door. "Thanks for your help. I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten done this early without you"
He smiled. "My pleasure, anytime I get to spend with you I'm grateful for" he looked down child like.
She smiled at him and kissed him on his cheek. She turned to leave but he grabbed her arm stopping her and place a soft kiss on her lips. She dropped her things and put her arms around his neck deepening the kiss pulling him closer to her. He pulled away and smiled at her placing his forehead on hers, both breathless. "You have no idea how long I wanted to do that"
She smiled and looked at him. "I think I do" she pulled him closer again bringing her lips to his in a deeper kiss than before. He picks her up and wraps her legs around his waist and maneuvers so that her back is against the wall. Her hands come from around his neck and she locks the door. He smiles at her and carries her over to her desk knocking everything off the desk and placing her on there.
She smiles at him and kiss again until her phones goes. She suddenly remembers Kaylie and she looks at him. "Sorry daughter"
"Right" he says and gets off her and helps her up and gathers her things. She leaves out but not before placing a deeper kiss on his lips.
