Chapter 9
September (The first day of school)
At 7:00 a.m. it was time to get the kids ready for the first day of school. Leo entered the boy's room and woke up his two sons. The boys slowly woke up and orbed down to the kitchen. Leo joined them and the others shortly orbed or beamed in. Once everyone was seated Piper served waffles with orange juice.
"Ok kids remember no magic talk at school" Phoebe reminded the children.
Once they were done eating, the kids got dressed. Wyatt put on a plain grey t-shirt and a new pair of jean shorts. Chris put on a plain light brown t-shirt and dark brown shorts. Melinda put on a plain pink t-shirt, a jean skirt and black leggings.
Tamora put on a light blue t-shirt that had a white butterfly on it, along with a jean skirt and white leggings. Kat put on a light purple t-shirt that had a white daisy on it, along with a jean skirt and light pink leggings. Henry Jr. put on a grey t-shirt that had a dump truck on it, and bage shorts.
P.J. put on a plain yellow t-shirt and a pair of jean shorts. Phoebe put Parker in a red dress with small black polka dots, along with black nylons. Andy put Payton in a light green dress with white nylons.
Next was the hair, the boys simply just brushed their hair. Melinda brushed her long brown hair, then piper tied it into a ponytail. Paige tied Kat's long red hair into two braids on the side, same with Tamora. Both P.J. and Parker had their long brown hair loose. Prue tied Payton's hair in two ponytails on the sides.
Once the children were ready, they stood in a line by the front door. Henry turned on the camera and filmed them.
"Here are the school children of 2012. In grade four we have the king of the playground…Wyatt Matthew Halliwell. In grade 3 we have the one the only…Chris Perry Halliwell. In their last year of kindergarten we have the queens of trouble…Melinda, P.J., Kat and Tamora. In his first year of kindergarten is the king of cool… Henry Mitchell Junior. And finally the girl who owns the pre-school and her cousin who follow in her footsteps... Parker and Payton Halliwell."
After that dramatic moment, Phoebe walked the elementary school children to the bus stop. Meanwhile Henry drove Parker and Payton to pre-school. When they arrived at the elementary school, Wyatt and Chris brought the young ones to the kindergarten fenced in play area.
"Good morning children" Mrs. Wellington said.
"Hi, Chris and I are dropping of the girls and the twin's little brother Henry" Wyatt informed.
"Well look at you helping out your parents. I'll take them from here" Mrs. Wellington said and opened the gate to let the girls and Henry in.
Wyatt and Chris then walked to the playground. Dakota, Kennedy and Austin ran to them. The five of them hugged then ran off to the playground together.
Meanwhile Henry arrived at the pre- school. Henry took the hands of Parker and Payton, and together they entered the school. Mrs. Grace spotted them so she approached them.
"Good morning Mr. Mitchell, hello Parker" Mrs. Grace said.
"Morning, I'm dropping off Parker and Payton Halliwell" Henry stated.
Henry kissed his nieces goodbye then signed them in. Back at the school, the bell rang so the children gathered around the teachers by the door. The teacher's called out the names of their students, and the kids lined up in-front of the teacher who called their names.
Wyatt followed his classmates and teacher into the school and into a class room. Wyatt sat at a desk in-between Dakota and Kennedy. Austin sat behind Dakota so he could still talk with his friends.
"Good morning class and welcome to grade four. I'm your teacher, Mrs. Jones" the teacher said facing the class.
"As you know we must take attendance, so when I call your name say here" Mrs. Jones instructed.
"Wyatt Halliwell"
"Here."
In his class, Chris sat at a desk beside Zack. Their teacher wrote his name on the chalk board…Mr. Dawson. Mr. Dawson then began taking attendance.
"Chris Halliwell"
"Here."
"Are you Wyatt's little brother" Mr. Dawson asked.
"Yes I am" Chris responded.
In SK Mrs. Hudson had the children sit on the carpet. Of course Melinda, P.J. and the twins sat together. Mrs. Hudson sat on a chair in-front of them.
"Good morning children, I am Mrs. Hudson. We are going to have a great year together."
"Before we begin would like to introduce two new girls at our school, who are in our class" Mrs. Hudson said and got the new girls to stand beside her.
"Boys and girls say hello to Rosie and Lily, they're twins" Mrs. Hudson introduced.
"You had me at twins" Tamora stated as she and Kat got up.
"Hi I'm Tamora and this is my twin Kat. These are our cousins Melinda and P.J."
"Oh twin besties" Lily stated and sat down her sister, Kat and Tamora.
In the pre-school Mrs. Grace had the kids sit on the magic carpet in a circle.
"Good morning boys and girls, I'm Mrs. Grace."
Mrs. Grace asked all the returning children (the 3 year olds who were the last year) to raise their hands and introduce themselves. Parker raised her hand with the other returning children and introduced herself. Mrs. Grace then had all the new children (the 2 year olds or 3 year olds that were new to the pre-school) to do the same. Payton raised her hand with the other new kids and introduced herself, not only as Payton Halliwell as but also as Parker's cousin.
In grade 4, Wyatt was working on English. The assignment was to write a whole page on what he did over the summer. Wyatt then read his paper out loud to the class.
"This summer was awesome. My friend Billy had a baby in July. I was not there I was at camp. Mom told me the baby is a girl and her name is Ginny. There was also 3 birthdays in August, my mom, my aunt Paige and my cousin Parker."
In grade 3 Chris was also doing English. His assignment was to write half a page about his family. He then read it out loud to his teacher and classmates.
"My name is Chris Perry Halliwell. I live with my mom Piper, my dad Leo, my big brother Wyatt who is 9 and my little sister Melinda, she is 5. I also live with my mom's 3 sisters, Prue Phoebe and Paige, and their husbands, Andy Coop and Henry. I live with my cousins to. My five year old cousins Tamora, Kat and P.J., Tamora and Kat's four year old adopted Brother Henry Junior, and P.J.'s three year old sister Parker. I live with my two year old cousin Payton, who's about to be a big sister because my auntie Prue is about to have a baby."
"Aunt Prue is a photographer, which means she takes pictures. Uncle Andy is a doctor, but he doesn't work in town. Mom is a chef and has her own restaurant called the Halliwell's, I love eating there she's the best cook in the world. Daddy is a teacher, he teaches special children but not here his school is out of town. Auntie Phoebe writes advice in the newspaper, and uncle Coop stays at home to take care of the kids who can't go to school or daycare. Auntie Paige is a social worker who places abused kids or orphans in better homes. Uncle Henry is a patrol officer, he helps the bad kids turn good again, and this is a hard job because sometimes the bad kids want to be bad." Chris continued reading.
In SK the kids were at their tables working on spelling two letter words. The teacher said a word out loud and the children tried to spell it out on paper. The words were only two letters long like: at, of, to, so, no, go, up. None of the girls had any problems with this, they had practiced at home with their parents.
In JK the kids were tracing letters in their work books. They were only tracing A and b. Henry found it easy to do the A's but found it tricky to do the capital B, although the lowercase b was easy for him.
In the pre-school the kids were coloring in coloring books. Parker and Payton sat beside each other and colored the same picture. The picture they were coloring was a bedroom with a small dog sleeping on the bed.
At the elementary school it was first recess. Wyatt and his friends found Chris and they all walked to the playground together. They decided to play a game of tag and Chris was it first since he was the youngest. Chris gave his brother and friends ten seconds to run before chasing after them. It was long before he caught Carter.
Carter gave the other time to run then chased after them. Kennedy suddenly stopped and Carter came crashing into her. After helping her up he touched her should and said "you're it." Kennedy gave them a moment to run and then chased after them.
In the kindergarten fenced in play area Henry spotted his sisters and ran to give them a hug. After the hug Tamora and Kat introduced their new twin friends to their little brother. Then the five of them found P.J. and Melinda and they all started a game of racing.
At the pre-school it was time for recess as well. Parker and Payton rode around on the baby bikes for a few minutes. Then they switched to the cars and gave the other children rides for pretend money.
In grade 4 Wyatt was back in class and it was time for math. Mrs. Jones handed out the work sheets and told the children to try their best and not to worry if they had to skip one. Wyatt looked down it was the 3 times tables. Wyatt knew how to do the 0, 1, 2 and 5 times tables, but the threes proved to be a challenge for him.
In grade 3 Chris was doing history, his class was learning about the pioneer times. The teacher handed out the text book and directed the students to the page. After reading it to his class Mr. Dawson handed out the question sheets. Chris was able to do some but needed help with a few questions. So Mr. Dawson kindly helped him with it.
In SK the kids were at their tables working on art. They were learning how to use markers to color printed out pictures. Melinda was able to do it without making a mess, but P.J. had marker all over hands. Tamora and Kat did it on purpose to color their hands, then when they got bored they colored each other's faces. Tamora gave Kat whiskers because her name, and Kat colored Tamora's nose red because she loved Rudolph.
The other children found it funny but Mrs. Hudson did not. After cleaning them up, Mrs. Hudson gave their girls a warning. When they ignored the warning and did it again, the twins were put on a five minute time out.
In JK Henry was tracing his letters in his work book. He would be learning the numbers 1-20 throughout the school year. Henry had no problems tracing the letter 1 then writing it on his own over and over again until he ran out of lines on the page.
It was now third period, in grade 4 Wyatt was learning history. His class was learning about the medieval times. Wyatt found the magic parts to be a load of crap, he knew Merlin was not the most power full wizard, Wyatt's family was. However he didn't say anything because he can't tell anyone about magic being real.
In grade 3 Chris was doing math. His teacher passed out the question sheets and helped the children with the first few. After that the kids did the rest on their own based on the ones the teacher had helped them with. They started off by just doing the 0 and 1 times tables since those are the simplest. Chris didn't find this too challenging.
In SK the kids began learning the letters 21 and 22. Over the year they would learn the number 21-35, and would begin learning the most basic addition. Tracing letters was too easy for the twins who completed the task in second then doodled on the pages.
The rest of the day was great. All of the children had a great first day of school. When they got home they couldn't stop talking about their first day. Even Payton who had never talked so much in her life.
Then on the 17th of September Prue was brought to the hospital when her water broke. She had been brought to the hospital an hour before the children had to school. On the way to pick up the children Piper and Paige received a call from Andy informing them the baby had just been born. Once everyone was at the hospital, including Billie, Darryl and Sheila, Pure and Andy introduced their new baby boy.
"Everyone I would like you to meet… Preston Morris Halliwell" Prue and Andy introduced.
"Aww thanks guys, Darryl and Sheila thanked since Morris was their last name.
"Yeah well I figured it was about time we name one after you guys, you are our closest friends" Prue stated.
Everyone took turn holding the new baby boy. Piper took a picture for the Billiton bored of baby pictures they had made the previous month. The next day Prue was able to bring Preston home for the first time. The whole family was excited to welcome home the newest addition to the Halliwell family.
(Sorry it's been such a long time since I've uploaded. My best friend and I have been writing a Harry potter fanfiction, which you can find on my fan fiction account. So that and my upcoming exams have had me really busy, and I don't know when I'll be able to upload the next chapter of this fan fiction, but don't worry I will eventually. Also I didn't have time to go through this chapter and edit so very sorry about the mistakes, I don't usually have time to edit.)
