Chapter 10

Halloween at Darryl's house

"Ok boys it's Chris's birthday today, are either of you coming" Darryl asked during breakfast.

"I'll come, I got him a present" Darryl Jr. stated.

"I can't I've got a date" Mikey revealed.

"With who" Sheila asked

"A new girl at school" Mikey replied and headed to the skink with his bowl and spoon.

At eleven thirty Darryl, Sheila and Darryl Jr. dressed up for the party. When they headed out, they left Mikey playing videogames in his pajamas, his date wasn't until four. The Morris family arrived at Halliwell manor shortly before the part began, and saw Billie walking up to the manor holding Ginny's hand with Austin beside them.

"Hey guys come on in" Piper stated in the doorway as Darryl and his family caught up to Billie and hers.

As usual the manor was filled with screaming kids, which Ginny joined in on when she spotted Preston in the living room. Darryl Jr. followed his parents inside and joined Wyatt and Chris in the kitchen. Darryl and Sheila joined the other adults in the living room as usual.

"Happy eleventh birth Chris" Daryl Jr. said giving him a high five.

"Thanks."

"Come on boys, let's head to the living room" Wyatt suggested and they did just that.

"So any update on Chris" victor asked.

"He hasn't changed all that much this year" Piper replied.

"Well that will change this year, eleven is Darryl over hear started being into girls" Darryl stated.

"Oh great thanks dad" Darryl Jr. stated.

"Well Chris is already into girls" Leo stated.

"Oh dad" Chris stated embarrassed.

Meanwhile at home a few hours later Mikey was getting ready for his date. He couldn't drive yet, which wasn't a problem since the girl he was going out with lived a few doors down. When his date Tori opened the door Mikey was shocked how beautiful she looked. He complemented her on this and they walked a few streets to a cozy little restaurant.

Back at the Halliwell manor Darryl Jr. was up in Wyatt and Chris' room. Downstairs almost all of the other kids were on time out. Tamora and Kat had been caught trying to eat the birthday cake with Payton, Preston and Ginny. Melinda was on time out for hitting her father, she had been acting up since she found out she was going to be a big sister.

"How do live with all this chaos" Darryl Jr. asked.

"We're used to it, but it's hard at times" Chris replied.

"Especially when the littles get into your stuff" Wyatt added.

"Yeah when the twins or Melinda does it we can yell at them, but the little ones we're not allowed to yell at" Chris explained.

For the supper the Halliwell's simply ordered a pizza, it was the easiest thing to do. Daryl Jr. ate before the adults with the other children. While the kids ate Prue fed Paris her baby food. The adults ate after the kids were finished then it was time to bring out the cake.

Piper and Leo came into the kitchen holding the cake while singing the birthday song. They placed the cake down on the table in-front of Chris who blew out the candles after making a wish. Once the cake was served and eaten it was time for Chris to get his presents. Darryl. Jr. went first and was happy Chris liked the video game he had gotten him.

Darryl, Sheila and Darryl Jr. got home around eight that night. Darryl Jr. went up to his room while his parents waited in the living room for Mikey to get home. Mikey hated when his parents hung around to see how his dates went, so he tried to sneak up to his room when he got home half an hour later.

"How was it" Sheila asked catching him half way up the stairs

"It was fine"

"Did you kiss her?"

"Oh mom come on"

"Oh alright fine, good night" Sheila called up the stairs as Mikey slipped out of view.

"So did you kiss her" Darryl Jr. asked.

"I'm not telling you, now get out of my room you little pest" Mikey ordered.

The next day after breakfast Sheila brought the boys Halloween shopping, while Darryl headed off to work. Soon after he got to work his boss laid a new case file on his desk for him to solve. Darryl read threw it, a twelve year old boy seen throwing another child across an alley. Darryl signed as he noticed the boy looked like Wyatt.

"Hi Darryl, is something up" Paige asked when she opened the door to find him standing there.

"I need to speak with Wyatt, is he home?"

"Yea, Wyatt Darryl need to talk to you" Paige called out.

"Hey Darryl" Wyatt greeted when he approached the door."

"Wyatt were you in the alley on Rich street vanquishing a child last night" Darryl asked.

"Yea, oh did I get caught?"

"Yea, I'll take care of it say it was just a fight and that the other child is fine, just be more careful when handling your magic jobs" Darryl stated and Wyatt nodded.

After a long day of work Darryl arrived home to find a hundred or more shopping bags at home. Sheila and the boys were in the living room decorating for the Halloween party, which was taking place on Halloween night a few days from then. He helped them for a while then headed upstairs for a long soothing shower.

"Honey come down please" Sheila called only moments later.

Darryl came down in his house coat and found Parker Halliwell sitting on his couch with another girl around the same age. Parker explained the girl had followed her home and claimed he parents were lost. Darryl walked Parker home and took the other girl to the station. It turned out the girls' parents had picked her up from the park because they had gotten stuck in the traffic on their way.

On Halloween morning Darryl and his family made all the Halloween treats for the party. BY the time they were done it was almost time for the gusts to begin arriving. The entire Halliwell family came like every year, followed by the other guests including Mikey's new crush. To embarrass her son more Sheila took it upon herself to introduce herself to Tori.

"Sorry" Mikey apologized.

"No worries, I have parents too" Tori replied.

As the games began and the music started Darryl Jr. found his entertainment elsewhere. Bugging Tori by asking her a million random questions. Finally Mikey got annoyed and called over his parents who made Darryl Jr. leave them alone. So he found Wyatt and hung out with him for the remainder of the party.

The Halliwell's had to leave early since the younger kids, who didn't know when or when not to use magic, were getting cranky. However Wyatt wanted to stay so Sheila suggested he stay the night and have a sleep over with Darryl Jr. Piper and Leo agreed and Wyatt promised to behave and use no magic.

"You boys can stay up as late as you want, just don't make too much noise" Darryl stated and he and Sheila began cleaning up two hours later.

Darryl Jr. brought Wyatt up to his room and they started their sleep over by playing Darryl Jr.'s favorite videogame. Half an hour later they were bored so they put on a scary Halloween movie, that almost compared to the terror Wyatt faced every week. After the movie they shared scary stories, which Wyatt had plenty of, but he only shared the mildly scary ones. Darryl junior knew Wyatt was magic and found it cool that Wyatt got to fight evil every day, but Wyatt never understood when Darryl said he wanted to as well.

"It's a death wish" Wyatt stated.

"You're still around" Darryl Jr. pointed out.

"I have powers, I can protect myself" Wyatt stated.

The next morning Wyatt stated for breakfast, eggs and toast. Darryl then brought him home on his way to work, Wyatt got to ride in a cop car which he found cool. Once he got home he joined his mom on their next demon mission.
