Chapter Nine

Fourteen Month Reasoning

"Well, I'm going to look for the next demon that needs to be vanquished." Still holding the Book of Shadows Chris orbed up to the attic.

"I have to work on my article, so I'll just be in the conservatory." Phoebe said picking up her lap top and purse where she had placed on the coffee table after she and Chris had orbed in earlier.

Phoebe walked out of the living room making sure to close the sliding doors that separated the living room and the conservatory.

That left Leo and Piper who had to reason with their fourteen month son to shape change Paige from a chimpanzee, back into herself. A task that they knew would not be easy.

Piper sat Wyatt back on the couch and sat down to the right of her son. She sighed deeply as she prepared on what she wanted to say.

Leo sat down on the coffee table in front of his son. "Wyatt, play time is over. It's time to turn Auntie Paige back into Auntie Paige." Leo kindly said as he patted his son's knees.

Wyatt smiled and shook his head no.

Piper turned Wyatt so he was facing her. She frowned but made sure that it was a gentle frown. A frown that only a mommy can do. "Wyatt darling, playtime is over."

Wyatt shook his head.

"Wyatt time to turn Auntie Paige back." Piper said echoing Leo's words.

Wyatt grinned and suddenly orbed taking his mother who was still had her hands on him, with him.

Leo sighed and was about to follow his son, when he heard the jingle from his fellow Elders. He had to take the call, if he ignored the call than he would be taken permanently from Piper and Wyatt. Leo had promised Piper when they finally had the Elder's permission to get married, that he would do everything he had to do for them to be together.

(THE ATTIC)

"I found a demon." Chris said as the blue and white sparkling lights first came into focus. He waited for Leo to form with a slight frown on his face.

"Sorry Chris, but you have to go solo on the demon." Piper sighed as she and Wyatt finished orbing. She picked her son up as she stood to her feet.

"Take it Paige is still a monkey." Chris couldn't keep the grin off of his face.

"Don't let Paige hear you call her that." Piper grimaced. Where Paige had hit her earlier still hurt.

"You are right, Piper, I don't want the beaten that Paige gave you." Chris couldn't keep the laughter in any longer.

"It's not funny young man." Piper looked angrily into Chris's laughing face. She sighed deeply as she walked over to the playpen and placed Wyatt inside.

"Sorry." Chris quickly got his laughter under control. He wrapped his long sleeved arms across his chest. "One good thing came out of this situation at least."

Piper stood straight once again. "Oh, and what pre tale is that?"

"At least Paige can't move out of the manor as long as she's a chimpanzee." Chris seriously said.

Piper sighed. "I wish that she didn't have to be a chimpanzee to keep her at the manor." She went over to the old fashioned sofa that was against the wall that was closets to the door. She sat down. "I wish she would stay because she wanted to."

"Who says Paige doesn't want to?" Chris asked.

Before Piper could answer, blue and white orb lights lit up the attic.

"The Elder's aren't pleased that Paige is a chimpanzee." Leo said with a frown after he finished orbing.

"Did you tell them that Wyatt did the shape changing?" Chris came to stand between his parents and facing the play pen where a very content Wyatt was watching his parents.

"Of course I did." Leo looked a little haughty over at the young white lighter from the future. "The Elder's demand that we turn Paige back into herself now."

Piper rolled her eyes. "We can't shape change Paige back. Only Wyatt can." She looked over at her smiling son. "Wyatt is just being stubborn right now is all."

"The Elders say we can force Wyatt to." Leo said.

"No!" Both Piper and Chris looked shocked at Leo.

Leo held his hands up. "Don't kill the messenger." He lowered his hands. "I all ready told the Elder's that in no circumcises would we force Wyatt into doing anything magical."

"Thank you." Piper nodded over at her ex – husband.

"The Elder's aren't pleased." Leo said.

"What else is new?" Piper snorted.

"I'll go vanquish that demon." With that Chris orbed out.

"We need to find a way to protect you girls until Wyatt decides to shape change Paige back." Leo walked over and placed his right hand on Piper's shoulder.
