Chapter 11

May (The arrival of double trouble and a bet)

It was a week into May, Henry was packing a bag filled with the bay stuff because Paige's water had just broken and she was in labour. Paige managed to orb them to the hospital, where a nurse spotted them and took them into the delivery room. Henry pulled out his cell phone from his coat pocket and called Piper.

"HI Piper its Henry, Paige is in labour"

"Ok I'll be right there, I'll wait in the waiting room" Piper answered

Henry hung up with Piper and called phoebe and told her the same thing. Piper arrived at the hospital and was soon joined by Phoebe. In their delivery room things weren't going as planned.

"Mrs. Mathews, you have to have a C-section"

"Well ok, if there's no other choice" Paige hesitantly agreed.

Henry was told to wait in the waiting room and didn't take him to long to spot the girls. Right away with her power of empathy, Phoebe knew Henry was scared and worried.

"What happened, don't lie I can sense your emotions" Phoebe asked

"Paige went in for an emergency C- Section, something about one of the twin's head being stuck" Henry explained.

The girls put their arms around him and Piper said "Don't worry she's going to be ok, Paige is a tuff girl, and it runs in the family so I wouldn't worry about the twins." Even with that said, deep down the three of them were all worried. Piper and Phoebe held hands as they waited for any news, then two hours later, a doctor came and called "Henry Mathews."

"That's me, is she ok" Henry said getting up

"Yes your wife is fine and you have to healthy baby girls, you can go to see them" The doctor answered

"Can they come now too, they're her sisters" Henry asked pointing to the girls.

"Ok but just you three, we don't want Paige overwhelmed."

Piper and Phoebe held hands as they followed Henry and the doctor to Paige. Paige beckoned them in. After giving her a hug, two nurses came with the twins and gave them to Paige. Everyone smiled at them.

"This one will be Kat" Paige said looking at the one she was holding with her right arm

"And this one Tamora, they're identical twins, so I have no idea how to tell them apart."

"Colour code them, you know with socks or something, like one twin always has pink socks and the other always has purple" Piper suggested.

Henry and Paige agreed and Henry opened the bag he had packed and pulled out pink socks, then they put them on Kat's tiny feet. Then they put purple socks on Tamora's tiny feet. For the next hour Phoebe, Piper and Henry took turns holding the twins. Then the doctor came back and informed them some visitors where here. Paige allowed them to enter, so the doctor step aside and Leo, Wyatt, Chris, Melinda, Coop, Darryl and Sheila came in.

"Hey boys come here" Paige called over Wyatt and Chris.

"Meet your new baby cousins, this is Kat and Tamora"

"Hi babies" Wyatt said while Chris said nothing and just kissed them instead

"Darryl, Sheila, would you like to hold them" Paige offered

They nodded and took the twins into their arms, it reminded of them of when they held their boys when they were newborns. After a few minutes, Sheila gave Kat to Leo to hold and Darryl gave Tamora to Coop to hold. Piper who was holding Melinda came over to Leo and introduced Melinda to her new cousin, and did the same with Kat. A little while later visiting hours were over.

Two days later, Paige and the twins were released from the hospital, and Henry convinced Paige to let him drive them home, which he had been instructed to do by Piper who wanted Paige to remain well rested. When they arrived at their apartment, Piper, Leo, Phoebe, Coop, Billie and the little ones greeted them, on the wall was a banner that said "Welcome home double trouble Halliwells." Paige laughed at banner as she hugged her sisters, Billie and nephews.

Henry and Leo tended to the twins while Paige received enveloped from everyone. Paige curiously opened the envelope that had "To Paige and Henry from Leo and Piper" written on the front, and pulled out three twenty dollar bills.

"Oh Piper you shouldn't have, are you sure we want to give us all this money" Paige said

"I'm sure, it's just a little something to start you and Henry off with the twins" Piper replied and Paige her hugged her.

Paige then opened the second envelope that had "To my sister and nieces, from Auntie Phoebe and uncle Coop," and pulled out a small card business people give you with contact information, this one belonged to a lady who ran a mommy and twin group.

"It's a group my co- worker told me about, you can go in with the twins every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday with until they're three, it's a class where you're taught how to handle situations with twins" Phoebe explained

"Thank you, you're a life saver, I have no idea what I'm doing" Paige said giggling as she Hugged Phoebe and Coop.

"This one is from me and Chris" Wyatt said as he handed Paige a lumpy envelope.

Paige opened the envelope and pulled out a badly folded piece of paper. Paige unfolded it and smiled as she looked at, it was a drawing of the whole family they boys had drawn. Paige hugged the boys and thanked them, after she brought them into the kitchen where they saw her put the drawing on the fridge. This made the boys feel all proud of themselves and happy that Page liked it.

That night didn't go well for Piper and her family. Just when they started thinking they boys were getting used to Melinda crying in the night, they started sounding the alarm again. This time tough the boys looked scared, really scared and refused to sleep in their room and insisted on sleeping in Melinda's room so Wyatt could protect his siblings with his orb shield. When Melinda would cry, Wyatt turned on his orb shield which prevented even Piper and Leo from taking Melinda out of her crib. Leo couldn't do anything he only got his power of orbing and healing back to help protect his family, but he couldn't orb her out of her Crib, only the boys and Paige could do that.

"Ok Wyatt honey, let's make a deal ok, if you let daddy and I take Melinda out of her crib I promise she won't leave the room" Pipe said desperately trying to get Wyatt to take down his shield.

Wyatt considered and agreed, he took down the orb shield and Piper took Melinda out of her crib and waited for Leo to back in with a bottle for her. Once Melinda was taken care of piper put her back in her crib and Wyatt put his orb shield back up. Then they got a surprise when the bedroom door suddenly closed as they were about to leave.

"Don't go" Wyatt pleaded

"Wyatt honey did you make the door close" Piper asked

Wyatt nodded and Piper and Leo exchanged shocked looks.

"Can you show daddy how you did that" Leo asked

Wyatt nodded, blinked his eyes and made some books fly off the bookshelf

"You don't think, could he, is it possible" Piper whispered to Leo

"Yeah I think Wyatt got Prue's Telekinesis power" Leo whispered back.

"Why is he so scared" Piper asked

"Try asking him" Leo suggested.

"Wyatt honey, can you tell mommy why you're scared to sleep in your room and why you have your orb shield up" Piper asked.

"If she cries it could call the demons" Wyatt explained

"The come when I'm sleeping, when sister cries" Wyatt added.

"OK, I want you to know you're safe and so is Chris and Melinda, but if you feel like you need to use your shield you can ok" Piper said

Wyatt nodded and orbed in blankets and pillows with Chris. Piper and Leo went to sleep on the floor beside the boys. Wyatt kept his shield up around everyone in his sleep. Chris came right between his parents where felt safest.

Meanwhile things weren't going great at Paige's house. The twins took turns needing something, when Paige or Henry took care of one the other was fine, then just as they were starting to doze off the other decided to start crying. This happened all night long, the next day the only one who wasn't exhausted was Phoebe and Coop that was going to change once their baby was born.

The next morning Paige and Piper met up at the coffee shop with the babies. Neither of them were in a very talkative mood and they were both yawing like there was no tomorrow.

"So when one twin wants something the other one is fine, but as soon as we go to bed that twin decides to need something after all, I swear they're doing this on purpose" Paige complained as she took a big sip of her coffee.

"Well Wyatt has developed Prue's power, can already tell it's going to be trouble, the boys are scared of demons coming when Melinda cries because apparently in their dreams that what happens approaching to a four and two year old. How am I supposed to take care of a baby that is constantly being protected by her stubborn four year old brother?" Pipe rented.

"You know what, let's switch lives, you and Leo go stay at my place for a week and live with the devil twins, Henry and I will live at the manor for a week and live life with the boys and Melinda" Paige suggested.

"That could be interesting, you know Phoebe's been complaining about how we have all the fun while she still has to wait 8 months." Piper said

"Yeah she should be at home right now, Phoebe Halliwell" Paige called out, at her command Phoebe orbed into the chair next to them looking confused.

"Ok sis here's the deal, you want to experience life as a mother, and we have an Idea." Paige explained

"That's right, you and Coop will stay at Paige's house with the twins for a whole week, While Paige and Henry battle my life for a week, as for Leo and I, and we'll be living your life at your house" Piper explained.

"You're crazy you know that, let's do it Paige orb us home to tell the husbands" Phoebe agreed.

An hour later Phoebe and coop arrived at Paige's house, after a quick hug and saying "They're in the nursery good luck" Paige and Henry orbed to the manor where Piper and Leo were waiting for them. Piper whished them good luck and told them the kids where in the living room, then without another word Leo orbed them to Phoebe and Coops house.

After making spaghetti, Paige, Henry, they boys and Melinda were seated at the table ready to eat. As Paige fed Melinda her bottle of milk, Chris orbed all of Wyatt's spaghetti into his bowl. To get revenge not only did Wyatt take back his food but he also orbed all the milk in Chris sippy cut into his cup.

"Auntie Paige, Wyatt orb stole my milk" Chris snitched

"Chris started it when he orb stole my spaghetti into his bowl" Wyatt whined.

As Paige was about to speak, Chris orbed Wyatt's milk into his sippy cup, so Wyatt used his new power to make the cap on the sippy cup fly off as Chris tipped it over to drink, which caused all the mil to spill on him. Just When Chris was about to rob his spaghetti on Wyatt, Paige interfered "Spaghetti" she said waving her hand to the floor so that it landed there instead of on Wyatt.

"Ok boys, it's time to stop once and while at party when everyone thinks it's funny, a food fight is ok, but not when it's just supper time at home, so clean this up and finish eating" Paige told them.

They boys obeyed and just when Paige thought herself 'this is too easy" Chris orbed four glasses of milk on Paige's head. Paige gave Melinda to Henry and waved her hand at Chris angrily saying "Room." Chris was then orbed to his room and Wyatt just kept n picking up his mess knowing it was not time to test Auntie Paige. As a reward for cleaning up as asked, Paige let Wyatt have some ice cream, what she didn't know was that he kept orbing more in his bowl every time he finished, but Henry caught on soon. Henry took it away from him, so Wyatt used his new power to make the bowl fly out of Henry's hands crashing onto the floor in little pieces.

Paige orbed Wyatt to his room for a time out too, and she then orbed the broken glass into the garbage can. Paige notices a small cut from the glass on Henry's foot so healed it for him. That when she caught her one month old niece levitating. Paige acted on instinct and hurried over to her and held her in her arms. That when she found out why Piper needed a break.

At bed time the boys kept orbing their beds into Melinda's room no matter how many time Paige orbed them back to their own room. Finally Paige gave up and ticked the boys in bed in Melinda's room. After hugs and kisses Wyatt turned on his shield cover himself, Wyatt and Melinda. Paige tuned out the light and closed the door then made her way to the book of shadows to look up any dream demons. Paige didn't find anything and soon henry called for her saying Wyatt wouldn't let him take Melinda who needed a changing.

Meanwhile at Paige's house, Phoebe and Coop weren't having much luck either with the twins. They had managed to take care of Kat, but Tamora had refused a bottle. So they thought she wasn't hungry, put the girls in their cribs and tried to go to bed, but just as they got in bed Tamora started crying. Phoebe tried giving a bottle and Tamora drank with no hesitation. Then when Phoebe crawled back into bed she and her husband drifted off to sleep, only to be woken 20 m minutes later. Coop got up this time, changed Tamora's diaper checked Kat's then when back to bed, as soon as he got in bed, Kat started crying again, so Phoebe got up and it turned out she needed a diaper change.

All night long as Piper and Leo slept soundly in the quiet of Phoebe and Coops home, Phoebe and Coop struggled with the twins, and Paige and Henry kept running into problems, Wyatt refused to take down his shield and used his power to move Paige out of the room, and when she orbed in the nursery, Chris just orbed her back out. The only time they allowed to take her was when she was hungry, that's the only time they also got to change her diapers too.

When Leo and Piper returned at the end of the week Paige literally ran up a hugged them like they had been gone for a year, Paige did have good news for them though.

"I vanquished the demon of dreams, a demon that enter children's dreams and scares the crap out of them, not to kill them just for fun, you're welcome, oh and by the way your baby can levitate I'd keep a close eye on her." Paige explained then without another word she orbed herself and henry back to her house, where Phoebe had the same reaction Paige did when Piper got back.

"You won't be hearing any complaining from me again, I'm glad we still have 8 months, how as your week" Phoebe asked a ready to pass out Paige.

"Don't ask you don't want to know, house" Paige said waving her hand and Phoebe and Coop to orb them back to their house.

Everyone had learned, Phoebe learned not to complain, Paige learned not to complain about what she has because some parents have it worse, and Piper and Leo learned that missed the kids when they were away, even with all the crazy that comes with, they were happy to be home.
