DEALING WITH AN ANGRY SON & AN DAUGHTER
Wyatt orbed down stairs and sat on the floor looking up at his mother with such anger in his face. Nice going mommy. You hurt Aunt Paige's feelings by yelling at her. You shouldn't yell at her. She's your sister after all. Now Aunt Paige is going to leave again when I shape change her back. Well I'm not going to lose my Aunt Paige; no sir no way. If it means Aunt Paige has to stay a chimpanzee to keep her here than she'll stay a chimpanzee.
"Hey there little man." Piper sighed tiredly as she tried to smile but she knew she failed. She got to her feet and walked over to where her son was sitting glaring at her and she bent to pick him up.
Wyatt wasn't going to have non of that. He shook his head and folded his arms and deepened the glare. He snorted as much as he could in his fourteen month old body.
Piper knelt down in front of her son. "I'm sorry Wyatt, mommy knows she did wrong by yelling at Aunt Paige." She reached over to touch her son's shoulder.
Wyatt moved his shoulder back and forced his mother to drop to the ground. His glare didn't leave his face as he looked steady into his mother's eyes. You can't comfort me mommy. Not after you hurt Aunt Paige. All she wanted was your love and you can't even do that can you?
Phoebe watched the interaction between mother and son. She saw Piper in Wyatt's face especially when he was angry. I thought the wrath of Piper was bad but it looks like the wrath of Wyatt will be even worse.
Chris walked down the stairs and saw his older brother with an angry look on his face facing their mother. Wyatt takes after mom in the anger department. Just his anger is worse. The aunts don't like to face the wrath of Piper but if I could only them that the wrath of Wyatt is worse much worse. Deadly even. He couldn't keep the soft smile off his face as he continued to watch his mom and brother. Damn he sure is cute at fourteen months with his anger face going. I can see more of mom in him now than I have since Wyatt turned total evil.
"What can I say and do honey to make you believe me when I said that I wasn't angry at Aunt Paige I was more afraid of losing her." Tears feel from her eyes as Piper looked at her angry son; angry at her.
Wyatt's face soften but he still was angry at his mother. That still didn't give you the right to hurt Aunt Paige mommy. You should have understood her feelings and tried to show her that you love her.
"I checked in on Paige and she is safely asleep. She may be out for a few hours. Unless you would like me to wake her up for dinner." Chris said finally breaking the tension in the room.
"Piper?" Phoebe raised her eye brows as Piper finally broke eye contact with her son.
"We'll wait till dinner is made and than I'll go up and get her." Piper said as she turned back to her son. "Come here Wyatt." She held open her arms for her son to come to her.
With one last hurtful glare Wyatt orbed out.
Piper sighed. "Looks like I'll have to go to Paige's room no matter what; Wyatt won't come back until Paige comes to dinner."
"If you would like I could orb in and stay with Wyatt while Paige is asleep." Chris offered. "The demon hunt can wait till later."
"Thanks but no." Piper shook her head as she stood to her feet. "If Wyatt needs anything than he will orb to Phoebe to tend to him. I think it would just freak Paige out if she senses someone watching her besides Wyatt." She walked towards the hall that would lead to the kitchen. "Wyatt is safe with Paige and Paige is safe with Wyatt."
"What if a demon attacks now that Paige can't use her calling ability?" Chris asked with a worried frown on his face.
"Wyatt will keep Paige safe with his protection shield. " Phoebe said as she watched her sister stop at how dangerous this situation truly was.
Piper slowly turned around with fear on her face. "Until Wyatt decides to shape change Paige back into her human self than Wyatt needs to be with Paige 24/7."
"Looks like Wyatt has his wish granted." Phoebe said with a tight nod. She shook her head.
Chris raised his eye brows.
"Wyatt wanted to spend more time with Paige and not have her rushing off to work every day. Wyatt shape changed Paige into a chimpanzee in order to keep her by his side at the manor." Piper explained. "Can't say I blame the little guy."
"Smart guy you got there Piper." Chris couldn't keep the admiration out of his voice. That's my brother for you. He gets what he wants. If he has to trick you for you to do his will so be it. Glad to see at least he was innocently learning this tool at fourteen months. Now if I can just save him from whomever had turned him evil than perhaps I can keep him innocent.
"Thanks." Piper said with pride in her voice. She turned over to look at her sister. "This is a good time to tell you this, Phoebe, Chris would like to move in to the manor and take over the attic."
"Not take over the attic. I would just like to sleep in there while I'm not demon hunting is all." Chris quickly held up his hands in front of him with eyes wide.
Phoebe nodded her head thoughtfully. "Sounds like a great idea to me. I'm surprised we haven't thought about it when Chris first arrived here."
"Why would that thought have crossed our minds?" Piper asked as she leaned against the wall.
"Chris is from the future he wasn't even alive in this time. He had no proper birth certificate, drivers license. No bank account, no job. How would he find a place to live? Even the seedy mortals who accept money without question would require the actual money on a daily bases." Phoebe said. "We didn't even offer him your office at P3 until Leo told us that Chris Perry was officially assigned to be our new white lighter." She frowned.
"Hey now we thought Chris would be going back to his time after we defeated the Titans." Piper quickly said. "Of course we would have been a white lighter sort seeing how Chris saw it feet to force Leo to become an Elder."
Chris head jerked over to look at his mother's face. "How did you find out?"
"Leo would never have accepted becoming an Elder and leaving Wyatt and I for anything in the world." Piper said never breaking eye contact with the white lighter from the future who was a compete mystery to her and her sisters. "My question is why did you need Leo out of the way?"
"I just did." Chris said in an impassive voice.
Phoebe silently her older sister and second born nephew who had yet to be conceived inter act.
"Talk to me Christopher." Piper said softly as she walked over to stand in front of her white lighter.
Chris looked into his mother's eyes and saw his mother; the younger version of his mother of course but his mother. This was the first time since he had arrived in 2004 that he saw his mother in Piper's eyes. Of course this was the first time that Chris really looked into Piper's eyes. Normally he didn't look in his mother's eyes to long and if he had to look in them than he very quickly looked away. He swallowed the lump that came to his throat. He felt hot tears prick at the corner of his eyes. "I - I have to go." With that Chris orbed out of the living room; out of the manor.
Piper blinked as she watched Chris orb out suddenly. Were those tears in Chris's eyes? Why did he look like he just lost his best friend or more like his lost his mother when he looked at me in the eyes? That was the first time Chris Perry had looked me straight in the eyes since he arrived. "Boy I must have some foul body odor going today. That's the third male to orb suddenly away from me."
Phoebe opened her mouth to replay 'that's what you get for being the female in an male dominate family.' but than she realized that she would be giving away who Chris truly was so she shut her mouth quickly. Instead she stood to her feet and walked over to her sister and sniffed her nose loudly. "You haven't cashed this female away from you." Her smile rose. "Of course I don't know how to orb."
Piper suddenly swatted at her sister. "You." She laughed. "Thanks."
Phoebe moved closer and wrapped her arms around her older sister and pulled Piper into a tight hug. "Anytime sis."
Piper closed her eyes as she gathered the comfort that she always felt when Phoebe hugged. It was always like this even when Phoebe was a baby and just snuggled in her arms. She knew all was right in the world in Phoebe's hugs.
UP THERE
"At least Piper and Phoebe still have each other." Prue said looking down on her two younger sisters who were hugging each other and looked like they didn't want to let each other go.
"They also have Paige." Patty said.
"Do they?" Prue turned to her mother with a raised right eye brow and than looked back down at the scene as her two sisters let each other go and went on with their self assigned duties.
"Yes." Patty firmly stated.
Prue just snorted as they looked in on the chimpanzee Paige asleep on her bed. "How can my sisters count on Paige when she isn't a human any more." She shook her head. "The Elders should have sent me back to them when I died." She snorted once more. "Hell they shouldn't have allowed me to die in the first place. They very well know that Piper and Phoebe need me after all."
"They have Paige." Patty said. She was about to say more when Prue spoke.
"Paige isn't as strong as I was." Prue said glaring down at the image of her baby ½ sister who was currently a chimpanzee.
"Paige is stronger than you." Penny said softly.
Prue's head jerked up.
"Mom…." Patty said warning.
"Prue has a right to know." Penny shrugged.
"First it's not time yet. Second it's not your place to tell my daughter this piece of information." Patty said calmly as she stared her mother down.
Penny sighed and went back to watching her youngest granddaughter who was a chimpanzee currently sleep.
"Mom?" Prue turned back with a questioning look on her face.
"No Prue." Patty said with a firm shake on her head. "Let's just go back to watching your sisters."
Prue sighed and went back to watching her younger sisters down on the earth. But she knew that this was not by any means over with. She was going to have the compete truth from her mother one way or another.
Patty went back to watching her daughters interact and live their lives with a soft sad smile on her face.
