First a thank you to my reviewers:

ariex – Yeah, I was really bad at getting them to tell him, but I guess that's because this is not easy information to tell your dad.

lizardmomma – Yeah, he won't be happy to hear that, but right now they are trying to figure out how to tell him.


Chapter 7.1 – Victor and Freezing

Victor let go of Piper and looked at his oldest daughter. "What is it, Prue?" Still in awe of everything, but no longer stressed, he had a much easier time remembering to call her Prue.

Normally confident, Prue was at a loss. She sighed. Might as well go for broke. It's really another one of those things that's hard to prepare for. "It's about Mom."

Victor frowned. "About Patty?"

Prue nodded.

Piper waved her hands and froze Victor, again. "What are you doing, Prue?"

Prue frowned at Piper. "I have to tell him something about Paige. Would you please unfreeze him so that I can tell him?"

Piper shook her head. "You can't just hit him with that right after the shock of finding out I'm alive. It just won't work."

"It will work," Prue argued. "Maybe the happiness over learning you're alive will even help with it."

Piper glanced at Victor. "It still sounds like a bad idea."

"Well, I've let him in, so I'm not going to just bar him from the kitchen. Paige may not be our twin, but she certainly looks related. He's bound to notice." Hard to discount her, when looking at her makes me think of my family. She has the look of a Halliwell. It would be so much easier if that was because she was a cousin or something.

Piper sighed. "Be nice."

"How do you be nice with that?" Prue wanted to know.

Piper scowled. "Let me, then."

Prue waved her hand in Victor's direction. "Be my guest."

Piper waved her hands and Victor started moving again.

Victor frowned as he looked around. "You moved again," he commented, confused. Vague memories invaded his mind as he recalled many years ago having had similar things happen around Patty. "You're doing something to me," he said suspiciously, looking at his two older daughters. "What's going on?"


Poor Victor. Piper keeps freezing him. Piper could do that to Prue and Phoebe now, too, since they aren't witches anymore. Just a random thought that appeared in my mind. Anyway, I'll try and get the next piece up sooner after I get reviews.
