Chapter 11
"Oh Phoebe that's great!" Paige exclaimed, hugging her sister. Piper looked at Leo, and they both smiled.
"Did you tell Lexi yet?" Piper asked. Phoebe looked nervously at Cole.
"No, she'll want to, right?" Phoebe asked. Piper laughed, and Leo smiled.
"What? Of course. She loves you and Cole both. And by you two adopting her, I can watch over her right here, it's perfect." Leo said. Cole looked at Phoebe as they smiled on.
"She does adore you Pheebs." Piper said sweetly. Phoebe smiled and hugged Piper. Suddenly, they heard the quick, lively footsteps of Lexi coming down the stairs.
"Tell her now." Paige said, grabbing Phoebe's hand and pushing her towards the stairs. Phoebe grabbed Cole and they both almost cut Lexi off to get to the bottom of the stairs.
"Hey sweetie." Phoebe greeted. Lexi smiled and looked up at her and Cole.
"Good. No dreams." Lexi said, now looking past them to the other room on the right side of the stairs.
"Good. Uh we need to ask you something." Cole said, picking Lexi up. Lexi smiled.
"Otay." Lexi said happily. Phoebe and Cole went to the sunroom, and Cole sat down with Lexi comfortable on his lap. Phoebe joined them.
"Lexi, do you like it here?" Phoebe asked. Lexi smiled and nodded.
"Yeah! A whole lot! The bed is super comfertble, and you didn't leave me! And Piper's food's the greatest in the whole wide world! And Cole and you always play with me, and Paige plays with me a lot too! And Leo told me about my gifts and that a lot of people have them." Lexi went on. Phoebe and Cole smiled. They didn't know that Leo, Paige and Piper were listening to them through the door of the sunroom.
****~****~****~****~
"My foods the greatest in the whole wide world!" Piper whispered with tears in her eyes. Leo smiled and looked at Paige who also held a bright happy grin.
****~****~****~***~
"So, how would you feel if you got to stay here forever and ever?" Phoebe asked in a slight baby voice. Lexi's face brightened up even more that it already was.
"You mean that you and Cole would be my mommy and daddy?" Lexi asked. She somehow knew exactly what they meant, or hoped she did anyways. Phoebe, her eyes now gathering tears of joy nodded. Lexi pulled her in closer so she could hug Cole and Phoebe at the same time. Cole smiled, and hugged Lexi with one arm and Phoebe with the other. For the first time in his life, he not only had one reason to live, but two.

"That's it? We don't have to like.. Go to court or anything like that?" Phoebe asked, signing a paper. She handed the pen to Cole, where he signed his name under Phoebe's. Paige laughed.
"Honey we only have to go to court if we were trying to get illegal custody over her and either the state was objecting or the biological parents was." Cole said. Phoebe nodded, and smiled. Paige took the papers, and looked up.
"Oh, are you going to change her last name? Alexis Mary McGuire or Alexis Mary Turner?" Paige asked. Phoebe looked at Cole, neither one of them had thought of that. They suddenly heard a small voice cry out,
"Turner!" As she ran into the room and jumped on Cole's lap. Cole laughed, and Phoebe smiled. Paige checked some boxes, and Phoebe and Cole signed on the dotted line once again. Lexi smiled and looked up at Phoebe. Phoebe's eyes locked with Lexi's grey eyes, and she felt the same feeling the first time she met her. A comforting chill ran up and down along her spine. The chill was a mix of excitement, and other friendly vibes the little girl gave out.
"Can you do my hair? In two French braids?" Lexi asked. Phoebe chuckled and nodded. Cole also smiled, the feeling of him, Balthazar actually having a family was unbelievable. Not only did he have a gorgeous, caring wife, he also had an adorable little girl who looked up to him, and seemed to barley ever run out of friendly energy. He looked at Paige who winked at him. She could tell Cole's thoughts by his smile.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~
"Huh?" Lexi asked. Her left arm was supporting her head, which had an extremely confused look on her face. Piper sighed.
"Okay. Can you tell me all the things potions are used for?" Piper asked. Lexi switched her sitting stance to a more attentive position.
"For, uh, what's that word again?" Lexi asked. Piper smiled. Lexi looked so cute in her new dark blue denim flairs, and her hot pink tank top. Her hair Phoebe had done in a single French braid.
"Vanquishing." Piper said. Lexi nodded.
"Yeah, uh demons.. And warlocks.. And uh, copying powers, hmmm..pretty much everything, Piper can I do something else?" Lexi asked. Piper laughed, and noticed Paige had come in.
"Piper let her go. Tomorrow she has to spend a whole day with Cole and Leo, over things she's never even heard of before. And then Phoebe gets to show her how spells work. Kids shouldn't have to do this." Paige said, sitting by Lexi. Piper looked down.
"Unfortunately, to survive in this house you have too. Lexi you can go play, okay?" Piper said. Lexi smiled and nodded. She gave Piper a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks Piper." Lexi said as she ran out the kitchen door. Paige smiled.
"See I think she got the gist of it." Paige said. Piper nodded. Paige sighed.
"I took her to the park yesterday, she has so much energy. My little cousins, or my Mathews cousins had energy, but she just keeps going and going and going." Paige said. Piper smiled and laughed.
"Phoebe and Cole are good for her; all three of them fit together like a puzzle." Piper exclaimed. Paige nodded.
"Speaking of family." Paige started. Piper raised an eyebrow.
"No one said anything about a family." Piper said. Paige shrugged.
"Well now that ya mention it, are you and Leo trying still?" Paige asked. Piper nodded. She smiled.
"I, I defiantly think it's possible, because I can just feel it. It's just like, not happening, yet." Piper replied. Paige nodded.
"I wish you the best of luck!" Paige exclaimed. Piper smiled at her baby sister.
