"Hey baby," Cole said as he walked into Phoebe's hospital room, "how
do you feel?"
"Considering I've been in labor for 16 hours, pretty good I guess but enough about me, look at what we've accomplished."
"Yeah," Cole said soft laugh, "we didn't do too bad for our first time did we?"
"No we didn't, I just hope that I can be the mother they need, that they deserve."
"You'll make a great mom Phoebe, don't sell yourself short," Cole said as he lovingly stroked her hair and gazed down at their handiwork.
"Oh, no you don't I know what you're thinking Mr. Turner."
"And what might that be Mrs. Turner?"
"You're wondering how you, who used to be Belthazor, can possibly be the father that they need. Well, let me tell you something, you will be the father they need and more. Now, what shall we name these two?"
"I'm no good with names, you pick Phoebe, I'll go with anything you come up with."
"OK, I was thinking Benjamin Coleridge after his daddy and grandpa and as for her, well it looks like you will have to come up with something."
"Well, Piper and Leo have dibs on Melinda Prudence."
"Huh? Is Piper pregnant again? How does she know it's a girl?"
"Yeah, she is and she says she just has a feeling. She can't explain it, can you?"
"I can't explain it but I do understand now that I'm a mother myself, I guess you could call it intuition, and mine is very hiped up because I get premonitions, so I really get it. And now back to our nameless daughter, how about a name?"
"Hmmm, how about Patricia Paige, after her grandma and her aunt?"
"Sounds good to me, how about you two?" Phoebe asked her children.
At this, the newborns shimmered out of their mother's arms.
"Well," Phoebe said with a sigh, "I see already that I'm going to be a nervous mother," and gave Cole a nervous look.
"Where'd they go anyway?"Cole asked.
He got his answer as his son appeared in his arms and his daughter in the arms of a very surprised Paige, who had just walked into the room.
"I see we already know who they take after," she said. "Is there a reason for this?"
"I guess it means they like their names," Phoebe said.
"What did you name them?" Leo asked as he and Piper walked into the room with along with Wyatt, who was asleep in Piper's arms.
"Benjamin Coleridge and Patricia Paige."
"Gee, you guys must really like me, naming your kids after me and all," Paige said as she handed Patricia to Phoebe.
"Yeah, we do and don't you ever forget it," Phoebe informed Paige.
"The same goes for us,"Piper told her baby sister.
"You guys, I know you love me you don't have to keep reminding me."
"We know, its just that we've been busy the past year with Wyatt and Phoebe and Cole have been preoccupied with getting ready for the twins."
"Don't feel bad about being preoccupied lately, its perfectly understandable, I'm pretty sure having kids will do that to you."
"I promise as soon as Cole and I get settled next store we'll have a girls' day out."
"Next store, I thought you were going to live in the penthouse," Paige said, confused.
"Oh, we're gonna keep it in case someone needs a break but we decided that staying close to you guys would be safer, you The Power of Three and all."
"Oh, that makes sense," Paige said.
"Yeah, that sounds good to me too, so does the girls' day out," Piper said.
"OK, we'll hang out, but on two conditions," Paige said.
"What," Piper and Phoebe said simultaneously.
"That everyone comes and bring the kids. We don't spend much family time together unless we're demon fighting. I love spending time with everyone, even the kids. Wyatt is great to spend time with and I'm sure I'll like spending time with Patty and Ben just as much."
"Are you sure you want us to bring the kids along?" Piper asked.
"Positive," Paige told her.
"OK, if that's what you want," Phoebe said, "looks like you two don't have to watch the kids all by yourselves," she said, referring to Leo and Cole.
"Do you think the guys could even handle the kids alone?" Paige asked.
"I don't know," Piper said, "but that is something for another day."
