Disclaimer: I refuse to type it again!!!
A/N: I just thought I would mention a big thankyou to Katriona who has reviewed me every chapter, and Prupie who has reviewed every one of them except one. It means a lot to me ( In case you were wondering everything occurs up till Sense and Sensibility and then Prue and Andy are sent back (as whitelighters of course.) and Cole comes back again but this time he's good. This is why it's an A/U fic.
*Nap Time*
Wyatt didn't like this part of the day. Neither did Grace. In fact, when you considered it, it was in their opinions, completely pointless.
"Wyatt." Piper plastered a brighter smile on her face. "Why don't you go lie down for a little while?"
"I don't want to nap." He said stubbornly, shaking his head. Phoebe was counting to five while trying to coax Grace into a nap and Melinda was already in a coma-like sleep. She could sleep like a log. In fact, she was probably the only kid in the entire world who liked naps. Sleep and Melinda seemed to go hand in hand.
"It's not a nap." Piper insisted. "It's just lying down. You know. Resting your feet. Resting your big strong muscles. Resting your back."
"No."
"You get to see some really good movies." Piper added. "For free."
"Mom I know you're talking about dreams and not movies. It's not going to work."
"Wyatt just lie down. Maybe if you lie down long enough you'll be able to draw me a picture of what the insides of your eyelids look like?" Piper suggested. She hated tricking Wyatt but it was the only way.
"Mom I'm not Mellie. I don't just fall into a coma." Wyatt objected.
"Wyatt Matthew Halliwell." Piper frowned. "Young man, you lie down on that couch and close your eyes right now!" Wyatt lay down and shut his eyes. Every now and then he opened them a bit. Piper watched him till he began emitting authentic little-boy snores.
"That young man really seems to work." Glen commented. Piper looked up and realized he had just walked in.
"It certainly does the trick. It worked on Grace. Except she was called young lady."
Glen chuckled. "So I would assume." He studied her. "You look tired Piper."
"I know. I barely got any sleep last night."
"Why don't you get some sleep then? You might as well take this opportunity of silence to rest. If one of the kids wake up the rest of us are still around and they're bound to wake you up too."
"Yeah, alright." Piper agreed, and lay down on the couch. Oddly enough all the kids chose to sleep on the floor.
Glen waited till he was sure she was sound asleep, and smiled. "Alright. Paige?"
Paige grinned at him. "Thanks Glen." She motioned for Phoebe and Prue, who were waiting just out of sight. "Okay, come in."
The three surrounded the sleeping Piper and linked hands. "The spell?" Prue asked Paige pointedly.
"Oh right. Sorry." Paige mumbled. Sometimes she still felt overshadowed by Prue after all of these years.
"That's okay." Prue smiled at her, sensing how she felt.
"Alright, um, I'll read it first and then you can repeat it with me." Paige cleared her throat and began reading.
"The happy couple cannot be
Till you decide if you'll set him free
So while you dream you will see
Whether or not it was meant to be." The three repeated the spell several times as golden orbs of light, similar to the whitelighter orbs appeared in golden threads and wrapped themselves around Piper.
"One down." Phoebe remarked, satisfied. "One to go."
Prue snorted. "Like we're going to get Leo to fall asleep. He's rarely home, let alone sleeping."
"Well I've fixed that." Paige replied. "I, uh, drugged his coffee." Phoebe and Prue's mouths practically hit the floor.
"You drugged our whitelighter? Paige! What if a demon comes?"
"We have two and a half whitelighters still awake, remember?" Paige rolled her eyes. "Now let's go. He should be in the conservatory, snoring like a baby."
The three sisters and Glen trooped into the conservatory. As predicted, Leo was fast asleep. Prue, Phoebe and Paige linked hands around him and recited the same spell, except for him being her and he being she.
"Now what?" Paige asked, as they let go of each other's hands and made their way to the kitchen.
"Now what?" Prue repeated. "Now we wait."
Paige pouted. "I hate waiting."
"Paige, nobody likes waiting." Phoebe said with an amused smile.
"What if they get woken up halfway through their dreams?" Prue asked, worried.
"Well Leo's been drugged, and Piper might as well be in a coma." Paige said with a shrug. "You haven't got a lot to worry about."
"I suppose. let's talk about Prue's pregnancy!" Phoebe said excitedly, happy to be an Aunt again. Paige cleared her throat pointedly. "And yours too." Phoebe added quickly.
"I really do wonder how I got pregnant." Prue murmured. "It's a mystery."
"Magic will never cease to amaze me."
