GETTING ON WITH LIFE
A/N: This will be the second to last chapter and I am going to write a sequel but I am going to write the whole thing and then post it. It might be a little longer but I'm not sure yet. I don't know what it will be called yet so unless I post it as a final a/n for this story, just look for my pen name. I just realized that this story is very Piper centered but that is because she is my favorite of the three. I will try to focus the next one on all three of them, and Jason Dean just might come back..
wAnNaBpIpEr: thank you for all the reviews and it was a good plan. It worked. But how did Phoebe scare you? Was it just in chapter 6? It's not too late for mention of Phoebe's power..I still don't know exactly what it's going to be....
On with the story....
Paige is sitting at the kitchen table when Piper walks in with a contractor behind her. Not noticing Paige, Piper continued to talk to the contractor about remodeling the basement. "Right this way. We're trying to convert it into a bedroom for my sister but if it's big enough, maybe you could install a bathroom somewhere?"
"Ok well let me just check it out and see. I'll be back up in a little while to have an estimate," was all he said before he disappeared into the basement.
Finally noticing Paige, Piper sat down at the table with her. "Hey sweetie. That man is gonna build your new room. Listen, I just wanna thank you again for moving. It's just such a big help with the new baby on the way and all.." And Piper just trailed off, not finishing her sentence.
"Oh no problem, and besides with my own bathroom, I'll have more privacy and so will you and Leo. About the baby.not that it's any of my business but I was just curious..are you gonna go to a doctor or do it the same way with Wyatt?"
"Well it is your business because you are my sister..and Leo and I made a deal. I will go to a doctor but have a home birth, if anything magical happens when we're there, I stop going and just take it easy."
"Oh well that's good, at least there was no fight. And I am telling you that you will take it easy no matter what! I don't want my little niece or nephew hurt. Hey how cool would that be if you were all invincible again? Ooh and self healing? I wish I was invincible and self healing. Not fair you get all the good powers."
"Not true and you can heal other people, you can orb, you can move things with your mind. I will try to take it easy but if I am invincible and self healing then I am not taking it easy until at least my sixth month."
"OK, agreed. Now when's your first doctor's appointment? It's been like a month and a half already."
"It's this afternoon. I hafta say I am a little nervous about what the baby will do. I just keep remembering Phoebe's baby."
"Yes well do you remember his daddy? Source of All Evil dude? That kid was the heir to the throne of the underworld. Remember your kid's daddy? Guardian Angel? I don't think you have anything to worry about except maybe that flower power thingy you pulled on the Siren."
"Yeah well I hope not. I don't like being a pacifist, it doesn't suit me." It sounded as though Piper was going to say more but the contractor emerged from the stairs looking quite pleased.
"Well ma'am, you've got quite a large basement down there although it is kinda un-hospitable. It will take a lot of work and there is plenty of room for a bathroom, I just hafta have a chat with this little lady and see where she wants it." He added a nod and a wink at Paige who did not object seeing as he was quite cute.
"Sounds like a plan. When can you start?" Inquired Piper.
"Eager aren't we? Well..if your sister would accompany me downstairs we can start planning where she wants everything and how she wants it built."
"Surely!" Replied an over enthusiastic Paige who then followed the cute guy down the stairs.
Just then Piper heard her son crying and started to walk upstairs when she heard it stop and she started to run at supernatural speed, fearing that her son was stolen. She reached the doorway to her bedroom in less than a second, only to see her husband comforting their son. She couldn't help herself, she hadn't seen Leo comforting Wyatt in over a month and she just wanted to remember it in case the Elders ever decided to take him away again. The second that thought entered her mind, she quickly promised herself she would never let that happen. She was so deep in her own thoughts she didn't even notice Leo walking towards her, Wyatt in his arms. "You okay Piper?"
"Yeah, just wondering how I got to be so lucky. I love you," she replied, then turning to her son she added in her baby voice, "and I love you more but don't tell him that."
"Oh why I oughta..." Leo started before putting Wyatt down and running after her. He chased her all around the house but since she was exercising her new power, he was unable to catch up to her. He stopped to rest on the couch and decided to wait for Piper to come to him.
"Hey!" he heard from a corner. "You gave up. No fair. I almost won too." Said Piper emerging from the corner and sitting down on the couch next to him.
"Yeah well you were using your power for personal gain." Said Leo, wrapping his arms around Piper
"Was not. I was just practicing it in case I had to use it to vanquish a demon."
"Fine you win. So when is construction going to start on the basement?"
"ASAP. I think Paige and the contractor have a thing for each other. That just might get in the way though. I hope it works out. Paige hasn't really been out since she found out Nate was married and that was over two months ago. I almost feel bad that I am so happily married while Paige and Phoebe still hafta date."
"Yes well as much as I'd love to stay like this for the rest of the day, you have a doctor's appointment to go to."
"Fine let's go!" And they walked out of the room towards Piper's jeep.
"Phoebe! Paige! We have a problem!" Shouted Piper walking in the door. She only continued when they were both present and asking "what's up?" "What's up? What's up you say? Well..your unborn niece or nephew just performed his first magic trick. Yeah! I was sitting down on that table thingy and all of a sudden I was floating a couple inches off of it. Looks like my baby has your power Pheebs."
"Oooooooooo....I'm so proud! The baby takes after his or her most favoritest Auntie!" Gushed Phoebe.
"No! This is not good. The doctor noticed and I had to pretend I was holding myself up with my hands. Needless to say, after the little deal Leo and I made, I am going to be having a home birthing all the way. No doctors so be prepared for Toxemia because I just might get it."
"Well then you just hafta take it easy honey. Now come on, I'll take you up to bed so you can rest, which you will do." Being too tired after the day's events, Piper let her husband lead her up the stairs to their room.
