GOOD NEWS
The whole family was sitting in the living room talking. Piper and Leo were cuddled up on the sofa and Phoebe and Paige were laying in the overstuffed chairs placed on either side of the large sofa. The conversation had died down a little while ago so Paige decided to ask Piper something that had been bothering her for a while. "Um, Piper, this may be none of my business but I was wondering if you were going to continue the "P" tradition with the twins."
"Well Leo and I have been talking and we honestly don't know what to do. I don't want to because it might be weird having Prudence, Phoebe, and Wyatt. It would be out of place." Before she could continue, Phoebe interrupted, "Oh honey, did you say Phoebe?" Piper nodded, "Well, Wyatt is named after Paige and at least one of the babies will be named after Prue so it seems right."
"Oh that's so sweet!" gushed Phoebe before adding, "but since Wyatt and everything, what if you have a boy or two boys?" Piper decided to let Leo answer that one. "Well we thought of that and we don't exactly know what to do. There's really no other name that starts with a 'W' so we were thinking to keep all the middle names with the same letter. If one of the babies is a boy then it will be Victor Michael Halliwell and if the other one happens to be a boy then he will be Andy Max Halliwell. What do you guys think?"
Phoebe immediately got the connection between them and the second name but Paige was still trying to put it together. "Oh Leo, that's really sweet of you to name him Andy, Prue would have been so happy and Andy would have been honored." Then seeing the confused look on Paige's face she added "Andy was Prue's high school sweetheart, he died to save our lives. He was also Darryl's partner."
"Oh, that's so sad. But that's very sweet of you guys to name one of your babies after him. So what would Phoebe and Prudence's middle names be?" replied Paige.
"Well Leo and I always agreed that one of our children would be named Prudence Melinda so Phoebe's middle name would probably be May."
"Oh wow I love that name! Phoebe May, it has a nice ring to it, why couldn't my middle name be May?" sobbed Phoebe before the phone rang. "I'll get it" she called as she was getting up to get the telephone. Phoebe went up to her room to talk in private, so Leo, Piper, and Paige sat in silence for a little while. Deciding to break the silence Piper decided to ask Paige how everything with Greg was going but was interrupted by Phoebe running down the stairs and into the living room. "Ohmygod Ohmygod Ohmygod! That was Jason, he's coming back to town!!!!! To live!! They finished in Hong Kong early and he gets to come back to San Francisco! But wait-it gets better! He still wants to be with me!"
"Oh sweetie, that's great! Do you regret picking my son's wiccaning over moving to Hong Kong though?"
"Well I did at first, but it wasn't just his wiccaning, it was all the demon vanquishing, and just being with you guys. And besides, it would have been harder to explain how I went home for a visit and came back in like an hour. I'm very very glad I stayed and I'm very very very glad he's coming back!"
"Well honey that's great and I hate to rain on your parade but I got a date with Greg and I'm already late."
"Oh yeah, I've been meaning to ask you about that, it's been almost a week since our little chat..have you decided what you're gonna do?"
"Well, he hasn't brought it up since so I'm not gonna mention it but if it happens again, I'm going to answer back."
"Oh I'm so happy for you!" squealed Piper, trying to get up to hug Paige but Leo pulled her back down. "Stop it! No! Sit down"
"My baby sister is in love! I think I'm allowed to give her a hug!"
"Wait a second! Paige, you never told me you were in love! Why didn't I know?"
"Well I didn't know it myself until a couple days ago. Okay now I'm really late, no Piper! Don't get up! Sit down. Bye" yelled Paige as she hurried out the door.
"Okay well I am going to go pick out what to wear when Jason comes home tomorrow. Adios." And Phoebe left.
Piper and Leo were left all by themselves in the living room. Wyatt had been sleeping through the night for a while now an he didn't sleep as much during the day so this was a rare occasion. Piper was now five months pregnant with twins. She hadn't shown much when she was pregnant with Wyatt and this time around, she definitely looked pregnant. They had decided to let the twins' gender be a surprise like Wyatt's so Piper hadn't seen a doctor since her last appointment when she was two months pregnant. She had gained control of the baby's powers over the last few months and was self healing and invincible once again. The couple was sitting on the couch in silence when Piper looked up at her husband and gave him a soft kiss before muttering, "I love you." Leo returned the gesture and whispered "I love you too." They went back to their original position until they heard Wyatt crying. Piper was always a little paranoid when it came to her son because the Crone had violated her own law and Kreuk had come after the infant. She was at his crib in less than a second, even faster than Leo orbing. Phoebe arrived at the doorway to Paige's old room as Piper was picking her son up. "What happened? Is the baby okay?" she asked.
"Yeah, he's fine, he just needs feeding." Ever since Piper had lost her sight, she had become more sensitive to Wyatt's cries. She picked him up and slowly walked down to the kitchen to warm up a bottle. She was too nervous to use her supernatural speed when she was holding Wyatt because she didn't know how it affected him.
NEW SETTING: RESTAURANT
Paige and Greg were eating dinner and having a really good time. Paige called him after she talked to Piper and told him she was glad that she didn't know. They had seen each other every day since then.
"You know Paige, I'm really glad that you forgave me for not telling you. I know we've only known each other for a few months and only been dating for like two months but I think I'm in love with you." Greg closed his eyes and silently prayed that she would return his feelings. Paige leaned in and kissed him quickly and whispered, "I love you too."
"Really?! Oh I'm so relieved! I was hoping that you felt the same way."
"I do Greg I really do. And just to let you know, my decision wasn't affected by you knowing my secret. I thought it was at first but the more I thought about it, I realized, it was love at first sight."
"Well, I'm glad to hear that because I feel the same way." The waiter came and gave them their food so they just ate in silence, each one sneaking peeks at the other one, trying to be unnoticed. They were just about to order dessert when her cell phone went off, it was home. She hadn't mastered sensing just yet so whenever there was demonic trouble, her sisters still had to call her cell phone. She picked up the phone and before she could even greet the caller, Phoebe yelled to get home, there was trouble before the line went dead. She hung up the phone and looked apologetically at Greg. "Listen, that was Phoebe-"
"Say no more," Greg interrupted, "go, I'll get the check."
"Thanks, I'll call you when everything gets settled down at home. Love you bye." She walked over to him and gave him a passionate, but quick kiss before leaving. As soon as she was out of sight, she orbed home, deciding she could always get her car later. She orbed into the attic to see Piper and Phoebe crouched in a corner behind a big piece of furniture. She quickly ran over to them and hid with them. "He's over there, one of them whispered." "We need a power of three spell." Said the other one. "I only know one of those." Understanding what she meant, the three sisters held hands tightly and chanted the spell they used to vanquish most of the upper level demons, including Phoebe's son and the heir to the throne of the underworld, "the power of three will set us free." Over and over again. After about six or seven times, the demon was engulfed in flames and disappeared. Getting up from behind the coffee table they were using as a barricade, Piper suddenly remembered, "that was the first spell we ever used."
"Oh yeah, we vanquished your boyfriend with that there spell."
"Really? I never knew that."
"Yeah, he was a warlock. Oh well, I'm over it. Besides, if he wasn't a warlock, I probably wouldn't have the little angel that's sleeping next to his daddy downstairs, and the two little angels trying to bruise my insides. It was all for the best."
