the last chapter, Wyatt is 11 months old, not 10. Here goes the story.
CHAPTER 16: THE BABIES ARE BORN
....pink. Leo stared at the little girl in his arms and couldn't believe he was a father to a wonderful boy and a beautiful baby girl. He couldn't help but just stare at the little person in his arms, he lost track of time. Piper couldn't take the suspense anymore. She hadn't looked at Phoebe when she was wrapping the baby up or handing the infant to Leo. She wanted to know her new child's gender when she saw her or him for the first time. She cleared her throat, waking Leo from his thoughts. He looked over at Piper who had tears in her eyes and realized he was almost crying too. He reluctantly handed his new daughter to his wife. She looked at the baby and broke down. She started sobbing uncontrollably, tears of joy. She held her baby close to her for over an hour, until she started to worry about the other baby. She had been having a few contractions but nothing major. She handed little Prudence Melinda Halliwell to Leo when she finally had a large contraction. Phoebe and Paige had been downstairs with Jason and Greg, so Leo called them back upstairs. They raced upstairs and were at Piper's bed in mere seconds. Piper was having another major contraction by the time they got there and was ready to deliver the second baby.
The second baby took a little longer to be delivered and it had been over two hours since Prudence was born by the time the baby was wrapped up in yet another pink blanket. Phoebe followed the same procedure she had followed twice before, wrapping the little girl up in a blanket, but handing her to Piper because Leo was holding Prudence. Piper couldn't help but cry again, seeing the two beautiful girls that were now hers. She just held the baby for a couple of minutes before turning to Leo. "Leo Wyatt, meet Phoebe May Halliwell." By this point, the proud parents were both sobbing, each holding a child. Phoebe and Paige quietly left the room, letting Piper and Leo be alone with Prudence and Phoebe.
Greg and Jason greeted Paige and Phoebe with a large hug, both asking how everyone was all at the same time. Paige answered them and explained what happened. "Piper is fine. She had Prudence Melinda about two hours ago and Phoebe May was born about five minutes ago. We left Piper and Leo alone to be with the babies for a little while. Now if you will excuse me for a moment, I need to go check on Wyatt." She turned to Greg who was seated on the couch once again and apologized to him for having to leave him yet again. He told her that he didn't mind and told her that he had an interesting chat with Jason. She turned around and walked over up the stairs to her old bedroom which now belonged to her almost one year old nephew. She saw that he was awake and playing with some blocks in the middle of his room. She walked over to him and kneeled beside him. Knowing he would understand her, she began speaking to him as if he were an adult. "Hey big guy, guess what?" He just looked up at her and gave her a look that seemed to say "what?"
"Your mommy just had the babies! Do you wanna go and see her now?" The little boy just nodded his head in response and got up. Paige picked him up and walked to Piper and Leo's bedroom. The door was slightly open, just as Paige and Phoebe had left it a few minutes ago. She knocked lightly on the door and barely heard Leo whisper "come in". She opened the door a little more to reveal Piper and Leo sitting up in their bed, each holding a baby. They smiled and looked up when they saw that it was Paige knocking. Wyatt was facing his family in his Aunt's arms and started to stir when he saw his new sisters. He tried to get out of Paige's arms but he couldn't walk. Paige walked over to the bed and put Wyatt down next to Piper so he was standing up, holding onto the edge of the bed. "I thought you guys might want to be alone, as one big happy family for a little while." She said simply before preparing to leave. She was almost at the door before Piper told her to go get Phoebe and bring her up here and to bring Greg if she wanted. She said okay and walked downstairs.
Phoebe was at the door when Paige saw her. "Okay sweetie, I'll call you when everything settles down around here. Sorry again about lunch."
"Don't worry about it Pheebs, tell your sister I said congratulations. I'll talk to you later." He stepped out the door and Phoebe shut it after him. Phoebe was about to walk back into the living room when she saw Paige approaching her. "Hey Paige, how is she?"
"Oh she's fine. They're in there with Wyatt but she wants us to go up and see them." Phoebe started to walk up the stairs and Paige walked into the living room to see Greg. "Listen honey, Piper wants us up there and this might take awhile. You're welcome to come up if you want to but you must be starving and I would understand if you wanted to leave."
"Okay well you go be with your sister. I understand that it's a family thing so I am going to get something to eat. Call me when you get a chance. I love you."
"I love you too." Paige walked him to the door before walking up the stairs to her eldest sister's room. She walked in to see Piper and Leo just as she had left them. Phoebe had pulled the couch over by the bed and was sitting on it with Wyatt. She entered the room quietly and said, "Kodak moment!" This got everyone laughing and Paige joined Phoebe and Wyatt on the couch.
"I just want to thank you both. You guys are the best sisters I could ask for, I love you both dearly and would do anything for you. Not many sisters would deliver three babies for me and still offer to babysit. You guys have done everything for me and I just want to tell you I love you both. Now I believe Leo has something to ask you."
"I am so glad that I was lucky enough to know all three of you and I am so happy that the woman I love has the most amazingly supportive sisters there are. I think both of you knew this was coming but, we want to ask Phoebe to be the Godmother of Prudence Melinda, and Paige to be the Godmother of Phoebe May."
Now it was Phoebe and Paige's turn to cry. They both knew they were going to ask them to be the Godmother's but didn't know they were going to say something so beautiful.
"I'd love to." Was all Phoebe could think to say.
"Wow, I'm speechless after that little speech. I'd love to be Phoebe May's Godmother."
"Great, I'm ecstatic. And now, I am tired. Giving birth to two human beings is not as easy as it sounds so I think I am going to go to sleep now." Piper started to get up but Leo stopped her. "Piper, where are you going?"
"I am going to put my daughter down to sleep. Am I not allowed to?"
"No you are, but you just gave birth to the two most beautiful girls I've ever seen. Lay down and I will put Prudence and Phoebe in their cribs."
Piper was too tired to fight so she just handed Phoebe to Leo and laid down. "Hey Pipe, want me to take Wyatt or leave him with you?" Asked Paige.
"I know you haven't got to spend too much time with him lately because Phoebe has been hogging him so do you wanna play with him for a little while?"
"I'd love to!"
"You sure you don't mind? Because I just wanna lay down and talk to Leo for a little while."
"Yeah, you know what, I don't wanna play with my adorable genius of a nephew." Replied Paige sarcastically.
"Thanks Paige. Now go! The Queen is tired." Joked Piper. Phoebe and Paige started to move the couch back to its original position. Paige picked up Wyatt and started to leave when Phoebe turned to her, "I don't hog Wyatt you know."
"Sure ya' don't" "Well I don't!" Piper just listened to them arguing all the way down the hallway. She was just about to get up and go into the nursery when Leo came back. "Hey Daddy." She greeted him.
"Hey Mommy. How are ya' ?"
"I'm good, a little tired but good. Can you believe we have three kids?"
"I know, it doesn't seem real. I don't even know how I go so lucky."
"You're wrong, I'm the lucky one." Piper then snuggled into her husband's arms and fell asleep a couple minutes later.
NEW SETTING: JASON'S APARTMENT
Jason heard the doorbell ring and knew who it was. Phoebe had just called him and said she wanted to talk to him. He had been extremely nervous, hoping she wasn't about to break up with him. He opened the door and greeted her with a kiss. He welcomed her in and they sat down on his living room couch. "So what did you want to talk to me about?" He asked, almost regretting that he was ending their relationship faster.
"You seem a little nervous. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Are you okay?"
"I'm good I just need to talk to you. Don't worry, I'm not dumping you, unless you want me to...do you?"
"No way. I though that was what you came here to do though. So why do you need to talk to me?"
"Because I missed you."
"That's it? There's nothing going on that I should know about?"
"Nope, I just wanted to see you. Sorry if I worried you."
"Don't worry about it. I'm so happy to be back. Now that I'm here with you, I look back on the six months I spent in Hong Kong without you, and don't know how I managed without seeing you everyday."
"I think the same thing." Phoebe and Jason just laid on his couch for a couple of hours, talking about everything, except the fact that Phoebe was a witch. She hadn't been able to tell him. She wanted to, and it was hard for her to keep such a big secret from him, especially when she had seen him almost everyday for the past two months.
NEW SETTING: MANOR SITTING ROOM
Paige had called Greg over a couple hours after Piper and Leo asked her to be Phoebe's Godmother. She had played with Wyatt for a long time and fed him dinner. He had fallen asleep a little while ago so she decided to call Greg. He was on his way over and Paige was actually nervous. She didn't know why, she had never been nervous to see Greg. She was so comfortable around him and this feeling was unusual and she didn't like it. She thought it might be demonic but didn't want to ruin their night together by jumping to conclusions and calling Phoebe home to see if she could get a premonition. When Greg arrived, her nerves were immediately calmed. She almost didn't remember what she felt like earlier. She led Greg over to the couch and told him all about what happened after her left. "Well tell your sister and brother-in-law I said congratulations."
"She doesn't have to." Said a voice from over by the stairs. Paige and Greg looked up from where they were sitting to see Piper and Leo descending the stairs. "Hey Piper. How are you?" asked Greg.
"Oh I'm fine, thank you for asking. Prue and Phoebe are sleeping as of now and Leo and I decided to get a little something to eat since we didn't have any dinner. Don't mind us, we'll be out of your way in a second."
"Don't worry about it. How about Greg and Leo go get us food while we sit on the couch and talk?" suggested Paige. The boys consented and walked into the kitchen to find food for the girls. "What's up Paige?"
"Well, it might be nothing and if it is, I'm sorry for stealing your thunder and all but I need to tell someone. After I put Wyatt to bed I called Greg, and asked him to come over. I've done that a hundred times, but this time was different. After I hung up the phone, I got real nervous. I don't know why, I've never felt like that before when I was going to see him. Do you think it's demonic?"
Piper just laughed, and shook her head. "No honey, it's not demonic."
"Oh thank God. What is it then? Have you ever gotten that feeling? When? What happened?"
"Wow! Calm down Paige. Yes I have gotten that feeling. It's the feeling I get everytime I know I'm gonna see Leo. The first time I got it was when I knew I could never live without him."
"So...what does that mean?"
