Disclaimer: I own no one. All characters are from the television show "Charmed", I'm writing for fun, and not for profit.
Authors note: Kangaroo - Sister Switch Off is the name, because when I first began to write this story, I was planning on just having Dan come back, be with Paige- and that would be it. In other words, he switched sisters. No longer Piper, but Paige. Yeah, it's corny. I never thought that the story would be this long, or have as much plot and thinking as I'm putting into it. I'm going to tie in some more "sister switching" later on in the story... hopefully. (I've never been too good at naming stories... I always have problems. Most of the time, I go to my mother. She's good at that sort of thing.)
This story has a bit of humor in it; I hope you enjoy. Thank you for the reviews, keep them coming. Remember people; it's fiction.
Title: Sister Switch Off

Chapter Twenty-Two ~ Mother Nature isn't the Only Bitch
When Dan awoke, the sun was shining brightly in his face. He frowned, but not because of the light. He was confused- the window in Paige's room faced west; didn't the sun rise in the east? Then he remembered the earthquake- and that afterward.
Dan let out a deep sigh, and then opened his eyes to see Paige's head resting on his arm. He smiled and used his free hand to brush stray red hairs from her face. She shifted slightly and Dan fought to keep from kissing her.
Paige unconsciously threw her arm over Dan's chest and he let out a soft grunt. He took her hand and laced their fingers as he allowed himself to recollect the memories from the night- and morning before.
At the moment, he wasn't sure if he wanted to be a "white guidance". He was always happy being Dan Gordon, just Dan Gordon. Now, he was Daniel Gordon, the seventh son of Cecilia Gordon.
Dan was fine with having healing powers for a day, but now, the rest of his lifetime? He was full time, or almost full time "wiccan-witch-guidance-counselor-teacher-guy" to Wyatt Matthew Halliwell; the next generation of powerful witches. How was he supposed to train a child, a baby, to use his powers; how was he supposed to counsel him with what he should or shouldn't do if he didn't know or understand himself?
He heard Paige's breathing change and he knew she was waking up. She pulled her hand from his and rolled to stretch.
"Good morning, sunshine." Dan said softly.
"We didn't sleep twenty-four hours did we?"
"No, I don't know what time it is. We're gonna have to figure out a way to get to sleep tonight." Paige yawned in response.
"Nyquil." She pushed herself up and patted Dan's let. "Get up. Let's go get something to eat."
Dan rolled over, not wanting leave the security of the warm bed. Her buried his head in a soft pillow and reached blindly for Paige's hand.
"Lay with me for a little while." He said softly. Paige smiled; she loved Dan's mannerisms.
She flopped back down and Dan let out a grunt from the impact.
"You know what?" She said.
"Mmm?"
"We need to go get your things from your motel."
"Idtofstlstanin." Paige lifted her eyebrow.
"What?"
"I said," Dan turned his face away from the pillow. "'I doubt if it's still standing'."
"We'll have to check then, won't we? When do you want to get your things from Portland?"
"Dunno. You coming with?" Dan opened his eyes sleepily. It was hard to believe that he'd just been somewhat wide-awake.
"Okay."
"Damnit!" They heard Piper yell.
"What is it?" That was Phoebe.
"I stepped on a piece of glass. Where is Leo?!" Piper was angry.
Paige let out a small giggle. Dan shushed her as they continued to listen.
"I'm right here." Leo's footsteps were heard.
"You didn't wake him up, did you?"
"No, he was fussing for a new diaper."
"Here, let me see my nephew." Phoebe's footsteps sounded down the stairs. She cooed at the baby as she left.
"Leo, will you heal my foot before I bleed to death?"
A pause.
"Ouch! Damnit, that hurt. You're not supposed to touch while you heal."
"I haven't even begun to heal yet, Piper. I had to get the glass out of your foot."
"Well, is it out?"
"No, you won't keep still."
"It hurts, damnit." It sounded like Piper stomped her foot, in the glass that she had already stepped in. "Ouch! Damnit, Leo." The sound of Piper's blowing up power sounded, then the sound of little orbs.
"Piper! You cannot blow me up like that! You can lose your privilege to have me as your white lighter."
"You're my husband, what are the Elders going to do? Divorce us?"
Paige's bedroom door swung open and Piper hobbled in.
"I don't care what you two are doing, but you're going to stop for a minute and fix my foot, a lot better and nice than Leo tried."
"Gee, who lit the fuse on your tampon?" Paige said. Leo and Dan laughed.
"I cannot help it if Mother Nature is a bitch."
"She's not the only one this afternoon." Leo muttered.
"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that. Mother Nature is the one who created the earthquake and the earthquake is the one that shattered all the glass."
"And it was your dumb ass who didn't look where you were stepping." Paige said.
"Do they always do this?" Dan looked at Leo.
"About three times a month."
"That's kind of an odd amou- oh, never mind."
"Will you two quit it and somebody please fix me?"
Paige sighed. "Sit down." She waved to a chair sitting in the corner. Piper did as she said and waited.
"Well?" Paige rolled her eyes and pushed herself out of bed. She found an old shirt in her drawer and held it open in her hands.
"Glass in Piper's foot." She called. The shattered glass appeared on the shirt in a swirl of orbs. "Here, Leo, take this." She balled up the shirt and gave it to her brother-in-law.
Dan got out of bed and knelt beside Piper. He healed her easily and he smiled at her.
"There ya go."
"Thank you, Dan." As Piper left the room, Paige began to whisper.
"Let the object of objection become but a dream, as I cause the seen to be unseen."
Almost instantly, the house was repaired along with everything that was broken inside it.
"Damnit, Paige. What about personal gain?" Paige shrugged at her oldest sister.
"Now we don't have to clean."
"What are we going to tell the insurance company when they ask how much repairs were?"
"Hey- I do carpentry and other type of work like that, remember?" Dan said, waving his hand slightly.
"Me too." Leo said with a smile.
Piper rolled her eyes at the two men and stomped off.
