A/N: I realized because I stopped for a while I lost lots of reviewers :( I hope I get them back soon! Katriona - yeah, they just look alike :)

*Exploding the Demon*

'Piper!' Leo orbed downstairs. 'Piper!'

Piper looked up, then began to snort with laughter. 'Piper it's not funny!' Leo whined, sounding very much like Melinda and Wyatt.

'Oh yes it is. And remember what you said? No healing spots! No personal gain!'

'I'm a whitelighter not a witch. The rules don't apply to me.' Leo growled, not really angry but extremely irritated.

'Oh is that so?' Piper put her hands on her hips. 'Well our kids are half whitelighters.'

'Piper!'

'Well if the same rules don't apply then why come whining to me? I don't heal.' Piper pointed out, as she began to wrap a large piece of meat in foil.

Leo grimaced. 'I can't see all the spots you know.'

Piper giggled. 'Go use a mirror then. I'm cooking here. If you want roast for dinner than go check yourself.'

Leo grumbled and orbed back upstairs. Piper made a face. 'I should really speak to Leo about using the stairs.' She murmured to herself, as Paige, Prue and Serena entered the kitchen.

'Ice cream.' Prue muttered, with an almost insane look in her eyes. 'Where is the ice cream?' Prue opened the fridge and began to hunt.

Piper grinned, amused.

Wyatt and Melinda recovered within a week. At the penthouse, Grace was miserable, since Cole was always too busy and she couldn't bring many friends over since they made too much noise and Cole needed to work. Add to the fact that the surrounding neighbours got grouchy and had no kids; Grace missed the manor like crazy.

It was a Friday afternoon, and Piper was decorating a cake - she had started up a small business where she made beautiful cakes for special occasions. Prue was going through another tub of ice cream, Phoebe was at the office, and Glen was at work. Leo and Andy were at a baseball game (unknown to Wyatt), and Paige was sitting in front of Serena's bassinet, waving assorted toys at her and speaking in baby language. Pretty much the same thing Phoebe had done when Wyatt was first born.

'I'm going to be so fat after this pregnancy.' Prue complained.

'You're already fat, what are you talking about?' Piper grinned, as she began to make iced roses.

'I mean non-pregnant fat. Do you have any idea the amount of calories I must be obtaining right now?' Prue wailed, though she didn't stop eating.

'Oh don't worry about it. With all the demon ass kicking we do you'll loose any extra pounds in no time.' Piper said, as she took out a tube of pink icing and fixed on a smaller nozzle.

'Serena! Se-re-na!' Paige cooed, waving about a small, soft elephant that made a little rattling sound.

Piper smiled at her new niece, who gurgled, before beginning to write in icing 'Happy Birthday Lila!'

The phone rang. Paige picked up. 'Hello? Are you serious?' Paige handed the phone to Piper, who listened for a moment, talked rapidly then hung up.

'There are some problems at P3.' Piper said as she hung up. 'The band playing tonight pulled out and the back up band I had are being picky about dressing rooms and such. I have to get over there and sort things out.'

'Okay. What about the cake? Can you leave it there?' Prue asked, frowning.

'Yeah Prue might go after it.' Paige joked.

'Oh ha-ha.' Prue said sourly.

Piper waved her hands at the cake. 'It's frozen now. Nobody can eat it, dislodge it and it won't melt.' She grabbed her keys and her purse. 'I'll see you guys. I should be back in about an hour. At tops try two otherwise I'll call. Could one of you fix Wyatt and Melinda a snack when they get home?'

Prue and Paige both grunted, which meant one of them would. Once Piper had gone, Paige looked at Prue.

'I kind of had plans with Glen.' She mumbled. 'You know? Spend a romantic Friday night together? We haven't done that in a while, what with Serena.'

'I get it.' Prue nodded. 'Go ahead. What are your plans anyway?'

'We're meeting as soon as he gets off work. We're going to the theatre. There's a play on.' Paige grinned. 'I need something glamorous.' She patted her tummy. 'Lucky I shed those pregnancy pounds, huh?'

Prue grumbled something about her doing the same thing. 'And?'

'I was hoping to go shopping.' Paige made a face. 'Can you handle the kids? I know I shouldn't ditch you with them but.'

'It's fine.' Prue waved at her. 'Go ahead.'

'Prue you are a life saver.' Paige grabbed her keys, waved and ran out. Prue finished the ice cream and felt bloated.

'Cravings or no cravings, I've got to stop eating.' She said.

The front door slammed and in trooped Wyatt and Melinda.

'Hi Auntie Prue!' Melinda said cheerfully.

'Hi Mellie. How was kindergarten?' Prue asked. Melinda went to kindergarten once a week, on Friday's.

'It was great! Do you like my painting?' Melinda asked, waving a picture.

'Finger painting huh? Looks great. Hang it on the fridge.' Prue said.

'Okay.'

Prue frowned. 'Damn. I'm getting a call from the elders. It's important. Wyatt and Melinda can you please, please take care of Serena? It's simple stuff I swear.'

'I'm seven!' Wyatt exclaimed. 'You think I can't take care of a baby? Humph!'

'You can which is why I'm asking. Now I've really got to go. I won't be long.' Prue waved and orbed out.

Wyatt started his homework - he was learning his two times tables - while Melinda played with her doll.

'I'll get you witches.' Someone snarled. Melinda and Wyatt both looked up and screamed as a demon started towards them.

'Wyatt! Do something!' Melinda squealed.

'Me?' Wyatt roared. 'What do you expect me to do?'

'I don't know!' Melinda grabbed Wyatt's hand and orbed them upstairs to the attic.

'Do you remember what we over heard three months ago?' Wyatt asked, as he began to push assorted objects against the doorway.

'Um. No?'

'You, Gracie and I are going to be the next power of three. Dad explained it to me once.' Wyatt said, trying to keep his cool. He was actually doing pretty well for a seven year old.

'Right. And?'

'Well I don't even know where mom and everyone else is. But Grace is at Uncle Cole's.'

'Ex-Unkie Cole.' Melinda corrected him, beginning to help him push things against the door.

'Whatever. All we got to do is go get her and then we just do what everyone else does. Vanquish! It can't be that hard.' Wyatt said.

Melinda nodded. 'Only I can't orb. Mommy said so.'

'Probably because you'd orb to the Golden Bridge or something.' Wyatt muttered. 'Well my orbing is okay. So I'll orb my way to the penthouse. I might take some stops in between so I don't end up somewhere completely different.'

'What about me?' Melinda squawked. 'Someone has to stay here to look after the book of shadows! But I'm too young!'

'I can't explode people though. So if he comes through freeze him, blow him up! Orb away! Just use your powers!' Wyatt called, before orbing out.

'Oh great.' Melinda muttered. 'I get stuck with exploding the demon.'
