Normality Interrupted

"Cole, can you watch Ashton for a couple hours?" Phoebe called through the house. It was Monday, and Cole had Monday's

off, so he usually watched Ashton while she went to Piper's with Paige for a couple of hours. Leo always watched Jonathen

Mailee upstairs so the girls could have time alone.

"Yes,"he responded,"Here, Ashton's sleeping upstairs, so I'll take you."he said, coming into the room.

"No, Cole, I'm perfectly capable of going myself. Besides, he's 3, and can get out of his room at any point in time."

"I'm aware of that. Fine, I'll see you in a couple hours."

"Don't forget to pick up Alex at 11:30. I'll be home in time to get Adam."

"Ok,"Cole said, drawing her in to a gentle kiss. When they pulled apart, they were standing in the entrance way of the Manor.

"COLE!"Phoebe said, and playfully hit him on the arm,"Go home, Ashton's all alone!!"

"Alright, alright!" he said, shimmering out.

"Phoebe!!"Paige said coming into the room, Piper behind her.

"I didn't here you come in,"Piper said smiling,"Then again, I heard you talking to Cole, so that would explain alot."

They laughed.

"Paige, how's your girls liking full day school?"Phoebe asked as they sat down in the kitchen. Piper was putting tea and cookies

on the table.

"Oh, they like it fine! It's their teacher that isn't happy." she responded, frowning.

"Oh! What did they do?" Piper asked.

"Well, seeing as they are identical, they keep switching places, coming to the wrong name, and even swapping classroom

chores! Jazmin was supposed to be on clean-up duty, but since Jennifer is the neat-freak, they swapped for that, and Jazmin

got to be special helper two days in a row!"

Piper and Phoebe laughed.

"That's not funny! I've had to go down and talk to their teacher 3 times already, and it's only the 3rd week!" Paige protested.

"Yeah, ok, that's only sort of funny,"Phoebe said, biting her lip to stop from laughing,"I wouldn't like it if I had to go in, but hey,

I don't have twins!"

"And I asked for it?"

"But you love them,"Piper said,"And that really is all that matters."

"You're right,"Paige said,"Sometimes I lose sight of that, even-"

She was inturrupted by a crash, and a yell, coming from upstairs.

"Leo,"Piper said, getting up and running upstairs.

When they got to Leo in the nurery, he was lying on the floor, unconcious.

"Oh my god, Leo!!" Piper called, running over to him. She felt all around him for blood, but thankfully, she found none.

"Where's the kids?" Phoebe said faintly.

"Oh my god!!!" Paige cried.

Piper looked up. Finally, after shaking Leo for a moment, he sat up slowly.

"Piper, a demon, had Ashton with him, took Mailee...and Jimmy," he said hoarsly.

Piper hugged him tight, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Let's go to the book,"Paige said, her arm around Phoebe.

Phoebe was gasping for breath, trying to grasp the fact that her baby was gone.

"It'll be ok," Paige said, trying to comfort her, tears rolling down her own cheeks.

They headed upstairs together, Leo walking carefully.

"We'll get them back, hon, don't worry."Leo said, hugging Piper.

"I hope so," she replied.
