Family Affair
Chapter 19: Wyatt Is Always A Halliwell
*****April 12, 2004 (Easter Day)*****
"Daddy look! Mine is half pink and half purple!" Pearl said, as she held up her half pink and half purple Easter egg.
"That looks beautiful!" Glenn said, as he smiled at his daughter. She was the spitting image of her mother, Paige. "I've never seen such a wonderful Easter egg." Glenn said, as he admired his daughter's Easter egg.
Pearl grinned and soaked up the compliment. She didn't get to spend a lot of time with her father, because his job always had him going places, but when she did....well, she couldn't get enough of it. Pearl gently placed the egg into the empty egg carton with the other dyed eggs, so it could dry. She took the dipper and placed another egg in it, a plain one. "What color should we color this one?" Pearl asked, as she looked up at her father.
Glenn considered the question for a moment and then gently picked the egg up from the dipper. "I have another idea." He said. He reached into the egg dying kit and pulled out a clear crayon. He carefully wrote something onto the egg, but since the crayon was clear, you couldn't see it.
"Whatd you do that for, daddy? You can't even see it....Maybe we should try a colorful crayon?" Pearl suggested.
Glenn smiled and shook his head. "Trust your dad now. It's...magic." He said, then winked at his daughter. "Let's put it in purple, for mommy." Glenn suggested, as he placed the egg back in the dipper.
Pearl shrugged. 'Magic?' She thought. 'Daddy doesn't have powers....' Pearl continued to think. She rolled her eyes and dunked the egg into the purple dye.
"Now, leave it in there for a long time, so the color can get really pretty for mommy." Glenn said, as he patted his daughter's back. "I just know she'll love it!" He said, with a grin.
"How do you know, daddy?" Pearl asked, with curiosity.
"Because, I've know your mommy for a really, really long time." Glenn answered; putting emphasis on the words, really really long time.
Pearl nodded in agreement. "Okay, but I hope you're right about that." She said, as she stared at the purple dye.
"I am, trust me." Glenn said, then he kissed the top of his daughter's head.
There was a loud thud, as the front doors of the Manor flew open.
"Phiona!" Piper's voice bellowed, she was still outside the Manor.
Phiona burst into kitchen. "Guess what!" Phiona said, in a singsong voice.
"What?!" Pearl asked, turning her attention to her younger cousin.
"Uncle Glenn, Pearl, it's so awesome!" Phiona giggled.
Glenn smiled at his niece. "What it is?" He asked, with curiosity. He could almost act like a kid himself sometimes, which is why he got along with his daughter and his niece so well.
"Mommy bought so much stuff! It was great! She is gonna beak a ham and we getta help her!" Phiona burst out. She loved helping her mother with cooking, it made her feel really important.
"Cool!" Pearl said. She loved spending time with her cousin and especially loved it when her Aunt Piper wanted her and Phiona to help her cook.
Glenn clapped his hands. "Well, I'm sure this will be the best meal ever! Whenever you help out Piper, things turn out wonderful!" He responded, with a wink.
Piper wabbled into the kitchen, trying to balance a load of bags on each arm. "Phiona Melinda Wyatt!" Piper yelled, in a warning tone.
"Oh! You got the full name!" Pearl said, as she pointed to her cousin. Pearl knew that whenever one of them was called by their entire name; first, middle, and last; it meant business!
"What have I told you about using your powers outside of the Manor?!" Piper asked, still trying to balance the bags.
Glenn stood up and took about 4 bags from his sister-in-law. "Looks like you need some help." He said.
"Thanks." Piper said, as she placed the rest of the bags on the counter. She returned her attention to her daughter.
Phiona fluttered her eyelashes and gave her mother the best innocent look that she could muster up. "What did me do, mommy?" She asked, innocently.
Piper frowned and shook her finger. "You used your powers to open the doors, outside! What if someone had saw the orbs fly from your hands?!" Piper asked, a hint of frusteration in her tone.
"I'm real sorry mommy! I promise never to use my powers in public again!" Phiona said.
Piper paused for a moment, remembering when she had gone to the future and her daughter in the future had said the same thing, Piper shook the thought away. "You had better not, or there will be severe punishment!" Piper warned.
Glenn turned to Piper. "Well, if it'll help any, I can watch both girls for a little while. You look exhasted, you should probably get some rest. We'll put away the grocieries, won't we girls?" Glenn asked, as he looked at Pearl and Phiona. He sent them a look that was clear they needed to agree with him.
Pearl nodded. "Yeah! Yeah, Auntie Piper, you should go take a nap! It'll make you feel better, like you and mommy always tell Phiona and I to do!" Pearl said, as she pointed to the doorway.
"Yep! Time for sleepiness! Gotta go to bed!" Phiona said, trying to hold back giggles. It wasn't every day she could tell her mom to take a nap, in fact, this was the first time she ever had and it would probably be the last.
Piper gave Glenn a questioning look. "Are you sure that you can handle, both, of them?" She asked, putting emphasis on the word, both. She was obviously very skeptical.
Glenn nodded. "Of course I can, how much trouble can two little girls be?" He asked.
Piper covered her mouth to keep from errupting with laughter. 'Ha! He is in way over his head! But, the only way to learn, is to find out yourself.' Piper thought. "Ya know, you're absolutely right. I'm going to go take a nap and you can have the girls all to yourself." Piper said, as she walked out of the room. She began to walk up the stairs and stopped for a moment. "Have fun!" She called, in a mischevious tone. Then she quickly rushed to her room.
'That was too easy....Ugh, I wonder what she knows.' Glenn thought, as he turned back to the girls. He gasped, as he saw a glass jar smashing to the floor with a loud crack. "No wonder...." He muttered. He walked over to the pile of glass and began to clean up the mess.
A bright swirl of rainbow colored light flashed in a dark cave, illuminating the area. There in the center of the cave sat a beautiful, golden egg, incrusted with different jewels of all different colors.
A man shimmered into the room and immediately began to chant in Latin. The egg began to glow brightly and shoot rays of rainbow colored light from the jewels.
Pearl and Phiona were playing a game of Tag, in the living room, while they were waiting for Glenn to finish cleaning up in the kitchen.
"I'm so gonna get you!" Pearl called, as she was gaining on her younger cousin.
"No way!" Phiona said, as she continued to run. Suddenly rays of rainbow colored light surrounded Phiona and then she vanished.
Pearl skidded to a stop. "Phiona?" Pearl asked. She paused, waiting for an answer, but there was none. "Phiona?" She asked again. But her cousin had just vanished. "This is not good...." She whispered. Pearl turned and walked into the kitchen. "Daddy...." Pearl's voice trailed off. TO BE CONTINUED....
A/N: I hope you get the title. "Why It Is Always A Halliwell" turned to "Wyatt Is Always A Halliwell". ::rolls eyes:: I know, I know, it stinks. lol
