CHILD OF THE WHITELIGHTER
DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the Charmed characters, although it would be nice to own Leo. (wink wink) The characters Caiti, her friends, and her mother Jeanne are my own creation; please don't use them without asking me first.
A/N: i am very well aware of the fact that most 11-month-olds are unable to speak in somewhat coherent sentences, but we all know that Wyatt is not your average 11-month-old. also, i would like to tell all my readers not to expect a chapter on the 17th because it is my birthday and i will be having my friends over to celebrate. i might post a chapter that day right after school, but if i do, it will be a short one. i just thought it was right to alert my readers so they didn't think i forgot about them.

cricketlover- yeah, it kinda does, doesn't it? i thought it would be only natural, since she's his only daughter and he doesn't really like Chris. yeah, i saw a bit of that one. i love when he runs into the kitchen and stops mid-sentence to say, "why is there a unicorn in the kitchen?" it's kinda weird that he wouldn't notice a unicorn in the middle of the kitchen right away. i know i would. anyways, about Cole and Phoebe, you will find out later. suffice it to say that they don't hate each other anymore. sorry, but i have to save some things as surprises! Chris lives in the same apartment that he did in Sunday's episode, except you get to see more of it, like the living room. i might have enlarged it a bit for the purposes of my story, but other than that, it's the same place. there will be a Piper/Leo moment soon, i promise. anyways, like always, keep reading, reviewing, and enjoying!
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN
As Chris and Caiti pulled away from the manor, Caiti looked back and saw her father looking out the window at them. "He's watching us," Caiti said to Chris in a spooky voice. Chris laughed and said, "Well, he shouldn't be upset about this, seeing as him and Piper started out this way. Besides, does he really think that I'd let you get hurt?" Caiti said, "I can speak for myself, but I can't speak for my dad, unless he starts sending me psychic messages or something. So," Caiti said, changing the subject, "Where are we going for dinner?" "It's a surprise," Chris said, "But I can guarantee you'll enjoy it." They talked the rest of the car ride, and when the car finally stopped, Caiti gasped. "This is the Hard Rock Café!" she exclaimed. Chris smiled and said, "I knew you'd like it." He held his arm out and said, "Shall we?" Caiti took his arm and they walked into the restaurant. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once inside the restaurant, Caiti was amazed at all of the memorabilia the restaurant had on its walls. When they were seated, Chris told Caiti about all the things that were near their table. Caiti nearly fainted when she realized the suit she was sitting next to belonged to Elton John, and the guitar in the case next to it was George Harrison's. "So," Caiti said after they had gotten their drinks, "Who tipped you off about the restaurant? Was it the handiwork of my friends? Or was it someone else?" Chris laughed and said, "Well, when I was in Pittsburgh getting the food from your grandmother, I also ran into your grandfather, and he told me. I think I surprised him when I asked his permission to go out with you, I guess he's not used to that. After I did, he was more than willing to tell me where you might like to go. I also found out that Dave and Buster's is a big hit with you." Caiti laughed and said, "It is, and not just because of the arcade. The food's really good too, especially the Bananas Foster pie." "I figured you'd mention a dessert," Chris said, "So, you've really never been in one of these before?" "I've really never been in one before," Caiti said, "There was one at Station Square in Pittsburgh, but I never got the chance to go there." "Well," Chris said as their food arrived, "Now's your chance, and I want you to enjoy it." Caiti smiled and said, "I'm sure I will." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When they were finished eating, Caiti insisted on paying half the bill, a gesture that Chris appreciated, because, as he put it, "How many girls do you meet these days that are actually willing to pay for part of their date?" After paying the bill, they started driving back to Chris' apartment when Chris stopped at a gas station. "I'm gonna fill up the car, if you wanna get some snacks for the movie, go ahead," he said. "I'll wait until you're done," Caiti said, "That way, I don't get something you don't want." "OK," Chris said, "If you want to." Caiti washed the windshield while Chris finished filling the tank. When they went in the little convenience store to pay for the gas, Chris and Caiti got some food and drinks before paying for the gas. When they had paid for the food and the gas, they got back into the car and drove the rest of the way to the apartment. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Oh my god," Caiti said, laughing, "I can't believe it." "What?" Chris asked. They were sitting on the couch in Chris' apartment watching "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" and it had just come to the part in the movie when Sir Lancelot was killing all the people at the wedding. "I can't believe that he just ran through and killed all those people, and that they made it funny," Caiti said. "Well," said Chris, "Monty Python manages to make a lot of things funny that aren't." "Wait a minute," Caiti said, "Are we trying to find logic in a Monty Python movie?" "You know what?" Chris said, "I think we are." "What the hell were we thinking?" Caiti asked. Chris laughed and said, "I have no idea." "The movie is making us stupid!" Caiti laughed. "OK, I think we should finish the movie before we go insane," Chris said, "That way, when we do go insane, we'll have an excuse." "I think you may be right about that," Caiti said, and they went back to watching the movie. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, back at the manor, Leo was sitting in the living room, waiting for Caiti to get home from her date with Chris. Piper came downstairs and said, "Honey, she's 18 years old, you don't have to worry about her." "I'm worried about Chris," Leo said, "What if he does the same thing to Caiti that he did to me? What if he sends her somewhere?" Piper sat down next to Leo on the couch and said, "He won't hurt her. I think he might even love her." "What?" Leo exclaimed, "He's only known her for a week, how could he already be in love with her?" "There is such a thing as love at first sight, you know," Piper said. "I guess," Leo admitted, "But still, I'm worried." "I know, I know," said Piper, "She's your only daughter. But she's 18, and she can take care of herself. Now come on, you need your sleep." "Fine, but as soon as she comes home, I'm back downstairs," Leo said. Piper shook her head, and they orbed up to bed. But unbeknownst to them, Phoebe, Paige and Cole had come downstairs and were listening to Caiti and Chris, who had just come back. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When the movie was over, Chris drove Caiti back to the manor. He walked her up to the door and stood there for a minute, not saying anything. Finally, Caiti said, "I had a great time tonight." "Me too," Chris said, "I'd like to do it again sometime." "Me too," Caiti said. Chris smiled, then leaned in for a kiss before orbing out of sight. Caiti looked at the window, catching Cole, Phoebe, and Paige, shook her head at them, then orbed up to bed.
