O.O
I would just like to thank everyone who has been sticking by me throughout this fan fiction. I really appreciate all the support, and I promise that this fanfic will become the drama of a teenage boy who's parents are divorced, and who live across the country from one another. Now, on with the chapter!
Coping With Two Homes:
Chapter 10: Smiles
Piper smiled as her and Leo walked in . "Having fun?" she asked, raising her eyebrows.
Chris turned around quickly and backed away from Bianca as she turned around slowly.
"No. Have fun. Don't mind us," Piper said, grabbing Leo's shirt sleeve and pulling him out of the kitchen.
"Mom, why are you here?" Chris asked, following them.
"Oh, sure, you ask about me but not about your father," Piper said, raising an eyebrow and sitting down on the couch.
"I didn't mean it like that," Chris said, walking over to her. He glanced at Leo and then looked back at Piper. "Really. It's just that you were the one making comments."
Piper smiled. "I understand. Well, actually, everyone's going to be out tonight, so your father and I were wondering if we could eat over here. I love Bianca's meatloaf. And so does Leo."
Bianca walked in, smiling. "Sure. I'd love it if you guys would stay for dinner," she said. Then she looked confused. "But where are Chris, Wyatt, and Wyatt?"
Chris chuckled as Leo and Piper smiled, turning back towards Bianca. "You know that sounds so weird, right?"
Bianca laughed slightly. "Yeah. It does. But there's no way around it."
"Good point," Chris said, smiling. "Well, I'm going to go mix that meat." Then he headed into the kitchen.
Leo smiled and winked at Piper. "Well, actually, Chris is out on a date -"
"With who?" Chris and Bianca asked quickly, Chris's head showing up in the bar window.
"With Bianca," Piper said, smiling.
Bianca smiled. "That's great." She looked back at Chris. "Right?"
Chris smiled at her lovingly. "That's perfect."
Bianca turned back to Piper. "And Wyatt and Wyatt?"
"Your Wyatt is on a date with a beautiful woman, and our Wyatt is also on a date," Piper said, realizing that all of her sons were on dates . . . Well, technically.
"Yeah. Great," Chris said, staring at Bianca with dreamy eyes, Leo smirking at him for a second and then looking down at the floor, still smirking.
Piper stood up. "I have an idea. How about when Brian gets home -"
Brian orbed in with Stacey, smiling.
"Okay. When Brian and Stacey get home, which they are now, we can take them out to a movie, and then to dinner?" Piper finished, looking from Brian to Stacey.
"Oh, you guys don't have to do that," Chris said, wiping off his hands and walking into the living room.
"No. It's okay. It's no trouble at all," Leo said after glancing at Piper.
"Okay, but no movie. I don't want Brian and Stacey to be in a dark theater together," Chris said, standing next to Bianca.
Bianca faced him. "Honey, your parents are going to be there. It's not like they'll let them leave or let them make out," she said, smiling slightly.
"Well, my mom won't but I'm not too sure about my dad," Chris said smiling, causing Leo to walk over and hit him upside the head. "Ow! I was just joking." he added, rubbing his head.
"Can we go to a movie now?" Brian asked smiling and raising his eyebrows, putting his arm around Stacey's waist.
"Uh . . . Yeah. Sure," Leo said, grabbing Piper's hand and walking out of the house with Brian and Stacey.
"Well, we have the house to ourselves for at least three and a half hours," Bianca said, turning to Chris.
"And the meatloaf takes two hours to make," Chris said, leading her back into the kitchen.
Bianca forced a smile. "Right. The meatloaf," she said, following him.
O.O
Twenty minutes later, Piper, Brian, Stacey, and Leo sat in the movie theater, watching a romantic action movie, Brian and Stacey sitting between Piper and Leo.
Piper sighed, glancing over at Leo behind Brian and Stacey, missing him during this romantic part of the movie. Then she got fed up with it, stepped over Brian and Stacey, and sat in the empty seat next to Leo.
"Piper, what are you doing?" Leo asked, staring at her with a confused expression.
"I'm sitting next to my husband," Piper said, facing him. Then she frowned. "What, do you not want to sit next to me?"
Leo smiled and put his arm around her shoulders, leaning in to kiss her. "I never said that," he said, then placed a soft kiss on her lips.
Piper smiled. "Good," she said, kissing him deeply.
"Ew. Okay, we really didn't need to see that," Brian said with a disgusted look.
Piper looked at him. "Watch the movie and you won't," she said, then she turned back to Leo, smiled, and kissed him deeply again.
Stacey turned to Brian and whispered, "Want to get out of here for awhile?"
Brian smiled. "Hell yeah," he said, grabbing her hand. Then he snuck away with her from Leo and Piper into a private bathroom, orbing out.
O.O
"Oh shit," Piper said, staring at Brian and Stacey's empty seats. "We lost our own son's son."
Leo sighed. "We'll find them later. Let them have fun for now."
"What if they have too much fun?" Piper asked, raising her eyebrows.
"Or now would be good," Leo said, standing up.
"Yeah," Piper said, also standing up and following Leo out the door .
O.O
Phoebe put down her fork at the restaurant she was at with her daughter Prue and Paige.
"Paige, when are you going to settle down and start a family?" she asked, staring at her little sister.
"Shesh, Mom. Forward enough?" the ten year old asked, diving back into her french fries.
Paige sighed. "I don't know, Phoebe. Maybe never. Maybe I'm destined to be alone and stay at the manor forever."
"Well, we are going to find you a man right now, because that is not your destiny. And we are going to find me a man, too, because I have been divorced for seven years now and I'm not getting any younger," Phoebe said, standing up.
Then two gorgeous men walked over, Phoebe and Paige recognizing one of them instantly.
"Cole?" Phoebe asked, staring at him.
O.O
"Why did we have to double date again?" Bianca asked Wyatt, raising her eyebrows.
"Because I am not letting my little brother date a nineteen year old without supervision," Wyatt said, smiling at her.
"But you take all the fun out of it," Chris whined, looking pleadingly at Wyatt. "Be a nice older brother and go away."
"Chris, she is four years older than you. I doubt that she is still a virgin. If it were up to me, I wouldn't even be letting you talk to her, let alone date her," Wyatt said, putting an arm around his date, Vera's arms.
"We don't have to take this," Chris said, standing up. "C'mon, Bianca. Let's go to your house for a little fun, huh?"
Bianca stood up. "But, Chris -"
Chris grabbed her hand and walked out the door.
"Damn it," Wyatt said, turning to Vera. "I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to cut our date short," he added, before running out the door after Chris.
O.O
Wyatt orbed next to Piper and Leo, two minutes later, looking freaked.
"Wyatt, what's wrong?" Leo asked, looking concerned.
"I was double dating with Chris, right? So -"
"Wait. You were what?" Piper asked, staring at him.
"Well, it's just that Bianca's four years older than him. And I didn't want my baby brother to rush into anything, you know?" Wyatt asked, looking from Piper to Leo.
"Okay," Leo said, nodding. "Go on."
"Well, I got Chris pissed at me and now they're at Bianca's house having -- and I quote -- 'a little fun'," Wyatt said, starting to look stressed.
"I'll go," Leo said, taking a few deep breaths, trying not to get pissed off. "Piper, Wyatt, you two take care of Brian and Stacey," he added before orbing next to Chris and Bianca, who were making out on Bianca's bed, Chris and Bianca's shirts both off. "Chris, you are in so deep."
"Dad!" Chris said in surprise, getting off of Bianca quickly and facing Leo. He chuckled nervously. "We were just -"
"I saw for my own eyes what you two were doing. Our should I say 'about to be doing'," he said, grabbing Chris's arm and shirt, and orbing into Chris's room. "Chris, how could you be so stupid?!"
"Dad, I'm sorry, I just -"
"No, Chris! You are only fifteen! Remember that!" Leo yelled as Chris sat on the bed slowly. "If I am going to let you go on dates, the least you can do is make sure I can trust you!"
Chris looked down at the floor. "Dad, I'm really sorry."
"I know you are, Chris, but that doesn't make up for that fact that I let you go out with someone who is four years older than you, and this is how you repay me! You are grounded for two months!"
Chris looked up at him quickly, tears evident in his eyes. "But, Dad -"
"No, Chris! I have made up my mind! You're lucky your brother came and got me when he did, because if you had gone any further, your powers would be bound by tomorrow morning!" Leo yelled. Then he looked down at Chris and saw how upset he was, and his face softened. He sighed and sat next to Chris. "Chris . . . I'm sorry for yelling. It's just that you can't go around doing things like that at fifteen. Especially before talking about it to me first."
Chris looked over at him and nodded. "I won't. I promise. I'll talk to you about it . . . Even though I know that I will get extremely embarrassed two minutes into the discussion," he said, smiling slightly.
Leo smiled and looked down at the floor. Then he looked up at Chris, still smiling. "Well, I'm glad. I want us to be able to talk no matter what. Okay?"
Chris nodded and smiled wider. "Okay, Dad," he said, letting himself to be pulled into a hug. "Am I still grounded?"
Leo pulled away from Chris and smiled. "Yes, you are still grounded," he said, getting off the bed. He looked down at Chris. "And whenever you need to talk, I'm here."
Chris smiled. "I know. Thanks, Dad," he said.
Leo looked confused. "For what?"
"For always being there for me, no matter what. Whenever I need you."
Leo smiled down at him. "I'll always be here for you. No matter what," he said before orbing next to Piper, Wyatt, Brian, and Stacey. "Now for you."
Piper smiled. "We got it all worked out. And we're not telling Chris, or he will never trust us with his son ever again."
"I have a feeling I can sway his mind," Wyatt said, smiling.
Leo smiled at him. "I'm sure you can."
"So you guys can still tell him, and Brian will still get in trouble," Wyatt said, smirking slyly over at Brian.
"Nah. I think we'll be cool grandparents this time," Piper said, smiling up at Leo.
"I agree," Leo said, smiling back down at her.
"Thank god," Brian said, sighing in relief.
"Well, we never finished that movie, so let's go see another," Leo said, looking at everyone. "And this time Wyatt can come, too."
"Good. Because I just ditched my date and I'm not in the mood to face her," Wyatt said, sighing.
Leo smiled and rolled his eyes. "Then let's go."
O.O.O.O.O
I know I said that Chapter 4 for Past Consequences was the update for any of my stories until I get back, unless I'm able to update while on vacation, but I couldn't help myself. I was in the mood to write. And sorry that this chapter didn't really go with the story. I was just in a mood where I just let it flow. I promise that the next chapter will go along with the story. Review, please! Ciao!
