Chapter Three
Chris gurgled at Wyatt moments before he disappeared in a swirl of blue and white lights, leaving Wyatt sitting alone with a look of hatred plastered on his face.
Leo Wyatt sighed and gathered up the sheets of information from the bar. He was in P3, his ex-wife's club, and was attempting to help out with the paperwork while Piper recovered from her c-section.
He jumped off the barstool that he was perched upon and headed towards the office. He dropped the paperwork as soon as he stepped inside.
Perched on the couch was Baby Chris, Leo's newest son. Immediately Leo ran over to the small infant. He quickly scooped up the boy and hugged him close, fearing that a demon that been the cause for Chris's orbing to the office.
He expected Christopher to burst out in a string of wails like Wyatt did when demons attacked, but nothing came. After a few moments of hesitation, Leo loosened his grip on his son and picked up the paperwork.
"Way to use your powers, Chris" Leo whispered into his son's ear, his voice was full of pride. "Come on Buddy, lets get you home" With that Leo orbed out, still clutching onto Chris's small frame.

Piper sighed, throwing the instructions on the ground. It had been just over an hour since they had started to assemble the easy-to-assemble cot. And each of the sisters were starting to get annoyed with each other and the crib in general.
She walked over to the bed and sat down, watching as Phoebe tried once more before she joined Piper. Wyatt, who had orbed back to his Mother's bed crawled over and sat on Phoebe's lap.
"I think it's time to call for Leo now" Phoebe suggested, staring at the half-finished cot.
Paige opened her mouth, about to call for Leo, but she was cut off by the sight of orbs filling the room, next to Piper's bed. She smiled when the orbs took the shape of Leo and disappeared.
"Resorting to kidnapping him now?" Paige joked when she spotted Chris in Leo's arms. Leo started to walk towards Piper; he placed the small bundle in her arms and stood back.
Before Leo could retort Chris burst out in a string of cries. Immediately Piper's parenting instincts kicked in and she started to rock and hush the boy.
"I should get going, let you put him down for a nap..." Leo paused "Oh by the way, here's the paperwork I'd say I do" He handed the papers to Piper and prepared to orb out.
Piper took the papers and looked over them. Leo had promised to do the filing, and judging by the state of the papers, he hadn't done any of it. "Wait! Leo before you go...can you do me a favor?"

Piper settled down into the wooden chair, placing her cup of coffee on the table in front of her. She sighed as she looked over the papers. So much for being help, Leo She thought bitterly as she picked up the top piece of paper.
It was the day after they had found out that Chris could use his powers. They had spent the day praising the boy, even though they had no idea why he had used them. Then Piper had got Leo to finish assembling the young boy's cot, which took him about five minutes.
Today, Piper planned to do nothing but re-do the paperwork that Leo had 'started. She sat Wyatt in front of the television with his toy cars and had laid Chris down in the playpen. She had also anointed Paige as the boy's nanny for the day.
Piper quickly got to work, as she planned to spend the afternoon with her sons. She was half way through the first page when the doorbell sung out in its familiar tune.
"Paige! Door!" she called out, not looking up from her paperwork.
"I know!" Paige yelled back as she stomped down the stairs. "I'm not deaf, you know!"
Paige opened the door to the guest. She looked up and down the stranger. "Hello? How may I help you?"
The woman at the door had blonde hair and was wearing shaggy clothes that Paige could have swore she had saw on a homeless man on the side of the street. The woman was holding a baby in her arms and was holding onto two other small children, which Paige guessed to be twins.
"Piper Halliwell?" The woman asked, rocking the small infant of hers in her arms.
"No, I'm Paige Matthews" Paige stuck out her hand, but the woman rejected it, looking at Paige like she was scum.
"Oh, you must be the nanny" Without pausing to look at Paige's expression the woman continued. "Is Piper home?"
"That's me," Piper said, walking out of the kitchen. Upon hearing her name, she had got up to investigate.
"Hello, I'm Tara Andrews..."When she received a blank expression she continued. "...From Every little Step. I'm here for the get-together?" Once again Piper stared back with confusion. "You did get the message? I left it with a woman...I think her name was Phoebe"
Piper shook her head in confusion and dumbness. "No message...What Get together?"
"The monthly get together that Every Little step puts on? We picked your name out of the hat. Marie said you had agreed to becoming a member" Tara explained. "Oh, doesn't matter, Piper..."
Piper sighed in relief. She had too much on her plate today to worry about entertaining woman and their babies.
"...Every member brings a little something to share so you won't have to cook anything" Tara continued on before pushing past Piper and walking through the hall, looking for the kitchen.
Piper turned to Paige; both of them had matching expressions of confusion. Paige was about to comment on something when the doorbell was once again rung. Piper opened the door, exposing another two women, both with babies in tow. The women introduced themselves then rushed past Piper when they saw Tara.
Before long, the house was full of women, two or three men and small infants or toddlers. Piper was walking around, trying to make sure nothing out of the ordinary happened and that everyone was entertained. However just to be safe, Piper had taken Chris up to her room for his nap.
Piper slumped into a chair, having received a headache from all the noise that the parents and children were causing. She watched as Paige quickly walked away from a woman and towards Piper.
"Alright, that's the fifth person who has thought I was the Nanny" Paige looked down at Piper. Piper looked up at her and smiled.
"At least nothing magical has happened" Piper's voice was in a soft whisper when she said Magical. She didn't feel like trying to explain herself to a house full of guests.
"Touch Wood!" Paige said quickly. Piper stared at her with a blank look. "Quickly, touch something wood or you'll..."
Before Paige could finish her sentence, the pair's attention was diverted to the sight of white and blue orbs in the playpen. Immediately Piper shot out her hands, freezing the room. Once the room was frozen, her and Paige stood up and ran over to the playpen, where Chris had formed.
"Told you you should have touched wood!" Paige said matter-of-factly as Piper reached down into the playpen and picked up Chris.
"Bad baby, no more orbing" Piper said, pointing her index finger in front of Chris's face. Chris reached out and grabbed her finger with his tiny hands.
Wyatt, who was sitting across from his mother and Aunt, smiled as an idea came to mind. All he needed to do was make Christopher use his powers in front of the crowd, then just maybe his mother would take him back to where she bought him from.

The clock on the wall ticked over to show three P.m., making Piper sigh. The Gang had been there for over four hours and still hadn't left. Piper and Paige had spent the day serving food and explaining that Paige was Piper's sister, not the hired help. In fact, they had been so busy that they hadn't realized that Wyatt had orbed upstairs to see his little brother.
Wyatt stood at the door of the nursery, staring at the wooden crib that Chris was lying peacefully in. He took two steps towards the crib before orbing out in swirls of blue and white lights.
He reappeared seconds later at the end of the crib, waking up Baby Chris has he did so. Immediately Wyatt raised his force field just enough so that it didn't hit his brother. Slowly the force field started to grow.
Seeing the danger he was in, Chris orbed out.

Piper sighed, slumping into the comfortable armchair and resting her feet on the coffee table. She laid her head back and smiled. The group of mothers and fathers had finally left, and Chris had finally gone to sleep.
She was exhausted; freezing the house of occupants had taken a lot out of her. And it seemed that every time she left Chris alone for a second, he would orb to her for comfort. She was definitely not happy about Chris's fast improvement of powers.
Paige trudged into the room, holding two cups of coffee in her hands. She handed one to Piper before sitting down next to her. She took a large sip before started to analyze the day. "Well it was...interesting" She took another sip before continuing. "What was up with our neurotic little nephew? He was a tad bit clingy today, don't you reckon?"
"Yeah...I'll check the book tomorrow, in case it's a demon...," Piper said with a yawn. She looked over at Wyatt, who was sitting in the playpen, playing with his toy truck.
"Tomorrow? The fate of my nephew, your son, is in danger and you will look tomorrow?" Paige replied, disgusted by Piper's lack of enthusiasm in her statement.
Piper rolled her head over to face Paige. "Do you want to do it?"
Paige was silent for a moment, considering her options. "No" she finally said, dropping the subject completely. "Where's Phoebe?"
"Out with a date. She's been gone since last night. But when she gets home, she's dead!"
