Mahina stood in front of a bathroom mirror later that evening, examining her reflection; she had let Paige Matthews do this to her, and she couldn't ever remember looking like this. Her long, curly blonde hair was now shoulder length and straight, her eyes appearing to pop out of her head. Goddess, she looked different...
What was she going to tell Chris she wondered as she made her way down the stairs, about the deal she had made... and how would he react now that the one secret she'd never told him was out? She didn't know who her father WAS so Mahina honestly didn't understand WHY it would have been so important to SAY anything. As she got to the landing on the stairs, she realized that SHE was the topic of conversation in the foyer.
"Leo, send her home. She doesn't belong here, it's dangerous."
MEN, Mahina thought, always thinking they knew what was best for women. Especially when it applied to her and Christopher Perry Halliwell; he always managed to make her feel like a child. "You know," she said, leaning against the railing, "I'm standing RIGHT behind you."
"Mahina I didn't-" Chris' sentence was cut short as he turned and looked towards her. Before she could even say anything, he was behind her and sticking his jacket around her shoulders. "Paige, what were you thinking? She can't go like... like..."
"Like WHAT?"
Before Chris could answer, Piper pointed her finger at them both, one at a time, slowly moving back and forth between them. "You two," she said, "are staying here. Wyatt needs to be watched by somebody, and who would be better than his brother and friend?"
Mahina could think of a couple people, right off the top of her head in fact, that were better suited to watch Wyatt Halliwell; she and Chris were the last to people anyone would want watching a baby. Speaking of babies, Mahina looked down towards her stomach, still not quite believing that she wasn't with child.
Piper then looked over towards – what was he again now? Mahina tried to remember, but just settled on her will-be-future-husband. She pointed her finger at him and said, "You, go talk to the elders, find out about why she's here and how to get her back damn it." She then turned her attention towards her sister. "We have a club to run, let's go."
Mahina and Chris both tried to protest, but to no avail, Before they could say anything, everyone was already gone. They looked at each other and orbed down to the bench in the foyer, sitting down. "Well," Mahina said, "how long has she known she's your mother again?"
