Chapter 2: True love?
"Chris! I told you, no more demons for a while. I need some time to get the new nanny used to this situation. If we go after a demon, it's liable to attack us at home. I don't want to do that to Michelle on her first day."
"But Piper…"
"I said no Chris!" Piper said, as she began wiping off the bar to prepare for the club's opening in an hour. "Listen, will you stop in and check on the nanny tonight. I just want to make sure everything is going ok."
"I'll stop in if you agree to go after this Groglak demon," Chris negotiated as he followed Piper to the bar and sat down. "Come on, this could be-"
"The future evil that turns Wyatt," Piper finished. "If you can convince Phoebe and Paige, I'll do it. Deal?"
"Fine."
"Anybody home?" Paige called as she entered the manor. "Phoebe? Piper? I'm home!"
"Hi, you must be Paige. I'm Michelle, the new nanny," Michelle said as she entered the foyer, with Wyatt on her hip. "It's nice to meet you."
"Hey. Is Piper or Phoebe home?" Paige asked as her and Michelle, carrying Wyatt, entered the kitchen.
"What about me?" Phoebe asked as she entered in through the kitchen door. "Hey Paige, Michelle, and my adorable little nephew," Phoebe said in her annoying baby talk voice.
"Hey Pheebs, can I talk to you upstairs?"
"Sure. Michelle, since we're both in for the night, you're welcome to go home. Do you think you could put Wyatt to bed first?" Phoebe instructed as she headed to the attic after Paige.
"So what's up?" Phoebe asked once she and Paige were in the attic.
"Leo and Piper have been fighting more and more lately. Last night, I even heard Piper crying in her sleep. I'm really starting to worry about them. I know she needs time, and he's a full time elder, but… I think it's time for drastic action. We need to convince him to come back with his wife and son," Paige said as she flipped through the book. "I found it! Listen, there's a spell in here to re-ignite lost love. I think that if we do this spell, Leo and Piper will remember why they fell in love in the first place. It can't loose."
"Listen I'm worried about Piper and Leo too, but I don't think the 'Remember Lost Love' spell is a good idea," Phoebe said reading the spell over Paige's shoulder. "What about personal gain?"
"Screw personal gain. If Piper and Leo don't get back together, our nephew is going to turn evil. No one wants that.
Meanwhile, in Wyatt's room Michelle was getting him ready for bed. "Well there Wyatt, I think we've had a pretty good day. We just need to get you ready for bed. Yes we do. Who's that?" Michelle wondered as she saw a cluster of blue and white orbs begin to form.
"Hey, you must be Michelle," Chris said once he had fully materialized in Wyatt's room. "Piper wanted me to meet you. I'm the girl's Whitelighter, Chris. Man, you look really familiar. Have we met before?"
"Hi Chris, it's nice to meet you. I don't think we've met. I just moved to San Francisco last week. I was just about to go though. Paige and Phoebe are upstairs. Do you think you could help me get him ready for bed?" Michelle asked as she began to look through Wyatt's pajamas.
"Sure," Chris agreed, still bothered by the nagging suspicion he had seen her before
Upstairs, Phoebe had finally given in to Paige. "Alright, I concede. We'll do the spell. Here it goes.
"Those above please hear our call,
Remind them so in love they'll fall,
Ignite old feelings known before,
So the hatred is gone once more." the sisters chimed together.
"That is the dumbest spell I have ever heard. Do you think that worked?" Paige asked once they were done.
"I just heard Piper and Leo in the kitchen, let's go find out."
"Piper I am sorry, but I can't take Wyatt tomorrow. I have elder duties that are really important." Leo could be heard arguing from the kitchen as Piper and Phoebe entered.
"More important than your son? He hardly ever sees you any more Leo. You need to be here for him," Piper countered.
"Guess the spell didn't work," Paige mumbled as they entered the kitchen. "What's with the yelling?"
"Leo is once again letting his son down. He's putting his duties in front of his son. Maybe that's why Wyatt turns evil in the future. Where is Wyatt?" Piper asked suddenly frantic.
"I asked Michelle to put him to bed. They're in the nursery," Phoebe said as she entered the living room. "Oh my!"
Once Piper, Paige, and Leo followed Phoebe, they were greeted with a very disturbing sight. Chris and Michelle were all over each other. Chris had his shirt off, and was passionately kissing Michelle. She lay beneath him on the couch and was fumbling with his belt. Her own shirt was on the lampshade at the other end of the room. The pair was so intensely absorbed in their "activities" that they didn't even notice the company. Once the shock wore off, Leo went over to drag Chris off of Michelle. It took nearly five minutes to get the couple separated, but between Piper and Leo, they finally succeeded.
"I think this might be another spell gone a wry," Phoebe said as she stood watching the scene. "Have to give the kids credit though, they sure are determined," Phoebe added as Chris broke free, trying to get back to Michelle.
"Spell?" Piper asked as she wrestled Michelle to the ground, trying to get her shirt back on her.
"Yeah, you can yell later, now we need another spell to undo this. Let this magic we have cast, and its side effects in the past." Thankfully, once Paige finished the spell, a fuzzy red light engulfed the two lovers. Once it lifted things were back to normal.
"What? What's going on? Where's my shirt?" Chris fumbled as he came to his senses. He pulled away from Leo's grasp, and was frantically grabbing for his cloths. The girls smiled as he started to blush.
"This is really embarrassing. I'm so sorry Piper. I don't know what came over me." Michelle was equally flustered, and if possible, even redder than Chris.
"Actually, this is our fault," Paige interrupted, "Phoebe and I cast a 'Remember Lost Love' spell on Piper and Leo, but it hit you and Chris instead. Come to think of it, why did it affect two? Do you even know each other?"
"I've never seen her before, I don't think," said Chris once he was fully clothed. "This whole thing was really weird. One minute we were putting Wyatt to bed, and the next I couldn't keep away from her."
"Listen, sorry to interrupt, but I actually need to get back 'Up There'," Leo said, looking warily at Chris.
"Bye," Piper said coolly. Her sisters could tell that she was still mad at him.
"Piper you really should give him a chance," Phoebe said once Leo had orbed away, "he really is trying sweetie."
"Listen, Michelle, I'm really sorry for tonight," Piper said ignoring her sister. "You can go ahead and go home. I'll understand if you don't want the job anymore."
"Don't be ridiculous. This is the best date I've had in weeks," Michelle quipped. "I'll be here tomorrow at eight, if that's alright. Nice meeting you Chris." And with a wink, she walked through a portal and disappeared.
"Well, she's a cute girl," Phoebe hinted towards Chris as Piper and Paige went up to check on Wyatt. "You made a cute couple."
"Phoebe! This was the most embarrassing night of my life. I can't believe you'd do something like this," Chris ranted. "I just want to forget this night happened, but if you want to make it up to me," Chris said suddenly struck with an idea
"Chris! No more demons, especially not tonight. It's midnight. We'll talk tomorrow," Phoebe said as she headed upstairs.
"But" Chris started
"Goodnight Chris," the girls chorused from upstairs
