Chapter 5: Breakfast Bonding

"Mmmmm, are those pancakes?" Andrea asked as she and Chris orbed into the kitchen the next morning.

"Yes, they are," said Piper bustling in with Wyatt on one hip and a laundry basket on the other. "Do you want some?"

"Do I? I haven't had pancakes in ten years. Here, let me take Wyatt. Has he had breakfast?" Andrea asked, grabbing Wyatt off of Piper's hip and sitting him down into his high chair.

"No, I just finished the pancakes, so we can all have breakfast together, and you two can explain… everything."

"Good morning!" Phoebe called as she bustled in and out of the kitchen. "I have to be at work; sorry I can't stay for breakfast."

"Phoebe, you do realize it's Saturday, right?" asked a groggy Paige, entering in behind Phoebe. "Great pancakes!"

"It is? It is!" said Phoebe as realization hit. "Good, I'm grabbing me a plate."

After a few minutes, all the sisters, Chris, Andrea, and Wyatt had all gathered around the dinning room table, their plates stacked full of pancakes. "These are wonderful Piper," Andrea complimented. "It's been ten years since I've had pancakes. Remember Chris? You broke your arm, so your mom made us pancakes."

"That was such a great day, minus the broken bone," reminisced Chris. "As I recall it was your fault."

"It most certainly was not. You're the one who convinced me to climb up the tree," Andrea accused. "I couldn't help that you were underneath me when I fell out," she laughed.

"You so did that on purpose."

"So, you two have known each other a long time?" Phoebe asked between shovel fulls of pancakes.

"Yeah, our mom's were good friends. I think they met before Andy was born. We even dated in Jr. High," thought Chris.

"Wow, he actually talked about the future!" exclaimed Paige in mock horror. "Quick Piper go get the thermometer."

"Very funny, this doesn't really count. I doubt you knowing I break my arm is going to drastically change the future."

"Really? You two seem so great together. If you don't mind me asking, what happened?" asked Phoebe, earning a punch in the arm from Paige.

"Phoebe! That's none of our business," Paige admonished.

"No, it's ok," said Andy. "Actually Chris dumped me after my family was killed."

"I did nothing of the sort!" denied Chris. "You went all demon-hunting crazy after they died. Don't even say it Piper," he warned as Piper opened her mouth. "You got careless. You wouldn't eat, or sleep. You nearly killed yourself. When I tried to get you to stop, you jumped down my throat. You broke up with me." By now, Chris was on his feet, pointing across the table at Andrea.

"Please, you just wanted to get me out of the picture, so that you could make out with Bianca," yelled Andrea who was now on her feet as well. "You always did like the evil ones."

"I think we all need to calm down here," Piper said trying to be the voice of reason.

"Don't get me started on dating demons. You're the one who's married to the source of all evil. At least I got engaged out of love. What's your excuse?" Chris countered, completely ignoring Piper.

"Love? Please you wouldn't know love if it bit you in the butt!"

"That's it," Chris exclaimed, finally fed up. "Why don't you go change your husband's diapers or something. That's right," Chris said off of Piper's gasp. "Say hello to your daughter in law. I'm out of here," and he orbed away.

"Good riddance," Andy screamed at the ceiling before storming into the kitchen to do dishes.

"Nice going Pheebs," Paige said, but after seeing the tears on her face, she added, "What's wrong."

"They love each other so much. I could feel it," Phoebe said, now openly sobbing. "It's weird, I normally can't get a reading off of the two of them, but when they're together I feel so much love, and longing."

"I can't believe that Andrea is married to Wyatt, or that he's source of all evil.

"Hey Leo," greeted Phoebe when he orbed in. "Do you want some breakfast?"

"Hi," Leo said as he sat down next to Piper, who was still ignoring him. "I was actually sent by the- ooo Piper these are fantastic. Sorry," Leo said off the annoyed looks. "I was sent by the elders because they've been noticing a slight shift in the balance of good and evil, towards evil. Then, last night, the shift became more pronounced. The elders can't figure out what is causing the shift, because there haven't been too many murders involving good magical beings," Leo finished and started shoveling pancakes into his mouth. "These have to be the best you've ever made Piper."

"Chris!" Andrea called from the kitchen.
