Chapter 2

As Wyatt finished his talk with the four children his brother orbed in with his daughter in his arms. "I found her" he said not sounding too happy about having to find the girl in the first place. He then turned his attention to his brother who seemed very upset. He knew that Wyatt could be a very strict parent but he didn't think that his brother would be this upset especially since he used to do the same thing to him when they were kids. Upon studying the man further, he knew that it wasn't his youngest son's antics that had him in this mood. Something serious had happened and he didn't know what it was, but he was about to find out.

After filling the returning girl in on the pervious discussion Wyatt then instructed the children to play nicely and warned that they didn't want him to come back in there. A warning that the Halliwell children knew too well, so they did as they were told. Pulling his brother into the hall he filled him in on the incident that occurred in his absence. "And by the time I reached where the bastard was the feeling just vanished." It was Chris's turn to talk "Did you tell the girls?" Shaking his head the man responded "No, there's no need to worry them right now" "I'm all for that" the man said thinking about his very pregnant wife. "But what if something goes wrong Wy, the girls will be caught off guard." "That's why I'm going to make sure that we're prepared. Nothing is going to spoil my little boy's day" he said looking back at the room the children where playing in. Chris nodded his head in agreement as his brother continued. "We need to call a meeting and put every one on alert. Then put out the word that if any being good or evil comes anywhere near our family will pay one hell of a price and so will those closest to them" the man said through clinched teeth. When it came to his family Wyatt didn't care how cruel people thought he was or how vicious his actions seemed. If no one messed with his family, then they wouldn't have any problems with him and in this Chris whole heartedly stood behind his brother.

"Well we're going to have to let the girls know that we're going out for a few." Chris finally spoke. "Yeah I know, but let me summon a guard for the kids" closing his eyes Wyatt made two of his upper level demons appear. Once formed the men looked around confused, seeing the rather pissed off looking Halliwell brothers standing in front of them snapped the two out of their haze fast and they then bowed down to their two leaders. "How may we serve you my Lords?" one spoke. It was Chris who answered the demons question "The two of you are to watch over the children for the duration of this party. They are NOT to leave that room until either one of us or their mothers come to collect them. Do you understand?" "Yes Lord Christopher" the other replied. "Good" the man said as he and his brother began to leave. But then he stopped short and added "Oh and understand this, if anything happens to any one of me or my brothers children, and you fail us, YOU WILL DIE" the man finished off with venom in his voice accompanied by an bone chilling stare.

In the ballroom the women finally finished all of the decorations for the party. It seemed like they were at it for most of the day instead of three hours. If it were any other day Autumn would have had one of her many servants do all the manual labor, but since it was her baby's birthday she decided that her personal and motherly touch was necessary. "Oh honey, come here and have a seat. You've been on your feet all day and that's not good for my newest god child" she said smiling at her best friend. After the two women were seated the other women spoke "I know, but this is Wy's birthday and I want to make sure that everything is perfect for my little angel of a god son." This made the mother smile as she wrapped her arms around her friend. "I know we have the best kids in the world. I think that I would die if anything ever happened to them." At that moment Autumn had an uneasy feeling about the safety of her children. She couldn't pinpoint where it was coming from but if something or someone was out to hurt her boys then she would rip them limb from limb right along side with their father. It was then that Wyatt and Chris entered the room.

"Hey guys we have to go out for a while" the older man said walking towards his wife. Seeing the worried look on her face the man knew that his beloved could sense the present danger. Wyatt made his way over to the woman and knelt down in front of her. "Listen sweetie, it's nothing for you to worry about. Chris and I have this all under control." Standing he planted a kiss on her head and added "No one's going to hurt our boys I promise" "Or our girls" Chris said as he laid a protective hand on his wife's swollen belly. "Come on Chris we have to go. Don't worry girls we'll be right back" Before either woman could respond the men flamed out. Neither Autumn nor Amber had a chance to talk about the threat before the door bell rang and the first guest arrived.
