Chapter 6: Old Enemies and New Allies
At that moment Leo saw his worst fear, the dark blue orbs of Darklighters. He no longer was a whiteligher, so the poison wouldn't effect him, but his sons and Paige were all half whiteligher. Grabbing his sons, "PIPER, PAIGE, PHOEBE, DARKLIGHER…" running away from them and covering them as they raised their crossbows with the poisoned arrows.
Not thinking about exposure, but only of the lives of her nephews, Paige orbed into the living room with her sisters. Paige orbed out the children, and Piper quickly blew up the two darklighters that were threatening her babies. "Those guys never learn," Piper said. She got out her cell phone and dialed Paige's cell, "Paige, its okay, I took care of them, you can orb back now."
SG-1 all stared amazed, even Daniel who knew about the power but never had seen it before, as Paige orbed in with her two nephews. Piper took Chris from his aunt, and Phoebe took Wyatt each checking to see if the two children were okay. The only downside to the temporary power striping potion, was that Wyatt's shield wasn't working.
Jack was the first to speak up, "Okay people, who is going to explain the Appearing and Disappearing acts of the guys with the cross bows?"
"Witches? Like flying on brooms witches?" Cassie asked, when Piper, Phoebe, and Paige explained to everything who they were. They were sitting around the dinner table in Daniel's house. It was probably the only time that it had been used, but now, Daniel was thinking that it was all worth it.
"Well, we don't fly on brooms, but we cast spells and such, but only to protect innocents. We have to be careful because if a spell has personal gain the spell can backfire with consequences." Phoebe explained as simply as she could. But she was thinking, If only we had some of that memory dust, we wouldn't have to worry about explanations!
"Well, Daniel, it looks like you found a perfect match, you spend the last decade fighting the Gu'auld, and when its over, you marry into a family where fighting evil is a way of life!" Jack laughed at that thought.
"Well, the irony hasn't escaped me, but yea." At that Phoebe elbowed him in a fun way, glad that no one ran out screaming hysterically.
Piper, with Wyatt in his high chair that they had brought specially for this, the joy of orbing, who was squirming to get loose, but there was no way that she was letting him get into anything, said, "You all have to understand that you cannot tell anyone. If we were exposed we wouldn't be able to live our life."
Sam was the first to respond, "While I don't truly understand this whole witch thing, I understand having to keep a secret, you have my promise that I won't say anything. We have to deal with reporters snooping enough as it is!" The last bit was a little under her breath, but Jack and Cassie on either sides of her didn't miss it.
The conversation was changed quickly away from that of 'witches,' to the wedding. They had decided to have the wedding in San Francisco in Piper and Leo's house. Grams was going to officiate. They decided that because of the baby, that the wedding was going to be next month. Phoebe couldn't help thinking that this month was going to be the most hectic of her life. It just had to go off better than her wedding to Cole, where she ended up the Queen of the Underworld!
