Chapter 8
When it was time for Andy and the girls to go home, Piper didn't want to leave. Prue eventually got her in the van and they went home.
The rest of the school year went well. Prue and Andy were name Prom King and Queen, Piper made a few friends, Phoebe made some friends, and they all did great in their classes.
It was the end of June and Piper was busy decorating a room for two babies. She had recently discovered she was having twins, although she didn't want to know if they were girls or boys. Jeremy was still helping Piper. In fact, he was helping her with the decorating, and so was Victor.
Victor had left the room when the phone rang, and now slowly walked back in.
"What is it Dad?" Piper asked, noticing her father's saddened face.
"That was your mother on the phone, Piper. There's no easy way to give you this news." He paused for a moment. "Piper, your Grams just died this morning."
"What?" Piper had tears falling freely down her cheeks. "But-" she was at a loss for words.
Jeremy pulled her into a comforting hug, letting her cry into his shoulder. "It's ok, Piper. We'll talk more about it when you sisters get here," he said.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Later that afternoon, Victor, Andy, Prue, Jeremy, Phoebe, and Phoebe's boyfriend Drake, were sitting in the living room. Victor had just informed Prue and Phoebe of Grams.
"If you girls want," Victor said, "I'll take you to San Francisco tonight, and we can stay there for a few days."
"I think that would be great Daddy," Phoebe said. "Mom probably needs us right now."
"I'm coming with you," Jeremy said.
"Me, too," Andy agreed.
Victor looked at them. "Ok, Andy can come for sure. But Jeremy, why are you coming?"
"For Piper."
"Please, Dad, I need him with me, and so do the babies."
"Ok," Victor sighed.
"Daddy," Phoebe said. "If it's ok with Drake's parents, can he come, too?"
"I don't think so, sweetie," he said. "Maybe for the funeral, but not for the whole time."
"That's ok," Drake said. "My parents are going to San Francisco for a few days, anyways."
-------------------------------------------------------------
That night, they got to the Halliwell Manor and noticed it was dark. They all grabbed the bag or two that they had packed and carried it up to the front door.
"Do you think they're here?" Phoebe asked.
"There's only one way to find out," Andy said. "That's to ring the doorbell." Prue playfully smacked his arm as he reached for the doorbell.
A few moments later, the door opened to reveal Patty with a tear stained face. "Oh, am I so glad to see all of you," she managed to say through tears.
Prue and Phoebe hugged their mother. Next were Piper, then Andy and Jeremy, and finally Victor.
"Where's Paige?" Phoebe asked.
"She's up in her room," Patty answered. "She's going to her father's for the night."
"Sam's not here?" Piper asked, placing a hand on her growing belly.
"Not anymore. We're getting divorced," Patty said, moving aside to let everybody in the living room.
Victor was the last one in and he stopped in front of Patty. He gave her a comforting hug and heard her mumble, "I'm sorry."
"For what?" he asked, confused.
She pulled away from him and looked into his eyes. "For leaving you."
-------------------------------------------------------------
Paige was up in her room when she heard a knock on her door. "Come in," she said.
The door opened and Prue, Piper, and Phoebe walked in. "Hey, kiddo," Prue said.
The four of them gathered into a hug. "I miss Grams," Paige cried.
"It's ok, Paige," Piper said. "We do, too."
"How long are you guys here?"
"All week," Prue said. "Andy and Jeremy are here, too."
"And Dad," Phoebe said.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning, everyone was in the kitchen, except for Paige because she was still at Sam's. "Girls," Patty said. "Where would you rather live as a family? Here, or San Fernando?"
"What?" Piper asked. "I'm a little confused."
"Well, your father and I talked about it, and we've decided to get back together. So, do you want Paige and me to move out there?"
"Well, our friends are out there, so I'd rather stay out there," Phoebe said.
"What about you Piper?" Victor asked.
"I'm with Phoebe. Plus, my doctor is in San Fernando."
"Ok, Paige and I will move out there, and Prue and Andy will move in here," Patty said, smiling.
Prue and Andy spit out the coffee they were drinking. "What?" they asked.
"You two get to have the manor as your home, since your going to college near here. It saves you from apartment hunting, and you won't have to move when you have a family."
Prue and Andy looked at each other with similar shocked faces. Prue looked back to her parents. "Thank-you so, so much," she said.
The phone rang before anyone could say or do anything else. Patty answered it. "Hello? . . Just a moment. Phoebe, it's for you."
"Ok, Mom. I'll get the one in the living room," she said then ran out of the kitchen. "It's probably Drake," Piper said.
"Who's Drake?" Patty asked.
"That would be her boyfriend."
"Oh."
"He wants to go to the funeral with Phoebe," Victor said.
Phoebe came back into the kitchen. "That was Drake. He's coming by later today."
"Ok," Patty said. "I'd like to meet him."
"Ow!" Piper yelled.
"What's wrong?" Jeremy panicked.
"Nothing," Piper said. "One of the babies just kicked really hard."
"Mom! I'm home!" Paige yelled from the front door.
"We're in the kitchen, Paige," Patty called to her youngest.
Paige walked in the kitchen and said, "I'm going to unpack. I'll be back in a minute."
"Paige, don't bother unpacking. We're moving to San Fernando," Patty said.
"What?"
"We're moving in with Victor, Piper, and Phoebe. Prue and Andy will be moving in here."
"Oh. As long as this house isn't sold, I'm ok with that."
-------------------------------------------------------------
After the funeral, they all went back to the manor. "I think I'm gonna take the kids home now. It'll be better for Piper," Victor said.
"Ok. Paige and I will come out there in a little while," Patty said.
Prue and Andy came down the stairs, just then, carrying their bags. "Dad, Andy and I are going to go home now. We'll meet you there."
"Ok, be careful."
"We will. See ya later, Mom," Prue said as she hugged her mother.
-------------------------------------------------------------
A couple of weeks later, Patty and Paige were moving in. Piper was preparing a snack for everyone in the kitchen. Patty was walking towards the bedrooms with a box and Victor was heading out to the car to get some more things.
Piper suddenly dropped everything in her hands. "Mom! Dad! Jeremy!" she screamed.
All three of them ran in from different directions, seeing Piper with her face scrunched up in pain and her hands gripping her belly. "Victor, Jeremy, make sure one of the cars has room for the four of us. We have to get Piper to the hospital."
Victor and Jeremy ran outside while Patty helped Piper to a chair. "Mom, it hurts so bad," Piper said through clenched teeth.
"I know, sweetie."
Jeremy came back in and went over to Piper, grabbing her arm. "Come on," he said.
Patty looked at Piper's clenched face. "Wait a minute. Wait until she's relaxed and between contractions."
Piper relaxed. "Ok," she said. Patty and Jeremy helped her up and out to the car. Jeremy sat in the front, Victor drove, and Patty sat in the back seat with Piper.
-------------------------------------------------------------
When they got to the hospital, Piper was taken right into delivery, and shortly after, she had two beautiful baby girls.
Patty was with Piper the entire time. "Piper," Patty started to say. "Have you chosen their names yet?"
"Yeah," she started to answer, but was interrupted by Jeremy, Victor, her sisters, and Andy all coming into the room.
"Hi Piper!" they all greeted.
"Hey. I was about to tell Mom my daughters names."
"I have nieces?" Prue asked cheerfully.
"Yep. Jessica Hope and Melinda Penelope," Piper said.
"What's their last name?" Phoebe asked.
"Halliwell, of course."
"Which one is Melinda and which is Jessica?" Jeremy asked.
"The one in pick is Melinda and the one in mauve is Jessica."
Jeremy reached for Melinda, who was being held by Patty, and pulled the baby close to his chest. "I think they're beautiful names for beautiful little girls."
"Thank-you, Jeremy. I think we should try to keep one colour of clothing for each girl. Pink shades for Melinda and purples for Jessica."
"Sounds good to me," Patty said, and everyone else nodded their agreement.
"Jeremy," Piper said. "We'll wait a few months to get the tests done."
"What if Dan want to get it done and over with?" Jeremy questioned.
"Too bad. He'll have to wait."
-------------------------------------------------------------
A few days later, Piper and the twins were released from the hospital. Piper and Jeremy carried the babies into the nursery, and Piper stopped suddenly. It wasn't how she left it. There were little teddy bears, horses, and dolls around the room, pink and purple decorations, too. One of the cribs had light-pink bedding with a darker pink teddy bear that had the name Melinda stitched into it; the other crib had light-purple bedding with a darker purple teddy bear that had the name Jessica stitched into it.
"Welcome home, Piper!" Prue said. "What do you think of the room?"
"I - I'm speechless! It's gorgeous!" Piper exclaimed, walking into the room. "How did you get it done so fast?"
"We all worked on it when we weren't at the hospital with you," Phoebe said.
Piper put Jessica in her crib. "Thank-you so much, everybody."
Jeremy put Melinda in her crib. "Uh, could I have a minute with Piper, please?"
Everyone nodded and left the room. "What's wrong, Jeremy?"
"Uh, it's kinda hard for me to say this."
"Say what?"
"I'm leaving in a couple of weeks. So is Dan."
"What?"
"I got into a college in New York, and Dan's getting sent to military school in Colorado."
"So, you're not going to be here to help with the babies?"
"No. And we need to find out who the father of those kids is. Soon."
"Ok. We'll try to get it done tomorrow."
"I'm sorry, Piper."
"It's ok. You'd better go. I'll try to figure something out."
-------------------------------------------------------------
A few days later, Piper was making a sandwich while Prue and Andy were watching the twins. The phone rang and Piper answered it.
"Hello?" she said. "This is Piper . . . Oh hello Dr. Williamson . . . You have them? I'm ready to hear, doctor . . . Ok . . . Ok," she smiled, "thank-you doctor. Good-bye." She hung up the phone and yelled, "I'll be back soon! Keep and eye on the girls!" And at that, she ran out of the house and down to the barn where she found Jeremy and Dan.
Jeremy saw her running quickly and stopped what he was doing. "Piper, what is it?" he asked, panicked.
"Don't worry, nothing's wrong. Dr. Williamson just called."
"And?" Jeremy and Dan asked together.
"You aren't the father, Dan," she paused, "and neither are you, Jeremy."
"Really?" Jeremy asked. Piper nodded. "Congratulations, Piper. I know how much you wanted Leo to be the father."
"Thank-you, Jeremy. Have a good time in New York and Colorado, guys." At that, Piper ran back up to the house.
"Congratulations, Dan" Jeremy said.
"You, too, Jeremy," Dan said.
When Piper got back in the house, Prue and Andy were sitting at the table, each holding one of Piper's babies.
"Hey," Prue said. "What was that all about?"
"I had to tell Jeremy and Dan about the phone call," she said as she picked Jessica up from Andy's arms.
"What was the phone call?" Andy asked.
"It was Dr. Williamson. He had the test results."
"And?" Prue and Andy both said.
"The father of the girls is not - " she paused for dramatic effect. "He is not in the country."
"So, these girls are Wyatt's?" Andy asked. Piper bit her bottom lip and nodded.
"So, when are you going to tell Leo?" Prue asked.
"I'm not," Piper said.
"What?" Andy freaked. "Piper, you said you'd tell him if he was the father!"
"I know. And I will eventually. I just don't know when."
