Declaimer: I don't own Charmed.
Chapter Twenty-one
Cat and Kattie rushed down the stairs to Piper's aid.
"Where are my daughters?" Tim demanded.
"Some where you can't get to them." Piper replied through her tears. "Where they're safe, away from you. Where you won't be able to hurt them."
"Now what kind of an awful mother keeps a father away from his own children?" Tim asked menacingly.
"One who doesn't want to see them destroyed when he gets board in a couple of months down the line. Or even worse a few years down the line, when they've really gotten really attached to him." She told him angrily. "I really must be the worst mother of all time."
The two girls froze, and paired through the banisters, just out of sight of the pair of arguing adults.
Piper seamed to be handling this alright at the moment, but they wanted to be there just in case any thing changed.
"Yhea," Tim said. "An untrained monkey could do a better job than you. My old pet rock would look like mother of the year compared to you."
Cat waited with baited breath for her aunt to fling back a witty insult.
But it didn't come.
Instead, Piper grabbed her purse.
"Do you think you can do a better job than me?" She demanded.
"No doubt!"
She shoved Wyatt into his arms, grabbed a shoulder bag, stuffed some things from a draw in a small table in to the bag, and got her coat.
"Then do it!"
"Hey, P, I know you cancelled our meeting today," A man said from the open front door. "But I was worried and just thought I'd drop in to make sure every thing is okay. Obviously it isn't, is there any thing I can do to help?"
"Yhea," Piper replied. "Get me the hell outa this mad house C."
"Com'on Halli." He held out his hand to Piper, which she took a little too readily. "Let's get you out of here, as far away from this place as possible."
They walked out the front door.
Piper slammed the door as hard as she could behind her self.
"So where do you want to go Halli?" He asked.
"Let's go do some thing totally crazy."
"What do you have in mind?" He asked as they got into his red convertible.
"Well we need to catch a plane, and go to the doctor's before that, cuz I'm pregnant, and you might lose your job."
