Declaimer: I don't own Charmed.
Chapter Thirty-five
Thirty minuets later, Phoebe, Paige and the kids weren't back from the grocery store yet. Piper and Leo were curled up on the sofa together. Chris and Prue were cleaning up, and C was sat in an arm chair taunting them.
"You missed a spot Chris." He said pointing to a spot near to where Chris was tidying. "Just there. No, a little to further behind you and to the left slightly. No, you still haven't quite got it. See that old news paper. Oh almost, but not quite."
"I don't see you helping!" Prue snapped lobbing a damp cloth at him.
"I didn't make all this mess." C replied. "Why should I have to clean it up?"
"No you only provided the means of transport and took my sister away." Prue shot back angrily.
"Now, now children let's not get out of hand here." Leo said.
"Leo!" Prue fumed not daring to use her powers on him in her sister's presence. No matter how much she wanted to hurl him against a wall.
The door bell rang.
"C go get that for me please." Piper said snuggling a little closer to Leo. "Unless it's my bank manger or my layer; they could do with another dose of Prue Halliwell in all her scariness."
"I'll go." Chris said when C didn't move.
A few moments later he returned followed by Ants.
"I got it babe!" Ants looked Piper straight in the eye and held up a set of keys. "We move in tomorrow."
"Great!" Piper jumped up to hug him. "Did all the finances go through alright?"
"Perfectly. The girls are going to love it I can't wait to see their face s when they find out tomorrow. Only you have to tell them just before you come to drive them to their new home. I have it all planed."
"Next question. Is my car alright?"
"Exactly the way you left it."
"Good." She took her keys off him. "Now I don't have to murder you in cold blood."
"And my van would be where exactly? You didn't sell it, did you?"
"No, I did not!"
"Paige and Phoebe have got it." Prue said placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Oh my God! Prue!" Ants gasped.
"Hey there." Prue said. "Surprise!"
"You're dead." He commented.
"That scum bag, Tim Nelson, crossed my sister again." Prue said plainly. "There was no way in heaven and hell I was going to let it happen again. He was never going to get away with it twice."
"A lot's happened." Piper said.
"Obviously it has." Ants replied still in deep shook from Prue being there.
"It's gona take a while to fill you in." Leo wrapped his arms around Piper's waste smiling warmly. "Want to give it a try?"
