Chapter 9
Kyle orbed them all home with out a word he went upstairs and got a shower then he went into his and Paige's room he picked up the picture
it was of them when Poppy was three and Petal was two they were all cuddled up together he ran his hand through his hair he settled peach into the cot Paige had gotten out a few days ago Kyle knew she'd been going to buy a new one without his knowledge he smiled sadly as he remembered the other day when he'd come in and found her shoving baby and you magazines under the bed he let the tears come as he thought his youngest daughter will never get to know her mother
Piper poured herself another cup of coffee and sobbed she felt Phoebe sit next to her and pat her on the back and she could tell by all the sniffling she was crying too
"Why did it have to be her Piper she's got three beautiful girls who need her why couldn't it have been me" Phoebe sobbed
"I don't know why she had to die Phoebe I just don't know" Piper cried back
Leo watched them he too was crying he glanced up at the ceiling where above him Wyatt Chris Poppy Petal and the new baby slept soundly not knowing anything was wrong he breathed sadly
Petal ran her fingers through her hair sadly Poppy knocked lightly on the door It was exactly week since Paige had died they were both dealing with it together at night when they cried it wasn't uncommon that they were intertwined together Poppy pushed her own hair back and tied a black ribbon through it
"Doesn't seem right does it?" she asked her voice croaky from crying Petal shook her head sadly
"Do you think mum will be watching over us?" Petal asked Poppy nodded
"Every minute of everyday" Poppy promised she hugged her sister as her aunt
Piper appeared in the doorway
"Girl's are you ready?" she asked Poppy could tell she'd been crying she nodded and they followed her downstairs in silence where Wyatt and Chris were huddled in a corner talking in hushed voice's Charlie was sat next to them baby piper on her knee Kyle was rocking a baby stroller containing Peach blossom or peach as they called her well everyone else did Petal wasn't exactly ready to relinquish her roll as 'baby Halliwell' she enjoyed the attention and it was a role that her mother had had within her sisters and which Petal had wanted to keep Kyle was watching the tiny baby she was the exact replica of him more so than Poppy or Petal who looked more like Paige except both had Kyle's eyes Petal angrily wiped away a tear she saw Phoebe wrapped in the arms of Leslie who was sporting a huge gash down one side of his face that had needed seventeen stitches and a black eye she felt Piper squeeze her hand
"I'll be back," she said before leaving her Leo came over
"How are you two holding up?" he asked
"Not much better than you apparently" Poppy smiled sadly Leo smiled back at least he'd be around Paige everyday after all she was alive in all of her daughters Petal had her sweetness and friendly personality while Poppy had inherited her charm and witty sense of humour Leo waved softly to Darryl who'd just came in Sheila and the boy's in tow he looked around Victor had come even though he wasn't Paige's biological father he'd still treated her as his own since he'd know about her
"I think that's everyone" Leo murmured suddenly he gasped as a man appeared in front of him
"Sam" he gasped
"Leo how what happened?" he asked Leo quickly led him aside and explained
"This isn't right she is supposed to bury me not the other way around" he cried
"I just wish I had been around more" Leo quickly motioned Poppy and Petal to come over and Kyle to bring the baby
"Meet your grandchildren" Leo told him
"I'm Poppy" poppy said unsure of who this was
"I'm you granddad" Sam smiled sadly Petal gasped
The coffin was draped with white lilies around the outside the all lined up to say goodbye after the service Kyle stepped up first baby Peach in his arms he pulled out a long red rose and a tiny peach blossom flower Paige had told him long ago she wanted to name the girls after flowers a promise he'd held he placed them down
"Bye Paigy I love you darling rest in peace" he choked before moving away
"Love you mum" Poppy smiled sadly she put a poppy on the coffin
"I wish you where still here" Petal sobbed she opened her hand and let a stream of different coloured petals fall poppy, peach blossom and rose petals fell onto I Piper stepped up
"Goodbye sweetheart" she cried Phoebe speared beside her
"I love you so much" she sobbed before moving along next stepped up Wyatt Charlie and baby Piper
"You were so much more than an aunt to me Paige I'll never forget you neither will your great niece you're her middle namesake" Wyatt sobbed Chris stepped in
"I'll never forget the way you looked after us when mum and dad where busy or out or the way you never used to shout when the computer got left on I love you aunt P sleep tight" he sighed next stepped up Sam, Darryl and is family and many more until it was empty except for Piper Phoebe Kyle Poppy and Petal Wyatt Leo and Chris
"What happens now?" Chris asked Piper stroked his hair fondly and shrugged
"We find that deadbeat and kick his butt" Phoebe promised Paige silently
"I'm gonna go home I need to rest and figure out what to do with all her stuff" Kyle said he orbed away but they all knew he hadn't gone home because he'd left peach behind
"Perhaps dying when your third child is a baby runs in the family too," Phoebe cried
"Poppy Petal you know what this means don't you?" Piper said they both shrugged
"When you grow up you're the charmed ones" she told them
"Let's have this conversation another time," Poppy said softly she pulled out another vial of potion she swigged it back
"Binding potion" she said she quickly ran over and slipped it into her mothers coffin
"At least a part of us can go with her now" she smiled sadly as Leo orbed them all home
SymplyCharmed: please review I have worked really hard on this I am still in deep guilt for killing off my favourite character (at least now I can stop her being attacked) however it's not near the end yet! There are still many unanswered questions such as what Brewer wanted with Phoebe where did Brewer go? And what if he was working with an old enemy? Find out read on and review (go on click the review button you know you want to)
