Growing Part 2:
Piper – Divorced?

--------------------

Piper laid in her bed when she started to hear the crying of the triplets upstairs. She sighted and turned around, trying to go back to sleep. It had no use. She tossed some more and then grabbed her pillow to cover her head. Piper let out a sight, when it finally seemed somewhat okay again with the pillow over her head. She closed her eyes again and again tried to go back to sleep.
A little girl entered the bedroom of piper and Leo and stood right in front of Piper's body
"Mommy"
She asked in a whiny voice.
"Mommy"
She whined again, when her mom didn't react. Piper finally heard her daughter and opened her eyes, then removed the pillow
"Make them stop"
She whined. Piper sighted and looked at her little girl
"Come here"
She said smiling and lifted her covers
"Why are they not stopping?"
Melinda asked as she cuddled into her mom and piper covered her up
"That's probably because your aunt is alone today for the first time"
"I don't want the babies anymore... can't we give them back or something?"
She asked her mom. Piper just smiled and crawled her head
"No we can't... and you and Matt weren't much better when you were born..."
"I want them to shut up... can we use magic on them?"
"Nooo..."
Piper said and continued to crawl her daughter's hair
"Where are your brothers?"
She asked
"Matt's sleeping and Chris' with dad..."
"Ooh right... they wanted to do this jogging thing..."
Piper said and laid her head down as well... her nose and forehead touching the equal parts on her daughter's face
"Can I sleep tonight on the couch?"
Melinda asked
"Why would you?"
"Don't wanna hear the babies no more"
Piper smiled
"We'll see, okay?"
Mel sighted as her mother kissed her nose gently. Piper then sat up a little and looked onto the clock
"well... we can't sleep much more anymore anyway... you three gotta go to school... so why don't you wake your twin brother... while I go upstairs and see if I can help your aunt..."
"He'll only throw a pillow at me again"
Melinda whined
"Aww... my poor baby"
Piper said smiling and hugged her daughter tightly again, before getting up herself and pulling her bathrobe around herself
"C'mon beetle bug... get up"
Melinda sighted deeply before pulling herself out of bed again...

Hey, my name is Piper... Wyatt... yes I changed it after all. But only a few years ago. It always confused the kids... so Leo and I decided on Wyatt, once and for all. For all of us.
The girl there... was the youngest of my children. Melinda. Yes, I got my little Mel after all. Chris is now twelve. Mel and her twin brother Matthew are 7. Leo and I are still, you shouldn't believe it, married. But this, we really can say we have to thank our kids for. After we had Chris, the doctor told us, the chances of me ever getting pregnant again are tinier than an elephant as big as a mouse being born. Leo and I were devasted. We wanted a family. A big family. We had a lot of troubles. We fought permanently and I was starting to give up. I saw our future. We ended up splitted already once.
The worst back then, was still, that Chris more liked to be over at Prue's playing with Brianna, than spending family time. Brianna started to draw really weird pictures and Prue got worried. She gave them to Phoebe, who's nowadays a psychiatrist. She was very concerned about her as well. Especially since we all didn't know where she got that scenes from. We discovered together, that Chris was talking a lot to Brianna. The only way Brianna could handle what she was hearing from her cousin, was with painting it. Those pictures opened mine and Leo's eyes and we started to see a psychiatrist ourselves. Everything got better. What my sisters seemed to be able to handle perfectly by themselves, Leo and I needed help for. But, like I said: we managed it, after all. Though, I seriously don't believe, we really had handled it, if the news of me being pregnant again wouldn't have spread around about a year after we started to see the psychiatrist.
Everything seemed okay again and it all got even better, after we learned, we'd have twins. I wanted girls. Barely. So did Leo. He wanted a little baby girl even more than me. Chris got that and didn't talk to us in days, because he thought we didn't want him either. When we learned, we had only one girl we were both, happy and sad. Today, I wouldn't want to miss my boys after all.
Leo and i still would love more kids, but we're happy with what we have. Three seems the perfect match. I grew up with two sisters. Three siblings. we all have 3 kids. it seems to be destiny. But, Leo and I will never say never again...
not only my family life changed, my job-life did too. Like Prue... I expanded. I have now 5 clubs around the region of San Francisco. Leo's so proud on me. It's a lot of stress to balance five clubs and three kids, but with the right managers, people who work for you and with a wonderful husband, everything's possible. The clubs are going better than ever and Leo and I are considering opening another few all around California, now that the kids aren't that small anymore and don't necessarily need their mommy 24/7.

Piper walked upstairs and found the triplets all alone in their beds, screaming their lungs out.
"Paige!"
she called, but her sister and husband were nowhere to be found. She carefully picked one after the other and carried them thought to her sister's bedroom. She placed them on bed, not having three arms and started to crawl them one after the other, trying to clam them down, before even starting to set their bottles

Those three are my newest nephews: Bradley, Riley and Finley. I can't believe anyone could not be able to love such chubbies. But while I'd loved to have more kids, Paige never wanted kids. She was fine with having her nieces and nephews. Now she has three at once. I don't think I would have managed that neither. But she has to.

"Damn it, where are you guys!"
Piper asked lowly... as she tried to calm the triplets down
