"What the hell?"

Could be heard, not only from the two women in the kitchen but from Phoebe in the family room. Scully and Paige ran into Phoebe in the hallway at the bottom of the stairs. Literally. Landing in a crumpled heap, three of them rubbed at the places they knew would be bruised soon. Phoebe stood first, massaging her lower back with one hand while helping Scully up with the other.

"Thanks, Phoebe."

"Hey, a little help here too would be nice!" Paige huffed, half heartedly.

They pulled Paige to her feet and the three witches ran upstairs to the attic… Cautiously opening the attic door to reveal the smoking remains of what used to be furniture, Paige wondered aloud what the heck had happened. Piper standing in the centre of the room with her hands still raised and a murderous look on her face gave them the answer. She'd clearly just blown up half the room out of anger, or frustration. Leo, who had orbed out just as Piper had attempted to blow him up too, orbed back in. Sure, she couldn't actually kill him but it still hurt when she tried to.

"What's going on?"

It was Scully who posed the question.

"Well, Leo here thought he'd be so kind as to drop in after months of having no contact." She paused…"So while I'm busy looking after his son and carrying our second, he's too busy with his Elder duties when I need him but hey he just drops in when he feels like it! And … well, this is what happens when I'm really ticked off. "

"Piper you can't go blowing the whole house up just because you're pissed off."

"I wasn't trying to blow the whole damn house up - I was aiming for you, Leo!"

"Here we go again." Paige muttered, thankfully quiet enough so Piper couldn't hear.

"Wait, did you just say you're pregnant? With Chris?"

"Are you blind or just plain stupid?" Piper asked him, rhetorically.

Phoebe, Piper and Scully retreated as silently as they could back downstairs to avoid any chances of themselves being blown up next. And also just to avoid the huge fight they - well Paige and Phoebe - knew to expect when Piper was this angry.

In the living room, Phoebe switched on the TV and started flicking through channels, not really concentrating on what was on the screen as the voices from the attic were growing increasingly louder. When Piper and Leo got loud enough that Phoebe, Paige and Scully could make out every syllable clearly, they braced themselves for another explosion. Thankfully, it never came. Instead, they heard two sets of footsteps on the stairs. It finally occurred to Scully that she hadn't seen Mulder all afternoon, just as Piper and Leo emerged at the foot of the stairs. Noticing the smiles on their faces, Scully temporarily forgot to wonder where Mulder was.

"Hey guys, what you smiling about?" Phoebe asked.

"Oh nothing really, I'm just pleased that Chris is still a part of the future." Leo replied vaguely.

"And even better is his dad's going to be part of that future too."

Phoebe and Paige looked at Piper quizzically, wondering what that was supposed to mean. Piper laughed a little, deciding to let them try to figure it out for themselves first.
