Thanks for all the review! I am glad you like it so far. Here is chapter two.
"Mommy!" the kids cried out.
Leo came out of it and scooped the woman up in his arms. "It's going to be okay kids," he said as he carried her into the living room and gently laid her down on the couch.
"Leo, who is that?" Piper asked. "What happened to her? Hi kids, mommy is going to be okay."
Leo kept looking at the woman lying on the couch. What is going on? How can she look so much like her? Grandpa? All sort of things were running through his mind.
"LEO!" Piper called out. "Earth to Leo!"
"What?" Leo asked. He finally realized she was in the room. Leo looked at the children. "What is your mommy's name?"
"Christine" said the little boy.
Christine! Christine! No, it's just a coincidence. It's got to be just a coincidence. "Wow, that's a pretty name." he said.
"She's named after our great-grandmother," said the little girl.
Coincidence, major coincidence!
"Leo, what happened?" Piper asked again.
"I don't know, Piper" Leo started. "she just fainted on the doorstep."
"And she called him Grandpa," said the little girl.
Piper looked at Leo with surprise. "Grandpa?"
Leo looked bewildered.
Just then Billie, Phoebe, and Paige came in the room.
"Whoa, what happened?" asked Billie.
Phoebe and Paige just looked from Piper to Leo to the woman on the couch to the kids to Billie and then to each other. "Um, hey kids! What's your names?" Paige asked.
"I'm…"the little girl started before her brother nudged her with his elbow.
"Our mother told us we shouldn't talk to strangers." He said looking pointedly at his sister.
"Well, that is an excellent rule," Paige started, "but in this case I think it would be a good idea to introduce each other. Here, I'll start. I am Paige, these are my sisters Phoebe and Piper. This is our cousin Billie and that is Leo, Piper's husband. And you are?"
The children looked at each other and the little girl nudged her brother they way he nudged her. They kept looking at each other for a full minute. Finally they broke eye contact and the boy said, "I am Charles and this is my sister Allyson."
