Chapter 6
Piper returned home after a week-and-a-half. She had a few days left before the wedding and everyone was getting excited.
"Mommy, I want to wear my dress," Mel said.
"Not yet, Mel. You can't wear it for a couple of days," Piper said.
"Ok," Mel sighed. "When will Daddy and Jess get home?"
"I don't know. They should be home soon."
"Where did they go?"
"They went to the airport to pick up Daddy's family. You get meet your other Grandma and Grandpa."
"I have another Grandma and Grandpa?"
"Yep. They used to live in San Fernando, then they moved to Canada."
"We're home!" Leo called from the front door.
"Come on, Mel," Piper said as she picked up her daughter and headed towards the front door.
"Piper!" Leo's Mom said. "It's so nice to see you again. And who is this sweet little girl?"
"It's nice to see you again, too. This is Melinda, my other little girl."
"Your other little girl?" Mrs. Wyatt asked.
"Yes. Didn't Leo tell you?"
"Tell us what, exactly?" Mr. Wyatt asked.
Piper gave Leo a stern look. "Well, when I came up and visited you with Andy and Prue back in high school, I was about 4 months pregnant. Jess and Mel are my twin daughters. They're Leo's daughters, too."
"You mean soon-to-be-step-daughters, right?" Mrs. Wyatt asked.
"No, Mom. Biological," Leo said.
Mr. Wyatt looked at Leo and Piper. "Why didn't we know?" he asked.
"Dad, I just found out when I started school this year."
"You still should have told us," Mrs. Wyatt said.
"I'm sorry, Mom," Leo said. "Things have been really crazy around here."
"They really have," Piper put in.
"Well," Mr. Wyatt said, "can I see my Grand-daughters?"
"Of course!" Piper and Leo said.
Mr. Wyatt picked up Jess, and then Piper passed Mel to him. "Now, what are your names?" he asked.
"I'm Jessica Hope Halliwell," Jess said.
"And I'm Melinda Penelope Halliwell," Mel said.
"Mel is named after my ancestor and my Grams, and Jess's names I really liked, so I chose them," Piper said.
"Well, Jess," Mr. Wyatt said, "did you know that Grandma and I live in a town called Hope?"
"Really?" Jess asked.
"Yep. It's a small town in British Columbia, Canada."
"Where's that?" Mel asked.
"It's up North of Washington," Mr. Wyatt said.
"Um, Mr. Wyatt, they don't know where places are yet. They're not quite 5," Piper said.
"Please, Piper, call me Chris. When will they be 5?"
"Their birthday is July 14," Piper said.
"Why don't the four of you come up to our place for their birthday?" Mrs. Wyatt.
"Can we Mommy?" Jess asked.
"We'll have to see," Piper told her daughter.
"Can we go get Lady?" Mel asked.
"Sure," Leo said.
Chris put the girls down and they ran towards the backyard. "So Piper," Chris started, "where are your parents these days?"
"They're in San Fernando at my Dad's ranch. My parents got back together about 5 years ago. And my youngest sister Paige is living with them," Piper said.
"What about Andy and Prue?" Mrs. Wyatt asked.
"They live here," Piper said.
"Aunt Piper!" everyone heard from the living room. They followed Piper with their eyes as she went into the living room.
She came back with a little boy with brown hair in her arms. "Sorry. A.J. was asleep on the sofa and got scared when I wasn't there when he woke up," Piper said.
"Where are Mommy and Daddy?" A.J. asked.
"They went out for a little bit," Piper said.
Just then, the front door opened and Prue and Andy walked in. "Mr. and Mrs. Wyatt! It's great to see you!" Andy exclaimed.
"Andy, please. Call us Chris and Caroline," Chris said. "Andy it's great to see you, too."
"Mommy!" A.J. said, reaching towards Prue.
Prue took him from Piper, and Andy said, "I see you've already met A.J."
"Yeah," Caroline said. "He's adorable. What does A.J. stand for?"
"Either Andrew Joel or Andrew Jr. His name is Andrew Joel, but either one is ok," Andy said.
"Bark, bark," everyone heard. They looked towards the kitchen just in time to see a beagle running towards them.
Leo bent down and picked up the puppy before she got to his parents. "Mom, Dad, this is Lady. Piper's Dad got her for the 4 kids."
"4?" Caroline asked.
Mel and Jess had gotten back as Leo was introducing the dog, and Jess said, "Yeah. Me, Mel, A.J., and Savannah."
"Who's Savannah?" Chris asked.
"That would be Phoebe's daughter. I actually need to go check on her. I'll be right back."
Before Piper could leave, the front door opened and Cole, who was carrying Phoebe, came in. "Oh, hi everyone," Phoebe said. Cole set her down. "Well, since everyone's here, um, Cole and I have some news."
"What is it, Phoebe?" Prue asked.
"Um, well, Cole and I, uh," Phoebe started.
"Is that what I think it is!" Piper screamed, pointing at Phoebe's hand.
"That depends, Piper," Phoebe said. "What do you think it is?"
"Did you two get engaged?" Prue asked.
"No," Phoebe said and everyone sighed with relief. "We got married."
Everyone's mouths fell open in shock. "Phoebe! How could you do that?" Piper asked. Tears started to fall down her face and she ran up to her room.
"Mommy!" Mel and Jess yelled and started to go after her.
"Girls stay here," Leo said and ran up the stairs, two at a time.
"What did I do?" Phoebe asked.
"Phoebe, you got married today and Piper's wedding is in a few days!" Prue said.
"But Prue," Caroline began, "Savannah's parents should be married."
"Cole isn't Savannah's father," Phoebe said. "Savannah's father died just before she was born."
-------------------------------------------------------------
Up in Piper and Leo's room, Piper is crying on her bed when there is a soft knock on the door and Leo walked in.
"Are you ok, honey?" he asked as he sat beside her.
"Oh yeah, I'm just peachy," she said through tears.
"What was that about downstairs?"
"Leo, she knew our wedding is in a few days! Why did she have to get married today?"
There was another soft knock at the door. "Come in," Leo said.
Phoebe slowly opened the door. "Piper, I'm really sorry," she said. "I wasn't thinking. It all happened really quickly. Cole had to go talk to one of his bosses and then we just kind of got married before we left. Neither of us really knew what was going on. It was spur of the moment."
"It's ok, Phoebe. There's nothing that can be done now. Congratulations," Piper said.
"Thank-you, Piper. I love you so much!"
"I love you, too. But I'm still mad at you!"
"That's ok. I have to go get my daughter now."
"Are you sure it's ok, Piper?" Leo asked her after Phoebe left the room.
"Do I have any choice?"
"No, not really." They both smiled and chuckled. "Come on, Piper. Let's downstairs." They got up and headed back downstairs.
