Chapter 12

A few days later, the whole family was in the sun room waiting for Andy to bring Prue and the baby home. Some of Prue's friends were there, too.

Piper and Phoebe were checking on their kids outside to play so they would use up all of their energy before the baby got there.

When they were walking back to the living room, Andy opened the door. He was carrying a baby seat and was followed by A.J. They walked all the way into the house before Prue even made her way up the front walk. She was walking slowly, holding a sleeping Alex in her arms.

"Welcome home, Prue," Piper said quietly.

"Thanks," Prue replied. She walked into the living room to see all of the guests and decorations. "Oh my gosh! This place looks amazing!"

"So do you, Prue," Patty said as she went up to hug her eldest daughter and see her newest grandchild.

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

A few hours later, Prue's friends were all gone and it was just the family left. Sam had come by to see the baby and take Paige to his house for the night.

"Bye everybody. See you all later," Paige said as she was leaving with her father.

"Bye Paige," everyone said.

"Is everyone ready for dinner?" Piper asked. Everyone headed into the dining room.

"Wow, Piper! This looks amazing!" Patty said.

"Thanks, Mom. I hope it tastes amazing, too."

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

After dinner and after everyone had gone to bed, Piper and Leo were talking in their bedroom. "Leo, are you happy with the size of our family?" Piper asked.

"Of course I am, honey. Why?"

"Because, seeing Prue's baby got me thinking."

"Thinking about what?"

"I want a baby."

Leo smiled. "Really? That's great! I have always regretted not being here to help you with the girls when they were babies. And this time I can help!"

"Excellent." Piper and Leo kissed and then she said, "I love you, Leo."

"I love you too, Piper."

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

In the morning, Piper was in the kitchen making coffee when Leo came in and wrapped his arms around her. "Morning," he said.

"Morning. Is everyone still sleeping?"

"As far as I know, yes. Well, except for maybe Prue and Andy."

"Yeah. Paige should be back any time and then I think my parents and her will be going home."

"Ok. I'm going to get the girls up now. Why don't we take the girls out today?"

"Sounds good to me. Where do you want to go?"

"The park?"

"Sure." Piper then went back to making coffee and breakfast while Leo went to wake up the twins.

A few minutes later, Prue walked into the kitchen carrying Alex. She plopped down at the table and Piper asked, "How did you sleep?"

"Not very well. He wouldn't stop crying. Whenever I went over to my bed, he would start screaming. After a while of it, Andy took over."

"Well, Leo and I are taking the girls out today so you can try to get some sleep. If you want, we can take A.J., too."

"No that's alright. A.J. misses me. Besides, Andy will be here, all day. He can keep A.J. distracted if I need to sleep."

"Ok. What do you want for breakfast?"

"Just some toast and juice for now, please."

"Ok, coming right up."

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

Later that day, Leo, Piper and the girls were at the park when someone came up to them. It was Darryl.

"Darryl, what are you doing here?" Piper asked.

"I need you to come down to the station," he said.

"Why? What's going on?" Piper questioned.

"Nothing, really. I just need to talk to you."

"Both of us, or just me?"

"Mostly just you, but I could talk to Leo, too."

"Ok. What's it about?"

"I can't really tell you here. I have to tell you at the station."

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

Half an hour later, they were all at the station. Darryl took all four of them into one of the interogation rooms for privacy.

"So, Darryl, what's going on?"Piper asked.

"Dan Gordon escaped," he said.

"What? How would that happen?" Leo asked.

"We don't know. Do you know where Paige is?"

"Yeah. She should be with my parents by now," Piper said.

"Do you have a phone number where they could be contacted?"

"Uh, yeah. 255-0897. It's my dad's cell phone number."

"Ok. I'll be right back."

"Leo, why do think Dan broke out? Do you think he might come after me or the girls? Or even Paige?"

"I don't know, sweety. We'll stay together as much as we can, though. And Darryl's probably going to have your dad keep an eye on Paige. Everything's going to be fine." Leo reached over to Piper and grabbed her hand.

Darryl came back in a few minutes later and sat down. "There's a small problem."

"What?"Piper asked.

"Someone called in and said Paige is missing."

"WHAT! Who? Was my parents? Was it Paige's dad?"

"Uh, they didn't say."

"I need to go home."

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

"MOM!" Piper said when she got home. "PRUE! PHOEBE!"

"Shhh." Phoebe said from the living room. "What's wrong?"

"Have you heard from Paige yet?"

"How did you know about her?"

"Darryl came to the park and took us to the station. He had to tell us that Dan escaped. I have a feeling that he might have kidnapped her."

"Oh no. I hope not."

"Have you heard from Sam?"

"Yeah. He's actually in the kitchen with Mom and Dad."

Piper went to the kitchen and saw Patty sitting at the table with Paige's favourite stuffed animal that she takes with her whenever she sleeps over somewhere.

"I know who has her," Piper said as soon as she got in the kitchen. "It's Dan Gordon. Dad, do you know how to contact Jeremy?"

"I can call his mother to find out. She still lives next door to us in San Fernando."

"Great. Do that. I think Jeremy can probably help us out."
