Disclaimer: I don't have anything to do with Charmed, if so I would have gotten rid of Brad Karen a long time ago.

Note: This first chapter is just to set the mood, so sorry if nothing much Happens…

Chapter One

It was a normal day at the Halliwell manor, Piper was making lunch while shouting at the boys for the mess they were making, Leo was cleaning the mess from the latest demon attack, ten year old Wyatt and seven year old Chris were playing who can orb the fastest which of course was Wyatt, being older and more powerful as he was, but shush don't say that next to Chris, he hates hearing that.

"Leo!" Piper shouted in her normal way,

"what?" he shouted back,

"can you set the table?" she asked,

"yea sure" he sighed, "how many are we?"

"the usual eight, don't forget to take out the baby chair for little Prue!"

Bang! apparently Chris had orbed inside a cabinet again.

"not again!" Piper exclaimed with an over-worked-mother sigh.

Chris was stuck in one of the cabinet drawers and Wyatt was laughing so hard he couldn't get it open.

"let me do it!" came Leo to the rescue, pulling poor Chris out of the Drawer.

"stop laughing!" Chris shouted at his brother, by now Wyatt was laughing so hard he was nearly crying.

"Daddy tell him to stop!" Chris called out, now reaching to kick his brother.

"that's enough!" Piper stormed into the room freezing her kids,

"what did you do that for?" asked Leo, not because he didn't like her using magic on the kids, but because he couldn't do it himself, oh what he would give to be able to freeze his hyper-active kids when ever he wanted. Two magical boys are a lot of work.

Leo dragged Chris as far away from Wyatt as his back would let him and Piper unfreezed the boys with a warning "help your Dad set the table and don't dare say anything to each other". Pulling a face they went to do as they were told, after all, their Mom does have the power to blow things up.

Five minutes later there was a knock on the door, Chris orbed to get it, and with a grin opened it before his brother tried to get there. As he opened it little Prue crashed into him, she had just started walking and was still falling all over the place. "Hello" called Henry running to see if his daughter is ok, "no Daddy by myself!" Prue shouted at him, she wanted to show everyone she could walk with no help, if only that were true…

Henry ruffled Chris's hair and walked into the Manor, Paige right behind him carrying a salad.

30 minutes into the meal came the fatal question, the one that everyone tried to avoid, but Chris being a tactless seven year old came out with it, "Mom who is the eighth seat for?" an awful silence fell on the room, all eyes were on Piper waiting to see how she will respond. "its for auntie Phoebe, for when she comes" she answered in a quiet voice, "but she never comes!" he answered in a naive way, Piper shifted uneasily in her chair, the atmosphere was tense, "Ill explain later" Leo offered in a soft voice trying to avoid a storm.

They all turned back to their plates and continued eating silently.
