Okay, so this chapter is set about two months after last chapter, making it November 14, 2005. Paige is four months pregnant and Phoebe is two months pregnant. And I'm not very good with the birthdays of Wyatt and Chris, but with some help from Laur, I have decided that Wyatt's birthday has to be around February, and Chris's birthday would be around November. Okay, I'll shut up now. Enjoy!
Piper paced around her bathroom, waiting for the results of her test. Lying over the edge of the sink was a small, plastic pregnancy test. Piper couldn't wait any longer. Picking up the test with shaky hands, she looked at the colour indicated in the circle. It was blue. The molecular witch's mouth dropped open.
"I'm pregnant." She whispered to herself. Piper couldn't believe that she was pregnant again. Chris was turning two years old in a few days and she was pregnant. Wyatt would be three in February. It would be hectic around the house with so many young children. Paige and Phoebe were also excepting mothers. Piper and Leo hadn't thought about having another child. But thinking back to when the oldest Halliwell sister had thought that she would never be able to have children; her third child was a blessing. A smile tugged at Piper's lips. "I hope you're a girl."
Jess leaned back in her chair, put her hands behind her head, and stared up at the ceiling of the classroom. The day was going by very slowly and nothing new was happening. Miss Dixon, a.k.a. Miss Persistent Bitch, had been teaching the exact same thing for the past hour and had just been repeating herself over and over again. The Elder/witch yawned slightly, however this action did not go unnoticed by the teacher.
"Miss Wilder, whether you pay attention or not is up to you, but could you at least not yawn in my class." Miss Dixon scolded.
Jess sighed, "Sure, didn't know it was a big deal."
"Are you done disrupting my class, Miss Wilder?"
"Oh sorry, I didn't know I was disrupting it. Let's go back to learning the exact same thing we have been talking about for the past hour that's not really helping us with this class."
"Are you quite finished?"
Jess looked around the room. She could tell the rest of the students were bored out of their minds as well. "No, I'm not finished. I took this class to learn about advanced magic with music and how to become a better musician, not to listen to you ramble about the history of your favourite singer." The rest of the students had devoted all their attention to the argument before them.
"Miss Wilder, are you done now?" The teacher asked, annoyed.
Jess thought for a moment, "Yeah, I'm finished."
"Good, because I have just come up with your next assignment. All of you are to perform a song, alone or in a group, in front of an audience and record it on camera. You will then hand it in to be watched by the rest of the class. This assignment is due on Monday." The bell then rang to signal that the one and a half hour class had ended. "You have one week, don't leave until Sunday night."
Jess gathered her things and got up from her seat.
"Miss Wilder, I'd like to speak to you." Jess sighed. This wasn't good.
"Yes Miss Dixon?" the Elder/witch asked as she approached her instructor.
"Is something going on at home that I should know about?"
"No, there's nothing going on at home that you should know about."
"Then why have you disrespected me time and time again?"
Jess scratched the back of her head, "Because you aren't teaching what I thought this class was about. You're not teaching us what this class is really about. I can tell that you're not educating up to your full standards. So maybe next time you think I'm disrespecting you, remember that you're disrespecting, and not just mine, but everyone's ability to become better musicians and witches. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get going." Jess then walked out of the classroom, leaving Miss Dixon to think.
Paige sat in her Headmistress chair in Magic School. She was dead tired, and would do anything for a little assistance. Being four months pregnant and the Headmistress of a school, which was magical, had its toll on the witch/Whitelighter. Orbs materialized in front of the large desk. Paige looked up and smiled at the newcomer.
"Hey Paige, how are you and Laurie?" the Whitelighter asked as he approached his wife.
"We're fine. Everything is going smoothly. And how are you my Whitelighter husband?" Paige questioned back. She moved closer to Kyle and slid her arms around his neck. Kyle rested his hands on her waist.
"Eh, I'm doing well." The youngest Halliwell grinned, but it soon faded. "Paige, what's wrong?"
"Do you think I'll be a good mom?" she looked at Kyle straight in the eyes.
"No-"
Paige cut him off, "You don't think I'll be a good mom?" she asked, shocked.
"Well, if you had let me finish. No, I don't think you'll be a good mom. I know you'll be a great mom." Kyle smiled and pecked his wife's lips.
The witch/Whitelighter grinned at her lover, "And you'll make a wonderful father." The couple just held the other in their arms in silence, until Kyle broke the peace.
"Do you think we should move out of the Manor soon?"
Paige thought for a moment, "Well, see, that's the thing. You're a Whitelighter, a non-paying job. I'm the Headmistress of Magic School, another non-paying job. Where are we going to get the money?"
"Hmm, good point. But we'll have to move out sometime. The Manor is going to get pretty packed after you and Phoebe give birth."
"Hey, sorry to break this little conversation up, but have either of you noticed that, besides a few lower-level demon attacks, Zankou hasn't bothered us for a really long time?" Jess questioned her cousin and Whitelighter.
"God, did the Avatars come back and start Utopia again?" Kyle joked. Both Paige and Jess glared at him. The Whitelighter rolled his eyes, "Sorry. Anyway-" Jess's cell phone rang, interrupting Kyle's speech.
"Sorry, this will take a second." She apologised. The Elder/witch took out her cellular phone and answered, "Hello?" silence. "What…? She's at Ellen's…? Why is that bad…? Oh, that's a good reason…. Okay, I'll be right there….Andrew… stop talking for a second…. Andrew, I'm hanging- Andrew, I'm hanging up my phone now. I'll see you in a few, bye." She ended her call with Andrew.
"What was that about?" Paige asked as she removed her arms from around Kyle's neck.
Jess shook her head, "Just Andrew over reacting again. Vera's at her mother's house. She went to go meet David. Apparently David isn't the nicest guy around, well, to Vera anyway. Anywho, I have to leave. See you both soon." She smiled, waved, and orbed out of Magic School.
Piper still stood in the bathroom, pondering how to tell Leo she was pregnant. Once thought over, the oldest sister decided it as time to call her husband.
"Leo!" she called, looking upwards. "Leo, please come here. I need to tell you something!" As if on cue, Leo appeared in lights behind his love.
"You called? Are you okay?" he asked worried.
"Sweetie, um, I need to tell you something." Piper replied slowly. Leo waited for her to continue. "I'm pregnant."
The Whitelighter's eyes widened as his lips tugged into a smile. "Seriously?" Piper nodded. "This is great!" he pulled Piper into a hug, and then kissed her. "Maybe this will be our little girl." Leo whispered in her ear.
Duncan sat on his torn up couch, flipping through the channels of the television. For the past two months, Dustin and he had been trying to figure out what 'the One' meant. Did it have something to do with their childhood, or was it because they were two brothers on opposite sides of the playing field? Dustin suddenly orbed in, landing on the couch beside his brother.
"Hey little bro. How are ya?" Dustin asked. He ruffled up Duncan's dark, shaggy brown hair. The younger Tennor brother swatted the Whitelighter. "Ow, what was that for?"
"Don't do that. You ruin my hair." Duncan said blankly. He turned his attention back to surfing the television stations.
"We should cut your hair!" suggested Dustin excitedly. The Darklighter jump up from the couch.
"I like my hair! Don't you touch it! It's fine just the way it is." he griped. "Anyway, let's stop talking about my lovely hair, which you wish you had, and start talking about why Laurie called us 'The One'."
"Dude, that was like two months ago." Dustin stated as he rolled his eyes. Every time the Whitelighter came by to talk to his brother, Duncan always went back to the subject of 'The One'.
"What's your point?" Duncan asked curiously. "She said one and not two. If Laurie had said two I wouldn't be so uptight." He explained vaguely.
Dustin snorted, "You're always uptight. If I stuck something up your ass, it would come out as diamond." The older Tennor brother laughed to himself.
"Why would you want to stick something up my ass? Not like I'd allow you to anyway, but that's not what I'm getting at." Duncan retorted. For the first time, in a very long time, Duncan and Dustin were bantering like normal brothers. Lately, the two Tennor men had been at each other's throats, even if they seemed to get along on the outside.
Dustin looked confused, "Then what are you getting at?" For some reason, Dustin felt that he was connected to his brother, but not just by blood. It felt like they were slowly becoming one person.
"I'm not sure anymore. I lost my train of thought." Duncan pouted. "Thanks a lot Dustin."
"Any time bro!" Dustin joked. "Any time."
Rightio, sorry if that was short/sucked. Like I said, I've been busy. In fact, I'm busy right now. Lol. Trying to get my puppy to stop nipping at my fingers while I type. Lol. Anywho, I'm not sure when the next update will be. Talk to ya'll later!
