Greetings aliens! (oops wrong meeting lol)
Anyways, this is going to be part of one of a sequal (with a one shot squeezed in between)... i am obliged (by law) to tell you that i own charmed and everything in its vicinity...
Actually, i only own Prestyn and this storyline (NOT CHARMED)which isquite a good storyline, if i do say so myself. Take the time read it and review it and i promise you won't be disappointed.
Cheers
Chapter One
Piper, Phoebe and Paige were settled at the kitchen table at six thirty in the morning – this was their only quiet time and bonding time. Quite pathetic when one thinks about it. Quiet time and bonding time shouldn't have to be squeezed in, it should just flow. But when you're a mother (which only applies to two), a sister, a wife (which applies to only one), and a witch, these things, one will find, don't flow as freely as one would like.
"How long do you think we have?" Piper mumbled, breaking the silence by referring to the kids, her hand cupping her chin as she leant on the table clutching a mug of coffee.
"Shh!" Phoebe hissed, her eyebrows furrowing in. "Don't you dare jinx it, Piper," she warned in a tired tone.
"They don't realize it now, but when they're older they will want nothing more then to sleep," Paige declared.
"For now, they think it's punishment," Piper stated.
"Who knew they'd have their orbing and shimmering ability down pat?" Paige rhetorically asked, referring to the fiasco of the night before.
When Piper walked into the conservatory where the kids were playing to tell them that it was bedtime, pretty blue and white sparkles and clear waves were going all over the house as Chris and Wyatt orbed, and Prestyn shimmered, desperately trying to avoid the dreaded 'bedtime'. It took a fake batch of cookies to get these kids into the same room, and once there, each sister took hold of a child and orbed or walked them up to their rooms.
The three children shared one room, at least for now. The girls would either have to look at renovating or look at moving. Demon activity was too strong for them to move now. Paige could orb back to the manor in no time, as she did quite often, as she practically lived with her boyfriend Glenn, but Phoebe would have no way of getting to the manor in the blink of an eye; she was not going to rely on her daughter to do it for her, and she was not going to leave Piper and her nephews by themselves while Paige orbed to get her either. So it looked like renovations were going to have to take place relatively soon.
It then took one story book and a made up story to get the kids to fall asleep; to which Paige happily agreed to do, foolishly overlooking the fact that these were kids. What should have taken a half an hour max. to do, took at least two hours as Paige was being bombarded by questions; some she could answer, some she could not, and some she had absolutely no clue what they were going on about. It took her fifteen minutes to locate a story that they would all like and almost a half an hour to decide on a topic for the made up story that they would all like! When Paige got back downstairs afterwards, all she could do was complain about how she was never having children; having a niece and two nephews was enough for her.
"That alone can be draining!" Phoebe said.
"Hey, you were only there for the orb and shimmer chase. You were not there for the 'whys' and the 'hows' and the 'whats' and 'whos' and the 'what ifs' and the –"
"Alright already," Phoebe groaned.
Piper giggled a little.
"I might go and check on them, and see how they're sleeping…"
"If they are asleep," Piper said.
"Momma!" Prestyn cried.
Phoebe became suddenly alert. "Prestyn?" Phoebe got up and bolted out of the kitchen with her sisters following and ran straight into her daughter and nephews. She scooped her daughter up into her arms. "Shh, it's okay baby," Phoebe soothed stroking her daughter's hair. "What happened?" Phoebe asked Wyatt.
"I don't know. We got up when Prestyn screamed out for you," he answered sleepily, trying to stifle a yawn.
"Chris honey, what about you?" Piper asked.
"We were all still sleepin'."
"Prestyn, was it a bad dream?" Piper asked, gently.
Prestyn only became more hysterical.
"I have this, Piper, its okay." She walked with her daughter into her room.
Piper sighed, not knowing what else she could do for her sister and niece. "Come on boys, let's go and make you some breakfast."
"Are they going to be okay, mommy?" Chris asked speaking slowly and carefully so as to get his words right. When he spoke fast his words would come out in the wrong order, or he would get tongue tied.
"They're going to be fine, sweetie," she answered as the four of them made their way into the kitchen.
"If they're going to be fine, then why was Prestyn crying, and why was Aunt Phoebe scared?" Wyatt questioned, eying his mother and Aunt carefully. Piper walked over to the cupboard and pulled out two bowls and two different cereals.
Wyatt and Chris had both witnessed a lot growing up, Prestyn was lucky enough not to have witnessed anything like demons or the emotions running high as Leo would always take her and her cousins over to magic school in the cause of an event. To Prestyn, shimmering and orbing were part of the norm. Wyatt new better than to trust anything said by someone over his own instincts.
"Because we thought something had happened to the three of you, so we got scared." Piper placed a bowl each in front of her sons. Chris got straight into it, but Wyatt? Not Wyatt…
"What about Prestyn?" Wyatt folded his arms over his little chest.
"Uncross those arms, mister," Piper gently warned. Wyatt did as he was told. "Prestyn had a bad dream."
"How do you know? You weren't there."
"Eat your cereal Wyatt."
"Yeah, eat your cereal, Wyatt…" Chris teased.
"Chris," Piper warned.
"So how do you know if it was a bad dream when you weren't even there?"
Piper eyed her sister. A silent plea to help her out of this one.
"Because children have different sounds in their voices when something is the matter," Paige answered.
Wyatt looked at his Aunt in confusion. "Does that answer your question?" Wyatt continued to stare.
"Wyatt, you've been asked a question," Piper prodded her son.
"Yes ma'am." He started eating his cereal. Chris couldn't help but snigger.
"That's not nice Chris," Paige said.
"No it is not. But it is funny!" A big smile lit his face and Paige couldn't help but smile back.
"Paige."
"Why am I getting the warning voice?"
"You know why."
"But they're cute Piper, how can I not smile and laugh?"
Piper shook her head and rolled her eyes. At this moment she felt like she was dealing with three children rather than two.
"Can you keep an eye on these two for me for a few minutes?"
"Sure."
"Where are you going?" Wyatt asked. He liked to keep a watchful eye on his mother – on the rest of the family too, but mainly his mother – since Leo could not be around that much due to his Elderly duty, Wyatt felt he needed to.
"I'm going to check on your Aunt Phoebe and Prestyn, Officer Wyatt, is that okay?"
"Okay, but be careful of demons mommy."
"I will, I promise."
Tell me whether it is up to your standards by pushing that button dudes :)
