Underworld
A young women with long wavy brown hair, dressed in Indian style clothing, was looking down at a pool of water. In the pool of water, there could be seen a reflection of a young man, with black/brown hair and brown eyes.
"Who are you?" She whispered to the refection, dropping her hand in the water around the man, before turning away from the pool completely.
In front of The Halliwell
The young man whose refection was seen in the pool of water, was now on the side walk in front of Piper's restaurant, standing between a man and a woman in their twenties, and everyone besides him seemed to be frozen.
"Sandra, you've been hurt so many times that you're scared to open up to John. You don't even try to give the guy a chance. Try to let him in your heart, you should give love another shot." He said to the woman, and then turned to the man. "John, you're trying way too hard to get her attention. Sandra needs time, and you should push her. Let her make some moves, let her now you're ready to wait until she's ready."
He smiled, then walked away from them a bit, and touched the ring he had on his right hand which glowed dark pink, and time unfroze itself.
"Ok, I won't push. See you tomorrow." John said starting to walk away.
"Wait!" Sandra called out, unsure, playing with her hands. "Would you like to go to dinner? After all we are in front of one of the best restaurants in the city." She questioned, gesturing towards the building.
"Sure." John said, as a huge smile spread across his face. They both walked towards the restaurant, he held the door open for her, and then entered himself.
They young man smiled, another job well done. Then he glanced down at his wrist watch.
"Oh man! 8:03! I'm late." He exclaimed, as he ran towards the restaurant.
"Hey Sam." He greeted the maître-d, with a wave of his hand.
"You're late Peter. As usual." The man called Sam said sternly, he was in his late 40's with black hair, with a few white and gray stands, cut short, and blue tiered eyes. But he broke ut into a smile, he hand known the Halliwell kids for nineteen years, and knew them well.
"Well…" Peter trailed of, looking at Sam, with an uneasy smile, scratching the back of his head.
"Your parents are already here, the family's waiting in the 2nd medium sized dining hall."
"Am I the last one to arrive?"
"No, Christopher isn't here yet. Neither is your sister Patricia."
"Ok. Later." He said with a wave before walking away.
"Peter, there you are!" His mother called, as he entered the dining hall.
"Sorry I'm late. I had work." He justified pointing towards his ring.
"Oh, ok." She said, pulling him in for a hug. "Go say hi to everyone." She said letting go of him, with a big smile on her face.
"I will mom." He said with a smile, and shook his head at his mother's giddiness. His mom was always giddy, whenever they had family events. He gave her a kiss on the cheek before heading on, to say hi to everyone else.
Patricia and Chris arrived moments later.
After everyone caught up with each other and said there hello's, they took their seats at the table.
In mid-meal, Wyatt got up, catching everyone's attention, pulling Sophia, by the hand, up with him. "We have an important announcement to make." He said, with a smile.
Everyone silenced, and focused all of their attention on the young couple. Pheobe's expression quickly changed to worry, and she and Henry Jr. exchanged a knowing glance. Since both of them had empathy, they pretty much saw were this was going.
"We're engaged." Wyatt said happily, holding out Sophia's hand so the family could see the engagement ring.
Patricia choked on her drink. While Piper and Paige looked a bit to choked to talk. Leo looked at Chris, who just shook his head. Pheobe turned to Coop and Peter, who were both neutral when it came to family relationships.
Mel, Peyton, and Melody kept silent, exchanging knowing glances, unsure if they should be happy or worried. And Henry Jr. was whispering the 'problem' to his father, so he could understand what was worrying everyone.
Even though they were worried, they plastered on smiles, and a cores of "Congratulations" and "Congrats" could be heard from everyone.
"So, Sophia" Piper started. "How did this happen?"
Wyatt and Sophia smiled as they took their seats, and Sophia was more than happy to tell the story to everyone.
Everyone smiled and laugh, as the next conversations were filled with wedding stories, and relationship misfortunes, mostly told by the sisters and their husbands. But also of conversation, about wedding plans witch were mostly between Sophia, Piper and Pheobe.
Piper smiled towards Sophia, before turning to her right and whispering to Chris. "Family reunion, at the Manner, after dinner, ask Peyton to get the message across."
"Excuse me." Chris said, as he got up from the table, walking out of the dining hall, and towards the men's room.
Once there he leaned on the sink grabbing hold of it with his left hand for support, and pressed two fingers to his right temple, closing his eyes to concentrate.
'Pey, can you hear me?" He asked in his mind.
"Yeah." She answered. While Chris needed a lot of concentration to use his telepathy with none-charges, Peyton could use it with ease, since it was her natural power, she could be in a room full of people an no one would notice she was doing it.
"Tell the rest of the family that there is to be a family reunion at the Manner after dinner. K? I think that t's only for the parents, me, Wyatt, Peter, Henry Jr. and Patricia, since we are the eldest, but since my mom didn't specify you can worn the other as well."
"Except for Sophia." Pey stated.
"Of course."
"Done."´
"Cool. Thanks cous."
"Anytime, see ya soon Chris."
"See you.."
"Are you alright man?" Seth, one of the waiters of the restaurant asked, grabbing hold of Chris's left shoulder, interrupting his conversation with Pey, since he lost concentration.
"Yeah, just got a head ache, must be from lack of sleep." Chris justified quickly, standing up straighter, and placing both arms to his sides.
"It's from over working." Seth accused. "We never hang out anymore dude, you're always working. That club is ganna be the end of you."
"Yeah, I could really use a vacation." Chris nodded, but in reality he knew, that if anything he needed a vacation from, it was from demon hunting, not from running the club, the club he rarely put foot in to actually have fun, only to take care of business. "Well I should be heading back; parents might start to get worried." Chris replied, patting Seth on the back, before turning to leave. "Nice seeing you, Seth."
"You too. Take care Chris." Seth called, shaking his head at his old high school buddy.
Chris headed back to the dining hall and took his black leather jacket off of the chair he had been previously seated in. "Wyatt, Sophia, congrats. But I should be heading home, I still got to drive by P3 before I go to my apartment, so see you too tomorrow." He said as he waved at them.
"Sure bro." Wyatt responded, while Sophia nodded.
"I think we should be leaving too." Pheobe said. "Let's go kids."
"Mom, we're not kids anymore." Peter, Patricia and Peyton called out, making the adults laugh.
"My mom still treats me as a kid, and I'm 21. How do you want your mom to treat you like an adult when you just turned 18?" Chris laughed, while ruffling Peter's longish Black/brown hair.
Peter mumbled and fixed his hair, swatting away Chris hands, causing more laughter from the adults.
"See you guys tomorrow." Chris said waving at the rest at the table; a course of "Bye's" "Drive safe" and "See you soon" were heard. As Pheobe, Coop, and there kids got ready to leave as well.
"You coming?" Chris called out to Peter, for when Wyatt moved in with Sophia, Peter moved in to Chris and Wyatt's old apartment, in which Chris still lived.
"Yeah."
Little by little everyone left the dining hall, and the Halliwell restaurant. Heading home, to then head to the Manner.
Ok, tell me what you think please. Thanks for reading. Bye. ;)
