Chapter 5 (Patty's POV)

"Well, we need to get rid of him of course!" Mother said, oblivious to the fact that this might be an opportunity to have the girls re-connect with their father. She went to the door and saw that Victor was frozen. She smiled at me, and I flicked my fingers in Victor's direction and he unfroze.

"Patty," he shook his head in surprise to see my mom next to me. "Penny," he said stiffly.

"What do you want Victor? You caused enough trouble in this family. Why don't you go crawl back in the hole you were in before?" Victor looked stung, and I could tell that he truly felt guilty for leaving.

Flashback

We had just got home after the hospital released the ok to let me leave with little Phoebe in my arms. Victor had his arm around me, not even in the least disappointed about having another little girl in the family. Unfortunately, a demon just had to pop in and rear it's ugly head at us. Repositioning Phoebe I threw out a free hand and froze the demon on the spot. "Victor get Phoebe with her sisters," I put Phoebe into Victor's arms and called out for Mom, who was still outside. "DEMON!"

Mom ran in, still very quick and nimble for a woman her age, and swished her arm activating her telekinetic punch. The demon went flying, and crashed into the kitchen. I froze the demon again and Mom did her thing, being able to come with a spell of the top her head, "Demon so vile, twisting his evil interests to hurt others, I send you back to hell with no chance for reconcile!" I look towards Victor and he was with our daughters, huddling them close, trying to make them not wanting them to watch.

Victor looked up at me, worry and slight anger. "When is this going to stop Patty? I do not want our daughters raised while being under constant demon attacks."

"Victor, they are not going to have a choice when they get older, it is their destiny. You know that already," Mom instantly snapped. Honest to god, I hated growing up as a witch. The constant burden of vanquishing demons, not being able to have a normal life, it is infuriating. The only thing is that I don't regret not being one though.

"I honestly would like them to have a normal childhood too Vic, but it will be harder if they don't have their powers. They are at more of a risk of being hurt without them protecting them." I said, trying to rationalize what my mom meant to say. His eyes flashed a sense of doubt.

"You don't even want to consider this?" He shook his head. "Fine, I am ok about this for now," A few months later, he couldn't stand it anymore. I could still see love in his eyes as he said this, "Patty, I love you, but I can't deal with magic anymore,"

"Victor," I try, but he silences me.

"I know you can't give up your powers for me and our daughters, and it will better for you if I am not here. I am not going to burden you with my presence anymore, your mother made that clear," And with that he left, and I didn't hear from him since. The tears kept pouring like that for months.

"No, Mom." she gives me a weird look, but steps down. "Come on in Victor," We walked into the living room, and sat down. He twiddled his thumbs nervously as he looked at Paige.

"Who is this?" he asked.

"This is my daughter Paige Halliwell-Wilder," he seemed stung that I had a child with Sam, but managed to keep a straight face. Paige moved her little baby body and to get a good look at him, and she let out a happy squeal to see a new face. With that she disappeared from my arms and started to orb towards Victor. "Hold your arms out!" I yell quickly, not wanting Paige to fall. Victor instantly put his arms out, and Paige formed back into her little baby body, and he brought her close, like his own daughter.

Victor looked down at Paige, looking at her baby body. Paige cuddled, into his body and he smiled. "She is beautiful Patty,"

"You want to see Prue, Piper, and Phoebe?" I asked, now knowing the reason he came back. His head shot up, and he smiled a big toothy smile. "Mom, can you send the girls in here?" Grams got Prue, Piper, and Phoebe up and they were walking towards Victor. Prue's icy blue eyes shot up in recognition. At first in surprise, but then they darkened. Prue was still mad at her father, and I knew it.

"Da-Victor," her voice sounded and I saw his happiness fade into sadness as he saw Prue walk away. He looked down, knowing he had disappointed one of his daughters by coming back. Piper looked at Victor and smiled crying, "Daddy!" she started to run for him, but then went back to grab Phoebe's hand, and they went towards Victor.

"Piper, Phoebe," he cried, tears of happiness stinging his eyes. He picked up Piper with his free hand and put her on one leg, and while transferring Paige back to me, and picked up Phoebe. "I have missed you so much,"

"Da da, why did you leave? Piper asked.

"No love us?" Phoebe babbled.

"Daddy loves you so much, but he had to go away for awhile, but now he is going to be back for good," he said bringing two of his girls close to his body. He looked at me, as if asking for approval, and I just nodded. Paige started to squirm in my arms, wanting to be with her sisters, and wanting to be, no way, with Victor? Paige started to orb, again but I whispered, "Alright, I'll bring you over to him,"

"Paige wants in to," I said as the squirming baby wanted in. Victor made room for Paige to wiggle in, and I safely plopped her down into Victor's arms. "I'll go see if I can talk to Prue to coming down,"

Meanwhile in Prue's Room (Prue's POV)

Daddy came back, but why would he? He doesn't love us, he thinks we are freaks because what we are. I stared at a picture, that was on my bedside, one of me, Mommy, and Daddy. Why did he come back if he hates us?

Patty's POV

I walked upstairs and headed into Prue's room, and saw her crying looking at a picture we had taken when she was little. "Prue, honey what's wrong?"

"Why is Daddy back if he hates us?" she asked with her seven year old bluntness.

"Prue, Daddy doesn't hate you or your sisters." Her blue eyes teared up as she denied it.

"If he loves us, why did he leave?" I was not sure how to answer. I thought of something that may help.

"Why don't you ask Daddy? I'll go get him," Prue just nodded in response, and I headed downstairs, to find Victor still playing with Piper, Phoebe, and Paige. "Girls, can I talk to Daddy for awhile?" They nodded, and I grabbed Paige from his arms and walked into the kitchen where Mom was still there.

"Can you watch Paige for awhile? Me and Victor are going to talk to Prue," Mom took her from my arms but stopped me.

"Are you sure you are doing the right thing Patty? Re-introducing the girls to Victor?"

"Mom, he is their father, I can't take that right away from him,"

"He should have lost that right when he walked out on us."

"Mother, please not right now, just let me talk with Victor,"

"I see you have forgotten about Sam since Victor came back," That made me stop in my tracks. Have I really forgotten my feelings for Sam already? Have I already given up on him?

"Can we please talk about this later mom?" she finally nodded and I walked out of there. "Victor, you need to go talk to Prue,"

"Is that what she wants, or does she just want to push me away again?" Victor genuinely looked depressed, thinking that his seven year old daughter hated him.

"Just go up there, and try to explain. Prue is very smart for her age," Victor nodded and headed upstairs.

Victor's POV

I swallowed as I got closer and closer to Prue's room. She looked at me like I was the scum of the world, and that felt like a knife to my heart. I lightly knocked on her door, and opened it. "Prue, can I come in?" She just nodded and I slowly walked in, and I noticed she was spilling tears over a family portrait. She turned around, and she looked at me, tears still forming in her baby blue eyes.

"Daddy, why did you leave, why did you hate us so much that you left us?" Hearing her ask that to me was like a knife to the heart.

"It is really hard to explain, but I didn't leave because of that. I love you and your sisters more than anything else on this planet, and I just wanted you to have the best life you could have. Leaving you, your sisters, Mommy, and Grams was the biggest mistake I have ever made in my life." After I finished, Prue hopped off her bed, and started pull me into a big hug. I lifted her up and she buried her face into my chest. "I love you so much Prue,"

"I love you too Daddy,"

In front of Prue's room (Penny's POV)

I went to go check on Prue, and saw what Victor said, and for once in my life since I have known Victor, I actually believed what he said was true. I can really tell he was still in love with Patty. He is going to be a good father again, if I get over my pride and let him. I smiled, and looked down at the sleeping Paige in my arms. She is going to need a father figure until I can get Sam back. As I went downstairs, I heard a crash and I knew there was a demon in the house.

I am going to end it here, 4 hours of typing and finally getting inspired can really make a guy tired. Anyways, reviews appreciated :D
