PART 13:

TEA ANYONE?

Piper turned the tap off after the solid silver tea pot was filled to the line. She turned and set the tea pot on the lower right hand burner and turned the heat on to the highest number.

The sounds of Sam's heart wrenching sobs echoed throughout the manor. If Wyatt wakes up screaming I highly doubt we would be able to hear him over Sam. Piper sighed deeply. I don't blame Sam for his grief; but I hope Wyatt isn't affected by it tonight.

The tea pot whistered. Of course mommy, Aunt Phoebe and Auntie Pa … tears begun to blur Piper's vision. "Get a hold of yourself Piper Halliwell." She took the tea pot off the burner. She turned the burner off before moving a few steps over to the solid wooden island counter top.

Piper set the tea pot on the solid wood breakfeast tray along with the four solid black mugs she had set while the water was boiling.

I hope Chris is having a few hours of sleep tonight. I'll need him to keep an eye on Wyatt to mower, while I try to catch up my sleep. Piper picked up the tray and carefully made her way into the living room.

Sam finally got a hold of himself as he realized that his sobs carried through out the manor. If it was loud downstairs, than it would reason be a medium level at least upstairs. He remembered Wyatt was asleep in the nursery.

Sam moved away from Victor as he wiped his sleeve over his eyes to wipe what tears he could. "I'm sorry for being so loud." He looked over at Piper whom stood at the space between the entry way that faced the stair case and the living room.

"Doesn't sound like Wyatt, has waken." Piper said walking into the living room with the tray. She placed the tray on the coffee table. "Tea anyone?"

Phoebe tried to stop her silent tears, but she couldn't. She didn't want the others to know that she was breaking down, tonight was for Sam's grief. Phoebe didn't want to take the families soul support from Paige's father.
