Katarina
A/N: Sorry for updating in a while. Stuffs just been happening left, right, and center.
The doors opened and they all turned to see a young woman walking through the door. She looked around shyly before walking up to Chris's boss. They talked for a few moments, and he pointed Bianca out. The young teen walked slowly up to Bianca. The Phoenix witch stared at her silently for a few moments before striding up to her. They stared each other in the eyes for a few moments before hugging fiercely. The newcomer had dark, inky black hair down to her mid-back and bright hazel eyes swirled with gold. Chris looked at her and smiled slightly. He knew the teenager hugging Bianca. It was Bianca's little sister Katarina "Kitty" Bailey Thomas. When Lynne, their mother, had been vanquished, Bianca (age 6) and Kitty (age 4 months) had been sent to different foster homes. Kitty was taken in by the Hawley family at age 10, but Bianca was kept in the system until she reached 18. The Hawley's sent pictures of Kitty every year. It was no secret that Kitty did not like them and they returned the feeling. It stated when Kitty was 12 and diagnosed with epilepsy. Back to the story. Bianca and Kitty were talking in rapid Italian, their mother tongue. Chris managed to pick up some facts. The Hawleys were trying to send her away and she needed to stay with Bianca and Chris. The man nodded at his sister-in-law and she hugged him tightly. The sisters walked out and Chris turned to his two friends. Evan and Alex nodded. The three men rounded up the six children and headed out the silver mini-van. Andy, Mel, Lily, Luke, Sky, and Shay were buckled in and the two families left the adoption party.
On the way home, Evan, Alex, and Chris started talking in the front seat.
"So what are you going to do about your family?" Evan asked. Chris sighed, looking at the road thoughtfully.
"I don't even know how they found us. Bianca and I both put spells on the house and yours," he replied.
"Why don't you talk to them anymore?" Alex piped up from behind his husband.
"They always thought Wyatt was more powerful than me, and I was cast into the shadows. Phaedra wasn't tossed away because mom and dad always wanted a girl. They didn't know about my prophecy. Then I started going out with Bianca, and they flipped out. Then we got married, and moved to a different part of town. Mom and Dad hated me because of Bianca, and hated the kids because they were more powerful than her precious twice-blessed," he said bitterly. Alex nodded, and internally seethed. He and Bianca had grown up and gone to school together. Alex was now a doctor at San Francisco Hospital and Bianca became a photographer for the local 411 magazine. A thought dawned on him.
"How did Bianca and Kitty get home?" he asked. Chris smiled absently, like he always does at the mention of his wife.
"Binky either shimmered them or they took Kitty's car," he said. By this point they had reached Chris's house.
"You guys want to stay tonight so that we can all just carpool to work in the morning?" the witchlighter asked. The two nodded. Between the 6 kids, only three had fallen asleep. Chris picked up Lily, Evan got Shay, and Alex got Luke. They got Sky, Mel, and Andy into the house and on the couch to watch the television for a few moment. Alex went to their house to get changes of clothes for his family. Kitty and Bianca walked down the stairs and smiled. All the kids were piled on the couch half asleep. The girls were dressed for bed. Bianca in black silk pants and a red tank top. Kitty was in the same except she had a silver top. The boys went upstairs to change. Chris had on green boxers and a white shirt. Alex and Evan the same, except in blue and grey respectivly. They sat on the floor as all the children slowly fell asleep.
"So what are the sleeping arrangements?" Evan asked. Bianca thought for a moment, and Chris wisely let her decide.
"Well there are three spare rooms, plus Andy, Mel, Luke, and Lily's rooms. Thank god the Elders let us add on to the house. Well, Kitty can have one room, Evan and Alex can share one. Do you want the girls to share a room together or with you?" she asked. The house was more like a large mansion with 8 rooms and 4 bathrooms. There was a playroom and a computer room on the third floor plus an attic and the basement.
"Well, let's put them in the extra room together," Evan said. Bianca nodded. Bianca picked up Lucas and Lillian, Chris got Mel, Kitty got Andy, Evan picked up Shay, and Alex got Sky. They carried them upstairs. Each of the Halliwell kids had their own room. Kitty's new room was right across the hall from Andy's room. The adults tucked all the kids in, and headed off to bed themselves, preparing for another encounter with Chris's family.
The next day, all the adults were dressed and eating breakfast.
"Hey Chris, do you want me to watch the kids today?" Kitty asked as the topic of a babysitter came up. Chris nodded, and that topic was tabled. After a nice hot breakfast, the families split up. Chris and Evan took Evan's car, and Alex and Bianca rode together in Chris's car. Kitty ran upstairs, showered and dressed in sweat pants and a black shirt. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail, and went to wake up the six kids. She managed to get the two older sets of twins and Lily into Lucas's room. She looked at all of them thoughtfully for a moment.
"Andy, Mel, can you guys orb your new friends to the playroom?" she asked her niece and nephew. They nodded and grabbed Shay and Sky's hands. They orbed up to the third floor. Their orbs were dark blue and white with red shimmers in them. She looked at the two infants blinking up at her with bright green eyes. She picked Luke up and shimmered them into the playroom.
The playroom is interesting becuause it has toys for children of all ages. There were also spare clothes and diapers up there. She showered the toddlers and changed the babies before handing out breakfast. She let the kids play with the toys and watch the t.v. while she worked out a little bit. She handed out lunch, and put the kids down for a nap on the couch. She checked her messages online. She deleted all the spam and got on facebook (i don't own). She didn't know something or someone was lurking outside the house, waiting for the right moment to strike.
