Chapter 14-Questions and Confrontations

Dillon came up behind Parker, wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her on the cheek. Then, Phoenix's 'I want mommy' cry recited through the manor. Leo looked between Parker and Dillon and then ran into the kitchen before anyone could stop him.

They quickly followed him into the kitchen and Parker ran over and quickly got Phoenix out of her high-chair and held her close."Shh, baby, your OK, mommy's here." she cooed holding her close and bouncing her around a little.

"Excuse Me!!!" Leo exclaimed. "What the hell do you mean 'mommy'?"

"I mean I am her mother and I am here for her." Parker shot back handing Potter his pacifire. "And this is Dillon, my boyfriend and their father." She said walking over and standing next to Dillon.

The next thing she knew, Leo was lunging at Dillon but before he could attack him, he was thrown across the room. They turned to see Piper standing in the doorway with one arm out as if she had blown something up. Parker thought it was kind of funny. Dillon on the other hand thought that is was inoppropriate behavior infront of the twins. Piper just casually walked over and unhooked Potter from his high-chair and rested him on her hip.

"God mom what did you do to him?" Parker said trying to hold back her laughter.

"I just blew him up a little. No big deal. He'll wake-up sooner or later." Piper said walking into the conservatory and sitting on the couch with Potter in her lap. "Anyway, did you finish the power stripping potion?"

"Yes and I gave it to them in their bottles about 30 minutes age." Parker told her joining her mother on the couch with Phoenix. She looked over and Potter was going to sleep in her mom's lap laying his head on her chest. "How do you do that?"

"Do what sweetie?" Piper asked confused.

"that" Parker said indicating Potter's sleeping form. "It takes me forever to get him to sleep but you just have to sit down and he goes straight to sleep."

Piper laughs at her daughter and says, "It takes LOTS of practice to learn how to take care of one baby properly let alone two. Your doing great sweetie and your only going to get better."

Dillon decided this is a mother/daughter moment so he stepped forward and says "Here let me take him up-stairs and lay him down." He takes Potter from Piper and heads up-stairs.

"So, when do you think he's gonna wake-up?" Parker asked.

"Well, it's hard to tell, babies can wake-up at any time." Piper responded.

"Not Potter, dad." Parker said obviously.

"Like I said babies can wake-up at any time." Piper said taking Phoenix from Parker and bouncing her around. Parker laughed and watched her mother walk her daughter around the room.

This great mother/daughter moment was interupted by Leo orbing into the conservatory. As soon as he formed completely, he charged toward Parker who backed away terrified. "WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!?!?"

"GET AWAY FROM HER!!" Piper yelled. She had had Phoenix orb herself up-stairs with her father when Leo orbed in. "Yeah she made some mistakes but no regrets from anyone." Parker nodded in agreement to her mother.

"What is the matter with you Piper? She isn't ready for motherhood! She's too young!" Leo practically shouted at Piper.

"You don't know anything about me and you sure as hell don't know rather I'm ready for anything!" Parker shouted at Leo. He turned around shocked that his daughter would speak to him that way.

"Parker be quiet this doesn't concern you!" Leo told her looking stern.

"Doesn't concern me? Their my children and..."Parker was cut off mid-sentence by Leo.

"They shouldn't be!" Leo told her.

Parker looked at him, her green eyes full with furry. "Yes they do, they are my children more then you've EVER been my father." She spat back at him.

"Get out!" Piper said from behing Leo. "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE NOW!!"

At first, Parker wasn't sure if she meant her or Leo but once she saw her mother looking at him with a face of death, she had her answer.

Leo orbed away but not before sending a glare towards each of the Halliwell mother/daughter duo.

Parker was so angry she was shacking and all she could think about was holding her children in her arms again. She quickly swept past her mother and headed up-stairs to the nursery.

What she saw when she arrived touched her heart. Dillon was sitting in the floor playing peek-a-boo with Phoenix who was giggling and smiling at her father innocently. Not wanting to break-up the father/daughter bonding unfolding before her, she just leaned up against the doorframe and watched the beautiful sight.

After a few minutes, Dillon noticed Parker starring. He turned and looked at her and nudged his head indicating for her to join them. On her walk over she looked into Potter's crib and saw that he was awake and looking up at her with his bright lime green eyes. Parker smiled down at him and picked him up and placed him on the floor with his sister and father. They sat in the floor of the nursery just playing and spending time as a family.

What they didn't know was that Piper was standing in the doorway of the nursery watching with a smile on her face.
