Chapter 15-Mommy and Daddy Fight and Beloved Grandma Piper

It has been two weeks since the fight with Leo and they hadn't seen or heard from him since, which Piper and Parker were grateful for. Parker freaked out about what he had said and won't let either one of the twins out of her sight. Dillon stayed at the manor with Parker for the same reason, and the demon attacking the twins that morning really didn't help ease their worries either. Piper was still at P3 working and didn't know about the demon attack.

Parker was flipping through the book in the attic trying to ID the demon. The twins were sitting beside her in their play-pen. Phoenix was asleep and Potter was playing with his new found toys, his toes, he loved to play with them and watch them move, Piper and Parker thought it was cute. Every few seconds Parker would look into the play-pen to make sure they were OK. Dillon was sitting on the old couch trying to calm Parker down.

"Hunny, Why don't you let me put her in her crib?" He asked her. He understood where she was coming from but he was starting to get a little annoyed and impatient.

"No, Dillon their staying where I can see them." She told him plainly.

He sighed getting aggrevated. "So, what are you going to do if you need to go to the kitchen or somewhere to get something? Take them with you?"

"No, I'll just send you to get whatever it is." she said mater-of-factly not looking up from the Book of Shadows.

"Oh really? What am I your slave now?" he practically screams at her.

"You know what Dillon? I'm not fighting you about this." she tells him finally looking at him instead of the book. They fought every single time her mom left them in the house alone and she was getting sick of it.

"God Parker. You have to let go sometime. Nothings gonna happen to them." he tells her.

"How do you know? It's only a matter of time before the demons come back." she shouts at him loosing her cool.

"I told you, Shafon was vanquished!" he shouts back.

"Shafon's not the only demon out there Dillon!"

He just shakes his head at her and goes over to the play-pen and picks-up a now crying Phoenix, she woke up scared from hearing her parents screaming at eath other, and starts walking out of the room.

"Where are you taking her?" she asked him.

"I'm putting her in bed." he told her.

Once they got in the nursery, Dillon layed Phoenix down in her crib and kissed her on the head. He walked out of the room with the baby moniter and handed it to Parker. He then kissed Potter on the head and proceeded down-stairs.

"Where are you going?" she asked him scared to hear his answer.

"We both need time to think about everything. I'm going home Parker. Call me when you decide." he told her plainly.

"Decide What?" then she got extremely pissed. "Are you asking me to chose between you and our children?"

"No, Well you have severe seperation issues with the twins, you need to learn that you can't be by their side 24/7." he told her as he grabbed his jacket and his back-pack and let the manor.

Piper walked in the front door as he walked out. "Where's he going?"

Parker just shakes her head and hands Potter and the baby moniter to her unsuspecting mother. "I can't." she says to her.

"You can't what hunny?" Piper asks worriedly.

"I just can't." and with that runs out the front door to a place she knows so well...to well.

Piper just looks between Potter and the door and heads over to the phone. She picks it up and dials Parker's cell phone number and hears "Hi, This is Parker sorry I can't come to the phone right now, please leave a message and I'll call you back as soon as I can. Thank you." Piper sighs and leaves a message saying, "Parker, this is your mom, please call me back or even better come home. I don't know what happened or what's wrong but I'd like to help. I love you." and hangs up the phone.

She looks at the baby boy on her hip and sees that he is swiftly looking around the room turning his head in different directions rapidly and scrunching his face up in funny manners as if he'd never seen the place before and was looking at it for the first time. Piper can't help but smile and the little boy finally looks at her and contintly lays his forhead on her cheek and starts playing with her hair with his fingers. She slitely moves her head and kisses his blonde hair. He giggles and she can't help but chuckle at his innocence. Then, she hears small crys coming from the baby moniter and heads up-stairs where she finds that Phoenix had pulled herself up into a standing position in her crib and was holding onto the bar. "Hey Phoenix. Did you have a nice nap?" She smiles at her as if to say she was happy that she came and reached up with one hand, the other still holding her up on her tiny feet, in a motion asking her grandmother to hold her. Piper sighs and looks at Potter, not sure how to hold two five month old babies in her arms at once, yes she used to be able to hold Parker and Prudence at the same time but it had been years since she had been able to do that.

Piper finally decided to put Potter in his crib so he can contintly play with his toes, as always, and picks Phoenix up. Phoenix smiles and jumps up and down in her arms. Piper smiles at her carefree and innocent infant granddaughter. 'I wonder what happened with Dillon. And more importantly, where Parker went.' When she snaps out of her thoughts, she notices that Phoenix has created some kind of baby-like game by giving her a kiss on the same place on her cheek every couple of seconds. Piper smiles mischeifly and waits for Phoenix to kiss her again before she turns her head slightly to kiss Phoenix on her cheek at the same time of Phoenix putting a kiss on hers. Phoenix giggles and starts sucking on her bottom lip, which is her sign that the little girl is hungry, and looks just looks at Piper for a moment before looking at her little brother and sticking her hand up in the air. Potter disappears in a swirl of purple and white orbs and reappears in the kitchen sitting in his high-chair.

Piper looks at Phoenix, her eyes wide, and realizes that if Phoenix is hungry and she knew that her grandma didn't know how to transport her and her brother both to the kitchen at once that she just simply sent her brother down first. When Piper came from her thoughts again she was standing in the kitchen with Phoenix still in her arms. She smiles and puts Phoenix in her high-chair before going to the pantry to get some baby food out and feeding Phoenix.
