OMG! chapter 50, I can't believe I've got to here! Well, I'll let you know now that I think this story is going to come to and end soon. I'm not 100 sure, but I know I'm only going to take it to when they graduate, which isn't too far away. However, I have decided that this is going to be part of a triology, so there will be another story coming up soon after this, so please don't be too upset.
Anyway, thank you to everybody who reviewed the last chapter. This chapter is back to the normal lengths, so enjoy :D
Boarding School Hell
"Tell me again, why's your dad picking us up?" Chris looked to Wyatt, as they packed their bags.
"Because Patty isn't coming home yet," Wyatt sighed, he was really nervous now about going home. He was going to see his baby girl for the first time. The Halliwell had been walking on air for the past four days, even though nobody in the school new why, except Chris and his friends, nothing could get him down. However, now that he was going home, he was getting nervous, even though he did not know why. Maybe it was the fact that he was going to have to face Caitlin, or maybe it had something to do with having to face her parents. Yeah, that was it, having to face Caitlin's parents, and the fact that his own baby girl was still in an incubator since he had been so premature, "She said something about staying at college with Luke for a few days before coming home."
"So we can't get up to anything now then?" Chris smirked, as he thought about what happened when they were getting ready to go home at Christmas.
"No," Wyatt's eyes widened, the thought of his dad walking in on him was not good, "I am not having…no, we're not doing anything."
"I'm having a laugh," Chris laughed, shaking his head slightly, "Calm down will you."
Interrupting them was a knock at the door. Leo still had half an hour until he said he was going to be here, so he wondered who it would be.
"It's open!" the Halliwell shouted at the door, while he still packed his bag.
"Hey dudes, I'm off," Speedy's voice came from the door. The two teens turned around to see the 17-year-old with his mom behind him, "Have fun, don't do anything I wouldn't do…" as the two lovers said goodbye to their friend, Speedy looked at Wyatt, "Oh and take some photos of your little girl, I wanna see her."
"I will do, man." Wyatt nodded his head, he had every intention of bring some photos back to show the group, after all they had all asked him about her since he told them about the birth.
As Speedy left the room, the Halliwell could see Chris watching him.
"What?" Just shaking his head, Chris went back to packing, "Chris?"
"Nothing," he answered with a smile on his face, "It's just…I don't know, really sweet how before you were dreading the fact that Caitlin was pregnant but now you have a little girl you've been walking on air with this goofy smile on your face."
Wyatt thought for a moment at what Chris was saying and then smiled.
"I suppose I have, haven't I?" he said pulling Chris to him and wrapping his arms around his waist, "This won't change how much I love you, you know."
"I know," the brunette 18-year-old nodded with a smile, "I never thought it would."
"Alright, break it up you two." Leo's voice came from the doorway, which conveniently Speedy had forgotten to close behind him.
"Hey, dad!" Wyatt moved to his step-father and hugged him, "You're early."
"Not that early," Leo pointed out, "There was no traffic on the highway for once. You two ready to go?"
As the teens nodded, Leo lead the way to the car, stopping momentarily so that the boys could say goodbye to their friends. Making their way to the car, once they were out of earshot of some of the other people at the school, the topic of the new born baby girl in the hospital came up.
"How is she?" Wyatt asked, eager to hear what Leo had to say in his professional opinion.
"She's going to be fine, Wyatt," Leo smiled, driving off the school grounds and making his way to the highway, "She's a little small, but she's 7-weeks premature so that's expected. She's still in an incubator and will probably be for the next six weeks or so, but don't worry about her."
"Do I ask how Caitlin is?"
"She's out of hospital now," the 56-year-old step-father nodded, "She's coming over tomorrow, with her parents, for dinner. We need you and Chris there."
"Why?" Wyatt asked, "I mean, why Chris?"
"Because it's involving the baby," Leo sighed, looking in the rear view mirror to see Chris seemed to be wondering the same thing as Wyatt, "And if you two want to raise it together, you both need to be there."
"Can I see my daughter?"
"I'll take you straight there if you want," Leo smiled, glancing over to his step-son and then back at the road, "You can't hold her but you can see her at least. She looks a lot like you were when you were a baby. There are these big blue eyes and this mop of dark-blonde hair…"
"Mom said the other night." Wyatt spoke, almost talking to himself as he thought about it with a proud smile.
Nothing more was said about the baby for the rest of the car journey, all Wyatt could think about was that he was now a father and as long as the baby was going to be fine and healthy, he was happy. For now, that was all that mattered.
"Dr Wyatt, I didn't think you were in today." A young brunette nurse said as Leo lead his son and his son's boyfriend through the hospital to the maternity ward so they could see the new born.
"I'm not meant to be," Leo winked at the girl, who could not have been any older than 20, she had to have been on some sort of course there, "I'm just bringing my son to see his daughter."
"Oh right," the nurse nodded, as she got on with whatever she was doing, "Congratulations by the way." She was looking at Wyatt but he never realised, he was just so excited about seeing his daughter. However, Chris had realised and just rolled his eyes towards his lover and smiled at the girl.
"If he was paying any attention, he'd say thanks." The Perry smiled as the nurse seemed to blush that he was talking to her. She hurried away to get back to work, as Chris shook his head and followed his blonde haired lover down the hallway to the wing of the hospital that was looking after the new born girl.
"Which one is she?" Wyatt asked, almost like he was a child in a candy shop, his eyes wide in awe at the babies all in their cots.
"She's not in there, follow me." Leo stated and then lead his step-son through some doors into a room. There were incubators in the room, which made Wyatt worry, with all this machinery was his daughter really ok? But as soon as he saw her he knew that his little baby girl was going to be just fine.
Leo watched as his step-son's smile grew as Wyatt watched the small baby awaken from a sleep.
"Aww, Chris, look at her," Wyatt whispered, bouncing up and down on the balls of his feet and pulling Chris closer, "She's so cute."
"Not only that, Wy," Chris whispered with a laugh, seeing Wyatt's daughter stretch out. She was tiny, about the length from your wrist to your elbow, and Piper was right her big blue eyes were identical to Wyatt's, "She's gorgeous."
All Wyatt wanted to do was pick her up and hold her, but that was not going to be possible, not for a while, but he knew as soon as he got a chance he would do, there would be no stopping him.
"We should go back home now," Leo whispered, "Your mother asked me to bring you straight home."
"Ok," Wyatt nodded, putting his hand on the side of the incubator, wishing he could just touch her, "She's definitely going to be ok, right?"
"She's fine, Wyatt," Leo nodded, "I wouldn't lie to you about it."
"Chris!" was the immediate greeting the two boys got as they walked in the door, "I missed you so much."
"Really?" the Perry smiled as he picked up the eight-year-old that had ran over to him, "Well, don't tell anyone but I missed you too."
Hope wrapped her arms around the 18-year-old's neck, while her legs wrapped around his waist as much as they could, and she hugged him tight.
"Hey! Don't I get a hug?" Wyatt asked with mock offence at his youngest cousin, he had to smile though seeing how she was around Chris, it made him wonder what she would have been like if he and Chris had split up the other month and Chris had gone to someone else's house for the vacation.
Hope looked at Wyatt and shook her head with a slight pout, putting her head back on Chris' shoulder. It looked like Chris was carrying her around for a while until he could convince her to go somewhere and play.
"Piper?" Leo shouted from the door, he was the last to come in after locking the car up. He put the keys on the table by the alcove in the hallway, just as his wife walked out of the kitchen with her youngest sister in tow.
"Hi Leo," Piper smiled but walked to her eldest son and hugged him tight, "Hi sweetie, how are you?"
"Great mom," Wyatt nodded, "But I would like some air," as Piper pulled away from the 6' 4'' male, he looked at her with a smile, "What's with you giving me a hug like that for, anyway? That's Aunt Phoebe and Paige's job."
"Yes it is." Paige seemed to playfully push her older sister out of the way to get to her nephew and hug him hard.
"Hi Aunt Paige."
"Hi dude," she smiled making Wyatt laugh, he loved Paige so much when she tried to act 'cool', "Don't mind your mother, she couldn't wait for you to get home so you can see your daughter. Speaking of daughter's mines around somewhere."
In all the commotion, Paige had missed the fact that Chris was holding her eight-year-old.
"She's with Chris." Wyatt laughed as Paige turned to see the 18-year-old brunette holding onto her youngest child.
"She's found you then."
While Chris just smiled, Piper questioned Leo, wondering why it had taken them a little long to get back.
"We made a little stop at the hospital." Leo admitted, knowing his wife would not mind. After all, Wyatt had a right to see his child, did he not? Piper just simply nodded her head with a soft smile on her lips. As much as she had shouted at her eldest boy for getting Caitlin pregnant, she was so excited for her son when she found out Caitlin had gone into labour, especially when she found out the baby was a girl. Nobody had told her what the baby was going to be, and in fact, Wyatt had not known either, for some reason Caitlin had never said.
"You two are going to have your hands full with her," Piper smiled as she made her way back to the kitchen, "I'm just making some cookies by the way."
Wyatt ignored her first comment and picked up on cookies. Like a school boy, which in fairness he was, the Halliwell ran behind his mom and followed her into the kitchen to get to the cookies. He had to admit that his mother's cookies were the best in all of San Francisco, and she was proud of that fact.
Chris watched, while laughing, as his lover jumped behind Piper for the cookies and then looked at Paige who was also laughing.
"He'll never grow up," she shook her head and turned her attention to Chris, "How are you, by the way? I see somebody beat everybody to hello."
"I'm fine, Paige," Chris smiled, "And, yeah, this one was right at the door as we walked in. I wonder how she knew it was going to be us." The youngest sister smiled at Chris' roll of the eyes and then made her way into the kitchen, followed very closely by Chris and Leo.
"Paige, can you take Hope into the kitchen, I just want a word with Chris."
"Sure, Leo," Paige smiled and took her daughter, "I'll let Piper and Wyatt know."
Once Paige was in the kitchen, Leo motioned his head towards the couch in the sitting area.
"What is it, Leo?"
"I just want to find out something," Leo sighed, "Before anything is said last night."
Uh oh, Chris thought to himself, Had something got back to Leo about Bianca? About the cheating, or even about hitting her. Play it cool, and don't admit to anything unless he asks you about it.
"It's nothing too serious, Chris, you don't need to panic," the step-father smiled warmly, "I just want to know if your intentions on raising the baby with Wyatt are still there."
"Yeah, they're still there Leo," Chris nodded his head, "We've been talking about it while at school. Why?"
"Well, don't tell Wyatt yet but that's what tomorrow's dinner is about," Leo sighed, "About you two raising the child. I know Caitlin's found out and wasn't happy about it, Parker told us, so we thought we would talk to them about it. After all, you and Wyatt make a strong point for it, but I wanted to make sure you were 100 sure about it. I've been in that position, and still am, raising two boys who aren't mine."
"I know," Chris nodded his head, "But this little girl is Wyatt's and its not her fault she's been born into all this. I love Wyatt, Leo, and I'll stand by him no matter what."
Smiling warmly, Leo patted Chris on the back.
"I'm glad to hear to say that," Leo stated, "And if you need any advice on this you can come to me. I know what situation you're in."
"Thanks Leo."
"So, Parker told you Caitlin found out." Wyatt rolled his eyes as he ate a cookie from the plate that was in front of him, between him and his mom.
"He told me," Piper nodded, "It wasn't his fault. From what Caitlin was saying, apparently, he thought she already knew and just said, 'well I'm glad you see sense in my brother raising the child' or something like that anyway. He can tell you the full story."
"Caitlin called me about it," Wyatt sighed, "Shouting at me that I was trying to run away with the baby. I'm not mom, I mean, we're staying in San Francisco, not very far to run is there?"
"I know sweetie, don't worry about it," the 55-year-old smiled softly, just as Paige walked into the room with Hope, "It will get sorted out soon, I know it." Wyatt did not seem to believe her as Paige sat at the table and took one of her sister's cookies, followed by Hope.
"Leo and Chris will be in soon."
Piper knew her husband wanted to talk to Chris, and knew exactly what it was about, so just nodded her head.
"How come you were at the hospital then?" Wyatt asked his mother, it suddenly hitting him to question why someone had called her.
"Caitlin was with your brother at school when she went into labour," Piper explained, "And he called me, he stayed with her while she got to the hospital, looking after her." Wyatt looked at his mother worried.
"He's not…"
"Oh no, sweetie," Piper shook her head, "There's nothing between them. Parker had basketball and Caitlin was watching the cheerleading or something. I don't know, anyway Parker found out Caitlin had gone into labour and got straight to her with it being your baby. He wanted to make sure his niece was ok."
Doubtfully, Wyatt nodded his head just as Leo and Chris walked through the door.
"Anyway, he called me and I got there actually before her parents did."
Wyatt nodded his head as Chris sat down next to him, placing a hand on his thigh.
"Everything ok?" the Perry asked, seeing a look of what seemed to be worry in the Halliwell's eye. Looking up, Wyatt put on a smile and nodded, but even though it was fooling everybody else, it did not fool Chris, who made a mental note to talk to him a little later.
"Oh sweetie, do you want to go out for dinner tonight to celebrate your daughter's birth?" Piper asked, suddenly remembering what she was going to ask her eldest, "You know, you and Cait need to think of a name."
Laughing, Wyatt nodded his head, "Yeah, we'll do whatever. Where are Parker and Matthew anyway?"
"Parker's playing basketball with Jackson, or was anyway," Piper replied, "And Matthew is with Henry and little Henry."
"Why?"
"Henry, was taking Junior to the fair that's in town," Paige pointed out, "And he wanted Matthew to come along."
Chris sat back in his chair as Piper and Paige continued with the cousins' whereabout.
"The twins are out shopping, Holly wanted to get a new dress for tonight…"
"Tonight?" Wyatt questioned.
"The restaurant." Piper smiled, seeing a shake of the head from Wyatt, so she had already decided what they were going to do tonight.
"Patty's not coming home for another week," Piper added to her youngest sister's list of where everybody were, "Peyton, I think is with Parker and Jackson, and possibly Charlie. I don't know where Phoenix is, I never ask."
"It's best not to," Leo laughed, "Coop can never keep track of her. And since her 14th birthday she's all over the place."
"Watch it when you daughter's 14," Piper smiled, "You're gonna have that fun. I'm glad I had boys."
"See, I haven't had this problem with Hannah or Holly," Paige pointed out, "And I hope not to with Hope."
"What about Pagan?" Wyatt asked about Phoebe's youngest child.
"Out somewhere with Phoebe." Piper rolled her eyes.
"Do I ask about Riley?" Chris spoke up, the only person in the family not mention. Wyatt looked at Chris, trust him to bring up his eldest male cousin, who turned out to be Chris' ex.
"Actually," Piper smiled, she was about to surprise her eldest boy, "He's still at home with Prue. He had a little relapse, but only for a couple of weeks when he got himself into some trouble, but he pulled himself out of it and Prue says he's been clean for almost five weeks now."
"Wow!" Wyatt's eyebrows raised, "That's a long time for him. Usually this only lasts about three days, until he gets bored of Uncle Andy having goes at him."
"Andy's had to bite his tongue a bit," Piper nodded to her son, "But everything's calming down."
The sound of a cell phone was heard around the room. Chris looked straight at Wyatt, thinking it was his, but for once it was not.
"Ooo, it's mine, sorry." Paige said, running out of the room to answer her call while Hope went over to sit with her favourite person.
"I'm impressed," Chris laughed at his lover, "You've been back home for over ten minutes and she hasn't called you yet."
"Don't speak too soon."
Wyatt and Chris laid in the bed that night, both staring up at the ceiling. It felt so good to be back in a double bed, with the room to stretch out.
While Wyatt looked at the ceiling, he felt the bed move and looked over to see Chris now laid on his side, facing him with his head propped up on his arm.
"What's that look for?"
"What look?" Chris asked, a small smile on his lips. Wyatt sighed and rolled over, mimicking Chris' position.
"The smile." He put his free arm onto Chris' waist and caressed it slightly.
"I'm just smiling at how content you looked." The Perry replied, his free hand now at Wyatt's face, and he gently rubbed his lover's lips. Wyatt closed his eyes at the feeling, and kissed Chris' thumb. The brunette leaned forward and gently kissed the soft lips of the blonde, slowly pushing him onto his back as his tongue took dominance, searching inside his lover's mouth, taking his claimed territory.
The Halliwell moaned into Chris' mouth, pulling his lover closer to him, his arm now on Chris' lower back, stroking softly.
"Hmm…Chris, I can't, not now…" Wyatt spoke in a whisper, looking into Chris' glistening green eyes, "Not after…"
"It's ok," Chris nodded, "I can't either. I just wanted to kiss you, that's all."
The Perry moved his head so it was resting on Wyatt's chest, and felt the blonde's muscular arms wrap around him.
"Hey, Chris," Wyatt started a conversation, whilst he looked back up at the ceiling, "You know if Caitlin does agree to us raising the child."
"Yeah."
"Well, what are we gonna do for the next four months?" neither of them had thought about this, surprisingly, "I mean, we're still in school and I don't think we'd get away with having a baby there. And Caitlin said to me she was going to put her into a foster home…"
Knowing that there was going to be a talk about it tomorrow night, Chris looked into Wyatt's captivating ocean eyes and smiled, "Don't worry about it. Something will be sorted."
"But what if we lose her."
"I'll tell you something now," Chris pointed out, "There is no way I'm letting Caitlin put your daughter into a foster home. It's you and me, Wy, we're going to look after her so we'll think of something for the next four months."
The blonde 18-year-old smiled at Chris' words.
"You're amazing and I love you, you know that."
Chris just laughed and kissed Wyatt, "I never get tired of hearing you say that."
"What?"
"I love you."
With that, Chris put his head back on his lover's chest and they both drifted off into sleep, with hopes that everything was going to turn out just fine.
ok, mainly just a little filler chapter. There will be some drama in the next chapter with Caitlin's parents coming over and the big talk, I wonder if they're going to agree with Wyatt and Chris over who raises the baby? And just who will have the child for the next four months until Wyatt and Chris finish school?
Anyway, just leave a little review of what you thought about this chapter and I hopefully won't be too long with the next one.
