Talks

Leo sighed as he pulled at the collar of his shirt and tried to think of what he should say to his 13 year old son Chris. Piper had pushed him to have this talk with him but he had tried to avoid it. However he'd recently noticed how Chris's friend Yvanne was growing more into a woman and was becoming increasingly concerned since the two spent so much time either in his room or at her Guardian's home in her room. Two young teenagers of opposite sex alone…that definitely caused concern for Leo. The family had known Yvanne for 8 years now. All the Adults knew of her parentage but none of the children knew and they made sure she never saw Magic, made sure she had no reason to suspect there was anything strange about their family. However it was obvious she was growing up and after finding a Playboy magazine under Chris's bed Piper had insisted that Leo have a good talk with him…Today…before Yvanne came over for their nightly hangout time. So there Leo was, pacing back and forth in the living room, trying to think about how to tell Chris about…intimacy, without his son trying to put the moves on Yvanne. He knew Chris and Yvanne weren't meant for each other but that didn't mean they wouldn't experiment with each other. At least that was Pipers reasoning and Leo did tend to agree. Boys didn't seem to know how to control their hormones much.

Suddenly the door opened and Chris and Wyatt ran in and slammed the door shut and tossed their backpacks on the floor. "Chris! I need to talk to you," Leo called as the boy has started to head for the stairs. Chris rolled his eyes as Wyatt smirked at him before heading up the stairs, leaving his younger brother to the clutches of their father. Chris turned around and practically stomped towards the living room, "Dad…I really got stuff to do," he grumbled like a normal teenager

Leo rubbed his chin and pointed to the couch, "Sit, we need to have a Man to Man talk," he said sitting down a chair across from the couch

Chris frowned suspiciously then sat down, not sure he liked where this conversation might be going, "Ok…what do we need to talk about," he asked, feeling very apprehensive

"Well uh…Chris you're 13 now and uh…your mother wanted me to talk to you about some…changes and …" he began pulling at his collar again then stopped when Chris jumped to his feet, "Uh, that's ok Dad, I gotta go," he said in a rush and was about to bolt from the room when his father yelled "Sit Down!". He knew that voice and knew he was in trouble.

"Chris, this is an important thing to discuss, you're becoming a man and I know you're most likely becoming more curious about girls. Y-your mother and I are concerned since you and Yvanne are getting older and spending so much time alone and…"

"Dad, you and Mom are crazy," Chris said with a Horrified look, "Yvanne's like my sister, I mean she and Melinda are interchangeable in my mind, Dad that thought is…just wrong!," he said with a horrified shiver

Leo couldn't help but chuckle a little at that, "Ok, I get it…but the truth is she's not your sister, so that means the two of you could develop feelings that are not normal with brothers and sisters," he said honestly while trying to fight back a smile as he relaxed a bit, feeling like this really wasn't that bad

"No way in hell-heck, I mean she's pretty and all but she's not my type," Chris said vehemently

"Good, Because you're not my type either," Came a feminine voice from the hallway. Both Leo and Chris jumped in shocked and looked at Yvanne who was grinning.

"Yvanne…I didn't mean…I-I mean, you know you are pretty but…" Chris started as Yvanne started laughing. "Chris, chill. You're my BFF and I would never want to sleep with you anyway…that would just be weird and gross," she said seriously. At Chris's hurt look she shook her head, "You're cute Chris, but just like I'm not your type, you're not mine…besides, you're like my brother, that would just be wrong," she said

Chris nodded at that, "That's exactly what I was telling Dad…Do you have the music," he asked, ready to go do what they had planned

"Wait…Chris, I'm not done talking with you," Leo said, feeling out of sorts again

"Dad, just tell Mom you talked to me and lets drop it," Chris said, feeling exasperated, there was no way he wanted to finish this conversation since Yvanne was there now.

"Alright, Alright, Go," Leo said sighing, knowing he wouldn't be able to talk anymore to Chris while Yvanne was there. He saw them race up the stairs and shook his head with a smile of relief, glad the 'Talk' was over.
