DarkPriestess66: I've decided to skip, A wrong's journey into Right, because I really didn't like that episode, so this is just a chapter out of my own mind. I don't own River lullaby belongs to Amy Grant, and the Prince of Epypt soundtrack,
Cedric held his breathe as he wondered when he proposed to Alexis, they were to be wedded next year if what Lynx said was true, so he was thinking of proposing about marriage to her, "Where's Lynx when I need her?"
Just like magic, pun intended Lynx walked into the living room of Cedric's house, "Hey ya, Dad."
Cedric nearly drop dead in surprise,
"You were just asking for me weren't you?" Lynx asks, as she sat down on the sofa, "So what did you want?"
"Your knowledge of the future" Cedric replies
"You know I can't tell you anything that will change it." Lynx replies,
"But I just want to know when I asked your mother to marry me?" Cedric replies, "I'm not asking for lottery numbers or what stocks in the Wizarding World to invest in."
"Oh that's it?" Lynx replies, "It's whenever you get your nerves together, but I highly suggest that you don't wait for the middle of a battle to ask,"
"Ask what?" Alexis' voice asks from the front foyer
"Asking me when my birth date is...what's up?" Lynx lies,
"You're lying, and your cousin is looking for you, the older one." Alexis replies,
"Got to go, see ya later Dad," Lynx replies, "Better go see what theories, Chris has cooked up this time,"
Alexis watched her aloof daughter leave, before turning to Cedric, "Ask what?"
"Foryoutomarryme," Cedric states in one breathe,
"Pardon, but could you repeat that but slower and with spaces in between the words," Alexis states,
Cedric took a breathe and released it, "I said For you to marry me,"
Alexis gasped, "Well shouldn't you ask me instead of someone not even born yet?"
Cedric smiled, "Will you marry me?"
"Ask my sisters first," Alexis replies with mischief glowing in her ice-blue eyes,
"What? your sisters will kill me!" Cedric exclaimed as he followed Alexis out the door,
"Well I could always summon Grams, Aunt Lily, Uncle James, and my birth mother and you can ask them as well?" Alexis replies as she held closed the door to the manor,
Small swirl of orbs landed in front of Alexis,
"Wyatt!" Piper's voice exclaimed from upstairs,
Alexis bent over and picked up her nephew, "Wy, I thought we talked about this no orbing unless you're told too,"
Wyatt just grinned at Alexis, and started playing with one of the purple lowlights of Alexis' hair,
"Well I guess it's better then orbing across the street or the ocean," Alexis sighed, as she held Wyatt, "I think He senses when I come home,"
"There he is, I'm trying to get him to lay down for nap but he just orbs out whenever you're near." Piper states coming down the stairs, "Hello, Cedric."
"Hello," Cedric greets back nervous but he would have to wait until all three older sisters were home,
"I'll do it," Alexis states, "I bet you that I get him to sleep,"
"I like to see that happen," Piper replies
Alexis smirks and heads up the stairs to Wyatt's nursery,
In Wyatt's nursery, Alexis walked over to Wyatt's crib where he was still sleeping until he gets a toddler bed, She put him in and let down the bars where she knelt down and held Wyatt's little hand and started singing softly,
"Hush now, my baby
Be still love, don't cry
Sleep like you're rocked by the stream
Sleep and remember
My lullaby
And I'll be with you when you dream
Drift on a river
That flows through my arms
Drift as I'm singing to you
I see you smiling
So peaceful and calm
And holding you, I'm smiling, too
Here in my arms
Safe from all harm
Holding you, I'm smiling, too
Hush now, my baby
Be still, love, don't cry
Sleep like you're rocked by the stream
Sleep and remember this river lullaby
And I'll be with you when you dream
Here in my arms
Safe from all harm
Holding you, I'm smiling, too
Sleep and remember this river lullaby
And I'll be with you when you dream
Sleep and remember this river lullaby
And I'll be with you when you dream
I'll be with you when you dream,"
Alexis finished singing as Wyatt was sleeping, never knowing that the baby moniter was on and Piper, Cedric, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Lynx were listening to her singing, Lynx was finding it hard not to start crying that was the same song that Alexis used to sing to her and her brother every night before they felt asleep.
Alexis rised the bars back up and tiptoed out of the room, and looked to find Chris standing there leaning against the wall. "What?"
"Never stop." Chris replies,
"Again I'll ask what?" Alexis asks,
"Never stop singing that song, you have no idea how much it means to us." Chris replies
Alexis stared into Chris' green eyes and saw the little boy he was staring back out of them before he disappeared and was replaced by the neurotic Chris. "Promise,"
Chris then turned and left,
Alexis stared after him, wondering what he wasn't telling her.
She walked down the stairs, still thinking about what Chris said. Soon Phoebe and Paige came home from work, and Cedric asked them for Alexis' hand.
"No," Piper and Phoebe states together
Paige looked at Alexis as she was about to let her temper go, "I don't see why you're disagreeing, I can tell they are in love,"
"She's too young to be even thinking about marriage," Piper states
Alexis tilted her head to the side, "Would you rather have me marry a mortal and end up being like our mom,"
Piper glared at her sister, and didn't have a reply to that.
Alexis then turned to Phoebe, "Or should I shack up with a demon like you did?"
Phoebe's eyes widen as she was reminded of her past, "That's different,"
"I don't see how, I don't want to marry a mortal, when I can't talk to him about a part of my life that will always be with me," Alexis replies, "With Cedric, he knows what it's like being magical."
Lynx coughed, "I'm living proof you three agree to let them get married,"
"Butt out Lynx," the Charmed Ones states,
"You're only sixteen," Piper replies,
"Seventeen in few weeks," Alexis replies, "How about this then, if you agree we'll wait until I'm eighteen so it's legal in the mortal world?"
"I'm willing to wait that long," Cedric states,
Piper, Phoebe and Paige looked at each other,
"Fine," Piper states, "But on one condition,"
"That is what?" Cedric asks, feeling relieved that they agreed but scared of what the condition could be
"That you agree to be handfasted in the Wiccan tradition," Piper answers,
Alexis started laughing so hard she was starting to hyperventilate,
Cedric stared at Alexis "What is so funny?"
Alexis got over her laughing fit and started to breathe again, "You don't have a choice in that, my dream wedding is being handfasted,"
"Dad, here's a line that will save your life and reduce back problems from sleeping on the couch," Lynx states as she was trying her best not to smile,
"That is what?" Cedric asks,
"Yes, dear, whatever you say dear," Lynx replies,
Alexis looked over Lynx "Where did you learn that?"
"Someone used to say it to me all the time," Lynx answers before turning and walking away
