Piper shouted, " This wedding has to be perfect!" "Mom..." Melinda said, but it was no use. The Wedding was a day away and everyone was expected not only to show up, but to know everything. Piper had threatened to blow up more than one relative already. "No! Not those, the other ones, LEO!" Piper nagged. "Pahras, get her to stop." Melinda begged. "What?" I asked. I had zoned out, which had been happening a lot lately. "Are you okay?" Melinda asked. "Yeah, I'm just a little tired. Between demons, Wyatt, and the Bay Mirror, things are a little hectic." I said, yawning. "Wyatt, huh? Like a jackhammer?" Melinda chuckled. "Actually, yeah." I said quickly, " he's on this new thing where we have sex every moment of the day. In my office...in his...in yours." "My office?" Melinda asked. I ignored her, " And it's great, but I'm really tired." I said. "Have you been sick?" Melinda asked. "Sick?" I asked, trying to think up something to say. "Yeah." she asked, watching Piper nag her father. "Then, yeah." I nodded. "Maybe you're preg.." Melinda started. "No. No. No." I said angrily. "Have you been wearing condoms?" Melinda chirped. "I'm a guy." I said. "Yeah, but you're a magical guy. And you know you have kids in the future..." Melinda smirked, " You're pregnant!" "No!" I whispered, " I am not." "I think you are. You should tell Wyatt." Melinda said giddily. "Tell Wyatt what?" Paige asked, walking up to us with Phoebe. Both of them carried lovely bouquets of flowers. "That he's pregnant." Melinda blurted. "I am not pregnant!" I shouted, causing Piper, Leo, Phoebe, Paige, and the helpers to stare at me. "You're pregnant?!" Piper asked, walking to us. "NOOO!" I said. "He might be." Melinda said. "I'm gonna have a grandchild?" Leo smiled. "No...well, yeah, but not right now! I'm just getting used to being the househusband without the whole marriage thing. And work is kicking my ass and..." I mumbled quickly. "Only one way to prove it." Melinda said, holding out her hand and a pregnancy test appear, " Test yourself." "Oh my gosh! Personal Gain!" I said snatching it from her. As I did, Wyatt and Chris hauled a large Wedding Arch into the house and stopped at us. Wyatt smiled and kissed me, " I gotta go." I said, leaving with the test. "What's with him?" Wyatt asked. "He thinks he's pr..." Melinda began, but Piper clapped her hand over Melinda's mouth. "He thinks he's prepared for a promotion at work and he's trying to write down ideas." Phoebe blurted. "Okay..." Wyatt said confusedly. "Plus, he's sick." Paige added. "Maybe I should go and see if he's okay." Wyatt said with concern. "NO!" They all shouted. "Okay, what's really going on?" They all looked at each other. "I'm not touching this one." Paige said, walking away. "Me either." Phoebe said, leaving with her. Wyatt looked at his mother, father, and little sister, " Are you guys going to tell me?" he asked. "Wyatt, we don't have time. Ask him yourself." Piper said, hurrying away with Melinda. Wyatt looked at Leo, who shook his head, " Come on, dad." he pleaded. "No. This is between you and him." Leo smirked, trying to hide his happiness, and he walked away. - - - - - - - - - - I sat in the bathroom, waiting on the results. There was a knock at the door and I jumped, trying to hide the test somewhere safe. I threw it under the sink and opened the door to see Leo. "Hey Leo." I said quickly. "Hey, are you okay?" Leo asked, walking into the bathroom. I shut the door, " I will be when this test comes out negative." I smiled. Leo chuckled, " Nervous?" he asked. "No. Seriously scared." I said. "Why are you so scared to have his baby?" Leo asked. "First, there is no baby, second, there is no baby and last, I'm twenty five. I'm not old enough to have a baby." I said. "Having a baby is not the end of the world, it opens new doors." Leo said. "Monsters hide behind doors." I said quickly, " It's not our time." "How do you know?" Leo asked. "Me and Wyatt aren't even married." I said, " Not that it'd be bad to have a baby without...I just...am not ready. Leo, I haven't had the best relationship with my parents and I don't want to take the chance to have a relationship like that with my kids." "You won't. You are not your parents." Leo said, comforting me. "I think I am. I know I am." I said quickly, " What if me and Wyatt doesn't work?" "What do you mean? You're scared that you're going to hurt Wyatt?" Leo asked. "Yes. I mean, what if Wyatt hurts me? What if..." I asked. "Then you're human. Everyone makes mistakes." Leo sighed. "I don't want me and Wyatt to be a mistake." I said, looking in the mirror, " I want us to be...you and Piper." "You can't be Piper and I, all you can be is you." Leo said softly. "I know. But what if I screw up some kid's life? What if I screw up my husband's life? What if I run away again?" I asked. "What?" Leo asked, " You planning on running away soon?" "No, but there's this thing..." I said. "What thing?" Leo asked. "Was it a shock?" I asked, causing Leo to look at me, " When you found out that Wyatt and I were gonna be..Cause it was a shock to me and I..." "A little, but I love Wyatt no matter what." Leo smiled warmly. "And this is a 'no matter what', huh?" I asked. "That's not how I meant it." Leo sighed, " It being you makes it better." "Thanks, Leo." I smirked. "No problem. In the last few years, we haven't gotten to talk nearly as much as I'd have liked. I want to tell you that I'm proud of you." Leo said carefully. I smiled and hugged him, " Thanks, Leo. You have no idea what that means to me." I said, releasing him, " Would this pregnancy test really work?" "I don't know." Leo said, taking the box, " It should, but with the circumstances, who knows." "Oh god, Leo, you should be out there with your daughter. She's getting married." I said nervously, " She needs you." "she does, but so do you and you're like a son to me." Leo smiled. "Thanks. I really needed this." I said, opening the door, " Now shoo, I need to pee." Leo smiled and left the bathroom. - - - - - - - - - - Bianca and Melinda, along with the Halliwell girls, stood, watching Melinda, who wore a beautiful white and gold dress with a long trail. The dress was embroidered with golden bits and it was a beautifully designed off the shoulder gown. "You look so beautiful." Bianca said, getting agreement from the other girls, " Ted may not wait." "It is your wedding night." Prudence, Phoebe's oldest, said. "Yup." Melinda smiled, not taking her eyes off her reflection, " It is a brilliant dress." There was a knock on the door and then it opened and the Sisters walked in. Piper was still picking at things, while Paige and Phobe seemed calm. Phoebe seemed to be feeding off the excitement of the day. "Oh my gosh, you're beautiful!" Phoebe gushed, hugging her. "You are, kid, you're a real looker." Paige said, adjusting Melinda's hair a little. "My baby." Piper cried, throwing herself on Melinda, " Sorry, sweetie, it's just...my baby!" she cried, hugging her tighter. "Piper?" I asked, walking into the room, " My, how age has changed you." "Watch your mouth, Pahras." Piper chuckled, " And I haven't changed, I'm still kick ass!" "Yeah, us too!" Paige said quickly. "Right." I smiled, looking to Melinda, " Mel! You look b...g...I'm speechless." "How'd the pee stick turn out?" Melinda asked. "What?" Prue asked. "MEL!" I said angrily. "Are you pregnant or not?" Melinda asked. The room was flooded with gasps. "Who's pregnant?" Billie asked behind me. "Billie!" I shouted, hugging her. I soon found out that that was a mistake, as I fould myself between Billie and the entire group of Halliwell women! "It's so good to see you guys again!" Billie smiled, " Now who's pregnant?" "I'm not pregnant!" I said angrily. "What'd the stick say?" Paige asked impatiently. "You're pregnant?" Prue asked. "No, you guys..." I said. "What did the frikkin stick say!?" Piper asked. "It didn't say anything, it takes five minutes. It's only been ( I looked at my watch) two and a half minutes." I explained. "Whose baby is it?" Billie asked. "Wyatt's." Piper answered. "I am not pregnant." I shouted. "So, you are pregnant." Wyatt's voice came from the hall. I felt my anger explode inside me and a lamp blew off the stand, " I am NOT pregnant!" I said, quickly storming out of the room. Wyatt orbed in front of me, "so, are we going to be parents?" he asked. "What?" I asked, " I don't know." "What's wrong, baby?" he asked, " Your hormones out of whack?" "Wyatt, I think I'm going to blow you up." I said calmly, " I'm not pregnant, we are not pregnant. In the future, we were married before we were pregnant." "The future changes." Wyatt said, " The future changed just now. And now." "But..." "Do you not want to do this?" Wyatt asked. "I do, I just..." "Then start acting like it." Wyatt growled, orbing away. "Dammit! Wyatt!" I shouted into the air, " It's not that simple." I said to myself. "So, you are pregnant?" Talik asked, coming up from behind me. "I am...not sure." I sighed. "Then why's everybody saying..." Talik began. "Melinda and her big mouth." I sneered, " I need to find something on her, pronto." "I saw her making out with the best man." Talik said. "I sorta meant embarrassing, not marriage ending." I said, sitting on a crate. "Good, I was lying anyways." he said, sitting beside me. I chuckled softly, " I need to go and check the pregnancy test." I said casually. "I'm on a journey myself. They say there's food." Talik smiled, " Plus, all my sisters are around here somewhere and I'm not quite sure which side is which." "They are back that way." I pointed to the Bride's room, " I need to find Wyatt." "Hurry, the wedding's soon." Talik said, shimmering away. I walked on down the hall and stopped at the sound of Bianca and Chris arguing. "Lately, I don't know, your mind has been somewhere else. I still think there's someone else." Bianca raged. "No, I just...I'm under a lot of pressure with the club and being Charmed." Chris said. "I just want you to tell me stuff. Be my other half." Bianca said sadly. "You are my other half." Chris said, kissing her and pushing her against the wall. "Oh Chris...Chris, not here..." Bianca moaned. "Everywhere." Chris said, munching on her neck. I turned and hightailed it the other way. Not watching where I was going, I walked right into someone standing in the hall, two men. "Sorry, I..." One man turned and threw a fireball at me. I ducked and tried to blast him, but before I could move again, I was hit with a fireball and fell backwards, then Wyatt orbed in and incinerated the demon. He walked over to me and immediately healed me, then placed a hand on my stomach. "I really could have handled it." I grunted. "Nobody messes with my family." he smiled, talking to my stomach. I sighed, " Why not." I said loudly. The Wedding Procession started. "Oh now, the Wedding! And I still haven't found out of I'm pregnant." I said exasperatedly. "Doesn't matter, we can always do a test later." Wyatt said, " Come on, I do not want to miss this." He smiled, kissing me as he walked me in. As we waited for the wedding to start, I couldn't help but feel sad. I wanted that. For the first time, I actually wanted to get married. I might be pregnant. I don't know and that scares me. I watched Melinda and Leo walk down the isle and I smiled, proud that she was taking a giant leap of faith. I squeezed Wyatt's hand as the preacher began. "Isn't she beautiful." Wyatt whispered. "Wyatt." I said quickly. "What is it, baby?" Wyatt asked softly. I looked up into his eyes, " I'm ready." I said, finally. - - - - - - - - - - If you liked it, let me know and I'll start on the next one. Short chapter, just hinting at where the story is going.
