Chapter 38: No Place In The World

I stood in the kitchen, trying to make breakfast, which wasn't going as good as I thought it would. I burned my arm three times, burnt the toast, and made soggy cereal. After the second time, the baby wouldn't heal me anymore. I guess he figured that I was doing it on purpose. I had began to show since the last demon attacked, two weeks ago. My little belly stuck out and Wyatt loved it. Why? I have no idea, but he did. Even Chris seemed thrilled to have his little nephew on the way. He bought little stuffed animals and he and Wyatt had started work on the nursery, which was where Wyatt's room used to be. I mainly ate cookies and wached 'Desperate Housewives'. Things had been so stressful, planning a wedding in less than nine months and all. Bianca had helped a lot and Piper had obsessed while her sisters tried like hell to bring her back to Earth. Leo seemed thrilled, he and Chris were almost tied at buying us baby things. Life was great though, less demon attacks. My family was coming in sometime in the next week. The wedding wasn't until a couple of weeks, so there would be time to catch up. I was still trying to bake when Wyatt came down, reading 'A Guide to Babies'. We smirked at each other.

"You're trying to cook?"

  • We said simultaneously "You're trying to read?"

We both laughed.

"Maybe I'll cook when the baby comes." Wyatt joked.

"Or tonight." I smiled, walking to him, " By the time the baby gets here, I'll be a cooking machine."

"Right." he smiled.

I grabbed the book, " These," I flashed the book, " Never work." I chuckled.

Wyatt grabbed the book, " I'm learning a lot." he chuckled, " Besides, I don't see you doing anything to prepare."

"I'm carrying the baby. I'm sure that comes with parental know-how." I said, taking eggs off the stove, " I did it!" I shouted, " Have eggs."

"I can't leave Chris up there by himself. It's our baby." Wyatt said, eyeing the eggs.

I rolled my eyes, " Duh. Chris!" I yelled.

"Wow...loud." Wyatt said, massaging his ears, " So, we haven't talked about what we're going to do."

"About what?" I asked.

"Where we're going to live..." Wyatt said, not saying something.

I looked athim, " I thought we'd live here." I said, standing at the counter, " We talked about....What's really going on?"

"I... need to know if you're going to want a bigger house or something. Because, I...umm, I'm going to quit my job." Wyatt said nervously.

"Private Practice?" I asked, knowing that wasn't the train of thought.

Wyatt shook his head, " Teaching. At Magic School." he said, eating his eggs.

I crossed my arms, " Really?" I asked.

"We can earn enough money to pay the bills and you have a job too, which you could quit if you want to and we'd be alright and..." Wyatt said, trying to reassure me.

I raised my hand, " I think it's great. Just, really...really unexpected." I sai, " Does that job come with benefits?"

"Yeah, actually." Wyatt smiled, getting up and kissing me, " You're the best husband a guy could ask for."

"I know." I smirked, " Chris!" I shouted.

"You're sure you're cool with this?" Wyatt asked.

"Yeah." I said, " CHRISTOPHER PERRY HALLIWELL!"

Chris orbed in, " sorry, I told you I'd help, but my charge..." he looked at the eggs, " What's going on?"

"I thought you were upstairs?" I asked.

"I was. Then I got called away." Chris said, " What's up?"

"Well, there's eggs." I said, showing him my eggs.

Chris looked at Wyatt, " They're good, I swear." he pointed to his plate, " I had some."

Chris nodded, " Plate." he said, orbing a plate to himself, " Eggs." he said, causing a pile of eggs to appear on his plate.

I chuckled to myself, " Lazy, much." I asked.

"I just saved a charge from a very aggressive demon, I deserve this." he smiled.

"you ever wonder why no higher level demons attack us?" I asked.

"Sloppy writer?" Wyatt chuckled, " No, I think they're waiting for something."

"Comforting." I groaned, thinking. I put my han don my stomach, " Wait...do they want my baby?" I asked, wobbling.

Wyatt rushed to me and wrapped his hand around my waist to hold me up, " They're not getting anything from us, babe." he smiled, " Besides, If he's as powerful as I was, there's really not a chance of demons getting to him."

"Wyatt's right." Chris said, with a mouthful of eggs.

"So, are you and Bianca thinking about her eggs?" I asked.

Chris choked, " HUH?!" he asked.

"Drake." Wyatt warned.

"I mean, doesn't this make you wanna have a baby?" I asked, pointing to my tummy.

Chris smiled and touched my stomach, laughing, " No. It makes me wanna play with your baby." he smiled.

Just then, the door opened and Warren came in with a Mickey Mouse hat on. Wyatt and I laughed, while Chris put his face back into the eggs.

"What?" Warren asked.

I pointed to his hat, " Disney?" I asked.

"Theh girls like it there. It's just a shimmer away." Warren smiled.

"Makes you wanna have kids, huh?" I asked.

"No, makes me wanna play with my sisters." Warren smiled.

"Anybody else feel like acquanting him with Melinda." Chris joked.

"So, what's up?" Wyatt asked.

"Nothing, just thought I'd drop by." he said, looking past me, " You're trying to cook?"

"Yeah. For hours now....wait, what time does Disney open?" I asked, " Wait, time difference, nevermind."

"So, anybody else getting weird dreams?" Warren asked, causing him to look at him.

"Random." Wyatt said.

"What kind of dreams?" I asked.

"Snakes. A demon...Very bad." Warren explained, " He killed us. Most of us. I thought I'd have a look at the B-O-S."

"I hate snakes...." I frowned, causing them to all look at me, " Well...I dislike them...but they're still God's creatures."

"Way to freak, why?" Wyatt asked.

"I just don't." I said, " I used to have this one dream where I as crossing a lake and a very large snake offered me a ride and said he wouldn't bite me, but he did."

They all looked at me.

"They just creep me out. I don't mess with them, so they don't mess with me...I hope." I cringed.

"Well, I have to open the club," Chris said, finishing the plate, " Thanks for the food."

"Did you not hear, he had a preminition!" I shouted.

They all looked at me.

"I'll help." Wyatt said.

"Thenn who's going to do the nursery?" I asked.

"Thanks Wy, maybe we won't die." Warren joked.

"Listen!" i shouted, causing the toaster to explode, " Sorry, I just don't like being ignored."

Wyatt sighed, " Don't worry. I'll handle everything. I'll be Mr. Flexible." he smiled.

"AS much fun as you being Mr. Flexible sounds." I smirked, " What about Magic School?"

"Dad got a sub because he knows we're a little stressed." Wyatt smiled, " Mom's coming by to finalize the China and she said we're going tux shopping tomorrow. Well, you are. I got mine a month ago."

"sorry, I'm lazy." I said.

Wyatt hugged me, " You've got a right to be." he said.

"No, I don't. I'm just a big, fat...fatty. And I'm swollen and I'm crying!" I sobbed into his shoulder.

Wyatt stroked my back, " I think you're still sexy. If we had time, I'd show you how sexy I think you are. And about you crying, you're just upset." he smiled.

I shook my head, " I've become what I hate..." I smiled, wiping tears away.

"You're just a little upset." he said.

I chuckled, " Damn hormones." I smiled.

Just then, Paige orbed in, " Piper's coming!" she said.

"Work." Chris said, orbing away.

"Book Of Shadows." Warren smiled, shimmering away.

"Book of Shadows and Nursery." Wyatt said, orbing away.

"Don't wanna be there." I said, getting ready to orb.

"No!" Paige said, " Sorry, kiddo."


Piper had become very intent on making this the perfect day...for who? I'm not sure, I assumed her. Don't get me wrong, she asked my opinion and stuff, but I wasn't really in charge.

"Did anyone byt me find it hard to juggle emotions?" i asked out of the blue.

The sisters looked at each other and laughed while Bianca looked puzzled.

"What?" I asked.

"The hormones." Piper smirked.

"And the soreness." Phoebe finished, " It's part of the deal."

"Yeah, but mine isn't normal." I said

"All pregnancies are pretty much the same." Phoebe said.

"How's Warren?" I asked.

"Fitting perfectly." Phoebe smiled, " Do you know that he took the girls to Disney Land?"

"Melinda?" I asked.

"She's getting used to being married. You know." Piper smiled, sipping tea.

"Henry and the girls?" I asked.

"Big Henry is great. Henry Jr. is about to get promoted and the girls are really excited about taking a trip to L.A." Paige smiled.

"L.A.?" I asked.

"Oh, didn't I tel you?" paige asked, looking around, " They're going with Henry. He's all proud and stuff because they want to be heroes."

"So, the next generation of whitelighters and another set of Charmed Ones?" I ventured.

"Probably." Paige smiled.

My cell phone rang and I picked it up, " Hello?' i asked. It was Elise. Elise wasn't as young as she used to be, no brainer, but she was still tough and very alert. She asked when I was coming to the office because she had something for me. I told her I would come now.

"Work?" Phoebe asked.

"Yeah, I have to go right now." I I said, " Sorry, Piper."

"It's okay, sweetie, just be careful." Piper said.

"I'll go, I have some work to do." Phoebe smirked.

"Okay." I said, " Later, ladies." I said, leaving with Phoebe.


Warrne and Wyatt stood by the book. Wyatt was tired now. They had been through all kinds of demons and hadn't even scratched the surface of the book.

"Are you sure it was a snake demon?" Wyatt asked.

Warren sighed, " Yes!" he exclaimed, " A snake demon! Fangs and all. Digestive things."

"How far did this vision go?" Wyatt asked.

"Far." he said.

"Maybe it was just a nightmare." Wyatt suggested.

"No, I've had nightmares, but this wasn't one. Nightmares aren't that real." Warren said, turning to the book's pages. He stopped but the pages continued, " There!" he said quickly, " That's him!"

"Surupene?" Wyatt asked, " What kind of name is that?"

"High Level, venom spitting, ferocious demon. Claws, talons." Warren read.

"So, he's real?" Wyatt asked, joining him once again.

Warren grinned triuphantly, " See, there's a potion."

"Yeah, we've got the ingredients." Wyatt said, writing down the ingredients and walking away.

As Wyatt got to the door, the demon shimmered in behind him, " Wyatt!" Warren shouted.

Wyatt turned in time to orb in and out in the same place! Warren rushed to the book and stopped when the demon turned to him. The demon spit green venom out of its mouth and Warren dodged it! Wyatt appeared again and waved his hand, causing the demon to fly across the room and shimmer out!

Wyatt helped Warren up and they looked at the venom on the floor.

"Who's cleaning that up?" Waren asked.

"Not me." Wyatt said, " Let the object of objection become but a dream as I cause the scene to be unseen." The mess instantly disappeared.

"What's going on?" Piper asked, followed by Paige.

"I don't know, but we're going to need the Power of Three." Wyatt said, " Chris!"

Chris orbed in, " What? What's wrong...what happened to the baby?" he asked, wearing only boxers.

"Chris' clothes." Paige said, shoving her hand towards chris. His clothes appeared on him, " We're not even gonna ask."

"Thank you." Chris panted, " What's up?"

"We have a demon." Wyatt said.

"The demon from before?" Chris asked.

"Where's Drake?" chris asked.

"At work." Wyatt said.

"Don't we need him?" Chris asked.

"No, I think Warren'll work, he's got Charmed blood." Wyatt said, " We're going to make this potion and then we're going after him."

"Right...so, do you need me now?" Chris asked.

"COME ON." Wyatt said, pulling him out of the room.


As Phoebe and I walked into the Bay Mirror, I stopped. All the lights were out and they snapped on quickly, scaring me. There was a party! I smiled, looking at Phoebe, who beamed at me. Elise walked up, holding a cup.

"Congratulations!" she said, " You're getting married!"

"Yup, I'm really glad it's legal now." I chuckled.

Elise looked me over, " Are you getting bigger?" she asked.

Phoebe chuckled, " He's just happier." she smiled, " So, there's cake, right?"

"Of couse." Elise smiled, " we just wanted to throw you a party, we thought that your husband would have driven you, so he could be here."

"No, he's in transition mode. He's going from being single to husband, doctor to teacher." I smirked, " Add that to creating a wedding and building a nursery..." I paused.

"You're adopting? So soon?" she asked.

"Well, we've been together so long and...it's the next logical step." I smiled.

"I wouldn't have pegged you as the 'Dad' type..." Elise said, gaining a grimace from me, " Yet." she added, " I just mean, you always said it'd be a long way off."

"I know but things change." I smiled.

"I just didn't know they'd change so fast." Elise said.

"You and me both." I smiled. Suddenly, I felt a little dizzy! Apparently, Phoebe saw this and whisked me away to her office and I threw up in her trashcan, " Something doesn't feel right! Phoebe, we need to get to Eva."

"Okay, you want me to call Wyatt?" Phoebe asked, a little shaken.

"I...I..." I said, falling to the floor.


Wyatt shoved Christ to the ground and jumped out of the way of an oncoming energy ball! Warren stood a few yards away, blasting demons with his own energy balls! Their invasion of the demon's hideout had gone off without a hitch! As Wyatt threw the last potion, causing the demon to burst into flames, Chris and Warren walked to his side.

"That was fun." Warren chuckled.

Wyatt sighed, " Drake was supposed to call by now, or at least send a text message." he said. Suddenly, he felt a twinge of pain and grabbed his chest, " Something's wrong."

"What is it?" Chris asked, concerned.

Warren looked at him oddly, wondering what force acted upon Wyatt. Nothing seeable had touched him.

"It's Drake." Wyatt panted.

"What happened to Drake?" Chris asked.

"What?" Warren asked, watching Wyatt's pains. How could an emotional tie be this accurate? How could sheer love do this?

"He's...at the hospital." Wyatt said, " I've gotta go."

"I'll go too." Chris said quickly.

"Me too." Warren said, shimmering out.

Wyatt and Chris followed.


At the hospital, the sisters and Leo waited while Eva examined me. As Wyatt, Chris, and Warren came running up, Eva walked out to the family.

"Mom, Eva, what's wrong?" Wyatt panted.

"I don't know." Piper said, turning to Eva, " What's wrong with Drake?" she asked, concerned.

Eva sighed and whispered, " Drake's pregnant. Three months." she explained. They all nodded, " Has he been experiencing stress?"

They all looked at each other.

"Sorry, I have to ask." Eva smiled, " His pregnancy could be deadly, especially with all the stress you're constantly under. I think he should just, be less stressed, if possible, and try to keep him as happy as possible."

"He's unhappy?" Wyatt asked.

"No, I just meant..." Eva tried to explain.

"Can I see him?" he asked.

Eva nodded, " One at a time, I will release him later today." she said.

"Thank you, Eva." Wyatt said, hugging her, " Sorry."

Eva chuckled, " It's alright." she said, " Well, I have an appointment, so is there any other questions?"

"I have some, but go ahead Wyatt." Piper nodded.

"Tell him we love him." Phoebe yelled after Wyatt.

Wyatt jogged down the hall, searching the rooms. In his readiness to see Drake, he had neglected to ask what Drake's room number was. Wyatt peeked in all the doors, eventually finding it. As he walked in, I was trying to get out of bed, " No!" he said, pushing me back into the bed.

"What the fu..." I groaned.

Wyatt sighed, " The doctor says that you need to rest and that we have to keep you happy." he smiled, trying to conceal his worry.

I looked at him quickly, " I am...happy. I'm just really busy." I said, " With a wedding coming up, I realy need to be ready for anything."

Wyatt sighed, " i know, I've been busy working on the nursery and changing careers and demon hunting..." he said.

"You went demon hunting alone?" I asked, worried.

"No, with Chris and Warren." he said.

"So, I'm being replaced already?" I giggled nervously, causing Wyatt to stare at me, " I'm just kidding."

"I've known you long enough to know that you're not kidding." Wyatt said, " You're not being replaced. We're all just getting help."

"Look, it's hormones. I'm good." I smiled, " Just a little dizzy. This baby thing is harder than I thought."

"Now that's impossible." Wyatt smiled, kissing me, " Look, Chris and Warren'll help and we'll do the working thing, and Mom'll plan the wedding."

"What am I going to do?" I asked.

"Learn to cook." Wyatt joked.

I hit him in the arm, " Wyatt!" I laughed, " I'm all scared.

Wyatt hugged me, " We'll be alright." he said, comforting me.

"For the first time, it's really not me I'm worried about." I said, causing Wyatt to look down at me, " It's our baby."

Wyatt smiled and kissed me.
