Charmed Without A Choice

[~*Alicia*~]

Chris smiled at his aunt. "Thanks, aunt Prue" He then heard all the voices downstairs. "we should probably go down, family dinner is not family dinner unless you see Wyatt dance" Chris said and laughed, remebering how awful dancer Wyatt is. Wyatt just limited to smile and walk downstairs. Chris followed him.

Piper heard Melinda's comment about Leola's cooking and laughed. "i am not surprised to hear that you burnt cereal" She said and laughed at the thought of that. Leo looked at Leola and winked. "It's all right, I am nto much of a cooker either. The same would've happened to me" He said and Phoebe heard him. "No, it wouldn't" She said. "You, unlike me. have common sense. Now, my daughter seems to have taken it after me" She said to Leo, she then turned to look at Paige and stuck her tongue out at her. "Very funny" She then added.

Piper saw Wyatt coming downstairs and Chris coming behind him. "Well, if it is the two lost Halliwell boys" She said and went to hug Chris. "I am fine, mom" Chris said and smiled at his mother. Wyatt looked at the whole scene. "Don't I get a hug also?" He asked his family. "Chris, made me flew out the door and now look at my hand" He said and showed his hand. "You will survive, Wyatt" Phoebe said and patted her nephew's back gently.

Leola smiled brightly at Leo. "Sadly, my mom is right, I am not known for my genuis like moments, besides, who wants to be intelligent when you can be a complete goofball and have twice more fun!" declared Leola with a wide smile, clearly not caring if she ever made a fool of herself.

Melinda rolled her eyes at Wyatt. "Oh don't be such a baby Twice Blessed, now sit down while mom and I show you what a real Halliwell can do" she teased and walked into the kitchen and Paige could not help but smile. "I think Wyatt just got told by his little sister, the shame" said Paige in fake sadness and Prue smiled and sat next to Paige. "Oh? So now you've moved on to teasing Wyatt eh?"


"It is a family thing, can't have future relitives dropping in without embaressing them" grinned the youngest sister and Jake raised an eyebrow, completely baffled by their way of looking at life.

[~*Alicia*~]

Piper went into the kitchen and looked at Melinda. "Alright, so what shall we cook?" She asked her daughter and giggled. She then saw Chris coming into the kitchen. "Come on and help, son" She said and Chris approached them and smiled at his sister. "So, what are we cooking?" He asked and Piper looked at him. "I have no idea, but we should probably let Melinda choose this time" Piper answered and looked at Melinda.

Leo looked at Leola and gave a smile. "Well, being a genious must not be always fun, imagine knowing the answers every single time" He said and thn turned to look at Phoebe. "I once heard about someone that once casted a smartness spell" He said and Phoebe blushed.

[jakehalliwell]

"Well, we could do something simple since we have a full house, simple but filling, like, spagetti? I know Leola and Wyatt love it" smiled Melinda as she turned to her brother and mother.


"A smart spell eh? Awww, Phoebe, you are perfect as your gulliable, naive self" grinned Paige and playfully patted Phoebe's shoulder. "Besides, I would love to be able to be your kind of smart Pheebs, you get to be wise without having to have the wrinkles to prove it" grinned Prue.

[~*Alicia*~]

Piper looked at Melinda and smiled. "Spaguetti it is" She said and went to get all the pots they were going to need. Chris looked at Melinda. "Mel, just a question" He asked, he suddenly was curious about something. "You and Leola were drawn here, right?" He asked, he knew that if the answer was yes, Melinda and Leola were there for more than saving Jake, or did Victor's spell drawn them to the past?

Phoebe blushed and then looked at Paige. "i am not smart, I just like giving advice. That is something I am good at" She said and looked at Leo. "Besides, that spell was to get me a job at a job interview, and it only lasted 24 hours" She said and then looked back at Prue. "Do you remeber the time when I smashed Leo down?" She said, wanting to make Leo also embarrased and looked at Leo, who nodded and then said. "It was not you, Phoebe. It was your evil self" He said and looked at Prue. "And it happened because Prue was forced to turn evil and marry a warlock, am I right?" He then said.

Wyatt looked at Jake, who was quiet this whole time. "Hey" He said and approached him, he knew that Jake didn't know who Wyatt was, but he looked terribly lonely all alone and quiet.

[jakehalliwell]

Melinda paused and turned to Chris and nodded. "Yeah, it was weird, one minute we were walking from soccer practice, next thing we know, we're being thrown into the attic seventeen years in the past" she stated and looked at her mom. "It is weird how little you've changed mom, I guess time has been good to you" she grinned.


"You were evil?" stated Paige in shock and Prue pouted. "Exuse me! Leo stabbed Phoebe before!" she defended and Paige blinked in confusion but slowly remembered. "Uh...that was a shapeshifter" stated Paige and Prue huffed. "Fine....I'll think of something to embaress that man!" stated Prue playfully as she pointed at Leo playfully. Leola looked her mom. "Woah, woah, you cast a spell to get a job? And I get in trouble for personal gain! That is like the ULTIMATE personal gain!" she huffed.

Jake blinked and looked at Wyatt and smiled. "Yeah, just weird listening to them, they act like so much has happened to them...I feel like they have been alive forever"

[~*Alicia*~]

Chris looked at Melinda and heard her answer. It was what he feared, Melinda and Leola were there to do something more than to help Jake, but what? He thought. Another possibility was Victor's spell but how could that affect the past. He then looked at Piper, who was looking at Melinda and smiling. "Well time and experiences make people wiser" Piper said. "Chris, are you alright?" She asked. "Yeah, I was just thinking" He answered and looked at his mother.

Leo looked at Prue and smiled. "I didn't stab Phoebe, Prue. I just said something that happened" He then turned to look at Phoebe. "Also, Phoebe I didn't mean to hurt you, or something like that" He then added. Phoebe looked at him. "It's alright, I was a little inmature back in the day" she said and then turned to Leola. "And you, younglady. You are dead if I ever catch you saying that spell" She said and looked at Prue. "Now, what do we have to embarrase Leo?" She asked, so in favor of her sister's plan.

Wyatt heard everything and then turned to look at Jake. "Yeah, in this family a lot happens." He said and giggled. "And what you just heard of becoming evil, that happens also, and a lot I may add. Those are the consequences of being in a magical family" He then added.

[jakehalliwell]

"Oh don't worry, my person gain is far more fun, I liven up the manor all the time" grinned Leola and wagged her eyebrows playfully. Paige raised an eyebrow but was too enjoyed the idea of embaressing Leo and she slowly grinned. "I think I have something...Mister Sun God" grinned Paige and Prue gave a confused look before Paige filled the others in on what she meant and Prue had a wide, smug look on her face. "Why Leo, who knew such a pervert married Piper!"

Jake smiled at Wyatt and nodded. "Yeah...I guess so...but still...magic...it's just well....hard to take in.."

[~*Alicia*~]

Phoebe heard Paige's story and looked at Leo. "Ha, I knew you couldn't be Mr. Perfect" She said and looked at Prue. "Yeah, I can't believe Leo was such a perv, poor Piper. She has no idea who she married." She said and Leo looked at her. "Well, I never said I was perfect" He said and looked at his hands.

"Well, you get used to magic after a while" Wyatt said to Jake and then heard Paige telling all the story. "Wow, out of all the persons in the world I could've never thought my dad to be like that" He said and looked at Leo. "What a role model I have, now. Just wait until Chris finds out" He said.

[jakehalliwell]

"Awww come on Leo, we were just teasing, besides, nobody is good enough for Piper since she is our sister, but you come as close as possible" stated Prue with a smile and Paige nodded. "Yeah, come Sun God, lighten up a bit" she joked and Prue grinned, realizing how similar she and Paige really were.


Jake smiled slowly and nodded. "Yeah, I will get used to it eventually...it's just hard right now" he stated and blinked at Wyatt's comment smiled. "Aw, come on Wyatt, give your dad a break."

[~*Alicia*~]

Leo laughed and looked at Phoebe. "Well now you embarrased me, happy?" He asked and Phoebe nodded with a wide smile on her face. "Great" He said and looked at the kitchen door, that swung open and Chris came out. "Alright, dinner's ready" Chris said and looked at his father, whose face was all red. "What happpened?" He asked and looked at everyone.

Wyatt looked at Jake. "He's my dad, he raised me, and he will be there for mos of my life. I will never give him a break" He said and smiled at Leo, who smiled back. He then saw Chris and looked at him. "What is for dinner?" He asked. "Pasta" Chris answered and looked at Wyatt and Leola. He then looked back at Leo. "Now is someone going to tell me what happened?" He said and Wyatt looked at him. "Well, apparently it turned out to be that dad was a complete perv back on the days and that he was a hippy that used his powerd in front of a room filled with people" Wyatt said and Chris looked at Leo. "Wow, dad I didn't know that one" Chris said.

[jakehalliwell]

Jake smiled slowly, but it was a sad one, it must be nice to have a dad, someone you could always go to. But Jake snapped out his state when he heard Chris's words and his smile returned. Paige grinned and patted Leo's cheek playfully.

"Yep, he used to be a wild tiger, but Piper made him a cute, tame little kitty" she teased playfully, not meaning a word and Prue grinned. "Okay, that is enough teasing on Leo, Wyatt your next!" grinned Prue, warning him playfully as the sisters walked to the dinning room and Prue turned around, noticing Jake was still sitting.

"You coming sweetie?" she asked causing Jake to snap out of his trance and blink, before nodding and slowly raising to his feet and slowly walking over.

[~*Alicia*~]

Leo looked at Chris and then heard Paige. "Very funny, Paige" He said and got up. Wyatt followed him and shared some laughs with Chris who walked next to him. Phoebe looked at his nephews. "You wouldn't have never thought that your dad was once like that" She said and Wyatt and Chris turned to look at her. "Well, not exactly but it is had to think that we're Sun God sons" Wyatt said and Chris laughed. Piper went outside the kitchen door. She had a big tray of pasta in her hands.

Leo saw as Jake was in his trance after everything they said. He was going to go and talk to him, when he saw Prue. "Don't you even think about it" Phoebe said to him after she had finished talking to Wyatt and Chris. "We can not tell him who we really are" She said and Leo looked at her. "I know, but I just wish there was a way that we could tell him" Leo said.

[jakehalliwell]

Paige, who had been eyeing the mouth watering food, heard Phoebe and Leo and gave Leo an understanding look. "I know Leo, but it may make things even worse, it could destroy him or the Elders could take him away from us" she said softly and placed a hand on his shoulder. "But I promise, you will have a second chance with him, we all will, now come on, lets eat before Mother Goose has a go at us" she smiled, refering to Piper as she entered the kitchen.

Melinda had just finished setting the table and was sat down in the middle as Jake chose to sit opposite her and Paige sat down next to Melinda and Prue sat to the side of Jake. "Wow Piper, it has been so long since I have had your food, being dead just isn't that fun without your cooking."

[~*Alicia*~]

Leo looked at Paige and sighed. "Yeah, you're right" He said and sat down next to Piper who sat down at the other side of Jake. He then heard Prue's comment. "Yeah, well Piper's cooking is awesome" He said and Piper placed her head on his shoulder. "Thanks, honey" Piper said and smiled. "Saying the truth is not bad" Leo said and smiled at her. Phoebe sat down next to Leola.

Wyatt and Chris sat down next to each other. Chris looked at Wyatt, who looked worried. "what?" Chris asked and Wyatt looked at him. "Promess not to tell" Wyatt whispered and Chris nodded. "Barbas is also after Jake" Wyatt whispered to Chris, who looked at him and his eyes widened. "How do you know?" Chris asked. "Last time, Gideon and Barbas worked together, and while we were in the living room, I heard someone whispering in my ear that I was going to lose all of my siblings. Who else but Barbas?" Wyatt said and Chris looked at him.

[jakehalliwell]

"Hey, easy you two, we don't want even more nephews and nieces just yet" teased Piage but could not help but smile at the perfect couple, she hoped she was like that with Henry when they were a good few years into their marriage.

Melinda smiled and helped serve everyone, though Jake had only a small amount on his plate, clearly the teen didn't eat much and what he did eat was never a big portion. "Wow Piper, god this is good! I could so just sit here and grow fat from your cooking" moaned Prue as he bit into the pasta, Piper never lost her edge.


Leola and Melinda happily agreed with nods as they bit into their pasta. "Yeah, this stuff is as good as you got in Aunt Pipers restaurant!" stated Leola, but froze when she realise she had just spilled some future secrets. "Uh...I mean....the resturant called...Aunt Piper" she covered lamley and Melinda rolled her eyes. "Nice cover there cos."

[~*Alicia*~]

Piper laughed at Paige's comment, Leo laughed also. "Yeah, I think that with the nephews we got and the niece, it's enough" Phoebe said and looked at Wyatt and Chris. "What are you two talking about?" She said and Chris looked at her. "Nothing, just brother stuff" Chris answered and Wyatt nodded.

Leo looked at them suspiciously, Wyatt noticed the look because he stumped Chris' foot under the table. Chris was about to say something, but then hush due to the pain. "I am glad you like the pasta" Piper said to Jake and then turned to look at Leola, wo tried to cover her screw up. "It's alrigt, Leola. As I didn't know that I will have a restaurant." She said and Phoebe looked at Leola. "Just try not to say more things about the future, alright?" Phoebe said.

[jakehalliwell]

"It's really nice Piper" smiled Jake softly, but he had only eaten half of it, not that he didn't like it, on the contary, he loved it, but Jake had never been big on food and his skinny body proved it as he prodded the food gently, his eyes lowered as he did so.

"I can't help it, usually I can talk openly and right now I feel like I'm gonna bust!" sighed Leola and she pouted gently and Melinda smiled slowly. "Oh come on you, stop complaining and eat up" she grinned and Leola stuck her tongue out playfully. Paige smiled slowly at the two, glad that they could get on so well, it seemed that the future was bright and maybe even slightly normal. Prue looked at Wyatt and Chris with curioisity, knowing they were hiding something, but said nothing.

[~*Alicia*~]

Wyatt looked around him, he could feel that evryone's eyes were on Chris and him. "You know, I am a little tired. I will be up in Chris' room taking a nap" He said and got up. Chris looked at him, Wyatt then noticed how Wyatt did this jittery thing with his fingers. It was the sign that he had to follow him. Leo looked at Chris. "Chris, can I talk to you in the kitchen?" Leo said and got up, Chris followed him.

Piper looked at the whole scene. "What would this two want to talk about?" She said curious. Phoebe looked at Piper. "Would you like me to try empath mode?" She said adn Piper turned to look. "No, I am guessing it is a father son issus considering they didn't want to talk in fron of us." Piper said and looked at the kitchen door.

Leo looked at Chris, he made sure no one was trying to listen. "Alright, Chris. What is up between you and Wyatt because i know you two don't get along that well" He said and Chris swallowed. "I can not tell you" He answered and looked at Leo. "Sorry" Chris said and orbed to his room. Leo nodded and then went back into the dining room.

Wyatt looked at Chris orbing in. "It was about time" Wyatt said and looked at Chris.

[jakehalliwell]

Jake blinked and watched Chris and Leo go into the other room as did Melinda. "It was probably about what Wyatt and Chris were doing, they did look kind of suspisous" she commented and Leola nodded. "They probably know something we don't" she stated and paused. "And so, for the safety of our family, I am going to go easedrop on them" she stated to the table and before Melinda could protest, Leola had scurried upstairs and tip toed to the door to listen in on the brothers.

Paige rolled her eyes slightly. "Okay, so now we have three run away kids, what should we do?" she asked as she looked at Piper and Leo and Phoebe. They were the parents after all.
