Wyatt glared at the alien robot baby currently lying on his bed. Every time he put the damn thing down, it would start to cry again. This did not bode well.
Despite the disclaimer, Isabel still thwapped him lightly. "No. No bathtub. That's just wrong. Besides, the doll probably has sensors or something in it. And it'll start to cry if you do."
"If you're smart? No. Because I'd have to kick your ass and then make you sleep on the couch," she laughed, sliding her arms around Wyatt's waist and squeezing. "And I'm not sure what will make me crankier. Using spells on the baby or sleeping alone."
"How about I ask my mom if she used spells on me and Chris," Wyatt said teasingly. "We turned out okay. Well, I did, at least. Chris is a neurotic little freak." But he said that last with love.
Wyatt might have been teasing but Isabel's thoughts had turned to Clayton Wheeler and what Piper and Leo had done to keep Wyatt and Chris safe. "Neuroses aside, yeah, you guys did turn out okay. But think about why that happened. Is it because they left you? To make sure you were safe?"
She paused, trying to think of the right words. "There's always going to be a danger of someone finding out what I am, the thing with Wheeler proved that. And because of what you are, what you need to do, you're going to be a target. That would put Victoria, or any other child in danger, just because they belonged to us. Is that fair to them?"
Damn Anakin for making her think like this at this point.
Wyatt frowned. "My mom and her sisters lost my grandma when they were kids, but their Grams raised them just fine," he said. "She protected them from demons on her own. I understand why my parents did what they did, but that doesn't mean I agree with it. I'd make sure Victoria would be safe."
"I know you would." Or at least he'd want to. But the last two weeks had shown her that they couldn't always do what they wanted to. "This is just my brain. Thinking too much and too deeply."
"Yes, you are," Wyatt said, putting his finger over her lips. "Don't worry about it. I had powers from the womb. What's to say Victoria wouldn't as well?"
Isabel shook her head and smiled. They had plenty of time. She could let it go for now.
"Okay, in that case, forget the bad guys. I'm worried about us." With a kiss to his fingertip, Isabel rested her head against Wyatt's shoulder. "It doesn't freak you out talking like this? Kids, forever?"
"Nope," Wyatt said, playing with her hair. "Well, it's a little too soon to be taking care of a baby now, but the thought of being a dad someday doesn't scare me. As long as it's with you."
