Piper took out a tray of perfectly made cookies from the oven. Phoebe had tried a few days ago but each time it ended up getting burnt. For some reason her sister had a taste for anything sweet these days- ice-cream, cookies, chocolate...Piper remembered for Lilly and Felicity it had been ice-cream, but for Keira she'd always had a craving for chocolate...and for Keira and Lilly she tended to annoyingly keep giving Piper and Paige advice on Love, all the time. With Keira, Piper had been driven up the wall- it had been something like the time Phoebe didn't have control of her empathy.

Melody was in the living room reading when she smelled something like freshly baked cookies which could only mean one thing at that was her aunt was in the kitchen baking. Melody loved helping her aunt cook so she stood up and walked into the kitchen where she saw her aunt taking the cookies out of the oven. "Those smell wonderful aunt Piper, what kind are they" Melody asked as she pulled out a chair and sat down.

Piper smiled at Melody as she came into the Kitchen. "Thanks hunny," she said to her niece, who was the youngest in the family. She was always the one to bring joy to them in the worst of times. "Double chocolate...your aunt Phoebe always had a craving for anything chocolate-y when she was pregnant, especially with your cousin Keira," she explained. "Want one?" she offered. She knew full well how much Melody loved chocolate.
According to Natalie and Derek, Rachelle was allergic to chocolate which if it weren't for the fact it was possible for the problem to be healed by Leo, could have caused serious problems with the pregnancy.

"I would be crazy to turn your cookies down, you know how much I love them aunt Piper.? she said as she took a cookie and bit into it. "Aunt Piper, these cookies are delicious. I hope you remembered to bake chocolate chip because you know they are my absolute favorite." she said as she finished up the cookie and grabbed another one. Melody was a pro when it came to baking because she spent a lot of time in the kitchen with her aunt and was able to pick up a couple of techniques while she was there.

Piper smiled apologetically. "I'm sorry hunny....I didn't forget but I only had time to make one batch." Piper had been busy with the Restaurant. It was open for Dinner only, but it was always full, every night so they had to set everything for reservations, and be up and down the entire time. Sometimes she even had live entertainment, but that was in a separate section of the restaurant.
"You make pretty good cookies anyway- you can make them later," she suggested. Melody had always spent a lot of time in the kitchen with Piper since she was small, as Melody was the youngest and Kaelyn and Henry hadn't accepted her at the time, and all the others were always busy Melody was left with Piper- sometimes Piper had even taken her to work so show off her youngest niece. The workers had always loved Melody.

"Ok, but only if you help me." Melody said as she finished off the cookie. Melody loved to bake but she loved to do it with her aunt. She could remember when she was smaller she always helped her aunt because she was too little to go with her cousins and her siblings didn't want her around so her parent's would always leave her with her aunt which was fine with her because she loved being with her aunt. A lot of people thought she was Piper's kid because she was always with her more than she was with her own parents. Melody loved her mother a lot but she absolutely loved spending time with her aunt.

Piper sighed. She was tired, and just wanted to leave the cookies for Phoebe and go take a rest but she knew Melody preferred cooking with her around..."Alright," she agreed softly, brushing back a strand of hair from her face. Whenever Piper took Melody to work a lot of people always thought Melody was Piper's daughter...partly because all the Halliwells resembled somehow, and because Melody had spent so much time with Piper, as Paige had been busy with Magic School a lot, and Phoebe with her job.

"If you're too tired to bake tonight we can just wait until some other time aunt Piper." Melody said as she looked at her aunt. She could tell her aunt was really tired and she didn't want her to go through all that trouble just for her. Even after her sister's death Melody would always go to her aunt Piper because she was the only one Melody would talk to. Although Paige was Melody's mother Melody was closer to her aunt because everybody else was too busy for her so she always turned to her aunt when she was down.

Piper felt grateful....not many people Melody's age would think about others instead of themselves, but you could always count on Melody to. "That's a good idea," said Piper, as she took off her kitchen apron and threw it across the chair of the kitchen table. "So," she said sitting down on the chair opposite Melody's. "How's school going?" She had seen her own kids, and nieces and nephews go through normal school and Magic School and she had a feeling it was not easy.
Piper had always been un-popular in school, the opposite of Prue and so she had struggled in one school let alone if she'd had to go to two. "And How's Jennifer?" she added. Piper knew about Jennifer as she had been to the Manor once or twice before.

"School's fine, I'm making straight A's and Jennifer is a little better since she's staying at magic school now. I'm just glad she's there and not living with her aunt any more. Jenn is my best friend and she didn't deserve to be treated the way her aunt treated her." Melody watched her aunt for a minute "you know I'm so happy you are my aunt, I know you would never treat me the way Jen's aunt treated her. As usual everyone else was busy so Melody was left with her aunt which was just fine with her. In fact she was much happier with her aunt rather than putting up with her siblings attitude towards her.

"Melody...how did Jennifer's aunt treat her?" asked Piper with a slightly grave tone in her voice. She had never asked that- it had been obvious it wasn't well but she had never known exactly what had happened. She smiled as she felt a warmth in her as Melody said that. "And I'm glad you're my niece..." Piper loved all of her nieces and nephews as if they were her own children. Phoebe and Paige had done it with her kids, and she was the same way with theirs.

"Well she would call her names and lock her in her room, Jen hated it especially when she locked her in her room. I mean Jen is my friend and I know she isn't perfect but she didn't deserve to get locked in her room and frankly I'm glad she's not living there anymore. She was really hateful to Jen. I guess thats why Jen and I are such good friends because I know how it feels to be treated like an outsider." Melody said. "It kinda reminds me of how Kaelyn and Henry treats me because they think my dad is trying to replace their father. "I will always be considered the pesky kid sister they don't want to have anything to do with because of who my father is."

"Melody don't say that- everyone in this house loves you and needs you," said Piper earnestly. "Kaelyn and Henry have been through a lot. They've lost their dad at a young age and their sister not to long ago," Piper reminded her. Piper had been the same way with Paige, she had refused to really accept her at first.

"Aunt Piper its the truth, I know they lost a sister because I did too and she was my best friend. Linda always seemed to know when I was feeling down and knew right away how to cheer me up. She was the best sister I ever had. She would even include me in things even when the other kids thought I was too little or didn't want me around. I could go to Linda for anything, and now she's never coming back." Melody said. "Why did they have to take her, why couldn't they take me instead aunt Piper. If I could bring her back I would trade places with her in a heartbeat just to seem mom smile again because I know how much mom and everyone else lived Lily and Linda".

"Melody you don't understand," said Piper. Melody had been ten years younger than Linda, how was she to understand? Piper wasn't going to be the one to tell her that Linda was just being a nice sister...she knew Linda's death affected Kaelyn, Henry and Paige more than anyone else- even Melody. "Melody, I know you loved Linda a lot and she loved you too, but Linda and Kaelyn were twins," she tried to explain. "And they did everything together...it's hard to lose someone like that."
