"Cool," Wyatt said. "You and Lana going?"

"I'll have to ask Isabel what she's up to then," Wyatt said. At least she knew Piper and Veronica and wouldn't be nervous about "meeting the family" or anything.

"I don't know," Wyatt said, rubbing his chin. "It would be a good sign if they do so we can see they're sincere about wanting to be part of our lives. But my daughter did say she had two Grandma Pipers, so that was promising."

"Oh, didn't I tell you?" Wyatt said. "Mine showed up in Fandom Invasions. Victoria Maureen Halliwell. She was adorable."

"Isabel," Wyatt said, with a grin of his own. "The Maureen must've been her idea, because that's Parker's name. But don't call her that, or she'll kill you."

"That might've been rushing things a little," Wyatt said. "I mean, I really like her, she's great, but we haven't been going out long. But if Victoria is any indication on how things will work out. . . ."

"What do you want to do if our real parents want to spend Thanksgiving with us?" Wyatt asked his brother.

Wyatt nodded. "I totally agree," he said. "But I'd like to see if Mom and Dad try to come through at all."

"I'm not either, but I really hope so," Wyatt said quietly. Abandonment issues? Of course not.

"So, yeah, I'll ask Isabel," Wyatt said, shifting the subject. "I don't know if she has plans with her family, but it would be cool if she could come with us."

[Fleeing home!]

". . . which one?" Wyatt said, chuckling.

"Be nice if she was invited," Wyatt said. "Mom didn't mention it?"
