Chapter 1: Waiting On The Other Shoe

"Lilly all I'm saying is life was so much better when he didn't have a girlfriend he made no noise and he hardly ever bothered us. Now he plays loud music and you can hear stuff thumping all night." Liz drummed her fingers on the top of her kitchen table where she sat by herself on the phone in the sweat pants she stole from Wyatt and one of his old blue dress shirts. She had tried watching tv but she couldn't hear it over the sounds of her next door neighbor. She let out a long sigh and rolled her eyes at Lilly who was on the other end of the phone. "Yes of course I'm glad that Roman is ok but seriously he and Mel need to be more considerate of those of us over here trying to sleep." Liz laughed out loud at Lilly's next suggestion "Lilly I know you're crazy now I can't tell Wyatt that he will kill Roman he's pissed enough as it is that they're dating. I really don't want to be treated to another display of his temper this week over them he already damn near went through the roof when we walked in on them making out at the manor."

She listened some more to what her friend and roommate was saying "Of course it doesn't bother you, you're hardly ever here anymore you're always off with Jake leaving me here to fend for myself Wyatt has had shifts at the hospital lately but he's been staying here some nights or I go to his place."

Liz was in interrupted by a loud noise coming from Roman's apartment. "Lilly I'll have to call you back I'm going over to beat the shit out of Roman have a good time tonight and give Jake my love. Bye." She sighed again as she hung up the phone the whole reason she was sitting in the house alone tonight was because Wyatt was at the hospital and everyone else was either working or doing something else Prue and Chuck were on a date and God only knew what Henry was doing the doctors still wouldn't clear him to go back to work. Hell she was getting desperate enough to call Parker who wasn't a bad guy at all sure he still acted like a little kid but he was a Halliwell she expected weird from him. Or even one of the future boys would be better than being alone.

She pushed her feet into a pair of flip-flops and pocketed her apartment keys before she walked next door and began banging on Roman's door. "Roman James Nicolae and Melinda Paige Halliwell one of you two open this damn door right now and I mean it." she yelled. Melinda opened the door fully clothed and Liz silently thanked God she didn't want to have to tell Wyatt his only sister had opened the door of her boyfriend's apartment half dressed. "Mel is your retarded boyfriend in there ?" she asked knowing damn well that he was.

"Hey Liz come on in he's in there." Mel said smiling and ushering Liz in she wished that her brother would get over himself and ask her out already. "Babe Liz is here she wants to talk to you." she called to Roman.

"Mel because I love you I give you this word to the wise watch out for him around Monica Palmer she's back in town I saw her at school the other day." Liz warned that was the girl Roman had cheated on her with.

"I got him Liz he knows better Wy, Chris, and Hank have all threatened him he knows what's good for him." Mel replied she knew Roman wouldn't do anything to hurt her.

Roman appeared a second later coming out of the kitchen he too was fully dressed it had been three weeks since he had been rescued from the source's dungeon and he had yet to shave the beard he had grown. "Hey Lizzie what do you need ?" he asked plopping down on the couch and pulling Mel down with him.

For an answer Liz walked over to him and cracked him on the back of the head. "What the hell are you doing over here ? I can't hear the tv over all the damn noise you're making." she asked slapping him on the back of the head again.

He smiled ruefully "It's not my fault my loving girlfriend got pissed and blew up one of my pots one of my good pots I might add." he said staring at Mel through narrowed eyes.

"No he got that wrong he pissed me off so I blew one of his good pots up. He was being a jerk so I hit where I knew it would hurt." Mel said sticking her tongue out at him.

Liz rolled her eyes they were so cute together it made her sick " Mel I'm afraid to ask but what did he do to you ?" Oh Jesus Wy would kill them if he saw how they were hugged up on the couch together. She thought to herself.

"He called me Pippy and he knows I hate it I am not that much like my mom." Mel protested Ro had used the name that everyone called her when she started acting exactly like Piper.

"Speaking of that does Aunt Piper know you're here ? And yes you are that much like her point in case you blew up his pot." Liz said shaking her head at the younger girl.

"Yes she knows I'm here Ricky and Charlie are coming over for dinner you want to stay ?" Mel asked Wyatt could seriously do worse than going out with Liz.

"Yeah come on Liz stay I could use another adult these kids are making me feel old." Ro commented both Liz and Mel hit him for that comment.

"Ok fine I'll stay my other options for the night were calling Parker or B hell I was even thinking about calling Linc or Mitch so I didn't have to be alone until Wy gets off." Liz answered truthfully glad for the company.

"And you would have had no luck Hank is teaching Parker how to ride his motorcycle tonight and B is teaching night classes to stay as far away as she can from Hank. As for my brother and cousin no one has heard from them for two days they're after another demon." Mel explained.

Liz had a look of shock on her face Hank was not supposed to be on that bike "I hope he knows Aunt Paige will kill him if she finds out he is still supposed to be taking it easy I swear he has gotten worse since Parker showed up. The two of them are like gasoline and a match. And I for one would like to know what went on between him and B they can barely be in the same room anymore."

Patty and Ricky orbed in at that moment without knocking it was like taking a gamble that Roman and Mel would actually be dressed but this time they had won. "Talking about my brother and his foolishness with Bianca I see." Patty commented she would also like to know what went on with those two.

"Honestly I don't see why they don't just get over it and get together everyone knows they like each other." Ricky said throwing himself down in his brother's faded blue recliner which didn't match his black leather couch at all.

"People used to say the same thing about you and Charlie so I don't want to hear it from you. Val and I breathed a sigh of relief when we found out you were dating." Mel said shaking her head.

"I guess I'm the only one who thinks that would be weird. I mean she is his sister-in-law that's like incest." Roman said shivering at the mental picture he gave himself.

Patty sat down on top of Ricky in the recliner " I swear to God Ro you better not say that in front of him then he would never go out with her. Prue is thinking of doing to him what Val did to me and Ricky. Because by the way if no one got the memo his wife is dead has been for three years now. I think he can date without feeling like he's cheating on her." she didn't mean to sound cold but she wanted her brother to be happy.

"Good I'm glad she has some damn sense I'll have to help her the two of them are driving the rest of us crazy." Liz said not aware everyone else in the room was trying to hide their laughter she was one to talk with the way her and Wyatt acted.

" I think everyone was warned about that and so when he lets loose with his temper you only have yourselves to blame. And if you two break my recliner I swear I'll kill you both and you won't have to worry about Hen." Roman threatened that was his favorite piece of furniture.

"Please I'm begging you both break that damn thing otherwise that's the next thing of his I'm going to blow up. I've been trying for weeks to get him to get rid of it." Mel begged she really hated that damn chair.

"Woman I let the pot go but if you blow up the recliner we're gonna fight." Roman warned as much as Mel hated it he loved that chair.

"So dare I ask where Carly is tonight ?" Liz asked Mel and Roman she could live with but Carly and Jason was weird for her.

"In her room at home pouting because Jason had to work tonight and because mom won't let her go to a party on a school night. Which of course means her and Val will come dragging in around two." Patty answered.

"Is the manor still overrun by the Halliwell sisters ?" Mel asked she was dreading going home.

"Big time they had bridal magazines busted out all over the place it wasn't pretty Charlie and I high tailed it out of there before they could get any ideas." Ricky said that wasn't his scene at all.

"They're bad but I sleep sound at night knowing that they will try to marry off Ro and Mel before they start in on us." Patty smirked in her cousin's direction.

"You two boys do know that you're going to end up as in-laws don't you ?" Liz asked laughing at the look that crossed both their faces.

Mel rolled her eyes " There is gonna be a long wait on that because I refuse to marry him unless he gets rid of that chair."

"Just remember you have been warned you mess with my chair at your own peril." Roman pointed out and Liz smacked him in the head again.

"Don't you talk to her like that and I mean it." Liz said Mel was like a little sister to her.

XXXXXXXX

Liz fumbled with her key trying to get it in the lock her mind was fuzzy as a result of the margaritas that Roman had kept coming in never ending supply. She felt sorry for Mel who had to try to make past Piper while trying to act sober. Finally she got the damned door opened and stepped inside. She laughed and banged on the wall between the two apartments when she heard Mel yelling at Roman for something and they quieted down.

she was so drunk and distracted that she didn't notice anyone else was in her apartment until she felt someone grabbed her from behind.

Introducing

Troy Shane- David Boreanez

"Hey now is this how you greet me after a haven't seen you in forever ?" a deep male voice behind Liz asked.

Liz spun around to see who it was and she rolled her eyes "Troy Timothy Shane don't you dare break into my apartment and then act like I'm being mean to you." she shot at her older brother she could have killed him for scaring her like that.

"Come on now Lizzie Beth I didn't mean to scare you I'm sorry. A guy can't stop by and see his sister anymore." Troy said innocently making a sad puppy dog face. Troy wasn't that big of a guy but he was built up well he had dark brown hair and brown eyes to match his sister's. His tight pink t-shirt with 'Tough Guys Wear Pink' on the front showed off his muscles. If his jeans had one hole in them they had twenty and he was wearing a worn out pair of running shoes past their prime.

"I'm not amused Troy you broke into the wrong apartment for that your friend Henry lives across town he would be more than happy to see you. Jackass I haven't heard anything from you in months I was worried you jerk." Liz said hugging him she really was glad to see him.

Troy smiled at his little sister "I didn't break in I have a key that you gave to me just like I have a key to Wy's apartment."

"I can see you already made yourself at home you might want to knock on the door next door and say hi to Roman." Liz said looking at the bowl of cereal he had left on the kitchen table.

Henry and Parker damn near broke down the door to Victor's house trying to get in because they were both in such a rush to get inside. Victor was sitting in the living room playing poker with Sam as was their norm they had sorta become best friends.

"How did it go guys ?" Sam asked laying his cards down he wasn't the least bit surprised that Henry and Parker had taken to each other.

"It went we might be ready to take the training wheels off for him next time." Henry joked shoving Parker playfully.

"Shut up Henry you said I didn't do a bad job." Parker defended himself.

"You boys play nice together and don't make me have to call Piper on you both." Victor said smiling at both young men.

"So Henry if you're riding your bike how long before you can go back to work ?" Sam asked trying to make conversation with his grandson who had been easier to talk to lately.

Henry just frowned and shook his head in response. "Bad question Uncle Sam he bitched the whole time about how the doctors still won't clear him." Parker answered he had taken to calling Sam uncle since he was so close to his dad.

"I'm not mad at you Sam just the doctors I can work right now I'm fine." Henry bitched some more that was his favorite subject for the day. And it didn't help matters any that Bianca really was not happy with him so he didn't even have her to bitch to.

"This mood would have nothing to do with Bianca not talking to you would it ?" Parker asked innocently but he knew the answer he was an empath.

"Victor that is it I've had it with your empathy not even Ladybug is that bad. We are so getting my mom to make an empath blocking potion." Henry said shaking his head but the kid had hit the nail on the head.

"I thought you said to watch out for Paige and her potions." Parker said confused.

"You might live she has never seriously done damage to anyone other than herself with her potions." Henry grinned slyly.

"Henry Victor don't even tempt your mother I love her but come on pal you know her potions are dangerous." Victor scolded playfully.

"There it's settled even dad knows not to mess with her potions." Parker shrugged.

"So what are you guys doing tonight ?" Sam asked

"Not going to the manor we're avoiding that place at all costs." Henry said he had no desire to go anywhere near there.

"Prue well it's been mostly Phoebe has turned that place into wedding central even the girls are avoiding the manor." Parker didn't even like to think about going over there with all four of his sisters at the same time he got the feeling that Prue didn't like him very much.

"And Parker is avoiding Aunt Piper because he can't get his freezing power down and she will test him." Hank laughed but he shouldn't have been because freezing was what he had the worst control of but he just got that power Parker had his all his life.

"Parker if I were you I would do as your sister says. Now come on boys we're all going out tonight no more of this sitting around doing nothing and who knows maybe you two young men can find you a lady friend." Victor said rasing his eyebrows suggestively.

Prue was looking at the most majestic view of snow capped mountains she had even seen in her entire life she was in heaven. Chuck had shimmered them to a cabin in Colorado so they could watch the snow fall over the mountains and just take in the town. Prue had on a puffy insulated jacket that made her look like a pink marshmallow. And Chuck had broke out a lumberjack hat with the flaps just like the ones Wyatt and Jake had.

"You having a good time sweety ?" Chuck asked kissing her on her shoulder and wrapping his arms around her waist.

Prue leaned back into him and breathed in the scent of his aftershave. She enjoyed just having him hold her she felt safe in his arms like nothing could get to her. "Um hum Chuck this is beautiful I don't know if you can top yourself after this." she said turning her head so she could kiss him.

" I want to stay here with you like this forever I don't want to go home and go to work tomorrow." Chuck groaned it seemed like he saw less and less of her these days.

"Me too but we have to go back baby otherwise they will send out a search party only Chris knows where we are and he has been advised not to tell anyone unless it's an emergency meaning the world will end if we don't get back in a hurry." Prue leaned further into to him and she could feel his breath on her skin. She could get lost in him and she wanted to it wasn't like they had any major demonic threats to deal with the source had been leaving them alone lately but that only meant he was up to something.

Chuck picked Prue off her feet in a sweeping motion and carried her inside the cabin "For now the rest of the world can wait I just want to be with you. I've got all I need right here." he was skillfully trailing kisses up her neck as he spoke.

Mel stood on her tiptoes and kissed Roman on the nose while he pouted "I don't want to go either but I have to I'm pushing my luck as it is." she said kissing him on the lips this time.

He couldn't stay mad for long when she kissed him. "How you getting home baby ?" he asked he was in no condition to drive and she couldn't call any of the adults who could orbed because they didn't know about them.

It was eleven and she knew she had to get home otherwise Piper wouldn't be happy at all. So she couldn't call Patty and her brothers were busy and besides she didn't want them to see her she was wearing Roman's shirt. And then she had an idea "B it's Mel please come get me." she called and half a second later Bianca was there.

" I take it you need to get home Mel." Bianca said as she took in both their appearances Roman had only boxers on and Mel had his shirt on rather than her own.

"Please B," Mel said and then she turned and kissed Roman again "I really got to go." she said and pulled away from him.

Roman pulled her back to him and kissed her one last time. "Roman I suggest if you don't want Aunt Piper to break up your playhouse you should let me take her home."

"I know thanks for doing this B," Ro released Mel reluctantly "Bye baby I'll miss you call me."

Mel allowed Bianca to put an arm around her "I'll miss you too and we're both busy tomorrow. Come by for breakfast dad won't be there he has to go to magic school early he has to do grades."

"You ready to rock and roll Mel ?" Bianca asked those two were breaking her heart with their cuteness.

"Yep lets go." Mel said she waved at Roman one last time before Bianca shimmered them out.

Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige were all in the kitchen of the manor Prue was alternating between looking at a bridal magazine and looking at the prophecy that the elders had given Leo.

"I don't give a damn what you guys say this prophecy isn't very clear and it's deceptively worded." Prue groused she had been at this all night and she still wasn't getting any results at all.

"Yeah we know we still haven't figured the damn thing out. And at the moment I don't care I have a daughter to kill if she doesn't show up in five minutes." Piper wasn't really mad but she was none too happy either.

Thankfully for Mel just then ripples of shimmers appeared Piper poised her hands at t he ready just in case she had to blow something up. They all breathed a sigh of relief when it was just Mel and B.

"Seriously mom you were going to blow us up ?" Mel asked arching an eyebrow.

"No I just didn't know it was you because someone didn't call and tell me they were coming home." Piper said pointedly.

"Thanks B I owe you my brothers were out of range and if I were you I would get out of here quick." Mel said she was going to make a B-line for her room first chance she got. Bianca waved goodbye before shimmering out.

"So Mel where have you been ? As I seem to recall that is not what you left the house wearing so what's his name ?" Paige asked sliding up to her niece.

Mel pretended to think for a minute "Oh you mean my Cuban boyfriend Carlos he's a pretty great guy hard to understand sometimes but not bad to look at." she deadpaned.

"Melinda Paige don't insult our intelligence we know it has to be somebody that is clearly not your shirt." Phoebe persisted it was killing her that she didn't know who her niece was seeing.

"And I'm being dead serious Aunt Phoebe Carlos really is hard to understand sometimes." Mel was having fun with them.

Piper took pity on her poor sisters because she couldn't stand trying to think up lies for Mel and Roman anymore. "Mel go on and get him over here don't worry about your father I'll deal with him later he's sleeping anyway.".

"Ro baby I need you to come to the manor I'll get Aunt Paige to orb you." It came in handy dating someone else who was telepathic. "Damn telepathy Aunt Paige that was stupid Roman he wants you to orb him over here." Mel said knowing she was lying through her teeth.

Paige waved her hand and Roman appeared in a swirl of orbs thankfully had put pants and a shirt on. "Mel what's wrong ?" he asked looking around he didn't see any demons.

"I have three nosey aunts who can't mind their business and mom is seriously about ready to spill." she explained and then she arched an eyebrow at him his t-shirt was inside out. "You're shirt is inside out."

"I thought something was wrong with you babe you can't just say I need you and not give me any details I was worried. And besides that I was getting ready to get in the shower." Roman explained.

"Aunt Paige, Aunt Phoebe, Aunt Prue say hi to my boyfriend. Roman say hi sweety." Mel advised.

Roman waved shyly and Prue looked at him with an appraising eye "What are your intentions with my niece ?" she asked she knew he was a good guy she was just busting his chops.

Roman scratched the back of his head and made a face "To love her and take care of her." he said it was more of a question than a statement.

"Good answer Roman," Phoebe said almost giddy "how did the two of you get together ?" she asked.

A smile played on Roman's lips "Roman if you even think about repeating what you told Liz I will blow your recliner up I'm not playing." Mel threatened him he had told Liz that she seduced him.

"Me and Mel were locking up at Charmed one night I was her ride home and I don't know somehow all our feelings just came pouring out." Ro explained ignoring her last remark. That wasn't the truth the whole truth and nothing but. But it was close enough they didn't need to know that they had gone to bed together before their feelings had come out.

"The way I remember it I was sitting on the counter and Ro seduced me." Mel beat him to the punch.

"Alright enough I don't need all the sordid details and I swear if you two desecrated my kitchen I will not be happy." Piper fumed.

"My son didn't by chance try to beat you within an inch of your life did he ?" Paige asked Mel was Henry's little buddy she was scared of what he might have tried.

"No he knew before anyone else did and he was cool with it." Mel answered.

"You told him first after what he did to me when he was thirteen ?" Ro asked incredulously.

"Yes and as much as I would love to talk to you all night I have to get a shower and get in bed." Mel kissed him very chastely on the lips. "Go over to your sister's if you have any more nightmares."

"Roman take Wyatt's old room tonight I don't want you alone if you're having those nightmares." Piper ordered she wasn't thrilled about the fact that he was staying alone for all they knew whoever kidnaped him could still be after him.

"Yes Aunt Piper." he answered with a roll of his eyes.

"Come on I have some of your clothes over here I'll get them for you." Mel pulled him behind her up the stairs.

"Piper you do realize that he's not going to sleep in Wyatt's room don't you ?" Prue asked she had snuck Andy into her room enough to know what went on with teenagers.

"Yes but this way at least I know where she is and she isn't lying to me." Piper tried not to think about what those two did behind closed doors.

"Now come on Prue get back on topic which one of these damn dresses do you like you have hundreds to choose from." Phoebe was about to drive everyone nuts with her wedding planner mode.

Chris and Jason came slipping through the side door just in time to see Paige orb an apple into Phoebe's mouth to shut her up.

Chris and Jason both put their hands up and walked into the kitchen "We come in peace a certain Halliwell sister promised me and Jason lunch if we stopped by and we came to collect." Chris said.

"Yeah sit down boys I'll get right on that for you guys how is work tonight ?" Piper asked ushering them into chairs.

Jason had to move a stack of bridal magazines out of the way so he could sit. "Slow and boring nothing is happening Sarge may let us go early if we call him and beg." Jason said he was upset that Carly was pissed at him because he had to work.

"Nope already thought about it he said that until Hank comes back he is short a guy so we gotta pull the extra weight." Chris sighed thumbing through one of the magazines in front of him.

Jason ran a hand through his dirty blond hair and then he jumped when his phone buzzed. "No Captain Mitchell I haven't seen Carly all day I'm working I'll try to call her but I can't make any promises." Jason said into the phone before Henry hung up on him.

"Jason do I even want to know?" Paige asked there was no telling what mess her oldest had gotten into this time.

"No the Capt just wanted to know if I'd seen Carly she's not in her room. I'm gonna try and call her right now." Jason said dialing her number on his phone and praying for an answer.

Carly and Val were as usual up to no good the fact that they had school the next morning didn't bother them in the least bit. They had snuck out and gone to the party their mothers had told them not to go to.

They were in an old warehouse off of the waterfront it wasn't much to look at but somehow someone had managed to get a few generators to power some lights and play some music and the party had been thumping every since.

Val was clad in a pair of tight jeans with holes in the knees and a green tank top that left nothing to the imagination she was currently making out with some guy from the football team. Though she could care less what anyone thought of it.

Carly was dressed similarly in jeans and a t-shirt she was covering up some she had a boyfriend sure he was at work but he was still her boyfriend. She was sitting on an old couch someone had drug up someone tapping her foot in beat to the music she was keeping a close eye on Val to make sure she was ok. She was so buzzed and in a zone that she didn't notice when someone came walking up to her.

"Hey Carly we didn't know you and Val were gonna be here." Penny said as her and Emily walked up to her damn near giving her a heart attack.

"You two don't need to be here Aunt Phoebe and Uncle Derek would kill both of you if they found out you were here." Carly scolded them that was not to mention what Prue and Chuck would do. "Shit." she cussed when her phone went off she saw it was Jason and she knew she had to take it. "You two sit right here watch Val and don't move." she ordered pointing to the couch both girls complied.

"Hey Jay what's up ?" she said into the phone and then she listened to what he had to say "I'm at a party one of the old warehouses down at the river front." she nodded her head "Fine ok I got it Jason I'll stay put I'll see you soon." She walked back over to Penny and Emily "That was Jason him and Chris are on the way to get us we are so busted."

Penny and Emily groaned "Is there any chance me and Penny could just bug out of here ?" Emily asked hopefully.

"Not a chance Em we're all in deep shit this time." Carly said knowing she should let them go but she wasn't going down for this one alone.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

Chris was fuming when he and Jason stepped under the crime scene tape that roped up the warehouse. "I can't believe people have no respect for the yellow tape anymore Jackson."

"I don't know dude it's a bunch of damn kids is all I can tell you." Jason answered he wasn't sure what to say to Chris about the matter.

As they wondered around the warehouse they searched from room to room looking for the girls. Things about it started looking familiar to Chris and when he saw a window on the far side of one wall he knew what it was. "Jason we have to find the girls and get the fuck out of here this is the place that Hank got shot in." he said fuming at the thought.

"Halliwell if you want to wait out in the car I'll understand." Jason said really feeling for him.

"No I'm fine and besides that I think I just found them." Chris lied feeling a bit shaken but then he pointed out Carly sitting a grungy looking old couch. "Carly Janice Matthews Halliwell what the hell do you think you're doing here ?" he asked a cold edge in his voice.

"Having a party Chris that's what we're doing at least that's what Val is doing she has been making out with Steve from the football team for the past hour." Carly said with a small smirk as she pointed in Val's direction she had yet to come up for air. "And before you jump all over the two of us you might want to go after Penny her fatal attraction with Torch has stared up again." she pointed over to the far wall where Penny stood with Torch.

"Jason keep an eye on her and Val, Em you stay with them and I'll be right back." Chris said strolling over to where Penny was he was willing away his thoughts of killing the younger boy. He was glad Prue wasn't there otherwise she would have killed him.

"Jack I said let me go now." Penny said through gritted teeth she wanted no part of him anymore.

"Come on Penny just let me explain I didn't mean any of it I swear." Torch spewed trying to get her to forgive him. But he had a tight grip on her arm she couldn't get away.

"I would suggest you take your hands off her now unless you want your probation revoked. Which I can make happen I saw what you did to her last time and I want you to know I had to stop her brother from killing you and he is perfectly capable of it as am I so you little shit head walk away now." Chris said grabbing him by the collar and shoving him away.

He couldn't get away from Chris fast enough to suit himself. "Chrissy thank you so much." Penny said clinging to her cousin.

"It's ok Penny come on lets go I don't like you girls being in this place." Chris said taking her by the hand and leading her to the others.

Wyatt was so tired from his shift at the hospital that he didn't even bother walking up to Liz's apartment from his car he just orbed himself into the middle of her living room. "Lizzie where are you ?" he called when he didn't see her right away. He threw himself down on the couch and waited for her to come to him.

"Wyatt thank God you're here do you have any idea what I've had to put up with tonight?" Liz asked him putting her hands on her hips.

"No but I have a feeling you're going to tell me." Wyatt smirked when she flipped him off.

"First I had dinner with your sister and her boyfriend because I was bored." Liz said not amused in the least bit by her friend.

Wyatt rolled his eyes at the mention of Mel and Roman "And then what else happened Liz ?" he had his eyes closed.

"Well then I happened Halliwell she accused me of breaking in but I have key." Troy said plopping down on the couch next to Wyatt.

"Troy when did you get back in town ? I thought you were doing whatever the hell it was you were doing." Wyatt asked punching his friend's older brother in the arm.

"No I got tired of working on the cruise ship I decided to come home after Lizzie called me and said that Roman died." Troy answered he had missed home.

"Obviously as you know he's not dead a demon just kidnaped him we have no clue who we're still working on it. Not only is he not dead but he is dating my sister." Wyatt said making a face.

Troy laughed at that Wyatt never changed no matter how old he got. "I can't believe little Mel is grown up enough to have a boyfriend now. I've been away entirely too long. Tell me what's new with you Halliwell ? You find a girlfriend yet ?" he asked subtly hinting at the fact Wyatt and Liz needed to get together it was horrible even for him.

"Nothing much work, school, demons the same old shit I always do. I haven't had time to date the closet thing I've had to a date lately is Liz." Wyatt answered.

"What about Parker ?" Liz asked not knowing how he could have forgot that detail.

"Oh yeah apparently mom has a twenty-one year old brother no one knew about." Wyatt said like it was the most normal thing in the world.

"Damn Halliwell a guy leaves for a couple years and he misses all the good stuff." Troy shook his head.

"You care to know about you little friend Henry ?" Wyatt asked bad was Chris, Henry, and Troy together bad things tended to happen.

"No I'm gonna surprise him in the morning we'll catch up then." Troy answered.

"You boys know what I want to do tonight ?" Liz asked in her giddy little girl voice.

"No Lizzie what ?" they asked in unison.

"I think we should have a movie night like we used to when we were in high school." Liz answered but it wasn't a suggestion they both knew she was going to have her way.

They were about to answer her when shimmers appeared in the middle of the living room they didn't even pay attention to them however because they all knew it was Jake and Lilly.

"You two always shimmer in here at eleven thirty at night ?" Troy asked when they had materialized.

"I don't answer questions from men who just get on boats and sail off without telling anybody for months." Lilly said stubbornly she was dressed in an oversized San Francisco 49ers jersey that belonged to Jake he had got her to go with him to the football game. But she went over and hugged him anyway. "It's good to see you Troy."

"It's good to see you too Lilly. How they hanging Coop ?" Troy asked Jake.

"Life is good man I don't think I've seen you since Europe last year." Jake was trying to remember the last time he had saw Troy.

"Come on guys stay out here have movie night with me and the boys." Liz begged she needed to be with her friends after how she had spent her night.

Henry walked into the manor and stumbled slightly under the weight of Parker who he was more or less carrying. "Come on dude you gotta help me help you. Just a few more steps to the kitchen." He said not knowing why he was trying to be quiet someone was still up the kitchen light was on. "Oh fuck it." he said to himself and he orbed them into the kitchen. He sat him in the first open chair he found.

"Hank what the hell happened to him ?" Piper asked she had sorta taken to mothering Parker so he would act right.

"Parker, Grandpa, and Sam all got hammered when we went to dinner and they just now stopped drinking. Aunt Piper do you want me to take him upstairs ?" He asked he wasn't sure what the hell to do with his uncle.

"I hope he knows I'm still making him go to magic school in the morning. Leave him there for now Roman can help you drag him up to Chris's old room." Piper said shaking her head.

"Matthews just don't ask she's making me stay because I'm having nightmares." Roman said Mel had kicked him out of her bedroom until she fell asleep.

"Chris I thought you and Jackson had the duty tonight ?" Henry asked when he saw his partner and friend sitting there.

"Long story don't ask. It ends with us picking your oldest sister, Val, Penny, and Em up at a party it wasn't pretty." Chris informed him.

"Agreed." Jason said nodding his head.

"Hank you wanna come home for the night ?" Paige asked hopefully she didn't want him all alone in that apartment.

"Nope I don't want to wake up to you and dad yelling at Carly I heard enough of that in the nineteen years I lived at home." Henry answered he saw the hurt on his mom's face. "But just this once I'll make an exception and only because our dog is over there anyway."

"Good I don't want you all alone." Paige said kissing him on the head.

"Henry can you do me a favor since you aren't busy ?" Chris asked.

"What C. Perry ?" Henry had done lots of favors for Chris and he was scared to know what this one was.

"I need you to go to magic school tomorrow and help B she needs someone with telekinesis to come in and help her with her class but I can't now so I figured you're free." Chris said half expecting his cousin to blow him up.

"Fine but I'm telling you she is mad at me so if she attempts to kill me it's on your head." Henry said really glad that he had an excuse to see Bianca.

"I know I owe you one but Julie wanted to talk and I can't refuse her anything she asks." Chris said.

"Henry you figured out this prophecy right ?" Prue asked her nephew.

"Yeah." he said shrugging it was no big deal.

"I don't think this thing is right but I'll check it out don't worry about it. Actually that is where Mitch and Linc are at the Hall of Prophecies there supposed to be helping me out here. But I sent them two days ago so I have no clue where they are." Prue said and then she yawned "That's it I'm calling it a night." she announced.

"Henry just go man me and Jason will get Parker." Chris said waving his cousin off.

"Mom you ready?" Henry asked Paige.

"Yeah come on let go." Paige said putting her arm around him they waved bye before orbing out.

"Alright you two boys volunteered get him up to his room." Piper ordered them Roman helping them wasn't the best idea she had.

Chris and Jason each grabbed Parker by one of his arms and drug him off up the stairs.

XXXXXXXXX

Roman could see a shadowy figure standing over him but he couldn't make out a face he could only tell that the figure was evil. He could also see that the figure had an energy ball in his hand and he threw at him he tensed his body up for an impact that never came.

Roman sat up in bed he was short of breath and his body was covered in sweat he was getting so sick of the nightmares it wasn't funny. The only good thing about this one was he hadn't screamed out that was because he had Mel laying right there next to him.

"Roman baby lay back down it was just a dream." Mel said kissing him softly on the lips and pulling him back down. She put her arm around him and laid her head on his chest.

"Sorry Mellie I didn't mean to wake you up." he said she had to get up early he felt bad.

"It's ok Ro go back to sleep." she said snuggling closer to him.

Roman just breathed a deep sigh and closed his eyes again those nightmares were more like visions like he was trying to remember something he forgot. It didn't matter he would deal with them later.
