Phoebe, Piper, and Paige were sitting at the table eating and trying to think about the Cole problem. "So how do we do this?" Asked Piper. "I have no idea." Phoebe shrugged. "Well what can I say it's difficult to vanquish any guy crazy enough to marry Pheebs." Paige joked and Piper let out a snort. "Hey!" Phoebe laughed and she hit them both as Leo orbed in. "Nice to hear laugher." Leo said sitting and pouring himself some coffee. "Ok you look worried. What they need now?" Asked Piper. "It appear's… that you guys aren't alone." Leo said sipping his coffee. "What do you mean?" Asked Piper. "We recently discovered that you three have… a cousin." Said Leo and they looked a bit stunned.
"Well tell us about him." Phoebe said excited. "Well he's an above average kid. He graduated high school at the tender age of 16. He's now 18 with college out of the way. He's a witch to." Leo said and Piper raised an eye brow. "Why do I feel as if there's a tragic twist." She asked. "Cause there is. His grandmother and him knew about his power's only. You see his grandmother bound the power's of her children but unbound his when he was about five." Said Leo. "Why would she unbind his?" Asked Phoebe. "Well he was the type to always wanna help other's. He sacrificed a lot. Especially to his mother who was extremely ungrateful. His grandmother was the only solice she had but she died a short while ago. His parents found out about him being gay and they kicked him out of his home. He's living on the streets. Here's a twist. He has all three of the power's." Said Leo. "What how?" Asked Paige confused.
"The elder's theorize that he's Melinda." Said Leo. "Wow." Paige said and the other's nodded. Piper stood and got on her jacket. "Where you going?" Asked Leo. "Your taking me to him. He needs us. Vomanose." She said and they smiled. They orbed out and appeared in a alley.
They walked around and looked in every cranny. "Piper." Whispered Phoebe pointing at a boy on a bench. He was dirty and his face was bruised yet he still had a beauty about him. "Leys orb him home." Piper said. "How will we explain this to him?" Asked Paige in a low whisper. "We can deal with that later." Piper said. They touched him and orbed him to the Manor. He was laid on the couch and they sat watching him.
"He's beautiful." Phoebe said. "How can anyone hurt a child like that?" Asked Piper looking at the bruises on his face. The boy started to stur and opened his eyes and shoot up. "Your alright. We won't hurt you Zane." Leo said and he sat by the boy and healed his bruises. "Who are you people and where am I?" He asked. "Zane listen. I'm Leo. These are your cousin's Piper, Paige, and Phoebe. We want to help you. We found you sleeping on the bench and brought you here. I know why your parents kicked you out." Leo said and Piper stepped up. "Zane. It's ok. We're here for you. We wouldn't ever hurt you for being the way you are. Your family Zane." Piper said and the other smiled at him. He looked at Piper confused them hugged her tightly crying.
"What's wrong buddy?" Asked Phoebe sitting by them. "It's been so long since anyone was good to me." He cried and Piper held him rocking him. Paige come into the hug and kissed his forehead. "Why don't you go up and take a shower. You can look in my dresser for some cloths." Piper said. "You trust me to be in your room?" Asked Zane still teary. "Why? Oh you family didn't trust you?" Piper asked. "No. My moms boyfriend would steal from her and tell her I did it." He said and she hugged him. "That's over now. You're a Hallowell now Zane. Go up and wash up. Feel free to use anything you like." Piper told him and he walked upstairs.
"I so wanna meet this woman and kick her ass." Phoebe said as they walked into the kitchen. "I second that." Paige said. They stood around the stove and Piper poured some coffee. "That poor kid. He's absolutely a mess. I feel so bad for him. I want to blow the woman up." Piper said and the taoster exploded. "Whoa!" Saod Paige running to put it out. "How in the world?" Asked Piper. "Your pregnant Piper and my guess Zane's situation is playing on your mother instincts and well affecting your power's." Leo said hugging her.
Zane stood in Piper's room and opened the droor looking for dry cloths. He opened Piper's and found a great shirt. It went well with a pair of Leo's pants and a belt. He looked in the mirror and the shirt hugged his body well. He was 5'5, short newly cut emo hair white, blue crystal eye's, and a runner's figure that killed with a feminine twist to it. His tattoo showed and he smiled a bit at the name of his best friend. He walked down the stairs and when he made it to the bottom he was attacked. The demon ran at him as the sister's came in. Zane used his telekinesis and jumped and landed behind him. With a wave he sent the demon at the wall and the sister's stood transfixed. The demon threw a fireball at him and he levitated out of the way. Zane called a knife on the table to him and tossed it at his chest killing him. The sister's walked up and started clapping.
Zane blushed and Piper hugged him tight. "You were great!" Paige said giggling. "Well not the first time I had to face a demon." He shrugged. "How do you levitate?" Asked Phoebe as they all went back into the kitchen. "I channel my telekinesis into it. It's easy really once you under stand the principals." Said Zane sitting and pouring himself some coffee. "So we here you have freezing and Premonitions to." Piper said. "Yeah. Grams wasn't sure she'd be binding me until I used telekinesis one night. But she decided not to. I grew up knowing what I was. She was the best woman in the world. More of a mother than my own." he said looking into his coffee. The sister's patted his back. "That my shirt?" Smiled Piper. "Is this ok? It went well with the pants." He said. "No it's fine. It looks great on you. I'm jealous even it looks better on you." She laughed.
"So what was your guys lifelike?" He asked. "Oh good in some bad in other's. Our mom died when we were kids. Prue just a short while ago. But we found our sister Paige." Phoebe said hugging her sis. "I'm a bit envious. Me and my siblings were no where near as close as I sense you three are." He said. "Oh believe me we weren't always. It wasn't until we found out we were witches that Prue and Phoebe started to get along." Piper said. "Zane. Where did you get those bruises you had?" Asked Phoebe suddenly. He looked into his coffee. "My brother's. They thought I was a disgrace. Gary helped them." He said tearing a bit. "You won't be going back there. You'll stay with us." Piper said hugging him close. "You mean it?" He asked. "Of course. Your family to." She smiled and he did to.
They took him to see P3 that afternoon. "Wow this place is awesome Piper." He smiled and watched the crowd go by. Leo kissed Piper and walked off. "White lighter duties." She said looking at Zane. "Oh." Zane smiled and looked at the bar. A guy was eyeing him. "Your getting attention." Phoebe observed making him smile. "Well his girlfriend might have a problem with that." he said as a girl came up and kissed him. "Yeah probably." Piper giggled. "So how's my neice?" Asked Phoebe rubbing Piper's belly. "Neice?" Asked Zane. "Oh yeah I'm pregs." Piper smiled and Zane smiled to. "I love kids. I want tons." He said. "Really?" Asked Phoebe. "yeah but hard to find a guy as young as I who wants them." He smiled. "You'll find one." Phoebe said. "I'd listen to her Zane she is ask Phoebe." Piper smiled. "Ask Phoebe?" He asked. "An advice collumist." Piper said and he nodded. "What do you like to do? Leo mentioned you kicked college ass." She said making him giggle. "I like cooking." he said. Piper smiled and hugged him. "You just made Piper's day. She loves cooking." Said Phoebe giggling as Paige walked up. "So what's going on?" She asked. "Oh talking to Zane and watching the supposed straight guys watching him." Laughed Phoebe.
"Fine guy two oclock." Paige said pointing one out Leo who walked up. Zane checked out his but as he sat by Piper. "You were looking at my husbands ass." Piper giggled. "I did no such thing." Zane said blushing. "Where you Zane?" Smiled Leo. "Zane we all have done it." Phoebe smiled. "Ok I did. But hey it's a nice ass." Zane blushed and Leo smiled and got up and kissed his cheek then sat back down with his wife. "I so need a man." He laughed. "Well here comes one." Phoebe smiled as a guy came up behind him. "May I have this dance?" He asked. "Sure." Zane said and looked back smiling as they walked away.
"He's a trip." Paige said smiling. "Yeah. He's really sweet." Pheobe said. "That he is." Leo said. They watched him dance with the guy and laugh a bit. The guy was whispering in his ear and handed him a number. He walked back over to the girls and Leo. "Hot sizzle." Paige said laughing. "He give you his number?" Asked Piper. "Yep and his twin brother's." Smiled Zane. "That is no fair." Phoebe said. "What do you expect." Piper shrugged and he laughed. "So bro we wante dto talk to yopu about an idea." Leo said.
"What is it?" He asked. They each looked at one another than him. "We'd like to make you a Hallowell for real. Legal and everything." Piper said. "Really?" He asked and Leo nodded. He teared and hugged them all. An hour later he was out asleep in the chair when they went to check on him. "Leo orb him home. He's had a long day." Piper said and Leo picked him up and went back to the stage room and orbed him home.
Zane adjusted well to being a Hallowell over the next two weeks. His relationship with the sister's grew and grew. Him and Phoebe debated advice together, him and Piper cooked up storms, and he and Paige went boy hoping together. He had done extremely well in his witch studies and caught up with them all. He even helped Piper perfect a sleeping potion she was working on.
He walked down stair's and the sister's were waiting for him. "Zane!" Paige said running up to hug him. "Ok Paige. Hard to breath." He coughed and she let go. "Sorry." She smiled. Phoebe looked down. "Sis what's wrong?" Asked Zane sitting by her. "Cole. The ass will not leave me be." She said. "We really need to vanquish that ass." Zane said as Cole shimmered in. "Speak of the devil." He remarked and stood in front of Phoebe. "I don't believe we've met." Cole smiled. "I'm their new brother Zane. You've I've heard enough about." Zane said. "I'm crushe dPhoebe. You didn't tell me." Cole said. Zane moved closer to her. "Listen Cole. You don't stay away from my sister and I'll vanquish your sorry ass." Zane said making cole smile. "Oh really? If they can't what makes you think you can?" He asked. "This." Zane smiled sending him flying.
Cole landed on his back and moaned. He slowly got up. "You're a powerful little witch." Cole said. "I make Piper look like a kitten. Now leave my sister alone or I will finish the job." he said. "I'll have her back." Cole said. "I think not." Zane said as he shimmered out. Phoebe hugged him. "That was awesome thanks.' Phoebe said. "You're my sis." He said and she hugged him again. "So what are we all doing today?" Asked Piper sitting again. "Me I'm working at the paper." Phoebe said eating her lunch. "Witch duties with Zane." Paige smiled. "And I'm being preger's. Zane wanna carry it for me?" Asked Piper smiling. "I would honey but the matter of where it will come out is a bit of a problem." He smiled and they laughed.
Leo walked down and looked at them funny. "what's the joke?" He asked kissing Piper. "Trying to persuade Zane to carry your daughter." Said Piper giggling. "That could be done." Leo said. "Wait it could?" Asked Paige. "Totally." Leo said. "Ok no idea's. It's hard enough finding a decent guy. I think the baby bump would definitely be a turn off." Said Zane eating. They all laughed.
An hour later he stood in the attic with Paige working on the Cole problem. "What if I used my power's to amplifie all of your's?" Asked Zane. "How?" Asked Paige. "Use a spell to allow you guys to tap my power's weaken his defences. Then vanquish him with a spell or potion." Said Zane and Paige thought about it. "That could work." Paige said. They went into spell writing when they heard a shattering sound down stairs.
They ran down and a sheild was protecting Piper from a dark lighter. Zane jumped the rail and landed in front of him and threw him back making him drop his bow. Zane picked it up and shot him with it making him flame and burst. "Piper you ok?" Asked Zane checking her. "I'm fine Zane. She protected me." Piper smiled and he sighed in releif as Cole shimmered in behind Paige and took her. "Dammit!" He said. "What will we do now?" Asked Piper. "Call pheebes we have a plan." he said running up to the book.
An hour later Phoebe, Piper, and Zane waited outside the building Cole stayed and walked into the elevator. They went up and walked through the door. "Col what the hell did you do with my sister?" Phoebe yelled and he shimmered in with her tied up. "She can't escape and you can't help her." Cole smiled. Zane looked Paige in the eye and started to focus his mind. He envisioned the ropes untying and moved his finger's around at his side. "You can't have me Cole. I don't love you anymore." Phoebe said. "You do your just suppressing it." Cole said. "You wonder why?" Asked Phoebe pointing to her sister.
Paige was untied and ran over to them. "How?" Asked Cole. "What can I say Cole." Smiled Zane and Cole fired at him. Zane caught it in his hand. "How are you doing that?" Asked Paige. "Telekinesis!" he said throwing it back at Cole. It made contact and they began. Paige orbed the crystal's into place. "You think this will kill me?" Asked Cole smirking. "Brother of our blood carrier of three, Your power we call to we, Share your gifts and em power us now, So that this darkness can not come back any day or any how." They chanted and Zane glowed as they did. He fell to his knee's and they held him up. "Prudence, Penelope, Patrishia, Melinda, Astrid, Helena, Laura, and Grace, Hallowell witches stand Strong beside us, Vanquish this evil from time and space." They chanted all four together and the spell ended the sharing. Zane took out a vase as Cole exploded and his bits were captured in it. "Soul of evil we bind thy now, A better way we don't know how, With these words slumber now, Your evil we can not allow." They chante dand the vase glowed and sealed. "It work." Paige smiled and Phoebe hugged him. "You gave me my life back." She said. "It was…" he starte dto say and passed out. "Paige orb us home." Piper said.
They orbed in. "Leo!" Piper shouted and he orbed in. "What happened?" Asked Leo squatting to heal him. "He fainted after we took out Cole." Said Phoebe holding his hand. "You took out Cole?" Asked Leo. "Kind of." Paige said showing Leo the vase. "How?" He asked. "He wrote a spell to allow us to feed off his power. We said the ancestor spell and Cole was turned into ash and we sucked him in here." Piper said. Zane started to wake up. "What hit me?" He asked. They laughed as he stood and leaned into Leo for support. "We get him?" Asked Zane and Paige handed him the vase. "Happy eternity Cole." He said and handed it to Leo. "tell the elder's we got rid of him so they can hide him." Zane said. Leo smiled and took the vase. He orbed out and Zane sat on the couch. "Your definitely a Hallowell." Piper said smiling. "No kidding." Paige said and they laughed.
Zane sat at the table looking through the book and jumped when he looke dup and Grams was standing there. "Your Grams." he said walking up to hug her. "Well aren't you a ciute one." Grams smiled. "That he is." Said Patty appearing. "Not that I'm complaining but why you guys here?" He asked and they sat. "Why in the world is a veritle young man like you sitting here at this time of the day?" Asked Grams. "Verile. Ew." he laughed and they chuckled. "Well I'm exhausted. Letting the girls raw on my magic to fight Cole drained me." He said letting his head hit the table. "That was a very smart idea." Patty said and Grams nodded. "Thanks. Leo lectured me about it of course. I sware if he didn't have a nice ass I'd kick it. But he loves me I know and he cares." Said Zane and they nodded. "Do I here more about you wanting to rape my husband…. Mom! Grams." Piper said walking up to hug them.
"Hey baby. Oh hows our little grand baby?" Asked Patty letting her sit. "Perfect mom. Zane has been a big help." Piper said. "We saw that." Grams smiled. "We were just here to speak with him." Patty said. "What's wrong?" Asked Piper. "It seems Zanes destiny has changed." Patty said. "How so?" He asked. "When you did the spell with the girl's it formed a bond that drawed on your emotional one. You are now effectively a charmed one." Patty said. "Whoa." He said and they nodded. "So he really is our bro now." Piper smiled and Zane did to. Paige and Phoebe came down and hugged them to. "So you're a charmed one?" Asked Phoebe smiling. "Afraid so your stuck with me." He said and they hugged him. "Oh and promise you'll go out more. You spend more time at home then any where." Grams said. "Ok. I'll go out and hurry on giving you some great grandkids." he smiled. "That's my boy." Grams smiled. "Wish he'd carry this one." Piper said taking a kidney shot. "Why not. Piper find a spell and we'll do it." Said Zane. "What you will?" She asked smiling. "You're my sis. I know it's hard being a charmed one and carrying a child. So this way you girls can keep it going. We'll have to find a glamour charm to." he said. "Yeah we don't want them knowing she's not pregs anymore." Paige said and they nodded.
That night Piper and Zane were laying in a pentagram and dressed in ceremonial robes. Phoebe was spreading around roses and Paige was lighting candles with Leo. "Ok we ready?" Asked Phoebe. "Totally." Zane smiled. Piper and him took hands and Phoebe sprinkled roses in between them. "Gaea great mother of protector here us, I pass this child to this willing host, To care and carry my child as their own." Piper chanted and glowed. "Gaea mother of all, Help me to carry this child safely, To hold their life and protect it until they join this family and beyond, As my own I take your child willingly and with love." He said and he glowed and hugged her. A light passed to Zane and he flashed before his belly grew in size slightly. He lifted up his shirt and he showed them the belly bump. "It worked." he smiled and Piper hugged him. "Your are so beautiful." Phoebe cooed making him smile. "Mother hood suites you." Leo said and he blushed. He went to his room and started to slip on some pants and a shirt as a ray of lights came in.
"Hello Zane." Said an elder. "Hello. How may I be of assistance?" He asked. "Oh just wanted to check that the transferr went ok. Hows it feel?" She smiled. "Good. Suppose I won't be dating for a while. But The girls need Piper and she can't do her duties pregs." He smiled. "You are very sweet Zane. They are very lucky to have you." She said. "We know that." Piper said walking in with Leo. They hugged him. "This child will truly be blessed. To have such good family to protect them." She said. "We protect those we love." Piper said holding Zan close. "Well just wanted to make sure it went well. Blessed be all of you and good luck Zane." She said orbing out. "So how's it feel?" Asked Leo touching his belly. "Good. Really good. Oh." He said smiling and holding his belly. "First kick." Smiled Piper and he nodded. He glowed as he smiled and rubbed his stomach. "Zane. You have done so much. We wanted to ask you to be the babies godfather." Said Piper. "I might as well ha? Cause I really don't think me and my nephew could get any closer." he joked and they laughed. He hugged them and they walked downstairs.
He walked to the freezer as Piper cooked some dinner and he opened the fridge for pickles. He put some ice cream in a bowl. They watched as he dipped a pickl;e in the ice cream then ate it and moaned. Paige snickered and he looked at her. "have you seen what your eating?" She asked. He looked and laughed. "Cravings. I still have some. Hand me a pickle." Piper said and they both ate one. "So what we having for dinner sis?" Asked Zane. Phoebe smiled at his appetite. "Chili, homemade bread, and cracker's." Piper said. "Oh I'll need cheese." he smiled getting it out. Piper smiled and he sat still eating his snack and rubbing his belly.
They sat watching Tv and Zane felt strong arms hugging him. Leo had pulled the boy into his chest and held him tight. "Your wife will get jealous." He joked. Leo smiled and kissed his cheek and held him watching tv. An hour later he was asleep as Piper walked in. "So cute." Piper said. "He feel asleep about the time House ended." Smiled Leo as the other two joined them. "I wish we didn't have to hide it with a glamour. He's so beautiful like this." Phoebe said. "He's done a lot since he arrived. Becoming a charmed one, vanquishing Cole, and stealing our hearts." Piper said. "I wish he did have someone. He's probably going to have to wait now." Said Paige. Phoebe stayed sileint. "He's a sweet boy." Leo said getting up with him and orbing him up to his bed and tucking him in.
That night Zane was a little restless. He woke about four in the morning and went to sit in the attic with the book. He looked around the big attic and Piper walke din behind him. "How long you been up." She said scaring him. "Piper you scared me." He said. "Sorry love." She said sitting by him and holding him. "I couldn't sleep to much in my head." he said. "What's bothering you?" She asked. "Just worried about the baby and stuff." he said. Piper looked at him like she peiced him. "There's more." She said. "I'm afraid of losing all of this. Once I was happy. I had my grams. I wasn't happy all the time but the happiness with her was enough. Did I tell you she called me her arch angel Aurora." He said. "No. Where'd she get Aurora it's pretty." She smiled. "The Auroraborialis. Said I was just like them. Bright and colorful. Always's beautiful and lighting the darkness for her and any one who needed it." He said and she smiled. "But when she died. I was torn apart. I lost my only life line. Without here I was lost. But because of you all I found my way again. I love again. You are the older sister I always wanted. And Paige and Phoebe are the clowns of the family that we can't live without." He giggled and she did to. "Leo is everything my brother's weren't to me. The only guy I think I've ever truly trusted in my life. I'm just afraid to lose it all again Piper. I couldn't survive. I entered darkness once. I don't want to go back." He cried and she was crying to. She pulled him in and rocked him.
In the morning Leo walked down with Piper cooking in the kitchen and he sat at the table with the sister's. "Where's Zane?" Asked Paige yawning. "I sent him on a spa day. He needed it." Piper said. "You seem a bit sad." Phoebe said. "I found himin the attic about four." Piper said. "What was he doing up there?" Asked Leo. "He was thinking. I talked with him. He's scared." Piper said tearing a bit. "Of what?" Asked Leo. "Losing us." Piper said starting to cry. "What why?" Asked Paige as Leo ran up to hug her and comfort her.
"He really loved his grandma. She was his life. He said he didn't have a lot of happy moments but when he was with her everything went away. Then she died and he lost that. He's afraid to be happy cause it'd hurt to much to lose it again." Piper cried. The other's were crying now to a little. "What happened to her body?" Asked Paige. "His mother has her ashes." Leo said and Paige orbed out.
She appeared outside his old house and looked in the window. No one was around so she orbed in and looked around. She entered what looked like his old room. She saw a box marked treasures. She opened it and in it were a bunch of necklaces and things. She saw a locket and opened it. It was Zane and a older woman who appeared to be his grams. She put it back in the box and picked it up and walked out of the room and went to the other side of the house. She walked into a room that looked like a mother's room. She looked around and picked up a box and read the writing on it. She heard the door close and orbed out.
Zane was having his hands and feet manicured. The ladies doing it were very good. One was also massaging his temples. "Thank you. You ladies are life saver's." he said and they smiled. "Your welcome sir." A blond woman said. "oh call me Zane. I'm not 30 yet doll." he smiled and they giggled. "So you gay?" She asked. "Yeah. My sis is treating me today. Thinks it'll do me good." He smiled. "We all need a day to feel good and be pampered." She agreed. "My brother's gay to. I could give you his number." A brunette said. "Umm thanks. I'm just not in a spot where dating is exactly a fessable option. But I'll keep that in mind." He said and she nodded.
He was relaxing alone in the jetted warm pool thinking to himself. He rubbed his belly and sighed. "Well little one. What you think?" He asked and god a kick in response. "Just watch the kidney." He said getting out. He was putting on his cloths when he burped and a bubble came out. "Oh dear." He said hurrying. He ran out to the car and hopped inside. He started it and backed out and drove off.
He was driving when he notice a guy selling hot dogs. "I could so use one." He said and it orbed to his hand. "Good baby." he said an date it. Pulled in the drive way and stepped out of the car and walked inside. He walked to the sitting room and Piper and the girls sat there. "Hey. Had to come back." he said. "What happened? You ok?" Asked Leo. "Yeah but the little dumpling is really powerful. I am not burping up bubbles and she orbed me a hotdog when I was hungry." he said and looked at the boxes on the table. "Where.." He started to say. "Paige orbed to your house and took them." Phoebe said as he kneeled by the table and opened his treasure box. He opened it and took out the locket and opened it. "She was beautiful." he said showing Piper. "That she was." Leo said looking at it then handed it to Phoebe. "What was here name?" Asked Paige tearing to. "Rita Fae Lindsey. Mom didn't like her much. They fought a lot especially about me. Mom thought I was worthless and she was my best friend." He said and looked at the box of ashes. He pulled it into his arms and held it. "She used to run her finger's through my hair as we'd fall asleep. I loved her so much." he cried and they were all to. "We know sweetie. So does she." Piper said.
"Mom just pushed her aside when she became ill. But I sat with her. Feeding her, bathing her, and everything else. She was that important to me." He said. Leo got down and hugged him as he cried. The girl's watched crying with him. He reached for the locket and put it on. He saw his grams diamond barret, ring, and her bracelot. He reached for them and stood up with Leo and walke dover to the sisters. "She would want you all to have these." He said. He put the ring on Piper's finger, Barret in Phoebe's hair, and Braclot on Paiges wrist. "We can't take these." Piper said. He shock his head. "Their your's. You guys have saved me and I want you to have a bit of her with you. Help he look out for you to." He said and they hugged him.
Leo was walking into the kitchen when he heard music and turned walking to the sitting room. He saw Zane dancing allow holding his belly and singing a bit. Leo smiled as Piper came up and saw they watched. He was singing all about you and sounded amazing. When the song stopped he turned and jumped. "I sware." he smiled and they laughed. "That was great singing Zane." Piper said and he smiled blushing. "No really. You have to sing at the club." Piper said pleading. "No!" he said and walked away. "But please?" She gave him a pouty lip. "Ok next week.' he said. "Yay!" She said and hugged him as he rolled his eyes. "What we yay for?" Asked Phoebe walking in the front door. "Zane is going to sing at P3 next week." That's awesome. I'm coming." She said and he smiled.
That night Zane sat with the book making some potions for the stores and Piper walked up. "You don't have to do that." She said stepping up to pitch in. "Oh I don't mind. Tell you the truth this helps me think and everything." he said and she nodded. "So how's the baby?" She asked. "Just fine. No more orbing random things of bubbles." he laughed and she smiled. "Good." She said as she added some merdock to the potion. He was grinding more Mandrake when a man walked up the stairs. "Dad!" Piper said running over to hug him. "Hey Piper. Weren't you pregnant?" He asked. "Oh about that. Dad meet Zane. He's a cousin from moms side." Piper said and he walked up. "Drop the glamour sweetie." She said and it fell. Victor gapped and pointed. "He agreed to play surrogate so I could do the charmed duties." Piper smiled. "Oh. So Zane. How'd you get here?" Asked Victor. "I'll explain all that whiloe I take you down to see your other daughter and son in law." She said and Zane waved bye to them.
"So he came to you when his family threw him out?" Asked Victor as Phoebe hugged him apon entering the kitchen. "Yeah. He's become a brother to them." Said Leo and they all three smiled. "Whats he like?" Asked Victor. "very sweet and smart. Already been through college." Phoebe said. "What's he doing for work?" Asked Victor impressed. "He's taking a break since he's carrying in the baby. Plus he's still got a lot of emotional baggage." Said Paige. "Yeah. Poor kid." Victor said. "he's getting better though. I forced him into a spa day." Piper said getting the roast out of the oven. "That's good. But tell me how he's carrying your baby." Said Victor confused. "Oh a spell." Said Piper. "You used a spell to transferr my grandchild to him?" Asked Victor. "It was safe. As long as the host is willing it's completely safe." Piper said and he sighed in releif.
