Chapter 1: The Daily Grind
The shrill sound of the alarm broke the occupant out of the deep sleep he was in. Damn it's 7am already I just got to bed at 1. Wyatt Halliwell thought to himself as he slapped the alarm off, uncovered himself, and threw his feet on the floor.
He padded out of his room and down the hall letting his nose lead him to the coffee in the kitchen.
"Morning sunshine." his brother Chris said handing him a cup of coffee.
"Chris how the hell is it that you're this alert at 7 am?" Wyatt asked annoyed that his little brother's alertness was getting to him so much.
"Very simple Wy he hasn't been to bed yet he just got off work." the only female occupant in the apartment said walking into the kitchen.
"Morning Prue." both brothers said greeting their cousin.
"Where's he at Chris ? If anyone knows you do." Prue asked pouring herself a cup of coffee.
"Don't tell me he went on his famous after work run it's the middle of August it's hotter than hell out right now." Wyatt said disbelief written on his face.
"You guys know Bubba that's how he unwinds after work. The kicker is he got Mel to go with him this morning." Chris said laughing at the thought.
"Chris you let our baby sister go out and run with our freak of a cousin?" Wyatt asked
Chris just gave an innocent smile and a shrug.
Piper Halliwell was standing at the stove making breakfast when she heard the back door open the only thing she knew it wasn't was a demon they never used the door.
"I don't know how many more days I can do this it's getting really hot." Piper recognized the voice as that of her youngest child Melinda Paige Halliwell.
"Come on Mel it only took us 45 minutes that's damn good time." Piper knew that voice too it belonged to her oldest nephew Henry Victor Matthews Jr.
"How did it go this morning you two?" Piper asked as they both came into the kitchen
"It was murder that's how it went Bubba here is trying to slowly murder me." Melinda complained shooting her cousin death rays.
"She's doing really good Aunt Piper she'll break the school's cross country record for sure she stayed right on my hip the whole time." Henry said beaming with pride at his favorite female cousin.
"Sure that's easy for you to say Hank you're used to this shit. Mom next time I decide to get a Marine to help me train remind me of this." Melinda said still not at all happy with her cousin.
Piper just laughed at the exchange and then asked "You want to stay for breakfast Henry ?".
"Only if you don't mind Aunt Piper it's Wyatt's day to cook breakfast so I rather not go back to the apartment him and Chris will get into how he shouldn't cook." Henry said shuddering at the thought of Wyatt's cooking.
"Of course I don't mind if you stay Henry as a matter of fact call your cousins and have them come over for breakfast. I know what Wyatt is like he's not allowed in my kitchen for a reason." Piper said not knowing where she went wrong with him.
"Wyatt, Chris, Prue Aunt Piper wants you to orb over here for breakfast." Henry sent his cousins telepathically.
"Be there in just a minute Bubba." Chris sent back to him.
"They'll be here in just a second Aunt Piper." Henry informed her just as a swirl of orbs appeared in the kitchen.
The orbs cleared to reveal Wyatt, Chris and Prue with an arm around each brother. In Chris's hand he held a doughnut with a candle sticking in it. "Well come on Bubba blow out the candle and make a wish today is your birthday after all." Chris said handing his cousin the doughnut.
Henry took it from him blew out the candle and said "I ought to kill you guys. Aunt Piper you let them set me up didn't you."
"Well maybe I did maybe I didn't I can't say for sure. But I will tell to watch out for your mother." Piper said smiling sweetly.
"Here Hank I got you something." Melinda said handing her cousin a bag.
"Mel you didn't have to do this." Henry said pulling a pair of Under Armor batting gloves out of the bag and hugging her.
"Yes I did. Besides I knew you wanted those since you saw them that morning we ran past that store." Melinda explained to him.
"Thanks Mel you're the best trainee I've ever had you actually listen unlike a certain older female cousin of yours." Henry said gesturing towards Prue who didn't even notice him.
"Leonardo Roosevelt Lincoln Wyatt breakfast is done get your former angel ass in here now." Piper ordered her husband
Leo came running into the kitchen from the garage where he was working on another piece of junk car. "What I'm here I was busy." he complained to his wife until he saw all the kids and he add "Oh hey kids.".
"Breakfast is ready and if you want food you better eat now you did notice who is here." Piper said gesturing to Henry, Wyatt, and Chris as she sat food on the table.
"No way Aunt Piper you made all my favorites bacon, french toast , and eggs. How did you know what I like ?" Henry asked excited.
"Henry your mother can't cook therefore since you been big enough you've come over here for breakfast every morning. So I think I know what you like by now." Piper explained to her nephew if the truth be told he was her favorite nephew but she didn't let him or C.J. know that.
"So what do you kids have on the agenda for today ?" Leo asked his three kids his niece and nephew.
"Well daddy Val, Carly, Patty, and I are going to the mall to hang out for a little bit." Melinda said.
"Uncle Leo I have to be at work at 10 or Aunt Paige will kill me." Prue explained.
"What about you three boys." Piper asked.
"Let's see I'm going to go meet Liz at her apartment and me her Ro and Chuck are supposed to watch movies all day." Wyatt said.
"I'm going home and going bed I just got off work." Chris stated simply.
"That's my plan too we don't have a shift for another three days." Henry explained.
"Good Henry I bought you a card to give your mother tonight since I know you forgot. Second off that means you two can get haircuts and shave." Piper said happily.
"Aunt Piper I can get a haircut but I can't shave we're undercover right now." Henry explained hoping to appease her.
"Bubba is right mom a haircut we could do with but we can't shave." Chris agreed.
"Good I can take you guys to get haircuts after breakfast then you can go home and sleep." Piper said triumphantly.
"May I ask why the boys need haircuts ?" Leo asked looking his wife in the eye knowing she was up to something.
"Because they look like bums and they need to look presentable for dinner tonight." Piper explained to Leo like he was a child.
"Whose all coming to dinner tonight Aunt Piper?" Prue asked afraid of what her aunt was going to say.
"Your Grandpa, Your mom, Your dad, maybe Sam." Piper said waiting to see Henry's reaction he took it worse than she thought he would.
"Sam I have to sit through dinner with Sam Aunt Piper ?" Henry asked gesturing with is left hand and then the clock above the stove where he had pointed blew up.
"Aunt Piper I realize I upset you but you didn't have to do that." Henry said baffled
"Henry that wasn't me or Mel I think that was you." Piper explained to him calmly.
"Aunt Piper that's not even possible I have my mom's powers." Henry said still upset and gesturing wildly this time he blew up a plate sitting on the counter.
Leo got up from the table walked over to his nephew and put his hands at his sides "Ok Hank I think maybe you better put you hands in your pockets when you get upset at least until you learn to control your new powers." he explained gently.
Henry just shook his head and put his hands in his pockets and then asked "Aunt Piper how is that possible ?"

"So what are going to do today sweetie." Henry Mitchell Sr asked his wife.
"I'm going to go to work for about two hours and them I'm going to go see my Bubba for his birthday." Paige said.
Henry wanted to say something but he didn't he knew his son was a momma's boy but Paige still had the tendency to go overboard but he just didn't have the heart to tell her. So instead he said "That's nice. I wonder what the girls are doing today."
"Going to the mall with Mel and Val." Carly said coming into the room.
"Be sure you're home in time to go to the manor you know your brother's birthday is today. And besides your grandpa Sam is going to be there." Paige told her daughter.
"Well then I wouldn't expect Junior to be there if grandpa Sam is going to be there." Carly said suppressing a smirk.
"Carly Janice watch it." Henry warned her.
"We'll be there on time and we'll meet you there Mel is going to talk Junior into letting us use his car." she explained.
"Hank is never going to go for it Carly he loves that car." Patty said to her twin sister as she entered the room.
"He will if you and Mel ask him he loves you two more than he loves that car." Carly argued back.
Patty's response was cut off as the phone started ringing and she went to get it "Mom it's Aunt Piper she needs to talk to you." she said a minute later.
Paige put the phone to ear and listened a minute before saying "Alright I grab Phoebe and be right over bye."
"What's the matter Paige?" Henry asked concern written all over his face.
"It's little Henry he got a new power Piper's to be exact." Paige explained and then went over and kissed Henry and said "So I have to go get Phoebe don't be late that goes for all three of you. Henry have a good day work. Carly and Patty behave yourselves or I'll unleash Aunt Piper on you have fun." she kissed each twin then orbed out.
"Man do I feel sorry for your brother part of me wants to warn him but I think he can suffer he doesn't have to live here anymore." Henry said to his two girls.
"Not that I'm not grateful that she doesn't smother us that bad but why doesn't she ?" Carly asked
"Because he's her Bubba you heard her say it. Most of the time he likes it when she goes crazy over him unless he's in one of what I like to call his 'Paige' moods and acting exactly like your mother." Henry explained.
Then knowing the drill he pulled out two credit cards and said "Remember this is our secret don't tell your mom we do this then we'll all be in trouble and both of you get Hank something for his birthday. Whatever you do behave that wasn't an idle threat about your Aunt Piper."
"Thank you daddy." they both said in unison orbing out to the manor.
Phoebe and Coop were sitting in their kitchen worrying about where little Coop was when Paige orbed in.
"Hey Paige you wouldn't happen to know where my son is would you ?" Coop asked hoping she knew something
"No I don't know Coop I can get Henry to try to sense for him he hardly ever completely blocks him like he does me. Phoebe we'll find him I promise he's probably just off somewhere with Chuck." Paige explained.
"Thanks Paige that's what I'm worried about they get into all kind of trouble together. Now why are you here?" Phoebe asked feeling a little better.
"We have to go to the manor Henry got a new power." Paige said.
"Coop I'll call you if I find him anywhere so you can beat him if you still want to." Phoebe said kissing her husband.
"Trust me I want to." Coop said smiling.
Paige put her arm around Phoebe and they orbed out.
Henry was still standing with his hands in his pockets when his mom and Aunt Phoebe orbed in his two sisters had orbed in a little while before them.
"Piper have you heard from C.J. today ?" Phoebe asked
"No Pheebs he's normally here by this time to try to scrounge up food." Piper said laughing.
"Coop and I can't find him anywhere." Phoebe explained and then she asked "Prue have you saw your brother at all this week.".
" I just saw him last night and he was fine he was supposed to let me borrow his car today to go to work. Mom he's probably with Chuck doing only God knows what." Prue said giving her opinion of what her brother was doing.
"I'll try to sense for him he never blocks me out." Henry said taking his hands out of his pockets and crossing his arms.
"Henry hands back in your pockets now." Piper ordered him.
He did as his aunt told him and then said "C.J. is in the attic.".
"How do you know that?" Phoebe asked
"Nobody else heard the book hit the floor it must not be letting him touch it today." Henry explained. Then he called "Book." and the book appeared in his hands and he set on the table.
Next he called "Demon Boy." and waved his hand causing C.J. to land on his ass in the floor.
"Hank you know I hate when you do that." C.J. yelled at him he then looked up to see his mom and smiled innocently.
But Phoebe wasn't buying it "Where have you been Cooper Jacob your father is furious with you, you haven't been to work all week."
"I've been busy a demon attacked it was no big deal me and Chuck took care of it." C.J. explained to his mother.
"You should have told someone." Phoebe said simply concentrating on calling Coop who suddenly appeared in the room.
Coop gave his son a look and C.J. went and put his hand on his dad's shoulder and allowed him
to heart them out.
" I wish he listened to me like that." Phoebe mused.
"Alright I don't mean to be a pain in the ass but can we fix me I want to be able to take my hands out of my pockets." Henry complained .
"What exactly happened Bubba?" Paige asked a little worried about her son
"I got excited started making hand gestures and things started going boom." he explained keeping it simple.
"Mel and I tested both our powers work I just think his powers grew." Piper said purposely knocking a glass off the table causing Henry to freeze it.
"Why me ? Why now ? I have good control over my powers." Henry groaned
"What set him off Piper so we know to avoid it if at all possible?" Phoebe asked
"Oh well you see Pheebs I might have mentioned Sam right before he started blowing stuff up." Piper admitted sheepishly.
"That's easy enough to avoid just make sure dad sits next to Hank at dinner tonight and we should be fine." Phoebe analyzed.
"That and I might have told him and Chris they needed to get a haircut and shave." Piper said.
"Piper you know they can't shave that could get them killed." Paige said in disbelief and then went on "Their hair isn't even that long either not as long as it was two months ago when they were working that other case."
"Let me guess Big Henry is looking out for his two little buddies in blue so we don't pick on them." Piper said wryly.
"Bingo." Paige said
"But how do we fix me ?" Henry asked
"Through practice when you finish running every morning me or Mel can help you with your powers deal?" Piper asked
"Deal but how do I keep it in check at work ?" He asked afraid of exposure.
"Keep your hands in your pockets til you learn to control your powers." Piper said slowly.
"Ok Aunt Piper I'll do that." Henry agreed.
A sound of mass giggling could be heard as all the teenage Halliwell girls entered the room Henry knew right away that this was bad news.
"Hank can we please borrow your car ?" Melinda begged her older cousin.
"You want to borrow my car ?"Henry asked swinging his left hand causing a vase to explode.
"See Carly I told you he'd never go for it." Patty told her sister
"Fine Charlie you guys can borrow my car on one condition Mel drives and doesn't even think of letting Carly sit in the front seat. Deal Charlie ?" Henry ranted
"Deal Bubba." Patty agreed
"Mel I'm serious this car is a classic '69 Mustang Fastback you're the only one I trust to drive it." Henry said not really wanting to loan out his baby.
"I got I'll drive it like I would my mom's car." Mel promised
All five teenage girls walked up hugged him and said "Thank you Hank"
Henry just gave Carly a warning look and said "I mean it Carly I saw what you did to dad's car."
"C. Perry want to orb with me to get my truck so we can go home and get some sleep ?" Henry asked his favorite male cousin
"Bubba I thought you would never ask." was Chris's response.
"Hey you two boys don't be late dinner starts at 7 pm or let me put it in terms you two understand it starts at 1900 sharp." Piper informed them making use of their military training.
"We've got it 1900 sharp Mam." They both said in unison as they orbed out to Paige and Big Henry's house to get Hank's truck.
" I really wish he would resolve his issues with Sam just being in the same room as little Henry when his name is mentioned gives me a headache." Phoebe complained.
"You and me both sister is getting to the point I don't know what to do about it." Paige said.
"You do know that forcing the issue with Hank just makes it worse. He'll come around in his own time." Piper said hoping her sisters would buy it.
"We can only hope. I could always get dad to talk to him." Paige said simply.
"Chip open this damn door right now!" Prue yelled waiting for the person on the other side of the door to open up.
"How many times do I have to tell you don't call me Chip when you're screaming at me?" a dark headed young man yelled back at her as he opened the door to his apartment and let her inside.
"Forgive me if I'm not in the mood to follow your rules right now. Damn it Chuck just what the fuck have you and my brother been up to all week ? Mom is starting to ask questions and dad got a hold of C.J. this morning. I can't keep lying for you guys all the time to everybody." Prue demanded.
"Look I can't tell you what happened this week it was just complicated but it's over now so let's drop it." Chuck said hoping to get her off his case.
"Fine consider it dropped. But I haven't seen my boyfriend all week and he hasn't even kissed me yet that could be a very big problem for me." Prue said smiling at him.
"Well that's because your boyfriend is a stupid, stupid man that hopes his wonderful girlfriend will forgive him." Chuck said as he leaned down and kissed her on the lips.
"You know we shouldn't be doing this right now Wyatt could orb in at any minute to get you to go to Liz's and catch us." Prue explained to him as she pulled away.
"Let him catch us I need you so bad right now." Chuck said as he tenderly lifted her into his arms and carried her to his bedroom.
"We have to hurry I have to go to work soon." was the only thing Prue said to him as he leaned in and kissed her again.
"Alright Cooper Jacob do you want to tell me what the hell you were thinking avoiding your mother and I all week when we could have helped you with this demon that was after you ?" Coop asked his son pointedly.
"Dad it was no big deal it was one little demon me and Chuck had it under control I swear." C.J. ranted on trying to convince his dad.
"Well I notice that Chuck still managed to find time to go to work and make his daily appearance here looking for food." Coop said not relenting.
"I'm a big boy now dad I can take care of myself. Don't worry I'm not going to turn into Cole dad I would never do that I just need you and mom to trust me." C.J. begged.
"I know that you're my son than you ever were his I just want you to be safe. You're my only son whose supposed to take my side against your mom and sisters if something happens to you. Going to the underworld is not like those six months you spent in Europe last year. Now that's all I'm going to say about it but I want you to know your mom talked me out of beating you. I love you son I just want you here with me." Coop said tears springing to his eyes as he pulled his son into a hug he whispered "you're my baby boy little Coop.".
"I love you too. You're my main man Big Coop." C.J. replied man he felt like dog shit lying to his dad like that but it was for his own good.
"Come on let's go to work you're the second best cupid I know and there's a lot of people who
could use your help." Coop stated proudly
"Whose the best cupid you know dad ?" C.J. asked curious
"Well I am of course." Coop said smirking.
"Mel Henry is going to kill us when he finds out the only reason we wanted to borrow his car was to impress some guys." Patty said knowing her big brother very well.
"No Hank would kill Penny first if he or Prue found out that she's messing with a guy just because he drives a car like this." Melinda explained.
"Mel explain to me how long you think we can spy on my sister without her noticing." Val demanded.
"We're not spying we're just making sure she's ok then we're going to go to the mall like we told everybody and the only way to do it was in Junior's car." Carly said siding with Mel.
The girls were currently on a old abandoned lot that held a bunch of cars as old as Henry's if not
older. And they were currently watching out for fifteen year old Penny Halliwell Phoebe and Coop's youngest daughter. Who was at the present time was dating a seventeen year old nicknamed Torch who stole most of the cars present on the lot. He looked like the type of guy that little Henry and Chris arrested and the kind that was a parolee of Uncle Henry's.
Normally in that situation they would just call C.J. he was cool he wouldn't flip out on them like the others would. But they had tried that all week and they couldn't get a hold of him. So they had resorted to this
"Here you guys go talk to Penny and I'll keep Henry's car safe by making a diversion." Carly said unbuttoning the top two buttons on her shirt.
"Carly your brother would kill you dead if he could see you right now." Mel said smiling and taking the other girls and walking over to Penny.
At the present time Torch had his hands a Penny's ass and was sticking his tongue down her throat. Which caused Val to comment " I think C.J. would even kill her this time if he can get to before Prue does. Because when Prue finds out she's going to kill Torch and Penny."
"We know Val that's what we're trying to prevent." Mel stated dryly and then added looking back at Carly "and we better hurry it looks like Carly has company."
"Where the hell could Chuck be you guys he was supposed to be here fifteen minutes ago." Wyatt raved to Liz, Roman, and Lilly who at the last moment had decided to join them today.
As if Chuck heard Wyatt talking about him he walked through the front door of Liz's apartment looking disheveled and sleep deprived. "What traffic was a bitch I wanted to drive over since I have to go to work for a little bit later Piper wants me to manage both clubs while you guys have dinner." Chuck explained.
"Chuck you're forgiven if you brought gummy bears." Roman said matter factly.
"That I did Ro." Chuck said pulling a pack of gummy bears out of the bag he was carrying.
"Chuck you're the tie breaker The Godfather or Good Fellas ?" Liz asked him sweetly
"Talk to Wyatt and Ro it was their turn to pick." Lilly said when Chuck raised an eyebrow.
"Prue you're fifteen minutes late." Paige said to her niece as she sat down at her desk in South Bay Social Services.
"I would have been here on time but Henry won't let me drive his truck so I had to beg my brother to borrow his car." Prue explained hoping her aunt bought it.
"Try to stick as close to the truth as possible when lying this morning you said your brother told you last night you could borrow his car. And I know Henry doesn't let you drive the Mustang either so don't act like it's just the truck he won't let you drive. Whoever he is, he sure must be good in bed to get you to smile like that. But I'm sure you'll tell your favorite aunt who he is when you're ready." Paige said giving her a knowing look.
"I have no idea what you're talking about Aunt Paige." Prue said innocently.
"Sure you don't. Get to work slacker." Paige ordered giving her a wink and going back to her office.
Prue didn't like lying to everyone in her family about who she was dating and if she was so transparent that Aunt Paige could see through her and ask questions then everyone else had noticed too.
And then she thought to herself "Aunt Paige you already know him better than you know you do." This thought caused her mind to drift back to earlier that morning in Chuck's bed she knew he and C.J. were hiding something she just didn't know what.
Chuck and Prue were laying in his bed after the most satisfying round of sex either of them had ever had and she was running her hand over his washboard stomach when she noticed the big cut he had there.
"Chip just what are you and Jake up to you don't get a cut like that from just one demon." Prue had asked using her pet names for her boyfriend and brother hoping he would answer.
"Me and Coop are fine baby I promise I just had a little mishap with some talons that's all." Chuck had assured her.
"Fine don't tell me now just don't keep lying to me Chip. Now promise me you'll have one of the boys heal you." she had badgered him.
"I promise don't worry." he said giving her a deep tender kiss.
"Then how come I'm still worried ?" She asked herself taking a deep breath. She was pulled out of her thoughts by the ringing phone on her desk.
"South Bay Social Services." she answered absent mindedly wishing she was anywhere else right then. She had a boyfriend and a brother to worry about she would have to Chris and Henry to help her.
