Chapter 1: Resurrection
Leo and Piper were sitting at the kitchen table. She was feeding Jack a bottle and Leo was reading his paper. Prue and Andy were there as well they were both tending to their twins. Paige and Henry were both fussing over Alan. Jimmy was standing at the stove cooking.
Jake shimmered in with Phil in his arms and a diaper bag slung over his shoulder. "What the hell is this a whitelighter's support group?" he asked looking around. He knew that Jimmy was a whitelighter sine he had been back two days.
"I'm starting to think so you, me, and Phil are the only people in this room without any whitelighter blood in us." Piper told him with a smile.
"Wonderful," Jake commented dryly rolling his blue eyes. "Phil this is what Jakie was telling you about earlier we love all our whitelighter relatives but they have a tendency to get on your nerves. And that is saying a lot Prue is our big sister." he told his baby brother.
"Jake why do you have Phil?" Paige asked her nephew.
"He kept mom and dad up all night and he woke up early this morning so I volunteered to take him for a little while." Jake explained to his aunt.
"Right and how many bad things have you told him about your sister so far today?" Prue asked him she was highly amused.
Jake grinned from ear to ear. "Only the most important thing he needs to know. If Prue starts begging him to do something he shouldn't do it because it is more than likely a horrible idea."
"Coop I honestly think that you have missed fighting with your sister." Henry told him.
"I have not you have to be kidding Uncle Hen two days without having to hear Prue's voice is like music to my ears." Jake corrected him.
"Bullshit you've had no one to fight with for two days. Well you have Val but something tells me that that just isn't the same for you." Leo couldn't help but laugh at him.
Jake shrugged "You have no idea I can actually win an argument with Val and the names she calls me aren't nearly as good as the one's that Prue can come up with." He didn't see where there was any harm in admitting that he missed fighting with his sister.
"Wow, that is nice to know Coop the next time you two are in the middle of one of your battles I'm going to remind you of this." Andy smirked at him.
Jake more or less ignored them because he was watching Jimmy cook. "Aunt Piper since when do you let anyone else cook in your kitchen?" he asked a little confused.
"She has a soft spot for me she lets me do what I want." Jimmy answered Jake giving him a smile. He had a southern accent so thick that it could be cut with a knife.
"Yeah right we wish James I keep an eye on you at all times." Piper told him playfully.
Jake looked back and forth between them. "Aunt Piper am I missing something here?" he asked.
"Jake once upon a time I had a really good head chef even better than the one I have now. That was until the idiot got killed on me." Piper said pointing to Jimmy.
"Wait a minute Jimmy was a chef too?" Jake asked trying to make sure he had it all straight in his head.
"I'm not just a chef I can cook in three different languages at the same time in my sleep." Jimmy reported proudly his blue eyes sparkling.
Jake arched an eyebrow and cocked his head to the side. "I am so confused right now that it isn't funny."
"In answer to the question that I know is burning in your brain right now yes Roman inherited his cooking skills from Jimmy. With a little bit more practice he will be better than Jimmy could ever think about being." Piper told him.
"That clears that up. But I was wondering something more along the lines of if he is a chef then why the hell do I have to choke down some of the shit that Lilly makes?" Jake replied.
"Look at your cousin Wyatt he isn't even allowed to think about making toast in my kitchen. He is a fire hazard waiting to happen." Piper informed him.
"So have you told Lilly that he's back yet?" Prue asked him making conversation.
"No but I figured I would do better than tell I thought I would just show her." Jake replied.
As if on cue Lilly walked in the door and yelled "Jake are you here?"
"Yeah I'm in the kitchen." Jake yelled his reply.
Lilly came walking in the kitchen a moment later she didn't see Jimmy at first because she was focused on Jake. She kissed him and then she took Phil from him. "Hi Phil I heard that your brother had you today." And she kissed him on the head before turning back to Jake. "So what was so important that I had to meet you here?" she asked.
"Well look over at the stove." Jake said pointing at Jimmy.
"Hi Lilly." Jimmy said giving her a shy wave.
"Jakie you could have just told that Jimmy was here I wouldn't have blown a gasket you have me confused with my brother." Lilly told him sighing.
"That's it you're not going to have a melt down?" Jake asked to be sure.
"No Jakie I'm fine Roman is the one that might have a blow up." Lilly assured him and then she turned to Jimmy. "What are you doing here Jimmy?" she asked.
"Oh, I'm a whitelighter now." Jimmy answered.
"Right because of the prophecy that the kids have." Lilly said nodding in understanding. "Jakie we've talked about you keeping things from me."
"Lilly I didn't want to do it they made me. I wanted to tell you but they said give it a couple of days." Jake said defensively.
"I'm not mad at you Jake I just wish you would have told me." Lilly said kissing him on the nose.
"Yay, just what I wanted to see after working a long shift." Mel said sarcastically rolling her eyes as she came in the side door followed by Chris and Hank.
"Ignore her she has been like this all night." Chris said helping himself to a cup of coffee from the pot.
"You've both been crab asses all night Jay and I deserve a medal for putting up with the two of you." Hank pointed out to his cousin.
"When you are forced to stay in your childhood home against your will you can talk to me about being crabby." Chris said he wasn't happy to be staying at the manor but they were trying to give Prue and Chuck some alone time.
"I do recall that I was forced to stay in the manor right after I got shot it wasn't fun for me." Hank reminded him.
"Chris it's not like you have to stay here. You could go stay with Rachel." Mel pointed out to him.
"No I can't that would be weird." Chris said blushing.
"Why would it be weird C. Perry?" Hank asked him his eyebrow cocked.
"Let's just say that I haven't hit a grand slam yet." Chris said speaking in baseball euphemisms.
"So exactly where are you at then?" Mel asked her brother.
"Let's just say I got a standup triple and I've been stuck on third for a while." Chris replied.
"I hate it when that happens because then it means I'm probably going to have to steal home." Mel said with a straight face.
"Melinda Paige." Hank said looking at his cousin incredulously.
"Hank get your mind out of the gutter I was talking about base running I don't know what you two perverts are talking about." Mel said as she busted out laughing.
"Mel you just beat the brothers from another mother at their own game you should be very proud of yourself." Paige said high fiving her niece.
"Believe me I am." Mel assured her aunt.
"The girl is getting impossible to live with." Chris joked with his sister.
"Now it's not my fault that you can't go back to your apartment so don't take it out on me Mr. Halliwell." Mel told her brother playfully.
"No we're giving Prue and Chuck alone married people time we don't want to be under the same roof as them right now. It was bad enough when they were just dating." Hank said coming to Chris's defense.
"Please they have to be better than Wy and Liz. I haven't slept in my own apartment in two days I can't take the nonstop cuteness from those two. I almost puked when I walked in on them feeding each other. I have been at my mom's house where it is safe." Lilly compared with them.
"Ok, something needs to be done about those four when it is better to risk death by seeing parental nookie than stay under the same roof as them it is bad." Chris said with a tone of authority.
"We have more important things to worry about today. Like we got volunteered to move Val into her apartment today." Hank reminded him.
"Bullshit we worked last night." Chris protested.
"I'm helping too and so is Wy I think that we can manage it." Jake said rolling his eyes.
"Really you're going to help your sister move while you have Phil?" Lilly asked him an amused look on her face.
"Yes because I was hoping you would help me keep an eye on him. I thought it would be good practice for us." Jake smiled at her.
"I think that you just presumed a lot with that sentence. Your first presumption was that I will help you watch your brother. And your second presumption is I want to have kids with you." Lilly teased him. Sure there was a time she would have been thrilled that he wanted to have kids with her but now because of her own stupidity they were just getting back into the groove.
"You know you want to have my babies Lila. And you want to help me watch Phil because you know you can't get enough of the two of us and our profound hotness." Jake gave her a smile that showed all his perfect white teeth.
"I was only playing with you of course I'll help you watch him and I do want to have your babies Cooper." Lilly said kissing him chastely since all of his aunts were in the room.
"Hey Mellie where are you?" Roman called coming through the front door.
"Shit," Mel cussed "I knew I forgot to talk to him. Hank just stand in front of Jimmy for a minute I'll break it to him as gently as I can." She ordered her older cousin. "I'm in the kitchen babe." She called back to him.
Roman came into the kitchen with a dopey smile on his face a moment later. He had a blue bandanna tied around his head and his clothes were covered in flour. He looked like he was asleep on his feet. "Hi babe." He said when Mel wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips to his.
"Roman James what the hell have you been doing?" Mel asked him sounding amused.
"I had to roll dough don't even asked I decided to mess with the menu a little bit and it involved me spending most of the night baking bread." Roman explained to her.
"We'll discuss you changing the menu without telling me later because I'm the manager and you do need to advise me of such things. But that is besides the point right now. Ro I don't know how to say it so give me a minute." Mel replied.
"Mel if you have something to tell me you can just come out and say it." Roman looked her in the eyes to see if he could tell what was wrong with her.
"I'll just show you, Hank step aside." Mel ordered her cousin.
Roman's eyes went wide when he saw the man standing at the stove. He did a double take it was seriously like looking in a mirror for him. He knew that the man could only be one person. "Dad?" he asked his voice barely above a whisper.
Jimmy let his eyes drink in the sight of his only son. He had dreamed of this moment for years and now he found that his words were failing him. "Heya, Huckleberry," he drawled softly.

"Hails I swear it shouldn't take this long for you to get ready to go down to the manor. Even Carly is ready before you that is saying something. The only thing we're going to be doing today is moving shit for Val." Patty yelled at her.
Hailey appeared in the living room a moment later in a pair of jean shorts and an old ratty t-shirt. "Charlie I'm not trying to look cute if that is what you're insinuating. Does anything look wrong with this picture to you?" she asked pointing at herself.
"Honey I see a lot wrong with that picture but it's nothing a little makeup and a wardrobe change won't fix." Carly said after looking at her with an appraising eye.
Hailey rolled her bright blue eyes at her cousin. "Ha, ha very funny Carly but that's not what I'm talking about."
Patty really looked at her cousin now. She found nothing wrong at first Hailey's blonde hair was tied back in a ponytail so it would stay out of her way. There was nothing wrong with her shirt or shorts either. She did a double take when she got to her feet. She had one shoe on and one shoe off. "Hails, sweetie where is your other shoe?" she asked.
Hailey threw her hands up in the air and sighed. "If I knew that I wouldn't still be running around the house like an idiot looking for it."
"Hailey I have an extra pair of tennis shoes you can borrow them I'm sure a fairy or something like that is just messing with you." Patty told her gently.
"Would a nymph by chance have a reason to join forces with a fairy?" Hailey asked as something dawned on her.
Patty thought about it for a moment. "Sure they are sorta like cousins so it isn't odd for them to help each other out." She said after thinking it over.
Hailey groaned "I'm going to kill that overgrown infant when I get my hands on him." She raged.
"Who?" Patty and Carly asked in unison.
"Puck he is the only person I know who would get some sick pleasure out of telling his little fairy friends to hide one of my shoes." Hailey reasoned.
Carly started laughing uncontrollably and Hailey frowned at her. "I'm sorry Hails I didn't mean to laugh but you have to admit it's a little funny. Just as soon as we see him I'll have Mel make him tell you where your other shoe is."
Patty went to get her other pair of shoes and then she handed them to Hailey "Put those on so we can go. I don't know about you but I for one want to eat before we have to move all this shit."
"Thanks Charlie. I'm still going to kill Huck when I get my hands on him I don't care how much Penny cares about him he is a dead man." Hailey swore.
"Jimmy no one told me that you were here." Nicole said hugging her old friend after she shimmered into the room with Cole.
"Well I've only been back about two days. I think they were all bracing themselves for this reunion you know what's it's like when the two of us are in the room together." Jimmy replied giving her a smile.
Cole looked to his friends with his eyebrow cocked in a question. "Don't even try to make sense of it Cole. Those two could always hold a conversation that no one else in the room could follow. It's something about those damn southerners when they get excited like that they are hard as hell to understand." Eva told him with a grin.
Derek threw his head back and laughed. "No you can understand Nic on her own and Jimmy isn't hard to understand when he's on his own. But you get the two of them together and it's like they're speaking another language."
"We are standing right here you know?" Nicole asked sarcastically.
"It's the truth mom it's a miracle that Lizzie and I don't both have messed up accents like yours." Troy pointed out to his mother.
Liz scowled at her older brother. "Shut up Troy we've talked about not pissing her off right now." she reminded him.
"Lizzie no one ever accused your brother of being smart." Wyatt reasoned with her.
"Jakie was Phil good for you this morning?" Phoebe asked her son.
"Yeah he was fine we had a heart to heart we both feel better about it now." Jake told her seriously.
Coop chuckled "Right, did this talk have something to do with a certain sister of yours?" he asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about dad. I may or may not have told Phil never to do something just because Prue asks him to but that is neither here nor there. Which reminds me tomorrow we need to talk about how to handle Val and Penny." Jake replied he was being dead serious that was what was so funny.
"Shut up Jake." Val and Penny told their brother in unison.
"So I hate to ask this but what the hell are we supposed to do with Chuck's stuff that we have to move?" Hank asked.
"Not that either of them are answering the phone because I called the apartment and both their cell phones and they didn't answer but that isn't the point. The point right now is that I left a message for them to meet us here I can't make any promises though." Chris said rolling his eyes.
Rachel squeezed his hand. "Chris don't roll your eyes." She chided him.
Bianca arched an eyebrow at her cousin. "Good luck with that one Rach I will be impressed if you can stop him from rolling his eyes and pacing."
"Oh, boy here we go again." Calleigh commented dryly.
"I don't know why you're being like that Cal. I personally think that we need to have another in depth discussion about how those two things are hereditary and we can't help it." Parker laughed.
Just then Prue and Chuck shimmered into the room. Not that they were aware that there were other people in the room because she had her arms wrapped around his neck and they were making out for all they were worth.
Jake's eyes lit up like a little kid on Christmas morning and he cleared his throat as loud as he could causing the two of them to break apart.
"It's so nice of you two to be able to join us this morning." Chris said sarcastically.
"What's a eight letter word for annoyingly, sickeningly, disgustingly, nauseatingly, cute?" Lilly asked like it was a serious question.
"Marriage, if you don't believe me I can spell it out and count the letters for you." Mel replied just as seriously.
Prue didn't take her eyes off of Chuck to reply. "The three of you can shut up." She said.
"I have a very serious question for you two. Is it safe for me to come back to the apartment yet? I'm running out of clean clothes." Henry Jr. asked.
Chuck pulled his eyes away from Prue long enough to answer. "No one ever told you to leave you can come back any time you want to."
Hank thought it over for a second and then he shook his head. "Never mind I'll just do my most hated activity later. I'm not coming back until you two have had some time to cool off I share a bedroom wall with you guys."
"Forget that for right now Hank I'm more worried about the fact that I'm going to have to clean. You have seen her room and you have seen what his apartment looked like to put it mildly they are both slobs just not on the same level as Wyatt." Chris said his OCD coming to the surface.
Wyatt laughed at his younger brother. "Ok, I'm not that bad mom." He said sarcastically.
"Don't be sarcastic Wyatt you are that bad. I would know I cleaned your room for nineteen years." Piper reminded him.
Chuck's stomach rumbled. "Where is the food I'm starving?" he asked.
"Chip you just ate before we left the apartment." Prue told him.
"Prue I had cold cereal before we left that isn't food for me that is a snack." Chuck corrected her.
"You mean to tell me that you guys actually left that apartment?" Big Henry asked like he was surprised.
"You're really funny Uncle Henry. Yes we left the apartment we went out to dinner last night and we left early this morning we had things to do." Prue informed him.
"Yeah like combine our bank accounts don't get me started." Chuck said shaking his head.
"Like I told you before Mr. Bradford I'm waiting for my paycheck so I can deposit it. My closest full of shoes and clothes costs money and not to mention I have to pay rent." Prue pointed out to him.
"Well in that case Mrs. Halliwell forget that I even said anything about." Chuck leaned in and kissed her.
"I hate to ask stupid questions. But how the hell are we moving all this shit?" Chord asked he had even been drug out of bed to help.
"That is a good question and it involves the use of Hank, Mel, and Ricky's trucks." Chris said he had it thought out that far.
"Wyatt isn't driving that is the only thing I have to say about that. I just bought that truck and I don't think it could withstand anything he could do to it." Mel said just to get that out in the open.
Chuck started patting down his pockets like he was looking for something. "Which reminds me somewhere I have some papers."
Prue opened her purse and pulled out the papers he was looking for. "I told you that you would forget what you did with them I didn't hang on to them for you." she gloated.
Chuck took the papers from Prue and handed them to Val. "You need to sign those and it's all yours. It outlines everything that you need to know like how much rent is and things like that."
"Thanks for bringing these to me Chuck." Val said smiling up at him.
"No problem kid like I said we were out anyway." Chuck said returning her smile.
Prue then caught sight of Jimmy "Did we adopt another stray?" she asked.
"Yes and no." Piper answered her.
Prue arched her eyebrow "I don't understand what you're saying here."
"Prue that is Jimmy he was my first husband." Eva explained to her.
Prue looked at him and then she looked at Roman then she looked back to Jimmy again. "Well Shrimp I'll say this for you, you got everything but his height."
Roman shot her a glare that had it been within his power it would have killed her. "Mel how wrong would it be if I killed my brother's wife?" he asked her.
Mel pondered the question for a second before answering. "You're not going to kill my cousin for several reasons. Because A) I'm sure that Jake would like to keep that pleasure for himself, B) If you killed her Chuck would kill you and I'm attached to you so I can't have that and, C) Life around here would turn into a bigger soap opera than it already is."
"I'm glad to know that you only don't want him to kill me because it would be inconvenient for you." Prue said pretending to be hurt.
Jake couldn't resist it had been days since he was able to get in a good dig at his sister. "Actually I thought Mel was being quite considerate Ladybug she told him that he couldn't kill you because would like to do it myself. You have no idea how many years I've plotted to get rid of you."
"Cooper I would like to say that since I'm a married woman now that I am above playing your little games but that just isn't true." Prue said as she walked over to her brother and smacked him on the back of his head.
"Prudence that was totally uncalled for." Jake yelled rubbing the back of his head but he couldn't help but smile.
"Alright I propose a deal." Prue said grinning at him.
"I'm listening." Jake replied.
"I won't call you Cooper anymore if you agree not to call me Prudence." Prue proposed.
Jake acted like he was considering it for a moment "It's a deal sis." He said he stood up like he was going to shake her hand but instead he pulled her into a hug.
"Hi, Cookie Dough." Prue said kissing his cheek.
"Hey, Ladybug." Jake replied smiling at her.
"That is sick for them to act like they hate each other and then carry on like that." Chuck rolled his eyes.
"Chuck don't let them fool you they really love each other." Phoebe told her son-in-law.
"Val no offence but could we get this show on the road here? I have to try to get some sleep and then I have to go see what kind of damage my retarded boyfriend did to the menu without telling anyone." Mel asked her cousin.
"Yeah I'm ready." Val replied.
Hailey held up her head. "Wait just one second. Huck I'm gonna kill you." she told him.
Huck smirked at her. "I don't know why." He said trying to sound innocent.
"It has something to do with why I can't find my left shoe." Hailey reminded him.
Huck smiled really wide. "Before I admit to anything let's call a truce." He suggested.
"Not until you give me my shoe back." Hailey countered.
"Ok, fine so in retaliation for that little argument we had the other day I may or may not have had some fairy friends of mine take your left shoe." Huck admitted guilt.
"Just give it back and we'll be fine Huck." Hailey said she wanted to hit him so bad.
"I'll give it back I was just having some fun." Huck said trying to sound innocent.
"Noah if a bigger idiot than you exists on the face on the planet I would like to know." Calleigh told her brother in disbelief.
"Children play nice together and do as you were told before I get mad." Mel said looking harshly at Huck.
"Oh, shit Piper Jr. has been heard from I think we better behave ourselves or risk having her wrath unleashed on us." Wyatt joked.
"Let's just get to this." Chris sighed rolling his eyes.
Before Eva would let Roman and Lilly help the others she made them and Jimmy go back to her house. She now had them gathered at her kitchen table. She held onto Derek's hand for moral support.
"Mom what the hell is this about?" Roman asked irritably. He wasn't in the best mood in the entire world he had been up all night slaving away in a kitchen and he wasn't in the mood for this shit now.
"I just wanted to make sure that you and your sister are ok with Jimmy being back." Eva explained to him.
Lilly raised her hand. "Mother I made my peace with Jimmy months ago so as far as I'm concerned we're cool. That being said I really have to go before my retarded boyfriend slash maybe fiancé does something to hurt himself." She said before she got up and walked out the door.
"She is such a lovely person when she wants to be." Derek mused laughing.
"Ro what about you?" Eva asked.
"I don't know what you want me to say mom. Hell I don't even know where to begin. I would like to know why now." Roman rambled.
"Because the elders thought that I would make a good whitelighter to help your brother and sister with the prophecy." Jimmy explained to him.
"I just don't know how I feel about you Jimmy. I mean on one hand you are my father. But we are strangers I know nothing about you. I only know that mom has told me my whole life that I look exactly like you. That is obviously true because it is just like looking in the mirror. I guess it's finally nice to see where I get my eyes but other than that I don't know." Roman admitted honestly.
"I can understand why you feel that way Huckleberry." Jimmy drawled out.
"And why do you keep calling me that?" Roman asked but something about it sounded familiar. Hell Jimmy's voice sounded familiar to him too he just couldn't place it.
Jimmy looked at Eva with accusing eyes. "You didn't tell him?"
Eva looked at him and shrugged "I couldn't Jimmy it was just too painful. You should tell him now." she replied.
Roman looked between both of them. "Tell me what?" he asked.
Jimmy gave him a small smile "When your mother and I found out that you were a boy I started calling you Huckleberry as a joke well the nickname stuck. I used to call your sister Clementine. Eva used to go on and on about my southern boy ways so I came up with the two most southern sounding names I could think of and that is what I called you two."
Roman snorted in derision "So that little story is supposed to make up for twenty-two years of you not being around?" he asked incredulously.
"No I never said it was supposed to." Jimmy said patiently the boy had obviously gotten his temper.
Roman rolled his eyes. "Save your fucking bullshit explanations for someone who gives a fuck. Because I don't anymore I have cried one too many tears over you. I'm out of here." he said standing up.
"Roman James sit down now." Derek ordered him gruffly.
"But you let Lilly just walk out of here." Roman protested but he sat back down.
"That's because your sister obviously doesn't have the issues with your father that you do." Derek told him pointedly.
"Come on you're my dad you were for everything that mattered." Roman pointed out to him.
"You can have more than one dad son." Derek said gently.
"Roman just listen to what he has to say." Eva begged him.
"Fine." Roman said begrudgingly.
"Look you want to know more about me and I'm sure you'll learn a lot about yourself in the process." Jimmy told him.
"Somehow I sincerely doubt that." Roman said all the while he was chewing on his fingernails.
"Well I can tell that you're a smoker you chew on your nails the same way I do. Smoking would have killed me but the demon got to me first." Jimmy told him.
Roman pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and laid them on the table. "That was a lucky guess."
"You're a chef right?" Jimmy asked.
"Yeah but you knew that because I admitted to it." Roman replied.
Jimmy smiled at him. "Well I was a chef too. And I'd be willing to guess that you can't prepare French cuisine to save your life."
"I suck at French food it's too delicate." Roman confirmed.
"I couldn't cook French to save my life." Jimmy told him.
"So that just means neither of us is a well rounded chef." Roman shrugged.
Jimmy got lost in thought for a moment and then he spoke again. "The name Huckleberry looked like it struck a cord with you. You remember it because when you were a baby I used to come into your room while you were sleeping. I did that until you were about three."
Realization dawned on Roman's face "Jamey?" he asked.
Jimmy smiled broadly at him. "Right, you do remember me when you got old enough to realize I was there I told you my name was Jamey."
"I just thought that was an imaginary friend that you and your sister made up." Eva gasped.
" I planned it that way I knew that you would be pissed if you found out about what I was doing." Jimmy said grinning sheepishly.
"Jimmy you didn't have to lie I would have never kept you from your kids." Eva told him.
"It was too painful for me E it got harder and harder to leave them every night. So I finally had to just pull away it was the hardest thing I've ever had to do." Jimmy said regret oozing from his words.
Roman looked at him and facial features softened. "I know that you couldn't be there all the time but you could have come every once in a while when I called."
"I wasn't being a good dad Huckleberry it was hard on me to have to leave you so I didn't come. I never once thought about how hard it was on you when I didn't come." Jimmy said looking at Roman with the same soft blue eyes that he had.
"I would have been happy to just see you once while I was growing up." Roman said.
"I know and I'm sorry. I wasn't being a good dad the night I went after that demon alone I should have known better. Even before you were born you and my little Clementine were everything to me Huckleberry." Jimmy spoke from his heart.
Roman shrugged "I've been there before…" he started to say and then something dawned on him. "And you were right there with me when you thought I was dying."
" I said 'Hold on Huckleberry daddy's right here'" Jimmy quoted.
"Right, I can't believe that was you." Roman said now he had placed where he had heard Jimmy's voice before.
"Ro that's huge you haven't remembered anything from that period in a long time." Derek said.
"Had I known that you were still in trouble I would have done something more to help. I could have told Clementine what I knew." Jimmy said he was really sorry that he hadn't known sooner.
Roman grinned. "I swear the next time I see Lila the pain in my ass I'm going to call her Clementine."
"Roman don't your sister will kill you. Let Jimmy break that one to her gently just like I have to tell you something." Eva said scrunching up her face.
"What mother?" Roman asked not sure that he wanted to know.
"You know how your name is Roman James right?" Eva asked him.
"Yeah I hear it enough I piss off Mel that what she calls me. When I'm in trouble that's what you call me so yeah I'm pretty sure I know my name." Roman told her he was being a tad bit on the sarcastic side.
"Well that isn't your full name." Eva said.
"Then what is my full name mother?" Roman asked.
"Roman James Huckleberry Nicolae." Eva told him and then she braced herself for him having a blowup.
"Mom tell me that you're kidding me." Roman pleaded with her.
"Well no I'm not that is the name on your birth certificate but it was too long to fit on your driver's license and stuff so they just shorten it to Roman James." Eva admitted.
"Mom that isn't even funny. Lilly is going to be super pissed." Roman pointed out to her.
"Let me worry about your sister she'll be ok. Especially after I let her take daddy's credit card and buy whatever she wants." Derek assured him.
"So Lilly gets the credit card and I get nothing?" Roman asked in disbelief.
"I don't give dead men my credit card and since I have a feeling that your girlfriend is going to kill you I'll hold off on that." Derek joked with him.
Roman groaned, "Oh, shit I better go she is going to really be pissed if I don't help her move this shit."
"Huckleberry I really want to get the chance to know you. We don't have to have a father son relationship right now or ever if you don't want to but I want us to at least be friends." Jimmy said.
This time hearing the name Huckleberry set a flood of sounds and images through his brain. He remembered everything that he had learned in the source's dungeon. "I would really like that too Jimmy but I have to go now because I have to have a word with Chris and Hank." Roman said rising to go.
"Ro are you ok?" Eva asked him concerned he was acting weird.
"I'm fine mom but I won't be fine if I don't go help Mel will kill me for sure." Roman said giving her a smile and kissing her cheek before he left.
"Jimmy both your children get that weird shit from you." Eva told him.
"They are not weird they are just misunderstood." Jimmy replied with a big grin.
"Paige laying on the couch for a half hour isn't going to kill you." Bianca told her daughter pushing her back down on the couch. She was trying with all her might to get her to rest and Paige wasn't making it easy on her.
"Really mom I'm fine." Paige said but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Her eyes were sunken and hollow and she had dark circles under them. She had little beads of sweat popping up on her head because she was running a fever. And she flat out sounded horrible her voice was hoarse and barely above a whisper.
Bianca looked at her and rolled her eyes the girl wasn't seriously trying to tell her she was fine while she sounded like she had swallowed a frog. "Paige you're not fine you sound terrible. You barely have a voice not that you little buddies see that as a bad thing but I'm worried about you."
"Mom there is nothing to worry about, the only thing you'll need to worry about is what those boys are up to without me if you make me take a nap." Paige reasoned right before she was racked by a coughing fit.
Bianca arched her eyebrow at her. "Now are you going to keep trying to tell me that you're fine?" she asked.
"Ok so maybe I'm a little sick." Paige said holding her thumb and index finger really close together.
"I think that you're a lot sick. With you there is no telling how long you were feeling like this before you went to Aunt Eva. Hell for all I know you have Pneumonia." Bianca lectured her.
Paige however wasn't listening to her she was more concerned with the letter that Chris had brought her from the future. "Mom when you look at me who do you see? And before you say anything that is a serious question."
Bianca really looked at her for a moment taking in all the details of her face. Like that day in the underworld physically all she could see was Chris if she looked at her just right she could see how she favored Piper and Paige but really there was no Hoyt at all in her looks. "When I look at you I see your dad, if I look just the right way I see a little bit of your grandma and your Aunt Paige."
"So you don't see Aunt O when you look at me?" Paige asked.
"No but that could be because of the way you act. Trust me Oriana wouldn't have been caught acting the way that you do. You have too much of me and your dad and your Uncle Hank in you for that matter." Bianca told her.
"I was just wondering." Paige said shrugging it off like it was nothing.
Bianca looked at her with kind eyes. "Paige I know you, you don't just wonder about things like that. Baby what brought this on?" she asked gently. She surprised herself every time she got all motherly because it just wasn't like her.
"When daddy went to the future he brought back a letter from you and it said that the reason you gave me up was because I looked like Aunt O." Paige replied.
"Paige that is nothing but a load of bullshit and it's not going to happen again I promise you that. I love you baby girl and what happened to you is never going to happen again." Bianca swore to her.
"Ok." Paige said simply because it hurt her throat to talk.
Bianca leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to her forehead. "Now you're not leaving that couch so get comfortable."
"Fine I give up." Paige said grinning ruefully but she gave up because she really didn't feel good.
"I think that you could really use some soup." Bianca smiled at her.
"I guess I could eat." Paige replied like it didn't matter.
"Now I don't want to sound like a bad mom but what's your favorite?" Bianca asked her.
Paige's face lit up like a big grin. "You get a pass this time but I'm going to make you work for it. What's your favorite?" she asked a question of her own.
"My favorite as I'm sure you already know is chicken noodle and from the way you're smiling I would say that it is yours too." Bianca said when she saw the way Paige's eyes were dancing.
"Just like my mom." Paige told her.
"Then I will be right back." Bianca smiled down at her.
Paige lay on the couch shivering "Mommy I'm cold." She said before she could stop the words from coming out of her mouth.
Bianca hid her smile but she covered her up with a blanket. "Now if you're still cold after that I'll get you one of Uncle Hank's sweatshirts so you can put it on."
"Mom I really love you." Paige said it could have been her fever talking but it wasn't she meant every word she said.
"And I really love you too Paige. Now lay down goober I'll go make you some soup." Bianca said kissing her on her head again.
A/N: Here's the first chapter guys I hope you liked it. Chris and Henry seriously crack me up with the way that they talk about Chuck and Prue. Leave it to Jake to miss fighting with his sister. I have a feeling that Roman and Jimmy are going to get pretty close because they are so much alike. You have to love the tender moment between Paige and Bianca because it is so unlike both of them. Huck and Hailey seriously crack me up with the way they fight they sorta remind me of Prue and Roman. You have to laugh about the names that Jimmy calls Roman and Lilly. Until Next time please review.
