Heritage
Part 1
Sequel to "The Babysitter". I do not own any part of Charmed. I just write about it.
As the wind touches my face, I smile. I can feel it on a deep level, and I have to resist the urge to jump off and ride the currents. I take a deep breath, and watch the sun crest over the horizon, over the planet that belongs to me, and to my kind. We are the undisputed lords of this land, and it responds only to us. With one last look, I jump off, and feel strength course through me. Far off I hear some noise, a voice speaking.
"Cole? COLE!"
With a start, Cole sat up in bed. He looked around to see Phoebe looking at him with a puzzled grin. "Come on, sleepy head. You're going to be late for breakfast."
Cole looked at the clock, and asked, "It's already ten o'clock? How long was I asleep for?"
"About 12 hours. Are you feeling alright baby? You've been sleeping a lot more lately?" Phoebe questioned quietly.
"I've just been working a lot, and been really stressed at work.now, what's this about breakfast?" Cole replied.
"It's the traditional Saturday breakfast, silly. Now, let's go get Gabriel and hurry down. We don't want to be late." Phoebe commented before heading out the bedroom door.
Cole shook his head a couple of times, and then stood up. It was just a dream.

"I don't know about this," Paige remarked nervously.
"Relax, honey. You'll do fine," Michael reassured her. He kissed her, but Paige's worried look didn't fade.
"Can't I just fight a demonic army instead?" Paige asked plaintively.
"What's up?" Piper questioned as Paige and Michael entered the kitchen.
"When my parents heard I was getting married, they left their site early to get back here. They're getting into town today, and really want to meet my fiancé."
"I know, what if I go do battle with the Source? Can't we do that instead?" Paige demanded.
"Honey, you have to meet them eventually," Piper commented with a grin.
"Yeah, but can't I do that in a few.decades?" Paige asked. "I mean, what if they don't like me, or what if they don't think I'm good enough, or what if."
Michael pulled her into a kiss, and said, "Don't worry about it, I know they'll love you."
"How?" Paige demanded.
"Because I love you." Michael reassured.
Paige grinned, and said, "I can never stop hearing that,"
Phoebe and Cole walked in with Gabriel in tow. Piper gasped, and said, "He's WALKING!"
"I know, he can do that in toddler form, but now he can do it in his real form too," Cole remarked.
"That's awesome," Paige exclaimed. Cole helped Gabriel get seated, and then sat down next to him.
"Cole, are you alright?" Leo questioned as he helped Melinda get seated.
"Not you too," Cole replied crossly, "I'm fine, stop worrying about me,"
"So, what was the commotion we heard on our way down?" Phoebe asked.
"Michael's parents are coming in today, and want to meet Paige. She's a little nervous."
"I can see why," Phoebe commented, "I'd love to help you out on that one, but to tell you the truth, neither Piper nor I had to deal with that. Our husband's families are dead." She then winced, and looked over at Cole. "Sorry, baby. I know you consider Karril family, but he hasn't been heard from in the last month, and." Phoebe trailed off as it became apparent that Cole was focused on eating.
"Thanks for the advice. So, what are you two up to?" Paige remarked.
"I don't know, I thought maybe the four of us would go shopping for some furniture for the den, to replace the ones lost from the last demon battle."
Leo grimaced, and said, "Count me out, I think I'll take Cole to see a movie. How's that sound Cole?"
"Aserius Dasmari Natharan," Cole replied absently.
"What did you say?" Leo asked.
"I said fine with me." Cole said in annoyance.
"No you didn't Cole, you babbled gibberish," Phoebe commented.
Cole was about to respond when his cell phone rang. He pulled it up and said, "Turner? Yes.now? What about.alright, I'll be right there." He looked at the others, and grimaced, "Sorry Leo, I'm going to have to take a rein check. That was Mr. Jackman, he wants to see me, right now. It sounded important."
"Hey, I understand. Especially since the bulk of the family income comes from you."
"Glad to hear it, I'll see you later." Cole said as he hurried upstairs to shower.
Michael looked at his watch and said, "I'd love to stay, but my parents are coming in soon, and I want to be there to meet them. Come on Paige."
Paige looked distinctly nervous, and then said, "Alright."
Piper looked at Leo with a mischievous grin and said, "Looks like you're watching the kids and going shopping."
***
"You wanted to see my Mr. Jackman?" Cole asked as he walked in.
Mr. Jackman smiled, and said, "Cole, come on in, and have a seat."
Cole walked into the office and sat down. "You're probably wondering what is going on?" Mr. Jackman remarked.
"Yes, sir. I'm guessing it must be very important to call me in on a Saturday." Cole commented.
"Very perceptive. I'll get straight to the point. The firm is very impressed with you, Cole. Your skills in the courtroom are fast-getting out, and you are becoming in high demand. Also, you have the people skills to do very well here."
"I'm glad to hear that," Cole interjected.
"What do you know about Neotech International?" Mr. Jackman asked suddenly.
"It's a new company to San Francisco, just setting up. It appears to be some kind of Not For Profit Organization, but that's about all I know," Cole replied.
"The owner and CEO of the company has called and asked for us to send over a lawyer to help them with several legal proceedings. I don't have to tell you this could be a very successful client for us, and we really want him on board." Mr. Jackman cautioned.
"I still don't see what this has to do with me?" Cole asked in confusion.
"The CEO has heard of your skills and victories, and specifically requested you. He wants you to meet with him today at his new offices. I was hoping you'd be willing to do it. I can promise that if we land this client, they'll be a large bonus for you. Anyway, we can head over right now if you're ready."
Cole shrugged, and said, "Absolutely sir."
***
"How do I look?" Paige asked.
"You look fantastic, just like when you asked five minutes ago," Michael reassured her. He said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."
"I sure hope so.I really want to make a good impression." Paige murmured.
Michael was about to respond when people began to approach the baggage claim. He scanned the crowd, and then broke into a grin, "MOM! DAD!"
As Michael walked forward, Paige took a deep breath to try and calm her nerves. She then headed off after Michael. She found him hugging a woman. As he put her down, Michael looked over and said, "Mom, Dad, I'd like you to meet my fiancé, Paige Matthews. Paige, these are my parents."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Errant." Paige said and held out her hand. Both parents had very firm handshakes.
Michael's dad smiled, and said, "It's nice to meet the woman who's stolen my son's heart. And call me James. I feel old whenever people call me 'Mr.' besides, we're practically family,"
Paige grinned, and turned to find Michael's mother giving her an appraising look. She seemed to be measuring Paige up, and Paige unconsciously straightened her back.
Several moments passed before Michael interrupted by saying, "Why don't we grab your bags and go to lunch? I know a great place near here."
"Sounds great," Michael's mom said softly without taking her eyes off of Paige.
Paige swallowed. This was going to be a long day.
***
"He'll be out to get you in a moment," the woman said.
Cole smiled, and said, "Thank you," As he sat down, he grinned. He looked over and saw Mr. Jackman trying to maintain a calm façade. Cole know how much this account meant to him, and was very impressed.
Cole looked around the office, and wondered about this CEO. The company was new, as the recently finished wallpapering. However, he also had a great deal of money, since he's spent a great deal of these nice chairs. He was truly a paradox; one Cole hoped to figure out soon.
"You nervous?" Mr. Jackman murmured to Cole softly.
"Not really, just antsy," Cole replied softly.
"Hello, Mr. Jackman, Mr. Turner. It's a pleasure to meet you," a new voice said from the doorway.
Cole looked up, and tried to keep his mouth from falling open. Standing in the doorway in an Armani suit, was KARRIL!
