AN Oh yes here it is people, the sequel to 'The Angels Devil' how great am I? Anyway this is a year later from where 'The Angels Devil' finished. The chapters may be short and long or just randomly in between and updates could be long waits, but after being PM'd and E-Mailed and recovering from my bout of Writers Block I decided that I should write this chapter at least. It's pretty, okay its very, short, but it's not size that matters it's how you use it. Leave a review you know it makes you happy. Even if it doesn't it makes me happy… that you have enjoyed the story…nothing to do with my amazingly large ego. By the way Sas thanks for the help with Title names, even if you did get carried away.

Disclaimer I own nothing BUT Ben, John, Jenny and whoever else I decide to add and who don't belong in charmed. In your face Kern, try and sue me now. I have a disclaimer and a 'southern fried chicken wrap'

Angel's Are Haunting Me

Cole Turner was hardly the person to call himself a doting father, but over the past 7 years things had changed and his perception on the whole family life had changed. He sat up in bed and examined his room, his shirt was thrown on the floor and noted it has a rather large, peculiar looking stain on it. For a moment he stared blankly at it, but it dawned on him it was strawberry jam. Ben was here, and it was the weekend. It was the only time of the week he could actually spend all day and night with his son, and he loved it. He had taken to being a father rather like a duck to water. It seemed so easy, and Ben was a good kid, if not a bit too confident and hyper. With parents like himself and Paige, though, what else was to be expected? He shifted himself out of the bed and slowly started to get dressed, relishing the silence and solitude of the house, though he knew in the next half hour his son would be awake and annoying him to no end to play 'Batman' or 'Racing Drivers'. He walked to his window and drew the curtains only to be greeted by the bright light of the sunshine that was hovering above houses in a rude way. He also saw, much to his distress, a small handprint of jam on the bottom of the balcony windows. He rolled his eyes, he knew giving Ben jam on toast before bed wasn't the perfect thing to do, but Ben had sulked and ignored him for half an hour until he had made it. Above all else, Ben had inherited Paige's stubbornness much to the disapproval to those caring for him at the time. He glanced at the clock and figured Ben would be awake soon and it would be in everyone's best interests to start breakfast now, especially since Paige wanted him back for ten o'clock. Cole pulled a face John, Paige's new boyfriend, had decided he wanted to take Ben out for the day as a 'family'. Cole had raised his eyebrow at that but Paige intervened before a fight ensued and told Cole it was a slip of the tongue. Cole had been tempted to punch John and call it a slip of the wrist. Walking out of the room he glanced at the door behind which his son would be sleeping,

"Bang!" Cole closed his eyes, and reopened them to look at the door behind which his son should be sleeping, but wasn't. He put his hand on the brass handle and pushed the door open to find his son sat on the floor, his pajamas long gone, thrown on the bed, and he was now wearing a back-to-front t-shirt and his shorts. Cole thanked god it was summer. He watched as his son orbed a toy from one side of the room, then used his ability of forming energy balls to break them and finally fixing them with a swift wave of the hand. Cole lent on the doorframe, Ben oblivious to him stood there as he orbed another toy, as it made its way through the air Cole waved his hand and the small giraffe disappeared. Ben looked scared for a second then turned to Cole with an innocent smile on his small face, Cole held out the toy giraffe that was now in his hand and licked his lip,

"You told me I could use my demon-y powers as long as mum doesn't know" The small boy told him standing up defiantly and made his way to Cole. He looked up at his father and smiled again. Cole shook his head, Paige wasn't a fan of Ben using his powers to every little purpose and told him that he should only use them if the time and need ever came. Cole knew the only reason she said that was because she was scared, as was he, of their sons growing powers. He possessed many abilities of both a whitelighter, witch and demon and that made him very powerful for a little boy. Paige wanted him to grow up with some sort of 'normal' life, not all based around magic. Cole was a little pissed at that, he wanted Ben to learn and develop his powers but once again John just had to be included and make his point that Ben although powerful was just a little boy, and needed to learn other things. He hadn't loved the fact that Paige was magical and they had broken up for two months but they were back together now. Cole figured John was a teacher in the first ten minutes of meeting him, his was uptight and always had to be correct. He hated him. Not because he was uptight but because he felt John was trying to become Bens father, when he wasn't, the fact he was also sleeping with his ex-wife caused tension. It had been two years since him and Paige had split, and they had both gone on to form new relationships, but even a blind or deaf person couldn't help but notice the friction and flirtatious comments Cole and Paige threw to one another. He had dreamt they were still together once before, well more than once, but it was obvious they couldn't last. They were too different. Another flying toy knocked Cole out of his thoughts, it wasn't an unknown fact Ben became distracted easy and since Cole wasn't replying to him he had continued his game of 'Break and Fix it'.

"Ben sort your top out and go downstairs you have to go home soon" Ben turned to Cole and the car dropped from mid-air, Cole looked down at his son and saw disappointment in his eyes. Cole bent down to one knee and began to fix Ben's top "Come on buddy, John is taking you to the fair today, that's going to be fun isn't it?" Ben shook his head, making the turning of the top harder, finally he pulled the top over Bens head so that 'Spiderman' was now facing the front. He gave his son a smile,

"I hate clowns, I don't want to go. I told John I didn't like clowns and he bought me a toy one. He doesn't listen to me, all he does is kiss mum and hug her" Cole tried to keep his jealousy to a minimum at that comment, Afterall he did have a girlfriend - Jenny, but it was proving difficult. "Can't I stay with you and aunt Jenny today dad please?" Cole shook his head, he was glad Ben and Jenny got along. Jenny would sit down and listen to everything Ben had to say, even if it was irrelevant and childish she would be so interested in the conversation and she was so good with him. They had started rocky, Jenny was jealous of the attention Ben got sometimes and hated the fact Cole and Paige were still close, but Ben was just too adorable not to love, and the two had grown close. Cole loved that side of her, the side he heated was that she was a bar-maid and guys hit on her 24/7. Jealousy was definatly and issue with him.

"No, come on I promise John wont take you to see any clowns okay" he stood up as Ben began to fold his arms, "I'll come and see you tonight with Aunt Jenny" He resigned, this caused a small smile to creep onto Ben's face but he still stood stubborn, Cole resorted to lifting him up and throwing him over his shoulder, "Or I'll just come on my own" Ben let out a laugh and began to hit Cole's back with his small fists as Cole walked out of the room and downstairs, he finally let go of him and plopped him onto the large couch,

"Yeah tonight. Johns not there he said he has to go to some ladies house his sister I think. Come and see me and mum" Ben stared at him with his large blue eyes intently, Cole swallowed hard unsure if it was wise to be in a lone environment with Paige. Ben will be there he figured nothing will happen.

"Okay. Now I'll get you some breakfast and then it's time to go" Ben pushed himself off of the couch, obviously not listening to what Cole had said after agreeing and proceeded to go and play with the remote control digger at the other end of the room. Cole smiled and watched his son for a few moments before walking into the kitchen.

Paige stared down at the picture in the silver frame regretfully. She knew she shouldn't be still feeling like this but she did, and she couldn't help it. The feelings only resurfaced when she saw him and his girlfriend in the restaurant he had taken her to once, the restaurant that had quickly become their place and it had hurt to see him there with her, holding hands, kissing, looking into one another's eyes. Paige had been blinded by regret, jealousy, and anger for a moment before hit her she was the one who filed for divorce. She put the wedding photo of her and Cole back into the white box and closed the lid, with a hesitant blink she orbed it back upstairs, to the back of her closet where nobody went. She was startled as she heard a male voice say her name and she turned around to see John standing in the doorway holding his dark coat,

"Hey, it's almost 10 I'll go and start the car. Cole should be here soon" He told her, Paige gave him a smile and a nod as he made his way to her and kissed her softly, "Ben will love this" he chirped and made his way out of the room. No he wont, he's scared of clowns you just don't listen. Paige raised the tips of her fingers to her lips, numb to the feeling of nothing. In the past her other boyfriends had kissed her and made her feel something, Henry had made her feel beautiful, Glen had made her feel wanted, Cole had made her feel…she sighed as she realized Cole made her feel everything, like she was on top of everything and could do anything, he made her feel wanted, loved, beautiful and like she was the only person in the world that had ever been loved by him. She pulled a face, that would be what Jenny would be feeling now. All Paige felt was like she was someone's girlfriend, maybe after being married to Cole her expectations had been too high, and no man could reach that now. At that moment Cole shimmered into the kitchen, Ben on his back clinging on for dear life even though Cole would let no harm ever come to him, he would die just so Ben wouldn't have to be hurt or feel pain. Paige smiled at the scene in front of her, Ben was laughing and had turned red and it looked as though Cole was having problems breathing, probably due to the lack of oxygen.

"Have you seen Ben?" he grinned at her, causing another small laugh to come from the small boy on his back. "I've looked for him everywhere but he just disappeared" Paige let out a small giggle and shrugged,

"Haven't seen him" Cole let out a fake sigh,

"Well that's no help, I guess I'll have to have a sit down and think about it" Slowly he walked towards the chairs but lots of movements and squeals of 'no' caused him to stop, "I think I can hear him but I cant see him" he smiled, Paige bit her lip. Why couldn't John be like this with Ben? The most John had done was decorate his room blue, hardly a great feat when Ben's favorite colour was red. She had told him, but John was insistent he would love it. Ben put his head to the side and Cole laughed slightly, "Nevermind Paige I found him" Ben made a delighted sound as Cole put him on the floor and he ran to his mum,

"Guess what daddy's coming here tonight" He rushed "Just him, so it's going to be me and you and daddy and can we get a movie please?" Paige felt her heart stop for a second. Cole. Here. Alone. Her. She felt dizzy for a second and looked at Cole who shrugged,

"It was to convince him to eat. I mean if you don't want me to I wont come" Paige drew in a deep breath and shook her head, not the reaction she wanted to do.

"No you can come, I mean it'll be fun I guess" Idiot, you should have told him not to come, this is going to be awkward. Cole gave her one of his smiles and the butterflies that had gathered in the bottom of her stomach came to life and span around so fast Paige was sure she would open her mouth and they would fly out. Ben seemed overly excited to hear his dad would be there, one of his wishes at night when he saw 'aunt Prue's star' was that his mum and dad would live together and John wouldn't be in their life. He had once told his Aunt's Piper and Phoebe his secret wish and all they did was look at one another in a sympathetic way and explain to him that something like that couldn't happen. As much as Piper and Phoebe hated John and his cocky attitude to magic, Paige and life they knew it was up to Paige what she wanted and it proved obvious she didn't want Cole. How wrong could two people be.

"Then I guess I'll see you tonight?" Paige nodded to his comment and inwardly he could feel himself wanting tonight to be here quicker, "Be here about seven. Kids huh?" he smiled, pushing the tension away and acting as though the whole thing was in Bens best interests rather than his. Ben turned to him, a smile evident on his face,

"Love you dad" Cole felt his heart warm, as it always did when Ben said that. Not that it was a random outburst, it was because Cole once more had done what the small child had told him to do.

"Love you too bye buddy" he smiled at him, and Ben happy with the way his morning had ended ran off to find something to interest him, Cole looked at Paige the silence deafening.

"Bye I guess" Paige said, Cole nodded and shimmered out not sure what else to say. Paige let out a breath and let go of the counter she was holding onto, marks in her palms. Tonight would prove to be interesting.
