The ending is going to have a surprise twist that no one sees coming. Another part of the prophecy will be fulfilled when we find out which two lovers are going to separate.


Chapter 1: Teenage Drama

"Oh wow that is seriously hot." Carly said leaning around the doorframe looking into the living room of the manor.

"That is more than hot I think that man may be part Adonis." Val replied her jaw almost on the floor.

"What the hell are you two doing?" Mel asked coming up behind them not that anything her two younger cousins did surprised her. She startled them and they both jumped.

"Mel don't sneak up on us and don't be so loud. The last thing we want is for Dom to catch us staring at him." Carly gestured to Dom who was doing pushups without a shirt on. They could see every muscle in his back ripple as he went about his task.

"You guys don't think that drooling over our niece's fiancé is a little out of line?" Mel asked knowing that when it came to men the two of them could care less.

Val shook her head "No all we are doing is looking tell me that you don't think he is fine."

Mel smiled a little at that in the three weeks he had been at the manor she had slowly gotten used to him. Seeing him without a shirt on didn't phase her anymore. "The first thought that pops into my head is a little petty but I can't help it. Looking at him I never realized that Ro was so short."

"Finally you realize what we have all been trying to tell you. Your boyfriend is practically a midget." Carly said she didn't hold back.

"Hey now he isn't as short as he looks all the muscle he has makes him look shorter. And trust me what he lacks in height he more than makes up for in other departments." Mel replied she loved her boyfriend he was just on the short side.

"So Roman has a big one? We've kinda been wondering about that." Val asked no topic was off limits with the two of them.

Mel smiled and nodded. "Oh yeah surprised the hell out of me the first time he took me to bed."

"Bullshit Mel you damn near raped him and you know it." Carly laughed she was proud of Mel for that.

"Guilty as charged but I had wasted enough time beating around the bush. If I hadn't of made the first move on him he would have never taken the hint." Mel informed them. Roman would have never thought about her in that way he liked living and she was Wyatt Halliwell's baby sister that was a line you didn't cross.

Val craned her neck so she could get a better look at Dom "I don't care what you say Mel that boy is fine."

"Mel doesn't care because my girl only has eyes for me." Roman said walking up behind Mel and kissing the side of her neck.

Mel leaned back into him and sighed "Good morning babe I didn't expect to see you." she reached around so she could kiss him on the mouth.

"I was giving Em driving lessons again it scared the shit out of me. Aunt Piper says that breakfast is ready." Roman reported when they came up for air.

"Hey Dom." Mel called out and he stopped mid pushup to look at her.

"Yeah Aunt Mel." Dom answered her.

"Breakfast is ready and the Hoover otherwise known as my friend Ricky is here. So if you want to eat you better come now." Mel replied.

"Ok I'm coming." Dom said grabbing his shirt off the back of the couch. They all walked into the kitchen together.

"Hey Dom you're up early this morning. Where is Paige?" Piper inquired sweetly. They were all in luck this morning she wasn't having a major mood swing.

Dom shrugged his shoulders "You're guess is as good as mine Aunt Piper I woke up and she was gone. Most likely to the underworld knowing her." He pulled his shirt over his head.

"That girl doesn't know when to give it a rest that is the third time this week." Leo mused looking up from his morning paper.

As if Paige knew she was being talked about she orbed in followed by Jack. She stalked over to the refrigerator and opened the freezer door and began rooting around for something. "Shit what the hell happened to all those ice packs I just bought?" she cussed.

"Paige I really wish you would let me heal that for you." Jack pleaded with her.

Paige turned to scowl at Jack "Jack if I could be healed I would gladly let you but this can't be healed it's nothing a little ice and some Tylenol won't cure. It's only a concussion it's what I get for letting my guard down."

"That wouldn't be a problem if you gave going to the underworld a break." Piper told her granddaughter pointedly.

Paige couldn't find an ice pack so instead she pressed a bag of frozen peas to her neck. "I will give it a rest just as soon as I finish following this lead." She was her father made over that was for sure. Dom set her pills and a glass of water on the counter in front of her. "Thank you Dom you just saved my life."

"I do what I can." Dom replied blushing a little bit when she kissed him.

Penny put her hand over her eyes and sighed "Ok I'm begging you people I really don't want to watch all of you swap spit. Mel and Ro are keeping their hands off each other for a change. So I just want you two to behave."

"I second that motion it is sickening." Emily agreed sneaking a quick glance at Jack.

"Dominic and Paige don't make out in the kitchen before breakfast you're making everyone sick." Chris said as he orbed in.

Paige went to him and threw her arms around his neck "Hi daddy."

"Good morning baby." Chris said pressing a kiss to the top of her head.

"Peanut what are you doing here so early? You just got off of work." Piper asked her son sweetly.

"I just came by to see my mother I didn't know that was a crime now." Chris replied giving her a big grin.

Leo smiled at his son "As long as you're here tell your child to give the early morning demon hunts a rest."

Chris looked at his daughter and frowned she was going to give him gray hairs before his time. "Paige Victoria Halliwell give it a rest and don't go to the underworld alone."

"I didn't go alone dad Jack was with me." Paige replied innocently.

"Of course he was. Dom control your fiancé I have to go check the book. Because there might be a demon but there is always a demon. I swear I'm going to kill my cousin." Chris bitched as he made his way up to the attic.

"Just so you know you're the one who broke the no physical contact rule." Henry informed Bianca as they lay in her bed a tangled mass of limbs.

Bianca laughed deep in her throat at him " I didn't hear you complaining. I forgot how much I like this."

Henry pulled her closer to him "I like this too. Are you going to take me back yet or do I still have to fight?"

"I don't think that you have given it your best shot yet. I'm going to let you sweat it out a little while longer." B replied pinching the flesh of his inner thigh he gave a little yelp.

"I'm going to have a big ass bruise when I change in the locker room at work that I'm going to have to explain." Henry complained.

"Hank you don't change clothes when you go to work." She pointed out to him.

He rolled his eyes "I know that but I had to try making you feel guilty it didn't work."

"Good luck with that I grew up Irish Catholic I felt guilty for the first nineteen years of my life. I don't worry about that so much anymore." Bianca laughed.

"B that was so wrong on so many levels but I can't help but find it funny. Although I have to admit nuns do scare the hell out of me." Henry was rambling on about nothing she had that effect on him.

"Hank I didn't fake sick today so I could listen to you ramble I can do that without taking time off." She smiled at him to temper her sarcasm.

Henry put his hand over his heart like he had been wounded by her comment "B you wound me deeply when you say things like that. So what did you have in mind for today then?"

"I could have you wait on me hand and foot again but I think I have tortured you enough like that. So I think for right now I will settle on you taking me out for lunch. I can't imagine why but for some reason I'm hungry." She laid her head on his chest.

Henry smacked himself in the center of the forehead when he heard his phone go off. "What?" he asked the caller on the other end he listened for a moment before he let out a sigh. "Damn it Prue I'll be right there as fast as I can." He replied hanging up.

"What did she do now?" Bianca asked as she watched him throw his clothes on.

"Prue was calling me from the underworld where her and Peanut went alone without telling me. Now they need help so I have to go if the demons don't kill them I'm going to." Henry said he was more than a little pissed off those two were going to get killed one day.

"Do you need help?" Bianca asked.

"No I have this under control I will be back as soon as I can." Henry said before he orbed out.

XXXXXXXXXX

"Now do you two care to tell me what this was all about?" Henry asked his arms crossed over his chest. They were in the attic now and they were covered in dirt from the under world.

"We were hoping that you wouldn't find out about this at all. I got attacked by a demon this morning and well I called Chris you were sleeping. We didn't want to bother you unless we had to." Prue offered trying to make herself sound innocent.

"Yeah we thought that it wasn't a big deal and we could handle it by ourselves. Little did we know that the demon was going to take the power of three to vanquish." Chris added nodding his head in agreement with Prue.

Henry took a deep breath so he didn't yell at them but they were bringing out the big brother in him. "That was incredibly stupid Chris you are older and you are supposed to keep Prue from doing impulsive things not go right along with her. And Prue just because Chris tells you something is a good idea it doesn't mean you have to go along with him."

"So I take it that now would be a bad time to ask to look at the book?" Dom asked meekly as he stood in the doorway of the attic Paige had put him up to this because Piper had banned her from going after any more demons today.

"No you can come in Dom. Actually it's a good thing you decided to stick your head in the door we were just about to get into it." Prue smiled at him.

Dom chuckled and shook his head at them as he went to the book. He started thumbing through it not that he knew what he was looking for. "Damn stubborn girlfriend all she has to do is look at me with those eyes and I'm done for. When the simple thing to say is no Paige I won't go demon hunting for you I don't have a death wish like you do. But no like always I say yes whatever you want honey just go with Aunt Piper not that you have much of a choice when she puts you on house arrest." He mumbled to himself.

"Gee Dom did my little angel put you up to this?" Chris asked unable to contain a smirk.

"Yes she did Uncle Chris and she is not an angel that girl is hell on wheels. Aunt Piper is holding her hostage right now so she doesn't get herself killed. But she was perfectly alright with her getting me killed." Dom answered sighing the things he did because he was in love with a Halliwell.

"Hey Chuck try this one on for size tell her no she might get pissed but you will both be better off for it." Hank said he knew that he had called him by the wrong name. But Dom reminded him of Chuck and his inability to tell Prue no.

Prue frowned at him "That was not funny Harry Chuck doesn't do everything I tell him to do." That was a lie and she knew it.

Henry could feel the back of his neck getting red from anger he hated to be called Harry in the worst way possible. "Prudence I swear I will kill you and make you have to deal with Grams if you call me Harry again."

"Uncle Hank I really rather that you not mention Grams in front of me. Something tells me that she doesn't like me very much. Well really she doesn't like Paige very much and it is guilt by association." Dom rambled on he had picked up some of the Halliwell traits.

Prue consulted her watch "You boys have fun discussing how much Grams dislikes both of you. As much as I would love to stay and listen to this I have to meet mom and Cookie Dough for lunch."

"Bullshit you have to meet Aunt Phoebe, Cookie Dough, and Greg for lunch. You and Aunt Phoebe just neglected to tell Cookie Dough that because he would have found a way to get out of it." Chris corrected her.

"Yeah pretty much now don't mention that to him I don't want him to know that I was in on this little set up." Prue replied.

"Did you need to be orbed somewhere Prue?" Henry asked just so he could get rid of her and get back to Bianca.

"Not by you I learned that lesson the hard way when we were kids and you orbed me and O into the path of a fireball." Prue answered not realizing the slipup she made.

Henry's face fell "We were demon hunting Prue I was trying to get you both out of there. Actually you both got yourselves in that mess and I had to go bail you out. I wonder sometimes how you both didn't manage to get killed."

Prue took a deep breath she really put her foot in her mouth sometimes "Henry I'm sorry I know how you are about her I shouldn't have said that. It just slipped out it won't happen again."

"Dom shimmer your Aunt Prue where she wants to go before this gets out of hand. I don't care what Paige asked you to do just do this one thing for me." Chris said and Dom did what he asked without another word.


Val slammed her locker door shut and she looked over her shoulder to see Emily standing looking like she had something important to ask her. "Penny for your thoughts Em?"

"Val you're the only one I can talk to about this Mel would only go all big sister on me and Carly wouldn't take it seriously." Emily said chewing on her bottom lip.

"Em just tell me what it is and I will try to help you deal with it." Val assured her now she wasn't so sure she wanted to know. Ha who was she kidding? Of course she wanted to know it was in her nature.

Emily tugged on the bottom of her shirt for a minute before she answered "What would you do if your kinda sorta boyfriend wouldn't have sex with you?"

Val was going to laugh until she saw the younger girl was serious "Ok I have never had that problem this is me we are talking about Em. But Jack won't have sex with you?" she asked. Emily had been right Mel would have flipped out on her.

"No he says he doesn't want to rush me into anything. But I want to." Emily replied.

Val couldn't believe she was having this conversation "How far have you two gone?" she asked she had to know.

"Third base and that was him doing it to me not the other way around." Emily blushed a little.

Val arched an eyebrow "Damn Em that boy is a keeper if only you could get him to go all the way with you he would be perfect. Maybe he is afraid of hurting you because you both know that at some point he is going to have to leave. He is a sweet guy Em he probably doesn't want you to get more emotionally attached to him than you already are."

"Well it is frustrating the hell out of me I have raging hormones too I hope everyone realizes that. I'm not as sweet and innocent as I look." Emily bitched.

"Ok as much as I would love to continue to discuss this matter with you I have things to do right about now Em but if you still need to talk later come by the house." Val said looking at her cell phone it was Tuesday afternoon and she had an appointment with Huck to keep.

"You're seriously going to meet up with Huck?" Emily asked her not that she put anything past Val.

"Of course I'm going to meet Huck I would be stupid not to. He is a man whore so he knows his shit and like you said I have raging hormones that won't let me concentrate on anything unless I take care of them." Val replied patting her on her shoulder before she walked off.

"Where the hell did Val just sleeze off to?" Patty asked stepping up behind Emily with Ricky at her side. She had to grab her book out of her locker.

"To go meet one Mr. Huck Cavanaugh I think she headed off to the third floor janitor's closet. Either that or the boy's locker room it's too cold for them to be out under the bleachers." Emily replied.

Ricky shook his head "Emily Grace if I ever find out that you have done anything like that I will kill you." he said.

"Ricky let me assure you that is one thing you don't have to worry about me doing. Now I have to go find Penny and discuss what party we are sneaking off to tonight." Emily said sarcastically as she bounced off down the hall.

"She makes me want to strangle her sometimes. I swear my life would be so much easier if I didn't have sisters." Ricky sighed.

"I say the same thing all the time and look here she comes now. and from the look on her face I can tell she wants something." Patty said as Carly walked up to them.

"Hi Ricky do you think I can borrow my sister for a minute?" Carly asked him sweetly.

"Yeah sure thing Charlie I'll save a seat for you." Ricky said as he leaned down and pecked her on the lips.

"Carly you're being sweet you want something what is it?" Patty asked her twin got her to do entirely too many things she didn't want to do.

"Oh I just need you to cover for me with mom I'm going to see Jason right now. And she is going to ask you if something is yours and I need you to say yes. But you can't tell anyone that it's mine." Carly got out in one breath.

"Carly what the hell am I admitting to being mine?" Patty asked.

"Uh it's a pregnancy test and the results were inconclusive but I swear I'll take care of it. Don't worry about it just tell mom that it's yours her and dad won't flip on you like they will on me. Please Charlie." Carly begged giving her a sad puppy dog face.

Patty shook her head and sighed "Oh come on Carly I will do just about anything for you and you know it. But that is asking a little much out of me." she really didn't want to admit that in front of her mother and father but Carly was on thin ice as it was.

"Please I will owe you big time if you do this one thing for me. I swear you will know right after I know if I'm pregnant or not." Carly pleaded with her.

"Carly does Jason know?" Patty asked.

"No and with any bit of luck he will never have to know about any of this." Carly responded.

"Ok fine I'll do it but you owe me so big that it isn't funny. I mean we're talking you have to do my chores for a month." Patty relented.

"Charlie we don't have chores but I swear I'll think of some way to make it up to you." Carly swore.

"It's a deal and this is the last time I do anything like this for you." Patty said sternly.

"Trust me this isn't fun for me either. I'm not ready to have a kid hell I can barely keep myself out of trouble." Carly replied.

"Yeah well you better hope that you're not pregnant I'm too young for you to make me an aunt. I expect my first niece or nephew to come from Hank." Patty glared at Carly the things that she allowed her to talk her into sometimes.

"Thank you sister of mine I love you so much." Carly said hugging her.

"I love you too don't make me regret this." Patty warned knowing that she should have never agreed to this.


Phoebe, Coop, Prue, and Jake were sitting at a table in a restaurant none of them were really talking. They were waiting on Ben to show up. Phoebe thought it was best to meet in a public place so he couldn't make a scene. Prue was avoiding meeting her brother's gaze because she would spill if she did.

"Alright what's going on here guys?" Jake asked he had noted the fifth place setting.

"Greg is meeting us here and Jakie I'm begging you to be nice for an hour. That is all I'm asking for. I'm not saying that you have to act like you love him I just want you to be civil to him." Phoebe pleaded with him. She knew that his damn stubborn Halliwell genes didn't allow him to be reasonable but it wouldn't kill him to be civil.

"Prue you knew about this and you managed to keep your mouth shut the one time I needed you to tell me something." Jake said glaring at his sister they were supposed to look out for each other.

"Sorry Jake I knew how you would have reacted I couldn't tell you." Prue reasoned with him.

"That is exactly why you should have told me. I don't trust myself to be in the same room as him and be nice." Jake rolled his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest.

"Knock it off you two here he comes." Coop said he wasn't exactly thrilled that another of Phoebe's children had shown up out of the blue but he accepted him because he loved her so much.

Ben walked over to the table and kissed Phoebe on the cheek before he shook Coop's hand "Hi mom, hi dad sorry I'm late class ran a little late today and I couldn't get away any sooner." He was seriously laying it on thick but he had to in order to make them trust him.

"It's ok sweetie you're not that late." Phoebe said cheerfully while Jake looked at him through narrowed eyes.

"Hi Prue it's good to see you again." Greg said hugging her.

"It's good to see you too Greg." Prue replied hugging him back.

"Jake." Ben said offering him his hand.

Jake reluctantly took his hand he was only doing it for his mother "Greg." He said stiffly.

"So Greg what are you going to school for?" Coop asked when he saw that his oldest son was going to be able to be nice for long.

"I'm going to be a lawyer." Ben answered.

"Imagine that Jake is going to be a lawyer too." Phoebe replied.

"That has yet to be decided mom I was only tossing the idea around. I think that I would make a pretty good marriage counselor." Jake said winking at his dad.

"Say hello to a higher divorce rate San Francisco." Prue cracked dryly.

"And they trust you with children Prue I shudder to think about how many of them will be living out on the streets because of you." Jake shot back in a good natured tone.

Ben looked back and forth between his brother and sister "Are they normally like this?" he asked filing it away for later use. Anything could be helpful to him.

"Yes they are always like this if they didn't argue we would think there was something wrong with them." Coop answered.

"Please daddy he is my little brother if I didn't give him a hard time then he wouldn't be good for anything." Prue replied like he was being ridiculous.

"So is this the kind of thing I can expect from you on a regular basis?" Ben asked he was trying to force his way in with the oldest five. The best chances he had of doing just that were with Prue and Wyatt.

"Yes I treat all my little brothers like this it has worked wonders with Jake. Without me there is no way he would be a functioning member of society." Prue smiled at him. And Jake fought the urge to roll his eyes. He couldn't believe that his sister was swallowing all his bullshit hook line and sinker.

"Wyatt said you would say something like that. We've actually been hanging out once a week trying to get to know each other better." Ben replied.

Jake felt the tips of his ears go red from anger. Wyatt had been too busy to hang out with him and they were best friends in addition to being cousins. Yet somehow he had found the time for him. He didn't know whether to be pissed or hurt. The two people he loved most in his family were pretty much turning their backs on him for someone they had known less than a month. Honestly he was beginning to see what Chris and Henry had been saying for years he and Wyatt both trusted too easily. And then he wasn't as bad as Wyatt. For him to be twice blessed he didn't know shit about watching his ass.

"You have to take what Wyatt says with a grain of salt everyone knows that." Prue said rolling her eyes. Her older cousin had no room to talk about how she acted with her younger siblings when he was an overprotective jerk.

"I'll keep that in mind but I have been getting that from multiple sources. Parker said that I had to watch out for you or you would be trying to set me up against my will. And Liz said that I had to watch out for you and Jake both or you would get me in all kind of trouble." Ben replied he just might have found the opening he was looking for.


"So you mean to tell me that you have known for three weeks that Tim is back in town and you didn't tell me?" Nicole Shane asked her two children incredulously.

Troy pointed to his sister "No she has known for three weeks that he is back in town she only told me last week." He wasn't going down for this one he was the innocent party in all of this.

"First of all Troy I have a name. And second off I didn't want to tell either of you that he was back until I could figure out why he was back. I had Chris and Henry do some digging around but they couldn't find anything. So your guess is as good as mine as to why he came back." Liz replied she was not going to take the fall for him coming back he had hurt her more than enough for one lifetime.

"Lizzie that is not the point. The point is you should have told me he was back. I shouldn't have had to find out by bumping into him at the store and then having him tell me he went to see you. I should have heard that first hand from you." Nicole reasoned with her youngest child.

"Mom I have been trying to block the fact that he came back from my memory. I don't want to think about him being here. If I don't let him in then he can't hurt me again." Liz really didn't feel like stressing over him anymore.

"Liz trust me when I say I will never ever let him hurt you again but you still should have told me. I've spent the last eighteen years trying to forget about that man walking out and what it did to you kids. All it took was seeing him one time for the past to come rushing back on me." Nicole ran her fingers through her hair like she did when she got flustered.

Troy ran his hand across his chin "That still doesn't explain why the hell he came back. I mean why now? He had the chance to come back when he first left but he never did. Why wait almost twenty years? It makes no logical sense."

"Troy nothing he did ever made sense the only thing we could count on him for was to break his promises." Liz said trying to make him see reason.

"Look against my better judgment I will call him and see why he is back. I don't want either of you to worry about anything. I let him hurt you babies once it will not happen again." Nicole assured them.

"Mom we're not babies anymore we can handle him I got over him leaving a long time ago. I know just how I would like to handle him too he could do with a swift kick in the ass." Troy raged he hated his father with a burning passion.

Liz rolled her eyes at her brother "Mom the idiot I call my older brother is right we did just fine without him for all these years we didn't need him then and we don't need him now. There is no use in you calling him and bringing up ancient history."

"If I know anything I know Tim Shane he has a reason for doing everything he does. He wouldn't have come back if he didn't want something. I'm going to find out want he wants and then I'm going to tell him to do what he does best leave. But like I said I don't want you two wasting any time worrying about him because I'm going to take care of it." Nicole put her foot down with the both of them.

"Fine mom I've got it but I really have to go now I'm supposed to be meeting my boyfriend." Liz said consulting her watch she missed her boyfriend she hadn't seen him all day.

Nicole smiled at that "Tell Wy that I said hi and he needs to come by and see me sometimes. I'm not going to threaten him over you I'm sure that Troy has already done that for me."

"Mom they have both been threatened with a dire number of things if they do anything to hurt each other. I assure you that none of us could take it if they broke up." Troy said dramatically.

"Troy go stun gun yourself I don't have time to argue with you right now." Liz smiled at him sweetly and kissed her mom before she walked out the door.


Oh boy. Patty thought to herself when she walked through the door and she saw the pissed off look on her mom and dad's faces. This was not going to end well she mentally cursed Carly for ever talking her into this. "Hi mom, hi dad." She said trying to sound upbeat. When Paige frowned at her she sighed. This so wasn't going to end well.

"Patricia do you know what this is?" Henry asked holding up the box for a home pregnancy test in front of her face.

"It looks like a pregnancy test to me dad." Patty answered unable to keep the sarcasm out of her voice. She wasn't helping her case any Henry was already beyond pissed he had called her by her given name.

"What he meant to ask was who does it belong to. I know that it's not mine obviously I have no need for it I know that I'm with child." Paige said pointing to her swollen belly.

"Well that is something I really don't know where it came from." Patty said giving a nervous grin.

"The way you're acting right now leads me to believe that you are covering for your sister yet again." Henry sighed his oldest daughter was such a handful. "I swear if this is Carly's I'm going to kill her this time. She is seriously out of control."

Patty had momentarily contemplated telling the truth but she couldn't not after what her dad said. She didn't want Carly to be in trouble unless there was a good reason for her to be. "Actually daddy it's mine." She felt the blush creeping up her neck Carly owed her so big for this one it wasn't funny.

"Patricia Charlotte Matthews Mitchell Halliwell." Paige yelled at her daughter.

Patty groaned she was in so much trouble her mother had used her long name. "What mom?" she asked meekly she was not used to being in trouble that was more Carly's area. And that was not to mention what her brother would do when he found out and he more than likely would.

"Don't you what mom me young lady. I always thought you were the one out of you two girls that knew when to exercise your common sense. You have no clue what bringing a baby into this world entails." Paige ranted and raved when deep down she wanted to cry Patty was her baby girl the thought of her having a baby so young was too much for her to bear.

"Mom it was an accident I didn't do this on purpose." Patty offered up an argument she knew she had to or her cover would be blown.

Henry rubbed his temples to calm himself "Well what did the damn test say?" he asked testily.

"It was inconclusive I guess it is just too soon to tell. But trust me you guys will know as soon as I know." Patty said cursing Carly to hell for ever getting her to agree to this.

"I can't believe that you and Ricky could be this careless you are both smarter than this. What are you both going to do with a child you're still in high school." Paige made a valid point.

"Mom I don't know I obviously didn't think this through all the way." Patty said and it was the truth her sister hadn't thought this through at all. She didn't know what she would do if she had a kid that was part of the reason she and Ricky hadn't had sex yet.

Henry glared at her "Haven't thought it through all the way? I think that might be the understatement of the year pal."

"Derek will kill Ricky when he finds out about this. Which he will right after I call Eva and talk to her." Paige went on hell bent on destroying her youngest daughter's life.

Patty rubbed her temples on if she had known they were going to react this way she would have never agreed to this. "Mom I really wish you wouldn't do that. I mean I don't even know for sure there is no sense in having everyone worried when it might turn out not to be an issue." She hoped it wasn't an issue or she was going to kill Carly for putting her through this.

"Babe Derek and Eva are both out of town right now you're not going to get very far with that. I guess we just leave the matter rest right now." Henry said trying to calm his wife the stress was not good for the baby at all.

"Thank you dad that is what I've been saying there more than likely isn't any reason to worry." Patty said glad that one of her parents was reasonable.

"Don't thank me just yet. You're grounded until you get some concrete results. I don't want you and Ricky alone together at all. How long you're grounded depends on what your results are. You know what I don't want you seeing Ricky at all. I think that I can trust you enough to stay grounded. But I also thought you were smart enough not to get pregnant. So I have been wrong before." Henry laid down the law.

Patty felt tears slowly making their way down her face. Now she knew why Carly hadn't wanted to tell them it was hers. This was unfair on so many levels she hadn't even done anything and now she was in a world of trouble. What was worse Ricky was going to hate her they hadn't ever slept together and he would think that she had cheated on him. "Mom, dad I swear this isn't what you think." She tried.

"Patricia don't you dare stand here and lie to me be woman enough to admit it." Paige said a hint of sadness in her voice.

You can't admit to something you haven't done. I hate my sister so much right now. Patty thought to herself. "Mom I swear that I never meant for this to happen."

"Just save it go to your room and don't leave it until it's time for you to go to work. I don't think I can look at you right now without my heart breaking." Henry said sounding like he was close to tears himself.

Patty only cried harder she hated her parents being disappointed in her they never looked at her the way they were looking at her now. and what was worse was they would never just let her stand there and cry. "Ok I'm really sorry about all this I didn't mean to disappoint you guys." She said meekly before she made the trek up to her room where she cried into her pillow until she drifted off to sleep.


Chuck was pacing back and forth in front of his brother he didn't know what to say to him. Hell he didn't even want to believe it but he was reasonably sure that Paige wouldn't lie to him about something like this. He couldn't believe that his little brother was that careless.

"Chuck you are making me nervous. Why don't you just tell me what you wanted to talk to me about?" Ricky asked he had no clue why his brother had made him come over to his apartment. He hadn't done anything that he could remember they hadn't been after any demons since they got rid of Ken.

Chuck sighed this was going to be very difficult for him "Ricky how could you be so stupid?" he asked.

"Chuck I have no idea what you're talking about." Ricky informed him flatly all the while thinking his brother had lost his mind.

"Don't you try to play innocent with me. I know that you have enough sense to know that you use a condom when you have sex." Chuck vented at him.

Ricky looked at his oldest brother completely stunned he didn't know what he was talking about for sure now. He had never had sex so Chuck must have had him confused with someone else. "Chuck I don't know what you're talking about I've never had sex."

Chuck shook his head at him he had never taken his brother for a liar "Don't lie to me Ricky. You have had sex I can't think of any other reason why Charlie would have needed a pregnancy test."

"I'm not lying Chuck I've never had sex and neither has Charlie." Ricky maintained not knowing where his brother had gotten this from.

"So then Aunt Paige is lying I'll be sure to call and tell her that. Because she told me that Charlie admitted to taking a pregnancy test and the results were inconclusive. So in about nine months I might be an uncle before my time." Chuck raved he didn't know how to act with Ricky he had never done something so stupid.

Ricky felt all the air leave his lungs like someone had punched him in the stomach. He knew that he had never had sex with his girlfriend and she wasn't known for lying so that could only mean one thing. She had cheated on him with someone else. "Chuck I don't know how that is possible."

"Derek Brian Bradford Jr. I told you to stop lying to me. You're grounded and you can't see Charlie either." Chuck said a touch of finality in his voice.

Ricky could feel hot tears spring to his eyes he had to talk to her because he had to hear it from her. "Chuck I want you to listen to me carefully. I will swear on a stack of holy bibles if that is what it takes. But I am telling you I have never had sex. So if she got pregnant the kid is someone else's."

Chuck looked deep into his eyes and he could tell that he wasn't lying to him "Ricky you have never lied to me about something like this before so I'm more than inclined to believe you."

Ricky buried his head in his hands "What did I do that was wrong? I think I love her and she did this to me. I thought that she cared about me. I would never do anything to hurt her." He cried.

Chuck went to him and put his arms around him "Hey come on now big guy it will all be ok I promise. Maybe it's not what any of us think. I'm sure that she would never do anything to hurt you either but sometimes we all make mistakes. We learn from those mistakes."

"Chuck it hurts so bad right now I think someone ripped my heart out." Ricky cried harder.

Chuck lifted his chin with his fingers "Hey now I can't have you talking like that. With you being a witch that is not a good thing if that happens you are like to turn into something evil." He tried to joke with him.

Ricky gave him a small smile that he didn't really feel "Ok I'm going to go home now I have to work later." he said wanting to be alone.

"Ok forget what I said about being grounded for the record I'm sorry as hell." Chuck offered.

"It's alright you didn't crush my heart you don't have to be sorry. I just need you to be here for me if the worst comes to pass." Ricky said before he projected out.


Brady hearted into the Halliwell cousin's living room he had nothing else to do with his time at the moment. So he figured why not aggravate the hell out his cousins and sister. When he saw the sight before him that didn't seem like such a good idea. Henry was pacing around like crazy while Chris and Prue tried to calm him down. Wyatt was sitting on the couch hugged up with Liz and Chuck was just sitting around looking numb.

"Hey guys." Brady said cheerfully.

"Hey Brady." Wyatt replied just as cheerfully.

"I can't believe that my sweet innocent baby sister might be pregnant. And on top of that I can't believe she is a whore this can not be happening." Henry ranted and raved. Chuck had made the mistake of telling him about the Patty and Ricky situation.

"Relax Hank I'm sure it's not as bad as you think it is." Prue offered she didn't know what else to say to him.

"Yeah Prue is right for all we know this could be her covering for Carly. Which with those two is entirely possible." Chris agreed quickly. Not knowing how right on the money he really was.

"What would you do if it was Mel Chris?" Henry asked.

"I would kill Roman and D.J. both because with her it would be one of those two people." Chris replied calmly.

"But that is just the thing with Charlie if it wasn't Ricky then I don't know who it is. I can't imagine her sleeping with some random guy. It took her two years to admit that she had feelings for Ricky and I just can't see her doing anything to hurt him." Henry resumed his pacing.

"Do I want to know what is going on?" Brady asked throwing himself down in the first empty chair he found.

Liz shook her head "No you don't want to know. But I'll tell you anyway Charlie might be pregnant but if she is the baby isn't Ricky's because they haven't had sex."

Brady nodded his head in understanding "Oh now I'm sorry that I asked that would explain why Hank is pacing."

"Yeah it's not a good subject for him right now. And I can't believe you showed up here willingly Prue is still gunning for you." Chuck said the man was living in dangerous territory after what he did to Hank and Bianca.

"I had nothing else to do Jack and Alan are working at P3 right now. Paige and Dom have been banned from demon hunting by Piper. So I have no one to back me up I'm may be crazy but I'm not stupid." Brady said reasonably.

"That is proof enough right there that you're not a Halliwell. We aren't known for waiting for backup." Prue said not knowing how deeply that comment had cut him.

"You never know you might get surprised one day Prue one us might actually use the sense we were born with when it comes to demons." Chris said winking at Brady.

"I doubt it Peanut not even the aunts are that good." Wyatt replied to his brother's statement.

"Hey lets get back to my baby sister being a slut." Henry yelled out his sisters made him want to pull his hair out.

"Henry Charlie is not a slut. I assure you when this is all said and done with it is most likely going to be Carly's test. Charlie is just covering for her now stop worrying." Liz said getting tired of him throwing a fit.

"Lizzie is probably right so right now I will bet you that she is right and you're wrong. We'll hammer out the details of this bet later when I win." Chris said trying to cheer him up.

"Fine but I hope that I lose this bet." Henry said crossing his arms over his chest.

"We all hope you lose this bet Hank." Chuck chimed in.


"Grandma this is ridiculous Dom and I are grown we know what we're doing." Paige bitched sitting at the kitchen counter.

"Paige you giving demon hunting a rest for a day isn't going to kill you. It will be good for you, you can't even turn your neck right now." Piper pointed out to her stubborn grandchild.

Dom threw his hands up in the air "Thank you Aunt Piper I have trying to tell her that all day."

Paige twisted her neck and it popped "I'm only like this because I'm stiff I wouldn't be if I wasn't sitting right now." she said logically.

"When you say things like that I swear that Bianca is your mother and not Julie." Piper joked.

"Aunt Piper don't go there." Dom warned when he saw the look on her face.

"Really the last thing I need is to be compared to Aunt B." Paige agreed with her fiancé.

"Oh relax I was just joking. I've never met a Halliwell that couldn't joke before your dad is just a bag full of jokes." Piper said dismissing her.

"She jokes too Aunt Piper she is just mad right now because you took all her fun away from her." Alan said as he orbed in.

"Well hello Alan you're supposed to be at the club." Piper greeted him.

"Sorry I just thought of something that I have to look up in the book and it couldn't wait I didn't want to forget it again. I need to borrow Paige and Dom for a minute." Alan said and Piper nodded that he could take them. He led them up to the attic.

"Al what do you want?" Paige asked she was more than a little cranky.

Alan looked around to make sure no one else was around "I just thought you would like to know I did the math and the thirteen's big show down with the source is in the next couple of days. We need to stay out of the way. Not only that but you know after that this whole mess with Ben is going to come crashing down. We need to think of how to minimize the damage."

Dom just shook his head "Oh shit this is gonna be good." He groaned.


A/N: So the big show down with the source is at hand the outcome can't be good at all I'm actually scared for them and I know what's going to happen. On one hand they will be rid of Gorgon but on the other hand that means they will then shift their focus to Ben. Phoebe won't just let them say a little spell to vanquish him things could get messy. It looks Patty got herself in more trouble than she bargained for when she agreed to cover for Carly. No one but Chris and Henry know that Brady is a Halliwell. Paige might be overdoing it in the demon department it is taking a toll on her but someone had to help Jack and Alan fix the future they weren't doing a good job of it alone. It makes you wonder what Liz and Troy's dad wants after being gone for so long. Until next time please review.
