Death to the Witch
Prologue.
Although the Source had effected Belthazor and convinced his now ex-wife that their child to be was pure evil and had no resemblance to either her or Belthazor. The reality of the situation was quite different the child was hers and Cole's/Belthazor's and once rid of the sources control had regained his demonic powers which had been stripped by Emma as he was never vanquished. As a result Cole moved from San Francisco to Texas and raised his son, which he named after his father.
Cole brought a house in an affluent area of Texas and got a job as a lawyer at one of the many firms, which span the width of the United States. He had created a nursery and brought numerous toys for his young son. Though Cole had no intention of denying his son his heritage he desperately wanted to bring him up in the mortal realm. Cole no longer had any interest in good or evil per see as he himself realized that this was a very narrow way of looking at the world in general which was covered in many layers of gray. The concept of innocence to Cole had become bunk humans often made their own graves and were as removed from good in that way they were more similar to demons that the creatures of good that purported to protect them.
Ben was looked after bye Cole constantly or as much as possible he fed clothed and adored his son. There were no annoying sister-in-laws to tell him how evil he was and that had to be a blessing. Ben had brown hair like his mother with his father's bright blue eyes. Cole had moved on and had at least got something out of his relationship with Phoebe, which is more than can be said for her.
Cole had as little to do with the supernatural world as possible as he viewed both sides of the divide as potentially hostile. A reality that would inevitable come to be regardless.
As soon as Ben was a toddler Cole had no choice but to place him in day care if he wanted to work and make a life for his small family. Ben was like any normal toddler in a way he was full of energy and loved climbing on everything. He seemed to settle as well as any toddler can do at a daycare centre. This was not what Cole had wanted for his son but the alternative was too dreadful to contemplate. Marring again for him was out of the question not because he was unable to find a date but because his child was simply unique. At the day centre of which Cole promptly picked Ben up from work every evening many single mothers had been eying him off. Cole tried to remain oblivious to this obvious attention he was getting as in this town there were not many single fathers about.
Ben was a bright an inquisitive toddler always getting into places he shouldn't. He ran around the room and the outside yard playing with, the various equipment provided. Ben was highly excitable and believed like the majority of youngsters his age that sleep was imposed on him and he could happily go on playing indefinitely. Instead of sleeping on the mats provided several children some elder than Ben decided to play ghosts with their sheets. Brittney, Steven, Casey were already making loud ooo-ooo noises under the sheet much to the annoyance of the teacher Bianca and her assistant Melanie. Ben and a couple of other younger children decided that this was a lot more fun than nap time and Melanie and Bianca found it almost impossible to control the excitable children. Ooo went Ben as he began to levitate slightly in the air underneath the white sheet provided as Melanie fell of the chair she was sitting on screaming. This startled the children some what as they began to cry but Ben's sheet floated gently back down on to the mat and he was no where to be seen.
