Chapter 2: Family Secrets Surprise!

"Oh my god, Phoebe!" Liz was hugging her long time cousin she hadn't seen for a long time. She looked so different now last time I heard she was starting collage again and now a successful advice columnist. The weirdest thing that happened after they let go was that she felt as is something's going to change. Something that's going to change for her.

"Liz!" Maria yelled my name running towards them.

"Um hey, Maria." Liz was telling her former best friend talk to her the moment she ran here pushing her blonde hair back all excited looking at my cousin. We hadn't spoken in a while since she found out the thing with Kyle. Liz hadn't had the heart to tell her what really happen. Right now she's been avoiding the group like they did with her.

"How in the world do you know Phoebe Halliwell? Girl, don't leave the details!" Maria smile anxiously tugging Liz's arm looking at her cousin, Phoebe.

"Umm were cousins actually." She explained.

"Your cousins! Why didn't you tell me this! She is famous worldwide columnist and with her own book." Hold out a book in her face with Liz's cousin's face on it. Liz grabbed it looking at it mouth a gaped and looking at Phoebe.

"Explain this."

"Oh I wasn't going to tell you that yet, so… come meet my family!" Quickly handing back Maria's book and heading towards her friends and a man and three little girls.

"This is my husband, Coop." Introducing her to her husband who was very good-looking to Liz's opinion.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet. Phoebe told me all about and my little girls were excited to meet you too." He said with a perfect smile.

"Wow this really nice to finally nice to meet you." Trying to shake his hand holding on to a little baby girl and bending down to see two adorable little girls, smiling shyly.

"And you two are?" Liz smile at them making them excited and really shy to say hi.

"This baby girl my darling husband is holding his Patricia, call her Patty. My second oldest daughter Penelope, you can call her Penny. And my oldest daughter and my little lady bug. Prue." Phoebe babbling on to Liz introducing her daughters.

Liz froze shaking the oldest in the groups hand after hearing that name. She named her Prue was all Liz heard echoing in her head. She even gave the other two her late aunt and grandmother names that died years. It brought sad memories and good ones too for her. Those names made her smile. They deserve those names smiling at them.

"It's very nice meet you lovely girls. And I hope to see the rest of you guys soon." Hugging the both of the so tightly they caught Liz with a combined bear hug.

"Others?" Liz turns and looked up and saw Max looking her of who these people they are talking about with rest of the alien/human group of friends.

"Oh hey Max…Everyone. I'm' talking about the rest of my family from my father's side. My other cousins Piper and Paige are also here with their families and they get to visit me over winter vacation." Explaining to her former boyfriend.

"Oh that reminds me because Paige really wants to meet you face to face since we've been emailing most of the time with you. So let's get going or Piper' gonna kill me if were late." Pushing Liz forward smiling looking at Max empathically and staring behind Liz's back followed by her husband and kids.

"I don't really care she's famous Maria but she seems like a weirdo." Michael told her without feeling towards his girlfriend getting a slap in the head by Maria's book.

"Show some respect space boy." Smiling her boyfriend with a warning look.

Max had a weird chill as he felt like somebody was in his head as he looked on at Liz's family he saw one of the little girls look at him. The one with the long brown hair and pink silk dress. Prue? Right? That was her name she was looking at him weirdly like she knew what he was thinking or…feeling. Prue gave a stern look and smiled waving her hand goodbye at him.

All that Max did was wave back politely with a weak smile. "Did you know Liz had another family outside of Roswell?"

"Well she does have some family left from her father's side living in San Francisco but I'm surprised they finally came because all these emergencies. I'm also kind of surprised Liz is not having emotional breakdown hearing that name again." Alex scratched his head surprised.

"What you mean surprised? What name?" Tess curiously asked.

"You heard it already, Prue." Maria told now explaining the whole thing.

The Crashdown was packed and Jeff was excited to see hid nieces coming to see them again. He of all people was finally happy to see them for a long time now. Almost ten years. But he also knew why they never visited them anytime soon was the day his mom, Penny Halliwell died and now got their power back they had a rough time protecting the innocent. Though Jeff was never born a witch like his mother, sister, and nieces. Jeff Parker made sure his daughter stayed clueless of her heritage and safe from the dangers. He kept Liz from her powers as a witch.

Jeff was keeping stock on supplies and check if more was being shipped in until he noticed two women come in. One was familiar to him since he knew that was his niece, Piper. She was scanning the area until she noticed him. She walked down with another girl beside her arms raised up. Jeff gave her niece a big hug.

"Uncle Jeff it's so great to see you. You look great. How's Aunt Nancy?" Piper released from the hug.

"Piper! Wow this favorite niece who looked like the shy girl I knew." Jeff could hardly believe how she changed and dressed He turned his direction to the other woman beside her and new for that was his other niece. He walked towards her to give her a good look at the new member of the family.

"You must be Paige. Gosh you have Patty's check bones. You even have resemblance to Prue." Jeff explained to her.

"It's finally nice to meet you. It's better in person than email with you or Liz." Paige shakes his hand and gives her million dollar smile. When the entrance the café door opened two men came out with six children running towards Piper and Paige.

"Uncle Jeff these are our kids and these two are husbands." Piper pointed towards the two men coming their way as well.

"Hi. I'm Leo."

"Henry."

"It's nice to meet the men who are taking care of my nieces. Phoebe should be here with Liz in a while. You can make yourself comfy in the Crashdown, whatever you order is on me." He said handing one of the little ones a menu.

"Thanks Uncle Jeff. These guys been bugging me something to eat all day if they don't get three meals a day." Paige pick up her son on to the chair as Henry picked up the twins. Henry starts to look at the menu for the kids when Piper, Paige and, Leo talked to Jeff with worried glances.

"Listen Uncle Jeff I know we all haven't talked in while but we thinks it's important to tell you this and first of you might think were crazy and…"

"I know you guys are witches." Jeff let it come out to get Piper to stop talking. This gives all three of them surprised glances.

"Yeah I knew since I was never born with powers of my own and constantly ducking from demon attacks mom and Patty had to take. You think you could try and explain that to me kiddo? " Remembering his time growing up in the Manor and balancing his arm against the dinning counter.

"Well let's just cut to the chase. Does Liz know?" Paige asked concerned.

"No mom bound her powers after she developed them as toddler. She even made sure Liz couldn't get her powers back after your grandmother died and you guys got your powers back."

"She could that?" Paige seemed all little curious how Gram's could make the impossible, possible as a super witch.

"Mom made small book of shadows for her just in case something happens. Liz would have to read the spell to give back her powers. So she's safes from any demon and god knows what."

All three of them gave worried glance as Jeff walked to get the kids orders and handed it to them plates of delicious meals for the kids."

"Do aliens really exist?" Wyatt chewing on piece of bacon.

"Oh I don't know but I do have a picture of a real when their spaceship crashed here. Wanna see?" Jeff said getting a hold of a picture in his back pocket.

"Don't give these kids ideas, Uncle Jeff. These kids have powers and this one could make that alien picture we could end with full foot alien." Leo implied what Wyatt can do whispering without anyone noticing

"Sorry bud, maybe next time." Jeff put the picture back in his pocket making Wyatt pout sipping his juice.

"Uncle Jeff we think you should tell her she has right to know especially what's happing right now is really an emergency." Piper explained to him quickly.

"What do you mean?" Before she could answer she heard someone call her name and turned to see Phoebe came with the rest of the party and Liz smiling happily to see her family again.

"Liz!" Smiled as Liz ran to give her hug and turn to see Paige. She looked at her saw so much and knew instantly this was her cousin she had so many resemblances to her father's side of the family.

"Hi I'm Liz and your must be Paige." Liz shook Paige's hand giving a similar millionaire smile like Paige's.

"Paige and you are my long distant cousin. I glad to meet the rest of my family." Paige could hardly finally meet everyone in her family now from the long battle of good and evil.

"Dad, do you want me to get to work while I catch up with everyone?" Liz asked prepared for work.

"Oh know you can have the day of today Lizzie. Go spend time with the girls and catch up. Your mom and I got everything under control. Jeff told his daughter.

"Really? Thanks dad!" She gave her dad hug over the counter and ran back to her cousins.

"Can you guys give me a few minutes? I need to change."

'Take your time were not going anywhere." Phoebe smiled at her excited they get to hang out again and explore Roswell while they're here. Liz quickly nodded and ran to the back upstairs in her room. She looked at her closet and check whatever to wear. She quickly put on casual dress skirt and silk blue top. She put her brown hair pulled back and then put in a pony tail in the front on her left shoulder. She checked in the mirror and thought it was good to wear. The wind was blowing as she turn around to close the window or at least see if it's Max coming to see what she's doing.

Liz turned around saw nothing but the window closed and thought how weird it was. She'll check on that later as she opened the door and leave. The winds blew again and forcibly shut the door and made her nervous and turn and saw nothing change. Ever thing was still the same but saw something glowing in the patio outside her window glow. One the bricks of her wall blow white around it and confuse but with wonder came closer to it outside. She was thinking it was her hidden journal, but that was impossible.

She pulled the brick and tugged it until it was pulled out. The light faded and Liz she surprised and amazed at the same time. The brick was hollow and she found a book in the brick. What in the world is this was all Liz thought.

Did her parents put this here? Why was this book in here? This was something she'd ask them later. She opens the book to the first page and saw the title to the first page: Reverse Binding. She then chants out loud.

Reverse the flow of power,

Turn back the rhyme,

Bring back my power,

I call forth the in the ancient ways,

Families across my line send me the force,

Make my power soar.

After she finished the last line the wind pick up and the sounds of bells. She felt different in a way. What was that?

"Liz come on! We are waiting down here!" She heard Piper yell up stairs.

"Coming! Just give me second!" She yelled back as she quickly put the book in her purse and take it with her. She thought about taking it with her while she hanging out with her cousins. He could probably look at the book more. She left her room and ran down quickly and left to see her cousins waiting for her.

"Are you ready?" Phoebe asked her.

"I am. We can go now right?"

"Will take my van. Let's go." Piper said as the were walking out the back and the Crashdown ready to have that family time magic. Like when Liz and her cousins were little. But little she knew someone was watching her. He was watching her across the road in black trench coat. He smiled with vile smile and pulled the side of his chestnut hair back.

He knew what happened and now he'll what he's waiting for decades of planning coming into action. Piper started the car and drove off when the van past him. In the blink of an eye he vanished.
