The family actually took the relationship and the boundries they set pretty well. Piper insisted on adoption though she wanted grandkids after all. (evil laugh here.) Ray dodged a fireball and Wyatt orbed in and thre lighting at the creature and it shimmered out as Chris orbed in. "How many does that make now?" Ray asked annoyed and dusting himself off. "Three this week." Wyatt said and Chris walked up and kissed them both. "What is up with these demons. I know they have to kill us but I have a meeting on line in five minutes." He said and they laughed. "Like they care that you are negotiating prices or what ever." Chris said and Ray hit him in the shoulder. "Owe." He said and pouted giving Ray his big eyes. "You are so cute and it kills me." Ray said kissing him and Chris smiled. Ray suddenly felt faint and sat down. "You ok?" Asked Wyatt and he nodded. "I think I just over excerted myself with that last attack. He was a duzzy. I'll just go up and do that meeting then I think a nap." Ray said and they nodded.

Chris stood in the attic at the Manor looking at the book. "Crinton's. Creatures of poison who can kill you with one bite." Piper read stepping beside him. "You find one?' She asked and he smiled. "More like it found us." He said and she laughed. "So any news on grandkids?" Asked Piper and Chris smiled. "We're practicing." Chris smiled and she giggled. "What ever. Just make sure i get them or no demon will match my furry." Piper said and Chris nodded. "You look worried." She said looking at Chris face. "Yea. Ray nearly fainted after an attack today." He said and she looked concerned. "He ok?" She asked and he nodded. "He was fine one minute than needed to sit down." Chris said and she went and got a few things. "Orb." She said and they appeared in the guy's room with Ray puking into the toilet. "You ok baby?" Asked Chris and he nodded. "Ray sit up." Piper said and took a crystal and ran it over his stomach and it glowd. "I'll be damned." Piper smiled. "What?" Asked Chris and she was smiling. "I'm going to ba a grandma." She cheered and Ray looked up. "Excuse me?" He asked and Piper nodded. he saw star's than fainted in Chris's arms. Chris laid him in bed and orbed crystals around him.

They walked down as Derrick and Bradin shimmered in. "We have something to tell you. Wyatt now!" Chris said and he orbed in and stood with them. "Ray is pregnant." Chris smiled and they were all stunned. "Who's is it?" Bradin asked hopping. "We can do a blood test." Piper said and they nooded. As she did Ray came down and was stepping down as a demon shimmered in behind him. "Look out!" Bradin said and he killed him but not before the fire ball was hurling towards Ray. A firey sheild raised with his own. "What the hell." Wyatt said and the sheild dropped. "i think we know who to test." Chris said smiling pointing at the Westerly boy's. Ray stood stunned and walked down and into Wyatt's arms hugging him an dthe rest hugged him. "Ok." Piper said and prepared the test.

One bowl had a clear liquid in it and Ray, Bradin, and Derrick put a drop of blood in and it showed Bradin who smiled. "Yes!" He said and kissed Ray. "Sorry dude." Chris smiled and Derrick shrugged. "Derrick. Your all daddy to this baby. No matter who is bio." Bradin said and Derrick smiled. Derrick suddenly felt weird to. "Whoa." He said and he sat down. "I think we have another." Chris smiled and they did the test all of them and Chris'' face was shown. "Cool.' Chris said and Derricklaughed. "What?' Asked Wyatt. "i know. As many times as Derrick topped Chris you'd think he'd be the one knock up." Ray said and Chris blushed. Piper just blushed to and they giggled. "My son's are horny toads." Piper smiled. "You and dad aren't much better." Wyatt said and Piper had to admit it was true. "Yeah good thing she tied the tuibes or we'd have four other's sibs at least." Chris said and Piper swatted him. "Well fell up to vanquishing a demon?" Chris asked them both and they nodded. "But.." Piper said. "We have sheilds Aunt Piper. Plus to make you feel better we'll hange back and play support and they can do the big stuf. I'll just do the spell." Ray said and Piper nodded smiling. "Your more controled than me." She smiled and Ray hugged her. "Tell the fam." Ray said hearting her to the Manor.

They shimmered down knowing it'd be harder to detect. Derrick stayed close to Ray and they walked around looking. They walked and saw a chamber filled with dark lighter's and other demons. "This is not good." Wyatt said and they all nodded. "Chris channel my sheild power and Derrick stay back." Ray said and got right by him. "Why?' Derrick asked. "Your baby has white lighter blood. Chris is half. That mean your baby is vunerable to dark lighter poison." Bradin said and Derrick held his stomach and Ray saw and took his chin in his hand. "Don't worry no one will hurt our baby. Neither of them." Ray said placing his hand onhis own belly letting Derrick know he understood. Bradin lead Wyatt and Chris out into the chanber and then kept taking demon's down. Bradin conjured wealpon after weapon and killed them. Wyatt fried tons while Chris exploded them. A arrow went Chris's way and Derrick paniced and raised his hand and a sheild protected Chris. Chris looked to him and smiled at him. Derrick sighed and smiled to. He and Ray killed them from a far. Ray shocked himself conjuring a Phoenix grade weapon but quickly recovered and threw it. He got three as the knife split and they were impaled. "Wow." Said Bradin seeing and killed three more.

The Crinton appeared and he had buddies. Ray pushed Derrick up against the wall and shimmered. Derrick was shocked he shimmered but recovered and hit a dark lighter aiming for Wyatt. Ray lifted his hands. "Bradin out!" Ray said and Bradin shimmered out and to Derrick protecting him as Ray raised his hands and every dark lighter in the room was incenerated in a gulf of fire. The beast were stunned an dthe three grouped. "Beast of poison you seep through the world with your evil, Be no more we are the cure!" They chanted and the beast both exploded and Ray sat on the groud tired. "You ok?" Chris asked as him and Wyatt helped him up. "Yeah that combustion took it out of me. It wasn't the baby though." Ray said knowingly. Chris thought about it and they orbed back up. They appeared and Ava was there with the other's and they helped them sit. "You ok?" Asked Ava and Ray nodded. "Just spent. There were a lot of demons." Derrick said sighing and sitting leaning into Ray's arms. "You both ok?" Jay asked an dthey all smiled. "We're preger's." Ray said and the three hugge dthem all. "Your pregnant and you went on a hunt." Ava said sitting. "We stayed out of it and were back up. We didn't do more than was needed with it be dark lighter's. Chris was able to channel my sheild and didn't need us much. Oh and that fancey sheild power that Chris and Derrick's has came in handy to." Ray said an dthey nodded. "Yeah we stayed out of it until I had to vanquish and that was quick. Very quick." Ray said and they nodded. "What happened?" Asked Susannah. "Ray's power's are groing." Chris said and they were still confused. "I burned at least 15 dark lighter's while stunning two Crinton's." He said and they sat stunned. "Wow." Jay said and they nodded. "Guess I shouldn't be surprised. i am charmed only a matter of time until I started to advance more. Shot Aunt Piper can freeze miles now. When it used to just be one person." Said Ray and Chris snorted. "Hate to see what you'd do if you yelled at me." Bradin said and they giggled. "Speaking of. Wyatt and Chris we need to have a council with mom and the Aunt's." Ray said and they disappeared nodded. "What was that about?' Asked Bradin and they shrugged.

They appeared and were swarmed with hugging woman. "Hey pregs here!' Ray said being squished. "Oh sorry baby." Phoebe said and Ray smiled. "So how'd the vanquish go?" Asked Piper and Wyatt smiled. "Let's just say mom I'd rather face you in battl ethan him." Wyatt said pointing at Ray who blushed. "Why?' Asked Leo walking in. "He killed 15 dark lighter's and stunned two Crinton's on his own... with one hit." Chris said and they all looked at him impressed and a bit scared. "What? They were attacking my family." Ray said and Piper smiled. "Just like Piper." Paige said and Piper giggled. "So any indiction on power's?" Asked Paige and they nodded. "Mine is a shimmerer." He said and Phoebe looked at him. "Takes after Bradin in the teleporting department. That and a strange new conjuring power i can't tell if it's mine or their's." Ray said. "Show us." Coop his dad said. He conjured a knife and threw it at the wall and it turned into three. "Nice." Paige said high fiving him. "A baby wouldn't have this type of power yet." Leo said and Ray nodded. "Then it's me." he said and sat. "But how?" Asked Phoebe confused. "Ray how did you get the mark again?" Asked Chris fingering it. "I cut mine and their finger's and had them rub the bleeding finger's in an open wound and said a spell." He said and Chris nodded. "I think Ray has absorbed Phoenix power's." Said Chris and they all looked at him. "Your hearting is even different.' Wyatt said remembering. "Yeah it was more a pink blur in battle." Chris said. "I see. I guess I did." he shrugged. "Your not worried?" Asked Penny his sister. "No. It hasn't harmed me yet. I'm just now literally a Westerly." h esaid and they nodded.

"We need a potion to make them ammune against our power's. I don't want to accidently kill Bradin or Derrick." Ray said and they nodded. "Come with me." Piper said and they walked into the kitchen. She got out the ingredients and Phoebe stuck close to Ray and hugged him and stroked his belly. (You ok mom?) He asked. (Yeah. Just I'm glad you want me in the babies life.) Phoebe said and he smiled. (You apologized and explained. i understand. The past is behind us.) he said and she nodded. "Blood." Piper said and they cut themselves and the potion burst up as their blood fel in. Wyatt healed them and Chris him then Piper filled viles for the whole Westerly family. They hugged and kissed them then orbed home.

"You ok?' Derrick asked as they appeared and Ray nodded handing them all potions. "What's this?' Asked Bradin looking at it. "Immunity to our power's." Chris smiled. "Why?' Asked Jay and Ray went over and hugged him. "because I'm afraid.' He said and they looked at him. "Why?' Asked Bradin walking up to him. "My power's are growing and I don't wanna accidently destroy you or Derrick Bradin." he said and Bradin smiled and kissed him. "Exactly why I fell in love with you." Bradin said holding him and they all took the potion. They glowed and shivered. "Wow." Ava said and they giggled.

Back at home Ray sat in the living room with Derrick and they rubbed ech other's bellies. They were alone and felt caressed one another. Derrick leane din and kissed him. They hadn't got real on eon one chance yet. "Derrick I love you and we will get through this together." Ray whispered and took off his shirt and the guy's orbed and shimmered in. Wyatt was going to join but Bradin stoppe dhim. "Not this time." Bradin said and Chris smiled. "Their bonding on a more individual basis. They've never got to be alone with their love. This has given them a big reason." Chris told Wyatt quietely and he nodded understandingly and they decided to go to the beach.

They lay nude on the couch and Ray kissed him down his body and took his cock in his mouth. It slid into his throat and Derrick watched transfixed. Ray caressed his sensitive thighs and Derrick moaned and whimpered as Ray massaged his balls. Ray kissed his sack and then went to fingering him and slowly he opened up. Derrick moaned at the invashion and relaxed his anal muscles. After three Ray took his cock and stuck it slowly in his ass making love to him. He was wrapped around Ray as Ray caressed his nipples with his tongue and Derrick moaned as Ray bottomed out of him continuosly. "So tight. I have to poud your pussy." Ray said. "Pound it." Derrick said and Ray started ramming him hard but not to hard. He hit derrick's prostate and Derrick cummed and trigure Ray's cum shot which filed his mounds. Ray pulled out and looked at him still lustfully and Derrick sat up and turned him around and positioned his cock forcing his way in. They began fucking like animal's. Derrick left bites on his back and Ray loved it. He heard the sound of Derrick's balls hitting his like music.

Ray got him on his back and started to ride him and Derrick was going bad from his rising climax as Ray held his hand with telekinesis and stroked him. "You bitch." Derrick whimpered and Ray bit his neck and they cummed. They laid panting and Ray kissed him. "Damn we need to do that more often." Derrick said and Ray agreed. They ran up and took a shower cleaning one another.

They headed back downstair's and a demon shimmered in. Derrick conjured a ball but Ray froze. There stood Pay his brother. He was older but recognizable. "Pay." he said and the man threw a fireball at Derrick and Ray woke up and threw it at him hitting him and his rage was insued. He used his telekinesis to throw him into the wall repeatedly. "No! No! No!" He yelled crying and derick watched shocked at his outburst and went to vanquish him when Ray stoppe dhim and the guy got up. "Well brother. It looks like you've grown." Pay said getting up and whipping the blood from his mouth. "Your dead.." Ray said and Payton smiled. "That what the old bat told you. No. I'm just released." He said shimmering out laughing. Ray sat on the step and cried. "Ray who was that?' Asked Derrick but Ray blacked out. "Help!" Derrick yelled and sat holding him.

Bradin and the other's stood fighting demons who then shimmered out. "That was to easy." bradin said and then felt a chill. "Home." he said and they disappeared and arrived back seeing Derrick trying to wake Ray. "Derrick what happened?" Asked Bradin running to them with the other two close behind. "A demon came. But Ray froze for a minute than after he tried to hit me with a fireball he used his power's an ddid that." derrick said and they looked at the damage to the wall. "He just kept screaming no. Then he said it couldn't be that the guy was dead." Derrick said and Ray woke up slightly and Chris sat on the other side. "It was him Chris. Pay was here. it was him. He's a demon." Ray said crying and the other's looked at Chris. Chris got up and grabbed Bradin. "You two watch Ray." He said. "Where you going?" Wyatt asked grabbing him. "To get the truth." Chris said and he orbed them to the Manor.

"AUNT PHOEBE GET YOUR ASS IN HER NOW!" Chris yelled at the top of his lungs and she ran in with Paige and the other's adults. "What?' She asked confused and Chris walked right up to her. "Payton is alive! What really happened?" Asked Chris pushing her to a chair. She looked up and the other adults nodded. "Payton was corupted by the shadow." Phoebe said and Chris looked confused. "Shadow?" Asked Bradin. "Yes. A creature made of pure darkness. Can posses the host and corrupt their very being. Pay feel to it. He was to scared to fight it and once it had him it was to powerful for us to drive from him." Phoebe cried and Chris sat down. "Thats why the demons were so easy to beat they were a distraction." Bradin said and Chris nodded. "How did you keep him away?" Asked Chris solemly. "We banished him to the astral plain. It nearly killed Phoebe to do it." Piper said crying and Chris took a glass vase and threw it at the floor. "What does he want?" Asked Bradin trying to calm Chris down. "Ray." Phoebe said. "Why?" Asked Chris. "Because their twins. He fills the need to complete himself." Said Phoebe and paige looked a bit with holding. "Aunt Paige I sense you know something more.' Chris said crying a bit. "i once found Pay and Ray kissing." She said and they all looked at her. "I didn't say anything because I didn't think it my place. They were right in here. Holding one another so lovingly." Paige said crying and sat down. "That's why Ray did it." Chris said sadly with an understanding tone.

"What?" Asked Henry holding Paige. "Seeing him triggered everything that he had managed to push below the surface. Everything he forced himself to forget. All the things that formed their bond." Chris said and they looked at Chris. "I loved him to." Chris said getting up. "Did you alter our memories to?" Chris asked his mom who only nodded her head crying. He got up and took Bradin's hand and looked at them. "Don't speak to us." Chris said and they orbed out and to the house.

Chris and Bradin arrived and saw the family there. "What happened?" Asked Ray and Chris walked up to him and feel to his knees. Ray looked at Bradin who sat by him. "Your mom and Aunts wipped out their memories to hide that Pay was taken over by the shadow." Bradin said and Ray in haled deeply and shuddered as Bradin exsplained. Ray got up and ran outside to the private part of the beach they owned. He walked out towards the water and started blasting it. They watched the waves shout up and splash him until he fell and sobbed. He reared abck his head and screamed. "Brother!" The rest watched and felt his heart ache. Chris walked out and held him and cried with him. "Maybe we should..." Nikki said and Bradin shock his head no. "Why?" Asked Wyatt. "Ray was in love with Pay as a child." Bradin said and they all bowed their heads.

A week later Ray sat out at a cafe and was drinking some coffee. The boy's stopped letting him so he found excuses to go out and sneak it. "Hello brother." Pay said sitting and Ray sat his drink downa nd looked at the young man across from him. His feature's were the same but Ray could see the mudurous glint in his eyes. "Hello Payton." Ray said and sat back. "Formal? You always called me Pay." he smiled and Ray nodded. "But your not him anymore. Your the shadow now." Ray said and Pay giggled. "OH I am just me now. I absorbed the shadow's power's long ago brother. I saw though I'm not the only one with grown power's. Nice pyrokinesis and that telekinestic slam. Perfect." He said and Ray nodded. "So why have you returned? I can assume it's not to help us keep the Underworld at bay." He said and Pay smiled. "Oh course not silly. I control the Underworld." he smiled and Ray's coffee stopped in front of his lips and he looked at pay. "Your the Source?" Asked Ray and Pay nodded. "Cool an't it?" h easked smiling and Ray sat his coffee down. "No. Cause you know what i have to do.' Ray said and Pay smiled. "Oh what vanquish me?" Asked Pay pouting. "That worked then littl ebrother. But you threw a fire ball Derrick. I can't ignore that." Ray said and pay rolle dhis eyes. "Why you with the goodie to shoes for?" h easked scutting closer to Ray close enough to whisper to him. "I remember what we did. You holding on to me as I sucked you into climax. How your body shock under my power. That's where I want you again." Pay said kissing his neck and Ray was lost and then remembered the baby. "No!" H esaid pushing him away and protecting his stomach and Pay smiled looking down. "I see someone beat me to the seeding." Pay said stroking his tummy. "What do you want Pay?' h easked almost crying. "You." Pay said and Ray got up and walked away. "i will have you Ray!" he yelled and people watched them. "Even if I have to kill them all.' He said under his breath.

Ray hearted in and leaned back into the door and slid down starting to crying. He sat there crying and tired. "Ray what happened?" Asked Bradin running up to him. "Pay. Bradin. I can't do it. I can't kill him." Ray said and bradin pulled him into his chest. He picked him up and laid him down.

He shimmered into the attic. "Oh good Bradin we figured out what to do we think." Piper said and Chris looked up at him. "What's wrong?' Asked Chris looking at him. "He can't.' bradin said and they looked at one another. "Who? What?' Asked Wyatt bottling potions. "Ray can't get rid of Payton. He's to emotionaly dead. I just found him crying in a heep in front of the door. We can't ask this of him." Bradin said and they nodded. "he also told me Pay is the source." Bradin said and they all sat down. "I guess it comes to this then." Wyatt said and they nodded. They orbed out leaving their parents.

Ray hearte din the attic and they still stat there. "They went." piper said and Ray walked to the book. He swept threw and saw on a page. "The eternal battle. One will be born pure and the other corrupted by darkness. Light will take the hand of true darkness and push the Shadow back to where it will die and wither." He read and looked at them with teary eyes. he shimmered out and Phobe went to grab him but he was gone.

He appeared and the guys hange from the roof of a cave and Pay sat in the middle of them smiling. "You came." he said and Ray nodded. "So brother." he said walking up to him and taking him in his arms. "You ready to be where you belong?' asked Pay and he smiled nodded the other's could only watch. He kissed him crying and Pay started to choke and cough looking at Ray. "What?" he asked and the rest fell to the ground and got up walking to him. Chris and Wyatt took his hands and started chanting. "I am light, I am one to strong to fight, Return to dark where shadow's dwell, You can not have this Halliwell, Go away and leave my sight, Take with you this endless light. Prudence, Penelope, Patricia, Astrid, Melinda, Helena, Alora, and Grace... Halliwell witches stand strong beside us, Vanquish this evil from time and space. Take his soul dispatch him now, Salvation take this way ward Halliwell." They chanted and Ray cried as Pay started to burn and scream. "I love you Ray. I will alway's love you." Pay said and burned. Ray feel to his knees and hands crying and sobbing. He crawled over slowly to the burn marks. He touched thema nd he had a vishion. It was Pay handing him a flower and kissing him gently on the lips. "Alway's Ray." He said and the vision ended. Ray started sobbing again.

Back at the house Ray looked himself in one of the spare bedrooms. The Westerly's and the guy's sat downstairs thinking. Chris stood as Ray came walking down. "Ray." Chris said and Ray ran to him. "I saw." he said crying and Chris stroked hi shair. "What did you see?" Susannah asked. "When we were kids. I saw him hand me a flower and he kissed me gently and said forever. I hate it. I hate him. i hate mom and dad. It's not fair. I loved him.' Ray said and Chris looked at is eyes. "No you still do. Just like me. But Ray we have love now to." Chris said and they looked at Wyatt, Derrick, and Bradin who sat quietly. "I know. I just wish he was here... to.. share it to." Ray said. Bradin sat beside him with the other two. "baby. We love him to in a way. he became part of us through you. He will always have a place with us." Bradin said smiling through tear's. Ray kissed them all and whipped his eyes. "I wanna get married now soon." he said and they all four nodded smiling.
