Chapter 7: News

"Henry this was by far the worst one of your plans ever." Jake bitched at his older cousin.

"Well it's not like I had the time to come up with anything fancy I had to work with what I had here and I just didn't have enough time to plan." Henry retorted if they all hated his plans so much they should come up with plans of their own.

"Really Hank don't be redundant nobody likes that." Chris chided his cousin not that he really should have been. Because at the moment they found themselves in one of those situations where they should just be quiet.

"And nobody likes a wiseass either Peanut so shut up." Prue instructed him.

"Ladybug if that was the case you wouldn't have any friends at all." Parker pointed out to his oldest niece.

"You guys might want to shut the fuck up right about now. You pick the worst times to get into arguments. Lets discuss this later when we're not being held at gun point." Bianca said. They were all standing in the middle of Jake's boss's living room with their hands in the air.

"What I would like to know is who the hell you people all are and what the hell you're doing in my living room." A middle aged man demanded of them. He had a shotgun aimed at the thirteen.

Roman rolled his eyes he had about reached his quota of bullshit that he could stand for one day. He flung out his arm trying to throw the man into the wall using his powers but they didn't work. "Ok we're fucked my powers aren't working. Why aren't my powers working?" he said freaking out.

"Leave it to you to try to use your powers right now." Lilly said shaking her head at her brother.

"Really I'm going to agree with B I think you need to argue less and be more concerned with the fact that he is pointing a gun at us." Liz replied.

"I want some answers and I want them now." The man said swinging his gun around.

"I swear if I had answers I'd give them to you mister but I know nothing. They don't tell me anything I just do what they make me." Troy said throwing his friends under the bus.

"Maybe if you just put the gun down then we could all talk this out." Wyatt suggested.

Calleigh knowing the Roman had tried and failed to use his powers tried hers and she got the same result when she tried to use her telekinesis. "Ok my powers aren't working on him either we're seriously fucked."

"What the fuck are all you doing in my living room?" The man demanded again.

"I think that this may be an understatement but our bickering is just pissing him off more." Chuck said he really didn't want to say too much but he was finding it hard not to they were all going to get him killed one day.

"This is your last chance tell me what you're doing here or I start shooting." The man warned them.

"Chris you and Hen might want to start using some of your skills on him right about now." Wyatt said referring to the fact that they were cops. But Chris and Henry were both doubled over with laughter and then he looked over to see that the man with the gun was laughing too.

"Bret put the damn gun down before you hurt someone." Chris ordered the man and he lowered the gun.

"Well Chris I was only doing what you asked me to do." Bret said trying his best to sound innocent.

"Oh that is bullshit and you know it Bret. You like pointing that gun at people. It makes you feel powerful like you're still in the corps." Henry corrected him.

"Now listen here Hardcore I'm doing you and Deadeye a favor don't toy with me or I'll shoot you for real. God knows after how you were a pain in my ass nobody would blame me if I did." Bret replied.

"Wait a minute you three know each other?" Wyatt asked highly confused. But that was nothing new for him he was always confused about something.

"Yeah. Bret Smith this is my highly annoying brother Wyatt. Wy this is Master Sgt. Bret Smith USMC retired." Chris said making introductions.

"Alright I'm confused as hell now." Jake said raising his hand sheepishly.

"As am I Pete I thought you were too sick to work." Bret said addressing him.

Jake blushed and looked down at the floor. "Yeah about that my name isn't really Pete Valintine it's Jake Halliwell. Well actually it's Cooper Jacob Halliwell but you can just call me Jake."

"I know Deadeye and Hardcore filled me in when I talked to them earlier." Bret said like it was no big deal.

Liz fixed an accusing glare on Chris and Henry "You two had this whole thing set up didn't you?" she demanded of them. She had just spent a whole day running around for no reason.

"Yeah we knew and so did B. We knew that Bret was down here so we called him up to see if he knew a guy who was going by the last name of Valintine. Imagine our shock and surprise when he says not only does he know Pete but he works for him. So yeah we set it all up from there. We had to play this close to the vest sue us if you must." Henry replied dramatically.

"That still doesn't explain why our powers didn't work on him." Roman chimed in he was a little disappointed that he wasn't going to get to chase after a witch doctor or something like that.

"Your powers don't work against me because I'm a good witch just like you are." Bret explained as if that answer should have been evident.

"Leave it to Bubba and Peanut to find the only guy who knew where Jake was." Prue comment dryly.

Bret arched an eyebrow at that "They call you Bubba and Peanut?" he asked highly amused by the exchange.

"Yes they do but that doesn't mean you can." Chris replied.

"I would never dream of it Deadeye." Bret said in a dismissive manner.

"This is ridiculous we just wasted a whole day doing nothing when we have problems at home." Lilly bitched she was just in a foul ass mood.

"Lilly shut your mouth before I have Prue kick your ass again." Roman informed his sister.

"Stop bringing that up Chris and I are very distraught that we missed the cat fight." Henry said sticking his bottom lip out.

"I'm going to show you a cat fight when I kick your ass Hank." Prue said showing him her fist.

"I know I say this all the time but I've got my money on Prue." Troy said making his usual wager.

"So do I but only because Hank refuses to hit a girl no matter how badly I keep demanding testing to make sure that Prue is indeed a girl." Roman joked it had been a while since they had a good fight.

"Ro shut up you're only jealous because my dick is bigger than yours." Prue got him good he couldn't even reply to that.

"Ok I don't even want to know where that came from. Ro maybe it would be best if you didn't antagonize Prue right now." Calleigh suggested.

"As much as I hate to admit it she has to have a point he can't be packing much or Mel wouldn't always be so bitchy." Lilly replied.

"Hey that is my baby sister you guys are talking about I don't find it funny." Wyatt protested.

"Neither do I Wy." Chris said indignantly.

"It could have been worse they could have said something about Em and Jack dating." Chuck said thankful that they hadn't mentioned that.

"I think that maybe we should drop this subject." Parker suggested it was making him very uncomfortable.

"Parker I love it that you tried but it's no use they always carry on like this and you know it." Bianca pointed out to him.

Jake scratched behind his ear "Good luck getting my sister to shut her mouth once she gets it started."

"I for one am with Parker his subject needs to be dropped right now." Liz said putting her foot down.

"So beings that you guys are here would you be interested in partying Corps style?" Bret asked if only to get them on another topic they were making him blush and he had been a Marine.

"Sure I think we can stay for a minute they have things under control at home." Henry answered.

"Good I know how fond you are of having those little jam sessions I'll get you the guitar." Bret said taking his guitar off the stand and handing it to Henry.

Henry settled himself down on the couch and strummed a few chords on the guitar. "Do you guys have anything you want to hear?" he asked.

"No Hank go on and play whatever you want." Chris answered for everyone.

Henry thought for a second before he started playing on tune on the guitar " Usually take one last pass through town stop the car and touch the ground. Watch those streetlights swayin' in the breeze decorated store fronts rusty old gas pumps try to fill my mind up with somethin' before I go. Picture postcard memories you know they always make for good company." He started the opening lines of Turning Home by David Nail.

"Great he has a guitar we might be here the rest of the night." Wyatt said dryly.

"I don't know no town like the old town even when the miles are many I feel like I'm still around. Deep inside me like the rings through an old oak tree there somethin' bout a Sunday when I'm gone that keeps me turning home." Henry's voice was smooth and mellow the truth be told he had played for Piper at P3 quite a few times when she couldn't find a band.

Chris decided that he would pick up the next verse for his cousin. "I'm Standin' here beneath these billboard lights takes me back to those autumn nights home town bleachers packed real tight as we marched down the field. My feet would swing from a dropped tailgate out on airport road real late no one could walk a line real straight we usually made it home alright. And glory days I can't relive stories I'll never forget. And I don't know no friends like the old friends. Never seem to laugh now like I did with them. But deep inside me a piece of history yeah I hear their voices even though they're gone and it keeps me turning home." He wasn't too shabby a singer either he and Henry had a band together when they were kids.

Henry looked up from his strumming and locked eyes with Bianca and he gave her grin before he kept singing. "Never twice the same way does it start and sure enough she stole my heart on that old gym floor spinnin' round and round one night. And though we both tried hard to wait we sure did love the taste of sweet love being made prayin' I got it right. Graduation came and went along with all the time we spent. I don't know no love like the first love. When I think about the best times she's the one I think of. Deep inside me though the taste is bittersweet I see her smilin' even though she's gone and it keeps me turning home. And it keeps me turning home, yeah it keeps me turning home." They both finished in perfect harmony.

"Damn you two and all your sad songs give that damn thing to someone who is going to play something more upbeat." Prue nagged them.

Henry handed the guitar to her "Here you go Ladybug I shudder to think what you're going to play but go ahead." He said.

Bianca walked over to him and kissed him. "You know how much I love it when you sing."

"I know I was planning on getting lucky tonight so I figured I better butter you up." Henry replied making his eyebrows dance.

Chris just rolled his eyes at them but then again he was single so he pretty much hated everyone who wasn't. He just shrugged his shoulders and shook his head when he saw Prue attempting to play the guitar.


"Henry come on just concentrate I know that you can do this." Prue coached Henry.

Henry tried with all his might to move the glass on the table in front of him using his telekinesis but it was no use he couldn't get it to budge one inch. "It's no use Prue my damn powers are never going to work." He sighed.

"Yes they will you just have to give it time." Paige assured her husband laying a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"I've had this power for a month when Mel had this same damn power for a month she had it under control." Henry groaned.

"Roman taught Mel how to use that power so don't get me started on how she learned it so quickly." Piper replied she didn't want to know how he got her to learn it so fast it only made her want to puke.

"Yeah I have teleorbing so don't look for any kind of help from me. The boys and Prue all learned that power through trial and error and then they taught the twins." Paige pointed out to him.

"Henry don't listen to your wife right now I have more than enough patience to teach you how to use your powers. You may want to try channeling your powers through your eyes for right now. It might be easier for you." Prue suggested to him.

"None of the cool kids do it like that and besides I don't want to get wrinkles around my eyes." Henry retorted he was really just trying to be funny he could give two shits less how he channeled his powers as long as they worked.

"Honestly Henry you get to bitch about your powers when you have the powers that I have. They pretty much suck and are good for nothing." Eva replied to that.

"Your powers aren't good for nothing Eva they are just frustrating like mine are." Phoebe corrected her friend.

"Melinda Paige Halliwell get your ass in the kitchen for a minute I need to talk to you." Prue yelled out to her niece.

Mel came into the kitchen a moment later "Yes Aunt Prue." She said sweetly.

"I was just wondering how it is you learned how to use your telekinesis so damn fast." Prue answered her.

"I just had to figure out my trigger and once I did that the rest came naturally. For me the trigger for that power is the same as it is for molecular combustion. When I get pissed all I have to do is focus on which power I want to use and the rest is a done deal. But like when I want to freeze something that is more of a defensive power so fear is pretty much the trigger for that." Mel explained.

"Yeah I know that anger is the trigger for that power that isn't what I asked you. I asked how you learned it so fast." Prue repeated herself.

"Roman taught me and I really don't think you want to know anymore than that." Mel replied.

"Now I'm really curious." Phoebe said but it was her business to know everything about everyone else.

"Aunt Phoebe you only want to know because I said you don't want to know." Mel had a point there.

"Do you think that you'll be able to help your uncle? Because he isn't listening to me." Prue asked.

"Yes I can teach him I just can't teach him right now because I have things to worry about. Greg has another thirty minutes before I do something drastic." Mel replied.

"Yeah I'm kinda worried about him. He should have been back by now I hope nothing bad happened to him." Phoebe said worried about her son.

"Aunt Pheebs I'm sure that he is fine. Things like this just take time sometimes. The underworld is a very big place. There is nothing to worry about though he knows how to handle himself." Mel assured her.

"Yeah Pheebs Mel has a point he is fine. I would be more worried about what your oldest daughter is doing right now. Because her and those two boys together is not a good combination." Paige said trying to get her sister's thoughts to shift.

"Yeah I guess you're right I just can't help but worry because they is still something big out there waiting for them and I don't want Greg getting caught in the crossfire he has nothing to do with this." Phoebe said not knowing how wrong she was. Ben was what the thirteen needed to worry about.

"So tell me what are Leo, Coop, Cole, and Derek in there doing?" Nicole asked she knew how those four men were so she could only imagine what they were doing.

"Lets see Uncle Derek is helping Dom, Billy, and believe it or not Paige build something with legos. Huck was nice enough to invite Uncle Coop to the tea party he is having with Val, Carly, Penny, and Em. Dad is coloring with Hailey and Brady. And then Cole is playing something with Jack and Al." Mel replied.

"Do I want to know what my son is doing right now?" Eva asked her.

"He is probably somewhere trying to hide since those kids have been torturing him. Now if you were talking about my boyfriend then I have no clue where he is right now or what he is doing but shudder when I think about it." Mel replied she knew damn good and well that Eva was talking about Ricky.

"No I was talking about Ricky since I'm not talking to Ro right now. It seems that I have to make an appointment if I even want to see him anymore but I doubt you would know anything about that." Eva retorted sarcastically.

"Nope you're right Aunt Eva I don't know a damn thing about that. But for what it's worth I did tell him that he needs to see you more than he does." Mel replied a grin on her face.

"Well if he doesn't listen to me and you there is always the chance that he will listen to your mom." Eva suggested.

Piper shook her head "Hell no I'm not getting in the middle of you two and that boy. He does what I ask him to do and that is all I care about. Although it would be nice to know that I will have my head chef there any time I need him."

"So Mel I have to ask you has this little experience made you want to have kids any time soon?" Paige asked her niece in a joking tone.

Mel looked at her youngest Aunt like she was crazy. "Not only no Aunt Paige but fuck no. For starters I'm too damn young to even think about having kids. And second of all I'm a Halliwell I run the risk of any children I have acting like those monsters in there. I think that I will wait awhile on that one but thanks for asking."

"So I guess my only hope of having any grandchildren within the next ten years is Ricky." Eva mused to herself.

"Now don't get me wrong Aunt Eva I love the retard I can't help it. But he knows that two things have to happen before I will even think about marrying him. I have to finish college and he has to get rid of that damn chair." Mel explained.

"Melinda you are eighteen years old you don't know what love is yet." Piper said rolling her eyes.

Mel looked at her mother incredulously "So in this family being emotionally retarded when it comes to your feelings for someone is encouraged. Because I'm pretty sure that it took Wyatt ten years to know what everyone else knew all along."

Piper was beat and she knew it "Touché Mel. Very well played. There is no way I could deny you if I wanted to that was such a me thing to say."

Mel rubbed her temples "Mom not helping at all I realize that I am a carbon copy of you but I don't need to be reminded of that all the time."

"Right you have children to get back to so go do that I'm about ready to call one of your brothers and see what is taking them so damn long." Piper ordered her.


Huck was still dressed in his tea part outfit he was pretty much having the time of his life. Coop looked at the young man and shook his head. "Huck how did you get roped into doing this?" he asked.

"I was not roped into having a tea party thank you very much I am enjoying myself." Huck replied as if that wasn't evident from the grin on his face.

"I can see that Huck forgive me that was my mistake." Coop said shaking his head.

"See what I think is you're jealous because I look so pretty and you don't." Huck joked he was seriously enjoying himself a little too much.

"That's it right there Huck I'm jealous that I don't have a sweet hat like the one you're wearing right now." Coop agreed with him.

Derek was laying in the floor with Dom, Billy, and Paige building a bridge out of legos. "Now what we need to do is check the bridge for structural integrity." He said as he started prodding different points on the bridge.

"So it won't break if Godzilla walks on it?" Dom asked his eyes wide with wonderment.

"Exactly Dom we don't want our bridge to break if Godzilla walks on it." Derek agreed being an engineer he was getting way too into playing with the blocks.

"What about if King Kong walks on it Uncle Derek?" Billy asked a little worried about the safety of his bridge.

Derek reached over and ruffled his hair. "Don't worry buddy it will be just fine this could stand up to King Kong and Godzilla both at the same time." He assured the little boy.

"But what about a whole army of zombies?" Paige asked she was so her father's daughter Chris couldn't deny her if he wanted to.

Derek chuckled to himself a little bit. "It would survive an army of zombies too Paige." She seemed to be placated by that answer.

Leo meanwhile was sitting on the floor with Hailey and Brady coloring. He was enjoying himself too. He missed Mel being that little she was the only one of his kids who would sit still long enough to color. He was coloring a picture from Sleeping Beauty.

"What kind of picture are you coloring Uncle Leo?" Brady asked looking up from the Ninja Turtle he was coloring.

"I'm coloring this picture of a prince and a princess for your Aunt Piper." Leo replied he knew that Piper would get a kick out of it.

"It's very pretty." Hailey said looking up from her own picture.

"Thank you Hailey." Leo replied smiling at the young girl.

"You're welcome." Hailey said turning back to her picture.

Cole and Ricky were on the other side of the room playing army men with Jack and Alan. Ricky really had nothing better to do so he figured he might as well enjoy himself a little bit.

"Ricky I think that you and Jackie are cheating." Cole stated a smirk on his face.

"How are we cheating Cole?" Ricky asked him incredulously.

"Al and Me have barbed wire up and you guys are crossing into our camp like it's nothing but we can't get into yours." Cole said stubbornly.

"Me and Jackie have wire cutters to cut your barbed wire with and you'll never get into our camp because we have our tanks guarding it." Ricky replied as if it should have been obvious to Cole.

"Like I said you two are cheaters." Cole repeated himself.

"Think what you want Cole but you're only mad because Jack and I are better at this than you and Al are." Ricky maintained.

"I hate to tell you two boys this but I don't think Jack and Al care either way." Mel said coming back into the room. She pointed down at her cousin and little brother who were playing nicely together at the moment.

"The thought had crossed my mind too Mel but I'm too tired to argue with them over it right now." Patty said from her perch on the couch.

Mel looked deep in thought for a moment "Well in case anyone was wondering Greg only has a few more minutes before I call the cousins home from their little adventure."

"Mel if we go running to them now they are never going to trust us to be able to take care of demons on our own." Ricky pointed out.

"Yeah I know but I really don't feel like tracking him down myself and I would really rather not use a spell on them. So that doesn't leave us with many options. Unless of course the aunts do it and that is out of the question I don't care if they are invincible right now." Mel retorted she really wasn't in a good mood and she didn't want to deal with all of this.


"Guys I realize that this is the first chance we have had in like forever to cut loose but we really need to think about getting back." Liz said looking down at her watch she was a little worried about the younger kids.

"Lizzie is right you guys we never know what kind of trouble they decided to get into without us there to watch them." Wyatt agreed not that anyone expected him to disagree with anything Liz said.

"Bret my very whiny partners in crime happen to be right for once in their lives. We do need to get home since there is no telling what kind of a mess our younger siblings have managed to get themselves into." Chris addressed his friend.

"Say no more Deadeye you lead your troops man." Bret replied.

"You can take the boy out of the Corps but you can't take the Corps out of the boy." Henry commented dryly.

"Hardcore I thought that you would have been a grizzled old drill instructor by now." Bret said shaking his head at him.

"I would be but my mommy wouldn't let me go on active duty I was threatened with death." Henry answered him sheepishly.

Wyatt rolled his eyes "I never will understand any of you jarheads for as long as I live." That was the wrong thing to say in a room full of marines.

"Oh Wy you're in trouble now you should have just kept your mouth shut." Liz told her boyfriend.

Bret turned to Chris "What is his problem?" he asked with an arched eyebrow.

"I have one word for you Navy." Chris said simply.

"Hell no I just got called a jarhead by a sailor boy." Bret said incredulously.

"He technically wasn't a sailor boy he was a corpsman so he earned the right to use the term jarhead he is pretty much one of us. Except for the fact he says things like that just to piss me off." Henry explained.

"Right as much as I would love to stand here and listen to the epic fight that is sure to ensue we need to get back home." Calleigh reminded them.

"Right I know." Chris said and then he turned to Bret. "Thanks for all the help man I owe you one." He offered him his hand, which he took.

"No problem Deadeye I'll see you around. You too Hardcore take care of yourself." Bret said before they all orbed off to do God alone knew what.


Ben shimmered into the kitchen of the manor looking a little worse for the wear his clothing was ripped and he had spots of blood on his shirt. He was covered in dirt and grime.

"Greg sweetie what happened? Are you ok?" Phoebe asked her son concerned for his well-being.

Ben leaned against the counter as if to hold himself up. "I'll be fine mom don't worry about me so much. I just got a little roughed up by some demons that's all." He replied like it was nothing.

"It looks like you got more than a little roughed up." Prue commented dryly.

"It's nothing really Aunt Prue I just sent a bunch of demons to the waste land today. Finding a demon when you know nothing about them is pretty difficult." Ben said waving off all the concern that was being sent his way.

"Did you find out what happened to the kids?" Paige asked him a little gruffly she just didn't trust him. He reminded her too much of Cole when he had been a demon. Well he was still a demon but not in the sense that he used to be.

"Yeah long story that I don't need to get into but to change them back you need a potion I know what is in it. I just wouldn't be advisable that I make a potion I might blow the kitchen up." Ben said taking huge gulping breaths as he spoke.

"Greg do you want someone to heal you?" Phoebe asked really concerned he didn't look so good at all.

"No I'll be fine it's nothing some aspirin and some ice won't cure later." Ben retorted he really didn't like her being that worried about him. It made it harder for him to see her as a target.

Of course at about that time the thirteen had to orb into the kitchen as well. Jake shot a look of complete and utter disdain in his twin brother's direction. He just had to be there he couldn't stand him and it was likely that he would always feel that way.

"I'm glad to see that all you guys are back in one piece. How did your demon hunt go?" Piper asked them sweetly her hormones were out of control so she was being super nice at the moment.

"I don't want to talk about it." Jake said crossing his arms over his chest.

"Oh come on Cookie Dough it was for your own good and it served you right after you ran off and made us worry like that over you." Chris said pinching his younger cousin's cheeks while making cooing noises at him.

"If you people ever answered a question directly when we asked you I think I would faint." Nicole said shaking her head at them.

"Fine mother there was no demon this whole thing was a set up by the dude twitches they knew the boat captain he was a marine too." Liz answered her mom.

"Right now I don't know whether to thank that two of you or be pissed. But since you got me my baby back in one piece I'll just say thank you." Phoebe addressed her two nephews.

"It was nothing Aunt Pheebs. It's what Chris and I do we come up with schemes sometimes they work sometimes they don't. We got lucky this time." Henry replied shrugging his massive shoulders.

"So how are the little ones?" Wyatt asked he was worried about his little cousins.

"They are fine they are a bunch of holy terrors but they are fine. Greg found a way to turn them back. So someone needs to make the potion and they will be good as new." Prue answered her nephew.

"Mom I think you should leave Val this age and start over again." Prue joked.

"No thank you Prue I rather not. Val and her teenage rebellion is something I can barely stand to live through once much less twice. Besides that I'm almost done with her she is graduating in a few weeks." Phoebe informed her oldest like she was crazy for suggesting such a thing.

"Will one of you please make the potion?" Henry Sr. begged.

"I'll make the damn thing you can help Uncle Hen." Roman offered.

"Ok cool I guess." Big Henry replied shrugging his shoulders.

"Chris go see your daughter before you do anything else please she has missed you all day." Piper ordered her son.

"Fine I guess I could do that." Chris said like it was going to be an inconvenience to him.

Piper gave him a stern look "I don't care that she can be a pain in the ass sometimes she is still your daughter and more importantly my granddaughter don't act like it's an inconvenience on your time to go see her for five minutes." She lectured him.

Chris shook his head but he couldn't keep the grin off his face. "Mom I was joking I love her as much as she loves me. I'm just going to go see her now."

"You better go mister." Piper said had she been standing she would have put her hands on her hips.

"So Greg what is in this potion?" Roman asked eyeing him warily. He wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed but he was still suspicious of Ben.

Ben produced a list from his pants' pocket and he handed it to Roman. "It's all on the list. I would help but I'm not very good with potions." He replied.

"You're in luck then because I'm a whiz when it comes to potions." Roman said getting a little cocky.

"Boy you better watch yourself before someone comes in here and knocks you down a peg or two." Eva warned her son.

"Yeah right that's not gonna happen mom there is no one who can touch me in the potions department. I dare anyone to say otherwise." Roman retorted giving her a smirk.

"Well I'm glad you think so because from now on I'm going to be coming to you for all my potions needs." Mel said walking into the room. She had figured that if Chris was back then that retard she called her boyfriend was back too.

"Now Mellie you know that I wasn't talking about you I was just talking in general. You know that I have been accused of liking the sound of my own voice." Roman tried to cover quickly.

"Finally he admits to what I have been telling him for years I feel very vindicated." Prue said triumphantly.

"Ladybug shut up." Jake said he hadn't been around his sister a whole day and she was already getting on his nerves.

"Jakie if you don't want to listen to me then you can go in the room with the little kids where you belong." Prue zinged him she was really on her game.

"If I'm a two year old then so are you because we are only a week apart in age. Hell I'm technically older than you." Jake pointed out to her.

"Yeah but I'm not the one who acts like a toddler." Prue countered his accusations.

Troy rubbed his hands together and smirked he had been waiting a month to say what he was about to say. "Knock it off you two really love each other and you know it. Just last month Coop used himself as demon bait so he could find out what happened to you Prue."

Phoebe would normally have agreed with Troy but she hadn't heard those two go a round in a month. "Troy just stop and let them do what they're going to do. Right about now it seems pretty damn good to me I haven't heard this in a month." She smiled to herself. She had missed having all her babies with her.


Paige ran and jumped into Chris's arms as soon as he walked into the living room. "Well hello baby girl. I take it you missed your daddy." He said kissing her on the head.

Paige nodded her little head up and down. "Yeah I missed you bunches daddy." She replied.

"So I take it you vanquished your demon." Patty stated but it was more a question and Chris knew it.

"Well you see Charlie there wasn't really a demon we just had to get Coop to trust that we still love him no matter what he is or what he does. It turns out me and Bubba knew his boss from the Corps." Chris explained.

"That was pretty good thinking there Chris I know firsthand how my son can be." Coop said looking up from the tea party he was having.

Chris doubled over with laughter when he caught sight of Huck "Cal get in the living like right now you're gonna want to see this." He got out between bursts of laughter.

Calleigh came into the room a moment later "What?" she asked she had, had enough of Chris and Henry for one day. Chris just pointed at Huck he was laughing too hard to speak.

"Noah Puck what the hell are you doing? And more importantly what the hell are you wearing?" Calleigh asked him she knew that she might have given him brain damage from dressing him up when he was little.

Huck really didn't care what his sister said "Cal I'm telling you that you and everyone else is just jealous because I look so damn pretty." He maintained.

"Yeah you look like a pretty fairy Puck I swear I don't know what I'm going to do with you sometimes. You're not high are you?" Calleigh asked with him she could never be sure.

"No Calleigh I'm not high. And I want you to note the sweet ass fort that is in the room. I built that all by myself." Huck said he was very proud of his handy work.

"Dude it looks like you got into a fight with a clown and lost." Chris said finally able to speak.

"Hey you know not to mention the c word with Parks in the house he will flip out." Calleigh reminded Chris.

"I know I didn't forget but Cal he is in the other room I doubt he heard that." Chris said arching an eyebrow.

"Yeah daddy Uncle Parker is scared of clowns we're not supposed to talk about them." Paige pointed out to her dad.

Calleigh walked over to Chris and took Paige from him. "That's right Paige we don't talk about them because your Uncle Parker doesn't like them."

"Is Greg back yet by any chance?" Ricky asked hopefully he still had to get back to fixing his truck.

"Yes Roman is back in the kitchen making the potion to change them all back." Chris replied.

"Chris if you don't mind I think that Paige and I are going to go check and see if they are making any progress." Calleigh said.

"Hell I don't mind Cal I'm more worried about her acting up then you doing anything to hurt her." Chris said truthfully he knew that his daughter was a handful she reminded him of his mother and Bianca for some odd reason.


Mel took a deep breath when she heard a knock on her bedroom door she and Patty were sitting on her bed she knew who it was. "Come in." she yelled out.

"Hey Aunt Mel you wanted to see me?" Paige asked they had finally managed to turn everyone back to their right age.

"Yeah me and your Aunt Charlie need to talk to you about something." Mel replied.

"Well Aunt Mel to the best of my knowledge I haven't done anything wrong lately so I can't imagine what it is you want to talk to me about." Paige said innocently.

Patty rolled her dark brown eyes that girl was anything but innocent. "I'm not going to beat around the bush Paige. Is B your mother?" she asked her niece point blank.

Paige took a deep breath and then she sighed "Yes she is my mother. How did you know?" she thought she had been pretty good about keeping that a secret.

"When you were little you told me that." Mel answered her.

"Paige how did that happen?" Patty asked she was very curious about that.

"You know how demons are they wanted to break up the power of three so they did mind control on her and dad and then they brainwashed them so they wouldn't remember sleeping together. Well some how dad remembered and then he told her. They weren't going to tell Uncle Hank because they didn't want to hurt him he has been through more than enough. But she got pregnant with me and Vic so they had to tell him. I'm my dad's and Vic really is Uncle Hank's." Paige explained it was very complicated but that was the story of her life.

"Don't you think maybe you should tell your mom and dad sweetie?" Mel asked her gently.

"I would but I honestly don't know what to say to them. I really have only known about all this a couple of years myself." Paige replied.

"Just tell them the truth they won't be mad I promise. This isn't your fault you didn't do anything wrong." Patty explained to her.

"Aunt Charlie I'm just really mad at both of them still and I don't want to hurt Uncle Hank. And for the life of me I can't help but feel that my mother didn't want me because there is no other reason she would have gone eighteen years without saying anything to me." Paige said on the verge of tears that she willed not to fall she couldn't afford to be weak.

"Honey I'm sure that is not true your mom and dad were just trying to do what was best for you to give you a sense of normal." Mel assured her.

"Can we let this drop if I promise that I'll talk to them?" Paige asked hopefully.

"Yeah I can live with that. But if you don't in the time I think you should I will tell them myself." Mel warned her.

"Ok Aunt Mel I can live with that it's a deal." Paige said and she couldn't help but feeling nervous about the whole thing.


Derek and Eva had all their children gathered around her kitchen table they figured that it was time to bite the bullet and tell them what was going on. Sure it had been a feat to get them all together but they had managed it.

"Ok so you two managed to get us all here now what do you have to tell us?" Lilly demanded she still wasn't in the best of moods.

"Derek and I have something to tell you and there is no easy way to say this so we are just going to come out and say it." Eva said evenly.

"Alright then tell us mom." Emily said she wasn't the most patient person in the world.

"Well a month or so ago your mom and I got married." Derek said not daring to make eye contact with any of the five kids he had raised.

Ricky just shrugged he was the most easy going of the bunch "Well it's about damn time you two." He said.

"No shit I was wondering how long it was going to take you to come to your senses I thought I was going to have to sick Prue on your asses." Chuck said shaking his head.

"That's not all as it turns out I'm pregnant." Eva said.

"Wow mom that is pretty great." Roman said a smile on his face.

"You guys aren't mad that we didn't tell you?" Derek asked to make sure that he was hearing them right.

"No we're not mad." Emily assured them.

"So what are going to do about the house dad?" Ricky asked.

" I can't believe I'm going to say this but your mom and I talked about it. You're old enough to stay there if you want to but it is up to you." Derek said.

"Hell yeah I want to stay there. I have to orb with Charlie to the manor every morning as it stands now all I have to do is roll out of bed and cross the street. I would have to get up earlier and I can't have that." Ricky said reasonably.

"What about me?" Emily asked.

"You can stay too I'm sure your brother doesn't want to be alone but I better not hear of you having Jack down there alone." Eva warned her daughter.

"Ricky that doesn't apply to you and Charlie you two have enough sense to know what to do." Derek added.

Chuck was hit by one hell of an idea at that moment "Hey Ro we haven't ate today have we?" he asked.

Roman shook his head "No we haven't ate today and I'm sure you want me to fix that."

"Well I was thinking that it's not really that late and Prue and I need to have a little talk with everyone. So I was wondering if you would cook." Chuck replied.

"It's what I do of course I'll cook. I'll get Mel to help me. Shimmer me to the manor and we'll take care of business." Roman said like it was no big deal.

"Lets go then." Chuck said grabbing his hand and shimmering them out.

"Something tells me that my brother just had another of his hair brained ideas." Emily said rolling her eyes.

"It's no worse than anything my twin could have come up with." Lilly said she too rolled her eyes.


"Not that I mind you guys using my kitchen because it means I didn't have to do anything. But would you mind telling us what this is all about?" Piper asked. Somehow Chuck and Prue had rounded everyone up on short notice.

Prue and Chuck both stood up. "Well we have something that we need to talk to you guys about." Chuck said he wasn't a man of very many words sometimes.

"Chuck and I are engaged we have been for a while now but with everything that has been going on lately we haven't got the chance to tell you." Prue explained sheepishly. She flashed her engagement ring.

"You guys that is so great. I can so help you know how good I am with weddings. " Phoebe said hugging the both of them.

"I will now be sleeping on the couch in the pent house until further notice." Val said she knew how her mother got where weddings were concerned and she wanted no part of it.

"Ignore your sister Ladybug I for one think it is great you couldn't have found a better guy if you tried." Coop said hugging his daughter and then he turned to Chuck and offered him his hand. "You take good care of my little girl if not they will never find your body."

"Uncle Coop trust me it's either I do as she says or she knows how to make my life hell." Chuck said tempering his sarcasm with a smile.

"Why do I think there are certain young adults in this room who knew about this?" Piper asked when she saw the looks on the older kids' faces.

"Because we had to play hide the engagement ring since Ladybug is a busybody. She would have found out so we had to set her up." Chris answered as if it should have been obvious.

"She almost busted us a couple of times as it was." Henry Jr. chimed in.

Derek went over and hugged both of them "I have but one favor to ask you two and that is you name your first born child after me."

"Dad I'm pretty sure you've met him his name is Cal. Your middle name is Caleb enough said." Chuck said rolling his eyes at his father.

"Somehow I always knew that Prue would beat the rest of us to the alter." Wyatt mused.

"Right because we all know that my marriage doesn't count. The pool started after that which reminds me some of you have to pay into that this month." Henry said eyeing Wyatt and Troy.

"It doesn't matter we all know that money is mine anyway." Troy said he had no plans for getting married any time soon.

"Wy you seriously need to get the Halliwell brothers into the running for the other pool." Chris said he had no intentions of getting married in the foreseeable future either.

"Is there nothing you people won't bet on?" Calleigh asked.

"No if there is we haven't found it yet." Chuck replied shrugging.

Eva next went up to them and hugged them. "You two are good for each other just keep that in mind."

"This means I am throwing one hell of an engagement party for you two." Piper said smiling at them.

"And this is why when I get married I'm going to Mexico and not telling a living soul." Penny said her family went to the extreme when it came to weddings.

"Please Penny you're half cupid don't talk such nonsense." Val joked with her little sister.

"Val you won't be able to get married without adding the phrase and the baby came early." Mel pointed out to her.

"Shut up Mel you're not funny." Val pouted.

"Chuck I'll tell you right now what I'm getting you for your wedding present therapy sessions. Anyone who will willingly marry a Halliwell woman needs their head checked." Henry Jr. joked.

"Those of us who are dating a woman who can kill you in your sleep have no room to talk." Chuck replied good naturedly.

"I will have you know that it is no fun if they don't put up a fight first." Bianca said trying to keep a straight face.

"Oh be still my heart I had no idea that B was actually capable of being funny." Carly said putting her hand over her heart.

"Believe it or not she does joke now. I can't believe it either." Liz said.

"Lizzie I love you but shut up." Bianca said giving her the finger.

"Does this mean that we are finally going to get to see our cat fight?" Chris asked hopefully.

"Dude if you would shut up I know a bar where they have mud wrestling that is so much better than a cat fight." Parker said and he lowered his head when he saw the look he got from Calleigh.

"I don't want to know where you spend your time Parker you really need to think about getting a girlfriend." Paige teased her little brother.

"Well I will have you know I already have one thank you very much Paige. Isn't that right Cal?" Parker defended himself.

"I won't be for much longer if you keep talking about mud wrestling." Calleigh informed him.

"Ok I know you two didn't get the memo but it goes like this Prue must be kept in the loop about these things at all times." Prue said miffed that someone had kept something from her.

"No I got the memo and then I trashed it." Parker replied.

"That hurt bad Parks I just want to thank you for that." Prue said in mock indignation.

All throughout dinner Jake and Lilly had both been uncharacteristically quiet only talking when asked a question directly. Finally Jake rose and stretched out his muscles. "I think I'm gonna go find Brady and see if he will help me move my stuff back." He said.

"Honey you don't have to go tonight that can wait." Phoebe said she had just got him back home she didn't want him to leave again so soon.

"C.J. I would be more than happy to help." Ben offered knowing it was the last thing he wanted to do.

"No I'll be fine if I can't find Brady I'll let it be until morning." Jake replied he wanted nothing to do with Ben he just didn't like him at all.

"Anybody up for hitting P3 with me?" Henry asked he had nothing better to do.

"Babe I would love to but I have to go see my sister." Bianca said pecking his cheek as he rose to leave.

"You gonna come by later?" Henry asked her hopefully.

"Yeah I might be late so don't wait up." Bianca said shimmering out.

Lilly didn't know what had come over her but she couldn't stop the words that came out of her mouth. "Jake if you don't mind I'll help you move your stuff back." She offered.

Jake looked at her surprise written all over his face. "Yeah sure if you want to that would be great."

"Yeah I want to we need to talk." Lilly replied.

"Ok you want to go now?" Jake asked.

"Sure we can go now." Lilly said taking his arm when he offered it to her.

Prue smiled to herself "There may be hope for those two yet."


Bianca raised her hand and knocked on her sister's front door. A moment later Tyler walked opened the door.

"Holy shit B you do exist." Tyler said by way of greeting.

"Tyler shut up I don't think you're funny. Is Maria home?" Bianca asked.

"Yeah she is in the living room with Chase." Tyler said opening the door wider so she could come in.

Maria and Tyler were both sitting on the couch looking at pictures from when they were younger. "Tyler who was at the door babe?" she asked when she heard footsteps coming back into the room.

"I was at the door and I brought beer." Bianca said holding up a case of beer.

"B I could kiss you for this you seriously knew I was going to be here so you brought beer." Chase said taking the beer off of her.

"Chase the last time I checked you're not old enough to drink." Bianca told her little brother.

"And the last time I checked that never stopped you." Chase countered he had her there.

Bianca took a seat on the couch between her brother and sister "So what are you two up to?"

"We are looking at old pictures from when we were younger." Maria answered her little sister.

"Oh had I known that I would have went and got drunk with Hank." Bianca replied she didn't know if she was ready for this.

Chase looked up at his middle sister. "B the only thing worse than losing O was the fact that I had to loose you too. I don't like it and I don't blame you. Believe it or not I miss you all the time. I need you to keep me in line."

"Chase you can't sit there and honestly say that mom and dad don't blame me though. I've seen the way they look at me. Oriana was their baby girl and you are the only boy you two were special. And I might not have been the one who killed her but some of the blame is mine I should never have taken her with me." Bianca said much the same thing to him as she had to Maria earlier.

"B if it hadn't of been that it would have been something else. It was her time to go you can't beat yourself up for the rest of your life. Hank doesn't blame you either I don't think he would be dating you if he did. It sucks that it happened but it did and you have to find a way to get over it and move on she would want that." Tyler said trying to get her to see some reason.

"If I blame myself then I have someone to blame if not I don't know who the blame is on we never found out." Bianca reasoned.

"Ok here is the deal I'm going to talk to Uncle Mickey and find out who gave him that job. Then we will put the matter to rest once and for all you can't keep going on like this and I can't stand to see it anymore. I can see in your eyes how much pain you're in." Maria said putting her arm around her baby sister.

"Then I will help you kill that bastard slowly. Because like I said I lost two sisters that night sometimes I think that when we buried O we buried you with her. You hardly even smile anymore." Chase said he was really worried about his sister.

"But what about mom and dad?" Bianca asked.

"I will talk to them too. But they don't blame you either they are worried as hell about you just like the rest of us are." Maria assured her.

" I love you guys." Bianca said close to tears she hardly ever cried.

"We love you too B." Chase said slipping an arm around his middle sister. Tyler somehow got his arm around her too.

"Hey B I know I give you shit but I love you too." Tyler said.

"I love you too Ty." Bianca said smiling up at him.


Lilly and Jake were sitting at the table in his houseboat just starring at each other. Neither of them knew what to say to each other. Jake would look down at the table every now and then when things started to feel too intense for him.

"So what did you want to talk about?" Jake finally asked.

"I wanted to talk about us." Lilly said her voice barely above a whisper.

"What about us? I think you made it pretty clear that you don't want anything to do with me." Jake responded.

"Jake I love you and I will always love you. I have been with you my whole adult life." Lilly said for starters.

"But you just can't be with me I know." Jake said she had already told him this.

Lilly shook her head "That's not what I was going to say Jake. I was going to tell you that if I didn't love you I wouldn't hurt so bad right now. You ripped my heart out because you didn't trust me enough to tell me that your powers were advancing. And I just needed you to know that I didn't break up with you because there is an off chance that you might be evil in the future."

"You ripped my heart out because you don't want to stick this out with me." Jake said tears welling in his blue eyes.

"Jake it isn't that I don't want to stick this out with you. I just need time to figure out things. I don't want to marry you knowing that you're going to keep things from me." Lilly reasoned with him.

"Lilly I didn't tell you because I wasn't sure what was going on myself. And I was afraid of how you would react. You killed me a little inside when you broke up with me because you promised me the night I proposed to you that you would love me no matter what I became." Jake replied he felt better getting that off his chest.

" I know what I said you just ran before I got a chance to explain to you what the hell was going on." Lilly reminded him.

"Lilly without you there was no reason for me to stay. I thought that I was putting my sisters in danger. I can't have that. I still don't completely trust myself not to do anything to hurt them. But I can't hurt my mom and dad anymore by staying gone." Jake was pouring his heart out.

"Jake if you don't trust yourself then trust me you're a good man you always have been. I know that you wouldn't hurt your sisters for anything in this world. And you will not be evil in the future. I know that with the way I ended things it might not mean much coming from me but it is true." Lilly said reaching across the table to place her hand on top of his.

"I just don't know sometimes I try my best to be good and I know deep down that I would never do those things. But I can't help but wonder what if." Jake said sighing.

"Jake we won't let that happen and by we I mean all of us. You just have to trust that we will all love you no matter what."

"Even you?" Jake asked hopefully.

"That goes double for me you have never been anything but good to me." Lilly said giving him a small smile.

"So where does that leave us?" Jake asked he wanted more than anything to take her in his arms and hold her forever.

"I think that we both need a break. I know this is hard for you to hear but I'm going to see other people and I think you should too. I'm not making any promises but one day soon I may wake up and realize just how much I need you." Lilly replied.

"Don't do that to yourself Lilly find someone else I get it I wouldn't want to be with me either knowing that I'm going to turn evil." Jake said while he felt his heart shatter into a million tiny pieces.

"Jake I don't know if I want anyone else. Like I said I have been with you since I was in high school I haven't had any other man in almost six years I need a change. And I need time to decide what I want. I'm sorry for doing this to you now but I can't help it I have to take care of me. I can't do that and be with you." Lilly said her heart was breaking too.

"Lilly you know that you can't stop me from loving you. I will give you all the time you want. But I'll wait for you with the hope in my heart that you will come back to me. Because whether you know it right now or not I'm the guy for you Lilly." Jake said a few tears making their way down his face.

" I know Jake this is just so hard for me because I love you so much. It just hurts knowing that you don't trust me enough to tell me when something is going on with you." Lilly was crying now too.

"So I guess this is it. You can go now you don't have to help me move back I'll do it on my own." He said trying to make his voice sound stronger than was the case.

"No I don't want it to end tonight. I want to have tonight to hold onto. I can't believe I'm saying this but Jake I want you to make love to me like it's never going to happen again." Lilly said getting up to sit in his lap.

Jake blinked back a fresh wave of tears "Ok I can do that. I just hope that this isn't the last time."

"All I can tell is we'll see about that after tomorrow and then we'll just have to take it one day at a time." Lilly replied. This was the hardest thing she had ever had to do.


"Babe are you ok? You seem kind of distant tonight." Roman asked Mel as they laid on his couch watching TV.

"I'm fine babe really I'm just really stressed out after everything that happened today." Mel answered him knew that she was lying to him.

"Hey don't sweat it I'm a little frazzled too." Roman said leaning down to kiss her.

"Ro if I tell you something will you promise not to get mad at me?" Mel asked him.

"I won't get mad there is nothing you could do to make me mad." He assured her.

"I know that I said I didn't want to go to prom but Val talked me into it she is going with Billy. And well I'm kinda sorta going with Huck but we're only going as friends." Mel explained to him.

"Baby you are a senior in high school it would be stupid of you not to go. I don't care if you go with Huck I know that you would never cheat on me. I want you to go and I want you to have a good time I guess I can live without seeing you for one night it won't kill me." Roman assured her.

Mel felt that pang of guilt pop up again. She really wanted to tell him what had happened with D.J. she just didn't want to hurt him and she knew that is the one thing that would hurt him the most. "I really love you so much babe." She said kissing him.

"I love you too Mel. You don't have to ask my permission to do things I trust you and I trust Huck I think he has a thing for Val anyway." Roman replied.

Mel chuckled at that if Roman only knew what was going on with that girl. "Yeah he probably does I haven't met a guy in that school yet that doesn't have a thing for either Carly or Val. Me I prefer older men they are so much more mature."

"We have good jobs and our own apartments too." Roman laughed.

"Yeah mom does pay pretty good and I've gotta say I do like spending time here with you." Mel replied making her eyebrows dance.

"Mellie just promise me that if anything is ever really bothering you that you'll talk to me." Roman pleaded with her.

"I will Ro and I have something to tell you. I got accepted to the University of Florida to play softball but I don't think I'm going to go. There is just too much going on here and I really don't want to leave you." Mel said biting the bullet.

Roman looked at her his blue eyes gazing into her soul "Mel you do what is right for you and don't worry about me."

"I know and I will. I'm just confused now I thought I knew what I wanted now after this I'm not so sure." Mel told him.

"You are going to be the valedictorian you can go wherever you want to. It will all work itself out I promise and I will support you no matter what you do." Roman said he was feeling guilty that she didn't want to go because of him.

"I will lets not talk about this now though this is the first chance we have got to be alone in two days. I don't feel like being serious right now." Mel said and then her damn phone rang. She looked down and saw that she had a text from Patty telling her to get to the manor.

"Let me guess you have to go." Roman guessed.

"Yeah but I will see you tomorrow." Mel said kissing him before she threw a teleporting potion at her feet.


Piper had Ricky, Huck, Mel, and Patty gathered in the living room of the manor. "Alright I know that you guys are all wondering what I asked you to come here for. But you did a really good job today and I seem to recall that I promised you a surprise."

"Sweet I almost forgot about that." Ricky said he was really excited.

"So I left your fort up and I baked you cookies." Piper said.

"That is totally cool Aunt Piper." Patty said she was just as exited as Ricky was.

"That is not all though. So I couldn't decided between nerf guns and light sabers so I got you guys both." Piper said pointing to the items on the couch.

"Mom this is by far the coolest thing you have ever done." Mel said she was so excited she could barely contain herself.

"Seriously Aunt Piper you are the greatest." Huck chimed in.

"Oh please that isn't all. Guys come in here." Piper called out and Chris and Henry came running into the living room. They were still dressed in their fatigues and they had nerf guns in their hands. "These two know how to have a good time so I got them to stick around. Be as loud as you want to tonight I might have taken a page out of Paige's playbook and used a little personal gain. I'm going to bed now have fun."

"No worries Aunt Piper we will. This is going to be sweet ass nerf gun war central tonight." Hank said he was very easily amused.

"Yeah mom they have no choice but to have fun." Chris agreed with his cousin.

"Boys just don't break anything I know how you two can get." Piper said heading off to bed.

"Alright boys and girls we are breaking into teams. It will be me, Hank, and Huck. Against Mel, Charlie, and Ricky. The only rule is there are no rules now grab your weapons and lets lock and load." Chris announced happily he felt just like a little kid again.

"You three are so going down. You can use the kitchen as your base we call in here." Mel said beating her brother to the punch. This was much better than spending time with Roman she did that all the time.

What ensued was the most epic nerf gun battle ever with no clear cut winner since they passed out in the fort before the ever finished their war. Bianca just shook her head at her boyfriend before she laid down beside him. She had to shimmer all over creation just to find him.


Ben was sitting in the living room of the home that had been his Uncle Greg's he had left everything to him. He missed him so much sometimes he was the only dad he had ever known and he just felt so alone now. But now was not the time for him to dwell on that he had other things to worry about.

"My liege I just wanted to tell you what an exellent job you did today." A voice in the shadows said it was dark, smoky and male.

Ben smirked smugly "It was like taking candy from babies they never even suspected that I was the one behind it all. I don't know where you and your partner in crime got that spell but it worked like a charm." He said to the voice.

"Glamouring the cuts and bruises was a very nice touch too." The voice replied.

"I know I do what I can. Tell me how are things for the coronation coming?" Ben inquired.

"They are coming along right as they should be." The voice answered him.

"That will be all for now then." Ben said he had plans to get to and he had to get ready to take the throne of the source.

"Yes my liege." The voice replied there was something familiar about it.

"Now to think up ways to bring the Halliwells down." Ben said to himself rubbing his hands together.
