The underworld
"Are you sure?" the source asked or demanded
"Yes my liege I triple checked everything" the alchemist answered
"Good now explain to me how this works"
"Well my lord it seems that several millennia ago a powerful lineage of witches called the Keepers used their magic to seal the mystical energies of the darklighter lords within this small tomb" the alchemist gestured towards the ancient relic betted within the wall of the cave "by doing so they hoped to aid the forces of good to win the epic battle that has raged for eternity…"
"Get to the point, will you" the source snapped
"Yes of course, they seal itself was protected by various and powerful protective spells that to my disdain are still in function this very day and have proven most difficult to surpass or brake however their still exists hope" the alchemist confirmed as the source tapped its foot impatiently "the only known way to destroy these spells is by using the blood of a powerful witch descending from a long line of witches"
"The blood of the Keepers?" the source asked slightly intrigued
"No my liege I have already checked it seems that the last descendent perished during the crusades there are others however whose blood may also work"
"Others ?"
"Yes my lord the Warren bloodline being the most prominent one" the alchemist answered as the source smiled

A set of orbs quickly took the form of Leo Wyatt within one of the cubicles in the men's bathroom. Luckily nobody noticed with one more check in the mirror he left the bathroom and checked his watch he was only 25 minutes late. Quickly he sensed for Piper and found her sitting in the corner of the expensively decorated restaurant. She was sitting opposite of Dan and next to Dan's son Jacob a kind in his mid or late teens, Dan seemed to be focusing completely on the conversation that he was having with Piper while Jacob seemed to be dieing of boredom
"Leo!" Piper said brightly as she saw her husband approaching Dan on the other hand looked as if he had swallowed the plate in front of him, luckily for him only Jacob noticed
"Sorry I'm late I got caught up in traffic" Leo answered as he sat down next to Piper and opposite of Jacob who was obviously confused
"Traffic were have you been?" asked Dan politely
"I was picking up a fax from our hotel and gut held up since I didn't know the streets here" he lied/explained
"What fax?" Piper asked since Leo definitely wasn't a fax receiver in any state
"From Chris he sent us the baby's sonogram" Leo explained as he handed Piper the picture which she eagerly grabbed
"Who is Chris?" Jacob asked politely as Dan eyed him with suspicion
"Chris is our second son" Leo explained
"Aren't you a little young for kids?" Jacob asked completely confused by Leo's appearance since he looked as if he was twenty years younger then Piper
"Oh I age gracefully" Leo offered with a smile as the waiter approached
"No I meant…" Jacob's question was interrupted by a loud BANG as the approaching waiters trey exploded followed by a "Twins!!" from Piper, the food was sent flying upwards and then it crashed on several of the guests including Piper, Leo and Jacob

San Francisco
Phoebe was once more stuck in her office much longer then she would have expected to be in her late forties, hell she didn't even expect to have a job in her late forties. Once more she opened an e-mail witch contained someone else's problems; a woman in her late thirties was complaining that she and her husband weren't having enough sex recently it had been two weeks since their last time. Hmph… how about four months? That was the time she and Jason had been intimate the last time.
A small cloud of smoke took the form of Phoebe's departed husband Cole next to her
"Phoebe?" Cole asked, she gave no recognition "Phoebe this is really important!" Cole repeated louder this time Phoebe still continued to read her e-mail giving no sign that she had heard or seen Cole
"Phoebe listen to me!!" he half yelled, time was running out "Come on Pheebs you are one of the most powerful seers on the globe if anyone can see me then you" Cole almost pleaded as the words of the demonic seer still rang in his ears "Phoebe please I need you" he whispered
Phoebe raised her head suddenly "Hello?"
"Phoebe?" Cole asked as hope shot up his chest
Phoebe was looking around, slightly confused

The Manor, Wyatt & Ann's bedroom
Wyatt moaned in pure ecstasy as Ann kissed that spot on his neck, quickly he grabbed her and tossed her over, him now lying on top with a mere thought he orbed Ann's shirt and bra of while she wrapped her hands around him and kissed him passionately once more. Wyatt started kissing Ann's neck; Ann reached down and started unbuttoning Wyatt's pants. Quickly Wyatt was only left in his boxer shorts
The living room
"Are you sure about that?"
"Positive it isn't Wyatt's nor mine blood and Aunt Paige checked on Jamie it isn't his either" Chris explained as Bianca shifted her head on his shoulder "Anyway Paige said that she is checking on something else…" Bianca jumped suddenly followed by Chris
"What is anything…" he started "They are kicking!!" she interrupted him
"Huh?"
"The babies are kicking or one of them is anyway" Bianca explained as she guided Chris's hand to her belly
Indeed the babies/baby was kicking as Chris felt it while grinning broadly
Wyatt & Ann's room
Ann's panties were also lying somewhere on the floor her legs were wrapped around Wyatt's hips as he entered her, she shuddered, he thrust forward, like in a tango the two found a rhythm of passion, luckily the room was sound proof or otherwise the whole house would have been able to hear them moaning, Wyatt's tongue entered Ann's mouth locking the two in a passionate kiss with a final thrust the couple gasped in pleasure
The Attic
Melinda was flipping around the book of Shadows on the hoping for a sign from the family heirloom, Dave whose apartment was being gassed for termites was soundly sleeping on the couch; well he was kind of cute when he was sleeping, vulnerable…
"What are you thinking?" she scolded herself silently as the books pages started flipping opening on the page with the entry on the human side of Balthazar: Cole
Wyatt & Ann's room
Lying beneath the covers on their bed the couple snuggled
"I take it you missed me" Ann asked jokingly as Wyatt nibbled on her ear
"How did you guess?" he responded
"The last hour and a half were a give away"
Ann placed her head on Wyatt's bare chest listening to his heart beat as he wrapped his hands around her while they enjoyed the feeling of their bare skins touching each other
"Oh I almost forgot tomorrow evening we are having dinner with my parents" Ann's voice sounded as if she had just swallowed a lemon
"Yeah?How come?" Wyatt asked genuinely surprised
"Haven't got any idea" she answered
"Oh did you take the potions I made this morning?" Wyatt asked
"Yeah although I still can't tell apart the blinding and the vanquishing potions" she confessed as she buried her head deeper into his chest "Have you figured out whose blood that was?"
"No but aunt Paige is checking on a hunch"

Leo was just done with getting the salad out of his hair as Jacob joined him at the sink
"Now that's what I call a bang for dinner" Jacob commented jokingly as Leo chuckled
"Couldn't agree with you more" he added, the kid had a sense of humor "Where is your father?"
"Probably yelling at the management" Jacob replied as he let the water flow into the sink "Do you mind if I ask you a personal question?"
"No fire away" Leo couldn't help it he really liked the kid he seemed the complete opposite of Dan
"How old are you exactly?"
"I turned 50 four months ago" Leo answered with a feeling of unease in the pit of his stomach
"You did? Hell you don't look a day over thirty…" Leo stomach dropped, could Jacob see past Piper's spell or even worse was it wearing of?
"Uhm well I already told you I age gracefully" Leo replied praying that something might happen to bust him out and luckily for him Dan strolled into the bathroom with a tomato on his shoulder
XXXX
The underworld
"Are you sure?" the source asked
"Positive my son any action that might endanger the pregnancy would not be advisable within three months the twins will be born and then we will harvest their power for our cause" the seer spoke her vision being clearer then it had been it years

"I still can't believe it twins!!" Piper ranted as she and Leo entered their apartment well orbed into it more likely
"Piper…" Leo tried but as usual didn't manage to formulate a sentence without Piper interrupting him
"I mean one baby is challenging enough but two that's simply going overboard!!" Piper had effectively started to pace across the living room
"Pip…" Leo opened his mouth
"Leo first thing tomorrow morning we are orbing over there…"
"The first thing tomorrow morning we are checking on Jacob's parentage" this time Leo interrupted Piper
"Huh?" she asked looking puzzled
"He can see past your spell which means its wearing off or…"
"He is a witch" Piper completed the sentence "Are you sure I mean he could have just been polite" she was actually clinging to hope that Leo might have been wrong
"He said that I look as if I never hit my thirties"
Hope dashed
