Rick's POV
I woke up the next morning, not being able to wait to tell Kate about what Dev did.
Before I 'healed' Kate, I told Devin to go.
Nobody paid attention to that comment, but I had given him a potion and a spell that would bring Lanie, Javi and Kevin back.
I smiled widely at the thought of surprising Kate like that.
She started stirring in my arms and slowly opened her eyes.
"G'Morning," she said sleepily with a small smile.
"Morning," I replied.
I kissed her forehead and started getting up.
I quickly got dressed and headed downstairs with Kate to eat breakfast.
"I'm taking you somewhere today, okay?" I questioned as we were walking down the stairs.
"Where to?" she asked.
"You'll see," I answered kissing her.
"You know I don't like surprises," she said.
"But you'll like this one," I said, smirking.
"Fine," she said.
We got to the kitchen and Piper had made the biggest breakfast we'd ever seen, celebrating the fact that Balthazor was finally dead.
"Good morning guys!" Piper said cheerily.
"Morning," me and Kate said in unison.
"What do you want? We've got everything," Prue asked, stepping into the room.
"I'll take two pancakes, a couple sausages, some toast and an egg," I said.
"I'll take the same minus the egg," Kate said.
"Okay, coming right up," Piper said.
We poured ourselves some coffee and grabbed our plates before heading to the dining room.
Everyone was sitting there talking and laughing, like there wasn't a worry in the world.
Like we were a normal family.
We sat down and ate, then headed to get ready.
"Dev, bring 'em home," I said.
"Wait, what?" Kate asked.
"Nothing," I replied.
We were soon ready and left.
"Okay. Kate, close your eyes, and I'll shimmer you," I said.
"Rick-" she started.
"No, you're closing your eyes, or you don't get to see this awesome surprise," I cut in.
"Fine," she grumbled.
She closed her eyes and I held her hand.
We arrived at my loft and I whistled, signaling Devin to bring them in.
"Now, the only people who know about this are the people we know that know about magic, okay Kate? So no one else knows," I said.
"Yeah, okay," she replied.
"Okay then, you can open your eyes," I said smiling like a kid in a candy show.
She slowly opened her eyes and her mouth dropped open.
"Oh my god… Guys?" she asked the people.
"Yeah, it's us," Javi replied.
"Oh my god," she slowly walked over to them and hugged them, crying tears of joy.
"But… But… How?" Kate asked, clearly surprised.
"You have writer-boy to thank," Lanie said.
"Writer-man, Lanie, writer-man," Kate corrected, smiling.
"Right, writer-man, we should make a note of that," Kevin said.
"Rick, how?" Kate asked me.
"You'll find out one day, but for now, let's celebrate," I suggested, "The Old Haunt good for you guys?"
"Yeah!" they replied excitedly.
We headed to the famous bar amongst our group of friends and talked and laughed for a great deal of time.
I looked over at the bar, to ask the waiter to bring us more drinks, when I noticed someone entering the bar.
But he hadn't entered normally, he just walked through the door.
The man looked up and came closer.
He put his finger to his lips.
"Wait until you get back to San Francisco, something is coming," he said and disappeared.
I couldn't believe who I had just seen, Captain Roy Montgomery.
…
Later, when we arrived back in San Francisco, I yelled to the ceiling.
"You better get you butt over here and tell me what's coming!"
"Rick, who are you talking to?" Kate asked.
"Someone," I replied.
"I'm serious!" I yelled.
The rest of Kate's family came in and looked at me like I was crazy.
"Who is he talking to?" I could hear Phoebe ask Kate.
"I don't know, he just said someone," she replied.
"Seroiulsy?! You can't do that! Tell me something is coming and then leave me hanging!" I yelled again.
No response.
I turned to Kate's sisters.
"How do I summon a ghost?" I asked.
…
The girls quickly did the spell and we summoned Montgomery.
We could hear a scream erupt and a ghost fade and reappeared.
I used my demonic powers to my advantage and grabbed his leg and pulled.
"No getting away without explaining. As far as I know we're in San Francisco now," I whispered in his ear.
"Basement, only you," he said before disappearing.
"I'll be back," I said between gritted teeth.
I headed downstairs.
"You have to know, only you can stop this evil," Montgomery said once I got to the basement.
"But they still have to know. I if need any sort of back-up, they can help. They are the Charmed Ones," I replied.
"Wait, they are the Charmed Ones? Aren't there only supposed to be three? Why are they five?" he asked.
"There are five because their mother slept with her whitelighter and had Kate and her twin, that's why. They can help Roy," I replied.
"Fine, let's go back to the attic, but first I need you help getting a body," he said.
"Okay, I'll be back,"
"Oh, and Rick?"
"Yeah?"
"Kate gets to see me first,"
"Of course,"
I headed back to the attic.
"I need the ingredients to summon a body for a ghost," I said.
"Why?" Paige asked.
"This ghost, he needs a body to help us. Well, me technically, but whatever,"
"How do we know this isn't a bad ghost?"
"Trust me, he's not,"
"Fine, here,"
Paige handed me the ingredients.
"Thanks. After the ghost had its body, it wants to see Kate first, okay?" I said.
"Yeah,"
I went back to the basement and summoned a body for Montgomery.
He needed a moment to adjust, but was soon ready to see Kate.
"You good?" I asked, he seemed a bit nervous.
"Yeah. Maybe just nervous on what she's going to think," he replied.
I stopped and looked at him.
"Roy, she almost went back into the hangar, and when she heard the gunshot… She was crying in your chest for a long time until the cops came, and she almost shot them for moving you," I said, "She'll be thrilled,"
"Okay, that's good," he said, "Let's go then,"
Once we made it in front of my bedroom door, I told him to wait in there while I got Kate.
I went up to the attic and looked at Kate.
"C'mon, he's ready," I said.
"He?" she asked.
"Yes, he," I replied.
I led her to our bedroom and stopped in front of the door.
"Okay, you can freak out, but not too much, okay?" I said.
"Yep, sounds reasonable," she replied.
I opened the door and her mouth dropped open.
"I take it back. That's not reasonable," she whispered.
"Kate," Montgomery said.
She ran over and hugged him.
"Sir, what are you doing back here?" Kate asked him.
"Something is coming, and Rick is the only who can stop it, but he's gonna your and your sisters' help," he replied.
"Let's go tell them then," I said.
We went to the attic and told Kate's sisters who Montgomery was.
"So why are you here?" Prue asked.
"Because something is coming and Rick is the only who can stop with a little help but not from you, but you can give him spells and potions and boost his powers," he replied.
"What's coming?" Piper asked.
"You guys have heard of vampires?" he asked.
"Yeah, but we killed the queen, they're all dead,"
"No, you see there are two sets of vampires. The queen once rebelled against her husband, the Master, and began to lead her own 'coven' for lack of better word. They never contacted each other again. But the other vampires, they're coming to San Francisco, and so are the people who are gonna help Rick,"
There was a knock at the door.
"That would be your help," Montgomery told me.
