Piper woke up slowly the sun was shinning brightly through the windows and she looked around to see Paige and Phoebe coming down the stairs showered and dressed. Piper sat up.
"Oh Piper" said Paige running to her and hugging her. "Prue told us what happened you alright"
"Physically yeah" said Piper.
Paige helped Piper up.
"Where's Leo and Ben?" asked Piper.
"In the kitchen" said Phoebe.
Piper hurried in there and saw Leo tickling Ben in his highchair. Piper let out a sigh of relief and Leo caught this.
"Sorry" said Leo. "We woke up early and..."
"It's okay" said Piper. "But you did kidnap him so I don't really trust you with him"
"Oh" said Leo he stood up.
"No Leo you can finish what you're doing" said Piper sitting at the table.
"I'll get you some coffee" said Phoebe.
"So did you guys come up with anything last night?" asked Piper.
"A few power stripping potions and Paige wrote a spell to bring out two souls" said Prue.
"Then we also had this other plan" said Phoebe handing Piper the cup.
"Which is?"
"Remember when you and Prue had to "die" to defeat a ghost or spirit" said Phoebe.
"Yeah so?"
"Um well if we draw Cole and Balthazar out of the body Cole can vanquish Balthazar" said Phoebe.
"One no too risky I'm not having my husband die again and two Cole's not a witch" said Piper.
"You don't have to be a witch to do spells" said Phoebe. "Cole is powerful enough he can vanquish Balthazar. Put yourself as a witch first and wife later that's the only way we can save him"
"It could work" said Leo cleaning off Ben's mouth.
"Alright" sighed Piper. "We have to trap Balthazar somehow"
"Well we definitely didn't see the last of him" said Prue. "We could use Madeline"
"We're not using my charge as bait" said Paige sternly.
"Would you rather use your sister or your nephew?" asked Leo.
"Maybe Ben could draw him in or something" suggested Phoebe.
"Right Ben I forgot all about him" said Piper.
"I told him and Elizabeth" said Prue. "They were pretty distraught"
Magic Shop
Elizabeth rolled her eyes at the giggling girls obviously in search of a love spell. She was looking through a book shelf. She needed the right spell and this wasn't permanent, it was temporary...she touched her stomach and sighed.
She was so confused about everything. She could feel the baby's power all ready.
"Not till we leave" said Elizabeth. "Let's summon your brother shall we?"
Manor
"Thanks for coming" said Piper shutting the door.
Benjamin hugged her. "How are you?"
"I guess as fine as I can be" said Piper shrugging. "There's too many things going wrong. We're about to summon Balthazar"
They walked to the living room where Madeline was sitting.
"If Balthazar comes by the summoning spell then we don't need Madeline" said Piper.
"I really don't like the idea of me as bait" said Madeline.
Paige patted her shoulder as she held a couple potions. Phoebe and Prue were looking over the spell.
"Leo got Ben?" asked Piper.
"Yeah" said Leo picking him up.
Andy grabbed his diaper bag.
"I need you both to be with him so don't come back for any reason" said Piper unless we get you. She lifted her hair and showed them the marker that everyone had on their neck just in case anyone tried to pull a glamour.
"We got it" said Leo. "Be careful all of you"
"You too" said Piper.
Everyone walked up and kissed Ben.
"Ma!" cried Ben. He wrapped his arms around Piper as tears fell down his cheeks. Piper wiped them away and smiled. "Mommy and Daddy will be coming back don't be scared"
"We should go" said Andy.
The group watched them orb away. Piper turned back around.
"Ok everyone know what they have to do?" asked Piper.
"Yup" said Paige.
"What should I do?" asked Ben.
"Try to get through to Cole" said Prue. "Ready guys?"
Piper, Phoebe, and Paige nodded. Paige stayed near Madeline to orb her out if it did work.
Magic Forces Black and White,
Reaching out through Space and Light
Be he far or be he near
Bring us the demon Balthazar here
Whirls of wind ran through the house
"Is that suppose to happen?" asked Paige.
Madeline stood up.
"Well sweethearts it's about time you called" said Balthazar standing in front of about 10 demons.
"Uh oh" said Prue backing up.
"Uh Phoebe you did make the Balthazar vanquish potions right?" asked Piper.
Phoebe nodded. "I accidentally left them in the kitchen and I made 5"
"I'll get them" whispered Prue. "Distract everyone"
"How am I suppose to do that?" asked Piper.
"Call upon your other powers"
"Ok" said Piper. She looked up. "Come on guys I really need my powers, just temporarily"
Raynor shimmered next to Balthazar.
Piper glared at him.
"My favorite witches" said Raynor.
Balthazar conjured up an athame and smiled at Phoebe.
"Maybe you'll be the first one to go" he said pointing the athame.
Paige orbed Madeline away. Balthazar chuckled. Then Prue orbed into the kitchen.
"Let the bloodbath begin" he said as the demons ran over to the sisters.
"Cole!" cried Benjamin. "Don't do this we're your family"
"Can it old man" said Balthazar waving his hand and turning him into a grandfather clock. Piper tried to blow up the demons but it didn't work.
"They're immune to you" said Raynor.
Prue orbed back. "They're not immune to this"
Away from the fight she put the potions down. Then she waved her hand over the potions and they multiplied by two.
"Guys!" cried Prue.
As Phoebe came running Balthazar shot an energy ball at her and she was tossed back across the room and she crumpled to the floor.
"Phoebe!" cried Piper.
Prue tossed three potions at the demons next to her as Piper flipped one to the floor. Paige orbed back in but as she materialized Balthazar walked over and stabbed her in the stomach.
"Sweet Dreams" he said kissing her forehead. He took his knife out and let Paige fall to the floor.
"Cole no please fight it!" cried Prue.
Balthazar looked over at Prue.
"Yes come on Cole come back to your family, to Ben and Piper"
Piper vanquished the remaining demons so that Raynor and Cole were left. Piper felt a sudden power surge and focused it on Raynor. Lightening shot through her hands and into Raynor who started to rise and shake.
Balthazar was looking between Piper and Raynor.
"They're evil Balthazar" screamed Raynor. "Don't let the human take over in you. They want to hurt you they never trusted you. I'm the only father you've got"
Prue saw Balthazar forming an energy ball, a large one and was aiming it at Piper.
"No" he growled as he released it.
Prue ran and pushed Piper down. Raynor fell to the ground. Balthazar helped him up.
"Good job" said Raynor waving his hand in front of Cole's face. "Fight the human, push him deeper and kill the witches"
He snapped his fingers and Balthazar slightly smiled. Piper tried to get Prue's limp body off of her as Balthazar approached them. Phoebe stood up and dodged Raynor's energy ball.
Then she levitated and kicked Balthazar to the ground. Elizabeth shimmered in.
"Elizabeth how nice of you to join us" said Raynor.
Elizabeth looked to the second grandfather clock and waved her hand. Benjamin breathed deeply. Balthazar stood up.
"Cole are you there sweetie we need you" said Elizabeth.
"No use" said Raynor laughing.
Benjamin started to heal Paige. Elizabeth looked to Cole.
"It's the only way" murmured Elizabeth.
Piper stood up as Benjamin orbed to Prue to heal her.
Elizabeth took out a piece of paperTo save my son from evil's will
Age must turn back
To keep the demon within from running wild
Turn my son back into a child
Paige groaned as she sat up and leaned against the wall. Everyone turned away from the blinding white light. Then Piper looked to the pile of clothes on the floor.
"What did you do!" screamed Piper ready to charge at Elizabeth but Prue held her back as a baby about 1 and a half years old peeked up.
Elizabeth smiled. "It worked"
Raynor gaped and Prue tk'd him hard against the wall knocking him out.
"Use the power stripping potion on him" said Prue to Phoebe. "I think Cole deserves the honor of vanquishing him again"
Phoebe nodded as Piper walked over.
"Elizabeth what did you do?" asked Benjamin as Elizabeth picked up Cole with the bundle of clothes to keep him covered. Bright blue eyes were filled with confusion.
"Mama!" cried Cole.
Elizabeth smiled. "He said mama he called me mom"
"Yeah get over it and turn him back we had it under control" said Piper.
"Yeah three out of four half dead" said Elizabeth.
"Excuse me" said Prue raising her hand. "I'm already dead"
Elizabeth held Cole close.
"Beth dear you have to turn Cole back" said Benjamin.
"We have the power stripping potion and the spell to draw Balthazar out" said Phoebe.
"I've done things your way and they don't work" said Elizabeth coldly. "He's my son and I'll help him"
"Like that!" cried Paige.
"We'll be back" said Elizabeth shimmering away.
"Damn it!" screamed Piper.
"And things keep getting more complicated and more complicated" murmured Paige.
