"Are you insane!" Paige yelped. "The moment she steps foot into this house, she will be a target. Not to mention, how are we going to keep the demons and us a secret with her around."

Piper thought hard her next words. This was not something they could take lightly. "What are the odds she will get a god home?"

Paige shrugged. "I would try, but you know the answer to that. Not every child is lucky.."

"Then she stays." Piper said.

"Piper, what about-"

"We teach her." The oldest assures. "We teach her about the magical world. About the bad and the good. We also teach her to never tell anyone."

"Piper is right Paige." Phoebe said. "Besides it would be nice to have a little girl running around. Too many boys."

Paige chuckled, pulling her sisters into a tight hug. "Fine. I'll head on out and pick her up." As she grabbed her bag and keys, she paused, turning to the demon. "We are going to have to find a new place for you."

"What? Why?!"

"Because, you are in Allison's room." Piper snapped.

"And she will be needing it tonight." Phoebe added.

And Paige was supposedly the youngest one. "You can stay in my old apartment. I'll take you later, but right now I have to pick up Allison. Bye!"

"Bye!" Both sisters yelled.

Piper chuckled softly to herself. This may be good for Paige. Someone she can care for and love. "This will work out just fine."

"I hope so." Suddenly Phoebe gasped. "Zankou."

Piper frowned. "What about him?"

"We just added a new name to his list. I don't think he will be too happy to find out. Especially another kid and human." Phoebe whispered, looking around as if the man was going to pop out at any moment.

The seers laughter echoed through the manor. "Happy? The man will be furious." She laughed harder, holding her side. "He despises children. Can't stand them."

Piper picked up the chimney poker, twirling it around like a bat. "Aren't you suppose to be packing?" The seer scoffed, stomping her way up the stairs and slamming the bedroom door closed. "Did-did she just slam my door?"

Phoebe chuckled, carefully taking the poker out of her hands. "Let's just put this down, before you poke someone's eye out. Now, hate to be the one in saying this, but she was right."

"About what?"

"How is Zankou going to take this?" Phoebe asked.

"We can't just keep changing the agreement we have."

Piper sighed, flopping down on the couch. Phoebe was right, he wasn't going to like this. "If he doesn't want to help, then we will watch her ourselves. Make sure she is with one of us at all times."

"Alright." Gathering the papers into a pile, she stacked them back into the folder. "I am going to toss these into the safe before I head out for my date."

"Okay, but please don't stay out too long." Piper said, although she was sure Phoebe didn't hear her. Just as she was about to call for Zankou, she paused. The seer was still here and having Zankou come would be a mistake. "Hey Amar!"

Amar was one of the demons watching them. He was alright, for a demon. "What?"

"Can you take me to Zankou?" She tried putting on her best smile.

Amar raised a brow, shaking his head quickly. "No."

"What? Why?"

"If I do that, Zankou will kill me." Amar said in the most obvious tone. "And I rather like to live another day."

"Look I need to see him." Piper plead. "I assure you Zankou will not kill you." Amar crossed his arms, still shaking his head. "Fine, then I will just have to cast a spell to take me. I wonder what Zankou will do when he sees me arrive all alone."

Amar held his ground for all two seconds, before grabbing her hand and flaming them into the underground. Before he was even completely there, a hand grabbed ahold of his throat and shoved him against the cave wall.

"Are you insane!" Zankou roared.

Piper's eyes widen at seeing Amar going blue. Rushing over to Zankou, she placed a hand on the arm, trying to get him to lower it. "Zankou let him go." Seeing the man do nothing, she grabbed his chin forcing him to look at her. "I promised him you wouldn't hurt him."

Zankou clenched his teeth, letting go of the demon harshly. "She just saved your life. There won't be a second time."

Amar rubbed his sore throat, gasping for breath. "Yes sir."

"Go back to the manor. Tell Demo to get the second watchers ready." Zankou waited for the demon to flame out, before turning his attention to the witch. "What are you doing here Piper?"

"I needed to speak with you."

"I told you to have one of my men call for me." Zankou grumbled. "In fact why didn't you call for me?" The sound of nearing footsteps, had him pulling her into his chambers. "I may have some respect down here Piper, but you are still a charmed one and they are still demons. Not to mention that if Malik's men see you, th-" He was cut off by her lips crashing onto his. Not even trying to fight it anymore, he wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up. Piper was quick to wrap her legs around his waist, not once breaking the contact.

Pulling back just enough to speak, she ran a hand through his hair. "I know Zankou, but I had good reasons to come here."

"Like?" Leaning down to her neck, he nibbled over her pulse.

"Like your ex in my house. And to talk to you about the little girl coming to live with us." She closed her eyes, sensing him go stiff. "On the bright side, the seer is moving out."

Pulling back Zankou stared at her. "What girl?"

"Paige was surprised with custody papers today for a 5 year old." Sliding off him, Piper took a seat on a chair. "It just happened."

"Piper this is getting to be too much." Zankou sighed.

Piper chuckled. "We will help. When we asked for your protection, we never expected you to do all the work. But it was only fair I tell you."

Taking a seat on the bed, he gestured her to him. Settling her on his lap, Zankou breath her in. "You are not making things easy on me."

"Who ever said this would be easy?"

"No one I suppose." Kissing her softly on the neck, he sat her on the bed. "Well you are now stuck here for the next few hours. I have some things to do, before I can take you back up."

"No worries. Phoebe and Paige are out and the boys should have been picked up by now for a slumber party."

By the time Zankou was finished with his "things", Piper had fallen asleep.

Zankou walked back into his chamber, tossing a book onto the table. "I am running out of ideas." Hearing no response, he glanced at her sleeping form.

Pulling up a chair next to her, Zankou watched her. She was beautiful, even as she snored softly. Of all the witches and demons in this world, why her? "I don't know how you managed it, but you are in pretty deep now." Pushing a stand of hair back away from her face, he chuckled. "If mother was still alive, both Cole and I would have been skinned alive by now." Seeing her stir, he pulled the blanket over her shoulders. Standing from the chair, he picked her up bridal style. Zankou paused all movement as she snuggled closer into him. "Let's get you into your own bed." Flaming out into her room, he placed her on the bed, careful not to wake her. If he learned one thing for sure, was that even the slightest noise would wake her up.
