Chapter 4
"Feeling better Jersey?" Cole asked Jersey who was watching a video the next day. He walked into the living room.
"Yeah, guess what?" Jersey replied. Cole smiled and walked closer to her.
"What?" Cole asked. Jersey had a big smile on her face.
"I can control my powers now. Except now I through fire too!" Jersey said excitedly. Cole laughed. Phoebe's potion had worked like a charm. Jersey's color was back, and the dark circles around her eyes had completely disappeared.
"That's great. Do you know where Phoebe is?" Cole asked. Jersey pointed into the kitchen.
"She went in there. Where's Jamie?" Jersey asked. Cole looked upstairs.
"I think she's still sleeping." Cole said, walking into the kitchen.
"Hey baby." Phoebe greeted, kissing Cole on the cheek. Cole kissed Phoebe back.
"Paige, did you talk to your boss about Jamie and Jersey staying here for a while?" Piper asked. Paige turned around and looked insulted.
"Piper, I am the counselor now, where Jamie and Jersey stay is up too me." Paige said. Piper laughed.
"I'm sorry." Piper said.
"I just have to, take care of Mary." Paige said.
"I think you know what do there." Phoebe said. Paige nodded.
"Leo, did you find out anything on the parent issue we were having?" Leo nodded.
"There mother was good, we talked about their father." Leo said. Piper nodded.
"Ok, there isn't a problem there then?" Paige asked. Leo shook his head.
"Paige, don't they go to school?" Phoebe asked. Paige nodded.
"There on break, it's like the founder of the schools birthday." Paige replied. Jamie came into the room, following Jersey.
"Can we go to the park?" Jersey asked. Cole looked at Phoebe.
"Can we?" He asked. Phoebe laughed.
"Fine, but I can't go, Elaine wants me to work today." Phoebe said grabbing her coat.
"I gotta go too. I have to, take care of their case." Paige said. Jamie looked up at Paige curiously.
"See, I told you that you were different." Jamie said. Paige smiled.
"Yes you did, didn't you?" Paige replied Jamie nodded.
"Cole, you and Leo go, I'm kinda tired. Plus I need to talk to Paige." Piper said. Cole and Leo nodded.
"Piper I have to go to work." Paige said.
"I know, I'll give you a ride, come on." Piper said.
"How do you do that?" Jersey asked. The four of them had walked to the park, and noticed some guys playing baseball on a baseball diamond. They left, and forgot their ball.
"I can show you how." Cole said. Jersey nodded. The four of them walked on the baseball diamond, and Cole picked up the ball. Jersey stood pretty close to the home plate, about ten feet from where Cole was.
"Which hand is stronger?" Cole asked, Jersey looked at her hands.
"My teacher says to write with this one." Jersey said, holding out her left hand. Cole through her the ball gently and she caught it. He taught her and Jamie how to throw, and some rules of the game, and that you needed a mitt to actually play catch with one. Then they played tag in the playground.
"Can we play, baseball again?" Jersey asked. Jamie eagerly nodded. Cole looked at Leo.
"It's getting kinda late." Leo said. He whispered something in Cole's ear, and Cole smiled.
"Yeah, you guys didn't have breakfast, or lunch, we should have a snack." Cole said. Leo watched an awe. He didn't know Cole was so good with kids. Jersey and Jamie nodded.
"Guess what?" Jamie asked Jersey, walking in the direction of the manor.
"What?" Jersey asked.
"I got to cook with Piper last night. It was yummy." Jamie said. Jersey smiled.
"Cool. Guess what?" Jersey asked.
"What?" Jamie asked. Cole and Leo listened curiously to what two six-year-old twins had to say to each other.
"Last one to that poll is a rotten egg!" Jersey exclaimed, the two girls took off running. Jersey was a little faster then Jamie, and finished first.
"That doesn't count, I wasn't trying." Jamie pouted Jersey laughed.
"Yes you were. You're breathing hard." Jersey argued.
"You want to what?' Paige asked. She now had her own office, and Piper was sitting across from her. Piper got up and shut the door.
"Well, you can, can't you. I can, I talked to Leo and he said he was thinking the exact same thing." Piper said. Paige starred at her in disbelief.
"No, I think it's great that you want to adopt the twins, but, something else came up." Paige said. Piper looked around the room.
"What?" Piper asked. Paige took a deep breath.
"Phoebealreadyaskedmetohelpheradoptthem." Paige mumbled quickly. Piper didn't know exactly what she said, but she did hear the words Phoebe and adopt in the same sentence, which didn't help her.
"Can I use your phone?" Piper asked. Paige looked at Piper oddly. Paige nodded,
"Just don't mess with anything." Paige said before she left the room. Piper smiled, until Paige left the room, then desperately took the phone off the hook, and dialed Phoebe's work number. In the process of doing so, she knocked down a stack of papers.
"Hello, Phoebe Halliwell speaking." Phoebe said on the other line.
"Isn't it Turner now?" Piper asked. Phoebe rolled her eyes, but wondered why Piper was calling her.
"Hey Piper, what do you want?" Phoebe asked.
"Oh, I don't know I was just wondering if you were thinking of adopting any kids lately?" Piper asked.
"Paige told you?"
"Yeah, do you know when, she told me?'
"No, Piper I really don't care how your conversation went-"
"DO, you know how she told me?"
"How?" Phoebe sighed.
"She told me when I told her I wanted to adopt them too!" Piper said angrily. Phoebe looked shocked.
"I'm sorry?" Phoebe thought of words to say, but she didn't know what Piper wanted to do.
"Phoebe, you're the person who didn't even want to get married at first."
"You didn't want to either."
"That was for a different reason."
"I know, but Piper, if they get adopted by someone else, they might accidentally use their powers, or-"
"PHOEBE! That someone else, would be me!"
"Piper, I don't have to listen to this."
"Oh, yes you do." Click.
"Phoebe, Phoebe, hello?" Piper asked. She heard the annoying continues rhythm of the dial tone.
"Hmm, we must have gotten disconnected." Piper mumbled to herself. She was about to dial the phone, when a hand made her hang up the phone.
"Nope, she hung up on you." Paige's voice reassured. She went around to the back of her desk, and noticed the papers.
"Piper, you go work this out with Phoebe." Paige ordered.
"But I-" Piper began. Paige started to push her out the door.
"No, out!" Paige said, giving Piper one last shove, then closed the door.
Piper walked into the manor, and got stopped by Jamie yelling her name and giving her a big hug.
"Hey, sweetheart!" Piper greeted happily.
"Can I help you make lunch and dinner again today?" Jamie asked. Piper smiled.
"Sure, did you have fun with Leo, Jersey and Cole at the park?" Piper asked, as Jamie followed her into the living room, where Cole, Jersey and Leo were watching a football game. Jersey had Cole's baseball cap on backwards, and she looked really cute in it, because it was too big for her.
Cole and Leo yelled at a bad play for their team, and Jersey joined them. Cole looked down at her.
"You didn't like that touch down either?" Cole asked. Jersey shook her head no. Piper and Leo laughed. Piper greeted Leo with a kiss.
"Hi Cole." Piper said. Cole waved, and continued to watch the game. Jersey looked up at Piper.
"Hi Piper." Jersey said cheerfully.
"Hey, Jersey." Piper greeted. Jamie pulled Piper into the kitchen by her hand. Leo got up and walked into the kitchen with them.
"Did you talk to Paige?" Leo asked Piper. Jamie was looking in the cupboards for something to make. Piper nodded.
"Apparently, so did Phoebe." Piper said. Leo looked confused.
"You mean Phoebe and Cole want to-" Leo stopped, and looked a Jamie. Piper nodded.
"We should probably talk to them tonight. Can you watch Jamie and Jersey, me and Cole, we have something to do." Leo said. Piper looked confused.
"Ok. Jamie, wanna go ask Jersey if she wants to help too?" Piper asked, bending down to Jamie's level. Jamie looked up and thought for a second.
"Ok, but can I make dinner with just you tonight?" Jamie asked. Piper smiled.
"Sure. Now go get your sister." Piper replied. Jamie ran into the other room to get Jersey.
"Ok, go." Piper said. Leo smiled, kissed Piper on the cheek and left with Cole.
Leon stood in his human form, in the underworld talking to Mary.
"You might be giving up on them but I'm not!" Mary said, she turned into the old lady she appeared to be at S.B.S.S (South Bay Social Services).
"There still in my care, I have three weeks with them left." Mary said. Leon shook his head.
"Your going to get yourself vanquished. Balthazar even liked that girl, you can't even take on him alone, never mind the Charmed Ones. Mary ignored him.
"You will see, I have gotten a little stronger, and I plan to change my strategy a little bit."
