Chapter 10

"Jersey's gone too." Phoebe exclaimed, rushing down the stairs of the manor. Cole greeted her with a comforting kiss on the cheek, and then looked Phoebe in the eye.

"I'm going to search the underworld. If they were alone at night, evil might take the advantage." Cole exclaimed. Phoebe paused, then nodded.

"Be careful." Phoebe replied, hugging Cole before he shimmered out.

"Guys, we'll find them." Paige reassured, putting a comforting arm around Phoebe and Piper.

"I'm going to try and find a spell or something." Phoebe suggested, walking up the stairs. A baby's cry filled up the house, and Piper looked at Paige.

"I'll get him, go help Phoebe." Piper exclaimed. Paige nodded and followed Piper up the stairs.



Jersey's vision blurred as she tried to move her worn body. She closed her eyes, and then opened them again, to defeat the blurriness. She moved out of Jamie's hug, and tried to stand up. Her leg shot a crisp cut of pain, as she fell harshly to the rocky ground. She felt the burn on her leg, and noticed her badly scraped arm, that she used sub-consciously to break her fall. It was swollen, and badly bruised.

"Jamie? Jamie wake up!" Jersey cried, tears began to fall from her blood shot eyes, and fear struck her mind. She gently rocked herself back and forth, trying to blink out of the underworld. She heard a noise, and fear rushed over her. She was crying so hard, that despite her struggles, her breath was loud, and noticeable.

The footsteps came closer, and she decided to suck it in. She held her breath and used the blood painted wall to help her stand up. She got her left hand ready to shoot a glaze of fire. Jersey listened carefully and calmed down her tears. She heard a single footstep echo through the maze- like underworld. Jersey picked up a rock and through it against the other side of the rock she hit. Out of the shadows walked a seven-foot tall warlock; his face still didn't come clear in the dark red light. Without thinking, she fired fire at the mysterious figure, and then ran as fast as she could behind another rock. "Little brat!" The warlock cursed, Jersey knew her hit hadn't been so weak, but she realized she forgot about Jamie. Whipping around the rock to save her sister, she this time channeled electricity at the warlock, and sent him back onto another wall.

"Jamie, Jamie you have to wake up now!" Jersey cried, her voice getting weary. The warlock blinked behind her and held his dagger high in the air. "Put it down." A familiar voice warned. Cole shimmered in front of Jersey, and stood protectively over her. "Balthazar, your no match for me." The warlock hissed. Cole tilted his head. "No?" Cole asked, stepping up to the warlock. The warlock drew his dagger higher in the air. Cole drew his arm back with lightning speed, and released an energy ball at the warlock. "Cole!" Jersey cried. Cole turned around, kneeled and hugged the distressed child. "Jersey, what happened?" Cole asked, still holding Jersey. Jersey looked up at him. "Jamie tried to go down here and kill a warlock. I thought I was dreaming it, but then the next thing I knew I was, here." Jersey said, she buried her face into Cole's chest. "Come on." Cole said, He reached and held Jamie's hand, and shimmered them all to the manor.





"Thank you Leo!" Jersey thanked, giving him a hug.

"Jersey, sweetie you can't do that, we'll let you know when we want you to help us fight warlocks, and demons." Phoebe explained. Jersey looked up at her and shrugged.

"I didn't mean to, I just was there, and then Jamie was there. I van- um, vanqui-, I killed a warlock. I saved Jamie. But that didn't count, cause I forgot about her later. That's when Cole saved me!" Jersey replied, looking up joyfully at Cole. Phoebe hugged Jersey and smiled.

"You need to get to bed." Phoebe said, noticing that Jamie hadn't said one word, and Leo and Piper hadn't been all open either.

"Ok. I'm tired. I was trying to sleep, but then I was down there." Jersey said. The adults grinned.

"Come on, we'll tuck you in." Cole offered, picking Jersey up. The three walked up the stairs. Piper and Leo looked at Jamie, who looked down.

"Sweetheart, why would you think that we'd love Dustin more than you, did we not give you enough attention?" Piper asked, sitting by Jamie. Jamie looked up at Piper.

"What's tention?" Jamie asked, looking from Piper to Leo.

"Attention, did we not talk, or hug you enough?" Leo explained. Jamie shook her head.

"No, you hugged me a lot, and you talked to me a lot too." Jamie said. Leo looked at Piper.

"Then why would you think something like that? Because it's defiantly not true." Piper asked, stressing the last three words. Jamie looked down again.

"Because, Dustin's not adopted. And why would you want me, if you could have your own kid?" Jamie asked. Piper looked hurt, and hugged Jamie.

"Jamie, we love you just at much as we love Dustin. We love you because your you, and we adopted you because, we wanted you to be part of our family." Leo explained. Piper nodded.

"Did you know Paige, is only half related to me and Phoebe?" Piper asked. Jamie curiously looked up at Piper.

"We have different daddies, and Phoebe and I love her just as much as we love each other." Piper continued. Jamie smiled.

"Really?" Jamie asked.

"Really." Leo said, letting a happy smile crawl across his face. Jamie let the smile drop from her face, then looked at Piper and Leo.

"Do you think, if, since you wanted me to be your daughter, then-, well, I never had a mommy or daddy before, so, could I call you guys mommy and daddy? Jamie asked hopefully. Leo and Piper smiled.

"Of course you can." Piper answered. Piper hugged Jamie, and Leo soon joined in the hug.





Jersey held Snickers close, and she told Phoebe and Cole her adventure.

"Wow, you're pretty brave." Phoebe said, smiling at Jersey. Jersey smiled back at Phoebe.

"Except for then I was scared." Jersey said, looking at Cole, who smiled back at her.

"What do you think about Jamie and Dustin?" Phoebe asked, sitting on the end of Jersey's bed. Jersey looked up at Cole.

"I think that Jamie is lucky to have a baby brother, and that Piper and Leo will love her always, just as much as they love Dustin." Jersey said, she let Snickers go and the puppy trotted over to Cole, who picked him up.

"Then you wouldn't mind having a younger brother or sister of your own?" Phoebe asked, looking from Jersey to Cole. Cole looked at Phoebe confused. Jersey shook her head. "I think it would be cool." Jersey replied. Phoebe smiled. And looked at Jersey.

"Good, because in several months.... That might happen!" Phoebe said excitedly. Cole had an ear-to-ear grin on his face and Jersey smiled with excitement.

"Phoebe, that's, it's, great, why didn't you tell me before?" Cole asked, sitting on the end of Jersey's bed. Phoebe shrugged. Cole hugged Phoebe and she joyfully hugged back. Jersey's eyes narrowed, and she pounced on them.

"Guys, let me in!" Jersey ordered.

"That reminds me, would you care if I called you mom and dad, since really that's what you are?" Jersey asked. Phoebe and Cole immediately granted the idea, and laughed at Snickers barked happily in the background.
