Part 4
Glenn tried to pick his jaw off the floor. Piper and Leo's son was sitting infront of him. His nephew!
"Are you ok, Uncle Glenn?"
"uh, yeah. This is just... this is just weird! And you know me? Like me, not some different world me?"
Ender couldn't help the amused smile on his face. "Glenn Belland. Born April 1975. You've been best friends with Aunt Paige since school and fell in love when you were 15. You would have stopped travelling in the last year because you couldn't stand not being here with Aunt Paige. You taught me everything I know about music and you're one of the best band bookers in the city. Oh... Sorry you will be."
"Are you allowed to let us hear what we will be in the future?" Prue asked.
"Well... I'm not going to tell you anything major and I think if they drop me on you without warning you're entitled to some little details." He said with a sly grin.
Piper could feel Leo cringe so she shushed him. "He's obviously taken after his mother and aunts." She smiled then kissed him gently.
Leo could sense how happy Piper was. He knew there would painful repercutions but right now her son was right beside her and he knew there was nothing she wanted more.
"So any tips you have for us?" Paige asked.
"Um... Quit your job." He said.
"Why?"
Ender sighed, "because you know your hearts not in it anymore. You have other kinds of people to help with your qualifications. Your whitelighter half has been getting stronger lately. You know that deep down. You sense things, hear things, communicate telepathically."
Paige looked at her feet thinking things over.
"When did you become telepathic?" Prue asked her little sister.
"Um... When Cole came back. I spoke to Piper. But I was scared. I think thats the only reason it worked." She said quietly.
Ender was seething at the mention of his name. He was the only person and demon Ender had ever truely hated. He was always aware of the damage Cole had caused. The scars he had created in the family. Paige was never truely over what happened. None of them really were. He had found a picture of Phoebe and Cole in the attic once. No one knew it was there but when he showed his aunts it had caused a scary reaction. His dad took him out and explained it all to him. That night he burned the picture.
"She done it before. The first time. That's how I knew what he was doing to her." Piper said sadly. She had forgot about that. It never seemed to stay in her mind, the aftermath was enough.
"Well, it gets stronger. Between all of you but Aunt Paige and mom were able to perfect it first. It'll grow slowly but its there."
"Are you ok?" Piper asked putting her hand on Ender's cheek. She may not have known him long but his cheerful exterior had faultered.
He nodded slowly, "yeah. That stuff, it get's to me."
"Well you're not alone."
Ender's answer was hugging Piper.
"Um... sorry to interupt the 'awww' moment but did you forget something, Ender?" Paige pointed towards the guitar which had just orbed itself into the living room.
He jumped up and collected the pale green fender.
"Yeah. They said they'd send it down. Thanks guys!" He shouted to the ceiling.
Phoebe let out a laugh, "I can't believe you just called the Elders 'Guys'."
"Well, get used to it. They don't get any high and mighty treatment from me." He winked.
Glenn got up and looked the guitar over, "I taught you well, didn't I?"
Ender's grin returned, "You did. I smuggled a few things I think you'll like."
He went to his back pack and pulled out a pile of CD's. Searching through them he lifted two out and held them up.
"Oh! So long Astoria! Punk goes Acoustic!"
"I know! It's all I could get past them. Mom, Can we go listen to them?"
Piper laughed, "Ok, but play nice kids." She joked at The giddiness of Glenn.
Paige was blushing, "I can't believe i'm engaged to such a geek."
