"Brianna." Vince stood up and hugged his sister. It had been months since
they had last met. Brianna didn't want to tell her mother of their secrect
visits because she might try to do something insane and highly unusual to
get him back. She knew Vince accepted his new position all on his own and
no one could change his mind not even her. Brianna enjoyed the visits and
offered more than once for Vince to talk to Phoebe, but he felt things were
best the way they were. He couldn't bear to see his mother with those pain
stricken eyes. He felt it was best for him to be the Source, and make sure
no one would attack them- not anyone powerful to kill them anyway.
"Where do you want to go to today?" He asked squezing his sister with one arm walking arm in arm out of the high school. "I dunno. We've done just about everything." Vince smiled down at his sister as she thought of all the places they hadn't been. "Well, how about I give you a suprise."
"Demonic suprise?" Brianna asked peering into her brothers eyes to see if he was lying. "No- okay yeah. But not like that. No powers, just demons." Vince fumbled with his keys pulling them out from his jacket. "Why would I want to hang with demons?" He walked her over to the passenger side of the car and helped her into his black SUV. "Oh I think you will." Vince said polishing off a corner of his car with a clean cloth that had been smuged a little.
"Is this another car?" Brianna asked fiddling with some of the buttons on the computer in the glove compartment. "Yeah," he answered from outside,"it's a limited edition Cadillac Escalade EXT. I just got it back from the shop, we added some things in it- like a demonic radar, DVD players in all seats, Playstation 3- had to break off a arm and a leg if you know what I mean, a regular navigator, neon lights under the caddy-" Brianna stopped him short in another one of his car lectures. "Okay, I get it. Can we just go?" Vince walked got inside the car looking hurt. "I'm sorry if I hurt you little testosterone feelings." Vince smiled and looked over at Brianna. "It's okay." He leaned over and kissed his sister on the forehead. She was the only real person that he could count on. After all they had both been on both sides, but unlike with his mother, Brianna and him had a special bond that no one could stop.
Soon as Vince cranked up the car, the bass was rumbling from underneath their seats. Music came out of every corner of the car alarming the woman who walked by behind the car. "THIS IS THE BEST DAMN SOUND SYSTEM! WHO IS THIS?!" Brianna screamed. "ACT A FOOL BY LUDACRIS!" Vince screamed back. Brianna was already into the chorus before Vince could even finish his words. The car reeved as he pulled out of the parking space ready for more. In less than a second they went from 0-100 and were gone.

Piper and Melinda walked inside of the bridal shop surrounded by thousand dollar dresses and soon-to-be wives. "Hello and welcome to David's Bridal. I supposed you're going to be checking out of matneral dresses then?" Then woman asked already leading Piper over. "I'm not the one getting married. My daughter is." The womans smile downed a little and then noticing herself perked her little smile back up. "Oh of course! I was only kidding! Bridal joke." Just as soon as the words left her mouth she dropped Piper and ushered Melinda over to the other side of the store. "It's just so wonderful seeing young couples get married. We don't often see people under 25 in here." A small laugh erupted from the salesclerk but quickly stopped after she found she was the only on laughing. "Well, I'm Janet by the way. And these here are the dresses. Ready to dive in?" Melinda and Piper gave each other awkward looks but continued on anyway.

Phoebe sat waiting at the airport. Should she even be here? No, that's a silly question. He's been gone for months on end and only comes back every two days or so and then leaves. He's the one that has been keeping her together with Vince. Even though he doesn't have a clue on what's going on and only thinks that's Vince's off to live with his father in New York. "Phoebe." A voice rang from behind her. Phoebe looked back and saw Jason, his face clean shaven and beaming holding out his arms. She ran up to him and they kissed. "Oh, I missed you so much." Jason said still holding onto Phoebe. "How was New Zealand?" Phoebe asked walking with Jason towards his awaiting limo. "Fine. But it would've been great if you and the kids were there." A gave Phoebe another kiss the limo driver opened the door. "I know honey, but with the way things are-"
"We can get him back I promise. I'll get the best lawyers." Phoebe patted his chest to stop him from rambling on. "He is the law. You can't stop him. Vince's is probally better off anyway. He hasn't seen his father in so long." Phoebe lied trying to hold back tears. "Brianna needs her brother, and Melinda, our niece, needs her cousin at her wedding front row and center." He pressured on. Phoebe just wanted this converstation to end. She missed her son too much and this was just straining everything. "Vince will be in town soon. If his father allows him to stay, then we'll leave it at that." Phoebe entered the car leaving Jason standing there. "Are you coming?" Phoebe asked sticking her head out. "Yeah, I'm coming." He said, smiling after seeing his wife's beautiful face this time smiling instead of stricken with pain and loss. He stepped inside closing the door himself.

Leo soothed Matt and laid him down on the couch to sleep. Glenn just looked on in awe seening the veteran dad master the skills of getting kids to sleep. "I still don't get how you do that." Glenn said sitting down on the arm of the couch. "Well, the trick is changing them in their sleep. The clothes are eiser to put on if their not moving." Leo gently pulled off the shirt off of Matthew not even startling him. "Yeah, I get that, but putting him to sleep. Paige can do it fine, but with me all he does is scream when I try to put him down for the night."
"Well, maybe it's the way you're holding him. Or it could be what your feeding Matt." Leo said unsnapping the snaps that went down his pants. "Well, I usualy just give him ice cream or something. That's what usually gets him to be quiet." Leo laughed. "Well, that's you're problem. Don't give him sweets 1-2 before his bed time. He won't go to sleep." Glenn shook his head in agreement as Ben walked in from the front door. "Hey Mr. Wyatt. Is Melinda around?" Ben asked walking into the living room. "Nope, she's with her mother shopping."
"Good." Ben slumped down in the chair. "What's wrong?" Glenn asked turning around to face Ben. "I lost the rings." Glenn choked on his words from laughing. "You what?!" Ben shot glances over at Glenn. "I don't know what happened to them. One minute they were in my pocket, and the next-" Ben threw his arms up in the air extremely exausted. "Don't worry, it happens to the best of us. I lost them before too." Leo soothed the baby rubbing his back putting him back to sleep. "They'll turn up."
"Where do you want to go to today?" He asked squezing his sister with one arm walking arm in arm out of the high school. "I dunno. We've done just about everything." Vince smiled down at his sister as she thought of all the places they hadn't been. "Well, how about I give you a suprise."
