Chapter 4

In the Halliwell Manor:

Phoebe sat in her room holding a picture of Wyatt and Little Chris. She thought maybe she could get a sense of where Wyatt was if she concentrated on his image. So far it wasn't working. Mike came in. He walked over to his wife and kissed the top of her head. "Hi Honey. Are you ok?" Phoebe nodded. "I'm fine. I just wish I could help find Wyatt." Mike rubbed Phoebe's shoulders. "I know." Phoebe flinched and dropped the picture. Her face contorted in pain and her hands fell to her stomach. Mike gripped her shoulders harder. "Phoebe?" Phoebe was breathing hard. "I think the baby's coming." Phoebe smiled through her pain. This little one certainly had bad timing. Mike patted her shoulder. "I'll get your sisters." Phoebe made her way to the bed as Mike left. She had decided to have her daughter at home.

Mike found Piper in the kitchen. "Piper, come quick. Phoebe's in labor." Piper ran for the stairs and went up to help Phoebe. Mike searched the house, finally locating Prue and Paige in the attic. "The baby's coming!" The three ran down to Mike and Phoebe's bedroom. Piper was already busy making Phoebe comfortable. She looked up and smiled at the others. "The baby's coming fast. Her water already broke." Mike sat down next to Phoebe and stroked her hair. Prue went to get some towels and things from the bathroom. Paige got the supplies they needed from the closet. Blankets and clothes for the baby and the medical bag.

Little Chris started to cry in his crib. He could sense a change in the house. Something was happening and he wanted to be part of it. Leo orbed into the room and lifted his son into his arms. "What's wrong buddy? Where is everyone?" Suddenly he heard a scream from down the hall. He held Chris tight and ran to Phoebe's room. When he reached the room, he saw Phoebe in hard labor and the other sisters trying to assist her. Poor Mike was sitting across the room, looking quite ill. Leo handed Chris to Mike. "Here, hold him for a minute." Leo went closer to the bed. "Prue I need to talk to you." Prue followed Leo to the hallway.

Leo talked in a hushed voice so the others wouldn't hear. "The Elders think there's a pattern to where Wyatt is orbing. The places they've gone are all places that Phoebe went with Cole. The other boy must be drawn to his father's essence. There are only two places left that they haven't visited yet. If you go to one of them and I go to the other, maybe we can catch them and get Wyatt back." Prue nodded. "Good idea. Where should I go?" Leo thought for a minute. "You go to the Moseleum. I'll go to the loft." Prue orbed out. Seconds later Leo orbed out as well.

At The Mausoleum:

Prue stood in the Mausoleum thinking about how many times she'd come here to find Phoebe asleep waiting for Cole. She sat down on the floor and waited. Hopefully when her nephew and the demon boy arrived here, she'd be able to separate them.

Phoebe and Cole's old loft apartment:

Leo orbed into the loft that Cole and Phoebe had shared. It was still empty even after all this time. The furniture had been removed. It was completely empty. Leo went into what used to be Phoebe and Cole's bedroom. The essence of Cole would be strongest there and that would most likely be the room that the demon boy would be drawn to. He stood in a corner and waited.

Back at the Manor:

Phoebe had been in hard labor for nearly an hour. Her face was red and sweaty. Her knuckles were white as she gripped Paige's hand. Bearing down she gave one last push and the baby entered the world. The little one let out a loud cry. Piper held her up so Phoebe could see her. "It's a girl." Phoebe collapsed on the bed with a smile on her face. Paige set to work cleaning Phoebe up as Piper cleaned off the baby. Mike walked over to the bed and kissed Phoebe's cheek. "You did it Sweetie. She's beautiful." Little Chris cooed and patted his aunt's head. Phoebe smiled and kissed his little hand.

Piper wrapped the baby in a blanket as Paige helped Phoebe sit up. Piper placed the baby in Phoebe's arms and took Chris from Mike. Phoebe gazed down at her daughter in amazement. She was everything she'd seen in the vision and so much more. She looked just like Phoebe except she had Mike's eyes. Mike watched his wife and daughter with pride. "What are we going to call her?" Phoebe smiled. "Penny. After Grams." Mike smiled. He had secretly known that would be her name. Maybe Phoebe's gift was rubbing off on him.

At the Loft:

Leo stood by the wall still waiting. He saw faint orbs start to appear. Suddenly Wyatt and the demon boy were standing right in front of him. Wyatt spotted his father. Leo held out his hand to his son and spoke firmly. "Wyatt. We're going home right now." Ben pulled Wyatt back. He looked at Leo with his glowing green eyes and showed no fear. "He doesn't want to go home." Wyatt tried to speak. He wanted to tell his father that Ben was controlling him, but the words caught in his throat. Ben pushed Wyatt behind him. "You can't have him. He belongs to me now." Leo lept forward trying to get past the demon boy and grab his son. The two boys orbed away just before he could reach Wyatt. "I hope Prue has a plan." Leo thought aloud. He orbed to the Mausoleum knowing that's where the boys were going.

In the Mausoleum:

Prue sensed Wyatt orbing to her location. She was ready. She knew that she could use her witch powers to separate the boys and then she could orb Wyatt away. She only hoped that the demon boy couldn't follow them home. She sensed Leo too. He could deal with the demon while she orbed Wyatt to safety.

The boys orbed in. Prue didn't give them a chance to see her. She lifted her hand and sent the demon boy flying across the room. He hit the wall and fell to the floor unconscious His hold on Wyatt was broken. Wyatt ran to his aunt with tears streaming down his face. "I couldn't get away from him. I'm so sorry I was bad Auntie Prue. I won't run away ever again." Prue hugged her nephew close. "It's ok Wyatt. You're safe now." Leo orbed in and motioned for Prue to take Wyatt home. Prue and Wyatt orbed out.

The demon boy woke up. He sat up and shook his head. He looked around. Not finding Wyatt, he became angry. He screamed an inhuman howling scream. Leo grabbed the boy by the arm. Ben turned to Leo with a steely gaze. He placed his hand on Leo's arm and suddenly his sleeve burst into flames. Leo let go of the boy and smothered the flames. When he looked up the boy was gone. Somehow Leo felt that this wasn't the end of Ben. But at least for now his son was safe. They could deal with the little demon later. Leo orbed home.

At the Manor:

Everyone had gathered in Phoebe and Mike's room to look at the new baby. Prue had orbed Wyatt in and Piper hadn't let the boy go yet. She kept kissing him and hugging him. Wyatt didn't mind. He'd missed his mother. He was impressed with his new cousin. She was cute as a button, although she made a lot of noise. Prue hugged everyone and retired to the attic. Paige soon followed. Piper and Wyatt kissed Phoebe and the baby one last time and went to their room. Leo followed with Little Chris. Both boys were ready for a good night's sleep. Phoebe and Mike were alone with their daughter at last. Mike placed Penny in her crib and returned to the bed beside his wife. They snuggled together and fell asleep.

In the attic, Prue and Paige scoured the Book of Shadows. There was no mention of what to do about the little demon boy. Prue had suggested they make a simple vanquishing potion. He wasn't that powerful after all. But Paige wasn't so quick to think of vanquishing. She was intrigued by the boy. She wanted to study him a little more. He wasn't a danger to Wyatt now that they were separated. The two discussed the situation long into the night.

The rest of the house had fallen asleep. All except Leo. He sat in Wyatt and Chris's room, watching his sons sleep. He heard the Elder's calling. He'd been down there too long. He kissed his two sons and orbed out.

The End.
