Paige shifted in her sleep, she felt Glenn wake up hours ago, & wondered how she could fix this. The fact that Glenn was so intent on helping them fight evil scared her. Not only because she loved him so much, but also because the fact that she was pregnant and didn't want her child to grow up an orphan like she had. True she was adopted and she did have wonderful parents, but what if she was never given up? How would her life have been different? And she always counted on the fact that if something happened to her in the "line of vanquish" that Glenn would be there for their baby. But could that happen now? In the beginning Paige had a hard time adjusting to her new family and powers; at first she denied the fact that she was a witch. But her pull toward Piper & Phoebe was too strong. She had loved them even before she accepted them as sisters. As much as Shane/The Source tried to persuade her against it, she was indeed a Halliwell. But even after all these years of fighting evil and learning so much about the craft... Why was magic still interfering in their personal lives? No matter how hard they tried to keep it separate it always seemed to intervene. Was this Phoebe's fault? , Paige thought to herself. No, this was something that had been on Glens' mind for sometime now. Paige knew the strong man that Glenn was, and knew that he was not going to forget this matter so quickly. Paige continued with her thoughts as she heard a scream on the floor below.
DOWNSTAIRS CONSERVATORY"You son of bitch!" Piper shouted as she ducked the energy ball that the demon threw at her. She dived behind the white wicker couch and the energy ball had barely missed her. Piper was growing tired of demons attacking at all hours of the day and was thankful that Wyatt was "up there". She laughed , and thought that this demon should also be thankful for that fact. "PHOEBE, PAIGE!" Piper shouted as she stood up from her hiding place an attempted to freeze the demon. The demon did freeze but worked his way through her power. "You're powers are impressive but I am not the average demon", the dark hair man said as his hand started to glow with another ball of blue energy. Piper tried reversing time but this power also had no effect.
UPSTAIRS MANOR –Phoebe's BedroomWhat the hell! Phoebe said as she heard the sound of an explosion downstairs. She arose from her bed and bolted toward the already open door. As she approached the threshold, Paige orbed in front of her. "Piper is in trouble," Paige said as she blocked Phoebe's attempt for an exit. "Damn Paige! You have to stop doing that Phoebe said as Paige grabbed a hold of her arm and the two disappeared in shinny blue orbs.
DOWNSTAIRS CONSERVATORYTake that, you bastard! Piper said as she aimed her exploding power that the demons "energy-balled" hand. The demon screamed out in agony when he felt the sharp pain from his appendage being blown off.
That's what you get when you attack before I've had my coffee! Piper said knowing that now she had the upper hand. You bitch! The demon said as blood dripped from his hand onto to the tiled floor. Paige & Phoebe orbed in behind the demon. Paige waved her arm and sent the demon flying into a cabinet chest that was in the Conservatory. "Piper, are you alright?" Paige said she surveyed the situation. 'Yes, I'm fine! But can we do something about him?' Piper said as she pointed to the demon who was already to his knees but still disoriented from the crash. "I thought you'd never ask", Phoebe said. Piper walked over to her sisters and grabbed each of their hands. Once they made physical contact with each other, the 3 sisters could instantly sense the spell forming in each other's heads. Reading each other's minds was not new to the sisters. They had first experienced it when the Crone stole their senses. At the time Leo had informed them that this had always been a power they'd shared and was a reason why the Charmed Ones where so strong. Over the years this empathic link had grown to never-ending heights. The link was strongest when the three sisters were in physical contact with one another. They had joked in the past that it saved the need for them having write down spells. The sister began to recite the spell in unison "SISTERS WE WITCHES THREE, WE CALL UPON POWER FROM THE HALLIWELL TREE, THIS DEMON HERE IN OUR MIST, WE WISH TO NO LONGER EXIST". The demon let out an excruciating scream as he erupted in flames and disintegrated. Now that was a vanquish! Phoebe said excitedly as she levitated in air.
AFTERNOON MANOR KITCHENPiper and Paige were in the kitchen. Piper was at the counter mixing a potion. And Paige was on the other side of her thumbing through the Book of Shadows. Do you think it would be wise to cast a spell on Glenn? Paige said. What for? Piper replied as she continued to add the ingredients to the potion. Looking up from the Book Paige said sarcastically, "Piper have you forgotten already? Glenn is at Martial Arts School at this very moment so that he can turn the Power of Three into the Power of Four". Piper took the pan from the stove, ' don't you think you are overreacting just a tad Paige?' "No, and I can't believe you are so calm about this after all the lost we've experienced over the years". 'Paige, Glenn will be fine. He hasn't gotten hurt since he's lived here and I don't think that he will. If he gets in the way all you have to do is orb him to another room, or better yet I will freeze him'. "Whatever!" Paige said knowing all too well that Glenn was going to be more than just a handful. 'Well Paige what type of spell were you thinking about casting on him?' I was thinking about using a memory-erasing spell to make him forget about fighting demons. No Paige! I don't think that is wise, I remember the spell you cast on me made me forget EVERYTHING! Piper said as she began to fill the potion contents into small vials with a turkey bestir. "I just don't know what else to do Piper!" Paige said as she closed the Book defeated.
'Paige with all the witches in the house we will figure something out, don't worry!' Piper said and walked over a to hug Paige knowing that a pregnancy outburst was soon to occur. Paige began to sob, "I sure hope so! I don't know what I would do if anything happened to Glenn on my account". Piper continued to comfort her emotional sister and she heard a car pulling up in the driveway. She recognized this car as being Glenn's. "Paige, get it together! That's Glenn outside!". She quickly handed Paige a Kleenex. 'Fair enough', Paige said she wiped the tears away and proceeded to act busy.
OUTSIDE MANOR DRIVEWAYGlenn pulled into the driveway and was pumped. He had just completed his first day of Martial Arts class and felt that he had learned a lot. He was very anxious to test out his newfound skill. He thought about how he was tired of sitting around helpless as his pregnant wife and sisters were constantly under attack. Not only was this scary to him, it made him feel less of a man. He knew that he didn't have any real powers, but at least he could lend a hand to an already volatile living situation. As he exited the car he knew that Paige would not be happy about this. She had stressed that she didn't want him getting involved in the magic side of her life. She also told him many times that if something happened to him on the account of her magic, that she didn't think that she could recover from that. Even though Glenn was very conscience of that fact he was also tired of being treated like a kid. And more importantly he was tired of seeing his pregnant wife hurled into walls by demons and being powerless to do anything about it. He had seen this many times and wondered what damage had been already done to their unborn child. As he approached the back door he heard a loud bang coming from the house. The adrenaline & fear began fill his body. He didn't know what was behind that door. But he told himself it was now or never. He picked up his pace and decided that he would kick open the door instead of opening it to surprise anyone or anything that was in there. He remembered what his teacher taught him in class about going on the offensive. As he reached the door he stopped and took a deep breath. He kicked opened the door and was shocked to see Paige and Piper carrying on as they normally do. Paige was looking through "The Book" and Piper was standing over a boiling pot, which Glenn determined to be a potion and the cause of the noise that he heard. What the hell! Piper said as she surveyed Glenn. Glenn was sweating and had the look of intense fear on his face. What's wrong sweetie? You look as if you've seen a ghost, Paige said concerned. Glenn didn't know what to think, all he knew was that he had to protect his family at all costs. He tried to keep his composure but it was becoming more difficult to maintain. Glenn honey, are you okay? Paige said more concerned now. Glenn held it together. He walked over to Paige and kissed her on the lips. 'I'm fine' he said, knowing that was a lie. I thought I heard you . 'You thought you heard what Glenn?' Paige interrupted. "Nothing, don't worry about it!" Glenn said as he walked over to Piper and kissed her on the check. 'I need to get in the shower, I'm beat!' Glenn said and proceeded upstairs. "What the hell was that about?" Piper said concerned. "I have an idea", Paige said as she waved her arm at the door, which closed instantly. She then used her power to engage the lock. "I think that Glenn heard the explosion and lost control! You saw the look on his face Piper. He thought that a demon was in here". Paige looked at Piper and the look on her faced was enough to let Piper know that they indeed had a problem. "Do you really think that he would go bonkers like that over an explosion? I mean he has heard that sound a thousand times?" Piper said reassuringly. "Piper who knows how this life has started to affect Glenn. I think that either I cast a spell on Glenn or we are going to be sorry one way or the other" Paige said as she "called" for the book. The book orbed to into her hands. 'Okay Paige, but just make sure you word it properly. We don't want any side effects!' "Noted!" Paige said as she began to search for something in the book that could help her husband.
NIGHT-TIME BAY MIRRORPhoebe had been in the office all day. She stared at the never-ending pile of letters scattered over her desk. She had read all of them and it occurred to her that most of them were not just about love, but lost loves. These letters made her think of Cole. She started to reflect on how she acted very hastily giving up on him. She remembered the love she had for him always kept Cole's' urges of doing bad things at bay. She also remembered that when he tried to come to them for support she was so consumed in her feelings and heartbreak that she ignored all his signs for help. I totally jumped the gun! Phoebe thought to herself. She realized she declared him evil before giving him a chance and she knew that is what set him off on his rampage. Phoebe regretted this decision very much. She knew now that Cole was not evil; he just let the evil inside consume him. Phoebe knew that this was because of her rejection. She also realized she still loved Cole very much. All that aside, Phoebe could never forget how he manipulated her when he turned evil. When she cast the spell to see her hearts desire, her past and future self appeared. She had given him every opportunity to confess if anything was wrong with him because she sensed very much that something was. But Cole who was possessed by The Source chose to deny everything and Phoebe resented that. She also resented the fact that he and the Seer manipulated her into becoming pregnant with the Sources' evil spawn. She tried her best to forget everything that happened in that era of her life. Becoming evil was the one thing that she always feared because she was evil in her past life. When Phoebe went to the year 1924, her cousins who were Prue and Piper cast a spell to make sure that she would never turn evil in any of her future lives. Even still Phoebe always knew that there was always a possibility that she could be swayed either way. She always knew that deep down she still had an evil trait inside her. Cole made the fear of becoming evil a reality. Not only did he do it to her once, he tried a second time. But that was "Evil Cole", & she knew that there was a very different side to him. She knew there was a side to him that she loved. Phoebe wanted very much to be with him again. She hated him for years for what he did to her. But considered that water under the bridge. She knew that even though he was long vanquished that his ½ human lineage would give him the ability to hang-on in Limbo. Phoebe was now at a crossroad. Thoughts began to consume her mind, Thoughts that she did not like having, but could not help. Phoebe took a notebook from her desk drawer and began to write. She didn't know if she was crazy for taking the risk, but this was a risk that she had to take. The words written by Phoebe formed into the beginnings of a spell for resurrecting Cole.
