Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed and any of the characters

Thank you for all your reviews, guys, you made my day.

I didn't doubt you would find out who Nick's dad is, it is so obvious, but you know the Charmed Ones sometimes need the time to realize something, especially Phoebe...

Family reunion

"Piper, Paige! Anybody home?!" Phoebe yelled as she and Nick came back to the manor. Nick put the shopping bags on the floor and thanked God they were finally at home. He had forgotten how much his mum enjoy shopping, he felt like they were in the store for the whole eternity.

"Shhh, Wyatt is sleeping" Piper entered the foyer with Paige following her.

"What's going on, Phoebe, and who's this cute young man?" Paige asked looking at Nick. He stared at her as if she was lunatic and tried hard not to laugh. He gave her a graceful smile instead. Phoebe stood behind Nick and put her hands on his shoulders.

"Ladies, let me introduce you..." Suddenly blue and white orbs appeared and in a while Leo was standing in front of her.

"Hey..." He didn't have a chance to finish the sentence, in fact he didn't have a chance to start the sentence, because Nick cut him off. Leo's face irritated him too much, he got angry.

"You bastard!" Nick yelled while he telekinetically sent Leo through the foyer. Leo lent on the table and tried to stand up.

"What the hell..." An energy ball almost hit him.

"You don't know what the hell is..." Nick threw another energy ball at Leo "you have never been there..." another energy ball "but I have..." Leo flew again through the foyer "and all because of you!" Nick screamed with hatred in his eyes and kept throwing energy balls and beating Leo. Leo tried to orb but he'd never been fast enough.

"Piper freeze him!" Paige commanded. Piper did as Paige said, but it didn't work. Piper tried again, but instead of Nick she froze Leo so she had to unfreeze him quickly, because one of the energy balls was heading straight at him.

"Chris! Chris!" Phoebe called. She was scared of what her son was doing, she hoped Chris would stop him. In a while Chris orbed there.

"What?" He asked Phoebe little peevishly. Before she said something, he noticed Nick.

"Nick!" He ran to him and caught him causing Nick to lose his balance, so they both fell on the ground.

"Release me! Let me kill him!" Nick yelled struggling. Chris was holding him strongly, so Nick couldn't escape.

"Calm down, Nick! You can't kill him." Chris tried to soothe him. After a few minutes Nick became quiet. Chris released him and knelt to him.

"Are you OK?" Nick shook his head and a tear ran down his cheek.

"Why are you advocating him? He is a traitor. We trusted him and he betrayed us! He told Wyatt where our cover was. I saw a lot of people dying because of him. I saw my friends dying because of his betrayal. He deserves death." Nick cried. Chris looked him in the eyes.

"First, you can't kill him, because he's a Whitelighter... an Elder. Second, you know how hard it is for me to defend him and not only because his betrayal. But you have to realize that this Leo isn't that Elder-boy you know from the future. This Leo hasn't done anything yet. And third, you can't kill him, because I will need him" Nick rubbed his eyes and looked at Chris very confused.

"What? Why would you need him, you never needed him." Nick stared at Chris and waited for the answer.

"Well," Chris leaned to Nick and whispered so nobody else could hear what he said "I need to be conceived"

"Ooooh" Nick said understanding, but then he looked at Leo and burst out laughing.

"Hey, that's not funny!" Chris defended himself.

"I know, it's... disgusting, but I can't help myself." Nick said with tears in his eyes and Chris had to laugh too. When they finally calmed down Chris stood up.

"Now," he helped Nick on his feet "when you're in such a good mood, you should apologize to Leo." Nick was surprised, he glazed at Chris.

"What?!"

"You should apologize."

"No! You must be joking"

"I mean what I say" Chris looked serious and Nick knew he had to do it.

"OK" Nick turned to Leo "Sorry Elder-boy... but everything is your fault"

"That wasn't an excuse"

"Really?" Nick said wryly.

"Well... you will apologize later. Now... show me yourself" Chris looked at Nick and sized him up. He had had his hear cut. Instead of old clothes he was wearing new black tight T-shirt and dark blue jeans.

"Hmmm, you look really good."

"Thanks"

"Do you know that you closely resemble your dad?"

"Really?" Nick asked with joy and pride in his voice. Chris nodded.

"Now, when you're talking about your father... Who is he?" Phoebe interrupt them. They looked at her and then Chris turned again to Nick.

"You didn't tell her? I'm proud of you, man."

"Actually, I would have told her, but she didn't ask"

"Fine, but could you tell me now?" Phoebe asked impatiently. Nick turned to her.

"You know, I... I'm disappointed. You don't know who my father is!" He threw up his hands in disbelief.

"How am I supposed to know it? You haven't been born, not even conceive yet!"

"That's not good excuse! You should know that! You'd always told me I have his eyes and smile. And I can shimmer for God's sake! You love only one man with such amazing eyes, sweet smile and demonic powers, mom"

"Mom?!" Piper, Paige and Leo exclaimed in unison.

"Yeah, you remember I wanted to tell you something when Leo orbed in and... you know what happened then. So, this is my son, Nick. He's from the future, from Chris's time line. His dad sent him here to be safe and now, I want to know who his dad is." Phoebe explained the whole situation. They could only stare at her.

"It's obvious" Piper said after a while.

"What?" Everybody asked, again in unison.

"His father is Cole" They glazed at her.

"No, Piper, it can't be Cole, because he's DEAD." Phoebe said trying to convince herself about it.

"Why should he be dead? Because you vanquished him?" Nick said and Phoebe knew it was something she didn't want to hear "You know that it wasn't for the first time and believe me... neither for the last."

"So, your dad is Cole" Nick nodded.

"So, you're my nephew!" Piper came to him and hugged him, surprising everybody.

"Yeah, you're our nephew" Paige hugged him too.

"Yeah, I would be glad you're here and I would hugged you too, but you wanted to kill me!" Leo said.

"It was your fault." Nick defended himself. Leo wanted to respond but Piper gave him a 'shut up' look, so he stayed quiet.

"What do you say, guys about you going to the living room and me cooking the dinner?" Piper asked when she and Paige released Nick from their hug.

"Great idea, aunt Piper, I starve."

"Great, but before the dinner you have to tidy this mess you did, young man." They looked around the foyer, everything was destroyed by energy balls and 'landing' Leo.

"What?!... I mean, did I tell you, aunt Piper, you're my favourite aunt?" Nick hoped this could work.

"That's nice, but you still have to tidy it" Nick turned to Phoebe, she was his last chance.

"Don't look at me" That was the answer he didn't want to hear.

"OK" he gave up "Let the object of..."

"No, no, sweetie, without spells, you have to clean it up by yourself..." she looked at Leo who was grinning gleefully "but don't wory, your uncle Leo will help you" The beam dissapeared from Leo's face.

"Did I just hear my name?" He asked uncertainly.

"You're the reason he did it" She clapped him on the shoulder "Have fun, guys" The girls and Chris left.

"You know Elder-boy, everything is your fault." Nick said and began to char. And Leo followed him without a word.
