"Ben!" Phoebe was looking for Ben everywhere at the manor but couldn't find him.

"Wyatt!" She entered the kitchen, panic written all over her face.

"Wyatt, sweetie, please tell me you can sense him" Phoebe pleaded. Wyatt closed his eyes and tried his best to focus on his cousin.

"I'm sorry aunt Phoebe, I can't find him, he has to be in the Underworld. But don't worry, you know this isn't the first time he's there and I feel he's all right." Wyatt wanted to reassure his aunt.

"Of course he's alright, nothing would happened to my baby or would? No, no, he has to be fine, my poor baby. What am I going to do? I have to call Leo and Piper..." She was lost in her thoughts, mumbling and totally ignoring Cole and Wyatt.

"Phoebe? Phoebe!" Cole had to yell to attract her attention. When she finally turned to him, he looked deep in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I'll get him, he'll be safe" And with this he'd shimmered away, before Phoebe could object.

"I know it's not the right time to ask questions right now, but who was that man? He can shimmer, so isn't he a demon?" Wyatt asked wondering why would Phoebe let a demon in the manor and didn't vanquish him.

"I don't know what he's now. He used to be a half-demon, half-human, then he was only human, then the Source of All Evil, then we vanquished him, then he came back and was invincible, but created an alternate world where we vanquished him again and I've thought he's dead and today I found out he's not. And by the way his name is Cole Turner and he's Ben's father." Phoebe explained staring into the space, at nothing in particular, then she turned to Wyatt "Satisfied with the answer?" She went to the living room, leaving her very confused nephew behind her.

---------The Underworld---------

Ben was sitting in one of the empty caves, his wet cheeks indicated he had been crying. He was scared. Although he was part demon, he'd never liked Underworld. Everything was so unlovely and ugly, he didn't understand how could somebody choose to live there instead of a cozy house. But he was there, because no member of his family could track him there and take him home, he needed time to think.

"Here you are!" Ben heard a husky voice and froze in fear. He wished it was only a stupid low-level demon that could be handled easily, because even if he was very powerful, he still didn't have full control over his powers. He prepared a fireball in his hand and wanted to throw it at the demon when he realised it was Cole.

"Wow, you are only five and you are already able to conjure a fireball" Cole was amazed.

"What do you want? Go away!" Ben tried to sound cold, although he was glad it wasn't any demon, or at least demon who would hurt him.

"Sorry, I can't. I promised your mom I'd take you home"

"Then you were lying, I'm not going anywhere." Ben didn't want to go home, not at all with the man who repudiates his fatherhood. Cole didn't try to convince Ben. He knew that if Ben was at least half as stubborn as Phoebe, it would be only waste of time. And he'd already rejected the possibility of forcing Ben to go with him.

"So you're staying?" Ben nodded. "Then I think I should stay too, can I? You know, such a little boy as you are shouldn't be in such a place as the Underworld is, especially not all alone." Cole tried to rationalize.

"We live in a free country, you can do whatever you want." Ben mumbled without looking at Cole. Cole sat beside Ben and smiled proudly on his son.

It had passed half an hour since the last time one of them spoke and Cole decided it was the right time to broke the silence.

"Still don't want to go home?" He asked. Ben only shook his head. "Ok, but you know, I hate silence so maybe you could tell me something about you for example who was the blond boy, Wyatt, I think." Cole was really surprised when Ben started to talk without hesitation, but on the other side he was Phoebe's son and she rarely hadn't availed the opportunity to talk.

After another hour Cole knew a lot of new things about Halliwell's family, from Wyatt and Chris being Piper and Leo's sons to Paige moving to Richard's and marrying him. Ben told him a few stories about his and his cousin's troubles and they both laughed. If they weren't in the Underworld you could've said they were having a great time together.

Cole was finishing the story how he met Phoebe when Ben cut him off.

"Was I a bad boy?" He finally asked the question that had been bothering him since he left the manor.

"What? What makes you think something like that?" Cole was shocked Ben asked him such a question.

"I heard you..." A few tears ran down Ben's cheeks "I heard you when you told mom I'm not your son, I heard everything, you don't want me. And you don't want me because I was a bad boy." Cole's heart was breaking, he was mentally kicking his ass for upsetting his son so much.

"Ben... Ben look me in the eyes." Cole wiped Ben's cheeks with his thumb "Ben, I didn't mean a word I said your mom. I'm so sorry you heard it, I've never meant to upset you. Honestly, I was just shocked. I didn't know I have a son, I had to go away before your mom could tell me she was pregnant, so I've never found out... till today. Believe me, if I knew it I would've never left you. You sure aren't a bad boy, I think you're the best kid I've ever met. You should know that I'm very proud of you, I would never think I could have such a great son." Cole said softly and smiled at Ben.

"Really?" Ben asked shyly.

"Really." Cole nodded and tousled Ben's hair. Ben hesitated a while, but then hugged his dad. Cole held him tight and the tears of happiness were running down his cheeks.

"We should go home, your mom has to be scared to death, she hasn't known anything about you since you left." Cole broke the embrace.

"Ok, but could we have the ice cream first?" Ben suggested.

"What? I don't think your mom would like it if she knew you had an ice cream before dinner."

"She won't know about it, it will be our little secret" Ben begged.

"I don't know..." Ben knew he could convince Cole, so he looked at him with his best puppy eyes.

"Daddy please." And Cole really couldn't resist. He took Ben's hand and shimmered out of the cave.
