Lucas' Worst Fears

Lucas Wolenczak sat in his father's office waiting room watching the people around him. Nobody had paid any attention to him since he arrived a hour ago from seaQuest. He could hear the distant arguing between his mother and father. Some things would never change. Neither of his parents wanted him around, and they were always arguing who would take him. But this time it would be different.

Lucas got up and told the secretary that he would be in the bathroom if anyone needed him. When he got there, he washed his face. Tonight he would do it. No more hearing complaining from his parents. Today would be his last day with them.

He went back to the waiting room.

"How much longer will it be?" He asked the secretary.

"I don't know." She told him without looking at him.

He sat back down. He went over the plan in his mind. Tonight he would go the Halliwell Manor. He knew the Halliwell sisters would take him in and protect him. At least that was what Prue Halliwell had told him after his brother's death.

Five Years Ago

Prue and 11-year-old Lucas was standing in front of a gravestone. Lucas was crying softly. Prue had her arm around him trying to comfort him.

"I promised your brother that I would take care of you if your parents didn't ever want you. But I have to tell you one thing. Demons and other horrible things are apart of what the Halliwells have to deal on a day to day basis." Prue promised.

At the time, Lucas had thought things would get better, but they never did.

End of Flashback

"Lucas, your parents are ready to see you now." The secretary interrupted his thoughts.

Lucas entered the room. His parents, Cynthia Holt and Lawrence Wolenczak, were waiting for him.

"We have decided that you are to stay on seaQuest until one of us needs you. Tomorrow you will go back to seaQuest." Lawrence told his son.

Lucas looked at his mother. Cindy wasn't even looking at her own son; she was too busy talking on her cell phone. Lucas nodded and left the room.

He didn't want to think about seaQuest now. It was an issue that he would deal with later.

Lucas then headed to Lawrence's house. He would pack like he was going to seaQuest, but really he was going to get ready to go the Halliwell Manor.

The Next Day

Piper Halliwell listened to her two sisters, Paige Halliwell and Phoebe Halliwell, fight. They were going to stay a couple of days. Richard Montana was visiting his mother and Jason Dean was going to some South American country to set up the media there. Today she wasn't going to get in the middle of it. She stirred her coffee. She had a list of things to do for her club, P3. It would be crowded tonight, because Evanescence would be playing.

Leo, her white lighter husband, orbed in.

"Good morning sweetheart." Leo said kissing her.

"Not now. I've got to get to P3. There are a million things to get ready and I don't think there are enough hours in the day to do it all." Piper told him.

"You'll get it all done." Leo told her. "What's Paige and Phoebe arguing about?"

Piper headed to her club. As she drove she couldn't help, but think of Andy Tuner. Today was the anniversary of his death. He was such a good friend of the Halliwells. Even Grams considered him family. He was Prue, Phoebe and her childhood friend. It wasn't until a couple of months before his death that he knew they were witches. Piper was certain that Prue and Andy would have gotten married. They were almost meant to be together, but Piper was wrong. Now Andy and Prue were both dead. It seemed that the Charmed Ones were taking their destiny in their own hands now.

The only one beside Andy that Piper knew quite well was Andy's little brother, Lucas. Lucas would always tag along with Andy. He was about thirteen years younger than Andy and he was extremely smart. Lucas had gone to Stanford at the age of fourteen. The last time Piper had seen Lucas was at Prue's funeral. She had heard that Lucas had gone to live on some submarine called seaQuest. Piper couldn't believe how the Wolenczaks had gone so right on one kid and so wrong on another.

Piper reached her club. Maybe Lucas was with his family right now enjoying them. At least that was what Piper hoped.

Lucas stood in front of the Halliwell Manor. It looked almost the same as the last time he was here. The door and the attic looked different, but he thought it was the sun and the angle he was looking at it.

He excitedly knocked at the door. A few minutes later, a woman with bright blond hair opened the door.

"Hello," she said.

"Is this the Halliwell Manor?" Lucas asked suddenly unsure of himself. The Halliwell sisters could have moved. The last time he had seen them was at Prue's funeral, which was over three years ago.

"Yea, who are you looking for?" The blond head said.

"I'm a friend of the Halliwell sisters." Lucas told her.

"Which one?" She asked.

"Piper and Phoebe." Lucas answered. "I'm Andy's little brother."

The moment Paige heard Andy's name, she knew that Piper or Phoebe would have to deal with him.

"Come on in. Phoebe and Piper aren't here at the moment, but I'll call them." Paige told him.

Paige led him to the observatory and took his name. Then she called Piper.

"Some teenage guy is here to see you." Paige told Piper.

"What's his name?" Piper asked.

"Lucas Wolenczak and he's Andy's little brother."

"I'll be right over."

Piper stepped into the living room. Lucas and Paige were sitting on the couch talking. Piper couldn't help, but notice that Paige seemed to enjoy talking to the teenager. She sometimes thought that Paige would make a great high school teacher.

Lucas finally looked up and saw Piper standing there watching them.

"Hi Piper." Lucas said smiling. "You got a new couch."

"Demons keep blowing them up." Piper answered hugging him. It felt so good to see one another after all of these years.

"How do you know about demons? Wait a minute. What kind of magical creature are you?" Paige said.

Piper and Lucas laughed.

"Andy found out about demons and he accidentally told me." Lucas answered. He couldn't help, but feel relaxed. Everything he had been feeling had temporarily gone away.

"I have had heard so little about him. All I know about him was that he was Prue's true love and that he knew that we were witches." Paige said.

Lucas felt a little hurt. He had thought that Andy would never be forgotten by the Halliwells. His parents had already forgotten about Andy. They acted as if he never existed. Not that his mother ever acknowledged Andy was part of the family. Andy was Lawrence's child not hers. Lawrence had Andy when he was a teenager and Andy had taken his mother's last name. Thirteen years later Lawrence married Cynthia Holt and Lucas was born. Andy had immediately taken to Lucas. No matter what Lucas had done Andy was there for him.

"It still hurts to talk about him. Every time his name comes up Prue pops into my mind." Piper tried to explain.

Piper and Phoebe had taken Prue's death extremely hard. Even now Lucas could see the pain in Piper's eyes. Too bad Paige would never get to know her.

"That is actually why I'm here. Prue made me a promise after Andy died. She promised that I could come here if my parents didn't want me. Well…" Lucas hesitated, "they don't."

Piper was stunned. She couldn't believe that the Wolenczaks did not want Lucas. Her own mother had died when she was a little girl and her father hadn't quite abandoned her. He visited every so often. On the other hand Paige could believe it. She had worked in a social work office. Too many times she saw parents hurting their kids. She had even used magic to try to save one.

"I thought you were living on a submarine." Piper said finally breaking the silence.

"I was, but I want to leave there." Lucas said looking at the couch closely.

"Are the people there not treating you right?" Piper asked.

"I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT." Lucas yelled.

Piper was speechless. Lucas never yelled.

"You can have Phoebe's room." Paige said trying to get Lucas calm down. "Phoebe called earlier and said that she was going with Jason."

Piper's son, Wyatt, chose that moment to orb in.

"Cool. I so want to be a witch or white lighter. I could orb anywhere." Lucas said.

"Wyatt this is Lucas." Piper said picking Wyatt up. "Do you want to hold him?"

"I've never held a baby before." Lucas said looking very unsure.

"There is really nothing to it." Piper told Lucas as she handed Wyatt to him. Wyatt gave him a big smile and Lucas smiled back.

"He's kind of cute." Lucas said. Piper and Paige smiled.

"Since you are a part of the family, I was wondering if you would like to be Chris' godfather." Piper said.

"Who's Chris?" Lucas asked not taking his eyes off Wyatt. He was afraid that Wyatt might orb away.

"Wyatt's little brother." Piper answered.

"You're pregnant again! You and Leo are popping out kids." Lucas said.

"You didn't answer my statement." Piper said.

"Be part of the godparents' club. I'm Wyatt's godmother and I get special privileges." Paige teased him.

"Sure, but I doubt that I would make a very good godparent." Lucas agreed.

Paige and Piper noticed the lack of self-confidence.

"You could teach him a lot of stuff." Paige told him.

"Like hacking." Lucas joked. Piper shook her head. Paige just smiled.

"We better get you settled." Piper said.

Even though Piper was not completely sure about Lucas staying with them she wasn't about to abandon him when he quite obviously wanted their help. Besides, the pain that she saw in Lucas' eyes was too much for her to deny.

Meanwhile on seaQuest

Capt. Nathan Bridger was waiting for Lucas on the shuttle to take them back to SeaQuest. Everyone else besides Lucas had arrived from the shore leave. Lucas was also an hour late and Capt. Bridger was getting worried. He turned on his PALS.

"Lt. O'Neill, has Lucas called yet?" Capt. Bridger asked.

"Not yet," Lt. Tim O'Neill replied.

"Where the hell is he?" Capt. Bridger fumed.

More to come. I have already decided what is going to happen, so updates should come soon.

Once again please review.
