Chapter 11 - Belthazor's heir

After spending three weeks at Hawaii, Phoebe and Cole got back to the Manor. When they entered, they didn't see anybody in there...

"Piper?" Phoebe yelled. "Prue? Paige? Anybody?"

"Here we are." Phoebe's sisters ran in the room and looked around. "Was there another one? Which one is it? Prue says it's Cryto, but I'm pretty sure it's Bacarra." than she stopped babbling and turned around. "Well?" she asked.

Cole and Phoebe just stared at Piper, not realizing what's going on. "What are you talking about?" Phoebe asked. "We already vanquished Cryto and who the hell is Bacarra?"

"You don't know?" Piper looked at her, and then turned around to look at Prue and Paige. "She doesn't know!" she said.

"I don't know what?" Phoebe asked. "What is going on here?"

"Well, the little mix of the worlds started attacking us." Piper said. "We've vanquished 21 demons in three weeks, and that would be... one demon daily. Pretty cool, ha?" she smiled, and than she looked at her list "We vanquished Javnah, Abraxas, Jeremy, Shapeshifters, Rodrigues, Tempus, Darklighters, Zile, Dark Priest, Devlin, Eames, that Kitty demon, Alchemist, a Fury, Four horsemen of Apocalypse..."

"Okay, STOP!" Phoebe yelled. "It's okay, I get it. So, no demon attacked today?"

"No, but you better be very careful." Prue said. "The Elders gathered all whitelighters up there to try finding a way of stopping this, otherwise every demon that was vanquished ever since 1500's will attack us."

"So, that means..." Phoebe looked panickly.

"That means that if we get hurt, Leo can't heal us. We must go to the hospital." Piper said. "Oh, and if Shax attacks, let Prue handle it."

Phoebe raised her eyebrows at Prue. "Well, I always wanted to revenge my death." Prue said and smiled.

"As you wish." Phoebe said. Well, I'll need a help with these." she pointed at hers and Cole's suitcases.

"Don't bother." Paige said and orbed the suitcases to Phoebe's room. Phoebe looked at her "There's no personal gain now." she explained. "I mean, there is, but the Elders don't give a f... Well, they don't see what we do right now. They think we can vanquish the demons with ease. They have to worry about the bigger picture right now."

"Okay, I get it." Phoebe said. "So, we're waiting for the demon to attack today?"

"Yes." Piper said. "Why don't we go to the living room, so we can talk there? I'm looking forward to hear how it was on Hawaii." she smiled.

They all went to the living room. Phoebe, however, remained in the hall. She was sure that some demon was in there, but she wasn't really sure where. "C'mon, demon." she said. "Where are you? Let's not play hide-and-seek, okay?"

She wanted to call her sisters, but before she could turn around, a demon appeared behind her and plunged the knife through Phoebe's stomach. Phoebe screamed painfully.

"You don't seem very strong, after all." the demon whispered. "You're just a miserable witch, just like every other. I really don't see anything that makes you special. But, unfortunately, Belthazor did. And, you'll pay for that."

"PHOEBE?" Everybody ran into the room. "OH, MY GOD!" Piper screamed when she saw that the demon stamped Phoebe. "Let her go!" she yelled and tried to blow him up, but it didn't work.

The demon laughed. "Oh, please, witch. Do you really think that you can blow me up?" he asked. In that moment, Cole shimmered in the room and saw that demon. "Raynor..." he whispered."Let her go!" he yelled painfully, when she saw his old mentor holding Phoebe, who was bleeding unconscious in her arms.

"I'm glad to meet you, again, Belthazor." Raynor smiled. "And your witch, too. I see you didn't stay evil, did you? My sacrifice didn't worth much, did it? Well, this time I'll make sure that her sacrifice works." she shimmered away with Phoebe.

././.>

"We never vanquished that demon!" Piper screamed. "Who is he?" she asked Cole.

"Raynor is... Well, he was my mentor while I was a demon. He is the leader of the Brotherhood. He tried to turn me evil, remember?" he asked.

"Tried?" Prue looked at Cole in disbelief, crying meanwhile. "He did turn you evil. If Phoebe didn't use that potion on you, you would still be evil."

"So, what does this guy want?" Piper screamed, the tears streaming down her face. "He wants to turn you evil? Is that his higher goal? Why? What does he get out of that? And what the hell does he need Phoebe for?"

"Calm down." Cole said. "Raynor won't kill Phoebe. He needs her for something, I just don't know what."

"He said 'I'll make sure that her sacrifice works'!" Piper screamed. "Doesn't that say enough? HE'LL KILL HER!"

"CALM DOWN!" Cole yelled. "He will not kill her, Piper. In demonic world, sacrifice doesn't necessarily mean death. Reynor needs Phoebe, and it's up to us to figure out for what."

"What do you need me for?" Phoebe whispered weakly, when she realized she is in the underworld, along with the demon who kidnapped you.

"I want Belthazor evil." Raynor simply said. "And I'll never manage to do that, if his son gets born surrounded with goodness. His son has to be his heir. Not Cole's heir, but Belthazor's heir."

"His... son?" Phoebe asked. "I'm pregnant?"

"Oh, how stupid can one witch possibly be?" Raynor asked, surrounding Phoebe with candles. Then she found out that she was tied up. "I found out that you are pregnant before you did. Belthazor got you knocked up on your firs wedding night, the whole underworld knows that."

"Why should they be interested in that?" Phoebe asked, suddenly feeling stronger.

"Are you kidding me?" Raynor turned around to her. "We lost the last underworld Belthazor, bet now, there's an heir. And though your beloved isn't Belthazor anymore, he still has Belthazor's blood, so his son will be Belthazor."

"And what do you want to do with me?" Phoebe asked.

"With you? Nothing. The thing I wanna do considers your child. I will turn it evil with one simple ritual. You watch."

"And what if it protects itself?" Phoebe asked. "Either way, Cole won't let you do that. Try it and you'll fall into an abyss."

"I fell there a long time ago. And I will try it. Nobody can stop me." he said and than started saying a spell on Latin.

"Well, just in case you didn't know" Phoebe said. "Abyssus abyssum invocat (this is the Latin proverb, it means that one abyss always provokes another one)." she suddenly felt the great power inside of her, and when she looked down the ropes, which Raynor used to tie her, they disappeared, they vanished. She got up and kicked Raynor, while he was turned around.

Raynor threw an energy ball at Phoebe, but the force field appeared in front of her and the energy ball disappeared when touched it. He than conjured up an athame, but Phoebe smiled and used telekinesis to make it fly to her.

"Just remember - abyssus abyssum invocat." she repeated. "Have a nice time in hell." she threw a fire ball at him, and Raynor fell on his knees as it hit him, screamed and disappeared in flames.

"Okay, now, how to shimmer?" Phoebe said to herself. "Hey, baby." she rubbed her belly. "I need some help here. I need to get you home to daddy, but I don't know how to do it."

Just like the baby heard her, Phoebe shimmered away and shimmered back into the Manor. "Cool!" Phoebe yelled, not noticing that everyone looks at her. "Hi, guys!" she yelled happily.

"Phoebe, did you jus shimmer?" Cole looked at his wife carefully.

"Well, it wasn't really me who shimmered." Phoebe said. "Long story. C'mon, let's go to the living room, I'll explain everything there."

Everyone went to the living room without a word. Phoebe could tell that they were all dying to know what happened.

"Where is that guy?" Piper asked. "Raynor, or whatever he is called."

"Oh, so that was his name?" Phoebe asked. "I killed him."

"That's impossible." Cole said. "No witch can kill Raynor, Phoebe."

"Maybe not, but the half witch-half demon can." she said and everyone stared at her. "I killed him with a fire ball." she added.

"Phoebe, are you sure you're alright?" Piper looked at her sister worriedly. "I mean... Honey, you are not half witch-half demon. You're just a witch. And you can't throw fire balls. But, what worried me the most is that smile on your face. What's up?"

"Well..." Phoebe stood up from the chair and walked over to Cole. "Honey... You're going to become a father in about eight months." she said.

"I'm... what?" Cole asked, and than realized. "You're PREGNANT?" he yelled happily. Phoebe nodded. He jumped from the couch and hugged Phoebe as strong as he could.

Prue, Piper and Paige also jumped and ran to hug their sister. "Oh, I'm so happy for you, Pheebs!" Piper yelled. "I always wanted to be an aunt."

"And I always wanted to see you with your kids." Prue said to Phoebe. "You were born to be a mother. I realized that when we had to babysit Mathew. Do you remember him?" she asked.

"Oh, yes I do." Phoebe said. "But now, I'm going to have a baby on my own."

"I can't wait to tell Grams!" Paige yelled happily.

"She's going to have a nervous breakdown. It's a boy again. Raynor knew it. He actually wanted to turn him evil. Stupid idiot." Phoebe smiled.

"If your grandma gets a nervous breakdown, can you imagine Jason's reaction?" Cole laughed. They all laughed, too. "Come here." he said and raised her up. "Excuse me, ladies, but me and my wife have some private things to do, so I'm taking her to our room." Cole said to Prue, Piper and Paige and took Phoebe away.

././.>

Cole got Phoebe to their room and he put her on the bed and unbuttoned her shirt. He gently kissed her lips, and than her neck. But than, he stopped kissing her and looked at her stomach. "Hi, baby." Cole said to her stomach. "I'm your daddy, and I love you very much. I love your mommy, too. I would die for you two."

Phoebe just laughed. "Cole, stop." she said. "The baby can't hear you."

"Don't be so sure about that." Cole said. "How are you?" he asked Phoebe.

"Me? Fine." Phoebe replied. "Why?"

"Well, you're pregnant now." Cole said, and Phoebe rolled her eyes. "For how long are you pregnant? Did Raynor tell you?"

"Yes." Phoebe said. "He said that I got knocked up on our first wedding night. Now when I think about it, I think I felt the moment I got pregnant. I knew it somewhere deep inside."

"That's why you were feeling ditzy and sick these last couple of days." Cole said. "I though it was because you should eat more. I never thought that..."

"I know, Cole. I know. Me neither." Phoebe said. She looked in his eyes.

"God, Phoebe, I love you so much." Cole kissed her lips gently. "And I want you, too."

"Well, than come and get me." Phoebe said. Cole pulled her into a passionate kiss, and she kissed him back. She took off his shirt and then he grabbed her hands, kissing her slowly...

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Well, this happiness won't last long. Cole's son (according to Raynor) will be in great danger when Jason finds out about their baby. And Nina hasn't done her part yet, either. Just review, please! Please!
