Ravenix – Yes to both of your questions! And Phoebe will gain back a power in the next chapter! Thanks for reviewing!

Phoebe turner – Thanks!

Chyp – Thank, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't boring anyone lol. Thanks!

Prince Halliwell – Thanks! You don't the patience? Well, after reading your latest chapter, I beg to differ ;) More about Phoebe's experience is reveal at the end of the chapter. And it's not just Grant, it'll probably become clearer in Chapter 30, that's when everything kicks off! And they didn't kill the grimlock that took his eyesight, so he hasn't got it back yet. Heh, Maxwell will probably be more important in the sequel. Zach and Jenna, huh? I think you're going to like this chapter.

Princess Pinky – Ha! You are the one for puns and plays on words after all! That seems to be the popular opinion; I usually have a lot to fit into one chapter, that's why they're so long! Yeah, I had to put some MX in! I'm glad you liked all the elemental stuff, Maxwell isn't really going to be a big thing in this fic, glad you liked his name! Thanks, to be honest, I had some writers block with that chapter. Heh… Pink sands forever!

Piperfairy – They didn't get the grimlock, but they will next chapter!

Loz – Thanks, and there's quite a lot of Connor stuff in this chapter!

Wyatt halliwell – Thanks!

Unique deflection – Thanks! And you're pretty close with the possession theory!

Aniaka – Heh, I usually finish chapters late at night and I'm too tired to proof read 10 pages, that's why so many of them have little mistakes that the spell checker didn't pick up! Most of your questions are answered in this chapter, including the marshmallow men one! And no! I would never turn Lorna evil what colour would her sanding be if I did? And I did check your fic, but I didn't review because I would have made an ass out of myself by complimenting something I know nothing about, but it was very well written! See? I told you that if your writing was half as good as your reviews you'd be successful!

Heart Over Head

"Face it Lockhart, we're lost," Jenna sighed as she looked up towards the hot sun, putting her arm on her forehead in an attempt to shield her eyes, as her sunglasses weren't enough.

"Would you stop saying that, please?" The telepath snapped, looking at the map that he had spread out in the hood of his car.

Jenna looked back at him, rolling her eyes behind her shades, "Why are you even looking at that? We're on a straight, desolate, dry road. I don't think you need to look for the nearest exit."

Zach looked up from the map and looked left and right. She was right. The heat was distorting their view of the empty road that seemed to go on forever, even the cacti on the side of the tarmac had given up in this heat, and they thrived in it!

"Wait a minute…" Jenna grinned to herself, jumping off the hood and standing in front of her car with her hands raised, "Stand back,"

Unsure of what the illusionist was trying to do, Zach sighed before folding up the map and taking a few paces back.

"If you insist on this road trip, we're going to travel in style and not in the tin can on wheels you call a car." She announced before gesturing at the rusty vehicle.

The entire car glowed bright white and a soft breeze picked up, which the overheated teens reveled in. The light grew and changed shape before it faded, leaving a sparkling brand new 4x4.

"Air conditioning, satellite navigation, automatic CD changer and massaging chairs. Damn, I'm good!" She smirked.

"Is that even real?" Zack raised a skeptical eyebrow at her, knowing Jenna's illusion power all too well.

She looked quite offended, "Have you just decided to forget about my other power? I shapeshifted your car! The least you could do is thank me!"

He gave his new car a wide eyed look, grinning when he realized the truth, "You mean this car is-,"

"Yes, I pimped your ride," Jenna rolled her eyes, "Now, hand over the keys. I'm driving," She held out her hand impatiently and tapped her foot.

"No way!"

"Look, you can't use the old keys in the new car and I'm not shapeshifting them until they're in my hand. Kepeesh?"

Zach sighed and threw the keys in Jenna's direction, cursing the fact that he hung around with headstrong women before getting in the passenger seat reluctantly. Jenna grinned as she sat down in front of the steering wheel, turning the keys in the ignition and starting the powerful engine.

"Hey! You didn't shapeshift the keys!" He protested.

"Didn't have to!" She said triumphantly, sticking her tongue out before slamming her foot down on the pedal and speeding off down the road.

"So, how do you know Phoebe's niece anyway?" Lexa questioned her blonde friend as they stood at the hospital desk with Riley; she leaned her arm on the surface and faced Cassy.

"Isn't it obvious? They're both nuts!" Riley chipped in, which got him a hard punch on in the stomach from his telekinetic teammate.

"Well, about five years ago I volunteered at a hospital," She began to explain, causing Lexa to smirk, "What?"

"Oh nothing, continue,"

"Well, I spent most of my time in the psyche ward, it was after my mind had been taken apart by Ivanov and I wanted to help people a like me,"

"Told you…" Riley hummed. Cassy whipped her head around.

"Hey, Yogi, don't make me get the bear trap out." She warned. The ursine feral's eyes flashed a midnight blue colour threateningly, Cassy stepped up too while Lexa just sighed. The two of them always rubbed each other up the wrong way.

"Anyway…" She shot a look at Riley before continuing, "Pamela was in there, she was around…. Thirteen I think. She was being treated for her schizophrenia but it was kinda hard since she'd subtly use her powers on every doctor that came at her and make them think they were crazy."

"Until you came along, right? Calmed her down?" Lexa raised an eyebrow.

Cassy laughed, "I wish! She tried to ice me so I pinned her to the wall with my powers and shoved those pills down her throat. Pretty much good friends after that, until she escaped one night. I never saw her again…"

"I'm sorry but we don't have a Pamela Walker registered here," The nurse at the desk said with a smile.

The telekinetic mutant let out a sigh and turned towards the door, but she suddenly stopped in her tracks and spun around, going back to the desk.

"What about… Janette Hartman?"

Aidan bowed his head as he let the shampoo in his hair be washed out by the water pounding on the base of his neck. He ran his hands over his face, enjoying the fact his morning shower usually bought him some clarity and some to think. Taking a cautious step backwards so he would directly under the showerhead, Aidan closed his eyes and let the warm water sooth his aching muscles.

A knock on the door interrupted his non-existent thoughts, "Aidan? You alright in there?" Paige's muffled voice shouted.

The elemental let out a frustrated sigh, "I'm fine, Paige!" He shouted back.

Paige had been doing this ever since offering Aidan a place to stay. She had been overly protective and slightly pushy when it came to certain things, like whenever he was left alone, she would check on him every fifteen minutes. When these sort of things happened, Aidan's mind screamed, "Tell her to knock it off!" but deep down, he knew that his ex was only trying to help and he was glad of the help adjusting to being blind.

If he had to be honest, he was finding it a lot easier than it had been in the first two weeks. After all, this was the first shower he had had without Paige standing outside the cubicle handing him shower gel and shampoo, not to mention handing in towels over the top. But today, she had just laid out everything on a small shelf in the cubicle and the towel has slung over the edge at the top in preparation. Although Paige probably wouldn't like to admit it, she had bought shower gel and shampoo that had very defining bottle shapes, making it easier for him to figure out which one was which.

Turning around with small baby steps, Aidan felt the wall for the knob that turned the shower off. A triumphant smile spread across his face when he did, turning it slowly to make sure it was the right one and not the one that controlled the water temperature. When the water was only a dribble, he pawed around the top of the cubicle and found the towel, which he proceeded to wrap around his waist before pushing at one of the glass sides, opening the door and walking out slowly onto the mat.

Aidan made sure the soles of his feet we're dry before walking out onto the tiled floor. He used one hand to hold the towel at his waist and the other to navigate his way through the bathroom. When Aidan reached the door, he knocked on the surface. That was Paige's signal to come and help him towards the bedroom.

Sure enough, the door was opened and he felt Paige take his wrist delicately, "Hey, I left you some clothes out on the bed."

"Uh… thanks, but I think I'm just going to go back to bed." He replied.

He could hear the hesitation in her voice as she spoke, "Okay…"

"I still feel guilty about taking the bed," Aidan changed the subject as Paige veered him out of the way of the sofa.

"Oh, don't worry about it! The couch has a fold out so I'm quite comfortable,"

"Wait," He halted, "When I came back, I had to sleep on that couch and you're telling me it was a fold out all along?"

Paige resumed their walking, "Well, I was hurt, and angry that you had just popped back into my life. I took my victories where I could find them! You having uncomfortable nights counted as a victory for me,"

"You're evil," Aidan replied with a grin.

"I know. Listen, Piper's organized some sort of barbeque thing for the family. She says it's so we can spend time with each other, but I think she just wants to take her mind off Pam's disappearance. I was going to go with the girls, you can come if you want or we can just stay here,"

"We won't be staying here. Go enjoy some time with your family; it'll be good for the girls to enjoy this nice day you described to me this morning. I'll stay; I'm just a burden to you like this anyway,"

"No you're not," Paige protested as they reached the bedroom door, "You may not be able to see it, but you can feel the sun on your face, hear your kids laughing and having fun, even have some good food! I hear Brennan's mean when it comes to barbeques,"

He smiled nervously, "Thanks, but I'm just gonna stay here. But go have a great time. Bring me back some food in a doggy bag,"

Aidan heard his ex sigh, "Alright… but the phone is on the nightstand, just press the top right button then the top left and it'll dial my cell number. I reprogrammed the damn thing,"

"Paige…"

"Aidan…" She said back in the same tone, "What would you rather have? Hundreds of servants looking after you at the castle or me helping you?"

He laughed slightly as he stepped into the bedroom, "I think you know the answer to that. I just hope that me being here isn't too…"

"Weird? Don't worry; I got over you a long time ago,"

The door closed shortly after that, leaving Aidan with a slight grin on his face before drying himself off.

"Hey!" Pamela shouted out the open door of the hospital room, "If the government's health program 'requires' me to stay here," She rolled her eyes after quoting the nurse, "Could you please, please, get me some food that doesn't make bile rise to my throat?"

"Well Miss, if you were to take the medication, maybe they would release you," Arc offered from his perch on top of a metal cupboard, shaking his angel and devil's wing simultaneously.

She whipped her head around to face the stone servant, "I haven't needed my meds in years. This is just a minor set back,"

The gargoyle flew silently and gracefully down from his perch to land on the bed, "Miss… Do you even remember how you made it to Manhattan?" She remained silent, "You may have ordered me to stay with you here, but it's my duty as your gargoyle to insure your safety. There's only so far you can take my trust before I inform your aunts of your location,"

She smiled as she paced the room, "Do that and I will go to a place where no one can find me,"

"I seriously doubt that, especially without your powers." He added quietly.

Pamela's eyes widened as she gave the gargoyle a look of murderous rage, "You didn't…" She growled.

"In your water last night. I'm sorry Miss, but you've been acting self destructive ever since you left home. I did it to insure your safety."

She advanced on him threateningly, "Arc, give me my powers or I'll-,"

"Even you can't break stone without your powers. And I used a potion to bind them, to reverse the process will take a spell, which neither of us can do," He casually scratched the back of his pointy ear lazily.

"Well, I should be glad you're not hallucinating talking gargoyles, but creating them? Hmm…"

Pamela looked up and grinned at the woman standing there, "Well it's about time."

"Well…" Cassy began as she strode into the room, "You're pretty hard to track down. It's good I remembered your alias name,"

"Good old Janette Hartman… She's been good to me over the years." Pamela looked at Arc, "See? I have plenty of contacts that can look after me; they don't feel the need to bind my powers,"

Arc rolled his eyes, "I did it for your own good Miss, you'll see,"

"Uh huh," She said skeptically, "Okay, fly out the window. We'll meet you in the alley," Pamela looked at her old friend, "You are getting me out, right?"

Cassy, nodded, "Yeah, I'm with some people that are waiting in the lobby. A cleverly worded cooperation spell will get you out of here… As long as you take the meds. Don't want marshmallow men on your tail now, do we?"

"Oh God… I didn't,"

"Yeah, you did."

"Did you tell them that that's only what I called the fat nurses in the hospital all those years ago?" The mutant shook her head with a smirk, "Cass!"

"You know the big white guy from Ghostbusters? The one with the sailor hat?" Pamela nodded, 'Yeah, I sorta told them that you see him when you hallucinate."

"Ugh… Bitch." The teen groaned as she got a bag out from the top of the cupboard before opening the window and gesturing to Arc. The gargoyle took off at an amazing speed; even if some had been looking at the window from the outside they wouldn't have seen him.

"Yeah, yeah. So what's your plan after I bust you out of here? Going back home?"

Pamela snorted out a laugh, "Yeah, right. How about slipping me into the new mutant underground, I hear that goes pretty far around the world."

Cassy's face fell, "What…? Pam, you can't. Lexa and Jesse have had calls from Brennan and Phoebe telling them to look out for you in every security tape, every safe house. They don't know that you know the mutant underground like the back of your hand, they think you're living in a dumpster somewhere and you just want to slip away as if they never existed?"

Pamela slammed her bag down on the bed, "Look, I tried the family thing! I stuck with it for two and a half years but I can't do it anymore, alright? I just can't!"

"Why? You have no idea how good you have it! How long are you going to hide behind the 'tortured childhood' routine? Because let me tell you, it's getting really old. What are you so afraid of? Loving the people that love you?" Cassy's eyes were welling up with tears of rage, "Who am I kidding? Your heart's harder than your little pet gargoyle out there."

The two of them stared heatedly at one another before the blonde mutant ran her hand through her hair, "I'll make you a deal, if you possess one of your family members and tell your family that you are never coming back, then I will put you into the mutant underground as soon as we get out of this hospital. But I doubt you can really do that…"

"Well, with my stone heart that shouldn't be too hard," She gave Cassy a forced grin, "I need my powers back,"

"I'll take care of that, we got a deal?"

Connor toddled around with his big cousin Chris as they played with Sandy. The infant let out a laugh when his aunt's dog caught the Frisbee that had been thrown by Leo, who had been put on kid watch as everyone else helped his wife get food out into the garden from the kitchen.

Phoebe had to suppress the enormous grin on her face as she watched her son play with his uncle and cousin. She had been having a lot of these moments recently, ones where she was just glad for Connor coming into her life. The one year old was wearing grey shorts that stopped just above his ankles; Phoebe had also donned him in a navy blue baseball cap and a "Fantastic Four" t-shirt. The middle Halliwell wanted her child to grow with the ideal that good beats evil, so needless to say, Connor owned a lot of superhero merchandise.

"I got buns!" Brennan announced as he brought out a plate of hamburger rolls.

Phoebe gave him a wide eyed look as he set down the plate on the outside table, "Beg your pardon?"

He pointed at the rolls, "Buns," Her husband explained with a smirk.

She let out a sigh, "Where's Piper?"

"Still getting stuff from the kitchen. Paige is upstairs trying to convince Emma to come down," Brennan explained before grinning at his son, who has walking towards his parents, "Hey, buddy!" He greeted, kneeling down and holding out his arms.

Connor gave Brennan cheeky smile and held out his arms in a similar fashion, "Da… Daddy!" He suddenly blurted out.

Phoebe dropped the bun she had been nibbling on and all colour drained from Brennan's face, Leo was so shocked that it took him a while to realize that Sandy was nudging him on the leg with the Frisbee. Connor had just said his first word.

Brennan suddenly let out a burst of laughter and jogged towards the toddler, picking him up his arms and spinning him around in the air, completely overjoyed. Phoebe couldn't keep the grin off her face, she joined the hug that her husband had Connor in and began to babble.

"Did you say Daddy? Do you know who Daddy is? That's your Daddy holding you!" She grinned as Brennan handed Connor to her, kissing her son the cheek and hugging him tightly.

"What's going on?" Piper asked as she brought out more food.

"Connor just said 'Daddy'!" Phoebe replied, ecstatic, but she fell silent when she saw Paige and Emma coming out of the back door with the twins and Lorna. Piper looked hesitantly between her two sisters, knowing that a father for their children was an issue for both her baby sister and her psionic roommate. Thankfully, a groan of pain from Leo broke the silence and shifted everyone's attention to him.

"What's wrong? Come sit here." Piper urged, walking towards her husband before his body glowed a hazy blue. When Leo looked up, his eyes were different, but familiar. "Leo?"

He smirked, "No… but he's in here somewhere,"

"Pam?" Emma's eyes widened, sensing the teen's presence.

Paige frowned before narrowing her eyes at her brother in law. She activated her multi dimensional sight and scanned him, seeing that there were two lights fighting for space within Leo's spiritual body on the astral plane.

"It is her…" The youngest Charmed One murmured.

Leo put up his hands and smiled, "Okay, you got me. I have to tell you all something,"

"What is it? Are you okay? When are coming home?" Piper laid a hand on her possessed husband's shoulder.

"…I'm not," He looked at everyone, "Look, I've enjoyed getting to know you all the past two years, but it's time for me to move on." Pamela/Leo bowed his head, "There's just…" He seemed on the verge of tears, "I'm sorry, I can't… Goodbye."

"No… You can't!" Piper shouted, grabbing Leo and shaking him violently, "I promised! I promised Prue! Pamela Walker, get your ass back here!" She screamed, but it was too late, a blue glow from Leo signified that Pamela had left his body.

Pamela gasped as she brought her chin away from her chest. Tears began to appear in her eyes as she awoke, knowing that she had probably already hurt her family. There was no turning back from the underground now. Willing her tears away, she faced an impatient Cassy who had her arms crossed.

"Did you do it?" She snapped.

"Yes." Pamela replied with a croaky voice, clearing her throat immediately.

Cassy let out a sigh, "Alright then, grab your bag and let's go meet that gargoyle of yours…" She said, clearly defeated.

But before either of them could make a move, small sparkles of light began to spiral around in a tornado like fashion. Cassy, apprehending magic in the air, quickly closed the door so that no one would see. Bickering voices could be heard in the lights as two people emerged.

"Stop chanting that spell! It won't work!" A familiar voice said.

"Why would Arc lie to us?" Another said.

It was Zach and Jenna.

Pamela's mind had lost control of her body. Her heart was now in control. Without saying a word, she bounded over the bed that was between her and her friends, and before Zach could even realize it, Pamela had jumped on him, wrapping her legs around his waist and kissing him passionately. It took the telepath a few seconds before he began to return the kiss, holding onto the base of his girlfriend's thighs to make sure he didn't drop her.

Pamela suddenly dropped from her boyfriend's hold and lunged at Jenna, hugging her and crying into her shoulder while the dark haired illusionist just reciprocated nervously, obviously not expecting such a welcome.

"How did you guys find me with a spell? I cast cloaking charms on myself."

"Yeah, but when Arc bound your powers, those charms wore off permanently, even when you got them back. He contacted us telepathically to tell us where we could find you." Jenna explained.

Pamela rolled her eyes as she turned to the window, seeing Arc on the ledge with a smile on his face. She raised her hand and pointed at him.

"You're getting remodeled to have hooves when we get home," She warned with a smile.

Cassy couldn't help but grin, "Does this mean you've rethought your decision?"

The teen looked at the mutant for a while before turning around drooping into Zach's arms.

"Take me home,"

Emma sat on a deckchair in the garden with Lorna in her arms. Thinking over everything that had happened to her ever since meeting Paige. That Christmas seemed like such a long time ago, her life had been changed so much by that one moment. The psionic changed the angle of how she was holding her daughter so that she was sitting on her lap. Emma gave Lorna a small smile before pulling her close and watching the sunset.

The memorial service had given the mutant witch some closure, but it didn't stop her from hurting, something told her that, on some level, she would never stop hurting, she would just learn to deal with it gradually until it didn't feel so consuming. Her thoughts were broken by Lorna reaching up touching her face, Emma blinked a few times before smiling at her three month old child.

"I'll always have you, won't I?" She smiled before rubbing noses with the infant, making both mother and daughter giggle with delight at one another.

Scuffing of boots caught Emma's attention as she turned towards where the driveway came up into the garden. Her jaw dropped when she saw Pamela standing there, twisting the strap of her bag nervously and pursing her lips.

"Is there still a room for a selfish brat with issues and a mental illness?" She smiled as she walked into the garden.

The psionic gave her a sympathetic look, "Go and ask your wreck of an aunt in there. You pushed her over the edge with your little possession trick earlier."

Pamela let out a sigh as she knelt down and grinned at Lorna, "Cute. Who's is she?"

"Mine." Emma said, beaming with pride.

"What?" She screeched in surprise, "Who would go and have a baby in the space of two weeks! What's Grant got to say about this?"

"PAM!" Piper bellowed, standing at the back door with her hands on her hips.

"It's alright Piper, she didn't know…"

Pamela frowned at the two of them, "Know what?"

Paige maneuvered the double stroller through the door of her dark apartment; she looked around to see if Aidan had managed to make it back before her. She had spent most of the evening trying to find him after he had stormed off at the store with Sandy; the witchlighter wheeled the stroller into the twin's room. Paige was about to orb out with them and take them to Magic School so she could continue looking for Aidan, until Sandy trotted into the room.

"Aidan?" She called out.

Sandy whined and trotted into the main bedroom, Paige followed her in to find Aidan sitting on the bed looking in the direction of the window.

"How did you get back here before me?" She asked, taking her jacket off and setting it down on the bed.

He swallowed and cleared his throat, "I told you, Sandy's a damn good guide dog."

"Oh…" She picked her cuticles slightly, "I'm sorry,"

Aidan let out a hollow laugh, "For what? Embarrassing both of us or making it out as if I'm so fragile I can't handle anything?"

"… Both," Paige replied meekly as she sat down in a chair next to the window, pulling it closer to the bed.

He sighed and shook his head, "I'm not a charity case, Paige. I can look after myself,"

"I know…"

"I mean, if that ass at the store was willing to take a twenty from me when I thought it was a ten, then let that be his thing to do. Karma will get him eventually; you didn't need to fly off handle like that."

"I know…"

"And I know that you were only trying to help, like you have done for the past two weeks, but in some situations, I can do things for myself. I don't need you all the time,"

"Okay…"

Aidan groaned and gripped to the bed sheet with his fists, "Would you just tell me what you think instead of agreeing and complying with everything?"

She stood up, "What do want me to say, Aidan? That I will happily step aside and let you look after yourself? That I don't care what happens to you? Well, I can't! Because that's not how a feel!"

Aidan stood up after her, "Then what do feel? Huh? Tell me!"

Paige walked closer to him, "You want to know why I'm holding on so tight? It's because I can't bear to lose you again! Why else to you think that I'm looking after you like this? I don't want you to walk out of my life again! Of your children's life!" She took a break as she began to cry, "I still love you…"

Aidan stood in front of her, blinking more than usual as he didn't know how to react, "I…"

"I have to… to go to bed," Paige wiped her eyes and began to walk out of the room.

"Paige…" Aidan called out, extending his arms and trying to feel around for her.

Trying to make his job easier, Paige sighed and moved back in front of him. She closed her eyes as his hand found her cheek. He held her face with both hands, brushing his thumbs across her cheeks to dry them from her tears. Leaning in slowly, Aidan found her lips and caught them in a soft kiss, one of his hands fell away from her face and kept a firm hold on her side as Paige ran her hands across his chiseled abdomen before linking her arms around his neck and pushing him gently towards the bed.

Phoebe stared at the clock on the table next to the sofa, it was just past two in the morning and Connor still seemed to be wide awake. She had been sitting with him for an hour and he had just contented himself with playing on the floor with his trains. The middle Charmed One yawned and grabbed the scrunchie on the sofa, putting her long hair into a ponytail before grinning at her son.

"You know, if Daddy catches us up at this time, he's going to get awful annoyed that he missed this," Connor smiled up at her and continued to play with his toys. Phoebe grinned back and got down on the floor, crawling across it and playing with a spare train. She looked up at her son's face and stroked the back of his head lovingly, "I'll never leave you, okay?" She got back up on her knees and picked Connor up, holding him close and kissing his forehead, "I love you sweetie,"

Creaking of the stairs made Phoebe turn her head to see Brennan walking down in a t-shirt and boxers, scratching the back of his head and yawning, "Hey…" He looked at them through bleary eyes, "What are you two doing up?"

Phoebe sighed and stood up with Connor, "Little man…" She ruffled his messy black hair, "Hasn't slept a wink and doesn't seem too bothered about it. I brought him down here to play and see if it made him tired."

"I can see that plan backfired." Brennan moved closer and put his arm around her hip, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, why?" She smiled at him, but her husband gave her a look that made her cave, "Alright…" She said reluctantly, "You know when we were trying to find the Fire Elemental, and I had to go onto that ship?"

"Yeah, what about it?" He moved a little closer, rubbing her back in a comforting manner.

"Something happened." She looked up at him then decided to keep eye contact with Connor instead, "This demon had me pinned, and was about to finish me. But then… I felt as if I was being… electrocuted. The next thing I know I'm standing up, the demon's dead and I've shorted out the ship's engine with lightning from my eyes,"

"What?" Brennan frowned at her, "Why didn't you tell me before now?"

"Because there's another part that I haven't wanted to admit to myself, let alone anyone else… When it happened, I felt this extremely powerful presence."

"You think you were possessed?"

She shook her head slightly, "It's more than that. It was as if I had a connection with whatever took me over, there were a lot of feelings floating around and I've only figured it out recently. The connection we had was Connor." Brennan remained silent, "I think… I think it wanted to take Connor away from us. Brennan, I… I would just stop breathing if we lost him, I can't handle that and I doubt you can either,"

The mutant let out a sigh and pulled his wife and son into a hug. He kissed Phoebe delicately on the lips then inhaled the scent of her hair as he hugged her, "I promise you, no one will ever take our son away from us. They would need to kill us before we that happen, and I mean really kill us, we could still kick ass as spirits."

Phoebe laughed slightly at his attempt to cheer her up, "But…"

"Phoebe, he has us, his big cousins, his aunts, not to mention Emma, Leo… None of them would let him be taken away from us." He reassured her.

If anyone were to look into the front of the Mulwray family's house at that moment, they would have seen a happy family that seemed to have life figured out, that they couldn't be happier. The three of them enjoying each other's company as Connor played with his trains was bliss for them, nothing could destroy it. Absolutely nothing.

But nothing was on its way.

Heh, I do love foreshadowing. Unfortunately for you lot, I'm keeping the secret of Phoebe's possession until the VERY LAST CHAPTER!

NEXT TIME: Pamela and Emma fight to the death when more of their pasts are revealed. Phoebe regains one of her powers while Brennan deals with the neighbour's daughter, who seems to have taken an interest in him. Katrina makes an assault on Piper and Leo while Paige endlessly searches the Underworld for the grimlock that took Aidan's sight, but her search only lands her in peril…

Chapter 29 will be up soon.
