A/N: Well, thanks to the both of you that reviewed. I'm thinking about ending this story and doing a sequel called Teen Troubles… would you all read it? I hope so…..
Fanmania: Yeah, I was more than happy to bring Cole back….. I like Cole more than Jason anyway… I do hope this chapter is not sucky either….
ColePhoebe4eva: Yes… little Pate is too adorable…. I am glad that Cole is back… if this chapter goes the way I want it to, he'll kind of feel guilty……
Chapter Sixteen: Missing and Some Added Help
"Mommy! We're tired!" all three girls cried at once. Since Cole had arrived, everyone had stayed up talking.
"Okay," Piper said, standing up. "It is pretty late," she replied looking at the clock. It was about 11:30 at night. All three toddlers stood, Patience and Little Prue taking Piper's hands. Phaith took Patience's hand in hers as they walked up the stairs. "I'll be back," Piper called. Leo headed up behind her with Wyatt and Chris trailing behind him.
Phoebe sat with her head on Cole's shoulder in the conservatory while Paige and Kyle sat on the wicker loveseat across from them. She smiled as Cole kissed the top of her head. "Well, now we're one big happy family," she laughed.
"Yea," Paige replied. "Let's just savor this because in another ten, eleven years…. I don't even want to think about it. Just gives me a headache," she said putting her hand to her temple.
"But," Cole said, "you have to think about the twenty years in the future when they will be you, mixing potions, kicking butt, battling demons, falling in love with them," he added with a smile. Phoebe looked up and smiled at him.
Piper and Leo came down the stairs about ten minutes later. "All five are asleep," Leo said with a sigh of relief. They took as seat on the floor in front of the wall. They were all deep in conversation when they heard a disturbing noise come from upstairs, followed by cries. All six stood immediately and began to run up the stairs. When they all tumbled into the room of the girls, they were flabbergasted to see the last bit of five demons shimmering out.
"No!" all three sisters cried at once.
"Damn it!" Paige cried.
"The boys!" Piper said, rushing out of the room and into Wyatt and Chris's room. Everyone else followed her. The two boys were laying in their beds, fast asleep. "Leo, you need-"
"I'm way ahead of you." Leo grabbed his sons and took them "Up There." With the future Charmed Ones being kidnapped, it was all they needed for the most powerful one being on the earth to be kidnapped.
Phoebe mindlessly walked into the hall. "They're gone," she said quietly. "Jason. He has to know," she finished as Cole came into the hallway.
"Are you sure you want to worry him?" he asked.
"Well, she is his daughter and he needs to know if her life is in danger, which it is," she replied, wiping away her tears. She had never dealt with anything like this before except for when it was with Wyatt and now, she realized, that was way different and now she had more sympathy for Piper. She got up and walked downstairs and looked for her purse. When she found it, she fished around for her cell phone. She sat outside on the front porch. She heard the front door open behind her and turned to see Cole. "I'll be back inside in a little bit. I just want to do this alone." Cole nodded and went back in the house. Phoebe stared at the phone in her hands realizing how hard it would be for her to call Jason. She slowly dialed his number and pushed the 'send' button. She listened to it ring several times when the voice mail picked up. She waited for the beep and took a deep breath. "Hey Jason, it's Phoebe. Um I really needed to talk to you. It's about Prue. She's…. she's…. Jason, Prue's been kidnapped. I just thought that you should know." And with that, she hung up the phone.

Jason walked into his apartment as the last of the message that Phoebe was recording played. The important thing that heard and felt that the only thing he needed to hear was "Prue's been kidnapped." He immediately turned back out the door and headed for the nearest airport.

Paige sat in the attic, furiously swinging a scrying crystal over a map. Everyone was a mess after the kidnappings. Paige had been scrying, undying, for the past three hours while Piper, Phoebe, Cole and Leo were orbing around the Underworld looking for leads as to who had the girls. Paige couldn't get over herself after what had happened. She began to rub her forehead when she heard a weird noise come from behind her. She turned to see a blue, open time portal. Then, out of the portal, stepped two very familiar faces.
"What… what are you doing here?" Paige asked, dumbfounded.
"Well, it looks like we're here to stop our sister and cousins from turning evil." Chris said smiling.
"So we're here to help you get them back," Wyatt finished.
"Well, at least you're good," Paige said looking at Wyatt. "So maybe we can change this future too."
"Let's hope so," they said together.
"I thought when he was evil was bad, it is nothing compared to those three." Chris added.
"Being evil, they're even more powerful than I am when they're together which is all the time," Wyatt said.
"So you are the twenty-four Wyatt and the twenty-two year old Chris?" Paige asked, making sure. They both nodded. She had forgotten that she was still swinging the scrying crystal until it hit a point on the map, startling her. "I've got them!" she said. "They're in the Embarcadero."
"Well then, let's go!" The brothers said together.

"Tell me what you know!" Cole said, holding a demon up by the scruff of his shirt. "Where are the girls?"
"The daughters of the Charmed Ones have been kidnapped? Who would be such a fool?" the demon replied.
Cole dropped the demon into the firey pits below. "What now?" he asked.
"We go find Paige and see what she's got," Piper said.
"She's not at the Manor anymore," Leo said, trying to sense her. "She's in the Embarcadero. With two others…men."
"This is so not the time," Phoebe remarked.
"Wait, they have a familiar trace."
"Well," Cole said. "Let's just go get to them."
