Chapter 4-A Magical Day Out
The day had started off well enough but now with it being one, the children were getting restless.
"Patience, leave daddy's papers alone," Cole told the child as he struggled to get his work done.
"Color!" Ben screamed running around the office with a blue crayon marking anything he could.
"Benjamin," Cole said in a stern voice forcing the toddler to stop mid-coloring. "Give me the crayon."
Cole held out his had and the child reluctantly obeyed handing him the crayon.
"Are you hungry?" Cole asked the toddlers realizing that it was past their lunchtime.
When both children nodded, he reached into the diaper bag and pulled out a lunch box that had been prepared for them that morning and put the assortment of healthy foods in front of them.
"No, daddy. McDownald's," Ben said and Cole had to laugh at his son's mispronunciation.
"No McDonald's. Eat your lunch," Cole said as he looked around surveying the damage that had already been done to the office.
McDownald's. McDownald's," Ben screamed.
"Pwease daddy," Patience pleaded giving him her cutest puppy eyes.
'Be strong, Cole. Don't let her control you' he told himself taking a deep breath.
"No McDonald's. Eat your lunch," Cole told the toddler as he started to clean up the juice that had been spilled on the floor earlier.
"But I wants McDownald's," Ben said and as he did so, a happy meal appeared in front of him. "Yay!"
Cole turned to the children to see what they were screaming about now and saw them eating McDonald's.
"Where did that come from?" he asked his son.
"It was just hewre," Ben told his father.
"What do you mean it was just here? Don't eat it," Cole told them thinking that it could have something to do with a demon until he noticed what Ben was doing now.
The child conjured up a new happy meal and began to eat as fast as he could before his daddy could stop him.
"How comes Ben gets a happy meal?" Patience asked pouting.
"Hewre, Pate, you can half a finch fy," Ben said handing one to his sister.
"But I want mines," Pate said starting to throw a tantrum.
Before she could do that however, she disappeared in a way similar to shimmering, the only difference being that when she shimmered back, she gave off a white glow that would linger for a few moments before also disappearing.
"Oh, this will be fun. Come on buddy," Cole sighed as he picked Ben up.
He shimmered out and reappeared in the bathroom of a McDonald's.
"Let's go find your sister," Cole told his son as they left the bathroom.
"How comes Pate gets dat power?" Ben asked his daddy as they passed a woman holding a small child.
"Shh, Ben. Look for your sister," Cole tried quieting the toddler to keep him from exposing their magic.
"Pate!" Ben screamed but soon saw the play area and immediately forgot about his sister. "Pwease, daddy. Just for a wittle while. I be good. I pwomise."
"No, we're getting Patience and leaving," Cole said looking around. "Patience!"
"But I wants to pway," Ben cried struggling to break free from his father's arms.
"Ben, I said no. I have to find your sister," Cole told the child getting a little irritated with him.
"But dat's not fair," he screamed and as he did so, a gold colored energy ball shot from his small hand.
Thankfully no one had seen and since Ben was young and the energy ball wasn't advanced, it only flew a few feet before dissipating causing no damage.
"Ben, what did I say about that," Cole scolded the child, but knew he was too young to be expected to have complete control over his powers.
"I sowry daddy," Ben said.
"It's okay. I know you didn't mean to," Cole told his son. "Patience Piper Turner, come here this minute."
She obeyed and shimmered in front of him. Cole quickly picked up the child and hurried to an empty spot behind the building before shimmering out, hoping that nobody had seen what his young daughter had just done.
He gathered up their things from his office and informed his secretary that he was leaving for the day.
"Promise that you will be good. No shimmering, no conjuring, and no energy balls. This will only take a minute," Cole told the children while in the elevator.
"We pwomise," they both said in unison as the elevator doors opened.
"Ewise, Ewise!" Patience squealed as she ran from the elevator to a woman standing near by. "Likes my hair? Daddy did it."
"Yes, it's beautiful," Elise told the toddler.
"Ewise, guess what I can do," Ben exclaimed, but Cole stopped him before he showed off his conjuring abilities.
"Come on. We gotta get mommy's letters and go home," Cole said prying the twins away from Elise.
They arrived home and a very exhausted Cole carried both children into the manor, both struggling to stay awake.
"You look tired," Pheobe said as she walked into the room.
"Yeah, well, we had a difficult day," Cole told her as he started to carry the children to their beds.
"No bed!"Ben screamed even as his eyes were shut.
"What happened? Did someone attack?" Pheobe asked getting worried.
They had never found who killed their family and that scared Pheobe the most, the fact that they could come back at any moment and wipe them out, kill the children and her husband.
"No. Patience and Ben each got a new power today," Cole told her.
"What?" Pheobe asked.
"Ben can now conjure objects and Patience has developed shimmering," Cole explained. "And she used it to shimmer to McDonald's and Ben almost exposed his magic about three or four times today."
Pheobe took Ben from him.
"Does this mean that you would rather take care of P3 tonight instead of staying home with the kids?" she asked.
"No, it's my night to stay with them. You run P3. You need a break from the kids probably more than I do," he told her.
"Thank you. Maybe one night, we'll actually get to spend time together," she said before kissing him.
"Yeah, hopefully soon," Cole said looking at her with lustful eyes. "How do you think Victor would feel about having his grandchildren visit him this weekend?"
"We'll see, but I don't think it's a good idea since they just got new powers,"Pheobe said as she laid Patience in her bed.
Cole bent his head done.
"We'll see honey," she told him as he left the room to put Ben to bed.
