"Levitate Ben," Cole yelled as he hurled himself at the demon.
The demon threw the fireball. It passed the spot where Benjamin had been
standing and hit a picture on the wall which fell to the ground, ruined by
the flames.
"Ben, go get your aunts," Cole yelled trying to hold the demon down. Benjamin ran as fast as he could up the stairs. Cole didn't tell Ben to get Pheobe because she had just been attacked and he didn't want to put her under any more stress.
"Wyatt, orb the babies and you upstairs,"he ordered his nephew. Wyatt held both of the toddlers hands and then all three of them dissolved into millions of brioght, blue orbs. At least the kids were safe now. Piper, Pheobe, and Prue came running down the stairs. Pheobe delivered a roundhouse kick to the demon to get him away from Cole, so that Piper could blow him up without risking blowing up Cole as well. It worked and the demon flew across the room hitting the wall. Piper threw her hands up and the demon exploded. Knowing that the danger was over for the moment they all ran to check on the children.
They found the children in Pheobe and Cole's room. Potter was in his bassinet crying, so Cole picked him up. Wyatt and Benjamin were sitting on the bed, both holding their younger siblings, who were crying. Pheobe and Piper both picked up their scared little ones.
"Was someone in here?" Pheobe asked the boys as she tried to calm down Melinda. Both boys had tears in their eyes.
"Yeah," Benjamin said sniffling.
"Are you okay," she asked as she checked both of them over to make sure that they weren't hurt.
"I tried to levitate," Benjamin began.
"And then a blue ball came shooting out of his hand anf it hit the bad demon. Then he went poof," Wyatt said making an exploding noise. "It was better than Spider-Man," he said enthusiastically.
"What?" Cole asked, concerned. Cole hadn't thought that he could pass on his demonic genes to his children since his demonic half had been vanquished. There was a long period of silence. Benjamin saw the concerned looks on the adults.
"What?" Benjamin asked starting to cry again.
"Nothing, baby. Everything is okay," she assured him as she leaned over and kissed his forehead.
"Why don't you and Wyatt go play in your rooms, okay," Pheobe said.
"All right," he said wiping his tears with his sleeve. Both of the boys ran out of the room. Wyatt was telling Benjamin how cool the incident before had been.
"I'm gonna go lay Melinda down and for a nap and then we need to talk about this," Pheobe said.
"Prue can you take Potter for a few minutes,"Pheobe asked.
"Yeah, sure," Prue said picking up the sweet infant.
"Thanks," Phoebe said walking out of the room.
She paused for a moment and stared at Cole, who was looking down at the floor. She, then turned around and proceeded to take the toodler to her room. Pheobe had been wanting to explore and find out why Paige was missing and how Prue could be here, but she had to keep up pretenses so she focused on the matter at hand first.
When Pheobe returned only Cole was in the room. she closed the door and walked over to him. He was sitting on the bed with his head in his hands.
"What are we gonna do?" Pheobe asked Cole didn't say a thing.
'This is all my fault,' Cole thought. he had passed this horrible thing onto his children. He didn't want his children to go through this. It would be too hard on them. Cole had had a hard enough time trying to control his demonic powers and keep them from overpowering him, but how would the children be able to. They already had witch powers to control, but now they would have to deal with demonic powers. There is no way that they could deal with both powers, learneing to supress their demonic halves would take too much energy.
"We have to strip their powers, all three of them now, before it consumes them. I don't want them to go through what I went through," Cole said. Cole looked up and she could see tears in his eyes. Pheobe sat down beside him.
"Cole. look at me," Phoebe said. Cole turned his head to face her .
"This is not your fault," she told him. He just kept looking at her not saying a word. She knew how guilty he felt. She kissed his forehead.
"I mean it," she said. She kissed him deeply hoping that he would respond. She wanted to get him out of feeling guilty. He did. He kissed her back passionately. Pheobe remembered how good his kisses were. She hadn't kissed him like this in so long. He pulled her closer to him. So close that Pheobe could feel every inhale and exhale. They fell back onto the bed and made love.
Cole woke up the next moring alone in the bed. He looked at the clock and saw that it was almost eleven. He got up, got in the shower, and got dressed. He had forgotten about what had happened the day before for a minute. He only remembered being with Phoebe last night. Now he remembered. He sat down on the bed and thought about what they were gonna do.
Pheobe came into the room holding Potter, asleep, wrapped in his blue baby blanket that had the triquetra on it. Pheobe closed the door and sat beside Cole.
"Good morning,baby," she said giving him a kiss on the lips.
"Goodmorning," he replied in a not-so-excited tone.
"Listen Cole, I know that this makes things more complicated, but think of the alternative. If we had known this before we had children, do you think you would have still wanted to have children?" Pheobe asked him.
"No," he simply said.
"Look at your son. If we had known this earlier he would have never had a chance to be in this world or do all the good that he is going to do," Pheobe said putting the sleeping baby into Cole's arms.
"We'll find a way to fix this. We'll look for spells or potions tht can strip only their demonic powers. They need their witch powers though. We can't leave them vulnerable," Pheobe explained.
"Ben, go get your aunts," Cole yelled trying to hold the demon down. Benjamin ran as fast as he could up the stairs. Cole didn't tell Ben to get Pheobe because she had just been attacked and he didn't want to put her under any more stress.
