The Lost Ones

Chapter Eleven: Unsaid truths.

'No it can't be…my mom is dead has been for a good seventy-five years ago. God it can't be.'

"Oh…God Leonardo." Ellie said putting her hand to her mouth. Shaking her head she began to sway, the room and the people in it started to spin it was then Ellie hit the floor with a thud.

Just as Ellie hit the floor Cole materialized into the room having spent what felt like days sorting through his feelings, seeing Ellie fit the floor surprised him for more than one reason.

'Well I guess I wasn't gone as long as I thought. Wait a minute did Ellie just faint my Ellie? Elizabeth Grace Turner also known in the underworld as Xernina the only demon to have lived through two years of Aafareet's torture?'

"Hey whitelighter what happened to my sister? And why aren't you healing her?" Cole asked Chris in both an irritated and worried tone of voice.

Chris turned his head in Cole's direction and said, "She fainted."

"Yeah there's nothing a whitelighter can do. Not after the shock she got." Will also said looking in his brother's direction.

Smirking he turned to the sisters and said, "God…I would love to see Cole reaction to Ellie fainting He'd probably say something like 'Hey whitelighter what happened to my sister? And why aren't you healing her?' "

Will chuckles when he sees his brother's fuming face. He knew it wasn't right with his brother being in limbo and not being able to retaliate the way he normally would.

'LikeI want a fireball chasing my ass. No thank-you.'

"Who cares about Cole? Leo thinks that this demon is his mom what have you done?" Paige accused Will.

'They've got to be behind into way is demonic hell bitch Leo's mom. God what do they take us for idiots? We may have not done anything to her before but we will now…no way is she Leo's mom he has to be a shape-shifter or something that's the only way. And I'll prove it all I have to do is get Piper to blow him up.' Paige nodded her head triumphantly.

"See Benny boy that is what they mean by the village idiot see how she thinks she got a good idea so she's nodding her head up and down."

Will whispered into his nephew's ear how for the first time in the past week or so was showing signs of alertness.

Ben gave his uncle a funny look and said, "Why did Auntie Ellie fall down?"

"Well champ she just saw her baby boy and he's all grown up."

"Well what the hell do you mean Ellie just saw her son? I thought he was dead? What the hell kind of family is this?" Cole yelled at his younger brother he couldn't believe it not only had he found out that the sister he had thought dead for the past seventy-five years was I live, along with a brother that he had lost some fifty years back but by the looks and sound of it he had two nephews.

'I can't believe it for the past fifty years I never had anyone. Then there was Phoebe and the moment I have my family back I can't be with them.'

"ARE YOU GUYS HAPPY? ARE LOOKING DOWN AND LUAGHING PRUE? IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED TO SEE THE MIGHTY BELTHEZOR BROUGHT DOWN TO HIS KNEES! WELL I TELL YOU SOMETHING. YOU DID THAT THE DAY YOU LET AAFAREET TAKE ELLIE! IT'S YOUR FAULT I DID WHAT I DID I NEVER WANTED IT…never." Cole's demand was yelled to the ceiling of the Halliwell mansion.

Both Will and Chris grimaced at of Cole's rant. He wasn't the only one Ben also heard Cole and as a result tried to crawls his way into his uncle.

Leo looked at the woman who had passed out in living-room and couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt. He couldn't be quit sure but if this woman was his mother, but she looked too much like her not to be.

'Where you or weren't you the one to say mom and out load no less. Mom used to always say be careful what you say you may regret it later. And her you go and put your foot in your mouth.'

Leo carefully picked up Ellie and moved her to the couch. Laying her down carefully Leo brush away the hair from her face.

Leo's Flashback:

Leo was six years old and he was standing outside his parents bedroom his mother was brushing her hair, she sat in front of the vanity. His mother had the prettiest hair, plus she made the best cookies in the whole wide world.

"Leonardo why are you standing out side little man come in?" His mother said waving her hand at him to come and sit beside her on the small bench like stool. Moving over he sat down next to his mother.

Sitting down next to her she kissed his forehead and hugged him her long dark hair falling to the side and brushing against his arm.

"I'm sorry you had to be punished Leo." She said as she brushed away the dried tears on his face.

"You understand don't you sweetie?" Her pale blue eyes locked with his own blue eyes. He had always loved the fact that they both had blue eyes. Unlike his father who had green. He liked blue like his uncle Williamand his mother told him of another unlike he never meet uncle C.J.she would tell him that he was so much like him only not as flashy, but that inside they both had the same strength.He loved itwhen she told him stories about his uncles he wanted to be like them.Brave andstrong.He didn't know why but he knew he loved his mother and uncle more than his father. He did love his father but he didn't know why but he loved his mom more.No matter how nice or good his father was to him itwas always mom first.It was like they had a special link. When hetold his mom about it she would laugh and smile,

"Magic Leonardo…magic." She would wink at him then come up to him pick him up and hug him.

Leo looked down at the woman who had only fainted just moments ago. And wondered 'is that what she meant by magic? I know it's silly how could she possibly be my mom but it has to be. Her reaction alone should be proof enough. And God help me but she looks so much like her.'

Only it wasn't for one charmed sister, Paige was positive that this saw just another ploy to keep their attention from the real plan.

Getting her sisters attention she pulled them over to the side, whispering so no one would hear them,

"Guys I don't trust them. And I don't think Leo is Leo."

"What would make you say that?" both Piper and Paige asked

"I don't know maybe it's the fact that he's calling demon bitch mom. He has to be a shape shifter or something."

"Oh you've got to be kidding me. Please tell me that after I died Paige developed a sense of humor. A very bad and terrible weak one but a sense of humor none the less."

Cole turned pleading eyes to Chris, Chris raised an eyebrow and asked Will and said,

"Do you think it's possible that that was a joke?"

"Oh…come on everyone knows that a world without Cole in it loses all humor and joie de vive." Will said with an add eye role.

The sisters gave Chris and Will funny looks, not understanding what was going on. Chris shrugged his shoulders and tried his best to look like the half-angle he was. Will just leveled the sister with a look and said,

"Your house is filled with ghost." As an answer . Turning to look to Leo he said,

"Hey haven't you ever heard of smelling salts what kind of I used to be a doctor whitelighter are you?"

Leo looked up in shock at the red demon, very few people knew he had been a doctor before be coming a whitelighter in fact the ones who knew were probably not very likely to tell a demon.

Ben was focusing his bright blue eyes on Leo and said,

"Hi! I'm Ben I'm twee yeaws old." He held out his hands showing three fingers out to try and get his point across better.

"Not quite three Benny." Will corrected

"Close enough," the young boy protested. "It's not faiwer why do I got to be little Leo is big why am I small?"

Will laughed and kissed the boy on the forehead. Which looked very strange to the sisters seeing a demon kiss a baby.

"Because you are."

Will then moved to where his sister was on the couch as soon as he moved Leo stepped away. Will just rolled his eyes at the speed the whitelighter took to be a far away from him as possible. He could easily remember a time when getting his nephew to live him alone was impossible.

Trying to lean down to check on his sister while holding on to a wriggling child turned out not to work with Will. He was also trying not to cut both his sister and nephew with his demonic long nails. Shaking his head he stood up once more, focusing on Phoebe he said,

"Phoebe would please hold Ben for a second."

Will had an idea what might happen if Phoebe held him. Both he and Bethy had discussed it at length that instead of trying to gain the sisters trust just let Phoebe hold her son and she might get a premonition.

'Might being the operative word there William, unlike the Seer she only sees what they want her to see.'

"How do you know my name?"

"Please sure we may not have had any contact to our brother when you guys meet but that doesn't mean that we didn't keep our ear to the ground and know what he was up to."

Phoebe hesitantly came forward and took Ben from his uncle when she did just as thought by the brother and sister thought could be possible Phoebe was hit by a premonition.

Phoebe's Premonition:

She was in a part of the underworld she saw Ellie and Will in his demonic form Next to them stood a lose skinned demon, layers upon layers of skin one on top of each other. The three stood around a frozen person, that frozen person was none other than the Seer. Phoebe could see that her stomach was round and big, she knew this must be after she had stolen her child away from her. She could also that she was seeing the beginnings of a spell candles were alight around her, she also noticed that the Seer was standing in a pentagram.Ellie and Will began tochant she couldn't hear them thenthere was then a burst of light leaving the Seers body and going into Ellie's.

When Phoebe looked at Ben she couldn't believe it. 'He's my son. Mine and Cole's son.'

"So I see you figured it out." Crocked a voice.

Phoebe turned to Ellie who had just come too.

"What figured what out? Ellie what's going on?" Cole by now knew that both his siblings could hear him he was going to make the most out of it.

"So Phoebe how does it feel seeing the son you thought was dead?"

"SON!" Cried out all the people in the manor, all save Chris.
