In a flash of light, Cole and Bryce appeared with a still frozen Melissa back at that Manor. Leo and Piper were arguing, loudly, making both Demon and Witch cringe.

"I expect you to care, to listen when... " Piper almost growled out, stopping to turn to them. "Oh, hi..."

"We fought the demon, or rather Bryce did. It was a siren." Cole said, clearly amused. "Am I interrupting something?

Piper sighed. "Yes. What do we know on Sirens?"

Bryce smiled and stepped forward. "Well, according to the book as a mortal the Siren fell in love with a married man but when they were caught the man was held blameless.

"Typical."

"The village women cheered as they burned her to death and her rage turned her into a Siren, a vengeful demon who seduces married men with her song, then destroys the couples with the very flame that consumed her." Bryce frowned. "Which makes me wonder, how could I hear her song too?"

Leo turned to him. "You could hear her song? How's that relevant?"

"Yeah, it was weird. Cole said that only Phoebe should be able to hear it since they're married... maybe it's tied to my unique roots, who knows really." Leo's eyes widened, but Piper just looked confused.

"What unique roots?" She asked, confused.

"Don't worry your cute head about it, it's a need-to-know sort of dealio... still, we need to make a potion to kill her or get Cole to do it. I'd rather not deal with a murderous demon, killing married couples. Leo, you heal her, Piper you watch her, I got a potion to make."

Piper stopped him. "How do you all this about the Siren? I've read that book literally hundreds of times and I have no memories of seeing the sirens name anywhere"

"I read the book, I remember what I read, it wasn't too hard." With that, he rushed up the stairs to get started.

Piper just gaped at the boy sprinting up the stairs. " I think he knows the book better than I do."

Cole laughed. "He probably does. He's rather proactive, not reactive like you all are. Anyway, my freeze on her will last a few hours at the least, I'll come down when it's time to refreeze her, or you can do it. Either or... but I think I'll help Bryce with his potion, so he doesn't blow himself up... see ya." Laughing a little at her expression, Cole teleported up the stairs to the attic, where he saw Bryce and Paige working over the book.

"What if we added a pinch more mandrake, a drop of griffin's blood... and maybe a few drops of your blood, that should refocus the potion and make it so you can choose where the teleporting goes." Paige started, and Cole listened. "I cannot believe you made your own potion, I am so proud of you!" She kissed Bryce's cheek.

The boy giggled. "I am a genius, it shouldn't be so shocking."

"You really are! We are so adding this to the book, if you want of course."

"I will, it's a pretty good potion. Cole helped me refine it, the Source may be a monster but he was great with potions using ingredients you never thought of like Wraith essence. It was key to making this potion work." He looked up and smiled at Cole. "Speaking of, Cole any other ideas?"

He nodded. "If you can get it willingly given, you can do a lot with Nymph hair. It is a great binder, and it helps with the expression of naturalistic ingredients."

"We should make friends with some Nymphs, remind me to do that Cole... we need more magical friends anyway, so why not right?"

Cole smiled, unable to stop himself. "Will do that." He went to say more when a loud explosion followed by a shriek drew their attention. Immediately they all hurried down the stairs, teleporting as one in time to see a stunned Piper looking at her hands. "What's wrong?"

Piper gaped, pointing at an equally stunned Leo. " He has my powers... he went to teleport away and blew something up..."

"How?" Bryce walked over to Piper, putting a hand on her belly. " I can sense something odd with the baby... I can't explain it, but I swear I feel some of his essence... in Leo?" He turned to Leo, smirking. "The baby did this, didn't he?"

"She and I think so... there was this swirling of lights, and we got knocked over, then... well... you know the rest."

Bryce frowned. " No, the baby is a boy, definitely a boy. I can tell, not sure how that power works but I can tell... It's a boy."

It was then that Phoebe walked into the house, looking frustrated. " Who invited you here, Cole?"

"Seeing as I have an open invitation from Piper and Paige both, through Bryce, I would say them. Now, let's focus on what actually matters, outside of your sad issues with me. Like, for instance, our innocent Melissa attacked by a Siren or that the Baby swapped Piper and Leo's powers?"

Pheobe took a step back. "What? The baby did what?"

:::

Twenty minutes later, they were in kitchen, Bryce brewing a potion over the stove while listening to the Charmed One talking. It was actually fun to watch, Phoebe was glaring at Cole, Paige was reading the book and Piper was patting her head, looking pained.

"Okay, uh, what's with all the chatter in my head?" She asked her husband, who was sitting at the table.

Leo turned to her. "It's probably one of my charges. Does anyone sound panicked?"

"How do you differentiate? Wait, do you hear these voices all the time?"

"Pretty much."

Pheobe snarked. " Okay, can we just focus on the Siren? Power swap or not, your vulnerable since your married."

Paige smirked. "Hey, you're still married too, she might come after you."

Phoebe turned to her still technical husband. "Yeah, technically. Besides, if she's stupid enough to go after Cole it'll be her swan song."

Cole sighed. "If you paid attention, she did go after me only... you didn't hear her song, but Bryce did... Why is that?"

Piper made a sound. "Maybe it's his unique roots, whatever that means." The other sisters turned to Bryce, who sighed.

"I have reasons for keeping secrets, we will share later but for now only us guys here know it." He raised his hands, ignoring their looks. "It's not a sexism thing. Leo found out by accident, Cole when he saved us from the Fairy Tales... I wasn't planning on sharing with anyone... now, let's focus on what matters, the innocent and the Siren. My potion will be done in like five minutes. I am making two batches, this should provide us with enough for two attacks. Paige will be our main fighter, as she is not bound to someone who will allow her to hear the song and be bewitched. We will beat her easily, summon her with a spell. Paige will kill her with the potion and all will be well. Now, don't stand there like lumps, start with the spell writing."

They all looked at Bryce, stunned. Piper smirked at him. "You're really getting into being a witch, aren't you?"

"Very much so, It's all sorts of fun... but beyond that I seem to be good at it. I think it's my nursing training. " It was then that something amazing happened... Leo burped a mass of orbs.

Cole gaped at him, as did them all. " Whoa, what was that?"

"Hey, how did you do that?" Piper asked.

Leo bent over. " I don't know but I'm feeling really nauseous."

" Oh, god, and I'm not. Wait, how, why... Bryce, Why does he have my pregnancy symptoms?" She turned to their resident medical expert.

"I did sense some of the baby's magic in Leo... my guess, this is to make sure you communicate, you are both experiencing that which neither of you is listening to... which is crap since Leo was more in the wrong here but what can you expect from a literal embryo."

Leo groaned, holding his chest. " Are your boobs always this sore?"

Piper laughed at Leo, as did Bryce and Cole. Then Piper cringed, holding her head. "Woah, someone's in trouble...Oh, big trouble. I... I gotta help her, ow!" Then Piper orbed away, vanishing to who knew where.

Cole smirked. "Smart baby indeed."

Bryce laughed. "Agreed." Turning to Leo, he smirked. "You need to practice your new Powers, Leo... get them under control so you're not in jeapordy. Get to it."


Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.

This was a blast.

Love, your Ninja Overlord,
