Chapter 3 - unpleasant seed
"so how's Prue holding up?", Leo asked as he handed Andy a cup a coffee. "she's been better... this whole situation has made her afraid to leave Aria alone", Andy explained. "Well same with Phoebe but they'll get through this", Cole assured. "anyway what about Tori?", Andy asked. "well I was talking to Phoebe about it and she feels that we should allow her stay here while we look for her grandmother", Cole said. "yeah the sisters could scry for her", Leo said. "yeah after all she did for us she deserves all the support", Andy added, as Cole and Leo nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile Phoebe went to Heavenly's room where she was just laying on her bed staring at the ceiling. "hey baby girl", Phoebe greeted with a soft knock on the door. "hey mommy", Heavenly said, as she sat up. "where's Tori?", Phoebe asked, as she sat on the bed. "she's in the shower". "what's on your mind?", Phoebe asked. "umm... nothing really". "I know you missed your audition... but I am going to see that you get another one". Heavenly shrugged. "It's fine mommy I am just happy that everyone is back and safe... between the audition and your lives I would obviously pick my family", Heavenly said. "I know baby but it's still ok to feel sad or disappointed about it you know", Phoebe said with a sweet smile. "I know", Heavenly said, as a few tears escaped. "come here", Phoebe said, as Heavenly went into her moms arms and sobbed softly. "I am so grateful to have you all back but I also wish I could have gone to the audition", Heavenly sobbed. "It's alright there will be more opportunities to come just leave your head up", Phoebe comforted. "but when you miss an opportunity you can never get another chance I blew it mommy", Heavenly cried. "No you didn't blow it sweetie and there are still many opportunities for you especially with how hard you work", Phoebe comforted. "thanks mommy", Heavenly as they shared another hug. Tori watched unseen by the washroom door, she had finished taking a shower. She wished her mother could love her like this and hug and kiss her and tell her everything was going to be alright. "hi Tori", Heavenly suddenly said as she noticed her. "hi". "Tori you look good in pink", Phoebe said. "thanks and thank you Heavenly for allowing me to wear your dress". "that's what sisters do", Heavenly stated. Tori smiled. "well we can go shopping and get you some new clothes", Phoebe suggested. "No thank you... I have clothes in my mother's chambers I can go get it", Tori said. "No it's to dangerous for you let me just buy some new clothes and some other things you'll need while you stay here". "It's ok my mom would be looking for me I have to go with her", Tori said. "That's not idea Tori it's not safe", Heavenly stated. "She's my mother she cares for me", Tori said, trying to convince herself. "But just know that you always have a home here alright?", Phoebe said. Tori smiled in appreciation. "well I have to get going I know my mom is looking for me", Tori stated. "why can't you stay for breakfast?", Heavenly asked. "No it's ok I have already stayed long enough I have to go but I'll be back". "when are you coming back?", Phoebe asked. "soon". "how soon?", Heavenly asked. "don't worry I'll be back I promise", Tori replied, as she gave Heavenly a hug. "Before you leave do you have anything of your grandmother? so we could scry for her", Phoebe asked. "no.. not anymore...I used to live with my grandmother when I was really little and I had a picture of her but then my mom ceased it", Tori explained. "Don't worry my sisters and I will work together to find her", Phoebe promised. "yea and I'll help too", Heavenly added. "thank you", Tori said gratefully. "well stay safe and you can always come by whenever you want", Phoebe said. "thank you all I have to get going", Tori said. "bye Tori", Heavenly said. "take care", Phoebe added, as Tori waved before shimmering out.
"there you are... why is this I am hearing about you hanging around Abaddon's kingdom", Yara Tori's mom asked furry in her eyes. "and who would tell you such lies", Tori replied shocked. "SHUT UP". "I didn't go there I swear don't you trust me?", Tori defended. "Don't you dare lie to me", Yara scolded. "Mother I wouldn't be so stupid to go to Abaddon's kingdom and why exactly would I be doing there I am just a child". Yara just glared at her daughter. "Enough leave my chambers I don't want to see you", Yara snarled. "Mother", Tori called out hurt at her mother's words. "When you are ready to tell me the truth you can come to me otherwise get lost", Yara spat, her words poison to Tori's heart. Tori immediately ran out tears streaming down her face.
"I miss this hanging out with just my husband and daughter", Prue commented. Prue and Andy were taking a walk in the park with Aria in her stroller. "and I missed being with you... and I was meaning to ask you something", Andy said, as Prue gave him her attention. "I think we should move out.. I think there's too much craziness in the manor", Andy said. "you know I am a charmed one by destiny wherever I go demons will find me", Prue said. "I know but it will be better if we have some space they are your family so we would still see them all the time", Andy stated. "My family?". "you know what I mean". "what exactly do you mean... I know things have been rough but we always pull through", Prue said, pushing the stroller faster. "Prue.. it isn't like that I have seen how scared you have been to leave Aria and you are always scared something very bad is going to her", Andy said, trying to catch up with Prue. "every mother worries about their child", Prue said, more annoyed that Andy was right. "I know so do I but being scared for her safety all the time is different and you know it". Prue sighed he was right. "I know... but I just can't leave we are stronger together", Prue said, allowing Andy to hold her in his arms. "It was a suggestion we don't have to.. but just please think about it", Andy said, Prue nodded. The couple shared a short passionate kiss, before continuing the walk.
Heavenly finally finished the spell, and then she fill her small bag with potions, and then she dropped the note she had wrote on top of the book of shadows in the attic. "I'm sorry...In this time and in this hour take me to where my heart desires", Heavenly chanted, as she disappeared in white lights. "Tori Tori", Heavenly called. "Heavenly what are you doing here?", Tori asked, whispering. "I came to see you and also I want to help you find your grandmother". "Heavenly if my mother finds you here she'll kill you", Tori warned. "I'll be gone once I help you find that picture", Heavenly stated. "it won't be that easy you have to leave now", Tori said. "but we can try we've done this before". "Heavenly that was different if my mom finds you in her chambers she won't spare you". Suddenly footsteps could be heard coming towards the door. "oh no", Tori said, as she pulled Heavenly to her closet and hid her there. "Tori who where you talking to?", Tori's mom asked. "no one I wasn't talking I was playing a game sort of", Tori said, her voice trembling. "lies lies now how many times do I have to tell you that If you want to lie at least make it believable". "I am not lying mother", Tori said, trying to stay calm. "very well I need you to go get me Marlin tell him it's urgent", Tori's mom ordered. "yes mother", Tori replied, as Tori's mom exited her room. "Heavenly you have got to go now.. you heard what she said my mother doesn't like to be kept waiting", Tori said immediately the coast was clear. "OK but when can I come back so I could help you find the picture?", Heavenly asked. "won't your mom get angry at you for hanging here?", Tori asked. "Don't worry about that I'll talk to her she'll understand so can I help?". "I'll let you know.. and thanks for coming but it's safer for me to come to you so just wait for my call", Tori said. "Ok see you around", Heavenly said. "bye". Heavenly chanted the same spell as she disappeared in white lights.
"come on loosen up today is supposed to be a relaxing day", Prue advised. All the sisters took the kids to play in the water park, along with Shaniah and Akita. Phoebe was holding Sophia, while Prue held Aria, and Piper held Wyatt, as they sat on the bench "I know it's just hard to relax when the demon that succeeded to capture all of us is still alive", Phoebe said. "I know but you have to for the baby", Paige reminded. "yes and we were all able to pull through as a family", Piper added. "speaking of babies how many kids are you all planning to have?", Paige asked. "well it's too early for me to tell", Prue said. "well I have always wanted a lot of kids and Cole wants a lot of kids so we'll see", Phoebe said. "I think three will be great", Piper stated. "what about Henry?", Prue asked. "what about him?", Paige asked, knowing exactly what they wanted to hear. "well? how's everything going?", Piper asked. "well I just don't know how he'll feel about all the magic", Paige said. "yeah but it looks like he really likes you so maybe try to tell him and see how he reacts", Phoebe suggested. "I wish it was that easy... I don't want to scare him away". "If he's for you he'll stay", Prue stated. "how are you so sure?", Paige asked. "well look at all of us we all found the love of our lives so I believe you will too", Phoebe said. "I guess so", Paige said, feeling unsure. "It will be alright", Prue assured. "yeah just talk to him and maybe you can even invite him for dinner", Piper suggested. "umm I'll wait until tell him about magic because these kids just shimmer and orb everywhere". Everyone nodded in agreement. Meanwhile Heavenly, Shaniah and Akita were playing not too far from the sisters in the water. "So when's Tori going to come back?", Shaniah asked. "I don't know she said I should wait for her but I'm tired of waiting", Heavenly said. "maybe talk you your mom and aunts about it", Akita suggested. "yeah I would but it's just my mom is pregnant now and daddy said she shouldn't be under stress... and my aunt Piper is also pregnant", Heavenly explained. "but they can still fight can't they?", Shaniah asked. "yes they can but it's not safe for the babies". "well what do we do then?", Akita asked. "well I have to go by myself and help Tori", Heavenly said. "well can I come with you?", Shaniah asked. "me too", Akita added. "that's a bad idea you don't have powers you could get killed", Heavenly reasoned. "yes but so could you I know I don't have active powers but I could say some spells and stuff and plus we can bring many potions", Akita said. "it's not the same I can defend myself without potions because potions are supposed to be the back up plan", Heavenly explained. "yes but we aren't going to fight right? we just want to help Tori find her picture and plus I want to go on an adventure so bad come on", Shaniah begged, shocking both Heavenly and Akita. "stop this we cannot go together and plus I can go with my Aunt Prue or Aunt Paige or even my daddy". "yes but they are probably going to say no and plus they'll tell your mom and aunt Piper and they'll be stressed", Akita said. "look I don't want anything to happen to you girls you're my best friends please just understand... I know it could be fun but it is really dangerous... and plus there are many times I have almost died and no offence the two of you won't stand a chance". "ok we get it I just wish I had powers like you", Shaniah said. "same here", Akita added. "trust me it's not all great... those demons killed my parents and they have killed my grand mother and my great grandmother so it's really dangerous", Heavenly said. "well let's play then", Shaniah said. "Yeah", Heavenly said, as the trio ran to play in the slides.
"Roman?", Tori called. "Roman? what happened to daddy?", Roman Tori's dad asked, as he came into Tori's room. "what do you want?", Tori asked. "I want to take you for an adventure", Roman asked. "what adventure? wait did mom tell you to come?", Tori asked. "so your mother has to call me before I could spend time with you?". "yes that's exactly the only time you come for me", Tori stated annoyed. "well... forget that today we can do whatever you want", Roman stated. "why there is always something you want?". "well I want to spend time with my seed", Roman said darkly. "I am not going anywhere with you", Tori stated, as she turned away from him. "Now is that a way to behave child?", Yara suddenly said, as she came into the scene. "I do not want anything to do with Roman". "Show some respect you brat haven't I taught you anything", Yara scolded. Tori just ignored them. "we are just worried about your future... you getting yourself involved with a spoiled little witch", Yara said. "She's my friend", Tori defended. "so the rumours are true", Yara snarled. "You can never be friends with the enemy they don't care about you they are just using you... be smart", Roman manipulated. "You're lying". "Am I? Tori we are demons we are supposed to be killers it's in our blood", Yara said. "but maybe I don't like killing", Tori said, as her parents gasped. "What happened to my child the child who is destined to destroy witches you aren't the same", Yara ranted. "Maybe I'm different", Tori said, as Yara slapped her. "why do you want to bring shame to my family are you crazy?", Yara hollered. "Now now Yara... come with me Tori let's take a walk", Roman stepped in. Tori shook her head as tears streamed down her face. "TORI", Yara screamed. Tori then ran out of the room. "Leave her", Roman ordered. "and why exactly should I listen to you", Yara said. "because we have to guide her back to who she is we cannot force her but with proper guidance she'll be back to who she's supposed to be", Roman stated. "she better or I'll kill after all I could always get another child to replace her", Yara said. "you'll do no such she's still our child", Roman reminded. "whatever", Yara stated before shimmering out.
"Stop don't put too much sugar", Piper said. "sorry", Heavenly said. "that's ok now stir it carefully", Piper instructed. Piper and Heavenly were spending time together as they baked a cake. "Is this good", Heavenly asked. "Yes now we'll add a little salt", Piper stated. Suddenly Tori shimmered in the kitchen, as she startled The duo. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you", Tori said, as she was crying. "That's ok what's wrong?", Heavenly asked. "What happened Tori? ", Piper asked. Tori just cried, as Piper and Heavenly went to console her with hugs. "Phoebe Prue guys get in here", Piper called. After a brief wait Phoebe, and Prue came into the kitchen. "What's going on?", Prue asked. "Tori just came in crying", Heavenly replied, as she too started to cry with her friend. "Tori what's the matter?", Phoebe asked, as she held Tori in her arms. Tori just cried silently in her arms. "Let's go to the living room so she could sit down", Piper suggested, as everyone agreed with a nod. Heavenly held Tori's hand and followed everyone to the living room. After crying in Phoebe's arms for a while Tori was able to start talking. "I'm sorry to disturb you but I am just sad", Tori started. "You aren't disturbing us sweetie", Prue said. "Was it your mom?", Heavenly asked. Tori didn't want to answer. "I know it's hard to talk about but we are hear for you", Piper said. "I wish My mom wasn't my mom and I wish I didn't know Roman", Tori whispered audibly. "who's Roman?'', Phoebe asked. "My dad". "I'm so sorry Tori but everything is going alright", Prue assured, giving Tori a warm hug. Yara watched unseen, anger rose in her heart.
"those stupid Halliwells taking my daughter to their side I am going to teach that little witch a lesson", Yara said to herself. She gone back to the underworld where she paced around angrily. "Why don't you calm down before a vain pops out from your head", A voice stated. "This is not the time Elizabeth", Yara hollered. "calm down I am not the one that made your daughter switch sides", Elizabeth stated flippantly. "you should talk everyone knows your son's shameless story". "well of course they know but the two of us share the same problem we both wants our children back", Elizabeth stated, as she poured herself a drink and made herself comfortable in Yara's chambers. "well my daughter is still a child yours is in too deep it's too late", Yara said. "It's never to late to come back home he is my son and he will leave that witch and come back to me", Elizabeth stated confidently. "and how are you so sure?", Yara asked. "well that's when you come in you know I have been wanting to destroy that stupid witch that married my son and her good for nothing daughter...and you see that spoiled child is the reason your daughter has fallen", Elizabeth explained. "And if care isn't taken she'll be just like my son one day maybe even marry a good witch". "Over her dead body will she do such an atrocity", Yara stated. "Well we have got to work together to destroy their relationships". "And why exactly must we work together?", Yara asked. "Well because we have both failed when we attempt to do it alone and when two with the same goals come together damage will be made". Yara smiled. "Alright partner what's the first step?", Yara asked. "we plant a seed".
"LOOK OUT", Piper screamed. As Prue immediately threw the demon to the attic wall. "PHOEBE WATCH OUT", Paige warned, as Phoebe was able to dodge the fireball. "Thanks", Phoebe said, before she threw the potion at him and he blew up instantly. "These demons are so annoying", Piper commented. "are you all alright?", Prue asked. Everyone nodded. "I wish we could make demons clean up", Paige commented. "Mommy can go ride my bike outside?", Heavenly asked as she ran into the attic. "umm I don't think now is a great time baby", Phoebe said. "but mommy I'm a big girl now I can go on my own", Heavenly defended. "It's not about that... ok who are you going to play with?", Phoebe asked. "No one I just want to ride my bike", Heavenly said. "Why not wait until daddy comes from work so he can go with you", Phoebe suggested. "but daddy comes really late sometimes and he'll be tired pleeeaase let me go", Heavenly begged, as she wrapped her arms around Phoebe's belly, and gave Phoebe her best smile. "OK but stay around the block only understand I don't want you going too far", Phoebe instructed. "Can I go by Mirabell's house maybe he can come outside with me?", Heavenly asked. "I don't know baby I am not comfortable with you going that far". "But you let me go with Tori the other time", Heavenly reminded. "yes but you were with Tori I don't want you going alone all the way over near Mirabell's", Phoebe stated. "But it's not that far Aunt Prue please tell mommy that it'll be alright", Heavenly begged, hoping Prue would take her side. "I am sorry but your mommy is right you shouldn't be going anywhere alone around the block is safer", Prue reasoned. "fine I guess around the block it is", Heavenly gave up. "alright make sure you come back in an hour so take your watch with you", Phoebe instructed. "OK mommy love you", Heavenly said giving Phoebe a hug. "Love you more baby", Phoebe said, planting a kiss on her forehead. Heavenly then ran out of the attic. "She's growing really fast", Paige commented. "Yeah I remember when she first came she just turned 8 and was so tiny", Piper recalled. "yeah but she'll always be my baby girl", Phoebe said, as she wiped a tear. "Don't worry even if you missed some years from her life you still got her back and that's all that matters", Prue assured, knowing what Phoebe was thinking. "I'll try to remember that I just wish I could have been with her", Phoebe said, as Paige went and hugged her. "well she's home now with her family where she belongs", Piper added. "thank you... this hormones are too much", Phoebe laughed. "well I think I'll cook dinner today", Paige said, as everyone flashed her looks of confusion. "What? I have been practising". "well don't kill us", Piper joked. "I won't you will like my meal", Paige said.
Meanwhile Heavenly rode her bike, before she could turn the corner she could see Cole. "Daddy", Heavenly called, but he was too far to hear her, the closer she got she was able to see Cole kissing another woman who wasn't her mother on the lips. Cole had this woman in his arms and they were kissing with so much passion the passion that Heavenly had seen when her parents would kiss. Heavenly stopped and stared in confusion. Heavenly paddled her bike quickly unseen to the manor's driveway leaving it on the porch before running inside. "Hey slow down", Paige said, as Heavenly ran into her. "I'm sorry", Heavenly said trying to get a way. "slow down sweetie what's wrong?", Paige asked. "Nothing I need to use the washroom", Heavenly stated before running before Paige could question her more. Paige then immediately orbed after her. Paige orbed in front of Heavenly's room before Heavenly could enter. By this time Heavenly had started crying. "Don't do that", Heavenly complained. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you but why are you crying what happened did someone do something to you outside?", Paige asked. "Let me call your mom". "wait please I'm fine just don't tell her anything", Heavenly said. "do you want to talk about it?", Paige asked. "Not really but I'm fine". "OK but just know that whatever it is you can always talk to your family", Paige assured. Heavenly nodded, as she made her way into her room and closing the door behind her.
"Tori darling what are you doing?", Yara asked, as Tori was looking through her dresser. "Something important", Tori mumbled, as she continued to search through he dresser without looking at her mother. "Aren't you supposed to be with your father". "I don't want to see Roman", Tori stated. "LOOK AT ME", Yara hollered, immediately making Tori stand up look at her mother. "I'm sorry mother but I don't want to go anywhere with Roman", Tori stated. "Is that so? well it's good that it's my decision to make and not yours", Yara said. "And why not I am the one that has to go with him-". "ENOUGH...look you are get ready and make your way to meet your father right now I am not asking so start heading out", Yara ordered. Tori crossed her arms and angrily marched out slamming the door shut behind her. "Don't worry sweetie mommy is going to make sure you get back to who you are supposed to be".
"Come on Leo we are going to be late", Piper complained, Leo and Piper were on their way to Piper's doctor appointment. Piper was 8 months pregnant, and was seeing the doctor regularly. "I'm coming Piper take it easy honey", Leo said. "alright Prue we're on our way and Wyatt has been changed", Piper informed. "Don't worry I have everything under control", Prue assured. "thanks Prue", Piper said, giving a hug. Prue smiled in response. "now go before you'll be late", Prue said, as Piper and Leo orbed out. Prue was able to get Wyatt to sleep, while Aria wouldn't sleep and would cry whenever Prue would lay her in her crib. After a little while Phoebe, Cole, Heavenly and Sophia had come back from the movies. "welcome back family", Prue greeted. "hey Prue... hello Aria", Cole greeted back. "hello", Phoebe said. Heavenly waved. "you alright?", Prue asked. "yeah just a little tired", Heavenly stated. "yeah you've been really quiet today you sure you're OK?", Cole asked. "I'm fine dad", Heavenly said, as she walked away. "what's up with her?", Prue asked. "I don't know she won't talk to me about it but I know she's certainly upset about something", Phoebe said. "well I can go talk to her", Cole suggested, as He handed Sophia to Phoebe and went after Heavenly. Cole made his way to Heavenly's room, and knocked a couple times. "Heavenly it's daddy can I come in?", Cole asked. Since he got no answer he opened the door. "Heavenly baby what's wrong?", Cole asked, as he entered the room. Heavenly sat on her bed, as she was crying. "I am fine", Heavenly lied avoiding eye contact. "I don't have to be an empath to know that my baby girl is hurt...remember you can always talk to me or mommy", Cole stated, as he sat next to her. "I don't want to talk about anything with you", Heavenly said, hurting Cole with her words. Cole was now more worried, she was angry at him. "I won't know that I offended you if you don't tell me", Cole said. "It's fine dad I'm just feeling sad", Heavenly said, still avoiding eye contact. He knew she was lying. "Heavenly I understand that you are upset but just know that I will never ever try to intentionally hurt you or any one I love", Cole said. "Can I please be left alone?". Those words making Cole die a little on the inside. "alright but just know that I love you so much and whatever it is I am here for you", Cole concluded before leaving Heavenly alone with her thoughts.
"Elizabeth you summoned me", Yara responded. "yes how's everything been going with the plan?", Elizabeth asked. "It's a slow start but the seed has been planted", Yara informed. "Very good we must push it a little further", Elizabeth stated. "I would have suggested killing the little brat it's easier", Yara said. "Trust me I want to also destroy her with my bare hands but unfortunately she is needed for our plan to work", Elizabeth stated. "what makes her so special?". "I wouldn't say special but she's useful when trust is removed no relationship can survive", Elizabeth explained "How will the trust be removed?", Yara asked. "How about we discuss this over hunting some innocents", Elizabeth suggested. "I am in no mood for games I need answers", Yara declared. "Oh will you loosen up for this plan to work you have to confidently deliver... you'll be better after seeing the pain in the eyes of innocents come on loosen up let's have some fun", Elizabeth encouraged. "well I guess you are right this time", Yara said with a smile. "Of course I'm right let's get going", Elizabeth laughed, as the two flamed out.
"Hey Heavenly", Tori greeted. Heavenly was playing her game boy. "Oh hi Tori", Heavenly said. "What's wrong? you sound upset", Tori observed. "I wish everyone would stop telling me that I am upset I am not upset", Heavenly snapped. "Would have fooled me", Tori stated. Earning an angry glare from Heavenly. "What? you are clearly angry and you are just lying about it". "I am not lying and you're annoying", Heavenly said, immediately regretting what she said. "No you're the one that's annoying you know what I'm leaving", Tori screamed. "Tori wait please... I didn't mean that I am sorry... and yes I am upset", Heavenly said in remorse. "what happened?", Tori asked in a soft tone. "I don't know if I should talk about it". "Heavenly you can trust me", Tori assured. "Well you have to promise not to tell anyone", Heavenly whispered.. "I promise I won't tell anyone", Tori said, as she sat next to Heavenly. "well I saw my dad kissing someone else the other day". "Are you sure it was him?", Tori asked. "yes it was him ...I don't want to believe it happened but I know what I saw", Heavenly said, as she started to cry. "I thought he loved your mom", Tori commented giving Heavenly a hug. "I am so confused", Heavenly sobbed. "It's OK", Tori comforted. "what do you think I should do?", Heavenly asked. "Maybe talk to your mom about it", Tori suggested. "But she's going to be hurt and I don't want her to be hurt". "Ok do you know who the woman was?", Tori asked. "No I didn't really see her very well", Heavenly said, as she thought back. "Maybe talk to your dad about it", Tori suggested. "No I don't want to talk to him..I wish I never saw that", Heavenly stated. "Saw what?", Phoebe suddenly asked. "What's going on?". "Umm nothing", Heavenly lied. "No no you're lying...why are you crying?", Phoebe asked, she could feel Heavenly's hurt and confusion. "Mommy I said everything's fine", Heavenly argued. "HEAVENLY PATRICIA HALLIWELL", Phoebe hollered. "Oh she used your full name", Tori commented. Heavenly slapped her arm. "Mommy please calm down I'll explain". "Umm I think it's time for me to go home now", Tori stated. "Oh no don't not until the two of you explain what's going on", Phoebe said. "I saw something the other day... I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to burden you", Heavenly said, as she was starting to tear up again. "oh... you know you can always talk to me about anything", Phoebe said, as her tone softened. "It's Emily I heard her saying awful things about me", Heavenly half lied. It wasn't a full lie because Emily did talk about her and made fun of Heavenly and her friends, but it wasn't the reason she was upset Tori was a little shocked but then was able to fix her face and play along before Phoebe could notice. "Emily again? Oh I'm sorry baby I am going to see if me or daddy can go to your school", Phoebe stated. "Umm no it's ok I'm over it I was just thinking about it and it made me sad". "Are you sure don't you think it's better to address it to the principal", Phoebe asked. "No it's ok she doesn't matter anyway", Heavenly said, trying to brush it off. Phoebe could feel that Heavenly was lying to her and needed to get to the bottom of this. "Alright...well I'll be resting in my room if any of you need me", Phoebe announced, as she kissed Heavenly head and left. "You shouldn't have lied to her", Tori stated. "I just couldn't tell her", Heavenly said sadly, as Tori gave her a comforting hug.
"Hey Prue can I have a word please?", Cole asked. A few days had past and Heavenly was still avoiding interaction with Cole. "Yeah", Prue said, as she closed her laptop and gave Cole her undivided attention. "It's Heavenly... she's upset with me and she hardly talks to me", Cole started. "maybe it's not you maybe something happened at school", Prue reasoned. "No it's me and she looks like she's about to cry whenever she sees me and when I went to pick her from school the other day she wouldn't look at me and she wouldn't even let me hug her... It's like I did something wrong", Cole explained. "That's strange.. and Paige mentioned that one time Heavenly went outside to ride her bike and Heavenly ran into the manor and she was really upset.. but Heavenly wouldn't talk about it", Prue revealed. "Really? how come she never told me or Phoebe?", Cole asked. "She said that it could just be kids stuff maybe some kid outside get her upset and that's what I thought too I haven't really paid close attention to her behaviour". "It's bothering me to see my daughter hurt", Cole said. "don't worry we'll get to the bottom of this", Prue promised. "I hope so".
"Heavenly I want to play", Sophia called. "Not now I'm watching TV", Heavenly replied. "Mommy I want to play", The two year old whined. "How about you play with your toys", Phoebe suggested. "No", Sophia stated. "Heavenly can you please call your father to see when he is going to be home?", Phoebe asked, she was feeling extremely tired and was laying on the couch. "I don't feel like speaking to him", Heavenly blurted out immediately regretting it. "What do you mean by that?", Phoebe asked, as she sat up. "I was just joking I'll go call him", Heavenly stated, trying to laugh it off. "No you're lying...Heavenly you are going to stop this nonsense right now and you're going to tell me what's going on", Phoebe ordered. "Nothing's going on mommy", Heavenly said, as she avoided eye contact. "Mommy", Sophia whined. "One second baby..Heavenly look me in the eyes and tell me why you've been avoiding your father", Phoebe ordered. Heavenly couldn't look her mother in the eye she just started to cry. "Heavenly what's the matter?", Phoebe asked, as she immediately went to her side. "I don't want to talk about it", Heavenly sobbed. "Heavenly you can always talk to me about anything you know...I know you've been lying and I can see how it's hurting you but it will get better when you talk about it", Phoebe assured. Seeing how upset her big sister was, Sophia shimmered on her lap and gave her a big hug and kiss on the cheek. "Thanks Sophia", Phoebe said. Sophia smiled. "Here baby", Phoebe said, as she handed Sophia her baby snack. "Thank you", Sophia said, as she shimmered herself to her play carpet as she ate her snack. Phoebe smiled in response. "Heavenly you can talk to me you don't have to go through this alone", Phoebe said, wiping some tears from Heavenly's face. "Ok...so the other day when I went to ride my bike...I saw daddy kissing another woman", Heavenly revealed, as the mother and daughter connected eyes. Phoebe was puzzled and didn't know what to say. "Are you sure it was him?", Phoebe asked, not knowing what to believe. "Yes it was... I didn't know what to say I thought loved you why did he do this", Heavenly sobbed. "It's alright baby... did he see you?", Phoebe asked. "I don't think so I ran into the house as they were still kissing... I love daddy but I'm hurt that he did that", Heavenly cried. Even though she was just 10 years old she knew her daddy shouldn't be kissing other people. "It's ok baby... now I know there must be a perfectly good explanation behind this and I don't want you to ignore your daddy he loves you so much", Phoebe reasoned. "why can't I ignore him he did something bad or don't you believe me", Heavenly said. "I believe you but I know that daddy will never cheat on me or try to hurt me", Phoebe stated. "and how are you sure?", Heavenly asked. "I know the love I feel from him and it's real and I believe that there is an explanation". Heavenly nodded, as she felt relieved. "I'm sorry for lying to you I just didn't know how to say it", Heavenly said. "It's alright baby just know that you don't ever have to keep your pain to yourself you can always talk to someone me daddy or your aunts and uncles we are all here for you", Phoebe assured. "I love you mommy", Heavenly said, as she gave Phoebe a big hug. "I love you so much baby", Phoebe said, allowing tears to fall down.
Tori made her way to Yara's chambers, she was still trying to find the picture of her grandmother, she needed to be with her. 'You could use a spell', Tori thought, as an idea came to mind. "Tori", Roman suddenly called. "oh you surprised me", Tori said, startled at his sudden presence. "what are you doing here Roman?". "I just wished you would stop this I am your father you know", Roman said, with a smiled. "whatever I have to go", Tori said. "Not until you tell me what you are doing in your mother's chambers you know she forbade you coming in here without her supervision", Roman reminded. "I don't have to answer to you", Tori stated, as she pushed passed him and left before more questions could be asked. " She's just like her mother", Roman chuckled.
After dinner Phoebe still couldn't contact Cole, and was getting annoyed. She felt that Cole loved her, and didn't understand why he would cheat on her. 'maybe he doesn't find me attractive anymore I'm so fat now', Phoebe thought, as her insecurities crippled her thoughts. "Paige can you please watch the kids I have to go somewhere", Phoebe asked. "you know you shouldn't be driving now", Paige advised. "I have to see Cole he isn't picking my calls", Phoebe said. "Let me take you", Paige suggested, she didn't feel comfortable with Phoebe driving as she was now six months pregnant. "But who will watch the kids Piper is too pregnant to look after everyone", Phoebe reasoned. "All the babies are sleeping is just Heavenly she has to worry about... and plus Prue is on her way home", Paige explained. "Alright let me tell her", Phoebe said. "no it's alright I got it", Paige said, as she orbed upstairs to inform Piper, and Piper agreed. Paige and Piper orbed to Cole's work and it was now 7pm and Cole still hadn't contacted Phoebe or anyone. Phoebe and Paige made it up the elevator to Cole's office. Phoebe observed that his assistant wasn't around normally the assistant would be the one to inform Cole that he had visitors. The duo made their way into Cole's office. They could see a woman sitting on Cole's lap and they were making out. "what the hell", Paige hollered, immediately breaking the kiss. "so it's true", Phoebe said, as tears fell down. "How could you do this", Paige scolded. "don't you know anything about privacy", The woman stated. There was something familiar about this woman but Phoebe couldn't put her finger on it. "I thought you loved me", Phoebe sobbed. Cole and the woman stood up. "Phoebe I can explain", Cole said. "save it", Phoebe snapped. Cole then walked towards Phoebe. "DON'T COME ANY CLOSER STAY AWAY FROM ME", Phoebe screamed. Cole didn't listen as he kept going closer. All her hormones were going crazy as she was crying. Before Cole could step any closer Phoebe then threw an energy ball as he screamed and blew up. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE", The woman screamed. "No no no". Phoebe cried. Paige was trying to console Phoebe but couldn't help to notice how the woman reacted to Cole being vanquished. "I didn't mean it I swear", Phoebe was now hysterical. "Phoebe we have to go", Paige stated, as she held Phoebe and orbed out. "STUPID WITCH I AM GOING TO MAKE YOU PAY", The woman screamed.
Phoebe was still crying hysterically as they arrived at the manor. Prue, Piper and Heavenly ran to the living room where Paige was holding Phoebe. "mommy what's wrong?", Heavenly asked. "Paige what happened?", Prue asked. "Heavenly can you please go upstairs honey", Paige said, not wanting Heavenly to know what had just happened. "NO I want to stay with mommy", Heavenly stated, as she continued to hold Phoebe who was still crying out with her body trembling. "Phoebe try to calm down honey", Prue soothed. "Please I want to know what happened to my mommy", Heavenly said, she started to cry. "Well I think she may-", Paige was cut off with the front door opening, and a familiar voice filled the silence. "Cole", Phoebe called out. Cole ran into the living room as he could hear the fear in Phoebe's voice. "what's going on here?", Cole asked. "you survived", Phoebe said as she ran into his arms. "take it easy baby", Cole stated sweetly. "Cole how could you?", Paige asked. "Yeah I'm sorry I didn't call but my phone died and I was in an emergency meeting", Cole explained. "No you know what she's asking", Phoebe said angrily. "we saw you with someone else.. and Phoebe was so angry that she vanquished you", Paige explained, feeling confused. Cole chuckled in confusion. "That's not possible because I just finished the meeting and came straight home". "But we saw you die... I threw an energy ball at you", Phoebe said, even more confused that everyone else. "Phoebe an energy ball wouldn't even kill me and plus you don't form energy balls", Cole stated. "It was the baby... it's like the baby was protecting me from you... the energy ball appeared in my hands and I threw it I'm so sorry baby", Phoebe said, as she started crying again. "No it wasn't Cole it looks like someone took Cole's form to mess with us", Prue reasoned. "So daddy you weren't kissing that woman?", Heavenly asked. "I would never do that.. I love your mommy with my life", Cole confessed, as Heavenly went into his arms. "I'm sorry for not talking you about it". "It's alright baby I love you so much", Cole said, as tears of joy fell, Heavenly was finally talking to him "Wait so Heavenly you saw your daddy kissing another woman?", Piper asked. "Yes it was when I went to ride my bike". "Oh that day...that's so sick", Paige stated. "I am going to find that sick demon and vanquish it", Prue stated. "yeah but Phoebe you need to rest you have been crying a lot... I'll take her to bed", Cole said. Phoebe nodded, as she let Cole hold her, and shimmer her to their bedroom.
"ELIZABETH", Yara called. "you called", Elizabeth stated, as she shimmered next to Yara. "That witch killed him you have to bring him back", Yara ordered. "Well why should I the plan is fine without him", Elizabeth said. "If you don't bring him back I am done working with you", Yara threatened. "Oh no need to get your panties in a bunch", Elizabeth said, as she waved her hands and Cole came back still screaming from the vanquish before realizing where he was. "Oh that was painful", he said. Elizabeth waved her hand again as he became himself again. "Roman are you alright?", Yara asked. "well I am not dead so I guess I'm good", Roman stated. "well what do you we do now she obviously knows that this was a set up", Yara said. "This is when you come in and then when the child realizes who you are she'll want nothing to do with your daughter", Elizabeth stated. "I like this plan but how do you know it would work?", Yara asked. "Oh ye with little faith", Elizabeth commented with smile.
"Tori where have you been?", Heavenly asked, as Tori shimmered in her room. "Around so where you able to talk to your mom?", Tori asked. "Yes and we found out that someone was pretending to be my dad... my dad didn't do it", Heavenly explained smiling. "Wow did you find out who?", Tori asked. "we don't know my mom vanquished the person with an energy ball", Heavenly said. "What how does she have demonic powers?". "It's the baby's powers", Heavenly revealed. "what baby?", Tori asked, still confused. "The baby inside my mom". "Ohh but how can she use its powers though?', Tori asked, as she was catching on. "I don't know and I don't care as long as my mommy and daddy are happy again", Heavenly stated happily. "You are right". "So were you able to find anything of your grandmother?", Heavenly asked. "No I can't find anything... and whenever I want to find it someone will always interrupt me it's so annoying", Tori complained. "I can help you look", Heavenly offered. "no it's too dangerous if my mom finds you she won't hesitate to kill you", Tori warned. "maybe I can ask my Aunt Paige to help us and she can orb us out when there's trouble". "No Roman is a Dark lighter and he won't hesitate to shoot her with his arrow", Tori added. "Well you can be on the look out and distract them while we look", Heavenly suggested. "Maybe but right now can we play I miss playing with you", Tori said. "OK I can ask my mom if we could go out and ride my bike", Heavenly said, as Tori nodded in approval.
"This just doesn't make sense since when do demons try to break marriages", Prue stated. The four sisters were in the attic discussing about the Cole situation. "Maybe they know they can't defeat us physically so they have to get us emotionally", Piper stated. "I don't think they have that much patience though", Phoebe said. "you'd be surprised... some demons are actually busy trying destroy us so it hurts maybe killing is too easy", Paige said. "But this is personal since when do demons ever go for our personal lives?", Phoebe asked rhetorically. "you got a point this attack seems too personal", Paige said. "but what about when Cole was sent to kill us by being with you?", Piper asked. "No that wasn't personal though the Triad just wanted us dead because we are the charmed ones... but with this one they wanted Phoebe to be hurt thinking Cole was cheating that's personal", Prue reasoned, everyone nodded in agreement. "but why who would want to hurt me this bad?", Phoebe asked. "well I have two names that come in my mind Delante and Elizabeth Cole's mother", Paige stated. "I am going to kill that bastard", Prue stated. "who?", Phoebe asked. "Delante of course",Prue accused. "well we don't know if he is truly behind this", Piper reasoned. "True but he is the number suspect", Prue said. "I am not Delante's big fan especially after what he did but I don't think he is behind this", Phoebe reasoned. "then who do you think is behind this?", Paige asked. "I don't know yet", Phoebe said.
"Yes", Heavenly squealed as she was winning the game. "Heavenly are you done with your homework?", Phoebe asked by Heavenly's doorway. "yes mommy", Heavenly replied her eyes glued to her game boy. "alright dinner will be ready soon", Phoebe announced, before making her way downstairs. "Ok mommy", Heavenly called. "no no no", Heavenly squealed. Suddenly Heavenly could hear her room door being closed. "Mommy?", Heavenly called as she continued to play her game. "No guess again", An unfamiliar voice said. "who are you?", Heavenly asked dropping her game. "Calm down I mean no harm I am basically family", Yara stated. "what do you want?", Heavenly asked, ignoring her question. "If I were you I'd keep my voice down", Yara advised, as she sat on Heavenly's bed. "And why should I listen to you?". "Well what does the name Tori mean to you?", Yara said, with a taunting smile. "Tori? why does it matter?", Heavenly said, as she was slowly backing towards the door. "Let's say I am very close to her", Yara stated, stopping Heavenly in her tracks. "We've actually met briefly before but the second time you ran away crying like a baby", Yara taunted with a smile. "Second time? I don't know if I have-", Heavenly said, as she was hit with a thought. "Wait..you are Tori's mother..this can't be". "And you are smarter than I thought", Yara taunted. "What do you want from me?", Heavenly asked. "My terms are simple..I need you to stay away from my daughter", Yara stated. "Or what? you aren't my mother", Heavenly boldly stated. "I know but I can make yours go away and I can break your family if I wanted to", Yara threatened. "You can't kill my mom she is a charmed", Heavenly said, as tears glazed her eyes. "I wouldn't hold my breath...remember when me and your daddy kissed oh that's right you saw it and you ran away crying", Yara laughed. "STOP IT THAT WASN'T MY DAD", Heavenly screamed, as the tears fell down freely. Yara laughed. "Well little witch you know what to do..if my daughter comes around tell her that you hate her and don't want to see her again or I'll make your family pay Ta ta", Yara stated, before she shimmered out. By this time Cole, Prue and Phoebe came into Heavenly's room in response to her screams. "Heavenly who are you talking to what's going on?", Cole asked, as he took Heavenly in his arms. "No no I can't do it I cant do it please make it stop", Heavenly sobbed. "Heavenly baby please breathe", Phoebe soothed. Heavenly just continued to repeat how she couldn't do it in serious of sobs. This went on for about 5 to 10 minutes straight, before Heavenly was able to calm down. "Heavenly what's going on?", Prue asked. Heavenly just buried her face in her dad's arms as she was still crying softly. "Did a demon try to hurt you?", Cole asked. Heavenly shook her head no. "I don't want to talk about it", Heavenly mumbled. "Alright you don't have to talk about it right now but always remember that you can always tell us anything", Phoebe stated. Heavenly nodded. "Maybe after dinner she'll be able to talk to us", Prue said. "Yeah hopefully...come on honey let's go have dinner", Cole said. Heavenly nodded, as they all left the room.
