Chapter 7 - Open wounds
Cole woke up, he rubbed his eyes, the clock read 3 am, and he noticed Phoebe was nowhere to be seen. 'She's probably in the bathroom', He thought. He made his way out of the room to bathroom, but no one was in there. 'Maybe she's grabbing some water', Cole reasoned with himself. After relieving himself in the bathroom, Cole quietly made his way downstairs. On his way to kitchen he noticed a small light in the living room, he immediately made his way to the living room, and Phoebe could be seen sitting down on the couch with her face buried in her hands. "Phoebe", Cole called softly. Phoebe looked up and immediately could tell that she had been crying. "What's wrong baby?", Cole asked, as he immediately went to her side. "Nothing I'm fine..you should go back to sleep", Phoebe said, as she tried to stop the tears. "You can always talk to me about how you're feeling", Cole reminded. "I know... I just didn't want to disturb your sleep". "You aren't disturbing my sleep anything that bothers you also bothers me", Cole stated, as they made eye contact. "With everything that happened... I wasn't able to properly mourn our baby", Phoebe said, as she started to cry. "I'm so sorry for everything you went through...and I'm sorry I wasn't able to protect you and the baby", Cole said, as tears fell down his eyes. "It's not your fault Cole", Phoebe said, as she kissed his cheek. "I just wish I was strong enough...and I would have saved you that day", Cole said. "Stop blaming yourself it wasn't your fault...maybe we can have another baby some day", Phoebe said, as she wiped his tears. "Do you want another baby?", Cole asked, it was his turn to wipe her tears. "Yes I have always wanted a lot of children...I'm terrified to loose another baby...but I know it will be ok...I have to believe it", Phoebe said. "When you're ready we can have as much babies as you want", Cole said. "I think I'm ready to have another baby", Phoebe said. "I love you so much and I will be there with you every step of the way", Cole stated, before they shared a long passionate kiss. Before the kiss could intensify, footsteps could be heard of someone descending the stairs. "Mommy...daddy", Heavenly called. "We're in the living room", Cole called, before Heavenly made her way there. "What are you doing up so early?", Cole asked. "I wanted to check on mommy", Heavenly said, as she rubbed her eyes. "Why do you need to check on me?", Phoebe asked, as she took Heavenly in her arms. "Just to make sure you're ok", Heavenly said, as she wrapped her arms around Phoebe. Heavenly was still traumatized about what happened, and would sometimes still have nightmares about that day. "I'm fine baby...now it's time to go back to bed", Phoebe said, as she kissed her forehead. "Ok...what were you doing here?", Heavenly asked, as she was very sleepy. "We were talking", Cole replied, as he carried Heavenly who was already falling back asleep in his arms. After turning off the lights Cole shimmered upstairs with Phoebe and Heavenly in his arms. Cole took Heavenly back in bed next to Tori who was sound asleep, before he and Phoebe went to their room and closed the door behind them.
The Halliwell family decided to go to Golden gate park for a picnic to celebrate Cole's return. Heavenly and Tori ran around the grass with Wyatt and Sophia. The rest of the adults were relaxing not too far from the children. Prue was holding Aria as she was in Andy's arms. Phoebe and Cole were cuddling and would share a kiss once in a while. Leo carried Chris in his arms, and Piper was also in his arms. Paige decided to bring her boyfriend Henry, and she was in his arms. "Heavenly can you do a dance trick?", Tori asked. "What do you want me to do?", Heavenly asked. "Those flips you do all the time", Tori said, as she held Sophia and Wyatt's hands so they wouldn't be in Heavenly's way. "Here I go", Heavenly said, before she did a side aerial, then she did a round off back hand spring. "Wow", Tori exclaimed, when Heavenly landed. "Thank you thank you", Heavenly joked as she bowed. "That was so cool I wish I could do those tricks", Tori said. "I can show you how to do a side aerial or a front walkover if you like", Heavenly suggested. "I wish but I'm not flexible at all", Tori laughed. "Heavenly let's play", Sophia said, as she tugged Heavenly's arm. "What do you want to play?", Heavenly asked, as she kissed her cheek. Sophia shrugged. "So are all of you magical?", Henry asked. Paige had told him the family secret, and he was fascinated by it. "Yes", Prue replied. "Except me I'm mortal", Andy said. "What about the children?", Henry asked. "They are magical too", Leo replied. "Wow that's amazing what you do", Henry said. "We have to be on our way.. we are going to see a movie", Paige announced, as she and Henry stood up. "Have fun", Phoebe said, as Cole kissed her neck. "Will you two stop it", Piper said. "Sorry I just can't resist her", Cole said. "Well try or get a room", Piper stated, as Phoebe playfully stuck out her tongue. "Bye Heavenly and Tori", Paige called, as her and Henry made their way to the car. "Bye", Heavenly and Tori chorused. After a couple hours the rest of the family decided to call it a day and go home.
"I need to find her", Tori stated. Shaniah, Akita, Tori and Heavenly were at Shaniah's house. "But how can we scry for her if you don't even have her picture?", Heavenly said. "I think we can go to the police", Shaniah suggested. "No they wouldn't be able to help", Tori said. "Now your mom is gone... we can go look through her chambers", Heavenly said, as she couldn't help but feel the the guilt once again. "It's not your fault...my mom was evil", Tori said. "Can we come with you to your mom's chambers?", Akita asked. "No it's too dangerous", Heavenly reasoned. "But her mom isn't going to be there", Shaniah said, as she really wanted to go. "Yes my mom won't be there but it's the underworld other demons will be there", Tori said. "But we have the two of you to protect us...please I really want an adventure", Shaniah begged, as Akita nodded in agreement. "I don't know", Heavenly said. "Please we can tell my mom that we're going to the park then we will go there", Shaniah said. "And we can be quick", Akita added. Heavenly looked at Tori for an answer. "Fine you can come", Tori said. "YES", Shaniah and Akita chorused, as they gave each other a high five. "But you have to stay close to us or you could be killed", Heavenly warned. "Alright let's go ask my mom if we could go to the park", Shaniah said, as the girls made their way to the living room where Nicole was watching TV. "Mommy can we go to the park?", Shaniah asked. "I don't think so Heavenly and Akita's mom didn't give me permission", Nicole said. "Can I call her and ask?", Heavenly asked. "Yeah sure the phone is over there". Heavenly then dialed Phoebe's number, and after a couple rings Phoebe answered, "Hey mommy... I'm doing good what about you...I wanted to ask if I can go to the park with my friends...please mommy we are kind of tired of staying inside...we won't be alone we will be together...yay thank you mommy...love you too..bye". A big smile appeared on Heavenly's face. "She said yes". "Ok..Are you going to call your mom Akita?", Nicole asked. "No it's fine as long as I am not going alone she's ok with it", Akita said. "Alright I give you girls an hour and after you come back I have to drop you all home", Nicole said, as all the girls nodded. "Thank you mommy", Shaniah said, as she gave Nicole a big hug. "You're welcome baby... remember only an hour". "Ok see you in an hour", Shaniah said, as the girls wore their shoes before leaving the house.
Prue laughed as Andy kissed her neck. "You have to get to work", Prue laughed. "I know but I love being with you", Andy said. "I know baby but you have to get to work or you'll be late", Prue said. "Alright but it's on tonight", Andy said. "Yes sir", Prue said, as they shared a passionate kiss. "I love you", Andy said. "I love you too", Prue said, before Andy left the manor. "Phoebe...Piper", Prue called as she could hear movement somewhere in the house. "I'm in the kitchen", Phoebe said, as Prue made her way to where Phoebe was. "Where's Piper?", Prue asked. "She's feeding Chris... what are you up to?", Phoebe asked, as she took a sip of her drink. "Nothing just trying to relax", Prue said. "What's up? is there something you want to talk about?", Phoebe asked, as she could feel that Prue was hiding something from her. "Nothing I'm good", Prue said. "Prue.. I know you are hiding something from me". Prue sighed. "Andy wants us to have another baby", Prue said. "Really? that's great... what's the problem?", Phoebe asked, due to Prue's reluctance in sharing it. "It's just after what happened to you-". "No Prue don't allow what happened to me stop you from creating your own family... Cole and I will get through this together... and you just focus ", Phoebe said. Prue smiled. "I know that one day you will have many children", Prue said, as Phoebe smiled.
Heavenly, Shaniah, Akita and Tori made their way through the underworld. "We should have gotten some potions for Shaniah and Akita", Tori whispered audibly. "Yeah but we would have gotten in trouble if we got caught... and I hate lying to my mom", Heavenly said. "You didn't lie though", Shaniah said. "Yes I did I told her we were going to the park". "Yeah.. but technically we went to the park we just decided to come here", Shaniah said. "Will you girls keep it down I wouldn't want a demon to catch us", Akita said. "Alright we're here.. now remember don't touch anything unless I tell you", Tori instructed, as they all entered Yara's chambers. "Wow this place beautiful", Shaniah exclaimed. "Yeah especially for demons", Akita added. "My mom was actually half human... but the last time I was here this place was a mess", Tori observed. "Maybe someone cleaned it up", Heavenly said. "No something isn't right", Tori said. "What do you mean?", Shaniah asked. "I have a very bad feeling", Tori shared. "Then let's get out of here", Heavenly said. "But we haven't found anything yet", Akita said. "We need to leave", Tori stated. Suddenly Yara walked in. Heavenly felt her heart skip a beat. "Mother? is that you?", Tori asked, as her eyes stung with tears. "In the flesh", Yara said, with a terrifying smile. "I think we should get out of here", Shaniah said, as she could feel blood pumping in her ears. "I thought you were... dead", Tori said, as her tears fell down her face. "Yes I was.. when you killed me but I'm back now". "I'm sorry", Tori sobbed. "We're sorry we have to be on our way now", Heavenly said, as her voice shook in fear. "Oh no I can't let you leave now... not after everything you've done to me", Yara said, as a sinister grin appeared on her face.
Phoebe was at home working on her column and she was the only one home with the children. All the children were at sleep and Phoebe was enjoying the quiet house, when she suddenly got the overwhelming feeling of dread. Same feeling she remembered feeling when Heavenly was just a baby. Phoebe frantically got her phone to call Nicole. "Hello Nicole how are you... I'm good... is Heavenly there?... Oh that's right they went to the park... how far away is the park from your house?... I have come get the kids... yeah there's no problem... thank you.. bye", Phoebe said, before ending the call. Phoebe frantically brought out her things. "LEO", Phoebe called. After a brief wait Leo orbed in. "Yes Phoebe", Leo said. "Can you please watch the kids I have to go get Heavenly", Phoebe said. "Is everything alright?", Leo asked, in response to the worry in her eyes. "No I have a bad feeling that all is not well with Heavenly", Phoebe explained. "It's ok just go and keep in touch", Leo said. "Thanks Leo they are all sleeping upstairs and I have already fed them", Phoebe said, as she grabbed her coat. "Don't worry they'll be fine", Leo assured. Phoebe smiled in appreciation before leaving the manor. Upon entering her car, Phoebe immediately dialed Cole's number, but was immediately sent to voicemail. "Hey Cole I think there might be something wrong with Heavenly.. I am on my way to Nicole's house please call me", Phoebe said, before ending the message.
Heavenly, Akita and Shaniah jumped out of the way dodging a fireball that was thrown at them. "MOTHER please STOP", Tori screamed. "Please let them go it's my fault not theirs", Heavenly pleaded. "SHUT UP", Yara roared, as she threw a fireball at Heavenly, this time it hit her arm. "HEAVENLY", Akita and Shaniah cried, as they went to her side. Heavenly cried in pain. "Mommy please I'm sorry...I promise to be good I'll do anything just let them go", Tori begged, as she went on her knees. "I have given you many chances and you betrayed your own mother... I will kill all them and you must watch them die", Yara stated. "Please let them go it's me you want.. just let them go", Heavenly sobbed. "No all of you will die", Yara stated, before she threw a fireball at Shaniah's arm. "NOO", Tori screamed, as Shaniah fell to the ground. "PLEASE STOP THIS", Heavenly cried. Yara laughed. "This place is covered by magic.. no one is going to be saving you today", Yara said, before she threw a fireball at Akita's arm, as she joined her friends on the floor. "Mommy please.. I'm sorry it was all my fault.. please forgive me", Tori sobbed. "You killed your own mother... so now you will watch all your friends die", Yara stated. Heavenly closed her eyes as she tried to see if she could get Phoebe to get a premonition. "Oh no you don't...mommy won't be saving you", Yara said, as she grabbed Heavenly by the back of her neck. "Haven't you caused enough pain", Heavenly grunted. "You've caused me more pain...because of you my daughter doesn't want to follow her destiny". "That's not true...she has always wanted to be good", Heavenly whispered. "LIAR", Yara roared, as she violently shook Heavenly until she vomited blood. "MOTHER STOP PLEASE", Tori screamed. "Leave her alone", Akita said, as she tried to step in but was pushed to the ground. "You spoiled little brat.. you have destroyed my family and you have turned my daughter against me", Yara said, as she hit Heavenly on the face throwing her to the ground. By this time Shaniah was loosing a lot of blood, and was fighting to stay alive. "Shaniah", Tori called. "I'm cold", Shaniah said. "Shaniah", Akita said, as she went to her side, her arm bled profusely, but the adrenaline was still keeping her going. "I HATE YOU", Yara screamed as she hit Heavenly across the face. "Tori go get help", Akita said. "If you leave Tori I will kill all of them", Yara stated. "Just let them go.. it's me you want", Heavenly said. Akita then got an idea, while Yara was still focused on Heavenly, Akita needed to think of a spell to go get help. "I'm going to try to get help", Akita whispered to Shaniah, who was fighting to keep her eyes open. Shaniah nodded weakly.
"How long have they been gone?", Phoebe asked. "They are supposed to be back now.. I gave them an hour", Nicole explained. "Which park did they go to?", Phoebe asked. "Just the park down the block it's like two minutes walk", Nicole said. "Let's go find them", Phoebe said, as they both left the house quickly. Upon entering the medium sized park kids were scattered everywhere, but Akita, Heavenly and Shaniah were nowhere in sight. "Oh my God", Phoebe exclaimed. "SHANIAH", Nicole hollered as she looked around frantically. "Nicole let's go they are not here", Phoebe said, trying to stay calm. "We have call the police", Nicole said. Phoebe frantically got out her phone and dialed the only number she could think of. "Hello Delante is Heavenly and her friends with you?... no they are missing... there were supposed to be in the park... meet me in the manor", Phoebe said, before turning off the phone. "So does he have them?", Nicole asked. "No but he's meeting us at my house let's go", Phoebe said. "What about the police?", Nicole asked. "Don't worry we can find them faster... and there's something you need to know", Phoebe said, as they entered Phoebe's car. "what?", Nicole asked, as she could feel her chest tighten in worry.
Meanwhile at the manor, Prue and Paige had just came back from work and Leo had filled them in and they immediately started scrying. Piper was still at work, but Prue had already informed her and she is trying to finish up. Leo had called Amber and Armani and they are on their way. "Anything?", Prue asked, Leo who was trying to sense her. "No", Leo said. "Where could she be", Prue said, as the door bell ran suddenly. Leo went to open the door to find Delante standing there. "Hey what are doing here?", Leo asked. "Phoebe called me to ask if I was with Heavenly... what happened to Heavenly?", Delante asked, as he entered the manor. "We're not sure yet", Leo said, as the duo walked to the living room where Prue and Paige who was scrying for Heavenly were. "What are you doing here?", Prue asked. "Phoebe called.. what happened to Heavenly and her friends?". "You need to leave now", Prue stated. "How many times do I have to say that I am sorry.. I did bad things but I promise I want to make it right", Delante said sincerely. "Prue let's give him a chance maybe he can help", Paige said. "I don't think we should trust him.. for all we know he could be the one behind their disappearance", Prue accused. "I am not... I know I don't deserve your trust or even attention for everything I have done.. but I promise I come in piece and I want to help", Delante said, as tears stung his eyes. "Prue maybe he can help.. let's give him a chance", Leo reasoned. "If we can't find her how can he stand a chance in finding her?", Prue asked. "I don't know but we can try", Delante said. "Ok", Prue said. "Thank you", Delante said. They immediately started brainstorming, and Amber and Armani arrived and joined in the brainstorm.
"Thank you", Shaniah said, Tori finished healing her, and she went and healed Akita. "Thank you", Akita said. "No don't heal me... she's hurt you if you do", Heavenly said, as held Tori's hand before she could heal her. "But you are bleeding too much... I don't want you to die", Tori sobbed. "How long do you think it will take before your mom comes back?", Shaniah asked. "I don't know but I know she must have used magic to lock us in", Tori said. "Please Heavenly let Tori heal you", Akita said. "But if we can't get out of here and she heals me...her mom will hurt her", Heavenly reasoned. "Not if we fight her together", Tori said. Heavenly shook her head. "Yes we have to stop her", Tori stated. "I don't want to hurt your mother", Heavenly said. Tori buried her face in her hands, as she didn't know what to do. "If we can get out of here we can get help", Shaniah said, as she frantically looked at door, as her hands trembled."Just let her heal you", Akita said. "Ok". Tori healed Heavenly immediately. "Thanks Tori", Heavenly said. "You're welcome". "How do we get out of here?", Shaniah asked. "How about you try to destroy it Heavenly", Tori said. "Ok stand back", Heavenly warned. The three girls moved back, as Heavenly used her icicles to try to break the barrier. "The magic is too powerful", Heavenly said, as she wasn't able to successfully remove the barrier. "What do we do now?'', Akita asked. "I have to try to contact my mom", Heavenly said. "How are you going to do that?'', Shaniah asked. "Through my empathy... I'll see if I can make her feel what I am feeling and send her into a premonition", Heavenly said. "Do you it's going to work?", Tori asked. "I have to try", Heavenly said, as she sat down and closed her eyes in concentration.
"So you are all magical beings? so you aren't humans?", Nicole asked, as she and Phoebe entered the manor. "No we are humans..we are just destined to save innocents", Phoebe explained. "Innocents? and what are you saving them from?", Nicole asked, as she was more interested than scared. "Innocents is anyone being attacked by demons warlocks any thing evil". "Wow..how do you all have normal lives?", Nicole asked, as they entered the living room where everyone were working. "We don't...any luck with the girls?", Phoebe asked. "No...hey Nicole", Prue greeted. "Hello", Nicole, as everyone gave their hellos and waves. Suddenly Cole's voice could be heard as he entered the manor. "Hey baby", Phoebe said, as they shared a hug. "Hey.. what's going on what happened?'', Cole asked. "Heavenly, Shaniah, Akita and Tori are missing", Paige said. "I know I got the message...hi Nicole", Cole said, as he gave everyone a look. "Don't worry she knows our secret", Phoebe said. "Yeah it's a lot to take in", Nicole said. "What if it isn't a demonic problem? what if someone kidnapped them", Prue asked. "Prue might be right it could be some crazy person", Paige reasoned. "No Tori and Heavenly would have defended them or Tori would have came and informed us", Cole said. "Maybe they don't want to use their powers because the person isn't a demon", Armani said. "True..but I have tried scrying and we can't find them", Paige said. "And I have tried sensing them and I can't find them", Leo said. Suddenly Phoebe was hit with a premonition, and in the premonition Yara could be seen beating Heavenly until Heavenly coughed up blood. "What did you see?", Delante asked. "It's Heavenly she's hurt..some lady was beating Heavenly up", Phoebe explained. "Did you see the other girls?", Nicole asked. "No it was really brief..and it felt like it was sent to me". "Do you think Heavenly sent the premonition to you?", Paige asked. "I wouldn't be surprised that little girl is powerful", Cole said. "Can you describe the woman that was beating Heavenly?'', Amber asked. "She's a brunette and she looks familiar..like I've seen her somewhere before...oh come to think of it...she looks like that woman Paige and I found kissing Cole at his office", Phoebe said. "Me? when?", Cole asked, as he didn't recall. "No not you someone pretending to be you", Phoebe clarified. "Oh no..Tori's mother it has to be her", Prue said. "Isn't she dead?", Piper asked. "This wouldn't be the first time demons come back", Paige stated. "We need to go to the underworld now", Prue said. "I think I might be able to find the place...when I was there Elizabeth took me there a few times", Cole said. "What can I do to help?", Nicole asked. "Can you please stay here and look after the children?", Phoebe asked. "Yes I'll help out too", Armani added. "yeah me too", Amber added. "Thank you", Prue said, as Phoebe and Piper nodded in appreciation. "I'm coming with you", Delante said. "I think it's best you stay", Cole said. "No I have to help get my daughter and her friends back", Delante stated. "Alright let's get going", Piper said. The sisters, Cole and Delante held hands before Paige orbed them to the underworld. Nicole gasped. "Don't worry you'll get used to it", Amber said.
Yara was back and she was trying to hit Heavenly with her fireballs, as Heavenly flew around the room. "MOMMY STOP", Tori cried, as she tried to pull Yara back. "You should have never healed her", Yara said. "Please mommy leave her alone", Tori pleaded, as Heavenly continued to dodge the fireballs being thrown at her. "You stupid brat..I'll kill one of them", Yara said, as she grabbed Shaniah's arm. "NO please don't hurt her", Heavenly said, as she lowered herself to the ground. This gave Yara the opportunity to throw a fireball at Heavenly who immediately fell against the wall hitting her head before becoming unconscious. "NO HEAVENLY", Shaniah cried. "She already contacted her mother.. they'll be here soon", Akita informed. Yara paused. "What did you say?", Yara asked, as she got up. "Umm", Akita said, as Yara's glare terrified her. "She said Heavenly's mom will soon be here..so please just stop", Tori said, as she stood in front of Akita. "This is your fault Tori...now more people will die", Yara said. "NO ROMAN HELP", Tori called, after a brief wait Roman appeared. "Yes my dear". "Please make her stop she's hurting my friends...if you care about me tell her to let us go", Tori begged. "Yara-". "Over my dead body will I ever let them go", Yara stated. "Looks like your wish is about to come true", Cole stated, as he and the others walked in. Shaniah and Akita immediately ran towards the group, as Piper held Shaniah who was crying, and Akita ran into Prue's arms. "Where's my daughter?", Phoebe asked, as she was ready to kill her. "She's over at the corner", Shaniah said, as she pointed to where Heavenly laid unconscious. "She isn't going anywhere until I finish teaching her a lesson", Yara stated, as a fireball appeared in her arms. Roman drew out his arrow. "And who's going to stop us?", Delante asked. "Heavenly", Paige called, as Heavenly immediately orbed into her arms. "NO", Yara roared, as she threw a fireball. Prue was able to send it back to Yara who jumped out of the way. "Is she alright?", Phoebe asked. "She's barely breathing", Paige said. "Take the kids home..Tori make sure to follow them", Cole stated. Roman tried shooting Paige with the arrow, but she was able to dodge it. "Go home so she can be healed ", Phoebe said, as the charmed ones, Cole and Delante started to fight Roman and Yara. "I'm so sorry this is all my fault", Tori cried, as she, Shaniah, Akita and Paige who was holding Heavenly ran out of Yara's chambers. "We will talk about this later Heavenly needs to be healed", Paige said, as they immediately orbed/ shimmered out.
"Heavenly needs healing", Paige called, immediately they arrived at the manor. Amber, Armani, Nicole, Andy and Leo ran into the living room. "Oh my God who did this to her?", Nicole asked. "My mother", Tori said, as Leo started to heal her. "What's taking so long?", Paige asked. "She's dying", Leo explained. "Here I'll join", Tori said, as she joined in. After a couple minutes, Heavenly coughed. "Oh my God", Amber exclaimed, as she held her daughter, who was crying. "Take it easy", Paige said, as she stopped Heavenly from getting up. "Where am I?", Heavenly asked. "You're safe now", Andy said, as he handed her a bottle of water. "Thank you", Heavenly said, as she chugged the water down. "I'm so glad you are all alright", Nicole said, as Shaniah went and gave her mom a big hug. After a little while the charmed ones, Delante and Cole shimmered into the manor. "Heavenly", Phoebe called, as she, Delante and Cole ran to Heavenly's side. "She's alright she just needs rest", Leo said. "Mommy daddy I'm so sorry", Heavenly said, as she was still crying. "What the hell were you thinking?", Phoebe asked, though she was glad her daughter was safe she was still furious. "Not right now Phoebe she needs her rest", Delante reasoned. "Then when...Heavenly I am really disappointed in you...you all could have been killed", Phoebe stated. Tori who was sitting in her corner started crying. "I'm sorry this is all my fault", Tori sobbed. "No it's my fault", Heavenly sobbed. "No it was also my fault", Shaniah said. At this point all the girls were crying. "It was my fault too", Akita added. "ENOUGH...Heavenly and Tori you know better", Phoebe scolded. "We thought she was dead", Heavenly reasoned. "BUT WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER DEMONS THEY WOULD HAVE KILLED YOU WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING", Phoebe screamed. "I'm sorry", Heavenly sobbed. "Phoebe that's enough..these girls have been through a lot today", Delante reasoned. "No Phoebe's right...girls you lied to all of us and put your lives in danger", Armani said. "I might be new to this magic thing..but Shaniah you knew about it and lied to me", Nicole said. "Heavenly we are only trying to protect you..you can't keep putting your life in danger...having powers doesn't make you invisible", Cole said. "What were you girls doing there?", Prue asked. "We wanted to help Tori find anything about Tori's grandma", Akita said. Phoebe buried her face in her hands. "Please we so sorry for lying...and they didn't force me to go I wanted to go...we're sorry", Shaniah said. Without saying a word, Phoebe left the living room. "We know you're sorry but we need you to understand the rules are there to protect you and not to punish you", Piper reasoned. "Tori we will help you find your grand mother but you have to follow our rules", Prue said. "I promise I won't put their lives in danger again", Tori said. "It's alright come here", Prue said, as Tori went into her arms, as her crying subsided. "Alright we have to be on our way..thank you for everything...you all are amazing for what you do", Nicole said. "Thank you..and thank you for keeping our secret", Paige said. "Don't worry the secret is safe with us", Nicole promised. "I'll walk you out", Piper said. "Bye", Shaniah said, before Piper walked out with her and Nicole. "And we must also be on our way", Amber said. "Alright have a great day", Paige said, as Piper also walked the trio out. "Heavenly I'm glad you're ok...don't worry your mother won't stay angry for long...I have to be on my way", Delante said. "Thank you", Heavenly said. "You're welcome honey", Delante said, as they shared a hug before he left. "Are you girls hungry?", Piper asked. "I'm ok", Tori said. "I'm fine too", Heavenly added. "You girls need to eat so you can rest well", Cole said. "Ok I'll eat", Heavenly said. "Me too", Tori said. "Go upstairs and freshen up and I'll get something started", Prue said. "Thank you", the girls chorused, as they held hands and made their way upstairs.
"Come on baby you have to finish your breakfast mommy has work", Phoebe said, as she was trying to feed Sophia. Suddenly Phoebe felt small arms wrap around her waist from behind. "Mommy I'm sorry for disappointing you", Heavenly said. "Good morning baby", Phoebe said, as she gave Heavenly a hug, before kneeling to her level. "You know I love you and I want you to be safe...I know you were trying to help Tori and that's ok..but you can't keep going on your own", Phoebe advised. "Yeah...I am so sorry..please forgive me". "It's alright baby..mommy isn't angry anymore", Phoebe said, as Heavenly lit up. "Thank you so much mommy", Heavenly said, as she released a few tears. "I will always love you no matter what don't ever forget that", Phoebe said, as she kissed Heavenly's cheek. "I love you so much..and I will never do that again", Heavenly stated. "I know...but you are grounded for a week", Phoebe stated. "But mommy I thought we were connecting", Heavenly said. Phoebe laughed. "Of course we are but you're still grounded..that means no TV games and toys...and no going over to Shaniah or Akita's house", Phoebe said. "What am I supposed to do when I'm bored?". "Focus on school and dance", Phoebe said. Heavenly sighed in response. "Now go get ready for school", Phoebe said, as she kissed Heavenly's forehead. "Ok mommy", Heavenly said, before she left the kitchen.
