Oh and not to give it away or anything but yes Luke really does like PJ he doesn't have any alterior motives.
Down in the kitchen everyone was helping Piper with the final touches for lunch. Phoebe and Coop were setting the table, Leo was putting the sandwiches on a serving plate, Chris was tossing the salad, Piper was washing dishes, and Paige was peeling Clementine oranges for the fruit salad.
Paige looked up when PJ sulked into the room.
"What's the matter PJ?"
"Oh nothing." PJ said grabbing an orange and sitting down next to Paige.
"Nothing is always something."
PJ couldn't help but smile at the phrase she had heard hundreds of times before from her Aunt Paige.
"No really, I'm fine." She said with a slight laugh as she started to peel the orange.
Piper dried her hands with a dish towel walked over to PJ, putting a reassuring hand on her future granddaughter's shoulder.
"You can tell us anything PJ. We'll listen."
When they heard a laugh from the other side of the room, all three of them turned toward Phoebe and Coop. Coop was holding the napkins just out of Phoebe's grasp with a sly smile on his face.
Paige and PJ rolled their eyes.
Piper shook her head with a grin. "Well most of us will listen."
PJ laughed and Phoebe turned around to see what was so funny. "What?"
The puzzled look on Phoebe's face only made PJ laugh harder.
Phoebe looked back and forth between here sisters. "What? What did I do?"
PJ felt bad that she was completely lost. "You didn't do anything Phoebe." She then turned back toward Piper and Paige. "And really, I'm fine."
Piper shrugged and grabbed the rest of the food that needed to make its way over to the table. "Alright I believe you. Now let's get this meal started."
They had all just taken their seats in the dining room and began to fill their plates, when the doorbell rang.
Piper looked around the table. "Are we expecting anyone?"
Phoebe shook her head when no one said anything. "Not that I know of. It could be Billie. She said she may stop over later."
The doorbell rang again, this time followed by a harsh knocking. Piper made her way to the entrance. "Alright! Alright! I'm coming."
After a few minutes Piper came back into the room with a weird look on her face. "It's Inspector Morris."
Darryl walked into the room. "Hey guys."
PJ jumped up, startled by the familiar voice. In one quick movement she threw out her hands and froze the unsuspecting police detective.
"Demon!! Piper! Why did you let him in the house?!"
Piper was shocked by the young witch's behavior. "Whoa PJ! Calm down. Morris is not a demon. It is a little weird that he showed up out of the blue, but he's not a demon. He's a good guy; A really good guy."
PJ narrowed her eyes suspiciously at her Grams. "Are you sure?"
"Yes we're sure. Why wouldn't we be?" Paige questioned.
Phoebe stood up looking between the frozen Morris and her grandniece. "PJ, who do you think he is?"
"Well, the only person I know that looks like him is a demon. And the only inspector I know of that knew about us, well about you around this time in the past, were Henry and Uncle Andy."
Piper and Phoebe both gasped and in unison shouted "Uncle Andy?"
Everyone else in the room was lost and Coop was the first to ask the question they were all thinking. "Who's Andy?"
Piper looked into PJ's eyes. "You mean Andy Tredeau?"
PJ nodded and Phoebe was just as shocked as Piper. "Prue's Andy? The man who died to protect us from Rodriguez and Tempus, Andy?"
Now PJ was the one that was confused. She looked back and forth between Piper and Phoebe.
"No, I'm talking about Aunt Prue's husband Andy, whose partner Darryl died protecting you from them."
Piper and Phoebe locked eyes and Piper stared to shake her head back and forth. Piper turned back to PJ.
"But that's not what happened. Prue and Andy never got married because Andy was killed, and the 'demon' you just froze is Inspector Darryl Morris. Darryl didn't die that day, Andy did. And if what you say is true and Darryl did die instead of Andy, then how on earth can he be a demon in the future if he's already dead?"
PJ was completely shocked by what Piper had just said. "That's Darryl?"
The young woman walked over to the frozen cop and muttered to herself as she walked around him. "Then that explains why I couldn't vanquish him; He's a sheath demon."
Leo heard what she had said. "A what?"
PJ explained. "A sheath demon. They are demons that take over the bodies of the dead. They…" She paused looking back at six extremely interested faces. "…wait I shouldn't be telling you this. Especially since your past is so different than mine."
She looked back over to Darryl suspiciously. "Are you sure he's not a demon?"
"Yes." Phoebe said sitting back down across from a wide eyed Chris.
PJ was satisfied with her answer and was just about to unfreeze him, when a thought crossed her mind. She looked over at Piper with tears in her eyes. "So that means that Uncle Andy is dead?"
Stunned at this realization PJ slowly sat back down. Piper wrapped her granddaughter in a tight hug. "Oh sweetie…"
The young girl pulled away from Piper's embrace. "And Aunt Prue is dead too?"
Piper wiped away the stray tear that had rolled down the girl's cheek. "PJ… Prue died almost six years ago."
