"How about this?" Phoebe asked, before she read of a combination spell she wrote: "Daughter of tranquility/ We call you now in front of thee/ Come to us, we call you near/ Come to us and settle here."

"What spells did you combine?" asked Cole, his face scrunched up as he walked over to where Phoebe was sitting on the couch.

"Uh, to call a muse and to find a lost witch, why?" she asked, placing the paper on her lap as she looked up at Cole.

Cole sucked on his bottom lip and shook his head, waving his hand as he said, "No reason, it's just…different."

Phoebe sighed and handed Cole the spell, "Just make two more copies, please?"

Cole nodded and turned on his heel to find some more paper and a writing utensil downstairs, he returned five minutes later holding up three pieces of paper, "Got it."

"Alright people, stand back!" Piper exclaimed as she, Paige and Phoebe finished placing their five candles in a circle.

Cole handed out the spells, placed a kiss on Phoebe's mouth and too, stepped back. He and Leo watched from the doorway of the attic, unsure as to why they were seemingly afraid.

"Here goes nothin'." Piper muttered as she and her sisters shouted the spell.

There was a momentary blinding white light as white orbs swirled and settled into the center of the candle circle. After a few seconds of blinking away the spots, the girls looked up to see An-Ling standing in the middle of the circle perplexed.

The raven-haired woman smiled when she recognized the girls and stepped forward to hug each of them. After that was done she stepped back and asked, "Why am I here? Has something happened?"

"We need your help, An-Ling." Stated Piper her sisters nodded in agreement on each side of her.

"Of course. How can I help you?" she asked, much to Cole's surprise, she was very relaxed and calm.

Piper motioned towards the couch, offering her guest a seat. After An-Ling had settled on the couch, she looked up at the sisters expectantly.

"An-Ling, we need your help getting to and from Limbo in order to find Phoebe and Cole's son." Paige said quickly, nervous.

An-Ling cocked her head to the side, "Cole? I've met Phoebe of course, but I do not recall a Cole."

Cole stepped forward and offered his hand to shake; An-Ling did so with a small smile as Cole introduced himself, "Cole, Cole Turner. I'm Phoebe's…boyfriend?"

An-Ling chuckled softly as she said, "You sound unsure, Mr. Turner."

"Please, call me Cole and as for sounding unsure…it's a long story." Cole blushed as he wrapped his arm around a grinning Phoebe.

"Right, back to the point at hand. Can you help us?" Paige asked.

"After what you guys did with Yen-Lo and for my father, of course I'll help you." She said softly, her brown eyes twinkling mystically.


"Ready?" An-Ling asked Phoebe and Cole, both staring at the puddle of water apprehensively.

"I know I've done this before but it's still creepy…" Phoebe muttered, clutching Cole's hand tightly.

"Yeah, well I've done a lot of things in my lifetime, and jumping into a puddle wasn't one of them." Cole whispered back, a grin on his handsome face.

"Let's go." An-Ling said, smiling as she held onto Phoebe's hand and jumped into the large puddle of water they created in the attic.

"Leo, should they have gone?" Piper asked, worried.

Paige rolled her eyes and threw her hands up, "Now you ask that."

Leo chuckled and nodded, "Don't worry, it's meant to be."

"What does that mean?" Piper asked, glaring at her husband.

"Nothing." Leo quipped quickly, staring at the puddle in which the others had escaped into.


Cole and Phoebe immediately looked around at their surroundings the second they found their feet touching ground. They felt a sudden relaxation and peacefulness overcome their bodies as they took in the swaying trees, the luscious green grass and flowers abundant all around them.

"Where would he be?" Cole asked softly, afraid to shatter the serenity of the area.

"Let's just start looking." Phoebe whispered back, her brown eyes moist as she reveled in the beauty that appeared underneath her feet, above her head and all around.

Cole nodded as he set off in one direction, Phoebe took off in another and An-Ling started forward, parting the large leaves of surrounding trees. After ten minutes of endless searching, Cole and Phoebe found themselves meeting each other in a clearing.

"We must've gone in a circle," Cole muttered, running a hand through his damp hair. He looked at the placid pond they came upon, a small waterfall sending a showering spray in their direction.

"Well, let's keep looking. I'm not leaving without our son."

"I know." Cole turned on his heel and took off again as did Phoebe.

Meanwhile, An-Ling came upon a small cave. She crawled inside and found a small hand made basket. She felt her heart skip a beat when she looked inside; although it was empty it contained a blue, baby blanket. She held the small article to her chest as she sat back on her haunches.

"Someone else is here." She whispered, "Someone has to be. The baby certainly didn't make the basket himself."

An-Ling crawled back out of the brown cave, and looked around. The clear sky hid no rays of the sun, causing the large yellow orb to bear down on the three occupants of the bountiful forest.

Cole had removed his upper clothing, having folded them neatly and placed them on large rock. He felt sweat trickling down the small of his back and shuddered, the sun was relentless. "I hope he's not out in the sun…" Cole whispered, looking up at the large offending object quickly before casting his eyes askance at the rocky ground.

Phoebe had paused and gazed at the large pond she found herself at once again, she shook her head and pursed her lips. After she put her hair up into a messy bun, she caught a glimpse of Cole coming out of the words, shirtless.

"Wow, that is something I would love to see everyday." She growled when he stopped in front of her, his toned muscles covered in sheen of sweat.

Cole grinned and ran a hand through his wet hair, looking up at the sky then back at Phoebe. She followed his look before meeting his flashing gray eyes with her chocolate brown ones.

"It's too hot, we need to find him soon and pray to the Powers that Be that's he's not out in the sun." Phoebe muttered to Cole who nodded in agreement.

"I agree." He returned, squinting his eyes against the sun.

An-Ling found them staring at the pond quietly, both sweaty and exhausted. After she had a fleeting, naughty thought about Cole and his shirtless ways she smiled and held up the baby blanket she found.

"I found this in a cave along with a woven basket." She stated, handing the blanket to Cole who reached for it with a shaky hand.

"He's here, our little boy is out here." Phoebe observed, touching Cole's quivering bicep.

Cole, who looked like he was going to cry looked at An-Ling and asked, "You said there was a woven basket? Like handmade?"

An-Ling nodded, "Yes, that means-"

"Someone else is here." Cole finished her statement with a hurried sigh.
