A/N: Thanks to Melinda Faith Halliwell for reviewing.

Chapter 3: Demons and Kids

"My fault, this is my fault. What the hell do you mean that this is my fault?" Roman more or less yelled at his wife.

"I think that I was pretty clear on what I said this is your fault. You're the one who didn't tell your sons that under no circumstances were they to go to the underworld with their aunts." Mel replied like the answer should have been apparent to him.

Of course she was blaming this on him there was no way anything could ever be Melinda Halliwell's fault it was unheard of. "What I heard come out of your mouth was you four aren't going to the underworld alone and they didn't go alone they went with their aunts. So I hate to tell you this but if it is anyone's fault it is yours. Because that is the convoluted logic that you used to use when Aunt Piper told you not to do something actually you still use that logic." Roman pointed out to her.

"So now it's my fault I can't help it that they inherited one too many Halliwell genes for them to be useful. You knew when you married me that when we had kids they were more than likely going to inherit the Halliwell stubbornness." Mel defended herself against her husband's accusations.

"What they just did is something you, Val, Charlie, and Carly would have done together once upon a time. Actually if Val and Carly hadn't moved to New York you four would still be doing the same shit. You and Charlie do it's just now that Penny and Hailey are older you drag them along with you." Roman yelled back. The reason they were in the middle of this heated argument was because when they went down to the kitchen to talk to their kids they found out that they had gone to the underworld with their three aunts.

Mel ran her hands through her long brown hair "It's no fucking different than the shit you do with my brothers and older cousins. But no this has to be because of me and the things that I do when I have to."

"It's not just the demon hunting Mel it's the fact that you are a cop you like to live dangerously. I don't know if that is attached to the idiot gene or not because you are anything but an idiot." Roman said trying to calm down.

"No it would be attached to the I'm not a coward gene. You know that I love my job and we are not having this fight right now because it is not the time for it." Mel replied.

"Hey here is a great idea you two stop yelling at each other because it's not going to solve anything. And as much as it is going to pain you to hear this you are going to have to trust that you raised them to know what they are doing. And in this family it's doubtful that you didn't." Chris pointed out to his sister and brother-in-law. They had called the new power of three to be ready when the others came back with a location on the demon.

Roman let out a huge breath "Ok Mel Chris is right we have to trust that we raised them right. I'm sorry I shouldn't have said anything that I just said I overreact sometimes."

"And I'm sorry too I should have never told you that this was all your fault I know that you wouldn't put our kids in danger for anything in the world." Mel replied.

Roman wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the temple "I'm sorry that I have been the world's biggest asshole lately there has been no reason for me to ignore you and your feelings but I've been doing it. It will never happen again you have my word on it. You just have to remember that I'm a telepath not a mind reader if there is something bugging you then you have to tell me."

"I'm sorry that have been unfair and accused you of not caring. I should know that you care from the way you won't let me have my coffee. And I just need to learn it's ok for me to admit that I don't have all the answers sometimes. So I promise you that the next time I'm feeling insecure that you will be the first one to know." Mel replied. As they talked the same pink and blue orbs floated out of their bodies.

"Uh guys I think you might want to take a look at this for a second." Prue tried to warn them. But it did no good they were both thrown back on the couch when they were hit with the right set of orbs.

"Well Prue did try to warn you." Henry said when Roman groaned.

Roman began feeling himself up all over. "Oh thank God my back and feet don't hurt anymore. And I don't feel like I'm going to puke anymore."

Mel rubbed her back and moaned a little "Yeah well I feel all those things your son is so grounded for this." She bitched.

"Oh you will do no such of a thing my nephew is a genius he takes after his Uncle Hank." Henry replied in mock seriousness.

Just then a swirl of blue orbs filled the room. "Good you got the three amigos here that is good we found the demon and someone failed to mention that he would have company. But we know where he is and these three should go." Patty said.

"Oh my word I can't believe it something was actually important enough to get you two home." Prue said throwing an arm around her baby sister.

"This is not the time Prue we have a demon and you need to get your ass in gear." Val said.

"Here Uncle Chris this is a power of three spell I promise you that this will work." Leo said handing his middle uncle the spell that he and his sister had written.

"Thank you now if three ladies I know will show us where this demon is we will take care of it." Chris replied.

"Alright follow us." Carly said orbing out and the others followed her.

"Dad you and mom are back to normal that is great." R.J. announced when everyone else had gone.

"Yeah and now we need to think about getting the three of you home." Mel replied to that.

"Oh there is no need for that mom me and Leo wrote a spell for that too. Leo take care of it." Grace ordered her older brother. Leo went to the wall of the attic and drew a triquetra on the it.

"Ok the only thing left to do is say the spell and we're out of here." Noah said.

Roman shook his head at his youngest son "Not a chance first your mom and I get hugs." He ordered. The kids made their rounds between their two parents. After they had finished they said their spell and they were gone.

Later Mel and Roman were sitting on the couch in their apartment. Mel had her feet in Roman's lap and he was rubbing them.

"Ro you have no idea how good that feels. It actually makes me forget about all the other pains I have right now. Thank you babe." Mel said moaning with pleasure this was all that she had wanted from him.

Roman reached over and kissed her on the lips "You don't have to thank me I should have done this before now." he replied.

"I should have just told you what I was feeling." Mel countered.

Roman shook his head at her "But I should have known that you needed me now more than ever and once again I'm very sorry."

"Ro you don't have to be sorry you're here now and that is all that matters to me." Mel replied.

"Mel I love you and I'm sorry that I ever made you feel second best. You and our son mean the world to me. I promise you that I won't be such an ass from now on. I'll be right here for you any time you need me no matter what you can count on that." Roman spoke from his heart.

"And I promise that you will know what I'm feeling even if you won't like what I have to say. I love you more than I have ever loved anyone and I'm glad that I'm having you baby." Mel replied to that speaking from her heart too.

"I love you too and I always will." Roman said as he kissed her lips again. For the moment they had all their issues worked out.
