Chapter 2: Fighting Mad

Hank pulled his leather jacket tighter around him to ward off the chill in the late October air. He pulled his aviator sunglasses off the bridge of his nose and he used the sleeve of his shirt to clean a spot off the lenses it was cold and sunny a combination that had never made any sense to him. Oh well it least it wasn't raining that always made what he was about to do so much harder.

He had a bouquet of white roses in his hand looking around there really didn't seem to be another soul for a mile. Not that he minded he didn't have to try to keep his emotions in check this way. He looked out over a sea of polished rocks not that he had to he could get to the one he was looking for by simply counting his steps that was how often he had been there.

"Oh Hank you're going to be in hot water when they find out where you've been it doesn't matter that you're the only one who remembered what today is." Henry said to himself as he kneeled in front of the stone that had the dates 2007-2024 on it. He managed to muster a little smile he hated doing this it used to be he lived to come out here and now he dreaded these trips. Taking a deep breath he laid the roses down on the grave in front of him.

"Happy birthday sweety." he said still smiling although he felt conflicted he was going to say baby at first but it didn't feel right that was what he called Bianca leave it to him to find himself in that confusing a situation. He felt ok with using sweety because that was something he would call one of his sisters or female cousins. But he had to call her something he still couldn't bring himself to say her name.

"Aunt Prue told me what you did for me so thank you for that I wouldn't be here right now if it hadn't have been for you. Which is a lot more than I can say about what I did to help you." Henry knew deep down that her death hadn't been his fault but he couldn't help but place some of the blame on himself from time to time because he wasn't able to heal her. He was speaking in a hushed tone because anyone who walked up suddenly would think he was crazy.

As much as he hated coming out here now he was doing a lot better than he was when he had been coming out there everyday no matter what. He was moving on finally but that didn't mean he hadn't had a lot of bad days to get to the point he was at now. "I know it's been awhile since I've been out here to see you but as you know I have been very busy lately. But something tells me that you like it better this way. At least I'm in a better place now than I used to be in." he said laughing he knew that she could hear every word he was saying. He could laugh about the things he used to do when he was a little crazy because she got killed but it really hadn't been all that funny at the time.

A seventeen year old Henry walked into the cemetery one night he didn't care that it was cold and rainy or that with his chosen attire of a thin t-shirt, jeans, mesh tennis shoes he was more than likely going to get soaking wet and catch pneumonia. Nope he had everything he needed and cared about at the moment in his right hand in the form of a completely full fifth of Jack Daniels. He was glad that it was raining that way no one would be able to see his tears not that there was anyone around to see his tears at night but still it was the thought that counted.

He quickly found the gravestone that he was looking for he sat down getting his ass wet in the process again not that he cared. He twisted the cap off his bottle of whiskey and drank deeply from it he closed his eyes as he felt the alcohol burn a path down his throat and into his stomach he could feel a warmth spreading throughout his body. He sat there for a moment with his eyes closed until he could feel the rain water dripping off of his hair and into his face his hair had been a little longer then. He opened his eyes and wiped some of the water off of his face using his arm.

He raised the bottle to his lips again swallowing down some of his tears with his whiskey. That seemed to be working but his sadness was being replaced with another emotion and that was anger one he knew all too well. But his anger wasn't directed at whatever demon had killed her it was directed at her.

He turned to face her headstone "How could you do this to me ? To us ? We were supposed to have a life together and now I have to find a way to live without you this just isn't fair somehow I know you did this just to see if you could make me break." he yelled out into the night. He didn't an answer to that he knew that he wouldn't but he had to try. So not seeing any other option he picked up his bottle again and drank some more.

Still to this day Henry couldn't have told anyone how long it was exactly that he sat out there that night drinking all he knew was at some point Chris and Wyatt had shown up to orb him back to the manor but he wouldn't go with them so they had, had to call Bianca who talked some sense into him. By the time they had gotten him back to the manor his lips were blue and he was shivering because he was so cold. He had ended up with a pretty bad case of pneumonia for his troubles.

At that moment he realized something whether he knew it or not he had always loved Bianca now it was just a matter of being able to show her that he loved her. He was pulled from his thoughts when he heard someone clear their throat behind him. "Yeah, yeah, yeah I know I'm not supposed to be here but this is the one day I absolutely have to come no matter what." he said thinking it was one of his cousins behind him.

"I know that you have to come out here today so do I. I don't remember you being this much of a smart ass before." a female voice behind him said it didn't belong to anyone he was related to.

Henry stood up and turned around to she his other sister-in-law standing there. "Sorry Maria I thought you were one of my cousins coming to drag me home." he said hugging the older woman.

Maria smiled at him it was good to see him out here without tears in his eyes and not stumbling drunk. "No but that all depends on if I should drag you home or not. You haven't been coming out here a lot again have you ?" she asked she worried about him just like everyone else did.

"No Maria this is the first time I have been out here all year so there will be no need for you to drag me out I was just getting ready to go anyway." Henry replied giving her a smile.

"Yeah I thought that might have been your bike parked up there you're the only person I know who rides a motorcycle in the cold." she said bending down to put flowers on her sister's grave next to the ones Henry had left.

He shrugged "Hey I'm one of a kind you wouldn't love me if I wasn't." he said his brown eyes sparkling with mischief.

"Walk me back to the car ? I need to talk to you." Maria said taking him by the arm.

Henry bowed and said "Of course I can't refuse you anything you ask me." not that she had asked that was more of an order and he knew it.

"Henry I need to know are you over my sister ?" she asked looking him in the eyes as they walked along in the maze of polished rocks.

"I'll never be fully over her I'll always love her but I am more than ready to move on." He answered truthfully it was something he had just come to realize himself.

"Good I'm glad to hear that because I don't want you hurting B because you're not over Oriana." Maria said smiling up at him again.

Henry cringed at the mention of her name but he had to take small steps at a time he would get there one day. "I would never hurt B Maria you know that besides I don't even know what you're talking about." he replied grinning they were avoiding telling her family about them.

Maria raised an eyebrow and looked at him like she knew he was full of shit "What I'm talking about Henry is anytime your name comes up in conversation between me and her B gets this goofy grin on her face like the one you have now. And she says something about you're doing fine." Henry looked at her like he didn't know what she was talking about. "Henry I'm not stupid I have always noticed the way you two look at each other and just now when I said her name you were smiling I know that you both love each other and know that you're together wether you want me to know or not."

They were caught and Henry knew it "Yes Maria B is my girlfriend if you must know I swear sometimes I think you might be a Halliwell." he said laughing and shaking his head.

"I'm happy for you both Henry you guys deserve a shot at happiness. I'm just asking you not to hurt her B could take it from anyone but you. We all lost Oriana but you two took it the worst out of any of us because you both loved her the most." Maria replied nudging him in the ribs gently.

"Like I said I wouldn't hurt B for anything in this world but sometimes I feel like I'm betraying her even though I know that is not true and she would want me to move on. Hell I can hear her calling me a stubborn mule for wasting so much time already." Henry said looking Maria in the eyes he saw understanding there.

"Henry I'm going to tell you this once Oriana would not feel betrayed she would be happy for you guys. The boy she loves and the girl she loves have finally come to their senses and realized that they're in love." Maria informed him as they came up on her silver jeep. She kissed him on the cheek.

"Well when you put it like that I can't help but see things your way." he joked smiling at her.

Maria opened the back passenger side door on her jeep and unbuckled a little girl with brown curls and big brown eyes from her seatbelt she was about four years old. "Lyn come out here and say hi to your Uncle Henry." she said sitting the child on her feet.

The little girl put her arms up to Henry and he picked her up "Hi Uncle Henry." she said very plainly surprising him small kids had trouble saying his name.

Henry smiled at her "And how are you today Miss Oriana Lyn ?" he asked cheerfully Maria had named her daughter after both her sisters.

"I good Uncle Henry how are you ?" she asked kissing him on the cheek making his heart melt a little.

"I'm very good sweety your Aunt B is going to be sorry that she was at work and missed you. I know that she would have liked to see you." he said talking very gently to his niece.

"I miss you and Aunt B sometimes but mommy says that you're both busy." Lyn said to him.

Henry smiled very brightly at her "We miss you too sweetheart your mommy is right we have been very busy. But right now I'm going to do something that I know you're going to like." he carried her over to his bike which was sitting in front of the jeep. He sat her down on it and put his sunglasses on her face. "There you go you look like a natural baby you'll be on one of these in no time." he said making her giggle at him.

"Oh God Henry don't encourage her she is just like her Aunt B you will see her riding around on one of those one day. And then I'm sending her daddy after you." Maria groaned.

Henry wasn't listening to Maria he was taking a picture of Lyn using his phone he would show it to Bianca later. "Just be thankful that all she'll be doing is riding one of these she could be as bad as Carly is." he said in his own defense and just then he heard jingling in his ear it was Bianca.

"And from the look on your face that would be my sister calling you," Maria said "come on sweety give Uncle Henry his glasses back. I'll talk to your Aunt B later about lying to me and not seeing you."

"Here you go Uncle Henry I love you." Lyn said hugging his leg and she handed him his glasses.

"I love you too sweety that was Aunt B calling me I'll get on to her for you." he handed her to her mother and started his bike up he waved to both of them before he rode off.

"Alright Paige we're all here now what is this demon that we're supposed to go after ?" Piper asked mildly irritated with her baby sister she had insisted that they all be at the manor and now she wasn't really saying anything. Piper was sitting on the love seat with Leo, Phoebe, Coop, Andy, and Prue were on the couch, while Henry was in one of the chairs Paige was standing.

"Actually there is no demon we asked her to do this for us. And the uncles agreed that this was the best course of action to take." Mel said walking into the living room trailed by Val, Carly, Parker, Patty, and Penny.

"What the hell are you talking about Mel ?" Phoebe asked her oldest niece she was confused but she knew that their daughters had something up their sleeve.

"I'm talking about the four of you Aunt Phoebe it's not like you guys not to talk to each other and it's taking a toll on all of us. I can't mention mom or Aunt Paige in front of you and Aunt Prue and I can't mention the two of you in front of the two of them." Mel said puffing her chest out.

Prue looked at her niece and then at her sister "Piper I think your daughter has lost her mind and is taking the rest of them down with her." she said pointedly.

"You know Prue I think you might be right she has a half way good idea that you don't agree with so Mel has to be crazy I knew there was something wrong with her." Piper ranted at her older sister.

Mel threw up her hands and gestured for Val to take over. "This is exactly what we're talking about you guys can't be in the same room without sniping at each other you're worse than Prue and Jake ever dared to be because the bitch at each other all the time but at least they talk." Val pointed out not that they were listening to her.

"Phoebe do you think maybe you could get a handle on your daughter ?" Prue asked

"You guys need a damn intervention so that is what we're doing whether you like it or not you're not the only ones who suffer when you get like this." Patty said she was normally the quiet twin but she was getting pissed off.

Seeing that his nieces were having no luck Parker decided to speak up "Look I know I'm new to this having siblings thing but I think you should hear the girls out Paige and the guys thought this was a good idea and so do I. I get it that sisters fight but not like this."

"Shut up Parker." Phoebe and Prue yelled at him in unison. He looked hurt but he didn't press the issue.

"I don't care if he is you little brother he is my friend so don't talk to him like that he's just trying to help." Mel said she was on the verge of losing her temper.

"Right the only friend you have anymore since you can't stay away from Roman for more than a couple hours at a time." Phoebe said she didn't know where that had came from.

Piper went to open her mouth but she was cut off by Paige "Hey that is my niece you're talking to like that Phoebe she is only trying to help us like I asked her to."

"All you guys just need to calm down and talk this out this isn't you, you know you don't want to fight like this." Leo tried talking sense into his wife and sisters-in-law.

Piper looked hard at her husband and stared him down. "Please spare me the whitelighter bullshit Leo I for one don't want to hear it if you really cared about us you wouldn't have become an elder again."

"Piper I don't know how you can say that to him he is just trying to protect our family he still comes home every night." Henry said sticking up for his friend.

"I think you might be a little jealous there Henry because he, Coop, and Andy can do what you can't because you're mortal." Prue shot out none of them knew where that sudden rage was coming from.

"Get off your high horse Prue no Henry might not be able to keep us safe in that way but he keeps us from getting exposed which is just as important." Paige told her oldest sister.

"Good luck with that one Paige I'm beginning to think your sister was born on that high horse." Andy snorted.

"Knock it off right now all of you and I mean it your not even acting like adults right now you're all acting like a bunch of overgrown kids." Carly said opening her mouth for the first time.

"It's like you always tell us together we're stronger but when we disagree it makes us easier targets for demons." Penny put her two cents in on the matter.

"This coming from miss I spend ninety percent of my life grounded and miss I haven't met a rule I wouldn't break." Coop said throwing his hands up.

"Watch it Uncle Coop you men are acting no better than the aunts are." Patty cautioned him.

"You know I bet he wouldn't talk to Jake like that." Phoebe mused not sure why she was feeling such rage towards her husband.

Prue rolled her eyes "Of course not Pheebs of course I didn't know that a cupid was allowed to love a half demon that much I mean sometimes I think he loves him more than he loves his own girls. Coop buddy it's not everyone's fault that you couldn't ever make a boy yourself."

Penny saw red there were a lot of things a person could talk about but no one talked about her big brother like that. "Aunt Prue you just need to shut the hell up don't talk about my brother like that he is dad's just the same as me and Val are. Jake is one the sweetest kindest men I know and everyone has to say shit about him being half demon." she raged.

"Phoebe honestly I know that she is your daughter but do you think maybe you could teach her some manners ?" Prue asked her sister in a bitchy tone.

"You guys that is enough you all need to calm down this is getting out of hand." Parker said.

"Parker just mind your own damn business this is none of your concern." Phoebe shot back at him.

"This is my concern Phoebe you are my sisters and you're tearing each other apart right now and I can't bare to watch it." Parker replied hoarsely he couldn't yell because his throat hurt so bad.

"We may technically be your sisters because mom had you but you're almost nothing to us I mean we know nothing about you for all we know you could be working for the source to bring us down." Prue said derisively.

"Prue you're right you don't know anything about Parker but he is a good boy and I assure you that he is not working for the source I would know I raised him." Andy exploded Parker was the closest thing he had to a son and no one would talk about him like that.

"Don't try to reason with any of them Andy they all think they know everything they won't listen to reason that is why they end up getting in the messes they get in prime example was Prue getting killed." Leo threw out there.

"Leo don't put your failings off on everyone else you could have healed Prue too if you hadn't have had a moment of indecision between her and Piper." Phoebe said harshly.

"Come on guys stop look this is getting out of hand we all need to take a deep breath and start over." Paige tried to calm them she was still somewhat in control.

"Paige you're in the same boat as Parker just another product of one of mom's flings." Phoebe said narrowing her eyes at her baby sister.

"Aunt Phoebe stop Aunt Paige saved this family she put it back together after everything with the source and Cole went down. If it wasn't for her God knows what would have happened I don't like you guys talking to her like that." Mel said trying to make them see reason even though they were well beyond that point.

"Mel save it they are all acting like they are under some sort of spell." Patty said in resignation.

"Mel you know maybe you should have thought this through all the way before you got your little gang together you should have let the adults handle this and stayed with Roman doing whatever it is you two do." Prue snapped at her niece because she seemed like an easy target.

"Prue don't talk to my daughter like that she is trying to make you see reason." Leo said his temper boiling over.

"Oh now she is your daughter Leo I thought you only had one child Wyatt because let me tell you, you act like Mel and Chris don't exist." Piper shot at her husband.

"That is how they all are with Leo it's Wyatt, Coop has Jake, and Henry has Carly they can't love more than one child." Paige said shortly.

"That is not true Paige we all know we have more than one child I think it might be you that has that problem as far as I can tell you have no other kids other than Hank who you smother that is why he moved out." Coop yelled at his sister-in-law.

"Don't talk to my sister like that Coop all you men are threatened by us because we are successful and powerful and if you don't like it you all can get the fuck out of this house." Piper said pointing towards the door.

"Gladly Piper I can't stand to be here another minute. Come on guys lets go down to my place." Henry said getting up with the other three guys to leave.

"Wait come on you guys don't want to do this." Carly pleaded.

"If you kids are with them you can go too." Prue said gesturing in the direction the men had just gone in.

"Mom you and the aunts don't really mean that do you ?" Mel asked tears filling her eyes but she wasn't sad she was pissed and hurt.

"Yeah we do Mel all of you go if you're with them." Piper answered coldly.

Carly picked that time to let her runaway mouth take over thankfully for all of them "We aren't going anywhere because this is our fuckin house too Grams left it to all of us. This is our power base so we can't go." she said smugly.

" I swear there is something about half whitelighters that makes them not come out right." Prue mused to herself throwing her head back.

Paige stared her oldest sister down "Forgive me if we all can't be as perfect as Saint Prue but I have done the best I know how over the years a lot better than you I might add I didn't abandon my sisters because I was reckless and got killed."

"Paige we're barely your sisters it's not like you grew up with us." Phoebe pointed out.

"Look lets leave them to tear each other down I can't listen to this anymore I have an idea if they won't listen to us maybe they will listen to someone else." Mel said and they trooped out of the living room to the kitchen with the strains of the Halliwell sisters fighting in the background.

"B could you please explain that to us again I'm not sure I follow your thought train." Liz asked politely her and Bianca had a cease fire for the moment.

Bianca shook her head Liz had no clue what she said because she was too busy watching what Wyatt and Calleigh were doing. "Sure Liz the demons are called tracker demons if anyone has even a small amount of Valkyrie blood in them they can hunt them down because it is their job to try to find a way to make good lose the final battle. One sure fire way to do that is to wipe out the valkyries and their warriors." she explained again.

"So under the circumstances until we can vanquish them it would be safer for Calleigh if she went to Valhalla." Chris thought out loud.

Henry shared a look with his cousin "Yes that is what B and I were thinking the trackers are going to find a way in whether we want them to or not but at least this way Calleigh will be safe from them out here. She can fight them off better there where her mother can protect her." he said justifying Chris's reasoning.

"Calleigh do you have one of those pendents ?" Prue asked the young woman who was sitting next to her on the couch.

Calleigh reached a hand in her shirt and came up holding a valkyrie pendent. "Yes and I should be able to get Wyatt in with me since he is my whitelighter." she said she wasn't sure if she could or not but she was fairly certain she could.

"Ok so while Wy is doing that we could be here coming up with a plan on how to get rid of the tracker demons." Roman suggested as the apartment phone began to ring.

Troy went to answer it but he called for Chris a minute later. "Chris you're going to want to take this it's Mel she sounds upset." he called.

Chris pulled himself out the chair he was sitting in and went to take the phone call in the kitchen. "Hey Mel what's wrong ? Troy said you sounded upset." he asked his baby sister he wasn't sure he wanted to know he eyed Roman who was on the other side of the room if he had anything to do with this he was going to kill him.

"There is no way we can take all of them out we can't be sure they don't already have a way to get into Valhalla there are valkyries all over gathering up warriors." Wyatt pointed out logically.

"We have to try something Wy none of us are saying this is fool proof but we can't just do nothing. We can't let the demons get into Valhalla we would be screwed and we can't let them get to Calleigh because we would be screwed then too." Lilly argued back in this case doing anything was better than doing nothing.

"Lilly has a point Wy doing nothing is not an option for us the future of good magic rests on us here. We can't let the valkyries get killed that tips the scale in the favor of evil. And we can't let anything happen to Calleigh because then one or more of us will get killed. But Wy is right too we can't stop them all so I guess we'll just have to settle for getting most of them." Chuck agreed with both of them sighing.

Jake was resting his elbows on his knees "If what I think matters I think that someone who isn't a member of the Warren line should have to do something for a change we can't even have real lives without magic getting in the way." he said sounding downcast he was like Piper about wanting to have a normal life.

"Cookie Dough we're not normal so you know we don't have normal lives." Prue said reading his thoughts. But she didn't have to she knew from the look on his face what he had been thinking about.

"Stay out of my head Prue." Jake said giving her a thin smile.

"Since we all know that we have to do something I say we get to work on a plan here and then we plot how to best kill the elders later." Bianca suggested sighing it was bad when demons got in the way of her being able to visit her sister's grave for her birthday.

Chris practically slammed the phone down on the kitchen table after he hung up with Mel. "Ok we have more problems like Hank and I are about to not have little brothers if we don't go to the manor and stop mom and the aunts who are having one hell of a fight with each other and with the uncles." he said his temper at it's breaking point.

"And you propose we do what Chris ?" Jake asked his cousin rolling his blue eyes.

"Wyatt and Roman take Calleigh to Valhalla to make sure she is safe. While me, you, Prue, and Hank go to the manor Wy can meet us there. Liz, Troy, and Lilly go to magic school and do some research on the demons. While B, Chuck, and Ro when he comes back work on a plan. That is the best we can do for right now. Oh and Prue grab your ring we're going to need it." Chris was barking orders left and right.

"Fine we do it this way for now unless someone comes up with a better idea it's all we have." Wyatt gave in. "Calleigh you ready ?" he asked gently and she nodded Liz was having to fight off the pangs of jealousy she was feeling. Roman went to stand beside her and Wyatt. She pressed the pendent around her neck and it opened a portal that looked like the blue ocean waves rolling. The three stepped into it.

"Now we have to go before the manor gets torn apart or they break the power of three both are likely to happen." Henry sighed kissing Bianca. He orbed out with his three cousins so they could get things slowly under control.

Back at the manor things hadn't quieted down any the four Halliwell sisters were still having a free for all. Mel and the others were sitting in the kitchen with their heads hung none of them wanted to admit it but what had been said about them had stung. Parker was trying hard to fight off tears he didn't want to break in front of the girls all he wanted was to be accepted by his family.

"You know what I don't get is what the hell set them off like that." Val mused her chin was resting on the back of her hand her lime green fingernails were visible.

"I get what you're saying Val one second they were fine and then the next second they were all at each other's throats I've never seen them like this before." Mel replied cracking her neck she was still suffering from the effects of her concussion. She pushed her dark brown hair behind her ears really making her look like her mother. She noted her reflection in one of the pots hanging over the island and she moved it back she didn't want to be reminded of her mother at the moment.

"I know I mean Aunt Piper has always been easy to set off but she really doesn't say mean things that aren't true and she would never tell us to get out." Penny said she was having one hell of a week first Torch and now this it was enough to make her crazy.

"And Aunt Prue and Aunt Phoebe were just flat out being bitches for once in her life mom was being reasonable." Carly replied she was running her hands through her black hair making it look tousled as she sighed.

"True I didn't even know that Uncle Coop was allowed to get pissed off like that you know the uncles were all being assholes too though." Patty said she wished she could just go and be with Ricky again being in his arms made everything feel right.

Parker chose not to weigh in on the matter he had nothing to say about it if that was the way Prue and Phoebe really felt about him he would go. But he wouldn't feel right leaving his girls he had bonded with them and his dad. Orbs appeared in the kitchen to reveal the older four Halliwell cousins.

"Alright Chris and I are going to go try and talk sense to them Prue and Jake have their own job to do. Charlie I can't believe I'm telling you this but if this doesn't work be prepared to summon either grandma or Grams preferably Grams though she knows how to handle them." Henry said by way of greeting but then he looked at Parker and saw that he looked like he was going through all kind of emotions and he decided he needed his mother. "On second thought call both of them and get grandpa over here too." He and Chris walked in the other room while Prue and Jake sat waiting for a signal from them that they could do something else.

XXXXXXXX

"Spare me Phoebe no one picks on you, you make poor choices first and foremost is Cole we all told you he was bad news but you didn't listen and now you have his Satan spawn who has his eyes that you have to look at everyday." Prue raged at her sister for some reason as she paced the living room.

"Prue I'm telling you that you need to not talk about Jake like that he is nothing like Cole." Paige yelled back at her sister she didn't like it when anyone picked on her nephews they were her boys.

"Paige don't even get me started on your son who you let get married at a young age and he went on the crazy train when she got killed. Now he can't love any other woman." Prue retorted only to set Piper off again.

"The kids are off limits they didn't do anything but try to help and Prue you don't mean what you just said about Hank or you wouldn't have had Andy save him. "Piper shot back.

Henry and Chris both let off shrill whistles at the same time. "That is just about enough of whatever you're fighting about." Chris warned in his cop tone but that didn't stop them they kept right on taking pot shots at each other.

"Oh great the others having failed to get what they want out of us they sent the damn boy scouts after us." Prue said feigning excitement.

Henry shook his head in amusement he knew where his sisters and cousins all got their shit from now. "Sorry I was never a boy scout but I could introduce you to some marines last chance stop fighting long enough to hear us out or we break out the big guns that is up to you four entirely." he said firmly he was a lot better at that than Chris was.

"Henry just give it up you guys are not going to change our minds so forget about it." Phoebe said blowing her nephew off.

Chris and Henry shared a look with each other "You know they were warned." Henry said nodding his head rapidly.

Chris was repeating the gesture "Oh yeah they were suitably warned." he agreed with his cousin.

"Charlie do what I told you to do they had their chance to do things the easy way." Henry called to his sister a smirk coming to his face this was going to be fun for him. Prue came marching in the room to stand next to her cousin a minute later she had her hands on her hips and she was looking in between both Henry and Chris.

"Your sister is doing what you asked her to and his sister along with my sister are doing the other thing you wanted them to do." Prue said first she pointed at Henry and then to Chris and herself.

"Please tell me that this is not your idea of calling in the calvary." Phoebe said looking at her first born child and to be quite honest about it she didn't think that she looked all that intimidating.

Prue ran her hands through her brown curls and stared her mother down " Mom I love you but don't mess with me I'm not one of those little girls in the kitchen I have a mouth and I know how to use it. You think that Val and Carly are bad that ain't shit I could give them lessons. I don't know what the problem is with you four and I don't know if I want to know but you just need to grow up right now."

The four women on the couch looked stunned none of them knew that Prue had that in her she was just so full of life and silly acting at times that they failed to take her seriously. Chris raised his eyebrow at his cousin " Damn Ladybug we should have let you come in here and handle them while we did what we told you and Coop to do." He was impressed he never knew that Prue had it in her to stand up to their parents that way.

"No kidding Ladybug I thought you only knew how to give us hell like that." Henry said throwing an arm around his cousin.

"Henry someone has to keep you on your toes when I'm not around otherwise you would get slow." Grams said walking into the room normally Henry would have cringed but it had been his idea to call her over there.

"Don't I know it Grams we need a favor we need you to talk to these four who are at each other's throats they are fighting over everything and they won't listen to reason." Henry replied swallowing his pride she was the only one who had any hope of getting through to them.

"Grams you guys called Grams ? Henry that might be the biggest asshole move you have ever pulled." Paige observed locking eyes with her son who wasn't phased by her.

"No the biggest asshole move I ever pulled was thinking that I could be in love at seventeen but that is neither here nor there this isn't about me this is about you four. Grams is just going to set you guys right." Henry said shrugging .

"I've got them you three need to go back in the kitchen and supervise your grandparents we really don't need another Parker incident on our hands." Grams said shooing them into the other room she didn't their help handling her girls she had raised them after all.

"We're going you are a sick woman Grams we don't want that picture in our heads of grandma and grandpa." Chris said sticking his fingers in his ears.

XXXXXXX

"Oh my gosh Victor he looked a lot like you as a baby." Patty said to her ex-husband and the father of four of her five children. Victor had pictures he had taken of her son the week before when he had been turned into a baby again.

"Yeah but he has your eyes they even sparkle the way yours do when he laughs." Victor replied looking soulfully into her eyes.

"Victor I hope that you're not very mad at me that I kept him from you." Patty said taking his hand.

Victor smiled at his former wife. "No I'm not mad at you he is home where he belongs now that is all that matters." he brushed some of her hair out of her face.

" Now I know why Grams was worried I can't believe you guys sat here and let them flirt like that." Prue said as they walked into the kitchen and saw that their grandparents had eyes only for each other.

"Come on Prue none of us had the heart to break them up it was very sweet." Val said her cupid nature starting to show through.

Prue looked at her grandparents and it was very sweet but if she didn't break them up they would have another Parker situation on their hands. "Well I know but Grams told us to keep an eye on them." she replied to her sister.

"Of course mother did it's what she does wether we want her to or not," Patty said throwing her hands up. " hi babies how are you ?" she asked hugging her three older grandchildren.

"Hi grandma we're fine." the three answered in unison.

Victor noticed that they were missing a grandchild "Where is Wy ?" he asked he was worried any time they were all together and one of them was missing.

"He is with a charge right now he should be here shortly." Chris answered it wasn't a lie it was just a half truth.

"What are my girls fighting about ?" Patty asked not that she minded when they summoned her she just wanted to know what was going on.

Henry sighed "Grandma there in lies the problem every since last week when Parker was a baby and he got taken by a demon they have been fighting because Aunt Piper called Cole to help find him so Aunt Phoebe got pissed. Then Aunt Piper got pissed at Aunt Prue because she isn't very nice to Parks so the four of them have been at war for a week now." he explained it was tiring to him.

"That led to this huge blowout ?" Victor asked he knew those girls could get touchy with each other but he never knew them to get like this.

Mel decided that she would take that question because she had been there to see them have their little melt down. "That is the thing grandpa they just kinda all started yelling at each other for no reason. I know that it is confusing as hell I don't understand it and I witnessed it the only explanation I can think of is that it is demonic." she was really at loss for what to say there was no rhyme or reason to why they were acting the way they were acting.

Wyatt, Roman, and Calleigh stepped out of the portal that they had walked in at the apartment and watched as it closed up behind them. It had deposited them in an island paradise the cold of San Francisco was left behind them. Roman and Wyatt felt a little over dressed in their blue jeans and sweat shirts. It didn't bother Calleigh because she was used to it.

"Alright boys we better hurry to the training ring we don't want to get caught out here by some of the warriors. Trust me when I say it wouldn't be pretty." Calleigh said gesturing for them to follow behind her as she led them down a path that had been cut into the dense jungle vegetation.

"So no one knows that we're here ?" Roman asked from everything he had heard about Valhalla it had it's own alarm system that alerted the warriors when it was breached.

Calleigh shook her head as she led them further into the island. "No because we came here using the portal had we orbed in there would have been warriors looking for us the minute we set foot on this soil." she explained there had been a few times she had to come here over the years so she was familiar with the system that they used.

They walked past some valkyries and warriors training one of them waved at Calleigh. "It's a surprise to see you here and you're out of uniform." the valkyrie pointed out to her.

Calleigh rolled her eyes. "Rain I'm not staying for long anyway I need to see my mother." she said irritated and thankful that she hadn't mentioned anything about Wyatt and Roman being with her.

"She is in the training ring with Mist and the others Calleigh it is good to see you again." Rain said she was about five foot six with bronze skin, dark blonde hair and blue eyes she was clad in a leather skirt that stopped well before her knees and something that looked like a sports bra there was a lot of bare skin showing in between.

Wyatt and Roman being men couldn't help but stare their eyes damn near bugging out of their heads. Roman looked away first he had a girlfriend who would kill him if she found out he was tripping over himself looking at another woman. Wyatt had to look away because he was beginning to wonder what the hell Calleigh would look like dressed like that and he shouldn't be having those thoughts about his charge.

Calleigh looked behind her and noticed the way Wyatt and Roman were looking at Rain. Boys will be boys but that will get their asses kicked here I better take them and go find mom. She thought silently laughing to herself. "It's good to see you too Rain I'd better go we both know how my mother gets if I keep her waiting." she said making the valkyrie think her mother had sent for her. "Come along boys." she beckoned the two men to follow her with a hooked finger.

"So I take it that you two don't like each other very much ." Wyatt observed after they had waked a little further he was the master of stating the obvious he was having one of his blond moments.

Calleigh snorted "That is the understatement of the year Wyatt Rain seems to think that I'm a disgrace to all valkyries everywhere. While I quite frankly just don't give a fuck but those are just my personal feelings." She said leading them on to a cave like structure.

"Do I have to bow are anything like that ?" Roman asked her to be sure he knew how the valkyries felt about men and he didn't want to do anything wrong.

"Roman no you don't have to bow mom is not unreasonable like that it should just be her and the council in here if that is the case she will be cool as hell." Calleigh replied smiling at him his question had been stupid.

"It's alright that we're here ?" Wyatt asked one last time he didn't want to arouse the wrath of a valkyrie being on the receiving end of his mother's temper was more than enough for him.

Calleigh sighed for a young man Wyatt sure worried a lot more than he needed to " Wyatt I'm telling you it's fine that you're both here mom won't care especially when we explain to her why we're here." she assured him one more time.

"Well then if you're sure we better get a move on or my brother won't be very happy with me." Wyatt said gesturing for her to lead them on with a wave of his arm.

Calleigh led both young men into the cave it had a dirt floor not unlike that floor in the underworld in the center of the cave there was a ring that was in a cage that could be shut to keep both occupants in. Off to the right side of the cage three valkyries two were blond and one was a brunette there names were Freyja, Mist, and Kara.

Calleigh nodded in their direction and the three women nodded back they were surrounded by half naked young men who were catering to their every need. She then turned her attention to the two men fighting in the center of the ring.

One was dressed like a gladiator while the other was wearing military fatigues that looked brand new. They were sword fighting the soldier was holding his own with the gladiator until he knocked him to the ground and held the point of his sword to his throat. Calleigh gestured with her left hand to the ring and arched an eyebrow in the direction of the other three women asking permission to enter the ring one of the blonds nodded.

Calleigh stepped into the center of the ring she put her hand on the gladiator's chest and pushed him away from the soldier. She gave her hand to the soldier and picked up his sword for him. "What you did wrong was you dropped your shoulder but it was good. Take him and get him into training." she ordered one of the men standing outside the ring.

They nodded their acceptance of her order and drug him off in the direction she had just come from with Wyatt and Roman. The two friends shared a look when she started barking orders like that and was showing people how to fight she reminded them of Bianca.

As Calleigh stepped out of the ring one of the blonds who seemed to be in charge waved all the men who were in the room out of it. "Calleigh it looks like you've learned some things." The blond named Mist said to her.

"I've been practicing lately not by choice the demons have been driving me crazy. And before you ask no I didn't do anything to arouse their anger Kara." Calleigh said simply shrugging as she addressed the brunette.

"Calleigh you do have the tendency to provoke people." Freyja the other blond and head valkyrie pointed out to the young woman.

Calleigh smiled and shook her head "I see you have been talking to Rain about me again mom I'm really not that bad." she said defending herself.

Freyja smiled back at the girl it had been awhile since she had seen her. "Come here darling it's been too long since I have seen you." she said opening her arms to her daughter.

Calleigh allowed her mother to embrace her "Hi mom I missed you too," she pulled out of her mother's embrace and then embraced Mist " and I missed you Aunt Mist. I can't believe I'm saying this but I missed you too Aunt Kara." she said moving to the brunette.

Freyja took her daughter by both her hands and looked at her with an appraising eye " It looks like you have been taking care of yourself. And your father I trust he is well." she said.

Calleigh nodded her head her parents went through this song and dance with her every time they knew she had seen the other. "Dad is fine mom I just talked to him this morning he sends his love as always." she replied shaking her head.

"Not that we're not happy to see you but what are you doing here Calleigh ? And who are the men with you ?" Kara asked eyeing both young men suspiciously.

"Aunt Kara that is my whitelighter Wyatt Halliwell and his friend Roman they are helping me out with the demons that are after me. Really they are after all of us but they brought me here for safe keeping while they find a way to get rid of the demons." she explained.

"They are Tracker demons it is their job to find a way for evil to win the final battle. They chose to do that by going after valkyries since that would tip the scale greatly in their favor." Wyatt explained when he saw Mist shoot him a questioning glance.

Freyja looked at her daughter's chosen attire of a purple long sleeve t-shirt jeans and tennis shoes "If you're staying you need to change so you blend in better dear. You'll find that you have a change of clothes in your room." She instructed her pointing in the general direction of her room.

"Yes mom," Calleigh sounded a little irritated but she smiled to temper her sarcasm "Wyatt you and Roman can go now I assure you there is no safer place for me to be right now." she said turning to the young man.

"Right when I find something out I will orb back here and tell you just be waiting for me I really don't want to fight any of those warriors." Wyatt said nervously he was uncomfortable being in the room with those Valkyries he wasn't sure how to act.

"That won't be a problem any friends of my daughter are welcome here anytime just orb in and ask for me the warriors won't question that and neither will any of the other valkyries." Freyja assured him.

"Calleigh please try to stay out of trouble for right now and I will be back in a little while." Wyatt said before he grabbed Roman's hand and orbed out.

"So do any of you ladies care to tell me just what you're fighting about ?" Grams asked her four granddaughters she was pacing in front of the fireplace. Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige all crossed their arms over their chests and turned their backs on each other. Penny Halliwell sighed this was going to be tougher than she thought. "I suggest one of you starts talking now or I will find a way to make your lives very unpleasant and you young ladies know I'm very capable of it." she threatened narrowing her eyes at four of her five grandchildren.

"My sisters are all unreasonable bitches that is reason enough for us to be fighting." Prue said she had no problem mouthing off to her grandmother.

Piper snorted "In that case Prue that makes you super bitch all I'm saying is that you need to treat Parker better." she said her voice raising a little.

" Get off of it Piper you did the same thing to Paige as I recall and you ignored her when she tried to tell you Cole was bad news. And now you're letting Cole help you out again even though you know he shouldn't be trusted." Phoebe said her voice was also raising.

Paige rolled her eyes at her three sisters. "Bullshit Phoebe you wouldn't listen to me either because I wasn't Prue and I didn't grow up with you guys you were always selling me short because of that and you still do." Paige was getting louder too.

Prue narrowed her eyes at her baby sister "As I said before you and Parker are barely our siblings sure you might be one of the Charmed ones but you're still just the product of one of mom's flings." Prue was shouting now.

"Hey I told you not to talk about my baby sister and my baby brother like that once today and I meant it Prudence." Piper yelled back.

"Girls that is enough you need to stop it right now so we can get to the bottom of why this is going on." Patty said to her daughters firmly there was no reason for her to raise her voice they knew she was upset with them.

"Listen to your mother ladies this isn't you, you have been snipping at each other like this for weeks but nothing like what you're doing now." Victor said backing up the mother of his children.

The four sisters didn't say anything they just fell silent and refused to say another word to anyone. Parker had followed his mom and dad because this concerned him too they were his sisters he had to do something to help.

"Like I said before I'm new to this having sisters thing but I know that it isn't supposed to be like this. My whole life I wanted a big family being an only child sucked and sure I was shocked at first but the day Grams told me that you were my sisters was the happiest day of my life. Don't get me wrong I love Andy and Kyle but you guys are my blood and I love you all wether you feel the same about me or not. Just don't fight because of me I don't want that I just want to fit in. But I can't stand to see you four fight like this if it is because of me I can always go." Parker spoke from his heart he wasn't yelling but he was firm and meant every word he said.

Piper couldn't stand the way that both her parents were looking at her that coupled with her brother's speech made her soften "Prue all I am saying is you need to lighten up and give him a chance he is our brother and I know it is a shock but he's a great guy." she said her tone was lower and she was more calm than she had been.

"Ok I acknowledge what you're saying and I will put some effort into it if that makes you happy." Prue relented finally.

"Prue I don't know about your sisters but I would like that very much I don't want you to be mad at him for what I did." Patty told her first born who nodded her head that she would try.

Phoebe closed her eyes and took a deep breath "Piper part of me knows that you just did what you had to do to keep Parker safe and I get that I really do. But you know that I have that whole history with Cole and I thought that Jake was hurt. I was wrong though as he pointed out this morning he knows who his daddy is and nothing will ever change that so I'm sorry for acting the way I have." she said taking a step to mend fences with her sisters.

"I'm sorry too Pheebs I should have told you that I was letting him help me I won't do it anymore without telling you." Piper apologized sincerely and the two sisters hugged.

"What about you Paige ? What is your problem ?" Grams asked she wanted them to all have everything out in the open.

"It's just sometimes I feel like no matter what I do you guys will never fully accept me as your sister because I didn't grow up with you and I have to try hard to be as good as Prue was." Paige admitted she had felt like that for years.

"Paige you don't have to feel that way you know I watched you and you did a much better job than I ever could of you got this family back on track after the whole Cole thing. I don't care that you didn't grow up with us you're still my baby sister and I love you just as much as I do Piper and Phoebe." Prue said hugging her youngest sister to her.

"Missy Paige I know that I was horrible to you at first I admit it and I'm still sorry about it. But I do love you if I didn't Mel's middle name wouldn't be Paige. You're my baby sister and I have been through a lot more with you than I ever went through with Prue. And you know as well as I do that Hank is my boy too I love him and the girls just as much as I love Phoebe's kids." Piper said putting an arm around her sister.

"Paige I'm sorry too you're my little sister and we have a lot more in common than I do with Piper or Prue we both know what it's like to be rebels I have to love you if I didn't I wouldn't be able to handle Val she is exactly like you her mind is always in the gutter." Phoebe said getting into the hug with her sisters.

"See there I knew you girls didn't like fighting with each other like that." Parker said looking at how close his sisters were.

"Get over here Parks I owe you an apology I'm sorry that I have treated you so bad you don't deserve that." Prue said pulling her only brother into the hug with her sisters. The Halliwell sisters eyes flashed and some of the red left them but not all of it they still had to make things right with the guys.

A/N: So that is the chapter I hope you liked it. I think that maybe Chris is going to be thrown into some major flashbacks soon that involve Leo not trusting him. Until next time please review.
