Chapter 3: The Son and the Source:
"Piper, meet your son; Ryan!" said the golden robed Elder. Piper and her sisters looked dumbfounded, Ryan however lost it, "Ok, this is just too much, first I get premonitions and now you say that Piper is my mother… I already have a mother for your information and…" Ryan didn't finish his sentence for the Elder immobilized him, "YOU WILL BE QUIET AND LISTEN RYAN!" shouted the Elder; unable to speak all that Ryan could do was shoot the Elder a filthy look. "Piper, during about your second high school year you met Leo once before and fell in love and had a child, we found out and were furious and intended to take the baby away but before we could he was kidnapped by the Source himself." explained the Elder. Still speechless no one could say anything but Ryan was getting a premonition; he was only a month old and a man in a robe had materialized in the nursery and grabbed him and flamed out with him.
Finally, Ryan broke the silence and said, "I believe you, cause I just had another premonition and I saw what happened with that Source guy." said Ryan. There was silence and then Piper said, "I believe it too; it's just a feeling I can just tell that you're my son." Just then Ryan gasped and said, "What am I gonna tell the Mom that I have now? And Mr. Reed is gonna kill me for being late again." Leo looked kindly at his new found son and said, "Let's take things one at a time ok buddy, we'll get you to class and Michael here will orb to your mom and explain everything to her." Ryan nodded and picked up his backpack and before anything else the Elder, now called Michael said, "Piper you must remove the veil and glamour that we placed over him, you see we did a ceremony to cloak him no matter where he was because the Source had hidden him so well that we could not locate him." Piper thought for a moment and then said, "Ok, I thing I have got it!" and she walked over too her son and hugged him tightly and said, "With this loving embrace, the cloak and glamour placed over you I now erase!"
After the last word of the spell was spoken a bright gold light engulfed Piper's son and when the light vanished her son was now blonde haired and green eyed and a few inches shorter and wearing a different pair of jeans and a hooded sweatshirt. Phoebe smiled and said, "Oh, isn't he just adorable, except now he is a little shorter than you Piper." Blushing Ryan said, "What do you mean shorter, I was taller a few minutes ago and why is my voice different!" Smiling kindly Leo put a comforting arm around his son's shoulders and said, "It will take some getting used to, but I'm sure you will get used to it in good time… SHORTY!" At his Father's "shorty" comment he blushed a little bit more but didn't mind as much. Just then out of no where a black robed figure flamed into appearance and said, "Well, well, well; what a nice little... reunion!" It was the Source.
