Chapter 16:

A/N: Hey what's up people? I know, I know, it's been forever since I've updated on this story. I'm really really sorry but I've had a lot going on in my life, and we had to put my 12 yr old yellow Labrador retriever to sleep last Monday and it was really sad. Apparently he had liver cancer. But anyway, I'm going to try to update more, I promise! I hope you enjoy this next chapter. As always, REVIEW!!!

Down in Hell, Cole Turner was having a very bad day. He was trying to think of ways of getting his daughter back on his side, but he knew it was probably too late. He could sense tension in the whole kingdom and felt the stress rising on his shoulders. He needed a vacation. That is, if sources of all evil even could take a vacation.

"Yes they can." A voice said. It was Cayla. "May I be seen?" she asked

"Yes." He said, giving her permission "How did you know that I was thinking about a vacation

"Because I can sense it. Plus I've been around you long enough to know what you're thinking, feeling, etc. etc." she explained

"Ah. So any news?" He asked "Please be good" he added

"Sorry, but I don't really have anything good. Want to hear it anyway?" Cayla asked nervously, knowing very well how his moods could quickly change, especially after a piece of bad news.

"Oh, hell, why not?" Cole replied

"Alright then. They have been reunited." Cayla said softly

"Damnit! Why is, that whenever I want something, she always beats me to it? God, why can't I just get my daughter? Why?" He cursed and ranted

"Well, I do have an idea, if you would like to hear it." Cayla interrupted

"Oh, let me hear it." Cole said wearily.

"You could decide to show up and go to court to claim custody." Cayla explained

"But that's so….human. And ingenious. Hey, I kind of like that. But Prue would never go for it. She's never forgiven me for abandoning her." Cole replied, thinking over the idea

"True…but maybe you could come back a completely different person. I mean, I realize she knew you were half demon. But still…you could always change after all these years…" Cayla suggested

"But I shouldn't do a law suit. That would turn her away completely… I need to do something that not even Prue could resist forgiving…leave me, please. I need to think this over." Cole demanded while pondering

Cayla disappeared. She was glad he dismissed her. She needed to ponder too.

Cole was thinking. He thought long and hard. He'd never really wanted anything this badly. He was surprised that he actually seemed to care…even if it was for a different reason. He would have to keep thinking about this.

Back at the Manor, Jessica was having the time of her life. She decided that meeting Paige and her sisters (and her mom) was the best thing that had ever happened to her. She loved the fact that she could say what she wanted and show off her magical skills. She knew she shouldn't go overboard, but she just loved her newfound freedom.

"Hey sweetie, why don't you show us everything that you can do? Magic-wise, I mean?" Prue asked her

"Sure. What do you want me to start with?" Jess replied excitedly

"I don't know…why don't you just go through your list of powers?" Prue suggested

"Okay!" Jess said

Jess levitated high up in the air. Then, she winced at the chair that Leo was sitting on and it burst into flames.

"OUCH!" Leo yelled, and orbed off the chair. The sisters started cracking up. "Sorry Leo! I was aiming for the plant." Jess apologized, and quickly froze the flames. Then, blowing through her hands, an icy wind burst out of her puffed up cheeks and literally froze the already frozen fire.

"That's okay. Man that was hot though. I think I burned a whole in my pants." Leo complained

"Oh, quit being such a baby, Leo. Jess, would you?" Piper asked, smirking at her husband.

"Sure no problem." Jess said, and made a swishing motion with her hand that healed Leo's pants.

"Thanks. I think." Leo replied

"Your welcome. Glad to oblige." Jessica said

"Hey, you didn't say anything about that power!" Paige exclaimed, surprised

"Sorry. There's a long list there, so I'm sorry if I forgot anything.

"That's okay, keep going, this is really entertaining." Prue said, encouraging her daughter

"Thanks a lot, mom." Jessica replied, braving the magical word as it slipped through her mouth.

"Wow…you called me mom. I'm going to have fun trying to get used to that." Prue said with a smile.

Jessica just smiled back.

"Hey, not to ruin the moment here, but the couch is kind of melting, so before it completely ruins everything, Jess do you think you could…?" Piper asked, motioning to the couch

"Sure no problem." Jessica replied, and with a wave of her hand, the couch went back to normal. Then, Jessica stood still up in the air, closed her eyes tight, and tripled herself.

"Hey, that's a really cool power!" Phoebe exclaimed, kind of jealously

"Thanks!" All three Jessica's replied, simultaneously

"Yeah, but I don't think I need three daughters at the moment. One really powerful one is enough, at least for now." Prue commented "Please go back to just one?"

"Sure thing." The Jessica's said, and slid back into the normal Jessica.

"So is that it?" Paige asked

"Why Paige, you sound disappointed. Is my daughter not powerful enough for you?" Prue asked, in a jokingly offended manor

"No, no, that's not it at all. But I thought there was a lot…well, I don't know." Paige replied

"It's okay. I don't think I could handle any more powers at the moment. Oh wait, I almost forgot!" Jessica said, and with that, squinted her eyes at a vase which then fell and broke into a million pieces.

"That was Gram's favorite vase!" Piper shouted in surprise

"Hold on, Piper, she can fix it." Prue replied calmly

Then, Jessica squinted at the vase again, and it flew back together and onto the shelf it was sitting on.

Piper sighed in relief.

"What, you think I'd purposely break something like that? Jeeze. Plus I can fix the things I break." Jessica commented on Piper's sigh

"Sorry. I just get a little anxious about things like that." Piper apologized

"Don't we know it?" Phoebe muttered

"I heard that!" Piper replied

"You were meant to!" Phoebe argued back in a singsong voice.

"Now what?" Jessica asked

"Well… now it's time to start training you. But first, I think you can have a day to rest. You've been through a lot today, and you need a break." Prue commanded in a motherly voice.

"Yes mom." Jessica sighed

"What? You wanted to go on training? No break?" Prue asked surprised

"Well, there are bound to be demons out there who are ready to kill me and I need to be able to defend myself incase anything happens." Jessica pointed out

"Just like her mother's daughter. She's got the Halliwell stubbornness in her too." Paige muttered to Phoebe

"Well, at least take a break tonight. I mean, it's already ten at night." Prue reasoned

"Wow, is Prue actually giving in?" Phoebe muttered back to Paige

"Looks like." Paige said

"Hey, I can be reasonable." Prue replied to both of them

"Yeah, sure." Paige said with a grin

"Alright, fine. I guess I am sort of tired. But where am I going to sleep? And all my stuff is back at the house." Jessica questioned

"Oh, I forgot to mention. I went out and got your stuff a while ago. It's upstairs in Prue's room." Paige replied

"Oh, thanks Paige." Prue said

"No problem. I mean, I figured that's where she'd stay." Paige replied

"Yeah, I guess so. Is that okay with you, sweetie? Would you mind staying in my room?" Prue asked her daughter

"Yeah, that's great with me. Anything's better than where I was this morning." Jessica replied, yawning.

"Aw…someone's tired." Phoebe gushed

Jessica glared at her. "Oh my God. She gave me the Prue glare. She even has her glare? How is that possible?" Phoebe said, somewhat scared

"Um, gee Phoebe I don't know… maybe because she's my daughter?" Prue replied sarcastically

"Oh…right. Sorry." Phoebe apologized

"It's all good. Let's go, sweetie. I'll give you the grand tour." Prue said to her daughter, and they went off, Prue with her arm over Jessica's shoulders.

A/N: Wow that was quite a long chapter! I hope you liked it. I kind of gave them some bonding time. I like how Jessica has so many powers! REVIEW and tell me what you think!
