A/N:To understand the friendship between Tommy and Paige please reference my story Because of You

Tommy was ready when Trent arrived in San Francisco and to his home where the pack would gather to welcome him into the pack officially.

"Welcome, Trent, it's good to see you again." Tommy said.

"Montana was great but... I missed you guys." Trent admitted. "I heard you have a new baby."

"Yes" Tommy replied.

Weeks passed and Trent made a seamless entry into the Golden Gate pack and it became clear that he wanted Kira. His wolf had chosen her as his mate and it was up to Trent to figure out how to bring Kira to them.

Tommy watched as Trent tried to figure out how to get Kira. Tommy knew Kira loved Trent but the fact that Trent was a werewolf made her nervous. Was there any risk to her? She knew Tommy took care of her but she didn't understand what it meant to be mated to a werewolf, and for all Hayley's experience she had a hard time explaining exactly what Kira could expect from Trent now. Being able to talk to Mercy about it made a lot of things clear for Kira and she decided that she did want to give a relationship with Trent a shot to see where it would go. She had loved him before and her feelings only grew stronger as he was there when she needed him the most.

Paige was shocked to learn that Tommy had moved into San Francisco along with Kira and his new wife, Hayley. She had heard of his supposed death, her brother-in-law informed her that wasn't actually the case as Tommy was a future white lighter and he would know if he was actually dead.

"What happened that would make him feign his own death like this?" Paige asked.

"I wouldn't let him know you knew this but Tommy is a werewolf."

Leo explained what that meant and did his best to implore Paige to let Tommy inform her on his own if he wanted her to know he was a werewolf or not.

"Okay, but I want to check on him either way." Paige replied.

Tommy looked out as he heard a VW bug pull into his driveway. He looked out as Paige got out of the car. He hadn't spoken to her in several years and he wondered what brought her to his house. As far as he knew Paige had no idea where he was living which made her presence all the more puzzling.

Kira answered the door and let Paige into the house then guided her to the living room where Tommy stood waiting for them a baby in his arms.

"Hi, Paige." He said.

"Hi Tommy, I just wanted to check up on you, I heard you were in town." She smiled "Who is this?"

"This is my daughter, Samantha." Tommy said happily.

"How old is she?" He asked.

"Four months old, its so great watching her grow up and learn about the world around her." He said.

"I remember when my nephews were that age, they were so fun to watch explore the world around them."

"It is," Tommy agreed.

Hayley entered the room and introduced herself before taking Samantha.

Tommy let her take their daughter, the smell of magic making him want to get his family away until he learned what kind of magic he was dealing with. He knew it wasn't fae immediately as he had seen a lot of fae in the Tri-Cities so that left some sort of witch.

He was fairly certain she wasn't a black witch as he didn't think a black which could be so loving.

"Is something wrong?" She asked.

"That depends on why you're really here and what your intentions are."

Paige noticed the atmosphere change as instincts took hold.

"I just wanted to check on you and welcome you to the neighborhood." Paige replied "Why are you acting like this?"

Tommy shoved his wolf down, Paige had never given him reason to doubt her before.

"Magic, you have magic, what kind?" He asked

"What makes you think I have magic?"

Tommy explained his new abilities including the ability to smell magic.

"Wiccan," she replied simply and that answer put Tommy at ease. Wiccans wouldn't harm his family or pack. Paige explained to Tommy what her abilities were and Tommy realized this was a perfect opportunity to get a witch on retainer for the pack despite his dislike of magic. He offered her the opportunity but she admitted she would have to consult her sisters about it.

Trent stood by Kira and Hayley, ready to protect them at the first sign of trouble, but he began to calm down as he saw his alpha calm down. He had no idea what was said but if his alpha didn't think it was a threat it likely wasn't.

Later that week Tommy went to speak with the Halliwell sisters about his proposal.

"I don't know this sounds dangerously like personal gain and our powers tend to backfire under those conditions." Piper said.

"Actually I've spoken to the elders about this and they say it qualifies as work towards the greater good as it keeps the human population from knowing too much about the werewolves so if you girls want to do this it would be fine." Leo explained"If it were you Paige the elders would make it so they were your only charges."

"Excuse my ignorance but how would that change anything?" Tommy asked.

"It means that all you would have to do is yell for Paige and she would transport to your location." Leo said. "Paige your sole responsibility as a white lighter would be the pack if you do this."

"I think I can handle that." Paige said.

"I need to be completely open with you all, my experience with magic hasn't been that great." Tommy confessed.

"What happened?" Phoebe probed. She could feel that making himself vulnerable this way made him uncomfortable. "Your secret is safe with us."

He told them about the power rangers.

"Their enemy, a dark witch, chose me to be her green ranger and used her magic to control my mind. She tried to make me kill my best friends and I almost succeeded. Ever since then I've had a more than healthy dislike of magic."

"That's completely understandable, Tommy, an experience like that would leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth. She turned you into a slave, took away your free will with magic that you didn't know existed much less know how to fight against." Piper said"Just remember, we are Wiccan white witches, we wouldn't ever do that."

"You might get more than one sister at a time because their power is magnified by numbers." Leo said.

"Do you have any pictures of your little girl?" Paige asked.

"You have a daughter?" Piper said in surprised.

"Yeah, this is her and my foster daughter, Kira." He said pulling a picture from his wallet of Kira holding Samantha.

"Their both beautiful girls." Piper said, "How old?"

"Kira is 20, Samantha is almost five months old." Tommy said.

"I heard Kira is a singer/songwriter, is she looking for gigs, I own a small club and I'm always looking for new talent."

"I'll let her know." Tommy replied.

"I'll get you a card so if she decides she wants to tryout she can just call in. She can come in and perform but I can't serve her anything other than water or regular soda until after her next birthday.

"I understand." Tommy said.

"You're welcome to stay for lunch if you want." Piper offered.

"I've got to get back to the university, but thank you anyway." Tommy replied.

"Maybe you could bring your family one day and we could have dinner together." Phoebe suggested.

"Sounds good to me." Tommy smiled as Piper got the card for him.

"I wrote the house number on the back if you can't get ahold of me any other way." Piper said.

Tommy left and Piper sighed.

"Well looks like we're working with werewolves now. Should we put a page in the book on them?" She asked.

"I will." Paige offered. "Tommy told me a lot about his kind of werewolf."

Tommy sighed as he pulled his Jeep into the university parking lot, having a witch on retainer would make his life easier, the fact that it was Paige Matthews made him all the surer that he made the right choice. He knew Jason wouldn't question his choice, he knew Tommy wouldn't do anything to risk the lives of the wolves in his pack.

Trent sighed as he watched Kira work on a new song, he didn't know how he had managed to get so lucky as to get a girl like her to like him especially after he had hurt her so bad as the white ranger. How could she forgive him so easily after all he put her through?

He walked over to her and smiled as she stopped to look at him.

"Is everything okay?" She asked.

"I'm just wondering how you can forgive me after everything that happened." Trent said.

"That was a long time ago, and you weren't in control of yourself." Kira replied "What kind of person would I be if I held that against you?"

Trent embraced her and felt his wolf relax in contentment as her scent filled his nose. He loved her and his wolf had decided she was theirs so he would do what he could to make that happen.
