Leo reappeared in the Conservatory to find Piper curled up in a wicker chair, staring out the stained glass windows into the night. He took a seat across from her. Something was bothering her. He could tell.
"Piper, we need to talk," he said.

Jake walked downstairs, just getting out of the shower as well. His damp brown hair brushed, he was wearing tan shorts with his boxers sticking out like Troy's. He then saw Leo and Piper.
"Hey, Mom, Dad, why the long faces? Something up?"

"Piper, we need to talk,"
Piper looked up, pulled from her thoughts when Leo spoke to her.
"Hey, Mom, Dad, why the long faces? Something up?"
Her gaze shifted to her son.
"Something is up. Something with your baby sister," she addressed Jake first.
"And yes, Leo, that is what we need to talk about," she said.

"Something is up. Something with your baby sister,"
"And yes, Leo, that is what we need to talk about,"
"Yes, Jake. Apparently little Anna has no respect for this family or the rules, or, really, has any common sense whatsoever," Leo said to his son.

He sat down in a chair, looking worried now. He'd worry about a shirt later no matter how cold the air conditioning made it in the room.
"I trust Anna with this demon guy, okay? I think you guys should too. But if you want, I'll talk to her, okay? I think you'll get more out of her through me."
He said calmly.

Piper couldnt believe her ears.
"How can you...are you kidding me?" she asked, not upset, but not happy either.
"He's a DEMON Jake. He could kill her, and even all of us. Who knows what else he could be. What if he was really a Darklighter or of he's in league with them? He could easily wipe out over half of our family. And you're okay with that?" she asked, incredilous.

"No, of course I'm not, but Cole and Conner could easily wipe out half of our family too and you still let them in the house so that's not exactly good either. Anna's a big girl now, she knows if anything goes wrong to call for at least Troy."

"Conner is half witch and was raised in this house. And Cole...well, Phoebe didnt know he was a demon when she met him. Anna knows this guy is a demon. Just because Cole wouldnt hurt any of us doesnt mean this guy wont. He doesnt have the history with this family like Cole does. Anna's a big girl, yes, but she's only 16. She's still our child and she still needs to know the rules," she said.

"Fine, you guys slap Anna on the wrist and say 'Bad girl. No demons in the house'. What do you think she's gonna do? Smile, say 'Yes, Mommy' and live happily ever after, or say yes, and then sneak out and meet with him and be out of the safety of the manor?"

"It's not that. She just doesnt understand. Most of you kids dont. Me and Phoebe and Paige have all dated plenty of demons, more than you kids have. We know what will happen. Anna doesnt have nearly enough experience to know what she's doing. She's still a child," she explained.
"Not only that, but she could also get her heart broken. Many demons and warlocks have broken hearts in this family," she added.
"Also, could you really sit there and watch this demon violate and dephile your baby sister?" she asked, arching an eyebrow.

"Mom, you can't protect Anna from all the big bad evils of love. So she gets her heart broken, so did Troy when Faith died but you guys didn't play that card when they dated. They say it's best to learn from your msitakes, but you can't do that if you aren't given the chance to make them. Let her make her own mistakes and figure it out on her own, okay? I'll talk to her about the sexual stuff, but as for her seeing a demon, let her make her own decisions."

She met her son's gaze.
"Troy is not our daughter," she countered. "I'm her mother Jake. It's my JOB to protect her. I'm sick of this 'she's a big girl, let her make her own mistakes' crap. This isnt just about her. It's about the entire family," she said.

"Mom's gotta point Jake. This effects everyone, not just her. It wouldnt be the first time a demon tried to get close to one of us to take out all of us," he said.
"I'm all for Anna's independence, I really am, but she's our baby sister. We cant just let her do whatever she wants, especially with some guy who feels her up after knowing her 10 minutes right in the middle of mom's club," he added.

He rolled his eyes.
"Fine, push her away. She's just gonna sneak off and meet up with him when you slap her on the wrist and say 'no! bad girl!'."
He got up and orbed up to his room.
