Alistair walked up the stone path in the pouring rain. That blasted woman was up to no good and he knew it. He started to bang on her door and received no answer. He could hear people talking. "Damn it Tabitha! Answer the blasted door!"

A few moments later the door opened, "Alistair Crane! What in the world are you doing here?"

"I came to find out what your doing Tabitha."

Tabitha rolled her eyes, "Come on in. Not like I can keep you out."

"Why not cast a spell like last time."

"I would but my powers are taken away."

"You always were a weird witch."

"Oh stuff it you old goat. Tell me has Julian figured out his father has powers?"

"No Julian's an idiot, sadly, the man had no idea how it is I know everything that goes on."

"Julian never was the bright one, and what about Sheridan, have her powers come to play yet?"

"No, and you know it. If they had Julian wouldn't be able to play around with her love life the way he does."

"Now, now Alistair, that's part of your fault as well. You egg the boy on."

"Now, now Tabby dear. Would you want our children to know their mother is a crazy witch?"

"I'm not crazy, I'm evil." Tabitha said rolling her eyes. "Maybe having Julian and Sheridan not know their mother is what screwed them up. Did you ever think of that Alistair?"

"Oh now you want to be a mother to them?"

Tabitha rolled her eyes, "Might as well tell them the truth before you screw them totally up."

Alistair laughed, "Why so they can start carrying dolls around?"

"Timmy isn't any old doll!" Yelled Timmy as he ran into the room.

"Dear lord Tabitha! He's alive."

"Of course Timmy's alive you evil, evil man!" said Timmy.

Tabitha started to Laugh, "Timmy, meet my husband Alistair Crane, Alistair, my doll Timmy."

Chapter 2

"Timmy's princess is married to the evil Crane man?!" Timmy asked with his eyes wide open.

"Evil Crane man? What on earth have you been telling this doll Tabitha?" Alistair asked.

"I've only told him a few things. He's picked up the rest from listening in on TC, Sam, Ivy, and Eve."

"Yes, I take it none of them are too thrilled with me. That Grace woman however, seems to be very trusting." Alistair noted.

"Only because she has no idea what she, you, I, or that niece of her really are."

"Grace isn't that Grace, is she."

"The very same! She lives right next door. She still hasn't gotten the first few years of her life back, which is very good."

"Yes it is, if she ever got those back we'd be in trouble."

"Big trouble! She gets it back and she might recall that Faith and Julian had been together on several occasions, including the last one right around the time little Charity was concived."

"You mean that annoying child that has the 'visions' about Eve and Julian?"

"Yes the very same. She's Julians daughter, that's why her powers are so strong." Tabitha explained.

"No getting her to the 'darkside' I take it?"

"Her goodness always wins out. If only she was more like Julian." Tabitha said as an idea hit her. "That's it!"

"What's it?" asked Timmy and Alistair.

"Chairty just needs to spend some quality time with her father so she can bring out the evil side to her!"

"How are you going to arrange it? Julian has no idea the girl is his and she has no idea who he is. Except that he's a Crane."

"Oh like being a Crane is all it's cracked up to be!"

"It's wonderful, if you use it correctly!"

"Will you two stop it please?" asked Timmy as he stood between the couple. "You two have more fire then Sam and Diane."

"What are you talking about Doll?" asked Alistair.

"Never mind, Ali with know when he's ready." Timmy said.
