Chapter 1: Stepping Up

Prue sat at her desk typing up an application for a foster child into a school for gifted children. The boy was bright enough to get in that wasn't the problem the problem was getting him the funding to go. Hopefully she could get him a scholarship from the school if she could get all of his paper work done. She really wasn't in the mood to be doing this right now all she wanted to do was either go home or go see Chuck but he was at work too it was Wednesday and he had classes all day. Prue was so deep into what she was doing that she didn't notice right away that someone was standing over her desk.

"Prue do you want to do me a favor ?" Paige asked her niece shocking her out of her thoughts.

Prue jumped at the sudden intrusion into her solitude she really wasn't expecting anyone to bother her while she was working. She flashed her aunt a look of annoyance she could only imagine what Paige wanted with her this time and none of the scenarios she imagined were pleasant. "It all depends on what the favor is Aunt Paige." she answered with a smile of her own.

"Would you go check on Henry for me ? Because your Aunt Piper had to go to P3 this morning and now he isn't answering the phone." Paige pleaded a worried look on her face he had just gotten out of the hospital two days ago after spending almost three weeks in there and she didn't like the thought of him being alone so soon.

Prue stopped short of informing her aunt that Henry was a big boy and very capable of taking care of himself and was no doubt not answering the phone so his mom wouldn't drive him crazy. Besides that he might be sleeping he still wasn't feeling very good. But she didn't say that she said the only thing she could say to keep Paige from worrying. "Fine Aunt Paige I'll go check on him but I warn you he won't like it.". She had to look at it on the bright side at least now she could get away from work for a little while all that paperwork was starting to give her a headache.

"Thank you call me when you find out how he is and you can take the rest of the afternoon off you've been working too hard this week." Paige said going back into her office.

Prue put her papers away in her desk and gathered her purse removing the keys to Henry's truck from it he had relented and let her drive it to work so it wasn't sitting around idle. He was going to be pissed when he found out that his mom sent her to check up on him but it was a small price to pay for the rest of the day off.

Henry was laying flat on his back it was the only position he could lay in and not be in so much pain. If he told his self the truth he didn't feel good at all he hurt all over and he was still running a fever but the doctors had said that was normal and gave him a strong antibiotic to fight the infection. But he wouldn't admit defeat like that not yet anyway he was pissed that he hadn't been allowed to go to his apartment. He had been given a choice his mom and dad's house or the manor and he had chosen the manor. He was glad that Piper had to go to the club that morning so he could have some time to himself to wallow in his pain without her watching him like a hawk. But he wished she would hurry up and get back he had a problem he couldn't reach the remote without being in extreme pain and he didn't want to risk orbing to himself because with all the drugs he was on his orbing was off. He was seriously contemplating calling either Wyatt or Chris to get it for him but then he remembered that Chris was in an IA meeting about what had happened the night he got shot. And Wyatt was in the middle of class right now so there was no way either one of them could come if was to call for them. He knew he should be doing something about the pile of work he had managed to accumulate from school but he just didn't feel like it.

Henry breathed a sigh of relief when he heard someone walk through the front door finally he would be able to end his boredom.

"Henry are you feeling ok ? You didn't eat hardly any of the breakfast I made you before I left." Piper asked eyeing the tray of food on the coffee table in front of him. But she didn't wait for him to respond to her questioning. "Well cheer up Bubba you'll feel better. Look Prue even came by to see you." she continued pointing to her oldest niece.

Henry raised his head some and gave his cousin a weak smile he felt pretty bad he just didn't want them to know it. "Hey Ladybug I guess my mother sent you to check up on me." he said his voice still sounded weak and raspy but at least he was talking.

Prue leaned down and kissed him on top of his head and gave him a big grin. "I always knew you were a smart guy she sure did. You weren't answering the phone she was worried so she sent me over here to check on you since Aunt Piper was at the club." she said confirming his suspicions.

"You can tell her I'm about to die of boredom I dropped the remote and couldn't reach it. So I have had to watch soaps all morning it was not fun for me. And that's not to mention all the work I have to do for school so Chris can turn it in for me. But I have this problem called I'm left handed and that's the arm I got shot in. And let's not forget the fact that it hurts to breathe." Henry groaned as he tried to sit up a little bit.

Piper saw what he was trying to do and rushed to start putting pillows behind his back so he could sit up for a little while. Henry smiled his thanks to his oldest aunt. Piper consulted her watch and said "Hank it's time for your pills and you know you have to eat with them. So I'm going to make you soup and a sandwich that Prue can help you eat." She knew he'd never admit it but part of the reason why he wasn't eating much was because it was hard for him to sit up and eat by himself.

"We're going to have so much fun together this afternoon Hank. Chuck is going to be so jealous that he had to work today and couldn't be here with me and you." Prue squealed pinching his cheeks.

"Oh this is just great the one time I really need my partner or any other Halliwell male they are no where to be found." Henry groaned rolling his eyes at his oldest female cousin.

Leo sat behind his desk in the headmaster's office at Magic School he wasn't really doing anything besides looking over students' progress reports but he surprised none the less when he was suddenly enveloped in orbs. At first he just figured it was one of his boys or Hank that had just orbed him home. But when he materialized he found himself standing in the middle of someplace he hadn't been in over twenty years. He was surrounded by bright white lights and robed figures and he instantly knew that he was 'up there'.

"Leo forgive us for pulling you away from your duties so abruptly but what we have to give you is of great importance. This is the only place we could give it to you without the other side finding out." Sandra said as she, Odin, and the young elder Kevin approached him from the vast brightness.

"And we also have a proposition for you Leo." Odin added knowing that Leo still didn't really trust him after the stunt he pulled when Leo fell from grace.

Leo stood for a moment with a look of total bewilderment on his face until the shock passed enough for him to ask a question. " What is it that you have to give me?" he asked shakily whatever it was couldn't mean anything good for his family.

Seeing the worry etched upon Leo's face Kevin took pity on him and answered his question in a straight forward manner instead of giving him the run around like the other elders always did. "We have a prophecy that you must deliver to the Charmed Ones as soon as you can. But don't worry Leo it's nothing bad this prophecy contains the names of those who will become the new set of Charmed Ones. We however have not been able to make much sense of it and we thought you and the sisters would have better luck." Kevin explained handing Leo a piece of well worn looking scroll of parchment paper.

Leo accepted the scroll and breathed a sigh of relief that his family was not in immediate danger. As he let the idea of the next generation taking over sink he remembered that Odin had said they had a proposition for him. "Now what exactly is this proposition you have for me Odin ?" Leo asked in an urgent manner he wanted time to discuss with the sisters what was in the prophecy.

The three elders looked nervously between each other, each one waiting for another to go first.

Gorgon was walking through a very dank dark part of the underworld even by most demons' standards this section was dark. He had only a torch to light his way. Now that he was source such chores as the one he was now undertaking should be considered beneath him but he wanted no one catching wind of this plan and ruining it for him. Finally he came to the cavern that he was looking for a demon was standing over what looked like a well full of water studying it like nothing else mattered.

"You're the son of Gith are you not ?" Gorgon asked the demon knowing full well the answer.

"Yes the name is Pith my liege and I expected you to come I just didn't think it would take you this long." Pith said bowing before the new source.

"You want revenge against the Halliwells for your father and I know how to make that happen." Gorgon stated studying Pith trying to gage his interest in his plan.

Pith didn't want to appear too eager but he wanted revenge for his father and he wanted it badly. "Just tell me where and when you need me my liege I await your orders." he said with force and conviction. Like his father Gith he had the ability to create separate dimensions. But unlike him he didn't have to feed off of his victims desires to do it.

"Good I'll send for you when I'm ready." Gorgon said flaming out back to his lair he had a plan and this time there was no way for it to go wrong regardless of who got involved.

Gorgon's opposition had a leg up on him sure he might have been the source but he had a seer. The hooded demon was using this Seer to watch Gorgon's every move it was a shame that he had to lose Armes he was a great source of information and now he had to resort to this. He would find a way to stop Gorgon sooner of later.

Leo carefully rolled out the ancient scroll across the living room table to show the three Halliwell sisters what he got from his little meeting with the elders. For the moment he was keeping the deal he had struck with them and all the details a secret Piper was going to kill him when she found our what he had done. When he had smoothed it out completely he set a book on each of the edges to keep it from curling up.

"Leo what the hell is that ? And what is so important about it that you had to call us away from work ?" Phoebe asked impatiently from her perch on one of the arm chairs she was not at all happy about being called away from work she still had her column to get out.

Leo was used to this tone from the sisters he had been their whitelighter for years so he didn't even let Phoebe's words phase him. "This scroll holds the identity of the next set of Charmed Ones." he explained evenly.

"Well Leo what does it say which set of kids is it ours, Phoebe's, or Paige's ?" Piper asked afraid of the answer she always knew that the day would come when they would turn over the reigns to the kids. However it had come too fast she felt that her and her sisters were still in there prime and could be of help to the next set of Charmed Witches.

Leo looked over the prophecy just to get the basics this was the first time he had gotten the chance to look over it. He had come right home after his meeting with the elders. "For a prophecy this is pretty straight forward and plainly worded," he said pausing to look it over some more. "One will be a son of the Warren Line coming from the oldest witch of Charmed magic." he read from the scroll.

"So one will be either Wyatt or Chris." Paige stated from her spot on the love seat next to her oldest sister.

"Well it does make sense we always knew it would be at least one of Piper's kids." Phoebe mused earning herself a sharp look from Piper.

"What else does say Leo ? We only know so far it will be one of our boys." Piper asked wanting to know who in the next generation was taking over so they could prepare them to keep them from losing anyone like they had.

Leo studied the scroll again and read "Another will come from a previously unheard of union that has a cosmic blessing."

"That could be one of Phoebe's kids or again it could be yours and Piper's. Gee whiz Leo I thought you said this was plainly worded." Paige said sarcastically rolling her eyes at her brother-in-law.

"The last will be of mixed blood from a forbidden union and will wield great power." Leo read on ignoring Paige's comment.

"That last one has to be Wyatt he's the only one with great power." Phoebe said it was the only thing that made logical sense.

"That's what I was thinking. So it's probably Wyatt, Chris, and Prue." Piper said following Phoebe's thought train.

"I'm not saying you guys are wrong. I'm just saying why wouldn't be a child from each sister ?" Paige asked a perplexed look on her face.

Leo looked to be deep in thought for a moment Paige did have a point but that didn't seem to be what the prophecy said. "Maybe it's because Wyatt and Chris are the oldest two of the generation and Prue is the oldest girl." he reasoned but still something about that didn't feel right. He studied the scroll with worried eyes afraid that he was missing something. He let out a long sigh when he saw that he had read it right.

"I think you all are over thinking what it says." came Henry's hoarse words from his post on the couch. He had been the only Halliwell child allowed to stay because he couldn't go anywhere else and they all thought he was asleep. Prue had left as soon as Paige showed up and could be with him. She had something to do with Chuck anyway although she didn't say just what it was.

"Bubba sweety I thought you were asleep." Paige said walking over to her son to feel his head. He still felt feverish but the doctors had said he would be for a few days still so she didn't worry about that too much.

"You guys were kinda loud. Uncle Leo can you read what it says next ?" Henry asked he was curious as to what the prophecy said about him.

Leo took up his place where he had left off. " And those three shall make up the main set of Charmed Ones. Unlike the first generation the second shall make up a collective of twelve. The second set shall be made up of the daughter with powers of the mother, one of love, and one of two powers in one." he stopped there so they could figure out who the second set was.

"I think that would be Mel, Val, and either Carly or Patty." Piper said since Mel had all of her powers unlike Phoebe and Paige's daughters.

"Ok lets take that one as a given. Paige read on for me I want to think about this some." Leo said to his sister-in-law who was straining to see over his shoulder anyway.

"The third shall be another new concept a son of mixed blood will lead two daughters for a time. This leaves one to stand alone for a time." Paige read on this was really starting to get confusing.

"So lets say that's C.J., Carly, and Penny leaving Hank to stand alone." Leo said knowing something didn't sound right but it was just the working theory.

Henry tried to make the wheels in his head turn at the pace that they normally did but he just couldn't get his mind to be as sharp as it normally was. "Uncle Leo I don't think that sounds right but I don't know what else it could be."

"Paige does it say anything else ?" Piper asked trying to wrapped her head around what the prophecy was saying.

Paige worked quickly to find her spot and read on " The first and third sets shall have the aid of a half blood and a power that normally only the source has." now they were really confused where would they get a power that only the source would have.

"There is no doubt in my mind that those last two are Chuck and Liz. Chuck is the half blood since he is half demon and Derek is a mortal so only half his blood is magic. And Liz would be the power that only the source has since she is an oracle." Henry explained as he stacked his pillows behind his back to help him sit up. He saw the strange looks that everyone was giving him and said "What ? I was always good at poetry and that's basically all this stuff is. You just have to get one piece of the puzzle right to make the rest fit."

"Actually that sounds right," Leo said and then he took up reading where Paige had left off "neither of the two powers shall be related by blood. But the half blood will be related by magic. Chuck was wiccaned into the family so Hank has to be right. And the last part says the new Charmed Ones will not come into existence until the last two are born to complete the collective."

"That's what Mitchell meant when he said that he and Lincoln were replacements. The collective won't be complete until they are born and they all stand here in the manor." Phoebe said the light going off in her head.

"That's gotta be it Pheebs but we still don't really know which power of three is which." Paige said plopping down on the love seat next to Piper.

"I know I think we might need to call the other oldest four home and tell them." Piper said biting her bottom lip she didn't want to tell them something unless she was absolutely sure.

"Piper I think we should hold off on that until we figure this out a little bit more we don't want to confuse them." Leo said from his position in the floor where he was still looking the scroll over to see if they missed anything.

"I think the main power of three is made up of all males," Henry said and then he looked around to make sure he had everyone's attention when he saw that all eyes were on him he went on "I say this because it says a daughter with powers of the mother, one of love, and one of two powers in one. We know that those are all girls without them repeating the word daughter right ?" he waited to get the nods he was expecting and then he explained more. "And it's explicit when it says that a son will lead two daughters. And it also say it's the second new concept so the first must be an all male power of three." he finished triumphantly now that he had his brain working he was on a roll.

"I get where he's going with this do you guys ?" Piper asked the other three people in the room who all nodded that they got where Henry was going.

"Henry try to explain who you think the main power of three is." Phoebe told her nephew she liked the method he was using.

Henry had to think about that for a minute he really only knew who two of them were or so he thought. "I think the first one mentioned is Chris because it's simple and to the point he is a son of the oldest Charmed One." he said it almost had to be Chris like himself he had no special title like Wyatt did.

"Alright so that's a given one of them is Chris. Now what about the next one ?" Paige asked the room in general. One of them had to be Chris it would only be right after all that he sacrificed to keep the future safe.

"The next two sound like they both could be Wy." Piper said as she shifted in her seat she wished something could just be simple for once.

"Ok Let's go with the second one is Wyatt because his birth was foretold which gives it a cosmic blessing and you're and Uncle Leo's union was unheard of at first." Henry said it made a lot of sense to him but he had been wrong before.

"So we'll put a maybe next to Wyatt. So that leaves us with one more." Phoebe said simply at least now they were getting somewhere.

"Just for the record I think the last one is C.J. a demon and a witch is a forbidden union for sure and Cole was a powerful demon." Paige said he was the only one that fit her and Henry's union wasn't forbidden.

"It could be Hank too though." Piper said oh why couldn't things just be laid out in plain black and white.

"Aunt Piper is right it is me it says will wield great power not he has that great power now but he will have it sometime in the future. And after those stupid tests the elders gave me it only makes sense with them going on about my destiny." Henry explained what a fine mess he was in now as if he didn't have enough problems.

"Yeah and his mixed blood was forbidden because Paige you had to be hidden Sam and Patty broke the rules. I think we have two of the three figured out." Leo said rereading the document just to be sure. But they had made no mistake with the two they had identified so far they just needed the last one.

"That's it I'm calling the boys and Phoebe you call your two." Piper said jumping up off the couch and grabbing the phone.

Chuck picked himself up off the ground he couldn't believe that he had gotten himself into this mess over some girl. But she wasn't just some girl he reminded himself she was his girl and it didn't matter how badly he got hurt he was going to fight for her. "That was a cheap shot Wyatt and you know it." he complained as he got to his feet Wyatt had knocked him on his ass with an energy ball.

Wyatt looked at him with hatred in his eyes and then he looked around his apartment his living room was pretty much trashed. Chris was going to kill him he had just cleaned but Wyatt didn't care at the moment. "No Chuck a cheap shot is you two seeing each other behind my back for over a year. You were my best friend Chuck I thought you understood that my sister and cousins were off limits to you." he said the anger dripping off of every word he spoke.

"Guys come on knock it off you have been friends for too long to act like this. Wyatt you have no say in who I go out with Chuck is a good man who has had your back more than once." Prue yelled at her cousin as shimmered back in with her brother and Liz. When she couldn't get them to stop their fighting after the first five minutes she knew she needed back up. If Wyatt and Chuck listened to no one else it would be Liz she was their best friend and Prue's last resort before calling in the big guns Derek and Piper.

C.J. wished so badly that Hank was up and well because he was strong enough to physically stop them. Jake's only hope was to stand between them and pray that he didn't get hurt. "Both of you need to stop right now before you kill each other." he said standing in the middle of them but he had to move out of the middle when they both came rushing toward him.

Wyatt and Chuck lunged at each other and fell to the ground as they began an all out brawl not that they were holding back before but now they were really going at it. Chuck flipped Wyatt over his head and regained his footing but Wyatt just threw him down again.

Liz could stand the sight of seeing her two best friends go at it no longer she let a long shrill whistle causing them to stop in their tracks. " Now that I have your attention you both need to grow the fuck up and stop acting like babies. Wyatt I love you , you're my best friend and we have a son together in the future but I'm sure you're the one that attacked him. Prue is a big girl she can see who she wants to. Chuck be the bigger man and walk away. If you guys don't stop I'm calling Piper and Derek." she lectured when they looked up but it did no good they went right back to fighting.

Wyatt's cell phone began ringing in the background and Jake retrieved off the kitchen table which was just about the only part of the apartment left untouched by their rampage. He cursed mentally when he saw it was his Aunt Piper calling he had no choice but to answer or risk her coming over to find those to fighting.

"Hey Aunt Piper." Jake said as cheerfully as he could under the circumstances. All the while his eyes were trained on his oldest cousin and his friend. They would kill each other if someone didn't stop them and it was looking more and more like it had to be him.

"Jake what is that noise in the background?" Piper asked Chuck and Wyatt were so loud she could hear them over the phone. Oh damn now Jake really had to think on his feet to answer this one. He hated lying to his Aunt Piper with a passion but he had to do it for all their safety.

"It's just one of the tv's. what did you need ?" Jake lied smoothly. It wasn't a complete lie Chuck and Wyatt were making UFC look tame. It was really very tempting to tell on them but he didn't he just listened to his aunt and watched as they managed to knock the couch over. Hank would kill them when he found out he loved that couch.

"You, Prue, Wyatt, Chuck, and Liz need to get to the manor now we have something important to tell you. And make fast if you guys aren't here in five minutes I'm coming over there to get you." Piper threatened over the phone and Jake knew she would make good on that threat.

"Ok Aunt Piper see you in five." Jake said hanging up the phone. He walked over and put a hand on Chuck and shimmered over to where Prue was and said. "Liz you two need to be at the manor in five minutes see that he gets there." and he shimmered the three of them out.

Chris came out of the conference room where his meeting with IA was held as far as he could tell he wasn't in any trouble but with IA one could never be sure. He just wanted to go home and forget this day ever happened. But still there was something about Matt Hunter that he just couldn't shake.

"Hey Chris how did it go ?" Jason Jackson asked pulling him out of his misery they were partners again until Henry was able to come back to work.

"You know how it goes Jason I'm glad it's over though." Chris said growing even more irritated when he looked down and saw a message From Prue get to the manner now before Aunt Piper kills you.

"What you have a family emergency cause I can lay low tonight if you do." Jason was the only cop outside of the family to know what that really meant and he covered for Chris all the time.

Chris let out an exasperated breath and said "You know it. Take my car home for me." he extended his keys to Jason.

"You got it I'll hang out a couple hours just call if it takes too long." Jason said taking the keys.

"Will do man." Chris said as he went in search of an empty office to orb from. What the hell was his mother and the damn underworld up to this time he was afraid to find out this time. But it was looking more and more like it was the next generations turn to step up.

"Ro come on I need a rush on the order for table three or we're both going to get fired." Mel said storming into the kitchen through the door used by servers this was the third time she had asked him for that order and she was getting royally pissed off. So she had come back there to give him a piece of her mind but her anger lessened when she saw him.

Roman was short staffed back there so he was moving a pan over the flame with one hand and stirring the contents of a pot with the other. The front of his chef whites were covered with grease and sweat he was down two chefs. Not surprising him anymore the head chef was out again and one of the other chefs too. "Mel its done right now I'm sorry we're busy back here." Roman said when he looked up and began plating the food and placed on it on a tray.

Mel took the tray and set on the counter and called "Carly take this to three. I've got to help out back here." Carly gave her a thumbs up and showed her that she understood and Mel went back into the depths of the kitchen. She walked to the hook on the wall and took Piper's chef coat from the rack she put it on tied her hair back and went to stand by Roman. "Tell me what you need me to do Ro."

Roman looked up and gave her a thankful smile. "Thank God you can cook unlike your brother Wyatt. Ok I need you to fire up to steaks for me both medium well." he ordered he was glad to have the extra help.

Melinda put a new pan on the stove and went to the freezer and pulled out the meat and put it in the pan. "Where the hell are Andre and Melissa ?" she asked as she set about her task .

"Andre is doing whatever the hell it is he does and Melissa is out on maternity leave. The better question is where is the boss lady ? She comes in a least once a night." Roman asked if Piper was going to leave him in charge she told him in advanced and then pestered the hell out of him while he was working.

"Ro be glad she isn't here right now we are swamped and she would only make it worse by breathing down our necks. And hopefully she'll stay away until we get caught up." Mel said hoping her mother didn't show up unexpectedly because they would be in trouble for how backed up they were.

"Don't remind me. Ok lets get caught up." Roman said bumping knuckles with Mel. Before they both got serious and got down business. He had to admit she was almost as good as Piper which meant she was almost better than him. But at that minute he didn't care about the competition she posed he was glad to have her help and kinda glad for her company as well. He smiled to himself when he saw the way her hair fell in her face she looked so much like Piper when she tucked it back behind her ear. Even though he knew it was a dangerous thought he couldn't help but think that she was kind of cute. He quickly shook the thought from his head Wyatt would kill him.

Chris walked into the living room of the manor he saw that his three cousins and his brother were already there an ancient scroll laid on the table. Oh great another prophecy that only a member of the Halliwell family can fulfill just what I needed. He thought to himself as scanned the faces of his family members to see how bad it was. Then he caught sight of Wyatt and Chuck both of them had bloody knuckles and busted lips. Wyatt had dried blood caked around his nose and his left eye was black. Chuck had a black right eye and a huge bruise was begging to form on his left cheek. Chris was thankful at the moment that he wasn't an empath because he could feel the hate radiating on both his brother and Chuck and that was not to mention Liz didn't look very happy with either of them. "What happened to Wyatt and Chuck ? They both look like they got the shit kicked out of them. And more importantly why the hell did I have to come home ?" he asked he hoped that it wasn't another demon but with their luck it probably was.

"That's what I would like to know although I do have my suspicions about what happened ." Piper said walking into the room handing both boys an ice pack not that she had any sympathy for either of them if they had been doing what she thought they had been doing. She knew how Wyatt could act over his siblings and cousins. He was very protective and Piper loved him for it but this time he just might have crossed the line. Part of her knew that he would react like this but who Prue wanted to date was her own business. "Now both you put those ice packs on those eyes to make the swelling go down." she ordered the two young men as she took her usual seat on the love seat beside her husband.

Prue took Chuck's ice pack from him and very gently pressed it against the side of his face to bring the swelling in his eye down. Chuck inhaled sharply the ice was so cold it caused his eye to sting more. "Ow Prue that hurt I think I much rather deal with the swelling then the ice." Chuck complained and instantly regretted it because he knew she hadn't meant to hurt him. But she gave him an understanding smile he was in pain and she knew it.

"I don't see why we even have to deal with the ice. Can't Aunt Paige just heal us?" Wyatt grumbled sitting in the floor so Liz could hold the ice pack to his face for him surprisingly enough she was still talking to him.

"No the swelling has to go down first so we can avoid you two having permanent damage." Paige said walking in the room carrying the first aid kit so she could change Henry's bandage's. Henry was sitting up on the couch without a shirt on so his mom could get to his wounds easier. "And I for one would like to know just what the hell happened." she stated as she began working to remove Henry's dirty bandages which were still getting soaked through with blood. She ripped it off and Henry just flinched but he did not yell out.

Chuck and Wyatt both looked down at the floor neither of them wanted to explain what happened they had to tell the truth but they didn't want to tell if they could somehow avoid it.

"Wyatt Matthew and Charles Derek one of you better start talking now." Piper ordered giving both of them one of her famous glares and Wyatt broke first.

"Well I beat the hell out of him because he's dating Prue." Wyatt said proudly no one was good enough for his cousin especially not a half demon.

"Wyatt I told you I'm a big girl I can see who I want to." Prue informed him from her spot where she was tending to Chuck partly to make sure he was ok and partly to piss Wyatt off.

"But he's a demon and that never ends well in this family remember a guy named Cole." Wyatt went on childishly but he shut up when Liz smacked him in the back of the head.

Phoebe gave her oldest nephew a withering look on one hand she was glad he was so protective but on the other hand Prue had to be free to live her own life or she would end up hating Wyatt. "Wyatt, Chuck is nothing like Cole so don't compare them. You know Chuck is a good man and even though you're mad at him right now he is your best friend. Plus I trust him I know he would never do anything to hurt Prue. Like she said Wyatt she can date who she wants now you have to accept that." she began ranting but Chris put his hand on her shoulder to stop her. He knew first hand how frustrating his brother could be.

"Look Wyatt I'm sorry your mad so let's just cool off for right now and we'll try to talk about it later." Chuck said sincerely he didn't want to lose his best friend but he wasn't going to give up Prue either. He looked at her lovingly and knew that being with her felt right no matter what anyone else said.

"You know what that sounds like a great idea because Chris really wants to know why he got called home from work. And a word to the wise my apartment better not be destroyed I just cleaned." Chris said sitting next to Hank on the couch but leaving enough space for him to lay down if he needed to. Wyatt suddenly became very interested with the hole near the knee of his jeans and began picking at it. And Chuck became engrossed with the drawstrings on his hoodie. Their suspicious behavior gave Chris his answer and he groaned inwardly he had just cleaned yesterday and now he would have to clean again.

"Chris is right we need to explain what is going on to you guys and I'll deal with Wyatt and Chuck later. Leo take it from the top honey." Piper said glaring at both Wyatt and Chuck. They knew better than to act the way they were acting but she also knew that Wyatt had started it.

"So I had a meeting with the elders and they gave me this scroll it's a prophecy that holds the identity of the next generation of Charmed Ones and we think that they're going to be all males." Leo said and looked around the room to see the kids reaction to the news.

"So the fate of good rests in the hands of three of these four idiots that I call my brother and cousins ?" Prue asked skeptically a small smile on her face. "Because if that's the case then we're all screwed. Wyatt and Jake work well together, Chris and Henry work very well together but if you try any other combination of the four it all goes to hell." she commented now laughing her ass off. Liz also couldn't contain a laugh and she joined her best female friend in a fit of laughter.

"Yeah that's right but it's also not that simple. In this generation there will be four sets of Charmed Ones, one main set and then three more to make up the power of twelve. We know for sure that one set is Mel, Val, and Patty and that's about all we know for sure." Phoebe said rolling her eyes at her oldest child and Liz this was not a laughing matter. "And could you two ladies be serious ? Honestly you worry about the boys and now I'm wondering about you." she went on suppressing a laugh of her own what Prue had said was true but when she saw the look Piper gave her she grew serious.

"Do we have any idea of who could be in the main set ?" Chris asked he figured one of them needed to find out something. Wyatt was content to just listen and Prue was not going to be of any help to him at the moment her and Liz were still having giggling fits. Henry had been there all day so he might have some answers but he didn't want to get caught having a telepathic conversation with him Piper hated it when they did that. "Because if you want my input I think we could pretty much take Wyatt as a given." he said and his brother look at him and arched his eyebrow.

"No we can't he's the one we're not sure of. The only two in the main set we're sure of are Henry and Chris. So either Wyatt or Jake is going be in a set with two of the girls." Piper explained and then she turned to Henry and said "Hank is the one who got us that far he said it was just like poetry." Chris broke out in a wide grin at that statement it was pretty much a toss up between him and Henry who was smarter and they were both masters with spells.

"Liz and Chuck had to be here because they are mentioned too it says the first and third sets of Charmed Ones can only succeed with their help." Paige said explaining why Liz and Chuck had to be there. She ran her hands through her hair and let out a deep sigh this was going to take a while to hash out. She might as well call Henry and tell him that dinner was going to be late tonight.

The source was trying to deal with the Halliwells the demon with no name knew that and a lot more. He knew that Gorgon hoped to use the two half demons to hold on to his power. But he wasn't going to make this easy for him not at all. He had a plan to shake things up and gain the power for himself. That was why he was meeting with an alchemist right now the Halliwells and the source were going to regret the day they had ever messed with him.

C.J. shimmered into his bedroom that wasn't clean by any sense of the word but he didn't care about that right at the moment. The only thing he cared about was getting into bed and going to sleep that little family meeting had taken a lot out of him and for what. He knew now what he had pretty much always knew he was part demon and therefore he would never be good enough to really be one of the Charmed Ones. He walked into his closet and stripped down to his boxers and placed the close he had on in his dirty close pile. He walked over to his dresser and pulled out a pair of pajama pants and a wife beater. He stumbled over a pair of shoes in his floor and knocked one of his trophies off in the floor since he had never bothered to turn the light on. He bent down to pick the trophy up off the floor and that was the last thing he remembered doing before his world went black.
