A/N: first and foremost, I don't own anything except Peter Williams and his family. Everything else belongs to the wonderful people who came up with the idea of Charmed.

Hello, everyone. Thank you for reading my stories and I hope not to disappoint you. This is an idea that I got form watching the Charmed series on TV lately. However I have made a few changes. They are as follows:

Cole and phoebe never got divorced. The sisters were able to find a way to vanquish the source form within Cole, without killing him. The child that phoebe was pregnant with was a real child, and he is the oldest of the charmed children. His name is Vincent Turner-Halliwell. He has all of Cole's powers, plus phoebes power of premonition.

Leo is still an elder. He never became an avatar, but because he is an elder he is not around a lot, resulting in tension between him and his three children. He was still married to piper before, well, you'll find out.

Paige and Henry still get married but they only have one son, Henry Jr. Henry Jr. is mostly a whiteliter, but he does participate in some spells.

In order of oldest to youngest, these are the charmed children: Vincent Turner-Halliwell, Wyatt Matthew Halliwell, Christopher Perry Halliwell, Henry Jr. Mitchel, and Melinda Prudence Halliwell.

The two main charters in this story are going to be Melinda and a mortal named Peter Williams.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this story, and please give me feedback. I'll even take negative feedback, just to make this story better…Oh! And this chapter will be in Peters POV.

Chapter 1: News

"Honey, can you come here for a minute?" My mother called up to my room. I growled softly. I wasn't in the mood for small talk. In fact, I hadn't been in the mood to talk at all for the last three months; ever since IT happened.

"Yeah, mom, what is it?" My tone was grouchy, even thought it had nothing to do with my mother. I had always had a problem with that: blaming others for my own problems. Stacey Williams sat in the leather recliner; legs crossed demurely, the daily newspaper in her lap. Shuffling over to the love seat opposite her, I all but threw myself into the chair.

"Son, it's about Melinda." I closed my eyes, as my heart yearned for the fair skinned beauty who had stolen my heart. "Her mother died." I looked at my mother, not sure if she was joking or not. Sure she was never one to joke about this, but how could Melinda's mother be dead?

Melinda Halliwell and I had dated for six months. We had been in love, but I hadn't been privy to her secret until three months ago. My family had been over at her house having a family dinner when all of a sudden a demon had appeared out of nowhere. You can imagine my surprise when she blew him up with a wave of her hands. I of course overreacted and broke up with her. Even my parents took the news about her being a witch better than I did. My pride was the only thing stopping me from going back to her and begging for forgiveness.

"Peter? Honey, are you ok?" My mother asked. She now sat beside me. When had she moved?

"No. How could this happen? I thought she was a—"

"Peter, just because her mother was a witch, doesn't mean she can't die." He voice wasn't condescending, but I still bristled at it. I wasn't familiar with Witch 101. Sighing, I rubbed my stubble laced face roughly.

"How did it happen?" She scanned the paper quickly.

"There was an attack, but the paper said nothing other than that. There seems to be a lot of inconsistencies. But it was probably a demon." Even my mother thought it was a demon. How else would a woman as kind as Piper die so suddenly.

"I should be there for her." I murmured leaning back to rest my head back on the couch.

"The service is tomorrow. Your father and I will go as well." Nodding my understanding, I stood up to make my way up to my gloomy room.

"I will be there for her." I vowed as I lay down on my bed. I could deal with the demons, with the magic. My love needed me, and I wouldn't fail her again.

Well, there's the first chapter. I will probably update the second chapter today as I already have it written out. I just need to type it up into Word, and then you will have the service scene. Please Review!
