Disclaimer: I do not own Charmed or any of it's character's. The only things in this story that are mine are the plot and little Annie.
A/N: This story is an Alternate Universe. It takes place just after Oh My Goddess. Chris is the girls new Whitelighter, but he didn't send Leo to Valhalla. Leo is a full time Elder, against Piper's wishes so her marriage is over. If this chapter is confusing, it's meant to be. I apologize in advance for this.
Piper vigorously cleaned the kitchen as she tried to take her mind of things. Leo was gone. He was a full time elder. He had abandoned her for the last time. As far as she was concerned she was no longer married. She sighed as she cleaned the stove. There was no getting all of the potion residue off the counters. She really considered blowing up the middle island and getting a new one. She was just about to clean out the refrigerator when she heard a crash upstairs.
"Damn it." She muttered and ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs. She ran into her sons room. There was a young girl around Wyatt's age standing in the room with him. Wyatt's shield was down and she stared at the blonde boy in his bed. The little girl turned and smiled when she saw Piper. She ran to her and latched onto her leg. Piper was taken back and looked down at her. The small girl looked back at her with familiar eyes, but she couldn't place them. Her dark curls fells just past her ears. She was beautiful. Piper bent down and looked at the girl closer.
"Hi, there, and who are you?" she asked. The small girl giggled and wrapped her arms around her neck, hugging her tightly. "You're silly." The girl said softly.
"Is dat Wy Wy?" she asked, and pointed to Wyatt.
"Wy, wy?" Piper asked, confused. The girl nodded.
"Ya, Wyatt." She said nodding.
"Yeah, that's Wyatt. How do you know him?" Piper asked. The girl smiled and then giggled.
"Him's little like me?"
"Yeah, he's two."
The girl gasped and walked over to Wyatt. He stared at her with intense eyes, concentrating on her.
"But him's 9! I'm 3!" she said, and walked back to Piper.
"I'm scared, mommy! Where daddy? Why he like me? I'm the baby. Not Wyatt!" she said, her green eyes filling with tears. Piper started into her eyes. Mommy? I'm mommy? What is she talking about?
"Did you just call me mommy?" Piper asked, lifting her into her arms. The girl wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and nodded.
"You mommy."
"What's your name?"
"Penelope Anne, but you call me Annie and daddy says I'm his princess." She says. Piper notices she has a small lisp and decides that's the most adorable thing she's ever heard. She was such a talker for her age. Wyatt barely said two words to anyone, other than his bear. He liked to be alone. She could tell that this one craved attention, especially from her daddy.
"I see. And where did you come from?"
"I came from you, member?" she said and patted Piper's stomach. "I growed in your tummy." She said. Piper was getting more and more confused by the second. She sat Annie down and handed her a couple of blocks.
"You play with Wyatt, and I'll be right back." She said and walked out of the room.
"Paige!" she called and soon a flash of blue lights entered the room.
"What? I was in the middle of a class." She said, slightly annoyed. Piper took her hand and opened the door to Wyatt's room.
"Who's the kid?" Paige asked.
"Apparently mine!" Piper said, as she began to pace.
"Okay, I'm confused."
"Join the club. She just showed up. She said I'm her mommy ,"How is that possible, you and Leo split up. How can you have another child?"
"I don't think she's Leo's."
"Come again."
"I don't think she's Leo's. Wyatt has blue eyes, just like Leo's, and blonde hair, again Leo. Annie has dark curls, almost black and her eyes are green. My hair is pin straight, I have to leave curlers in my hair for hours to get that curl." She explained, as she brushed her hand through her own dark locks. Paige looked back at Annie and smiled. She truly was a beautiful child. Just about that time, Annie looked up and smiled.
"Auntie Paige!" she squealed and ran to Paige, who scooped her up into her arms. Annie threw her tiny arms around her neck and hugged her tightly.
"Do you 'member me? Mommy doesn't. I don't know why. I is confused." She said, pulling back, titling her head to one side, like Piper did when she was concentrating.
"No honey, I don't. But how about you tell me how you think you got here." She said and walked over to the middle of the room.
"Well I was playing with my dollies in my room, and I was pretending they was a family. I think I useded my magic, even though I not supposed to. I was pretending I was going to save daddy from the bad man's and poof! I was here." She said, emphasizing the poof with her tiny hands. Piper was shocked to see that the balls that Wyatt was currently throwing in the air had frozen. Annie 's eyes went wide and she threw her hands down, making the balls continue their descend.
"Oops, I sorry mommy. I didn't mean to." She said and looked up at Piper with sad eyes. Piper smiled and walked over, lifting Annie from Paige's lap.
"That's okay, peanut. It was an accident." she said, reassuring her. Annie smiled and then rubbed her stomach.
"My tummy's hungry. Can I have some cheerios?" she asked, sucking her bottom lip into her mouth and gently chewed on it.
"Of course. Paige can you grab Wyatt?" she asked and walked downstairs.
She found that she was in a dilemma as she reached the kitchen. She only had one highchair.
"I'll hold her, while she eats. " Paige offered. Piper handed Annie over and she began to make bowls for the two toddlers. Paige sat at the table and Annie began to play with the chain around her neck.
"Have either of you seen my phone? I'm expecting a call from Jason in Japan. " Phoebe said and was caught off guard by the screaming child.
"Aunt Phoebe!" Annie squealed as she climbed down and wrapped her little arms around Phoebe's legs.
"Whoa! What's going on? Paige, what did you do?" Phoebe said,
"Why do you automatically think that I did something?"
"Cause you usually do."
"Zip it you two. Paige didn't do anything. Apparently Annie did." Piper said, rounding the island and setting a bowl in front of Wyatt and one on the table.
"Who's Annie?" Phoebe asked, and tried to pry the child from her legs.
"I am, silly!" Annie said proudly and giggled as she ran away to eat her cheerios.
Phoebe turned to Piper then to Paige.
"Someone please explain." She said, rubbing her temples. She was starting to get a migraine.
"She's apparently my daughter from the future. But not the one I saw from the future. I think that child isn't meant to be. But I think she is. " She said, and looked at Annie, who had a milk mustache from her bowl of cereal.
Phoebe was just about to comment on the unfolding situation when their new whitelighter, Chris, orbed in.
"Hey, I have a lead on a string of disappearances . There have been three in the past week, all three crime scenes have been in the forests of the campgrounds." He said, quickly. He got annoyed when the girls didn't respond as quickly as he had hoped.
"Hello, do you guys not hear me?" he asked, then focused his attention on what the girls were so distracted by.
"Annie? What is she doing here?"
