Chapter 1

Just a new year (Sorry I gave the wrong link to the wikkia page, here's the real one wiki/MyCharmedfanfictioncharacterinformation_Wikia

Once again it was time for the annual New Year's Eve party. Prue Halliwell was out shopping for last minute New Year's Eve decorations, since the family dog Belle, a 3 year old English springer spaniel, had destroyed all their old ones. Prue's Husband Andy was at the manor dressing their youngest daughter, six month old Paris. Their four year old daughter Payton and two year old son Preston were chasing each other around the room.

Prue's younger sister Piper Halliwell was cooking the meal as usual. Piper's husband Leo and their three children, Wyatt age eleven, Chris age ten and Melinda age seven, were helping her with this task. Melinda was helping out more than her brothers though. Christy Jenkins who lived in the manor with the Halliwell family was visiting her sister Billie.

Prue and Piper's younger sister Phoebe was decorating the living room. Phoebe's husband Coop was placing crystals around the house to keep out the demons. Their seven year old daughter P.J. was helping her dad with this. Their five year old daughter Parker was also helping but was being lazy and simply beaming the crystals into place. Their one year old daughter Patty was watching them from the play pen.

Prue, Piper and Phoebe's younger half-sister Paige Matthews was dealing with her most annoying charge, a nine year old witch brat named Maggie. Paige's husband Henry was the park with their three children. Their seven year old identical twin daughters Kat and Tamora were bossing around the other kids as usual. Their Six year old adopted son Henry Junior was on the swings by himself as usual.

Henry got the kids right shortly before lunch and had to give them baths. Tamora and Kat had gotten into a ruff fight with some bigger kids and were covered in mud, leaves and dirt. Henry Jr. had the nerve to scold them and was pushed into the mud.

As the children all changed into their nice clothes the adults hid everything that could possible ruin or dirty their outfits. Paris and Patty were already in their party dresses looking cuter than ever. The boys simply dressed up in their nicest clothes, but the girls had spent a week at different dress stores looking for the perfect outfit. Parker looked like she was going to a wedding but Phoebe and Coop had decided it wasn't worth arguing with her to buy a less formal dress.

Before the party started Paige orbed up to the attic. It was time to summon Grams and Patty from the dead. Grams (Penny) was the maternal grandmother of Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige, Patty was their mother. Once they were summoned Paige orbed down with them to the living room.

Belle announced the first guests arrive by constant barking. Piper scolded her as she answered the door, it was Billie and her family who had arrived. Billie was a witch and an extremely close friend of the Halliwells, she was also Christy's younger sister. Billie had arrived with her husband Austin, also a witch, and their two year and a half year old daughter Ginny.

Billie and Austin joined the adults on the couch and Ginny joined Preston. Ginny and Preston were frenemies and needed to be supervised when together. The next guests to arrive was Prue, Piper and Phoebe's father Victor Bennet. Shortly after Paige's father, Sam wilder who was a white lighter arrived. Sam normally only visited during New Year's Eve, his grandkids birthdays and Christmas.

Next to arrive was Phoebe's boss/friend Elise Rothman. Elise had brought along her sister Rebecca and seven year old niece Rebecca, Elise knew about magic however sister and niece didn't... Alyssa was Melinda's best friend and flew into her arms for a hug. Melinda and P.J. got along but weren't very close. Kat liked Alyssa but pretended she didn't because of her sister. Tamora and Alyssa were not friends at all.

The last to arrive was the families close friends the Morris family. Darryl Morris and his wife Sheila had known the Halliwell family for the past sixteen years, and knew about their magical secret. In fact Darryl worked was an investigator and the Halliwells had helped him on a lot of magical cases. They had brought their sons Mikey age fifteen and Darryl Junior age twelve, both boys also knew about magic. Mikey joined his parents and the other adults, Darryl Jr. joined Wyatt. Darryl Jr. and Wyatt were buddies but not super close.

Paige joined the other adults in the living room and they started up a conversation. Wyatt, Darryl Jr. and Chris were talking among themselves about girls, yep they were that age. The twins were playing with Henry Jr., while Melinda, P.J. and Parker we're playing with Alyssa, it shocked Phoebe and Coop that P.J. was playing with them, she was such a shy girl. Payton was attempting to play with her brother and Ginny however she was being ignored by both of them. Patty was walking around just to keep moving, and Paris, who had just started to crawl was crawling about.

Then all of the sudden with no warning Paris did the unthinkable. She came into her powers right there in the middle of the living room when she orbed a bunch of toys to her. Rebecca and Alyssa screamed which frightened both Patty and Paris who orbed/beamed out for a few second then orbed/beamed back. After seeing this Rebecca took Alyssa hands and they ran out of the manor screaming all the way to their car.

"Sorry to cut this short, but I have some explaining to do" Elise stated then added "It's about time though, see you at work tomorrow Phoebe."

"Oh Paris what am I going to do with you" Prue asked as she picked up her infant.

"Ha-ha you're friends with a scardy cat" Tamora teased.

"Say that again and I'll orb you into a volcano" Melinda snapped.

"Not if I orb you in first" Tamora stated.

"Ok there will be no orbing your cousins or siblings in volcanos" Piper stated sternly.

When supper came around Piper, Henry and Andy set the table and everyone gathered in the kitchen, either sitting at the table or standing. Before they could eat they had to make the traditional toast, this year they allowed Wyatt to do so.

"Wow 2014 you went by fast, let's hope 2015 goes slower. I hope this year will bring good memories for everyone around the world, except demons. I hope Rebeca and Alyssa will be alright after what they've seen tonight and will not need counseling. To 2015" Wyatt stated lifting up his glass.

"To 2015" everyone copied.

"Thank you Wyatt that was very…um…unique" Leo stated.

The family could all sit at the table along with Billie and Ginny, everyone else had to eat in the living room where couches and chairs were conjured up for parties. Paige and Henry went around serving everyone, toddlers first, then the children, then the teens and finally the adults. Grams and adult Patty didn't eat because dead people don't eat.

When the party ended that night it was time for the hardest part of the day- getting the kids into pajamas, ready for bed and getting them in bed. Wyatt, Chris, Melinda, P.J., Henry Jr. and Payton were easy and never put up a fight. Parker kept beaming around the manor making her parents chase her, however when Christy threatened to lock her in magic prof room for the night (aka Christy's bedroom) Parker settled down and beamed into bed. The twins were jumping on Kat's bed, Paige and Henry had learned just to let them and they would eventually fall asleep from losing all their energy jumping and screaming. Preston would only go to bed if Prue and Andi allowed him to sleep with them, which they did. Patty and Paris took a while to fall asleep but eventually did.

Once Paris was asleep Prue placed in her crib, which was located in Prue and Andy's room. She then turned towards her bed and saw Preston was fast asleep. She nodded to Andy who orbed Preston to his bed, this is how they did it every night. Most night Preston slept through them, however sometimes he would wake in the middle of the night and return to his parent's room. This was not one of those nights.

A week later the kids were back to school after the Christmas break. Melinda usually met up with Alyssa near the front doors when Rebecca dropped her off. However this time she went straight to swings alone. Not long after Alyssa approached her. (Alyssa had long brown hair and brown eyes like Melinda, that day her hair was tied into two braids on the side as usual, she was wearing blue jeans and red sparkly shirt, on her back was her white school bag that had little pink hearts all over it.)

"Hey Melinda why didn't you wait for me by the doors today" Alyssa asked as she sat her bag down next to Malinda's green bag that had a dog like Belle on the front.

"I thought you'd be scared of me now, since you know my secret" Melinda replied twirling her loose hair in her fingers.

"I'm not scared, my auntie Elise told mom and me that you're a good witch and that you help stop the bad creatures from hurting all the good people" Alyssa stated.

"Would you like to see some magic" Melinda asked and Alyssa nodded excitedly.

Melinda smiled got off the swing, she walked towards Alyssa until she was right in-front of her. Melinda looked around to make sure no one was watching, the held out her hand. She beamed a cone of Chocolate ice cream in her hand. Alyssa clapped amused and Melinda gave her the ice cream then beamed herself one.

"I'll answer any questions you have, I just can't use my magic in-front of people who don't know about magic, and I can't do magic for you all the time" Melinda stated.
