Quick Summary: Elders let Patty keep Paige, but take Sam away from Patty. The first chapter is just how it happened. Then it is going to go foward seventeen years. Between Demons and Elders the Charmed Ones are not going to get a break are they?

Prologue

Sam's POV

Patty's hand tightened over mine as another contraction hit her, causing her pain. "Come on Patty, just one more push!" Penny cried out. Patty cried out one last breath, as the hardest push came, and the baby came out in a swirl of orbs. The orbs stopped to show that we had a baby girl. I had never felt as happy in my life as I saw my baby girl. But deep down inside, I knew it would be better if we gave her up so the Elders didn't do anything to her.

"Oh, Sam isn't she beautiful?" Patty breathed. She had Patty's eyes, and my nose. Hopefully she will grow up far away from magic, and live a normal life she so deserves. I kissed my baby girl on the cheek before facing Patty. When I opened my mouth and started to tell her the one thing I never wanted to tell her, Prue came downstairs.

"Mommy, Grams what's going on?" she asked, her blue eyes looking at our baby, her half-sister. The petulant seven year-old glared at them expecting an answer. Before we knew it, little Piper and Phoebe came crawling down the stairs, during all the commotion.

"Prudence, Piper, Phoebe, get to bed and I'll explain it in the morning," Penny said in a strained voice. Prue shook her head no, and her sisters stood by her side. Before Penny said anything, Patty asked her mother to wait.

"Prue, Piper, and Phoebe come here I want you to meet someone." The threesome walked over to Patty on their kitchen table to see the baby.

"Patty, what are you doing? They are going to be here any minute," I tightly whispered in her ear. I said really worried that my bosses would come, and I am not going to let them hurt my baby.

"I am not going to go through with it Sam, I am keeping her whether the Elders like it or not." She turned to the other girls. "You know when Mommy said she was just getting a little fat?" they nodded their heads at the same time. "I was actually making a baby in my tummy. This is your baby sister Paige," Patty said to her girls. "Now I want to you girls to take care of each other no matter what happens." They nodded again. I was about to pull them aside so I could talk to Patty alone, when out of nowhere a searing burning pain hit my head. I heard someone yelling, and it took me a minute it was me howling in pain. Tears started to pour from my eyes as I hit my head on the tile. I saw two pairs of orbs come in.

"We need to take the child, you know the rules Samuel." One of those bastard elders said. One of the Elders walked towards my daughter and I tried to get up to protect her, but the pain intensified and I was back on my back. Paige started to cry and then I saw Piper throw out her hands to try and freeze the Elder, but it just slowed him down. Prue, Piper and Phoebe grabbed Paige's baby hands and instantly the whole room was enveloped in blue lights, surrounding the girls. Suddenly a blue shield shot out and hit the Elder back and the pain in my head stopped. I got up and stood by my family.

"You are not taking her away." I said venom in my voice. One of the Elder's eyes went white and instantly turned to the other elder.

"He is right, combined they are going to be the Charmed Ones." The other Elder shot his head around in shock.

"You are positive?" she shook her head. "Well, it seems you have conceived the Power of Four Miss Halliwell, but there has to be a punishment for breaking the rules. Sam has to go." My heart dropped as Patty's eyes started to get misty.

"No, Paige is not going to be raised without her father." Patty's hands shot out successfully freezing one Elder. Penny walked in front of Patty shielding her from the Elders view. The unfrozen Elder waved his hand unfreezing the frozen one. I am not going to let the love of my life get stuck with this punishment; I bent down and kissed Patty on the lips.

"I am not going put Paige through the life of constantly running. I am going to go."

"Sam no!" Patty cried. "Paige is going to need her father."

"She already has a great mom and grandmother to take care of her." I bent down and pecked a kiss on my baby girl. "Daddy loves you so much. Live your life fully Paige," I walked over to the Elders, and turned around one last time. Penny flicked her finger at the Grandfather clock, blocking my way towards them. "I have to go Penny."

She wrapped me in a hug, and kissed me on the cheek goodbye. "Somehow, we will find a way to bring you back."

I nodded and walked to the Elders. Orbs surrounded me, and the jingling that used to be so comforting, now sounded dead and hollow as I watched my vision of my family leaving me.
