Prologue
October 31st, 2008: Halliwell Manor
The full moon was setting outside in the autumn weather of San Francisco and a cry was heard inside the Halliwell Manor. But it was a good cry –it was the sound of a newborn baby crying. "Oh Piper, you have a beautiful baby girl." Phoebe gushed as she and Paige wiped all the blood off the newborn before wrapping around a blanket on her and gave her to Piper. "You have finally got your daughter."
Piper had tears in her eyes as she held the baby in her arms. The mother of three now gasped when her child opened a pair of brown eyes. Piper looked up at Leo and grinned, "We have a daughter." Leo smiled back and leaned in to kiss the top of his daughter's head then to his wife's lips. The sound of the front door shut caused the baby to cry once more.
"That's probably our men with the kids." Paige said and grabbed Phoebe's hand. "Let's go sis before the boys run up in here."
Phoebe and Paige walked downstairs and choked on her their laughter seeing their husbands on the couch, looking tired and miserable as their father-in-law, Victor sat down on the floor with his ten month old granddaughter Alexandra, four month twins Pandora and Patricia, two year old Henry Junior, five year old Wyatt, and two and half year old Christopher. Alexandra was in her Cupid costume, matching the colors of red and pink like her father, Henry Junior was in a batman costume, and Wyatt and Chris were dressed like cowboys.
"Well?" Victor asked. He and his son in laws walked around the neighborhood for two hours to trick or treat with the kids but when Phoebe called him and told him that the delivery may take a while, Henry and Victor took their cars and drove to Victor's neighborhood to get more candy. But now he was impatient, wondering how his daughter is doing
Phoebe smiled, "It's a baby girl!"
"Oh!" Victor smiled and laughed turning to his oldest grandsons. "Do you hear that boys? You got a new sister."
"Can we see her?" Wyatt asked, wanting to see the new baby.
"Of course you can, kid. Go!" Paige said.
Wyatt and Chris dropped their candy bags and orbed to their parents' bedroom, and found their mother, sitting up on the bed with their dad by her side, while she holds a small bundle in her arms. The boys never have seen their mother look so tired and sweaty before. "Hi guys, so you want to say hi to your baby sister?" Piper asked.
Wyatt and Chris walked to their mom's side of the bed and stared at their sleeping sister. "What's her name?" Wyatt asked.
"Mellie," Chris blurted out and the parents stared at their son in shock.
"How do you know that, Chris?" Leo asked his son.
But the two and half year old just shrugged, "I don't know. Her name just came up in my head and it said Mellie."
At the sound of that nickname, a pair of dark brown eyes opened. Those eyes stared at her brother's jaded eyes.
"So her name is Mellie?" Wyatt asked, confused.
Piper chuckled, "No. Her name is Melinda Prudence Halliwell."
Leo looked at his sons staring at their new sibling but his happy expression quickly changed when he stared down at Piper and saw her famous worried look. Leo did not need to have magical powers to know what his wife is thinking. It is the same thing she and her sisters were worried about when Chris was born. "Do you boys want to continue trick or treating?"
"No." Both boys said neither of them taking their eyes offs their new sister.
Piper chuckled, "She will still be here and besides, Melinda needs her rest and so do I."
"How about all three of us will go downstairs with your uncles, cousins, and your grandpa? I want to see how much candy you boys got." Leo said.
"Okay." Both said in union and grabbed their dad's hand as they all disappeared in blue and white orbs.
Piper shook her head. Tonight was the only night she would allow her sons doing their magic and she did not have the energy to lecture them about orbing. Carefully, Piper got off the bed and put Melinda in her crib, putting the charmed blanket over her small form. She could not believe that she finally has a daughter. Phoebe and Paige came in the room with a tray of cookies and tea. The sisters sat between their oldest sisters on the bed as they drank their tea. "Looks like that daughter you saw in the future did come true." Phoebe reminded her when she, Piper, and Prue accidently went to the future and Piper saw Melinda.
"That was the one thing that did come true," Piper mumbled sadly.
Phoebe sensed distress from her older sister and asked, "What's wrong?"
"We can't tell them." Piper blurted out.
"Uh, tell who what?" Paige asked.
"We can't tell our children about the future –the other future. Chris said Melinda's nickname and we didn't decide on any baby names because we didn't know the gender of the baby." Piper explained. "Leo and I didn't really think that we would have Melinda or not. When Chris said that name, all I could remember was that teenage girl from the other Chris's memories. The girl who hunted and killed demons, hated Leo, and dated Caleb. Chris should have never known that name. I don't want any of our children to remember that future –if they do remember it."
"So you want us to lie to them instead?" Phoebe said.
"You're not really lying technically. Wyatt and Chris have such a great relationship right now and you saw when I made that spell three years ago, the good Wyatt does not even know what Chris did for him. Chris died for him." Piper reminded them. Paige shivered, remembering how the other Chris died in this same bedroom. "I don't want Wyatt feeling guilty or Chris feeling like the weight should be on his shoulders. They're so young –they were so young before. For goodness sakes, they were in their early 20's."
"Piper, are you sure about this? I mean, are you sure we should keep this a secret from all of them especially from Angelica and Caleb?" Phoebe questioned.
Piper nodded her head, wiping a tear from her cheek. "Yes, I'm positively sure. If one of them does remember, then Leo and I will tell them. I will tell Amanda and Charlie later but I hope that you two will keep it a secret from your children as well."
Both sisters looked at each other, knowing that this was a bad idea but it was to protect their children. Hopefully, they will see it that way especially Wyatt and Chris. "Alright, we will keep it a secret and so will Henry and Coop." Paige told Piper. "But if our kids start asking questions, then we will tell them Piper."
"But Piper are you really sure? If we do this, you know Chris will hate you for keeping this a secret." Phoebe said to her, remembering the other Chris and his angry expressions.
Piper nodded her head, "I can live with that."
A/N: Yeah! I am finally updating the sequel to "In His Soul"! And soon, I will put photos on my profile to show you what the characters look now. Since Chris changed the future and everything else, somethings may or may have not changed like the ages of his cousins.
Anyways, please comment and let me know what you think about the story so far!
