The Seasons of Life -
Flashback February 17, 1910 A beautiful sunny morning, a 16-year-old Pax Bowen wakes up very ill in her home on Miller Ave. She disregards it as anything serious and goes about her day, but as the day progresses, she gets even sicker. Her mother, Brianna, insists that she get a check up as soon as possible. Worried that something might be wrong, but little did Pax know, that check up would change her life? Monday and Tuesday were long days and the nights were even longer. On Wednesday, she got the call that she was pregnant. Stunned, the 16-year-old had no explanation for what just happened. Fortunately her mother believed her, but what Pax doesn't realize is that her mother comes from a long line of powerful witches. But being a witch doesn't mean that they knew everything. She knew that her mother was a very loving a caring person, and knew that she didn't have anything to fear.
The night that Pax found out about her pregnancy, Melinda Warren, her great great great grandmother, contacted her. That was the day that she learned she was a witch. 7 months later Brianna had made arrangements for her daughter to leave secretly in the dead of night. Nobody would know about the baby, they would assume that it was 2-month vacation. That night Pax is getting ready to go on a life altering vacation to have her child. A child that wasn't even supposed to be born for another 5 years. I've got to give this baby up to a normal family that doesn't have witchcraft in their lives, she says to herself. When she's ready to leave, she looks around because it may be her last time her room or even in her house. February 17, 1924 14 years to the day Pax Bowen has had her child; she and her cousin Peyton cursed and vanquished their evil cousin Paz Russell, and all her future selves to die on the same day. Months earlier, Paz entered into the dark side by a warlock named Anton. He made her believe that her cousins needed to die and she was the one that should kill them. Peyton and Pax realized that they needed something, or Paz would be too powerful and evil for anyone to handle.
On February 17, 1924, Paz stopped by the bar the cousin's ran out of an old Victorian Manor. Anton made the distraction to Peyton in the form of her lover. Peyton realized that she this was a set up. They fought and she managed to freeze him. Pax on the other hand, tried defending herself by using her power to, ice breath, but Paz had a special necklace to protect her from all powers. The two cousins fought until Peyton was able to help Pax. They cursed Paz and all her future selves to die. February 17, 2000 Phoebe Halliwell's past life came back to haunt her. She had to go back into time to figure out why this was happening to her. When she did, she learned of her ill fait, and realized who cursed her, the former cousins that were in the past selves of her sisters. Needless to say, she was a little freaked. Phoebe was able to get passed it. Paz was somehow shifted to the present to Phoebe's present body, with the help of past warlock-lover Anton, so Phoebe was stuck in the past. Her and her sisters were able to lift the curse at the very last minute and save Phoebe's life and vanquish the past threat. 2001 A young New Yorker, Josephine Page, looks out her window enjoying the nighttime scenery. Wishes that she could be part of it all, knowing that she was very different. Different how, she's always wondered, but never could put her finger on it. Josephine decided that she would stop depressing herself, and go back to her work. Working out of her home was a common thing for her. She wasn't big fan about going on into the daytime, because she was super shy. She did however manage to go into the programs firm she worked at, twice a month. As she was working, she turned her head around, watching over her shoulder. She felt as though someone was calling to her, not calling for her. She quickly turned around in her chair. Scared out of her mind, she quickly rose to her feet.
"Hello," as she peeked her head around again. "Is anyone there?" When no one answered, she's too scared to think about it and ignores it by going back to what she had been doing.
The next day she had that same feeling of being called. This time the feeling was of unexplainable loss. Josephine didn't understand these feelings she was having. What more could she do, but go on with her life. She thought if anything my imagination is just getting the best of me. A Year later Working in her office at 9:30 in the morning, Josephine feels a gust of wind blow threw her long brown hair. Freaked, she gets up from her chair, and looks around. Josephine was getting an eerie feeling that this has happened before. She grabs her things and heads out. Hails the first cab she sees.
"Head to the airport! Step on it," she tells the cab driver. He proceeds to the airport, wondering what the urgency was all about.
About 20 minutes of being in traffic, they finally make it the airport. Hands the driver the cab fair, and hurries inside to a ticket counter. She's the first on at the counter. "I need a ticket to San Francisco," she told the clerk. "I have one in about 5 minutes ma'am," the clerk says as he looks up from the monitor. "Good, I'll take it," as she handed him her credit card. A few minutes later he handed her the ticket and the card, and headed for the gate to board her plane.
Once on the plane, she sits down. Looks out the window, wondering why she didn't always do things at the spur-of-the-moment. I'm glad I decided to make to follow this threw. It feels good. It feels right, she thought.
Soon the plane took off, headed for San Francisco. Still not knowing why she was going, she knew she had to. As the plane lands the pull of the call gets stronger and the feeling of loss is getting worse. I don't understand this. Why is this leading my home to San Francisco? Each time I've had this feeling there has been a feeling of loss, she thought to herself. As she gets off the plane, she heads to the rental car place. She then proceeds to drive away, not knowing where she is going, or where she'll end up.
After awhile of driving she turns on right Prescott Street. Looking at every house she sees. Suddenly, Josephine stops in front of an old Victorian House. This is where it stops. Hmmm, I've never been here, but this seems so familiar. I don't understand it. Maybe I should go up to house and see if someone is there. Perhaps I know someone that lives here. She gets out of her car and proceeds to walk up to the house. When she gets to the door, she knocks on the door. Josephine hears someone coming down the stairs. It's a woman about her age with short dark brown hair. She looks sad, she thought. I wonder what's wrong.
The door opens.
"Yes?" the young woman says. Josephine didn't really know what to say so she made up some story.
"Um, I'm not from around here and I'm looking for." she looks at the map. "For Miller Ave. Do you know where it is?" "Miller Ave. Ahh yes. You go down this street, Prescott Street, and you make a left and then you make right. And you can't miss it" Josephine smiles, "Thank you ma'am. I'm sorry if I got you out of bed."
The young woman says, "Oh no problem. I've just had a horrible few days. I'm the only one here today." "Thank you again. I'll go know. Again I'm really sorry," says Josephine. The young woman smiles and closes the door. This young woman leans against the door wondering if she's ever seen that woman before, Nah, she thought, and proceeded up to her room. Josephine thought that it was very odd for her to do something like that. I maybe staying awhile until I figure out why I feel so connected to the house. Possibly to that woman. She got into the car and drove around a few hours be checking into a hotel room. Once in her hotel room, she drops everything lays down on the bed. Suddenly she gets the eeriest feeling someone is in the room with her. she slowly turns around. She screams in horror at the man in her room. He lunges at her as she tries to get away. He catches as she tries to run for the door.
"Please don't hurt me. Take my anything you want, but don't hurt me." "Shut up witch," he yelled. "Witch? I'm no witch," she said crying. "Ah, but you are witch. It's in your blood," said the man. "I have no idea what you are talking about. Let me go. Please. Please let me go," she said screaming.
"I can not let you go. Your kind needs to die. ALL OF THEM." He was about to sling on his shoulder, when she kneed him in the groin. Josephine grabbed the keys, and ran out of there to her car as fast as she could. She drove all around until she realizes where she is. In front of that old Victorian Manor. Oh, I no. I can't go up there. I bothered that girl way too much. There's no way she'd believe what just happened. I don't even know for sure what happened. She pleaded with herself before she finally decided to walk up those stairs. When she got to the door, she knocked on it. Before anyone got to the door, she looked frantically around. Hoping that man wouldn't show up at this very moment. The door finally opened. It was a different girl.
"Yes. May I help you?" "I'm sorry. I was just attacked," Josephine said as she began crying. "Oh, Come in. Come in." Josephine stepped inside the house as Paige closed the door. "Please come in, sit down," said the young woman directing her to the parlor. "Piper, Phoebe," the young woman said "What is it Paige?" a woman answered as she came out of the kitchen. "Paige what did you need?" another woman said as she was coming down the stairs. "This girl was just attacked," said Paige. "This is Piper, my older sister", as she pointed to a woman with the long brown hair. "This is Phoebe, my other sister," she pointed at the other woman with short brown. "I'm Josephine Page." "This girl says she was attacked," Paige said as she was telling her sisters. Phoebe noticed her from this morning.
"You're the woman that came to the house looking for Miller Ave, right?" "Yes, I am," Josephine, pointed out. "What made you come back," Phoebe asked. "I don't know exactly. I couldn't go to the police," Josephine said. "Why exactly not," Piper asked. Josephine took a deep breath before she said anything. "I was at my hotel. I was relaxing and I got this eerie feeling to-to-to run. I turned around and there was a man in my room. I tried to fight, but he was just too strong for me. I just remember kicking him in the groin and I ended up here." "I don't understand why you would come back here," Phoebe pointed out.
"You're going to think I'm crazy, but this man told me I was.a witch. I have no idea what he's talking about. He said all my kind has to die." Phoebe, Piper and Paige all look at each other with an uh oh look on their faces. "Josephine, you've come to the right place," Piper said as she sat down next to her. Josephine knew that she was in the right place, but she didn't know if she should be telling them why she was brought there in the front place. Phoebe sat on the table in front of the couch. "Is there anything else you can tell us about him?" Phoebe wondered. "No, I am sorry. Why did he come for me? I don't understand," she says as she shakes her head. "Josephine no needs to worry. We'll do the worry for you," Paige said. Piper made a gesture for her sisters to follow her in the other room. "Excuse us, we'll be in the other room," Piper said.
"What do you think," Piper asked. "Witch hunter?" Paige and Phoebe both agreed. "What I don't get is why she came back here," Phoebe asked. "Maybe it was destiny," Paige pointed out excitedly. Her sisters just give her a funny look. "Paige, you come with me to the attic," Piper said. "Phoebe you sit with Josephine while we're looking up witch hunters." Piper and Paige went up to the attic as Phoebe walked back in the parlor and sat next to Josephine.
"Tell me a little about you," she said as she touched her hand. Phoebe had an instant premonition. Josephine screamed. Piper and Paige ran back downstairs to see that their sister was having a premonition. When Phoebe came out of it, she was shocked. She didn't quite understand what she had just seen.
"Pheebs what is it," Piper asked. "It's weird, I saw Prue's past self with a baby. Then the imagines just fast forwarded until I saw Josephine getting burned at the stake," Phoebe said. "That's so strange. What does she have to do with Prue's past self?" Paige asked. Phoebe looked at Josephine and then back at her sisters. "I think Josephine is related." Stunned Josephine couldn't believe it. She stood up and walked over the front window. She looked out as she would have done in New York at this time, but something wasn't right. The man had found her. "Oh, my god. He's here," Josephine said as she turned around.
"Paige, orb her to safety,'' Piper demanded. Josephine whispered ORB to herself. Paige walked over to the young woman and took her hand and orb out.
The witch hunter burst through the door screaming, "Where's the witch. I want the witch!!" "You'll never find her," Phoebe said as Piper froze him. "Phoebe go up to the book and find out what there is on Witch hunters," Phoebe took off up the stairs to the attic. When she arrived, she noticed that the pages had turned to the pages turned to what she needed. She read aloud "Witch hunters date back all the way to Salem. They hunt down witch after witch, and burn them at the stake. They feel that with every burning, the witch will feel it for eternity. With each generation, they get stronger. Only one way to vanquish them, and that's with The Power of Three Spell." Phoebe ran back down stairs. "We need the power of three spell," Phoebe says. "PAIGE!" Piper yells.
Paige finally orbed back with Josephine. Phoebe motions for Paige to come to over to her sisters. "We needed you for the Power of Three," Piper said as the witch hunter was coming out of the freeze. They started chanting and as they chanted they could feel each other's powers flow through them: The Power of Three Will Set US Free The Power of Three Will Set Us Free The Power of Three Will Set Us Free The wind picked up out of nowhere, and the witch hunter screams in agony and disappears in mid air. Josephine shocked doesn't know what all this means, faints. When the wind dies down And when everything looks clear, the girls notice Josephine on the floor and they run to her side. The girls help her up to the couch in the parlor. Paige slaps on the cheeks to make her come out of it. Josephine sits up still in a daze. It all comes back to her, but some how she wasn't all that scared now. "Now that we've taken care of that problem," Piper said. "We need to know why she came here in the first place."
She looks around and Piper calls out to Leo. "Leo!" A few minutes later, he orbs in. "Leo we have a problem," Phoebe says. "Yes, I know," he said. "The elders were filling me in on the situation." Piper got this strange look on face. "Well, then tell me what's going on!" Piper exclaimed. Josephine looked at Leo wondering what all this meant. She was afraid to say anything, so she let them do all the talking. "She was called by mistake when Phoebe called for Paige a few days ago," he said as he was looking at Paige. "A couple of days ago, I heard this morning," Josephine finally spoke up. "You chose to hear it then," Leo pointed out.
"But this doesn't make any sense," Paige said. "Phoebe had a premonition of Prue's past self with a baby, and Josephine burning at the stake. Now that we've prevented that, I would like to know if this woman is a relative or not." "She is the great-granddaughter of Pax Bowen, Prue's past life." The girls look at each other taking it all in. There was silence for several minutes. Piper was the first to break the silence. "What are you talking about Leo? Pax Bowen never had any kids," Piper said. Leo took her into the solarium to talk to her. "Piper I know this comes as bit a shock, but it's true," said Leo. She turns away, "This is to much for me. I lost Prue. Gained another sister. Almost lost Phoebe, and now a cousin. Leo! When do they ever leave us alone," Piper said as she began to cry. Leo turned her around and she fought, but eventually Leo was able to hold her in his arms.
Back in the parlor Phoebe and Paige were talking with Josephine. "Now, that you're a witch, I wonder what powers you'll have?" Phoebe wondered. "What the heck are you talking about? I'm not witch! I don't have any powers. This is all a strange dream. I need to wake up. Please walk up Josephine. Wake up now," as Josephine was saying, hoping to wake up. Paige looked at Phoebe and then at Josephine, "I understand what you are going through. It wasn't long ago that I found out I was a witch. Piper and Phoebe tried to explain to me what I was. Of course, I didn't believe anything they said. "That's right. She was very skeptical about everything. Josephine sure was feeling skeptical, but she knew that these girls wouldn't be lying especially after they saved her life. "Why don't Paige and I show you our powers," Phoebe suggested. "You've already seen Paige's orbing," looks at Paige, and my premonitions," As she looks back to Josephine. "Ok, show me what you got," she said. Phoebe got up and levitated in the air, hoping nobody would see her.
"This is one of my powers," Paige says. "I'll call for pillow next to you." The pillow turns to blue and white specs and materializes with in my hands. Stunned Josephine started wanting her own powers, but was a little freaked that this was happening way to quick for her. At the same time, she was very fascinated by their powers. "Wow, those are some pretty cool powers," said an excited Josephine. Who was no longer skeptical about their powers or hers? "What are Pipers?" She says as Piper and Leo walk back in the parlor room. "What do I have," she asks. "What kind of powers do you have," Josephine asks. "I have the power to freeze and to blow up things," Piper said. "When do I get my powers?" Josephine wonders. "Hold on girl, you just found out you were a witch today. There is much to do, and much to learn," Piper said. Paige just rolls her eyes and tries to hold back a laugh because Josephine is in for a long ride, she thinks to herself. Josephine was still scared, but felt that her life, for once, was going in the right direction. A few months later Josephine has transferred to a San Francisco branch of the firm she worked for while living in New York. She lives only a few blocks away from her newfound family. Piper has been teaching her the Book of Shadows, making potions, and stressing the personal gain issues everyday, which Paige failed when she first learned she was a witch. With Piper's teachings, she's learned to trust people, and in herself. Piper treats her cousin as she did to her baby sister. Thus not revealing that she was pregnant right away. Once Josephine gained Piper's trust, Piper let her in on a little secret as they were working on a witchcraft lesson. A secret that would eventually reveal itself in a few months anyway. Josephine was thrilled when she learned of Piper's pregnancy. "That's great Piper! I'm so happy for you!" "We are thrilled. I didn't think I was able to have any, but when we chose to stay with our destiny, that's when we found out.it brought my sisters and I closer together.closer together," Piper said as she was reminiscing about that special day. "Piper!" Josephine called out as she waved her hand in front of her cousin's face. "Oh sorry Joey," as Piper apologized. "Let's get back to work. We still have a lot to work on" Josephine smiled as Piper smiled back at her. Josephine didn't mind Piper calling her Joey. It just seemed so formal to her, but most of all it felt good to be called 'Joey' cause it meant that Piper really trusted her.

It's a woman about her age with short dark brown hair. She looks sad, she thought. I wonder what's wrong.
The door opens.
"Yes?" the young woman says. Josephine didn't really know what to say so she made up some story.
"Um, I'm not from around here and I'm looking for." she looks at the map. "For Miller Ave. Do you know where it is?" "Miller Ave. Ahh yes. You go down this street, Prescott Street, and you make a left and then you make right. And you can't miss it" Josephine smiles, "Thank you ma'am. I'm sorry if I got you out of bed."
The young woman says, "Oh no problem. I've just had a horrible few days. I'm the only one here today." "Thank you again. I'll go know. Again I'm really sorry," says Josephine.

"Please don't hurt me. Take my anything you want, but don't hurt me." "Shut up witch," he yelled. "Witch? I'm no witch," she said crying. "Ah, but you are witch. It's in your blood," said the man. "I have no idea what you are talking about. Let me go. Please. Please let me go," she said screaming.
"I can not let you go. Your kind needs to die. ALL OF THEM." He was about to sling on his shoulder, when she kneed him in the groin. Josephine grabbed the keys, and ran out of there to her car as fast as she could. She drove all around until she realizes where she is. In front of that old Victorian Manor. Oh, I no. I can't go up there. I bothered that girl way too much. There's no way she'd believe what just happened. I don't even know for sure what happened. She pleaded with herself before she finally decided to walk up those stairs. When she got to the door, she knocked on it. Before anyone got to the door, she looked frantically around. Hoping that man wouldn't show up at this very moment. The door finally opened. It was a different girl.
"Yes. May I help you?" "I'm sorry. I was just attacked," Josephine said as she began crying. "Oh, Come in. Come in." Josephine stepped inside the house as Paige closed the door. "Please come in, sit down," said the young woman directing her to the parlor. "Piper, Phoebe," the young woman said "What is it Paige?" a woman answered as she came out of the kitchen. "Paige what did you need?" another woman said as she was coming down the stairs. "This girl was just attacked," said Paige. "This is Piper, my older sister", as she pointed to a woman with the long brown hair. "This is Phoebe, my other sister," she pointed at the other woman with short brown. "I'm Josephine Page." "This girl says she was attacked," Paige said as she was telling her sisters. Phoebe noticed her from this morning.
"You're the woman that came to the house looking for Miller Ave, right?" "Yes, I am," Josephine, pointed out. "What made you come back," Phoebe asked. "I don't know exactly. I couldn't go to the police," Josephine said. "Why exactly not," Piper asked. Josephine took a deep breath before she said anything. "I was at my hotel. I was relaxing and I got this eerie feeling to-to-to run. I turned around and there was a man in my room. I tried to fight, but he was just too strong for me. I just remember kicking him in the groin and I ended up here." "I don't understand why you would come back here," Phoebe pointed out.
"You're going to think I'm crazy, but this man told me I was.a witch. I have no idea what he's talking about. He said all my kind has to die." Phoebe, Piper and Paige all look at each other with an uh oh look on their faces. "Josephine, you've come to the right place," Piper said as she sat down next to her. Josephine knew that she was in the right place, but she didn't know if she should be telling them why she was brought there in the front place. Phoebe sat on the table in front of the couch. "Is there anything else you can tell us about him?" Phoebe wondered. "No, I am sorry. Why did he come for me? I don't understand," she says as she shakes her head. "Josephine no needs to worry. We'll do the worry for you," Paige said. Piper made a gesture for her sisters to follow her in the other room. "Excuse us, we'll be in the other room," Piper said.
"What do you think," Piper asked. "Witch hunter?" Paige and Phoebe both agreed. "What I don't get is why she came back here," Phoebe asked. "Maybe it was destiny," Paige pointed out excitedly. Her sisters just give her a funny look. "Paige, you come with me to the attic," Piper said. "Phoebe you sit with Josephine while we're looking up witch hunters." Piper and Paige went up to the attic as Phoebe walked back in the parlor and sat next to Josephine.
"Tell me a little about you," she said as she touched her hand. Phoebe had an instant premonition. Josephine screamed. Piper and Paige ran back downstairs to see that their sister was having a premonition. When Phoebe came out of it, she was shocked. She didn't quite understand what she had just seen.
"Pheebs what is it," Piper asked. "It's weird, I saw Prue's past self with a baby. Then the imagines just fast forwarded until I saw Josephine getting burned at the stake," Phoebe said. "That's so strange. What does she have to do with Prue's past self?" Paige asked. Phoebe looked at Josephine and then back at her sisters. "I think Josephine is related." Stunned Josephine couldn't believe it. She stood up and walked over the front window. She looked out as she would have done in New York at this time, but something wasn't right. The man had found her. "Oh, my god. He's here," Josephine said as she turned around.
"Paige, orb her to safety,'' Piper demanded. Josephine whispered ORB to herself. Paige walked over to the young woman and took her hand and orb out.
The witch hunter burst through the door screaming, "Where's the witch. I want the witch!!" "You'll never find her," Phoebe said as Piper froze him. "Phoebe go up to the book and find out what there is on Witch hunters," Phoebe took off up the stairs to the attic. When she arrived, she noticed that the pages had turned to the pages turned to what she needed. She read aloud "Witch hunters date back all the way to Salem. They hunt down witch after witch, and burn them at the stake. They feel that with every burning, the witch will feel it for eternity. With each generation, they get stronger. Only one way to vanquish them, and that's with The Power of Three Spell." Phoebe ran back down stairs. "We need the power of three spell," Phoebe says. "PAIGE!" Piper yells.
Paige finally orbed back with Josephine. Phoebe motions for Paige to come to over to her sisters. "We needed you for the Power of Three," Piper said as the witch hunter was coming out of the freeze. They started chanting and as they chanted they could feel each other's powers flow through them: The Power of Three Will Set US Free The Power of Three Will Set Us Free The Power of Three Will Set Us Free The wind picked up out of nowhere, and the witch hunter screams in agony and disappears in mid air. Josephine shocked doesn't know what all this means, faints. When the wind dies down And when everything looks clear, the girls notice Josephine on the floor and they run to her side. The girls help her up to the couch in the parlor. Paige slaps on the cheeks to make her come out of it. Josephine sits up still in a daze. It all comes back to her, but some how she wasn't all that scared now. "Now that we've taken care of that problem," Piper said. "We need to know why she came here in the first place."
She looks around and Piper calls out to Leo. "Leo!" A few minutes later, he orbs in. "Leo we have a problem," Phoebe says. "Yes, I know," he said. "The elders were filling me in on the situation." Piper got this strange look on face. "Well, then tell me what's going on!" Piper exclaimed. Josephine looked at Leo wondering what all this meant. She was afraid to say anything, so she let them do all the talking. "She was called by mistake when Phoebe called for Paige a few days ago," he said as he was looking at Paige. "A couple of days ago, I heard this morning," Josephine finally spoke up. "You chose to hear it then," Leo pointed out.
"But this doesn't make any sense," Paige said. "Phoebe had a premonition of Prue's past self with a baby, and Josephine burning at the stake. Now that we've prevented that, I would like to know if this woman is a relative or not." "She is the great-granddaughter of Pax Bowen, Prue's past life." The girls look at each other taking it all in. There was silence for several minutes. Piper was the first to break the silence. "What are you talking about Leo? Pax Bowen never had any kids," Piper said. Leo took her into the solarium to talk to her. "Piper I know this comes as bit a shock, but it's true," said Leo. She turns away, "This is to much for me. I lost Prue. Gained another sister. Almost lost Phoebe, and now a cousin. Leo! When do they ever leave us alone," Piper said as she began to cry. Leo turned her around and she fought, but eventually Leo was able to hold her in his arms.
Back in the parlor Phoebe and Paige were talking with Josephine. "Now, that you're a witch, I wonder what powers you'll have?" Phoebe wondered. "What the heck are you talking about? I'm not witch! I don't have any powers. This is all a strange dream. I need to wake up. Please walk up Josephine. Wake up now," as Josephine was saying, hoping to wake up. Paige looked at Phoebe and then at Josephine, "I understand what you are going through. It wasn't long ago that I found out I was a witch. Piper and Phoebe tried to explain to me what I was. Of course, I didn't believe anything they said. "That's right. She was very skeptical about everything. Josephine sure was feeling skeptical, but she knew that these girls wouldn't be lying especially after they saved her life. "Why don't Paige and I show you our powers," Phoebe suggested. "You've already seen Paige's orbing," looks at Paige, and my premonitions," As she looks back to Josephine. "Ok, show me what you got," she said. Phoebe got up and levitated in the air, hoping nobody would see her.
"This is one of my powers," Paige says. "I'll call for pillow next to you." The pillow turns to blue and white specs and materializes with in my hands. Stunned Josephine started wanting her own powers, but was a little freaked that this was happening way to quick for her. At the same time, she was very fascinated by their powers. "Wow, those are some pretty cool powers," said an excited Josephine. Who was no longer skeptical about their powers or hers? "What are Pipers?" She says as Piper and Leo walk back in the parlor room. "What do I have," she asks. "What kind of powers do you have," Josephine asks. "I have the power to freeze and to blow up things," Piper said. "When do I get my powers?" Josephine wonders. "Hold on girl, you just found out you were a witch today. There is much to do, and much to learn," Piper said. Paige just rolls her eyes and tries to hold back a laugh because Josephine is in for a long ride, she thinks to herself. Josephine was still scared, but felt that her life, for once, was going in the right direction. A few months later Josephine has transferred to a San Francisco branch of the firm she worked for while living in New York. She lives only a few blocks away from her newfound family. Piper has been teaching her the Book of Shadows, making potions, and stressing the personal gain issues everyday, which Paige failed when she first learned she was a witch. With Piper's teachings, she's learned to trust people, and in herself. Piper treats her cousin as she did to her baby sister. Thus not revealing that she was pregnant right away. Once Josephine gained Piper's trust, Piper let her in on a little secret as they were working on a witchcraft lesson. A secret that would eventually reveal itself in a few months anyway. Josephine was thrilled when she learned of Piper's pregnancy. "That's great Piper! I'm so happy for you!" "We are thrilled. I didn't think I was able to have any, but when we chose to stay with our destiny, that's when we found out.it brought my sisters and I closer together.closer together," Piper said as she was reminiscing about that special day. "Piper!" Josephine called out as she waved her hand in front of her cousin's face. "Oh sorry Joey," as Piper apologized. "Let's get back to work. We still have a lot to work on" Josephine smiled as Piper smiled back at her. Josephine didn't mind Piper calling her Joey. It just seemed so formal to her, but most of all it felt good to be called 'Joey' cause it meant that Piper really trusted her.
