Chapter 1 Twins

Piper Halliwell was in her kitchen at the Halliwell manor mixing a white cake mix when Paige Mathews suddenly appeared in the midst of sparkling orbs. In her arms were two little pink bundles.

"Hi, babies!" Piper exclaimed while handing the spoon in her hand to her daughter, Melinda, who promptly started to lick the cake batter off. She took Patricia out of her mother's arms and gently rocked her up and down. "You look horrible." She noted as she took in Paige's disheveled appearance.

"Twins," Paige replied simply as she stole one of the uneaten French toast sticks off of the kitchen table, "Thanks for watching them today. With Henry working overtime and all of my charges seeming to need help constantly, I had no idea what to do with these two."

"I'll always be happy to watch them. You know that." Piper sat her load in the highchair where she knocked some warm gush off onto the floor.

"You sure you can handle two of them?" Paige asked as she transferred Pandora to Piper's arms.

"I have three rascal children," She looked to her five year old who smiled contently while she swung her legs back and forth of the chair. "who have magical powers. I think I can handle two who haven't come into theirs' yet." Piper answered. Paige hugged her swiftly and as she orbed out she could hear Piper say, "Your mommy is silly, you know that."

In a cavern deep in the underworld on man was kneeling in front of a hooded figure.

Your highness, "he started, "I do not understand."

"What is it you don't understand, servant." A bored female voice asked.

"Why are we going through so much trouble to get a Charmed child and yet we are not trying to get the twice blessed or the half elder or even the part cupid? Why risk our necks going after those with barley enough power to fill a teaspoon?"

"Ah, but you see you are assuming she is not powerful, just as everyone from the elders to her own parents do, because of the powers the other children hold. They don't know what she can do yet. No one has seen the extent of her powers. I promise you this Melinda Halliwell is more than anyone can even fathom."
