Thanks for reading my story! XD
Okay, let me just say some things.
First of all, I love Charmed and spent ages looking on Charmed wiki, and this is exactly how Paige and Henry came to adopting Henry Jr.
Secondly, the year is 2008, if you were confused.
Hope you enjoy it :D
Unfortunately I do not own Charmed.
Paige Matthews was walking down the street a few blocks from her house. She was walking towards the grocery store to pick up some milk for Kat and Tamora, her twins. They were a few months over two years old. She was walking, not orbing because she was putting on the pounds after her pregnancy and she wanted the unwanted weight gone, and she wanted it gone now. A sudden gust of wind made her shiver and she rubbed her bare arms, noticing the goose bumps running all the way up her arms. She regretted not putting on that jacket. It was mid October, and starting to get cold again. She walked a bit quicker, trying to get warmer. She looked at the autumn trees, and all of the different coloured leaves.
'I could look at these trees forever...' she thought to herself. She remembered sitting on the park bench with her sisters in the autumn, talking about life, love, everything really. She remembered sitting on that same with park bench with Henry, her being newly pregnant. She remembered talking about their soon to be baby, and possible names for it. Little did she know she was going to end up with twins! She grinned when she remembered Henry's face when she told him she was having twin girls.
Just then, as Paige was walking along the street shivering, grinning like a fool, she heard a scream. She stopped in her tracks. All thoughts of happy memories and low temperatures were forgotten. She looked around her, searching for the source of the noise. She saw an alley up ahead and she jogged up to it. She looked around the corner and saw a demon. The demon was just taller than her, and it had its back to her. It was red all over and was wearing random bits of torn cloth about its person. It was attacking a young girl, who was backed up into the corner of the alley, crying and begging to the demon. Before Paige could stop it, the demon raised its hand and slit the poor girl's throat. The girl made a gurgling noise and fell to floor, lying on her back. Paige cried out and ran into the alley.
The demon turned around and saw Paige running towards it. It started to run towards her. Paige stopped and looked around the alley for some sort of weapon. Then, she saw the perfect thing in a garbage can. She couldn't believe her luck. She held out her hand.
"Baseball bat!" The baseball bat orbed out from the garbage can and into Paige's hand. The demon stopped in its tracks and widened its eyes. The girl was a witch! It needed to be careful, now. Paige advanced on the demon, swinging at its head. The demon dodged, but Paige anticipated it. She swung again, this time hitting it in the stomach. The demon staggered backwards. Paige kicked out and struck the demon in the stomach, yet again. The demon fell on its backside. It looked at Paige for half a second, then drew a knife from its belt. With a roar, it threw the knife at the witch. Paige's eyes widened. She threw out her hands and orbed the knife around and into the demon's chest. The demon staggered to its feet, roared and exploded in flames and smoke.
Paige ran over to the girl. She was lying on the ground, not moving, not breathing. Paige felt her pulse, and let out a held breath. She shut the girl's eyes. She looked over her, and noticed something she failed to see before.
The girl was heavily pregnant.
Paige's mind went into overdrive, thinking over every possibility and every outcome and any strategy that she could use to save the baby inside the dead teenager. With nothing else to do, she held out her arms and yelled "Baby!"
In a swirl of orbs, a small newborn baby appeared in Paige's arms. She cradled it close to herself, looking at the child. It was a boy. She knew she had to adopt this baby. She spent quite a few years of her life going around foster homes, and so did Henry, and they both knew how horrible it was. She decided to name the boy right there and then. Her thoughts went back to being sat on the park bench with Henry, discussing names for their child. She was going to use the name they had decided they would name the baby if it were a boy.
Paige looked her new baby in the eyes, and thought to herself how small he was. She swore to herself to protect her child.
Her Henry Junior.
