Innocents weren't new to the Charmed Ones, had they been told they would never again see an innocent needing their help, they may have shined your shoes. Even play strip poker with you. Being a "Charmed One" meant saving lives everyday, lives of those who would make a difference, help and maybe even in the long run take over as Charmed Ones. But that day, their calling would be fulfilled was never to come, or so they believed.
Phoebe strolled into the kitchen, watching as Paige sipped from her coffee and Piper fed Chris and patted Wyatt on the butt to go watch cartoons. It had been two full years since Chris was born, they had kicked serious ass and had built upon what many demons had so eagerly tore down. Phoebe wasn't looking as sexy as she always was. Her hair was long, past her shoulders, maybe even to the small of her back. Her hips protruded from her body and her stomach was in a stage most women feared. Pregnancy. She pulled a chair and sat slowly down with her seventh month unborn kicking and grabbing at Phoebe's inner workings.
"I have been upstairs peeing for the last 15 minutes, if anyone cares" she did that sarcastic smirk she was so good at.
"That's lovely Feebs, I just wish I could be so fortunate!" Piper wiped the small mush from Chris' bib.
"Piper, how could you do this two times? I mean, really HOW? I am seven months pregnant, and already I want to never see a penis EVER again. And I mean like NEVER EVER. Yes sir-e bob."
"I hope you mean other than your husband's." A tall man seemed to descend from a ladder that appeared out of nowhere, his jeans tight and a large white t-shirt hanging to his crotch. His eyes were green and his hair blonde. He was every woman's fantasy, but there was one problem. He wasn't mortal.
"Saving people again, dear?"
"Hey Jean, when did your shift end?" Paige seemed to talk after everyone forgot her presence.
"Yep. I mean yes, Paige."
"Jean, do you see Wyatt? He's not here. You don't have to use the whole mommy and me language Piper seems to be brainwashing him with. Besides, our child is what we have to worry about. Half witch half Descendor. I mean if my child has to help innocents by climbing down a ladder invisible to the mortal's eye and whispering into their ear; telling them that they have a purpose, I'm going to leave the marriage"
"And ruin what beautiful stair stepping feet your child could have?" Piper chimed in, with baby Chris smiling at tow.
"I'm out, a charge is paging me. Hah, pun. I'm Paige being pag-" a slight blue light blended with tiny little crystals lifted and rose through the ceiling.
"And besides Phoebe, mommy and me classes are what your future holds", Piper picked Chris up and walked out into the sunroom where Wyatt was busy using telekinesis to bang things and play with the blinds.
"Were you serious?"
"You bet your ass I am"
Phoebe steadily rose from the chair and straddled to the counter and picked up the mug Paige was holding ready to bring it to the sing. A premonition scorched her eyes as she squeezed them shut to see.
It was Paige, Piper, and Phoebe running through the foyer, past the stairwell and into the dining room. A tall man with the shadows hiding his face followed, sending an energy ball towards Piper. A loud ringing bell sounded and Piper froze the room. The clock was striking 12 pm. Phoebe ran through the other room, back by the stairwell and tapped the demon on the back. She lifted her body into the air and threw a front kick. The demon grabbed her leg and flung her to his left as she flew into the stairwell landing and rolled down to the second landing knocked out. Piper blew up his arm, as it regenerated, Paige orbed a blessed dagger and waited. She released it as it caught him in the neck. He waved his arm in agony, sending Paige into the wall, crashing through into the sunroom where Wyatt played and Chris orbed away. Piper by reflex froze him, as he pushed it away he began to approach. He became an inch away, and grabbed her by the neck, he smirked and Paige seemed to kick him in the back, sending Piper over the table and into a potted plant. All the noise had distracted Paige as his hand ripped through the area her heart was, he clenched and pulled; Paige falling back, her heart in his hand. Her powers drifted into Phoebe's body, exactly where the baby was.
"UH." Phoebe began gasping for air and fell back, caught by the small rug newly installed. Piper came running, seeing Jean and Phoebe both down on the floor. Jean? Why was he on the floor. A tall man, with black eyes, and two fangs all downed in black clothes and a top hat pushed Piper out of the way and approached. Suddenly orbing sounds filled the house. Who?
