Chris has never met his cousin, Patty, but she knows him. That's because she's from the future he helped create. However, a tragedy from Patty's time sends her back to the past that Chris currently calls home.

Chapter 1: Perfect Day

"Patience, look out!" Henry Jr. screamed to his older sister. Unfortunately it was too late and the energy ball the demon threw hit his sister in the stomach.

"Patience!" he screamed. He looked up at the demon as it formed another energy ball, releasing it, this time, at him. Henry Jr. focused all his energy on the energy ball, and sent it flying back at the demon, vanquishing it on the spot.

Running over to his sister Henry Jr. noticed she wasn't breathing. "Shit! Mom," Henry called, hoping he wasn't too late.

Paige was out shopping with her daughter, Peyton, for a new couch, the old one having been destroyed in a demon attack when her son's voice ran through her mind, "Mom, hurry up! Patience is hurt!"

Paige grabbed Peyton's hand and dragged her into an empty showroom. "Your sister's hurt." And with that she orbed them out.

--

"Mom!" Henry Jr. screamed, again. He grabbed his sister's wrist, but felt no pulse, and he prayed that there was one.

Finally his mother orbed in with Patience's older twin sister.

"What happened?" Paige cried as she knelt down at her daughter's side and held her glowing hands over her younger daughter's body.

"Another demon attack. Is she going to be okay? She wasn't breathing and I couldn't feel a pulse!"

Peyton wrapped an arm around her baby brother when her mother didn't answer. "Mom?"

Paige kept her focus on Patience. She knew she was going to be alright, but it scared her to death how close she had come to losing her. "Yeah, she's going to be alright. Are you alright Henry?"

"Yeah, he didn't hurt me."

"What happened?" Peyton, ever the protective, level-headed, one asked.

"Patience has a premonition of an innocent being hurt, so we orbed over to save her, only it was a trap, and the demon was waiting for us. He threw an energy ball at Patience, and I sent the one for me back at him."

Patience started to stir. "What happened?"

"Shh, lay down sweetie, let me finish healing you." Paige said as she gently kept Patience laying down. Finally Paige felt that Patience was completely healed and she pulled her into a hug. "Don't scare me like that again missy!"

Patience let her mother hold her for another moment before she turned to her brother. "Did you get the demon?"

"Yeah, he must have been a lower level demon."

"But even so," interjected Peyton, "That's how many attacks on the family this week? 4, 5?"

"Actually 6, but honestly, whose counting." Henry Jr. replied sarcastically.

Patience looked up. "6?"

Peyton replied, "Yeah, first was Wyatt, then it was Chris, then Prue."

Henry picked up, "Then Mel and Patty at the manor, then you, Pate."

"And then us," Patience said, realizing what was going on.

"Oh I know that look missy. What's going on in that head of yours?" Paige asked.

Peyton looked at her identical twin sister, and then came about the same realization. "Oh crap."

"We have to get Penny now!" Patience said.

"Oh god," Henry understood now. "They're going in age order, and she's the last one!"

"So much for a perfect summer day," grumbled Patience, sarcastically.

Phoebe sat in her office at the bay mirror typing away, trying to get her column finished so she could head out early for the day. After two bestsellers on finding your true love and never giving up on love she had still remained loyal to the paper that got her started all those years ago. Lost in thought, trying to figure out how to help the young woman who wrote to her with her relationship, the phone rang.

"Phoebe Haliwell."

"Phoebe, hi it's Paige. Um, not a lot of time to explain, but you need to go get Penny from work."

"Why, what's wrong, is she alright?" Phoebe interrupted, as worry for her youngest daughter filled her heart. The last time Penny was individually sought after by a demon she was 12 and she still had nightmares about the week she spent in captivity.

"I hope so," Paige interrupted her train of thought, "but Patience and Henry Jr. were just attacked, they're fine we're at the manor now, but that is the sixth demon attack this week. And, in age order from oldest to youngest, all the kids have been attacked, except Penny."

"I'm going to get her now," Phoebe stated, effectively ending Paige's ramblings. With a quick 'family emergency' to her secretary Phoebe ran to her car, and to Piper's restaurant, P4, for all four Haliwell sisters, where Penny worked part time in the summers.

Making it to the restaurant in record time Phoebe ran inside, and asked the hostess who was working where Penny was.

"Hey Phoebe," Sandra said, "what can I do for you?"

"Hey Sandra, have you seen Penny, we're having a bit of a family emergency and we need her home immediately."

"Umm, sure I'll tell Jenny that she left. She's out in the back taking the garbage out right now. Actually, she's been out there for a while, so you can just grab her…" Phoebe ran out to the back ally, effectively cutting off Jenny. Honestly, if her family didn't start realizing that allies are not a place for people she was going to strangle all of them.

She saw the unmoving body first, and before she knew it she was screaming. She was too late; her baby was lying in a bloody heap. She ran over and pulled the body into her arms before she started screaming for Paige and Wyatt, hoping that it wasn't too late. Hoping that, unlike grams, she wouldn't have to bury her child.
