Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed or any of its characters or anything like that.
Author's Note: Takes place during sixth season. After they know who Chris is, and after Phoebe loses her powers, but before 'A Wrong Day's Journey Into Right'. I'm taking it from there. I know a lot of these types of stories have been written, but this is mine. I would greatly appreciate reviews! I plan on responding to all of them. Well, hope you enjoy!
Both of Them Combined
"Oh my God!"
It was just another day in the Halliwell manor. Chris was filling them all in on his newest lead on who turns Wyatt. Leo and the sisters were all there. They were going to need the Power of Three so they'd had no choice but to get Piper out of magic school. She was grateful for the change though, thoroughly loathing being cooped up in magic school. Leo had insisted on being there as well, though Chris wasn't happy about it. Despite their relationship being a little better, he still didn't like being around his father.
"OK, so as I was saying...We're going to need the-" Chris stopped abruptly, and they were all staring at the glowing triquetra on the attic wall.
A young girl in her late teens, possibly early twenties, wearing cut up baggy blue jeans and a worn out T-shirt and tennis shoes walked out. The sisters and Leo stared at her, all thinking she looked familiar somehow. Chris was staring openmouthed.
"Oh my God!" he said, barely above a whisper. The girl smiled at him, ignoring everyone else in the room, who all noticed it seemed to be her first real smile in a long time.
"Is that any way to greet me?" she asked him sarcastically, in a tone that reminded Leo and the sisters of Chris. The pair continued to stare at each other for a few seconds.
"Oh my God!" Chris said, louder this time. He rushed over to her and pulled her into a tight hug, which she gladly returned.
"Oh my God, I missed you so much," Chris whispered into her ear.
"I missed you too," the girl whispered back.
The sisters and Leo watched in shock, wondering how they knew each other.
"I take it you two know each other?" Phoebe asked, stating the obvious. She had been the first to speak, while her sisters and Leo were still watching the pair, who both chuckled at Phoebe's question.
"Yeah, we do," Chris told her honestly. He and the girl had released each other slightly, but now had their foreheads resting on each other.
"You're from the future? How'd you get here?" Leo asked, directing his question at the visitor.
The girl looked at Chris, who stared back, they still hadn't let each other go yet.
"Yeah, he is," Chris told her, answering her unspoken question.
"What are you talking about?" Paige asked, completely confused about what was going on. Piper was still staring at the girl.
"Chris, what's going on?" Leo asked, hoping he'd explain, even if he still wasn't too happy with him at the moment.
The girl smiled. She flicked her hands in two consecutive motions, the first blowing Leo into a million tiny orbs and the other freezing those orbs before he could put himself together.
The sisters all gasped, while Chris laughed, and the girl just kept smiling.
"You know I enjoy it when you do that," Chris told the girl, who chuckled.
"Not as much as I love doing it," was her response. The pair smiled, before turning to the sisters.
Piper, Phoebe, and Paige all gasped as they got a closer look at the girls, and seeing her beside Chris. They looked a lot alike, from the same green eyes, the dark hair, and the relatively same facial structure.
"Sorry about that," the girl started, indicating Leo. "He was getting on my nerves."
"Are you guys twins or something?" Paige asked bluntly. The pair chuckled.
"No, but we get that a lot," Chris told her.
"Who are you?" Piper asked the girl, finally finding her voice, and placing both hands protectively over her expanding stomach.
The girl didn't answer immediately, her eyes fell to Piper's hands. She stared, showing no emotion, at Piper, then Phoebe, and then Paige before turning to Chris.
"Do they know?" she whispered. He nodded. She took a deep breath.
"It's okay," he told her. This time she nodded.
"My name's Melinda, but everyone calls me Mel," she told the sisters, not wanting to give too much away.
"How did you do that?" Piper asked, pointing to Leo, or rather Leo's orbs.
"And what were you talking about Chris?...Earlier when you told her 'Yeah, he is'?" Phoebe asked.
Chris and Mel looked at each other before Chris finally broke the silence.
"We have this sort of telepathy thing," he told them. The sisters looked at him incredulously. "But don't worry, it only works with each other," he added quickly.
The sisters breathed a sigh of relief. They certainly didn't want him in their thoughts. Piper looked at the girl again.
"But, you didn't answer my question," she said pointedly to Mel.
Mel looked to Chris, who gave her a reassuring nod, before answering.
"I can do that," she started, pointing at Leo's orbs. "because I inherited your powers." The sisters' jaws dropped. "Yeah, I'm your daughter," she told Piper.
"My little sister," Chris added.
"Wow," Phoebe muttered. Mel smiled.
"Oh, your daughter says 'hi' by the way," Mel informed her. Phoebe beamed, but her sisters shot her a warning look before she could ask.
"We won't tell you anyway," Chris told her.
"Aw, come on," Phoebe pouted. "But, why?"
"Future consequences," Mel and Chris told her at the same time.
"You sure you two aren't twins?" Paige asked sardonically, earning a scowl from Mel and Chris, and a 'not funny' look from Piper.
"OK, so what are you doing here?" Chris asked, turning to his sister, after a few minutes of silence.
