A/N: O.k., so this is the sequel to my other fan fiction, "Future Desires, Present Problems". You should read my first fic before reading this one or you'll be confused. It basically takes place during season 6 but with some slight changes: Phoebe still has her powers, Gideon isn't the one who turns Wyatt and Chris doesn't die. I don't own Charmed by the way. I do, however, own Penny and Pamela. Here's the story…

Living in the Past

Chapter 1: A new power

Since Penny and Pamela had decided to stay in the past, things had returned to normal at the manor, or at least as normal as things ever got in the Halliwell household. There was of course the occasional demon attack, but hey, that was to be expected. There wasn't anything to serious. Piper was a bit nervous on that particular because it was apparently Chris' birthday. Pamela assured her that Chris was born at night and nothing had gone wrong.

Paige and Pamela were in the foyer having another one of their heart to heats. Pam so enjoyed these talks with her mother. She was finally able to tell her all the things she had ached to tell her for 8 long years. Pam had just finished telling Paige about her steady boyfriend, Austin, who she met at Magic School when a demon shimmered in behind them

Pamela saw it out of the corner of her eye and shouted in warning, "MOM, LOOK OUT!" Mother and daughter both immediately orbed from their position on the sofa to the other side of the room, facing the demon. It had bright green incandescent scales and luminous yellow eyes. In his hand he held a gleaming athame.

"ATHAME!" Paige called. The athame dissolved into a million blue-white lights and reappeared in Paige's hand in the same fluorescent fury. The demon waved his hand and the athame was again in his possession.

Pamela raised her arm, attempting to explode the demon, but instead the demon was engulfed in flame. For a moment he screamed in agony, then he was nothing but dust. Pamela looked bewildered at what had just happened. "What was that?" Pam asked her mother.

" I think you just got a new power", Paige replied. Pamela really needed to test this our. She glanced around the room then picked up an old, broken broom. She concentrated on the end of it and she burst into flames. She quickly blew it out.

"I guess I do have a new power", said Pamela, "it's pretty cool". Piper came running into the room, or at least as fast as a woman 9 months pregnant could walk.

"What happened?" asked Piper, "I heard crashing".

"It was just a demon, we vanquished it, no biggie", answered Paige, "Pamela got a new power, fire starting".

"Cool", said Piper enthusiastically. She then let out a small gasp and softly said, "Oh".

"What is it?" asked Pamela in a perplexed tone.

Piper said, "My water just broke…"
