Chapter 3- Questions and Answers

Leo arrived holding the hand of his young son. "Piper what's going on?" he asked in a frantic voice. However, Leo didn't need an answer from Piper when he saw the young couple standing in the middle of the attic.

"Dad…" Melinda whispered, feeling the urge to go and hug him, but she contained herself afraid that her dad was going to get scared.

"Piper…" Leo said again. Piper turned to face Leo and walked directly towards him, taking Chris by the hand and dragging him with her. "Leo this is Melinda…" She said, still incredulous that what the girl was telling her was the truth.

"Melinda." Leo repeated a little confused, "As in our Melinda?" He asked while turning to face his wife a little confused by her revelation. Piper nodded, not being able to repeat it in words.

Melinda observed as her parents discussed her arrival. She became anxious and walked to stand close to Henry, reaching out for his hand, in case they needed to orb out. However, to her surprise Leo walked towards her and gave her a friendly smile. Melinda smiled back and threw her arms around him. Leo was stunned and didn't know if he should hug her back or not. But sensing her closeness he hugged her back.

Breaking the hug, Leo looked at Melinda trying to reassure himself that she was indeed his Melinda. "It's really me dad. Melinda said, "And this is Henry." She pointed out her frightened cousin.

"Come Henry, get close, it's just dad. He believes us." The frightened boy walked towards them and suddenly became anxious as he was standing close to his uncle, who happened to be his magic professor.

"Hi…" He said. Leo turned to face him and gave him a wondrous look.

"Mom, dad, this is Henry Jr." Melinda blurted out. Henry turned to look at her and gave her a discreet look; he then returned his attention to his uncles. Piper approached him and turned to look at Melinda. "You mean…Henry…as in Henry Mitchell?" She asked. Smiling, Melinda nodded.

"Don't be so surprised, mom, Aunt Paige will have another little one, I'm not sure when though, I think when… I….." Henry cut her off. He was not happy that Melinda was speaking of the future so careless; having his uncle Leo near made him remember all the lectures he gave them about exposing too much future information.

"Melinda, don't say more than you have to." Henry said, loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. Leo and Piper turned to the sound of his voice and then returned their attention to Melinda.

"He's right, Melinda." Leo said, stopping his daughter from sharing more future information. Defeated, Melinda nodded in agreement. "All you need to tell us is why you're here." Piper added. "But before you start saying anything, I think we should call Phoebe and Paige." Piper turned to face them and all heads nodded at once.

All of them headed down stairs while Piper took the boys to the playroom and gave Paige a call. In no time Phoebe and Paige orbed in the room where everyone was waiting for them, wondering what the big emergency was.

"What's going on Piper?" Phoebe asked, "Who are they?" She continued, pointing her head towards Melinda and Henry.

A little hesitant, Piper began to speak. "Well they're the emergency." She informed her sisters. "You see this is Melinda and next to Melinda is Henry Jr." Piper said, looking directly at Paige. Paige's mouth fell open.

"Piper… what are you saying." Paige asked a little shocked.

"I'm saying that these two happen to be my daughter and apparently your son."

"WHAT!" Paige yelled out, making everybody in the room jump a little. Paige turned to face the boy and approached him, looking at him directly in the eyes. She had no doubts, the boy looked exactly like her Henry; he had his hair and his eyes.

Henry Jr. felt his mother's approach and stiffed as she got closer to him. He felt the way she was observing him, trying to find the resemblance. He suddenly felt his mother's hand caressing his cheek. "You look exactly like your father." She said in a soft motherly tone. "I've always been told that…" Henry Jr. added, making Paige smile at his remark.

"Ok…I'm sorry for interrupting this beautiful moment, but I'm really confused right now." Phoebe began speaking, hoping someone will give her answers.

"That's why we called you; I wanted everyone to be here, before they said anything to us." Piper said to her sister. They all went to sit, eager to hear why Melinda and Henry came to the past.

"Go ahead; tell us why you're here." Leo instructed them as soon as everyone was ready to listen.

Melinda began to speak, "I'm here to stop Wyatt and Chris from turning evil…" She said in a chuckling tone, but not everyone in the room seemed to understand, all of their faces turned pale. Melinda let out a laugh, "I'm kidding….that is not why I'm here."

"Oh we have we have a jokester…" Piper said facing Leo, not amused with her daughter.

"I'm sorry…" Melinda apologized lowering her head, feeling a little ashamed for saying what she just said.

"Why did you say that?" Phoebe asked.

"It's just that Dad gave us a lesson on time traveling and he shared Chris's story. I'm sorry." Melinda continued, hoping she had never said anything besides her true reasons. "Can I just say why I'm here now…." All heads nodded.

Once again she began to speak. "I'm here; well we're here, because we came to stop a demon."

"A demon…" Leo repeated.

Melinda nodded, "Can I just tell you and get questions later?" Once again all heads nodded. "Here it goes, this one night on my way home from school, I met a guy and we talked for a while, he asked me out on a date and I agreed. When the day of the date came all of you forbade me from going because P.J. got a premonition that I was going to be attacked.

"Ok…. Who's P.J.?" Phoebe asked, interrupting Melinda.

"P.J. is Prudence Johnna. You should know Aunt Phoebe, or do you prefer I call her Ladybug.

"I know who you meant… I just wanted to make sure." Phoebe said, smiling that her little girl was doing well in the future.

Melinda smiled back and continued, "Well P.J.'s powers don't include the power of premonition, so I didn't believe her, and in the future it's almost rare that one of us get attack. But Wyatt and Chris believed her and refused that I go out. I yelled that was old enough and what not, but to my unfortunate luck, P.J. was right. After my date I was trapped by a demon, he wrapped me in a magical glowing string-like thing and I was immobilized and unable to orb."

"What…You can orb?" This time it was Leo who interrupted. Melinda turned to face not surprised that he would wonder about that. "Well apparently you still had, I'm guessing, whitelighter genes in you, which were transferred to me. However, because you didn't have active powers when I was conceived I don't have the ability to orb in distances, I can only orb out of things, but I can't go anywhere. I end up in the same place, but I have telekinetic orbing abilities." Melinda noticed the confused look in her dad's face, "Do you understand?" she asked. Leo nodded, surprised about the news he just learned. "Continue…" he said.

Melinda chuckled and began to speak once again. "Well this demon made me call Wyatt and Chris."

"Why them?" Piper asked out loud, interrupting Melinda once again. Melinda sighed, giving up on the questions later idea. "Well, mom, my brothers are the "it" boys in the future."

"Oh….sorry go-ahead…" Piper said, signaling with her hand, for Melinda to continue.

"Ok…so I tried to wire a mental connection with them, but this string-thing didn't let me use any of my powers." Melinda could see the wondering eyes everyone had after she finished her sentence.

"Wyatt, Chris, and Melinda have the ability to communicate mentally." Henry said, answering everyone's silent question. "Mom, the twins have it too." He added, facing Paige. Henry tapped Melinda's hand, asking her to continue. She smiled up at him, for finally helping her out.

"The demon made me call them by cell phone, which I rarely do, so they knew something was up. When they got to where I asked them to meet me, they didn't need to ask any questions. The demon had me by his side holding me with a firm grip by the arm. Wyatt tried to orb me out of his grip, but he failed, this thing that was wrapped around me stopped almost every power. The demon told them that he was going to let me free, but only if they would cast a spell for him to come to the past. To save me they did it. The demon vanished and I was freed." Melinda finished looking down, remembering the look her brothers had given her.

This time it was Henry who continued. "The demon wanted to be sent to the past to change the future. In the future demons are hidden in the underworld; our family has grown and with us came more power. Almost no demon dares to confront the charmed ones or us for that matter. Those who dare end up being vanquished by one of us, but who they fear the most is Wyatt and next to him Chris. They are the most powerful beings in our time. Together, they have thrown many demons to extinction. But this demon was smart enough to know that if he came to the past he would hold enough future information to stop many of our vanquishes, and warn as many demons as possible."

"You mean to say, that there's a demon from the future, here on our time, now?" Leo was the first to speak after Henry finished.

Both Melinda and Henry nodded. "Wait…." Melinda yelled out. All eyes turned to her. "What I don't understand is why, we were sent so far into the past. Wyatt and Chris don't take on the family business per se, until they're both late in their teen years. If the demon wanted to stop their vanquishes, why would he come when both are no older than six?"

"Maybe, Wyatt and Chris made a mistake on their spell." Paige suggested.

Melinda shook her head in disagreement, "No the demon, almost fed the wording of the spell to them. Also, I still don't know why he didn't ask me. I mean I have the ability to cast spells too."

"I think he just wanted to make them feel defeated." Leo said.

"Bastard…." Melinda whispered, realizing that her dad was probably right.

"What I don't understand is why the boys didn't come and stop the demon themselves." Piper asked in a questioning voice. Melinda felt her face flush. She knew she couldn't tell them that she came without telling anybody back home.

"Wyatt and Chris had this important thing that they couldn't miss, and it was out of the country, so they asked me to come check it out for them. I'm sure they'll come sooner or later." Melinda was sure of that, but for now she had to do all she could before they came and find her here.

Everybody seemed to believe her and began pondering with ways to find the demon. "Ok tell us all you know." Melinda heard her Aunt Phoebe ask. Once again she felt the blush in her cheeks, but she remembered the notebook which she was still holding. She opened it to the page where Chris had jot some notes on this demon.

"This demon is not in the Book of Shadows, it could be because you haven't been doing much vanquishing so an entrance on his kind is non-existent." Melinda tried to read Chris's notes as much as she could but she couldn't read and talk all at the same time. "Hold on." She said, focusing her attention on Chris's notes.

"Melinda, that notebook, has Chris's name in the front of it." Piper pointed out to her daughter.

"Yeah, he lent it to me, so I wouldn't forget all that we talked about." Melinda responded, nervously. "OK. So apparently we're not sure of the demon's power abilities, but he's not too powerful." Melinda tried to read further, but she couldn't understand most of Chris's writing. She could feel all eyes on her, and that made her even more nervous.

"Can I see that?" Leo asked reaching out for the notebook. Melinda nodded and handed him the book. "Wow this is like a mini- Book of Shadows." Leo shared with the room.

"Yeah, Chris is the one with the brains in the family. I think he takes after you dad. Wyatt is powerful but impulsive and doesn't think much before he acts." Leo smiled, he remembered all the knowledge Chris possessed when he came to the past. He was glad he was the same way now, in his changed future.

"I'll look over this, and don't worry, we'll find this demon and we'll stop him."

Before anybody could say anything else, a baby began to cry and the boys orbed down, saying that they were hungry. Piper stood up and hurried up stairs to check on her infant daughter.

"Well, I have to go too. I don't want to be home too late, Coop is with my ladybug, but I miss her already… Paige..."

"Yeah….the twins are too little to be left alone for so long. Henry, you should come with me."

"No…mom…you know dad, he's going to freak. Its better that only you know that I'm here; besides you don't want to spoil the news of your future pregnancy, dad likes surprises, remember."

Paige looked up at Leo, "It's Ok that he stays here Paige, and don't worry we'll take care of him." Leo reassured her.

Paige and Phoebe orbed out leaving all of them alone. Melinda looked down at Wyatt, "So Wy…how old are you."

"Five…" the boy answered, holding up his hand to show his age.

"I'm three, but dad says that I'm almost like this…" young Chris showed four fingers, following his brother's example. Melinda smiled down at the little boy.

"So that means I'm almost one…" She said.

"You don't look one…" Wyatt said giggling. "I have a sister, she's a baby. Right Chris, we have a sister?" Wyatt said looking down at his little brother. The brown haired boy nodded. "I don't like her, she cries." He added. Melinda gave him a wide smile. "Don't worry someday you'll like her."

The boy then ran out to Piper who was coming down the stairs holding the baby in her arms. "Where are Phoebe and Paige?" She asked.

"Aunt Phoebe and Aunt Paige orbed out already, mom." Wyatt said, answering his mom's question. Taking the baby away from Piper's arms Leo confirmed it. "They needed to go and attend to their families. We'll try and figure out this demon thing later."

"You're right, the boys are hungry too. Boys what do you want to eat?"

"Cookies…" answered young Chris.

"Well that hasn't changed." Melinda said, giving Piper a smile. "Actually, mom, can I request Spaghetti? Please."

Piper gave her daughter a smile and nodded in agreement. "Looks like we're having spaghetti, what do you think boys?"

"That sounds great." Leo said, giving his infant daughter a kiss on her cheek, making Melinda smile. She always knew she was a daddy's girl.
