I, of course, own nothing expect ideas and the bad guys. Or some one them at least. I´m borrowing them from Aaron Spelling and CO. Plus a lot of others.

Note: This takes place about three months after the last chapter which makes Piper about four months pregnant. The sisters made a spell so the world would forget that Prue ever died and she has now continued her job as a photographer.

And now on with the story.

The Power of Four – a new beginning

An unexpected guest, chapter four

"Prue.. Come, hurry," Pipers voice rang though the manor. Within seconds her big sister followed by her baby sister orbed in and a crash from the door being slammed open announced the middle sisters arrival.

"What! What is it?" Prue yelled hands up and ready to send some one or something flying.

Piper just grinned. "I have just noticed it. For the first time," she smiled.

"What, Pipes?" Paige asked plopping down next to her big sister.

"Look." Piper pointed at her belly and all them saw, for the first time, that her belly was slightly rounded. "Oh my God, Pipes," Phoebe whispered. "You´re really pregnant."

This made all of the sisters laugh out loud.

Later Piper was lying in hers and Leos bed. She was tired and was feeling nauseous when suddenly, as light as a stroke of a birds feathers, she felt it. She shot up of her bed yelling out for Leo. Seconds after he orbed in with a wild look on his face. "What is it?" he almost growled. Piper smiled at him, tearful, and waved him closer. "Feel this," she almost sobbed. Leo placed a hand on her belly and then he felt it too.

"Oh my God," he whispered. "She´s moving." Piper nodded.

Then the door flew open letting Prue, Phoebe, Cole, Paige and Kyle in. Cole already had an energy ball ready in his hand and Paige had her mouth open.

"What is going on," Prue yelled as she looked around searching for dangers.

Piper and Leo looked very confused while Phoebe and Paige ran to Pipers side. "We heard a scream," Paige said quietly. "Oh," Piper said. "Oh no.. You thought something had attacked."

"Yes, ´cause that it usually the case when someone attacks but I have a feeling we were wrong," Kyle said, noticing the happy smile on Leos face.

"No, nothing attacked. It´s a good thing," Piper smiled. "Here," she took Paiges hand and placed it on her stomach. "Oh," Paige broke into a grin. "The baby is kicking."

"Me too," Phoebe and Prue yelled at the same time throwing themselves at Piper. "Wow," she yelled and then she felt herself orb out. Behind her stood Leo with hands raised. "Don´t hurt her," he said and shortly after Piper reappeared looking kind of confused.

"What happened? Was that the baby?"

"No," Prue growled. "That was your husband."

"Yeah," Phoebe added." He thought he had to protect you from me and Prue."

"Well, you were almost attacking her," Kyle said and was shot some very angry glares which made him hide behind Paige.

"I may be a little overprotective," Leo added sheepishly.

Paige smiled at Leo. "Of course. It´s your first baby." She gave her two other sisters a glare.

Down below, in the underworld, the Source of all evil was sitting on his throne looking like a man with a plan.

He waved his hand and a darklighter appeared. He seemed a little confused but quickly bowed down to the Source.

"Why have you sent for me," he asked.

"I have a job for you. I seem to be having some problems with the Charmed ones. I can´t seem to kill them and I need them gone. They are too much of a threat to be alive. I sent the circle of Darkness after them but they still live. So I figured I needed to do something different. Maybe even change my target. I have learned something about these humans. And their weakness. They care too much." The Source laughed out loud. "And this is their greatest weakness. I will kill what matters most to them. Two of the Charmed ones are with a whitelighter. A whitelighter and an Elder. The second oldest is pregnant which leaves them all vulnerable. This is a great opportunity and I can´t loose it. If they think I attack her and the baby it will leave them open to other sides. Their men. I will send some demons to attack the second oldest and after that YOU will attack the whitelighter and the Elder. You understand."

The darklighter seemed to swallow deep but the Source didn't want to wait. The engulfed the darklighter in painful, non-destructible flames. When they died out he said. "Do we have a deal?" The darklighter could only nod. "Good," the Source said and then with a wave of his hand a few demons appeared. "I have a job for you."

Piper was sitting in the attic looking out the window. She had this horrible feeling in her stomach, like something was about to happen. Sighting she shifted position and stood up.

Suddenly four dark-skinned demons shimmered in and one of them threw an energy ball over her. She ducked and yelled out for help.

Downstairs in the kitchen the three other sisters were sitting drinking coffee and bonding.

Prue and Paige needed time to get used to each other, and Phoebe needed to learn to share her beloved big sister.

A scream from the attic interrupted them and Paige grabbed on to Phoebe and Prue and orbed them out.

In the attic Piper was hidden behind a sofa curled up to protect her unborn baby.

A swirl of blue orbs and she was surrounded by her sisters.

"Get the hell away from her," Prue yelled and used her telekinesis to sent two of them flying.

Phoebe levitated up into the air spin-kicking one in the face. Levitating down she punched him. "Piper! Help," she yelled and Piper jumped up. She lifted her hands to explode but instead a lightning shoot out of her hands and the demon exploded.

Prue stabbed one of them in the chest and he exploded. The two others looked at each other and shimmered out.

In that second, Kyle, Leo and Cole orbed and shimmered into the broken attic.

"What happened," Leo yelled and ran to Pipers side. Piper was glaring at her hands.

"What was that, Piper?" Prue asked. Piper shook her head. "I don't know. A new power maybe?"

"I don´t think so," Paige said. "I think that that might be the babys power. Didn't you see how it looked like Leos lightnings?"

"You´re right," Phoebe spotted. "And so smart," she added, grinning.

Paige pretended to polish her nails and laughed. "I know."

After that everything happened so fast. A dark orb announced the present of a darklighter, leaving Piper and Paige panicking.

And Prue. She was just staring. "Bane," she whispered. The sound made Jessup Bane turn around and he looked at Prue. "Prue?"

Lifting his crossbow he fired at Leo and then at Kyle. It happened so fast they didn't even got the chance to react.

Leo yelled out in pain as the arrow shoot and Kyle fell to the floor making Paige scream out in horror.

"Leo," Piper yelled and ran towards her husband. Cole grabbed onto her before she got there. "No Piper., You too Paige. You could get hurt." Piper glared at him. "No, I´m not a whitelighter," Piper yelled but Cole said: "No, but your baby is and we don't know what will happen to her." Piper slowed down and plop onto the floor.

"Arrows," Paige cried and the two arrows disappeared and fell to the floor beside Paige. "Prue heal," she commanded and Prue raised her hands on reflex but. "Why isn't it working?"

"Oh no," Phoebe moaned. "The Elders told us she would loose the power to heal when she once again became a charmed one."

Phoebe levitated up and spin-kicked Bane in the face making him fall to the floor out cold. She quickly bound him to a chair.

"What do we do," Paige cried in hysteria.

Phoebe took charge seeing Prue was in chock from seeing Jessup Bane.

"Everybody. Close your ears, except Kyle."

Everybody did as told, Prue using her telekinesis to hold up pillows for Bane and Leos ears.

"What´s mine is yours

What´s yours is mine

Let our powers cross the line

I offer up my gift to share

Switch our powers through the air"

A glint and Phoebe tried to levitate. "It worked," she exclaimed as she didn't move. She stormed to Kyle and held out her hands. Luckily the familiar golden light appeared and Kyle was healed. Then she ran to Leo and shortly after he sat up to. Piper threw her arms around him sobbing.

"Okay," Phoebe said. "Do it again while I change our powers back. She recited the spell again and she felt her own powers return.

"Now. What do we do about him?" she stated while pointing to Bane.

The three sister and their three men were arguing about what to do with Bane but Prue was quiet. She could feel her emotions turn inside her and she felt like screaming and crying. This wasn't fair.

"I say we explode him with the new cool power of Piper and Leos baby," Paige said.

"I want to make a potion," Piper was already making up a really powerful one in her head when a voice said: "No. I want to know why he came here." Prue stood up.

"But Prue. He almost killed.."

"I know," Prue roared. "But I.." She had tears in her eyes.

"How could you even think about this, Prue," Paige yelled. "He almost killed Kyle."

"I don't believe this," Piper screamed. "How could you put him higher than Leo?"

Prue had tears in her eyes. "I don't. I didn't. I just.." She looked helplessly at her two other sisters.

Then Phoebe quietly stated. "He is the only one you have meet and liked since Andy."

Prue nodded. Piper then looked down. This was hard. "Piper," Prue said her eyes begging her to understand. "I just want to ask him"

She nodded and Paige sighted "Okay. But if anything.. I will kill him?!"

Prue gave her a short nod. Then she used her powers to remove the binds that held Bane.

"Don't get up," she said, her voice cold.

"I didn't know it would be you," he stated as quickly as he could. "I didn't. You have to believe me."

"When did you become a…"

"A darklighter?"

She nodded. "In prison.. After you died the source came to me. He gave me the chance and said this way I could revenge you. I only had to take some orders from him and then I could kill who killed you."

"Well, he didn't inform you very much, did he," Piper snapped. "Because it was him who order her dead." Her voice broke at the last word.

Bane sighted and her eyes became to shine red. "No… This isn't happing" he yelled. "But it is," Paige screamed at him. "No.." Bane fell down from the chair onto his knees.

"You´re telling me that I´m bound to the man who killed the woman I lo.." he stopped and looked at Prue. She had tears in her eyes.

"How do we know you´re telling the truth?" Phoebe asked.

"You don't," he said.

"Isn't there any spell in the Book of Shadows?" Paige asked.

The three original Charmed ones looked at each other. "There is but its kinda long timed."

"Well then just rewrite it," Paige exclaimed. "You´re brilliant," Piper said. "Phoebe?" Phoebe nodded.

Prue looked at Bane. "You will agree with this?" He nodded. "I have nothing to hide."

"Give me a moment," Phoebe said.

"Okay," Phoebe said and placed herself before Bane. "You have to look at me while I say this."

"For those who want the truth revealed

Open hearts and secrets unsealed

From now until I need no more

I truth will hear from Banes core."

A bright glowing light began to circle around Bane and when it shot into him he´s eyes closed.

When he opened them again Phoebe looked him straight into his eyes. "Were you telling the truth before?"

Bane nodded. "Yes I did."

"Why did you become a darklighter and who made you one?"

"I became a darklighter shortly after the death of Prudence Halliwell," Bane stated quickly like he had no control. "A hooded man came to me and told me of her death. I wanted to kill who had killed her and then he told me he was the Source of all evil and he would help me to get my revenge. I had to take orders from him and then he would let me kill the killer of Prue. I wanted to kill someone so I said yes because someone had killed the love of my life and I wasn't there to protect her." As soon as he said this he threw his hands over his mouth. "You weren't meant to hear that," he said to Prue.

"You can´t hide anything under a truth spell," Piper said, kind of amused. Prue was so red in her face that Paige was scared for her health.

"So you love her," she asked.

"Yes."

"And you would do anything for her?"

"Yes." Bane growled. "Stop that.." Paige laughed. "Nope. You deserve this. You almost killed my boyfriend." Bane looked down in shame.

"I didn't know he was yours. I didn't know it would be you," he said.

"Really," Prue asked.

"Yes."

"Maybe we should test if he is immune to the spell," Piper said. Phoebe nodded. "How?"

"Hmm." Paige suddenly got a certain look on her face which meant she got a bright idea. "Which color are you boxers," she asked smirking. "Blue with small red hearts on them." Bane said quickly turning red. (I know it is a very bad question, but my mind is kinda blank here. Give me a new one if you got it. Otherwise – I´m so sorry)

Piper pulled down a part of his pants and… "Yeah it works," she grinned.

"Good," Phoebe said.

"Okay. Reversal spell.

For now I got the truth revealed

Opened hearts and no secret unsealed

From now I ask to hear no more

Of secrets told from Bane´s core"

"That was so not funny," Bane fumed face red.

"Yeah it kinda was," Phoebe laughed. "Well, I think the two need to talk so.." she took Coles hand. He nodded and shimmered them out. Leo grabbed onto Piper and laughing they orbed out. Paige shot Bane a look and said: "Don't think I forgot you trying to kill my boyfriend but," she broke into a laugh. "Humiliating you – it sure takes of the edge." In orbs she and Kyle disappeared but still her voice rang. "Don't worry, Prue. You got the house for a night."

Prue looked at Bane.

"How could you do it? How?"

"I didn't know it was you, I told you."

"But I don't understand. You said my name and still fired. That's not sometime you do if you like someone. Killing my brother-in-laws is not a good way to my heart"

"Don't you think I know that? I want to take it back but I can´t okay. I wish it didn't happen and I hadn't taken up the Sources offer but you didn't tell me you were back either."

Bane and Prue had been yelling, screaming and arguing for almost an hour.

"I didn't because.."

"You had forgotten me."

"No I hadn't okay. I just couldn't show my self to anyone from my other life. I couldn't ask you to keep my secret okay?"

Bane sighted. "I get it. I really do but I still hurts."

Prue sighted too. "I know but what should I do? I-I-I.."

"You love me too?" He said surprised. She turned red. "I-I don't. I just.."

Then he lunged forward and kissed her hard. She melted into his arms and moaned as he kissed her down the neck.

He pulled of her shirt and pants and soon after she was lying naked on the bed. "Too much clothes," she moaned as she pulled in his pants.

Shortly after he was naked too and all after that all there was heard were noises of love and laughter.
