Chapter 6 : The Ultimate Battle

we materialized yet again in the same house that had thankfully lost the disco years but wasn't as sci-fi as the one from the distant future.

"Please tell me this is the correct age. I feel like a Doctor Who companion"

I moaned feeling my cocoa travel up to my throat.

"Aren't you a bit young to know doctor who?"

Patty asked me casually. I shook my head

"There's a new sequence to it. Plus I read fanfics"

A tinkling noise came from the room right in front of the stairs and we all went to it. Thankfully we were at the correct time and watched as the five witches took their places. The three Halliwell sisters one side and the two blond ones on the other side. surprisingly the five witches didn't notice us and all of their eyes were vampire black

"Why are their eyes black?"

I asked Cole as Patty and Penny flanked the three sisters one at each side.

"They took the Hollow inside them. Hence the black eyes"

he explained and i nodded.

"I knew we shouldn't have trusted you"

Past long haired brunette witch was telling Past tall blond witch.

"You should've followed your instincts."

"Next time"

"There wont be a next time"

just then Penny shouted

"Payton now!"

"My name is Bella"

I shouted in return and hoping it would work I jumped in front of the Halliwell witches thrust my arms behind me just as the blond witches in front of me started throwing beams of red fire from their hands. I was astonished to see that my fear developed a sort of light blue bubble in front and around me and my ancestors behind me. I gasped. Cole winked at my direction and started throwing balls of fire from his palms towards the blond witches. From my other side I saw a second Cole doing the same thing only he was throwing silver ball thingies.

Penny and Patty chanted something in Latin making me regret the months I spent pining over Edward as I had no idea what they were saying and we had Latin as second language at school.

They kept chanting as the Battle began again. However instead of killing us all on sight the fire streams hit on the bubble and ricocheted back at them killing them instantly combined with the fires and the silver balls the two Coles kept sending them. Soon they were thrown backwards, hit the staircase railings and fell down unconscious. Cole stopped his ministrations and I did the same. Once my fear subsided so did the bubble and black dust got out of the five Past women. It spiraled in the middle of the room much like a hurricane for a few heartbeats before it went to a wooden chest the Cole on my left held.

As soon as it was in, he closed the lid

"Someone good to say the incantation with me please"

No one moved and he rolled his eyes

"Now!"

He shouted and Penny (or Grams as she asked / ordered me to call her) rolled her eyes before going to him, touching the box and chanted something in Latin I didn't get either. the other Cole went tot he fallen witches and checked their pulses. he shook his head indicating they had none.

"mom?"

the three women behind me ran to their mother who looked a bit overwhelmed with three daughters in front of them and one in her belly but hugged them all. then they turned to look at me and the two Coles who stood side by side smirking at each other.

"who are you?"

the witch on the right asked me. Penny looked confused but answered them

"she's Prue's daughter"

a heartbeat later three witches said with one voice

"WHAT!"

"I really want my mommy now"

I muttered. Ask and you shall receive and a flatter of white lights revealed Prue with me. Me in pajamas. Past me.

"PRUE?"

Witches chorused

"what the..."

Past me asked. I chuckled

"Don't ask, you'll give yourself a headache"

I told her but I felt as if a vampire was pushing me to her and somehow the two Bella's became one. so did the two Coles.

"Now there's something you don't see every day"

Penny Halliwell joked. for a while there was complete silence but was soon replaced with cries of happiness as everyone began talking together. Penny took charge once again

"QUIET!"

everyone shut up at once.

"Living room, now"

Everyone complied and sat down on various places.

"Now, who is who?"

Penny ordered. Prue rolled her eyes at the continuing silence and responded.

"I'm Prue, these are Piper, Phoebe and Paige. I had Bella with Andy and this is Cole. Why are you here Cole?"

I had sat on the sofa arm next to Cole, using him like a demon shield and waved feeling strangely shy.

"I was stuck in the manor like I told piper earlier this year, but the force of the battle and the deaths freed me. When everything else happened I sort of helped Bella here to raise your children"

"Bella raised my children?"

Piper stared me down and I nodded.

"That's what future me said anyway. That's where I picked him from"

I jerked my head to Cole who looked very pleased with himself. I couldn't help but notice that Phoebe was looking at him much like I looked at Edward after the whole Volturi fiasco: kiss or kill him?

"How old are you?"

Paige asked me and I couldn't help but smiling at the familiar question

"Eighteen"

Piper looked at Prue

"But you died 5 years ago"

Prue looked bashful and sorry

"Actually that was sort of a setup. After Andy died he became a white lighter we kind of got together. We found out I was pregnant when I was turned into a dog days before Shax. When Shax knocked us out piper, Andy healed and took me away moments before Leo saved you. Knowing that a child between a witch and a white lighter is a big taboo, we summoned mom and she proposed to"

she chanced a look at Patty before taking a big breath and go on

"hide until the baby was born. Andy's ankle had a baby boy that had died at birth so we thought of going and hiding in the past. I gave birth and we gave the baby to him. Coming back afterwards I saw that you had found Paige so instead of butting in we remained in hiding and i tried to keep an eye on you"

All four sisters were crying.

"You gave up your life for me?"

Paige asked astonished and when Prue nodded the two sisters hugged tightly. When the waterworks stopped once again I told them everything future me told me and once again Cole shared the news about the Triad. Neither he nor I told him about me being a vampire.

"Because you guys altered a key moment in time by saving us, what is supposed to happen after this, won't happen?"

Phoebe asked and Patty nodded

"That kind of makes this the new present"

"says the woman from the past"

Paige butted in, Phoebe rubbed her temples much like I did a million times already and asked Paige

"Are you getting any of this?"

"Whatever as long as we're alive again that's all I care about"

Paige shrugged

"Thanks to baby witch over here"

Cole said making me blush under the proud looks I got from the whole room tapping my thigh

"Get your hand off her leg"

Phoebe ordered and he complied immediately. I raised an eyebrow at Prue who winked and shook her head. Piper complained.

"I want my husband back"

"And we need to get mom back safely so none of us will be born"

Phoebe added with Paige adding

"uh huh, I really like being alive"

I looked at my engagement ring,

"So do I..."
