The Power of Two

It had been five months since Melinda had turned evil, well had an inner battle with evil, which still affected her at times. Everything had started to turn back to normal, well as normal as everything could be. Piper and Leo had finally settled down about her and Chris, since Uncle Coop had explained everything to them they found that there was nothing that they could do. A cupid had put them both together, and they were never going to fall out of love.

Speaking of Chris, he was getting ready to move to LA to go to college. Just after everything with Melinda happened, he had contemplated staying in San Francisco, but Melinda and Wyatt had talked him out of that, after all Chris could orb back at anytime to see Melinda, and Wyatt could orb Melinda to Chris. Chris and Melinda had continued 'dating', this time with family knowing. Chris had figured it might be a little easier when he gets to college, his friends there would not know she was his sister, so they would not have to hide anything around them.

After Bianca had helped try and save Mel from her battle with evil, Wyatt asked her to marry him. Of course, Bianca had said yes but they thad decided on a long engagement. It also meant that he was moving out of the manor, and into a house with Bianca, in fact into the house next door, so he was still close enough to his family. It was bad enough Chris was going to be in LA, once demons found that out then there would be trouble, he needed to stay close by.

Melinda had decided that staying at the manor was best for her, rather than going to LA with Chris. They had discussed it when she was pregnant, but that was to hide the baby from the family, now there was no baby there was no reason to leave and not finish school.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Melinda stood in the doorway of Chris' bedroom. Boxes and suitcases filled the room. His wardrobe was not completely empty, but it was empty enough. His desk was bare, since his computer was packed to take it to college with him, and his bedside cabinet had nothing on it either. Melinda frowned, realising that Chris was really going to be away from her. They had not had to be apart for more than a week before this, and now he was going to be away from her for months…well ok not months, she could call for him whenever she wanted but it was not enough. At least it was not like mortal families that would have to wait for the end of a semester or something like that.

"What you thinking?" She heard her youngest brother's soft voice behind her. Melinda turned to see Chris, his green eyes sparkling.

"Just what it's going to be like without you or Wyatt here."

"You call for me and I'll be here in a blink of the eye. Well as long as I'm not in a lecture, or fighting a demon, or on a date…"

Chris looked at his sister as he said date. He felt her slap him lightly.

"A date?" She had a smirk on her face, and her eyes scrunched up slightly, something that all Halliwell women seemed to do. He had seen his Aunts Prue, Phoebe and Paige do it all the time.

"I'm joking." Chris pulled her into a hug. He was going to be at college at the end of the week, nearly September. The summer vacation seemed to speed by, which was both a good and bad thing for Chris. He was glad to be going away, getting away from the manor, having a little freedom from his mother's and eldest brother's care, but it also meant being away from Mel. And yes he knew that everything few days he would orb back the manor to see her, and most weekends Wyatt would orb her to him, or he would orb in, pick her up, and orb them back to LA, but that did not stop him from feeling he was losing the most precious thing he held dear.

Melinda looked up at Chris, to see him looking down at her. She felt his hand caress her cheek and then he leaned in to kiss her. As their kisses got more and more passionate, Chris lead Melinda into his room. The family were out, which meant they had a few hours to themselves. Even though Piper had given them her and Leo's blessing, they still did not like the idea, so they promised to only be like this when nobody was around. Chris lead Melinda to the bed, getting around all the boxes in his room and laid her down, kissing her all over. Everything was getting heated, but they were stopped when they heard a female cough. Chris looked around, slightly annoyed, to see Pru, their eldest cousin, stood in his room. She had obviously entered in the way all cupids did, with their pink glow and heart, the family had nicknamed it hearting, since Coop never had a name for it.

"There's a problem," Pru started, trying not to look at her two cousins who looked to be getting busy. She had kept a clear mind about it all, after all she was half-cupid, she knew they could not help it, "We need your help, both of you."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hannah and Hope were trying desperately to keep the warlock away from their dad, who was lying unconscious on the ground. They did not have many powers, but they had enough to keep him away until Pru managed to get Mel, Chris or Wyatt. They had called for Pru when they realised their calls for Wyatt were not getting through to him. They had decided that calling for Chris was not a good idea, since they knew their mom and the aunts were out vanquishing a demon, and Uncle Leo was at Magic School so Mel and Chris were alone. They had been told if they were alone, do not call for Chris unless an emergency, but what constituted as an emergency? Was this classed as an emergency?

Hannah orbed a plate at the warlock, who blinked out of the way and back in, the plate smashed into a wall.

The room was filled with a pink, blue and white lights, which meant Pru had managed to get Wyatt. The warlock was thrown into a wall, and to Hannah's surprise Chris and Mel stood with Pru to one side.

"Where's Junior?" Mel called to the twins, who both pointed upwards, he was obviously in his room. Melinda ran up the stairs to check on her youngest cousin while her brother took care of the warlock.

"What do you want?" Chris asked the warlock, realising he probably would not get an answer that easily. The warlock stared at the elder-witch, who threw him back into the wall again, "I repeat, what do you want?" The warlock still did not answer, so Chris resorted to using his Elder-bolts to harm the warlock. Finally, the warlock began to talk.

"The Source will take over the world." Without another word, the warlock was in flames, screaming at his vanquish.

"What happened?" Pru asked, making sure her uncle was alive, relieved that he was just unconscious.

"I don't know. I didn't do anything."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chris was worried, the warlock had mentioned the Source. His mom and aunts vanquished the Source 23 years ago, when it was Cole, and now all of a sudden there was a new one? So this was why demons had not really attacked in years, just the odd one that he and Wyatt could handle when they were kids, there was a rise of a new Source and they were planning on taking over the world. Chris kicked a crystal that was lying on the floor. He was not really sure why that crystal was there, but was glad it was.

"Now what was that for?" He heard a female voice, but there was nobody in the room with him. He had been in the attic alone since he had got back, since he left Melinda with the twins to help sort out the mess.

"Aunt Prue?" Chris finally asked, and she materialised in front of her.

"Yes Aunt Prue, who else would it be?" Prue gave her middle nephew a hug and sat him down, "What's wrong?"

Chris looked into her dark brown eyes and sighed.

"There's a new Source." He saw his deceased aunt look at him wide-eyed.

"Does your mom know?" Prue finally asked her brunette nephew, brushing part of that said brunette hair away from his eyes. Chris shook his head, he had not been able to sense for her, she was obviously in the underworld taking care of some demon, which he had decided she was too old to do. She was, after all, 32 when Chris was born, making her 51. Too old to be hunting demons in his mind.

"You need to tell her." Explaining that she was in the underworld and that Wyatt was busy with Bianca, he had to figure this out alone. He had to find the Source, how hard could it be? "That will get you killed!" Prue shouted at her nephew. She had never faced a Source before, but had watched her sisters battle both the Sources that came into their lives. She knew how dangerous a Source of All Evil was.

"I'm not going to go after him, Aunt Prue," Chris smiled at her love, "I need information. I'll get a demon here and torture the demon."

"I'd get Mel to do that, she's better at torture than you are." Chris smirked at that comment, Mel was the best at torture, after all she could torture him easily, just not in the same way his Aunt Prue meant.

"I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't go to college either. I should be here to help destroy the Source."

"No you need to go to college," Prue hugged Chris, "You've already taken one year out. And besides you're only an orb away, so it's not that bad."

"Yeah but what if I can't get to them in time. What if I'm held up in a lecture or something?"

"Don't think about that. Your mom would not want you giving up your chance at a life away from here, because of the Source."

Just then his mom and two younger aunts orbed into the room, both of his aunts were covered in green slime.

"I'm just saying next time I tell you to duck, I mean duck." Chris smirked at his mother telling her younger sisters off.

"Prue!" Phoebe looked to see her eldest sister sat with her nephew and ran to her, hugging her. They hardly got a chance to see each other at the moment, with demons coming to attack them left, right and centre, but could not say that in front of Chris. He did not know.

"What are you doing here?" Paige asked, hugging her deceased half-sister, who she had never met during her life.

"I'm here to cheer up your nephew here, Paige." Prue smiled.

"What's up darling? You and Mel haven't had a fight have you?"

"No, mom, we haven't."

"Is it Wyatt? Have you two had a fight?"

"No mom." Chris shook his head again, if only it was that simple.

"So what is it?"

"There's some bad news. Hannah and Hope were attacked while you were gone."

"What! Are they ok?" Paige asked her youngest nephew anxiously. She had only left them for 15 minutes, and Henry had been there, but they had been attacked!

"They're fine. They called for Pru and Pru came to get me and Mel. Mel and Pru are still with them. It was more of what the warlock said."

"And that was?" Phoebe asked, trying to get the words out of her nephew's mouth fast so her youngest sister could go and check on her nieces.

"There's a new Source."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh, Bianca, slow down."

"You want me slow? That's not like you!" Bianca was on top of Wyatt, and leaned over to kiss his bare chest while they made love. She slowed down just like Wyatt asked and then felt herself being moved and then found herself underneath Wyatt, who was taking it slow.

"I'm just…oh…" Wyatt started to say but felt the blood rush south, as he came inside his fiancée, "I love you." Wyatt finally sighed as he looked into her eyes, breathing heavily.

"I love you too." Bianca smiled, kissing her lover lightly, feeling his heacy breathing on her.

"I'm sorry." She heard him say as she looked into his ice-blue eyes and then asked him why, "You didn't, did you?"

Bianca smiled and shook her head, but she did not mind. This was for Wyatt, he was the one who had come back from an unsuccessful demon hunt and was full of stress. She had decided that he needed the sex to calm down about it. Suddenly their bedroom was filled with a pink glow.

"Oh my God! I'm so sorry!"

Wyatt rolled of Bianca, and helped her cover up with the bed sheet as he saw his eldest cousin, Pru, standing in their bedroom with her eyes covered by her hand.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Wyatt asked, making a mental note to stop people orbing, hearting, shimmering, whatever transportation method anybody had, without warning them first.

"There's a problem at the manor. Can you come?"

"Tell mom I'll be there in a minute. I'm just going to get dressed ok?"

With that, Pru smiled and hearted back out Wyatt's house.

"I'm sorry about that, baby."

"Don't be," Bianca smiled and kissed her fiancée, "You need to go to your family." Wyatt sighed and climbed out of the bed. He could have done with getting a shower first, but he was not sure how important this was. Why didn't Chris orb in? Wyatt found himself thinking, Why was it Pru? Had something happened? Wyatt quickly got dressed and orbed out of his house to the manor. Yes, it was just next door, he could have easily walked around, but this might be life threatening, although Pru did not sound worried.

Once Wyatt had orbed into the living room of the manor, where he sensed his mother, he found the whole family there, and he meant the whole family, well except his grandpa. Grams, Grandma and Aunt Prue were even there.

"Where's Bianca?" he heard his younger sister ask, with a bit of a smirk. Pru had obviously told her what they were doing.

"I left her at the house, what was so important that Pru had to come and get me?" He looked around the gathered family to see that Chris was there, pacing the floor.

"There's a new Source." Chris turned to his eldest brother. He looked at the confused look on Wyatt's face, "You know, the guy who controls all of evil, pretty much unlimited power, very hard to vanquish." Chris could not help himself, even though he knew Wyatt knew who he was talking about, but what was the confused look was for:

"How is he back? What does he want?"

"We don't know yet, sweetie." Piper answered his son's questions. Great, Wyatt thought, life gets good and something destroys it.

"Tell me about it." He heard Melinda talk to him. Looking at everybody's confused looks, he realised she was talking to him.

"What's so bad for you?" Wyatt asked, intrigued.

"Erm…this Source thing." Melinda answered quickly, a little too quickly though, which earned an 'I don't believe you' look from Wyatt.

"So what can we do?" Pru asked the adults that were in the living room. She saw Henry, Coop and Leo look at the Charmed Sisters.

"The best thing right now is to wait for more demons to spill." Phoebe explained to her eldest daughter, "Once we know enough, we go after the Source." The 'we' meaning her and her sisters. The Charmed One's. The original Power of Three.

"No," Grams disagreed with her granddaughters, "It's up to your children to do this."

All three sisters looked at their Grams and then at their mom and sister who were agreeing with the ghost, but Piper did not.

"Not my children, they're not old enough."

"Yes we are mom. Maybe not Melinda, but me and Wy are." Chris turned to his mother.

"Hey!" Melinda looked at her lover, but she was only 16, he did have a point.

"You need the power of three, though, you and Wyatt won't be able to do this."

"Actually, they will." Patty explained to her daughters, "With Wyatt and Chris there is no need for the power of three."

"The Power of Two?" Wyatt asked, unconvinced.

"The Power of Two." Prue nodded to her eldest nephew, "But you need as much information as you can get before you go. And train."

"So I'll stay here rather than going to college."

"No you won't." Wyatt turned to his younger brother, "You will go to college. C'mon, it's not like we can't get to each other easily enough." Wyatt did not want his brother to give up the chance of going away to college, to get away from the family manor. Wyatt never got a chance, actually he did not want to, but he knew Chris did. Chris wanted to go away to college, he needed to. Chris needed the indepenence.

As the two brothers began to argue about whether or not the younger of the two should go to college, there was the sound of whistling. The two boys looked at their mother, sheepishly, she used to do that when they were kids and bickering.

"Chris, you are going to college, end of story." Piper shouted at her youngest son. She did not need the two of them arguing, they needed to sort everything out about the Source of All Evil.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few days had passed since the news of the new Source, and Wyatt had been to the underworld a lot trying to get as much information as he could. Chris had been gone a lot too, much to Melinda's dislike. She would have to see her brother go to LA in a few days, and he was not even there for her right now, and to top it all off, she had found out she was pregnant AGAIN and had not been able to tell Chris, you would have really thought they would have thought about protection after the first time, would you not? She needed to tell Chris there was another baby that was due to be evil but she could not go through everything again. The last one nearly caused her to turn evil, what was she going to do now?

Melinda laid on her bed, staring up at the ceiling, as she heard the sound of orbs enter her room.

"Chris!" Her brother stood there, with a deep scratch across his neck.

"I'm ok." Chris winced as he felt his sister's fingers touch either side of the scratch. He had just managed to get out of the underworld and decided he had to see Melinda before he went to find Wyatt for healing. He had not seen her for two days now, and missed her.

"What happened?" Melinda asked, looking into her lover's emerald eyes, who seemed to be searching hers at the same time.

"What are you so panicky about?"

"I'm not panicky."

"You are. Oh my God! Mel, why didn't you tell me?" Melinda looked away from Chris, and sat back down on the bed. Her brother followed.

"How long have you know?" Chris hooked his fingers under Melinda's chin and turned her face to face him.

"A week or so," Melinda's eyes looked to the floor, "I tried to tell you. I wanted to."

"Look at me, Mel," Chris said sternly, making Melinda's eye level rise to his, "It's ok. We'll sort this out, I promise you. It's not all bad." Chris kissed Melinda gently, as tears fell from her eyes, "It's ok, Mel, don't cry."

Melinda laughed slightly at her stupidity for crying and placed her hand on Chris' cheek. She felt Chris' forehead touch hers and his thumb trace her lips, "Everything will be fine." Chris whispered and brushed her lips with his, then kissed her again. As their kisses got more passionate, he laid her on the bed and laid on top of her, stroking her side and arms gently.

Melinda bent one of her legs as she felt Chris' hands feel for her legs, and raised up her skirt. He fingered her underwear and started kissing down her neck and ear. Chris sat himself up, pulling Mel up with him to take off her top and took his T-shirt off too, throwing them on the floor. He then quickly unfastened Melinda's bra and pulled it off. Throwing that on the floor with the two tops he laid her back on the bed, allowing his lips kiss the newly bared skin, reaching for her perfect breasts, sucking on her pink nipples, hearing moans of pleasure from Melinda. Mel ran her fingers through Chris' hair as she felt his lips and tongue playing with her nipples, then running down her stomach. Chris reached the top of Melinda's skirt and played with the top of it.

Melinda looked down at her lover as she stripped her of her skirt and then kissed her through her underwear, she let out more moans of pleasure. Before Chris had a chance to completely strip his lover, he felt himself being pulled back up and rolled over. He looked to see Melinda straddling him, laying kisses on his neck. He winced slightly as she kissed where his battle wound was.

"Sorry." Mel whispered in his ear, kissing down his body, unfastening Chris' belt and jeans. She revealed his black boxers as she pulled his jeans down. Once his jeans were off, she kissed up his thighs, and ran her hands up his chest and then back down to his abs, and then she reached his boxers. She looked up into Chris' eyes and pulled the boxers down, releasing his semi-hard member, and stripped him. Looking at his lustful look, she winked and took him into her mouth, teasing the head with her tongue, while her lips moved up and down. Chris closed his eyes as he played with the blonde hair of his lover. The pleasure ran through his body, it had been weeks since they had just got this far, and he felt like he could explode right there and then.

"Oh, Melinda…" Chris whispered, pulling her up to him and kissing her. He rolled her over, his mouth trailing back down her body, playing with the waist band of her underwear.

"Trust you to wear pink." He smiled and pulled the underwear off her, kissing back up her legs, sucking and nibbling on her inner thighs and finally running his tongue over her clit, sucking and liking, hearing her moans of pleasure. Hearing her, turned him on more. He kissed back up her body and reached her lips.

"Are you definitely pregnant?" Chris asked, wondering whether to be on the safe side and use a condom - now he thinks of it!

"Definitely. I took the test last week."

Melinda felt Chris kiss her passionately as she wrapped her legs around his waist, allowing him to enter her. Chris' lips moved to Melinda's neck as he pushed himself in and out of her, starting slow like he usually did and then moved faster. He thought he was going to come too soon, so slowed down, trying to put it off for the sake of his sister.

"Oh, Chris…" Melinda moaned, his slow movements were touching everywhere, just right.

Chris felt Melinda's body tensing, she was getting closer, he could feel her hands gripping his shoulder blades, her nails digging into his back. That did it for him, he came right then.

"Chris!" He heard Melinda has her body started to relax around him. He looked lovingly into her eyes.

"You came, right?" Chris asked, he was not sure, he was worried that doing nothing the past few weeks ruined it for her.

"I came." Melinda breathlessly smiled at her brother, kissing him. She could see his eyelids dropping, "Go to sleep."

Chris stubbornly shook his head, but he did not have a choice in the matter, his body was giving into the tiredness. He pulled out of Melinda and rolled over so he was on his back. He felt Melinda lay her head on his chest so wrapped his arms around her.

Melinda sat up as she heard Chris start snoring, only lightly, but it helped her know he was asleep. Once she had got off the bed without waking Chris, she quickly threw some sweats on and a top and left the room. She could hear shouting downstairs and as she reached the top she saw Piper thrown into the wall at the bottom of the stairs.

"Mom!" Melinda ran down the stairs to see four demons in the living room.

"Just in time, witch." One of the demons said to her, throwing a fireball. Melinda ducked out of the way and then threw fireballs back at the demons, vanquishing three, the last one shimmered out. Remembering what had happened, she ran to her mother's body. She turned her over, so Piper was on her back. She could see burn marks on her body, checking for a pulse she found a faint one.

"Wyatt!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wyatt heard his sister's calls, and they sounded urgent. Kissing Bianca on the forehead he got out of bed, throwing on his jeans and a T-shirt, Melinda's frantic calls were ringing in his head.

As soon as Wyatt started to orb into the manor, he could hear her crying, still calling for him. He looked around the living room, looking for her, and then saw her on the stairs.

"Wyatt, hurry, it's mom."

Hearing that it was mom sent him in a panic. He ran to the body of his mom and knelt over her. There were burn marks everywhere. Wyatt held his hand over the burns on the body and the yellow glow formed. As the burns began to heal, he saw his baby sister relax.

"Mom!" Melinda called as Piper opened her eyes, her poor daughter was crying.

"What happened?" Piper asked, seeing Wyatt, his blonde hair slightly mused. Then felt Melinda's shaking body.

"There were demons, but it's ok, they're gone." Mel cried, as she held her mother.

"What's going on?" Melinda heard a male voice at the top of the stairs. She looked up to see Chris, still half asleep, with his jeans back on.

Before anybody could answer, they heard a crash come from the attic and the yell of pain. The four looked at each other and then ran up the stairs to find two teenagers, one male and one female. The female must have been about 16, maybe 17. The male, a year or two younger. They were both tangled together on the ground. Then they looked around to see a portal on the wall closing. Piper ignored the portal and looked at the two teenagers.

"Get off me, Parker!" The female shouted at the boy, who quickly stood up. He looked around at the four standing in the attic, mouth wide open.

"Peyton!" 'Parker' said to the girl, who was now looking at the four others in the attic, "I think it worked."


I know, I know - not future people, but it's not too bad. I promise. please don't hurt me...lol but do review
