A/N: a summary of chapter ten events…

"I have to involve the charmed ones. They can help protect the seals and I think I might have a solution to our problem with Sam."

Dean began to pay attention to the discussion at this point. "Oh, yeah?"

The waitress came to deliver their entrees. "Here's your salad and the raspberry vinaigrette, miss."

"Thank you…" Phoebe trailed off as she looked up into the eyes of a familiar young woman.

"Here are your utensils," the girl said as her arm brushed against Phoebe, who was pulled into a premonition.

"Phoebe, are you alright?"

"Yeah, dad. Where'd the waitress go?"

Looking around the restaurant, she saw the back of a girl she knew was the girl she had seen earlier in the day. And she was being ushered by the blonde guy from her vision.

Phoebe walked into the manor, where Piper was sitting at the table with the boys, unsuccessful in getting them to eat their lunches. "Hey, Phoebs. What's up?"

"We have a problem. Something's coming."

"So, they're coming to us for what reason?" Paige said directing her question back at Piper.

"For the same reason that girl planted that premonition on me. They're recruiting us for something. They need our help," Phoebe said.

"Hey, what's going on here," Piper demanded. Just then, a legion of demons like none the charmed ones had ever seen appeared in clouds of smoke.

"Some help. It's a shame they have to die because of you."

"I don't think so," Penny said reaching for her waistband and pulling out the knife from Phoebe's vision.

Currently…

Penny was thrown into the stair case as the last demon was vanquished. She got up and wiped the dirt from her knees. "Uh," she said as she examined one of her knees. "That idiot ruined my favorite pair of jeans, damn it."

"Demons aren't exactly known for being polite, you know," Piper offered. "Do you know what demon that was or do we need to consult the book?"

"I know who it was. He's not gonna be in that book, anyway." Penny began to head for the kitchen, closely trailed by the three sister witches. She ripped into the cupboards and ripped herbs and spices off the shelves.

"You move around this kitchen like you know it," Paige said behind squinting eyes. "How do you know where everything is?"

Penny looked up from her crouching position as she picked up a jar she had dropped. "Let's just say I've been here before."

As the potion began to boil the sister's stood, staring in wonderment at this girl who claimed to be from the future. This story sounded too familiar to the Halliwell women.

"Let me get this straight," Paige drew out in her world famous attitude. "You came from the future, to stop a very powerful 'hunter' from becoming evil and setting Lucifer loose?"

"That's only the half of it," she uttered. "Look, you guys are witches; I am too. We were raised around evil but we never bought into the idea of Satan. I know my history; you guys vanquished the Source how many times?"

"Twice," Phoebe said.

"Uh uh, three times," Paige argued.

"Get your facts straight," Piper reprimanded her little sisters. "It was four times."

"Wow, are you guys sure it was you that vanquished him," Penny, a.k.a Bess, asked. "Anyway, the Source may have been a big baddie but he wasn't the big baddie. The biblical stories about Lucifer's fall from grace were all true. When he was banished from heaven and lost the battle between him and his maker, the angels that fought with him were doomed to be his companions in hell."

"Okay," Paige replied. "What does that have to do with the Source?"

"The Source was a fellow angel; insignificant enough that no one knows who he was. He wasn't as powerful as the others. But being in hell gave him the opportunity to do things none of the angels had thought of since they typically couldn't disobey God's laws. The first Source began to manipulate things; creations. It's from this "Common ancestor" that all demons were spawned. Your Sources were just magical heirs to the power that this angel stumbled upon. He's nothing compared to Lucifer."

"Okay," Phoebe responded, "but what does that have to do with these demons that aren't in the book of shadows."

"The demons that came from the Source; the ones you guys fight, while they're strong they are very different from the demons who just attacked. Those demons are actually the followers of Lucifer who fell from grace. Your family, good witches, almost never go up against those demons."

"So who was that?"

"That was Alistair."

"What! Are you okay," Dean asked from the other side of a cell phone.

"Yeah, everything's fine here. What have you found out so far?"

"Bobby's still with Sam and Ruby and he's trying to figure out some type of magical abortion for the little demon child. About the seals, I've learned nothing new. Do you think they'll help?"

Penny heard footsteps getting closer to her spot in the conservatory. "Yes. I gotta go. I'll meet you guys later. Bye."

She flipped her phone shut and turned to look at the sisters. "Are you sure you want to know everything?"

The older two nodded their heads while the youngest looked at her with a quizzical expression. "What about future consequences?"

"If I don't tell you there will be no future. And we need your help."

"Whose we," Piper said.

The four women sat and began to talk. "I'm not who you think I am. My name isn't Bess."

"So what is it?" Out of the Halliwell sisters it was always Phoebe who wanted to know everything about everyone. Just as she couldn't keep a secret, she couldn't let her curiosity rest.

"I'm your daughter."

An hour had passed since Penny's declaration. Her mom and aunts had jumped on her; asking all sorts of questions about what the future was like and how did everything turn out. It pained her to tell them that Wyatt had once again turned to the dark side.

For Piper, it was as if she failed her son and the world. The only helping thought was that this time wasn't because of anything she or Leo did. The ultimate evil had found a vessel in Sam and had corrupted her son to create a militant force of evil that would reign over the world.

Phoebe couldn't do anything other than stare at the proof that she and Coop would eventually be blessed with the children she had long ago foreseen. "Your name! Penny; I named you after my Grandmother."

"Ah, great Grams. I've heard a lot about her. Mostly from Chris," she snickered sarcastically.

"Do you want me to change it," Phoebe asked her daughter like Patty had once asked her.

"No, it's great. But it would help if you guys could get on board with the whole operation. I wasn't gonna tell you guys anything at first but getting you to help was proving difficult."

"Of course we'll help," Paige said patting Penny's knee.

"Thanks. Are you guys okay to come with me to Bobby's house? It's only a heart away."

"Let us just warn our husbands that we may be gone for a couple of days."

The Halliwells and Winchesters had been introduced quickly and got down to business. Castiel had arrived to announce that Uriel was responsible for releasing Alistair after he had been interrogated and had been working both sides.

"Let me get this straight," Paige said. "An angel has been working for the devil and your side didn't know?"

Castiel looked at Paige and wanted to sneer. "Ah, the charmed ones. I didn't know you guys did anything other than dabble. It's nice to see you finally taking an interest in the bigger picture."

"Excuse me!" Piper stepped up to the angel. "Give me one good reason why I shouldn't blow your ass to kingdom come."

"You don't have the power to kill me."

"No, but I can sure make it hurt," she offered, throwing out her arms and setting a small explosion on Castiel, who went flying backwards before picking himself up.

"Hold it," Bobby yelled getting in between the two players. "Let's not get into a 'my horse is bigger than yours' routine; okay?"

The two stepped away from each other, leaving Piper to glance at him behind squinting eyes that clearly read 'Don't piss me off'.

"Cas got his ass kicked by a girl," Dean sang, arms folded over.

The angel glanced back at his charge and wiped debris off of his trench coat before looking at Piper.

"What?"

Everyone looked at Cas. "I didn't say anything."

The next day, Sam and Dean woke up to the smell of breakfast. Now, normally it was something fried and greasy that had Bobby's name all over it. This time it smelled like they imagined a home would; pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon, frittatas, etc.

They got dressed and went into the kitchen to see Piper handling the cooking and Bobby sitting at the table looking displaced.

The boys sat and Bobby started going off. "Woke up and that woman had her paws all over my stuff. She told me if I was gonna holler at her that I had to be silent."

"And you listened," Sam said amused. He had finally been let out of the cage. He had sworn off demon blood and Ruby was being guarded by Penny, Phoebe and Paige. He needed to get to her, but knew he couldn't do it with three witches in the way.

"She said she'd freeze me."

"So?" Dean took a sip of coffee.

"I said the same thing and the next thing I knew it was fifteen minutes later. I decided to listen."

The girls came bustling in, their heels clickity clacking on the floors. "Um, I could eat that all," Paige said.

"You would!"

Everyone looked at Penny. Paige was giving her the evil eye, like 'Seriously? Question mark!'

"What, the chica eats like a man beast."

Phoebe laughed at her youngest daughter, her heart filled with pride. Pulling a chair out and sitting with the family, she looked on with joy and happiness as Piper served everyone. It wasn't long before the boys –even Bobby—were praising her culinary skills.

As they got up to clear their dishes, they were interrupted by Castiel.

"You need to act now. There is another seal that is under attack."
