Okay, here is a really short chapter, I will try to make the next one bigger. I also think the next one might be the last and after that there will be 2 Epilogues

"What's the problem Leo?" asked Piper surprised
"Piper…you can't vanquish Tempus, remember what he has to go in 2 years time?" asked Leo as he looked at his wife "Tempus needs to live for 2 more years because he has to reverse time honey" said Leo
Piper was quiet for some time as she thought of what he said, then she smiled bitterly
"That's fine, maybe it will be better this way, I mean Prue will live…" said Piper slowly
"At what price? Your death? If Tempus is vanquished, you will stay dead and our sons will never be born. Do you want them not to exist?" asked Leo
At which Piper looked away angrily
"That's not fair" said Piper as she looked away, which caused Leo to sigh
"Piper, what's meant to be is meant to be, you cant stop that. No matter how much you want to, you can't change it honey, it will drastically change the future, probably not for good" said Leo sighing
"I know…doesn't keep me from wishing sometimes though" said Piper in a low voice
Leo nodded and hugged Piper in his side before they were going to go out when he stopped, which caused Piper to look at him
"What?" asked Piper, but then Leo pointed at the door and saw it was P. Leo, who looked shell shocked
"Great…how much did you hear then?" asked Piper drained
"Everything, I came to check on you guys…what do you mean by Prue and your death?" asked P. Leo who looked really pale
"She might have edited the story when she told them that" said Leo
"After I die, Phoebe was the one who made the deal to reverse time, time was reversed but it stopped at a moment where both me and Prue were injured. Originally Leo had healed us before all the fiasco happened, but since Leo was in underworld he didn't come immediately" said Piper
"By the time I came, Prue was too far gone for me to heal her, I tried but she didn't, I could only heal Piper, but if I was even few more minutes late, I probably would have lost Piper too" said Leo
"Huh" said P. Leo, nodding his head while trying to digest the morbid news "So Prue is dead and Paige took her place to reconstitute the Charmed power?" he asked, and when they nodded, his face was blank
"You can't tell them" said Piper "I know my past self and Phoebe's, they will try to stop it, they won't understand"
"I know…I won't" said P. Leo
"Um…are you okay?" asked Piper looking at her husbands past self
"Define okay, I find out if one of my charge lives, than my future wife dies. One way or the other, one of them has to die. It's not exactly the best news" said P. Leo smiling bitterly
"Unfortunately life isn't fair most of the time…come on lets go, they might be wondering on why we are here so long" said Leo
With that, both Leos and Piper left the kitchen and into the room where all the future people and the past people were still sitting there.
"What was all that about?" asked Prue as they came in
"Nothing" said Leo and Piper
P. Leo went and stood next to P. Piper
"What?" asked P. Piper, referring to what they were talking about as he had went there
"Nothing important" said Leo as he stared at Prue, who didn't notice
"Okay then, are we going to go vanquish Tempus?" asked Paige, they al looked ready but at this Piper spoke up
"No, we wont" said Piper, which cause everyone else to be confused
"Why?" asked P. Phoebe
"Because, Tempus has an important role to play in 2 years, remember?" said Leo, while looking at Phoebe and Paige
At first Phoebe and Paige looked confused but then Phoebe's eyes went wide in recognition
"Oh yeah…that, I remember" said Phoebe, shocked on how she could forget that little detail
"What?" asked Paige
At which Phoebe and Piper stared at her, Paige stared back until it finally clicked
"Oh…OH! Yeah I remember that now, yeah we definitely cant vanquish Tempus" said Paige
"Why? What role does he play that is so important?" asked Prue
"We can't tell you…future consequences, this time, you cant even get it out of Phoebe too" said Piper
Which caused P. Piper, P. Phoebe and Prue to stare at them curiously, what important role did a demon like Tempus had to play?
"Okay…so if we cant vanquish Tempus then, what are we going to do?" asked P. Piper
