By now, Piper, Phoebe and Prue, along with Charlotte had reached the witches altar they had seen earlier that day. "Look" Phoebe exclaimed. "The altar!" "Thank God" Piper responded. "Hang on Charlotte, we're almost there. Eva and her friends can then take care of you and your baby." "I can't" Charlotte groaned as another contraction, this time stronger than ever before hit her. "AHHHHH!" "Yes you can….." Prue began. "I'm sorry" Charlotte said, her legs giving out from under her. She slumped to the ground. "Charlotte" Prue said, rushing towards her, intent on helping Piper carry the woman to the cave. "Ahhhh" Charlotte cried out. "The baby is coming!" "Oh God" Prue exclaims.
Piper glanced at her watch. "It's almost eleven. What should we do?!" The three listened, and sighed when they heard only the sound of crickets chirping. "Do you think they gave up looking for us?" Just then they hear men shouting in the far distance. "I don't think so" Phoebe says, panicked. A second later, the flame from one of the lit torches can be seen getting closer and closer. "Okay" Prue responds, looking around at the items scattered around the altar. "What do we have here?" "Big problems, little time and little magic" Piper answers sarcastically.
"Didn't Eva say something about Charlotte giving birth in a protective circle?" Prue asks. Phoebe nods her head. "But can we make one of those" she wonders. "We've got to try" Prue says. She walks up close to the altar and begins examining the items laying upon it. "Looks like there's some lavender laying over there" Piper says, pointing to it. Phoebe quickly grabs it up off the altar. "Isn't Rosemary good for protection too?" Phoebe asks. Piper nods her head. "Right" Prue says. "Add Apples with Laurel leaves and we should be able to block the path of evil." Phoebe and Piper look at their big Sister, concerned. "It's all we got, and that baby is coming so we've got to try." Prue states. Charlotte cries out in pain. "Ah who's gonna delivery the baby" Piper asks.
"Well personally" Phoebe says. "Since we saw in the future that you are a mother, I think you should." "I second that" Prue says quickly, not wanting to do it. "Hey" Piper exclaims. "Wait just a minute." Just then they hear the sound of horses getting closer. "No time to wait Piper" Prue says. She finds a knife laying on the altar and sets about cutting apples in half. "Phoebe take the lavender and rosemary and form a circle." "Right" Phoebe says. She grabs up the herbs and begins dropping them down in the form a circle, surrounding the altar and the three Sisters and Charlotte.
"I always get stuck with the messy jobs" Piper grumbles and she walks around to Charlotte's legs and kneels down. "Okay, Charlotte, I know it hurts, but you're gonna have to try and be as quite as possible, okay? And try not to worry, everything's under control, just concentrate on your baby." Piper takes a deep breath then and then lifts up the end of Charlotte's night gown. "Oh God I see it!" She yells. "Really?" Phoebe says and runs over to her to look. "Phoebe!" Prue yells. "The circle!" "Right" Phoebe says. She runs back over to where she'd left off and finishes dropping the herbs onto the ground in the shape of a circle, surrounding them. "The baby's coming" Piper yells. "So are they" Prue responds, as the sounds of horses and men yelling get closer.
