Author's Note: I'm back!!! I had hoped to update a little sooner after my return but I had a lot of stuff to make up for at school so I hope I didn't keep you waiting too long.
PrettyDiva: I imagine by now that you are about to lose your grip on that cliff. Sorry for keeping you waiting. I haven't decided on whether the baby will be a boy or girl yet, but it is one smart kid alerting Nikki that things are not the way there're supposed to be. And I got to agree with you, I love Chris too!! I didn't at first when he appeared on Charmed but he grew on me.
Slytherin-Angel44: Yes, Drake's number will be up very soon. I hope this chapter continues to keep you excited.
HarryPassionFan: Thanks for mentioning my explanation; I wasn't so sure it would be clear when I was writing it so I'm glad to know that it wasn't confusing. As for Tommy, he'll learn about the baby soon enough.
ThePink1atReefside: Yeah, things aren't looking too great for Drake.
GinaStar: Thanks for the review, hope this chapter is excellent as well.
Traci26: It's awesome to have a new reviewer!!! This story has three of my favorite things in it, Tommy, PR and Charmed!!! What could be better than that?
"Is everything set?" Zephyr asked Drake.
"Yes Uncle, in a matter of days, Nikki and I will be married and no one in her family has any idea the man's she marrying is in fact a demon," Drake replied.
"I have to say I didn't think you could pull this off but you have more than proved yourself worthy," Zephyr told him.
"I've arranged everything, the Seer will be performing the ceremony disguised as a priest and then once we're married and Nikki's is with child, she'll become evil and she'll help us destroy her entire family," Drake said.
"I've waited so long to get revenge against the Charmed Ones for killing my father, it's almost too good to be true that we're finally so close to destroying them," Zephyr said.
"Well believe it, nothing and no one is going to stop this wedding," Drake said.
"That's what you think," a person in the shadows whispered as he watched the exchange.
Nikki paced back and forth in her bedroom as she waited for news from Chris or Wyatt. So far their snooping in the underworld had produced nothing as they had been unable to find any connection between Drake and any demons. Nikki supposed that she should have been grateful to hear that so far her fiancée didn't seem to be the bad guy in all this.
"Ok little one, your Aunt Sami says that you're a genius so what do you say you give Mommy another clue to finding out who your daddy is," Nikki said as she placed her hand on her abdomen.
No sooner had she spoken the words, Nikki felt herself orbing out of her bedroom. She reappeared and was shocked to find that she had orbed into the home of Tommy Oliver, his bedroom to be exact. She heard the shower running in the bathroom and then footsteps approached from the hallway.
"Hey Tommy, I hope you don't mind that I let myself in," Sara's voice called from the hallway as the doorknob began to turn.
Nikki gasped as she watched the door being opened before realizing that she needed to get out of there and fast.
"I can't believe Sami was right," Nikki said once she was back in her own bedroom.
"What was I right about?" Sami asked as she orbed in.
"I think Tommy Oliver is my baby's father," Nikki told her.
"And what brought you to this conclusion?" Sami asked her.
"I asked the baby for another clue and I ended up orbing back to Tommy's house," Nikki answered.
"Well it can't get any clearer than that can it," Sami responded.
"If only there was a way I could get my memory back so that I could be sure," Nikki replied.
"Too bad you weren't born with the power of premonitions," Sami remarked.
"Oh my gosh Sami, you're a genius," Nikki said as she orbed away leaving Sami wondering what was going on.
Nikki orbed herself into the condo that belonged to her cousin Prue. The condo had previously belonged to Prue's mother Phoebe.
"Nikki, what are you doing here?" Prue asked.
"I need to ask a favor of you," Nikki told her.
"Sure I don't have to be at the office for awhile, what can I do for you," Prue said.
"I need you to swap powers with me," Nikki informed her.
"Oh no, don't you remember all the trouble we got into when we tried that before," Prue responded.
"Come on Prue, we were kids and we didn't even know how to control our powers but we're older now I think we can handle it," Nikki told her.
"I still don't think it's a very good idea," Prue said.
"But just think of all the stuff you'll be able to get done with my orbing powers, please you're the only one who can help me, I need your power of premonitions," Nikki replied.
"Does this have anything to do with you trying to figure out who your baby's father is?" Prue questioned.
"Yes, I think I might have found him and maybe if I could just touch something that belongs to him I might be able to see what I can't remember," Nikki told her.
"Ok I'll do it, but just because you'll have my power doesn't mean that it'll work, you can't always force a premonition to happen," Prue said.
"I know but I've at least got to try," Nikki said as she orbed them into the attic of the manor.
"Let's just find the spell and get on with it, I don't want Aunt Piper coming in here and giving us a lecture on the dangers of power swapping," Prue said as Nikki began searching the book.
"I found it," Nikki announced.
"Are you sure about this?" Prue questioned.
"What's mine is
yours,
What's yours is mine,
Let our powers cross the line,
I offer up my gift to share,
Switch our powers through the
air." Nikki recited before Prue could protest any further.
"Did it work?" Prue questioned.
"Only one way to find out," Nikki said as she tried to orb but found herself unable to do so.
"How do I do this exactly?" Prue asked.
"Just think about where you want to go but be careful how specific you are," Nikki told her.
"I'm just going to go home, please come and get me the minute you're done with my powers," Prue said as she orbed away.
"Sami, I need you," Nikki said and minutes later Sami appeared in the attic.
"Nikki, you orbed away without telling me where you were going and I when I couldn't sense you any more I started to get worried," Sami said relieved to see that Nikki was ok.
"That's because I sort of switched powers with Prue," Nikki revealed.
"Your going to use her premonition power to try and get back your memory aren't you?" Sami questioned.
"Yes, I mean maybe if I go back to Reefside to see Tommy then the baby will tap into Prue's premonition power and show me the way that things are supposed to be, I know it's a long shot but my wedding is in three days and I can't marry Drake until I figure out what's real and what's not," Nikki told her.
"Then I guess we better get you to Reefside," Sami told her.
"Thanks for the lift Sami," Nikki said once they were standing on Tommy Oliver's doorstep.
"Don't mention it, so do you want me to stay with you," Sami replied.
"No, I think I'd like to do this alone," Nikki told her.
"Well, you're in luck because it looks as though Sara's car isn't here so at least you'll be able to talk to Tommy alone," Sami said.
"Yeah, although I have no idea what I'm going to say to him," Nikki said.
"Just call when you're ready to come back home," Sami said as she orbed away.
Nikki took in a deep breath as she got up the courage to ring the doorbell and wait for Tommy to answer.
"Nikki, what are you doing here?" Tommy asked surprised to find her standing there.
"I can't believe you remember me," Nikki responded.
"Like I said a beautiful woman like you would be hard to forget," Tommy said as he stepped aside to let her in the house.
"I'm sorry for stopping by unannounced," Nikki said as Tommy led her into the living room.
"Why did you stop by?" Tommy questioned.
"I was in town on business and I just wanted to apologize for how abruptly I left the last time, it was really rude of me, I'm sorry I'm not normally like that I just had a lot going on that day," Nikki told him as she sat down on the couch.
"It's ok we all have bad days sometimes and Sami said you hadn't been feeling well lately," Tommy replied.
"What else did Sami say to you about me?" Nikki inquired.
"Nothing much, just that you coming down with something though she suspected it was something else but I didn't ask for details I figured it was none of my business," Tommy said as he sat down next to her.
"Yeah I thought I was coming down with something too but it turned that I was pregnant so Sami was right about it being something else," Nikki said before she could stop herself.
"Um, you're pregnant, congratulations your fiancé must be pretty excited," Tommy said a little shocked that she would tell him something so personal.
"I'm sorry, I can't believe I just blurted that out, I guess I'm still trying to get used to it, so Sami told you I was engaged," Nikki said.
"Actually I saw the ring on your finger," Tommy responded.
"Oh yeah, I forget it's there sometimes, do you mind if I have a glass of water or something," Nikki said.
"No problem, just wait here I'll get it for you," Tommy said as he got up and went into the kitchen.
Nikki waited until he had disappeared through the kitchen door before she jumped up from the couch and began touching things in the room in hopes of getting a premonition.
"What are you doing?" Tommy asked as he returned from the kitchen with the glass of water.
"I know this probably looks bad but I wasn't going through your things or trying to steal anything," Nikki told him.
"Then what were you doing?" Tommy asked.
"I told you before this place seemed familiar to me and I was just hoping that something in here would spark my memory," Nikki replied.
"But everything in here belongs to me and we've already established that I don't know you so why would anything in here spark your memory," Tommy said.
"You're right, I'm sorry for coming here, this was a mistake I'll let myself out," Nikki said as she headed for the door.
"Nikki, wait," Tommy said he reached out and grabbed her arm.
Nikki felt Tommy's hand on her arm and turned around to face him when all of a sudden she got a premonition. Everything came flooding back to her as she saw the day the two of them met aboard the cruise ship, then she saw a vision of their wedding and then the two of them having dinner at the manor with her family.
"It's you," Nikki whispered before everything faded to black once again.
