Patty

"Well we know Grams had her power!"Prue said shakily as they ran down the street, away from the house.

"That was one scary witch!"Bella said and they all nodded in agreement.

"I don't remember having powers at that age. Do you?"Piper asked as they slowed.

"I'm not sure. We must have had them before we even remember having them."Prue said panting for breath.

"Well,"Phoebe said catching the attention of her sisters "didn't I tell you that I was a cute?"

Prue and Piper rolled their eyes while Bella picked up a news paper that had been left on a bench.

"Mom is barely pregnant with me."She told them after reading the date. "January 27, 1987."

"Do you think this is when she made the pact with Nicholas?"Piper asked.

"It would explain a lot. Maybe that is why we were sent back to this date. So we can warn mom about it."Phoebe suggested and frowned when she saw her sisters staring at her in shock. "What?"

"That actually made sense!"Prue exclaimed, her eyes wide.

"Shut up!"Phoebe said laughing.

"We might have a better chance at explaining it to mom than we did Grams. This time we have to use our powers."Piper said.

"The problem is she's on the lookout for four warlocks now."Bella sighed.

"Then maybe only two or three of us should explain it to her, just in case."Phoebe said but looked like she didn't like that plan.

"Well, since you three have already been born, you lot should go."Bella said sadly.

"That's not fair on you. Not being able to see mom."Prue frowned but Bella just shrugged.

"It's not like I have any memories of her anyway. Besides, she knows you three exist so it would be easier for her to believe. We better get going though, before Nicholas gets there before we do."

xXx

"It's sort of freaky that Buddy's hasn't changed."Phoebe said as she, Piper and Prue walked into the dinner while Bella waited outside, peeking through the window every now and then.

"Do you see mom anywhere?"Prue asked. Phoebe shook her head disappointed but Piper tensed and gripped onto Prue's arm tightly.

"Mom."She whispered, Prue and Phoebe followed her gaze to see Patty walking out of the kitchen with a plate. Her brown hair trailing down her shoulders and her warm brown eyes, the same brown eyes that Phoebe, Piper and Bella had gotten, sparkled as she smiled.

The three sisters sat down at the nearest table, all the time not taking their eyes off Patty.

"She's so beautiful!"Phoebe whispered.

"I don't remember her working here."Piper said suddenly.

"Well she was a single mother of three, she had to pay the bills somehow. I remember she would come home late at night and she'd kiss me and she always smelt like burgers."Prue said smiling at the memory.

"You're lucky. You have more memories of her than I do."Piper whispered pouting slightly.

"Atleast you have some, Phoebe and Bella don't have any."Prue whispered back to her.

"Here she comes!"Phoebe said nervously, secretly hoping that Patty would like her.

"What do we do if she recognises us?"Piper asked quickly.

"You freeze the place and when she see's that we haven't froze then she'll believe us when we tell her who we are" was Prue's reply as she lay her hand on Piper's arm to calm her down.

"How do I look?"Phoebe asked flattening her hair down.

"You look lovely, like always."Prue said calmly as Patty made her way over to their table.

"What can I get you?"Patty asked but got no reply. The three sisters were staring at her blankly, Prue opened her mouth but no words came out and Patty guessed they didn't know what to order. "Take you're time, I'll come back."

"No, wait!"Piper all but shouted making Patty jump "we're ready. Aren't we Prue?"

Patty's eyes widened slightly at the mention of her daughters name so Prue quickly said "prunes. She wants to know if you have any prunes."

Patty seemed to buy it as she nodded and said "I think so. I'll go and check."

"No! She can order something else!"Phoebe said frantically, not wanting Patty to leave.

Patty frowned as she looked at the three girls more closely. "Have we met? You look familiar."

"Yeah so do you."Prue answered before turning to Piper "now."

Piper held out her hands but nothing froze. She tried again but still nothing happened.

"What's the matter?"Phoebe whispered.

"It's not working!"Piper said in frustration.

Prue squinted her eyes, trying to move the cup of water on the table but it stayed still.

"Okay how is that possible?"Phoebe asked while Patty looked between the three of them oddly.

"Patty, phone!"Another waitress called out and Patty looked relieved at the excuse to leave.

"I'll uh...be right back."She muttered before quickly turning back for the kitchen.

"We know you're pregnant!"Piper said before she could stop herself and Patty froze before slowly turning back towards them.

"What?"

"This is going to sound really strange but we are really-"Phoebe started but was cut off by Prue.

"Cousins. From out of town."

"And we need to tell you something important about the baby you're carrying...sort of."Piper said, wishing she had never brought it up when she saw the pain in Patty's eyes.

"Not that it's any of you business but I can't get pregnany any more. Medically impossible. Excuse me." Patty said before storming into the kitchen.

"I panicked. I thought, you know, close family would know she was pregnant." Piper said when Prue and Phoebe turned towards her.

"Well not only does she not know she's pregnant, she doesn't even know she can get pregnant."Phoebe said.

"We have bigger problems."Piper said. "We have no powers which means we have no way of stopping Nicholas."

"How do we not have powers? Little Prue and Piper do!"Prue said put out.

"Maybe only one set of us can have powers at the same time, in the same time."Piper said and Phoebe rolled her eyes.

"Well done, Mr Spock."

xXx

"I was working mother, that's why I couldn't take your call."Patty said down the phone, rolling her eyes.

"That premonition that you said you had. Did you see what the warlocks looked like?"Penny asked nervously making Patty frown.

"The warlocks? No, I didn't see their faces. Why?"

"I'll tell you why! Because I saw them, all three of them! Here, and one of them had a hold of Prue!"

Patty's eyes widened and she felt her heart drop.

"Are the girls okay?" Was the first thing she asked.

"For now, thanks to me."

"I'm coming home right now."Patty said hanging up, quickly getting her coat and heading for the door.

xXx

Bella paced impaitantly outside of Buddy's, wishing she was in there. She sighed before turning to walk to other way, not noticing that a women was right behind her searching through her bag.

They bumped into each other and the stuff in the womens bag fell to the floor.

"I'm so sorry."Bella apologized as she bent down to help the women pick everything up.

"It was my fault."The women said and Bella's head snapped up when she recognised the voice. Her eyes widened when she saw that it was Patty.

"I'm such a klutz sometimes."Patty said making Bella smile.

"Me too."She whispered but Patty heard her anyway.

"Yeah?"Patty asked as she and Bella picked up the many items and placed them into her bag.

"Crackers?"Bella asked when she noticed them.

"Upset stomach."Patty shrugged and Bella just nodded as she handed her a packet of ciggarettes.

"You shouldn't really be having those right now."Bella blurted out and Patty raised an eyebrow "it's bad for the upset stomach."

Patty smiled gratefully at her as they stood up. "You're really sweet. Thanks, I gotta go."

"Is everything alright?"A police officer asked from behind Bella.

"Yeah, thank you officer."Patty said and Bella turned around.

"Oh my god. Nicholas!"Bella whispered but Nicholas was too busy staring at Patty.

"I'm late. Thanks again."Patty said to Bella before quickly getting into her car.

Nicholas tried to follow in his police cruiser but Bella stepped in front of him. "Excuse me, where is Berkeley?"She asked and Nicholas grabbed her by the top of her arms.

"Get out of my way!"He snarled but Bella kneed him in the groin making him bend over in pain before snatching the keys from his hands and throwing them into the road.

She ran quickly into Buddy's and her sister turned to her in surprise.

"Bella, what are you doing?"Prue asked.

"Nicholas is here!"Bella said and they all stood up.

"What? Where?"Piper asked put before Bella could reply Phoebe cut in.

"Never mind that, run!"She said and they all ran in the dirrection Patty went in. Running out of the dinner just as Nicholas walked in.

xXx

"Is Nicholas wearing the ring?"Piper asked as soon as they were away from Buddy's, walking down their street.

"I don't know."Bella admitted. "I don't think so."

"It's a good thing you were there Bells. That could have been where he was making his move on mom."Phoebe said giving Bella a one armed hug.

"I don't think so, otherwise we would be home by now."

"Are you alright?"Prue asked after a few seconds of silence.

"Yeah it's just seeing mom for the first time and talking to her...I didn't expect it to feel so..."Bella trailed off not knowing how to explain.

"What? Good?"Piper guessed.

"No, overwhelmed."Bella said and Phoebe nodded her head in agreement.

"I know where you're coming from sis."Phoebe said, hugging Bella tighter to her.

"Well, moms car is here. Atleast we know were she is."Piper said nodding over at the driveway.

"But how do we get to her?"Prue asked sighing. "Grams must have told her about us by now. She probably thinks we're warlocks."

"Our only option is to wait for Nicholas to show."

"But what do we do without our powers?"Bella asked.

"Well, technically they still have their powers. If you count little Prue and little Piper. We need our powers and they have them. Come on."Phoebe said before walking towards the house.

xXx

The sisters crept through the back door, trying to be as quiet as they could. Phoebe was in front of them and was looking around causiously.

"Coast is clear."She said, walking further into the kitchen.

"What if Grams catches us?"Prue asked.

"She'll kill us before Nicholas has a chance."Piper agreed, looking uncertain.

"She won't catch us."Bella reassured them as she and Phoebe walked towards the opposite wall and bent down near the heating duct.

"Observe."Phoebe said smugly as she opened the duct and they could hear Patty and Penny's voices.

"You said yourself the girls are safe with you. Besides, I want to go."They heard Patty say, Piper and Prue raised an eyebrow at them.

"You're making a big mistake Patty, he's not coming back."Penny said.

"How did you-"Prue started but Phoebe cut her off.

"Heating dusk to upstairs. Me and Bells used to listen to you two for hours, especially when you used to sneak Andy up to your bedroom in highschool."

"For the record, that one was Phoebe not me."Bella said quickly when she saw Prue's expression.

"Okay, Bella you stay here and keep tabs on them while we get out younger selfs."Piper said.

xXx

Prue, Piper and Phoebe walked into the other room to see Little Prue and Piper fighting over a doll while Little Phoebe watched quietly.

"That's my doll!"Little Prue exclaimed.

"You gave it to me!"Little Piper yelled back.

"No I didn't, you stole it!"Little Prue yelled but Piper just held the doll even closer towards her.

"That's true, you did steal it."Prue said and Phoebe rolled her eyes, sensing an arguement.

"I did not!"Piper said.

"Yes, you did!"

Before the fight could carry on they saw Little Prue use her powers to take the doll out of her sisters arms.

"Hey, thats not fair!"Piper said, louder than she intended and the three little girls turned towards them.

"You came back."Little Prue said, looking up at older Prue fondly.

"Yes, we did and we are going to keep it a secret, right?"Prue said and her younger self nodded.

"Okay."Little Prue said happily.

"Grams said you're bad people."Little Phoebe said.

"No we're good people. We are like you."Piper explained but Little Piper didn't seem so convinced.

"We're family."Prue said.

xXx

Bella leaned closer towards the heating duct as she heard more of her mother and grandmother's conversation.

"He sent me a note. He asked me to stop by his hotel after my shift."Patty said.

"Dad?"Bella wondered out loud.

"You know it was doomed from the start. You didn't even take on his last name! Don't you remember what happened Patty?"Penny asked and Bella frowned. What had happened?

"How can I forget? It almost killed me!"Patty said sharply making Bella cringe slightly.

"Why can't you just wear your uniform to see him?"Penny asked changing the subject quickly.

"Because I don't want him to know that I'm a waitress."Patty said more softly than before "it can't hurt to talk right?"

"Let him go I say. If husbands were supposed to stay married, God would have made them live longer."Penny said.

"Mother!"Patty scolded her and Bella couldn't help but quietly laugh.

"Oh, Grams!"She said fondly.

xXx

"We're not supposed to go places with strangers."Little Prue said.

"But we're not strangers Prue. You're safe with us and I know that you know in your heart that you can trust us."Prue said smiling softly at her.

"If you're really family, prove it."Little Piper said not believing them.

"Prove it? How the hell are we supposed to do that?"Piper asked fustrated and Phoebe mock glared.

"Piper!"She said sternly and Little Piper's eyes widened as she looked up at her older self.

"You're name is Piper too?"she asked in amazement.

"Uh, yeah, and not only do you have the same name..."Phoebe said walking over to the dresser, kicking and hitting it the same way she had done earlier that morning "...we all have the same secrets too."

Little Phoebe smiled widely at her as Prue said "okay, follow me."

They turned to leave but before they could leave the room a little boy walked in, dressed as a cowboy holding up a fake gun.

"Freeze!"He said and Little Piper shrugged.

"Okay Andy,"she said before holding up her hands, freezing Andy and the sisters.

"I'm telling mom! You're not supposed to freeze people!"Little Phoebe said.

"But he said to."Little Piper said innocently.

"Piper, Prue, Phoebe! Mom is coming down-"Bella said as she ran into the room, her eyes widening when she saw them frozen "oh, boy."

She could hear them coming down the stairs and prayed that they wouldn't come into this room.

"Fine, if you must go, go. I can't stop you, but I also can't promise I won't teach the girl's a new spell while you're gone."Penny said and Bella heard Patty sigh.

"Can't you bake cookies with them like all the normal grandmothers?"Patty asked.

"The recipe's they learn from me don't come from Betty Crocker, dear."

"Bye girls, love you."Patty called into the room and everyone unfroze.

"Whoa, were did you come from?"Andy asked when he saw Bella standing next to him.

"That's a good question."Prue asked turning towards her in confusion.

"Don't ask. We have to go, mom's just left and Grams is-"Bella started.

"Prudence, Piper, Phoebe."Penny called.

"-coming."Bella finished.

"Go, go, go, go, go!"Prue said ushering her younger girls out of the room.

"I wanna go!"Andy whined.

"No, Andy. You have to stay here."Bella said, looking at the little boy sadly.

"No!"He yelled.

"Shhhh!"Bella said as they all stopped by the door.

"We get it!"Piper hissed.

"Aw, little Andy is so cute!"Phoebe cooed.

"Alright."Piper said putting Little Piper down and pushing the others further into the kitchen. She turned back to Little Piper she said quickly "freeze him!" before walking into the kitchen and closing the door behind her. When she opened it again Andy was frozen and Piper looked up at her with a smug smile.

"We need to go!"Prue said quickly as Piper picked her younger self up and they ran towards the back door.

"Maybe that was why Andy was so suspicious of us."Bella said.

"Does Grams keep the keys in the same spot?"Piper asked outloud before she spotted them. "Yes, good."

xXx

Penny entered the room and the first thing she saw was Andy frozen. She chuckled before saying "oh Andy. Did Piper freeze you again? Oh you poor dear. You won't remember a thing." She waved her hand across his face and he looked up at her blankly "where are the girls?"

"I think the strange ladies took them."Andy replied and Penny felt her heart drop.

She ran outside as quick as she could, just in time to see the car pull out of the driveway.

xXx

"Okay, girls. If we see a bad guy what do we do?"Prue asked as they all stood in the park while Bella had wondered off a few minutes before.

"She gonna cry."Little Prue said pointing at Phoebe.

"Am not!"Little Phoebe exclaimed.

"You tell her sweety!"Phoebe said narrowing her eyes at older Prue.

"I'm gonna freeze him."Little Piper said.

"And I'm gonna move him."Little Prue said.

"And then we'll take care of him and then..."Prue trailed off letting the little girls answer.

"Run like the wind!"They said together and the older women smiled.

"Exactly. Alright, lets give it a try."Prue said throwing a ball into the air. Little Piper froze it before Little Prue moved it.

"Can we do it again?"Little Prue asked excitedly.

"Sure, practice make perfect."Prue said and Little Piper and Prue ran off while Little Phoebe walked over to her older self.

"What can I do?"she asked and Phoebe smiled.

"You can look pretty,"she told Little Phoebe "you're good at it."

Little Phoebe smiled before running off to watch her sisters.

"Those girls are amazing! They have control, they can aim!"Piper said staring after them.

"Yeah, well, they've had their powers a lot longer than we have. I mean did. I think."Prue said frowning.

"Why do you think we lost them?"Phoebe asked.

"We lost alot growing up, maybe we lost them too."Prue suggested as Bella walked over to them.

"I finally found a pay phone. Mum is at work until five and Nicholas is on duty until six."She told them and they let out a breath of relief.

"Good, at least we know where he is. The girls are ready."Prue said and Bella frowned.

"Well I'm not."She said.

"Neither am I."Phoebe said and Prue looked between them confused.

"Why not?"Piper asked just as confused as Prue was.

"Mom died before me or Bells had enough memories of her. Now she's alive and pregnant with Bella. If we stop Nicholas, we have to go back to our own time."Phoebe explained.

"And there's no mom there."Bella muttered.

"We have no choice."Prue sighed as a cop car pulled up next to the car they had stolen.

"Ladies. Is this your car?"the cop called over to them and they all groaned.

Please review and tell me what you think :)
