"They are our children." Phoebe replied, piecing it all together. "They are our children and they need our help."
"Oh, oh, oh." Piper replied, looking at them closely. "Oh, they are too. I thought I knew you, I saw you in the future, just a younger version. Oh, you are so beautiful."
She walked over to the two and hugged them. Phoebe did the same to her three and Prue looked at her son and daughter.
"May I ask one thing here?" She said as they looked at her. "Why are you a boy?"
Andy chuckled at her and they both hugged her. Prue felt the tears start to flow and she started to cry, her head resting on her eldest child's shoulder.
Each Charmed One pulled away at the same time and took a good look at the children.
"We really can't call you children can we now? You all look a bit old to be kids." Phoebe asked, brushing the tears off for the second time that night. "How old are you all?"
"Well, I'm the oldest, I'm 18." Patti said. She then proceeded to point out each and their age. "Melinda and Jasmin are both 16, Kirsten is 14, Andy is 17 and Charli is 15. We were all a little close together. Except maybe Laura. She was born a while after the others. She's the baby of the family. Only 10."
"Am not." Little Laura replied. The three original Halliwells smiled at each other.
"Okay. Now why are you all here?" Phoebe finally asked, the other two having avoided the issue. "How can we help you?"
"Oh, well, we didn't really expect for all of us to come but, um, we need Prue to unbind Charli's powers." Andy replied looking at Prue for her reaction.
"What do you mean, I actually bound my own daughter's powers?" Prue's hand flew to her mouth, looking horrified, as did her two sisters. "How, why would I do that?"
"Mum." Charli came up to her and placed her hand on Prue's arm. "It wasn't your fault, it was my father. You were set to be married, you told him the family secret and he freaked. He made you Mum. If you didn't, he was going to take drastic action. Like kidnap me."
"But, I would..." She started, but Andy stopped her.
"Mum, you thought you were in love with him, and you were already a single mum of a toddler with pyrokenisis." He stopped as Charli put her other hand on his shoulder. "We still loved you mum. Even after she found out."
Prue eyes filled with tears again, but she didn't let them fall. Smiling she hugged them both again.
"We will help you." Phoebe said, looking at them all before suggesting that they all went to the Manor.
"Great idea mum." Kirsten answered, leading the other six out to the parking lot. The three elder Halliwells stayed till last. They looked at each other as Kirsten said it.
"I will never get used to that." Phoebe said.
*At the Manor*
"We have so many questions." Phoebe pointed out, looking around the odd assortment of Halliwells in the Manor. The three Turners and Charli were squeezed on to the couch, Melinda had Laura on her lap, the poor child was sleeping, and Andy was sitting in the other chair to that of Prue's. Prue was sitting on the chair with Phoebe next to her. Piper was being Piper and pouring tea, getting cookies. "What should we ask you?"
"Anything." Patricia answered looking around. "The place hasn't changed much."
"Okay then." Piper said. She handed Andy a cup of tea. "What was that you said about pyrokenisis?"
"Oh, well, it seems like I am the first in the family, ever, to have this power. Let alone be a boy. The Powers Above were so angry when they found out what you did Prue..." He smiled at her and she laughed. "You were giving birth to the first boy in centuries that had powers...whoa, were they screaming...they nearly made you have an abortion."
"What did I do that got them all so angry?" She asked him, looking from him to Charli. "It must have gotten them really worked up to get them to do that."
"You conjoured my father. Andy Trudeau, from the dead. Well, sort of. Do remember that plane that you two were on when he died?" He asked, looking at her as her eyes opened slightly and stared at him. She nodded and he continued. "You kinda got pregnant." He answered to her shocked reaction. "I was as shocked when you told me. And I was only 7 years old. I think it was right after I told you I wanted to be a police man."
"Oh, Prue." Phoebe said. "Andy came back to you."
"Yes, he did." She replied wistfully. "But what about Charli, why can't you just get the Prue in the future to give them back to you?"
"Oh, um, well there's this thing..." She started.
"You didn't tell your mother did you?" Phoebe laughed at her. "Or rather, you didn't even ask?"
"She would have killed me." She replied shortly. "She would never un-bind my powers."
"Hey, in the room." Prue said, narrowing her eyes at Charli. Her voice was a little shocked. "I would never kill you Charli."
"Just an expression." Andy hurried to defend his sister. She shot him a grateful look and Prue shot daggers at him. He frowned.
"Prue, mum, you are a very different woman in the future. You lost that 'I love life' attitude. And we missed it." She answered shortly. Feeling a little hurt at that outburst Prue decided to leave it.
"Okay then, Patricia, why is your last name Turner?" Patricia cocked her head to the side with a funny expression on her face. "Who did Phoebe finally marry?"
"Call me Patti please. My father is Cole, Cole Turner. A former demon. By the name of Balthazor."
