Author's Notes: This is my first Charmed fic. I'm sick of the lack of reviews I've been getting from other

shows, so I'm not really afraid of discontinuing my stories anymore. I used to put them up complete. So in

other words, no review = no more chapters. I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is. If I get to finish this, it's

going to be a four part story (one for each sister). I will take any reviews, just as long as you say something.

Even the negative ones, really I just want to know what people think of my writing. Charmed does not

belong to me, so I take no credit for the characters, etc. Phoebe and Cole forever! -Anrui, one of the two

sisters known as Moonlight Priestess.

Paige perused the market looking at the list Piper had made. She squinted at the writing and then looked at the names of the things on the shelf. "Piper knows better than to spend me," she complained. "I don't even know how to read this, much less find it in the supermarket." Paige spotted a nice looking guy and smiled. She might as well have a little fun while she was here. Paige sighed as a woman walked up to him, "I suppose not."

Paige turned back to the various items on the shelf. There had to be some way to figure this out. She put a finger to her mouth, "Well, it starts with n, and its six letters long." She scanned the shelf, "Okay, that doesn't work." Paige tried to think of something else and frowned, "Piper, you're going to find out what this stuff is before you send me after it next time."

"It's sage," a young voice told her helpfully.

Paige smiled, "That's right! Phoebe just used that a few days ago. Why didn't I remember that?" She lightly hit her forehead with her palm, "Duh, Paige." She turned around to the lady, "Thank you." The girl looked back at her with dark brown eyes. She flipped her dark hair over her shoulder, and Paige could've swore she reminded her of someone. "Do I...?"

The girl laughed, "Not quite, Aunt Paige."

Paige stared at her for a minute before rolling her eyes, "I know what this is. So, whose are you?"

"Phoebe's," she answered easily.

Paige nodded, "Of course. You wouldn't be the one I actually know about."

The seventeen year old smiled, "You're talking about Melinda! She did say something about that."

Paige put her hands together, "Look, I really don't want to get too involved, since your Phoebe's and all, so why don't I drive you back?" The girl agreed, and they walked in silence through the aisle. Paige couldn't help but ask in a minute, "So, you know, who's..."

"My father?"

"Well, yeah."

She smiled mischieviously, "Wouldn't you like to know? But I can't tell you that yet. By the way, my name's Cassandra, but Melinda calls me Cassie."

Paige sighed, "I didn't think I could. There's always some rule that gets in the way."

"It's not as bad as all that, Aunt Paige."

Paige pointed a finger at her, "None of that Aunt Paige stuff. It's kind of weird."

"Do you want to take my car?" Cassie offered as they walked through the sliding doors. "I mean I know you usually just... but it's kind of nice once in awhile."

"Okay, so where's your car," and she added giving her a look, "How did you manage to get it here?"

She pointed at a nice looking red Mustang convertible and then put a finger to her mouth, "Shh. Melinda doesn't quite know I brought it along. She's always preching that personal gain stuff to me."

Paige smiled, "I know exactly what you mean." They got into the car after Cassie turned off the alarm, and Paige looked over, "This is so nice. Aren't there usually demons or something?"

"I didn't come because of any thing like that. This would be a more personal mission."

"The Elders allowed that?" Paige asked, thinking about how strict they usually were.

Cassie grinned nervously, "I kind of went around them."

"You better not mention that to Piper."

"I'm sure Aunt Piper will understand. I mean, she did help me get here."

"If Piper helped, and it didn't involve any evil thingys... then what could have..."

"Calm down, Aunt Paige. I know what I'm doing," she ran her fingers through her hair and her voice took on a more serious tone, "This concerns my existance."

Paige glanced at the passing sidewalk, "Why is that never a big deal?"

"Because, Aunt Paige," Cassie answered smiling again, "That's part of being Charmed, or in my case I guess it would be something else..." She quit talking as they reached the house and sat staring. "I'm actually nervous," she admitted, "It's strange to see you guys so young."

"At least tell me I still look good in the future."

Cassandra giggled, "I don't think I'm here to tell you that."

"Fine, fine, spoil the fun." Paige took and her keys and opened the door. "I'm home."

Piper came down the stairs and paused for a minute, "Why didn't you just rob in like you usually do?"

Cassie hid behind the door while Paige spoke, "Well, there was a cute guy, and..."

"Say no more," Piper said, "I'm not about to start listening to your personal life." She walked off, and Cassie let out a breath. "Why are you hiding from Piper?" Paige looked at her niece.

"I've always been just a bit scared of her."

Paige laughed, "Who? Piper? What's there to be scared about?"

"She's not your aunt," Cassie sniffed angrily.

They heard a voice from the kitchen, "Who are you talking to Paige?"

Paige motioned her in and shut the door and then appeared in the kitchen, "I'm just thinking out loud." I sound so stupid, she thought to herself.

Phoebe kept typing on her laptop, "Okay, but keep it down. I'm trying to work."

Paige got the best idea, "But I brought someone to see you."

Phoebe stopped and looked up annoyed, "Who could you have possibly brought to see me?"

Paige leaned down and smiled as she whispered, "Your daughter."

"My what!?!"

Paige stood back up proudly, "You heard me."

Phoebe gave her sister a dirty look, "Paige, I don't have time for this."

"I'm serious Phoebe. Look, she's sitting on the couch," Paige pointed, "And, she looks a lot like you."

Phoebe got up from her chair, still doubtful, and froze as she looked at the girl on the couch. She grabbed Paige, "That's acutally my daughter."

Paige nodded, "That is what I've been trying to tell you."

Phoebe put a hand to her head, "I haven't been in a serious relationship since... well, Cole, actually. I can't even see myself getting married again, let alone having a daughter."

"I know, I always thought you'd end up an old maid at this rate."

"You're not helping," Phoebe hissed.

"Well, why don't you go talk to her. Future children don't just pop up for nothing." Phoebe thought about it for a minute and then took a deep breath. Paige followed as she walked forward into the living room.

The girl stood up, "Mom..."

"Okay, you don't call me that," she pointed to Cassie, "And Paige, you stop snickering behind my back."

Piper came in and looked at the three of them, "Who forgot to inform me of the meeting?"

Cassandra looked at the carpet, "Hello, Aunt Piper."

Piper sat down, "I see..." Phoebe sat down wearily beside her, and Paige sat off to the side in the chair.

"Where's Melinda?" Paige asked.

"Leo took her to the park."

"Uncle Leo always was so nice to us," Cassie put in.

Piper regarded her for a minute, "So why are you here?"

"Well, you see, I wasn't really supposed to be born in the first place. Phoebe was actually supposed to have a boy... and you know all that. But then the ordinary time cycle got messed up because the Source wasn't supposed to make it past Aunt Prue, but he did. Then Mom, I mean Phoebe, decided not to marry... Cole and that messed things up a little further. They kept seeing each other accidently when her sisters were out, and one time she slipped..."

"Slipped?" Piper asked. Cassie blushed. "Oh."

"So, Phoebe ended up with me. It all eventually worked out in the end. The old Phoebe you saw that time was the first one that followed this events. Mom and Dad didn't get it exactly right for a few go arounds, so she really did end up that bitter. She just didn't tell you everything. As you know, though, that's not quite how it happened this time."

"Wait a minute," Paige stopped her, "You mean to tell me that Cole's your father."

Cassie tipped her head to the side, "Who else?"

Phoebe covered her eyes, "Piper, tell me I'm not hearing this."

Piper placed a hand on her shoulder, "Sorry, sweety, but I'm afraid you are."

Cassie coughed, and they all turned back to her, "So... a few weeks ago I was in the attic... messing around with the Book of Shadows, and it turned me to this time travel spell. I asked Melinda about it, and she agreed that I probably needed to use it. Aunt Piper said that they had to find out why I had to go first though, so Uncle Leo asked the Elders, and they found the problem."

"And the problem was it didn't work out right this time?" Piper guessed.

"Exactly," Cassie looked at her mother, "There was also another spell that came up, and we discussed it at length. You yourself came up with what we had to do. Since you had always swore that it was Cole's 'other half' that made your relationship so hard, we decided to show you what your life would be like if neither of you had magic."

Phoebe finally met her daughter's gaze, "It's always been hard not to blame magic. I'll do it, just because I want to know for sure if we could've made it without it."

They sat in silence, nobody saying anything else, and then Cassandra stood up, "If we're going to do this we better start. I trust you can read an ingredient list, Aunt Piper, since Aunt Paige apparently can't"

"That was low, and I told you not to call me that!" Paige scolded her, getting up.

Cassie stared at her still silent mother, and Piper waved her on, "She's still battling her demons, and this kind doesn't have a spell to make them go away." Cassie nodded, but was still frowning as she followed her future aunt back into the kitchen.
