Author's Notes: I hope you enjoy this chapter. I highly recommend Starting Over, Believe in Me, and Trust by Starring Piper. These three stories are really great, and you should definitely read them. I also highly recommend Nirvana, and The Power of One by A. Windsor. (If you have problems with homosexuality, do not read The Power of One.) Please check out these stories, and remember to review! Thanks!
An Unexpected Future
Leo looked around the room, and noticed that Paige was not there. He closed his eyes, and concentrated on finding her. He looked up, startled, "She's in an apartment about an hour away from here, and…" Leo looked at the ground, "She's dying." Prue and Phoebe looked up, "What!?" Piper screamed from the pain, "We've got two whitelighters in here….." She took a deep breath, "Obviously someone needs to go get her! Go!" Prue orbed out, and found herself in a small apartment. She looked around her, "Oh no." Glen was sitting on the floor crying, and holding Paige. He backed up when he saw Prue. He pointed an accusing finger at her, "Who the hell are you? Why did you do this to her?" Prue shook her head, "I didn't. But I know who can heal her. We need to get her back to the manor." She walked over to Glen, and put her hand on his arm, "My sisters and I can heal her." He nodded his head, and sadly said, "You're too late. She stopped breathing about a minute or two ago." Prue took a shaky breath, "Move away from her – I can heal her…a little anyways." Glen took a few steps back. Prue bent down over Paige, and placed her hands over her. The healing blue light flowed from her hands, and Paige gasped, and started breathing again. Prue looked around the room as random objects began shaking, "We have to get out of here, Paige, and you know why, so…" Glen reached down to touch Paige, and she took his hand, "I love you. I just thought I'd tell you that before….I….slipped away…" Paige smiled, and looked at Prue, "I'm dying Prue. You can take my place now." Prue looked at her sister with shocked eyes, "No. We are going to be the power of four. C'mon." She looked at Glen, "Will you come too? She needs your support." Glen nodded his head, and lifted Paige up. Prue looked over Glen's shoulder as a bowl dangerously shook, threatening to hit him. Prue hurriedly grabbed Glen's free hand, and orbed them to the attic.

Piper cried out in pain and clutched Leo's hand tighter, "Where are they? I want them to be here…" Leo gently stroked the side of Piper's face, "They'll be here. Don't worry." Just then Prue orbed in with Glen, who was holding Paige in his arms. Piper smiled at Prue, and then screamed in shock, "The baby's coming." Prue shook her head, "Oh no. We need to heal Paige first, or else she will die." Piper sighed in frustration and mumbled under her breath, "I can't have a normal life, can't have a normal husband, can't have a normal wedding, can't have a baby normally." She looked at Prue, and then nodded her head and said through gritted teeth, "Hurry up. This baby is coming!" She screamed again, and Prue pointed to the five candles, "Glen put Paige inside that pentagram shape! I'll get the powder!" She looked around the floor for some, but couldn't see any, "Oh no." Glen looked up at Prue, "What are you trying to find?" Prue looked at Glen with a sorrowful look, "A white powder…there should be some here…I don't understand." Glen looked back at Paige, and shook her a little, "Paige, you are going to die unless you get that powder that Prue is talking about. I know that you can call for things." Paige shook her head, "…Don't …have enough…strength." Glen nodded his head, "Yes, you do. You are the most powerful and strongest person I know. Paige, I love you. I will always love you. I want to be with you, Paige. You can't die on me now." Paige closed her eyes, and a look of concentration spread across her face, "POWDER!" A white powder poured into her hands, and then her hand dropped to the attic floor. Prue looked Phoebe and Piper, "OK. Now would be a really great time to start!" Prue grabbed the powder out of Paige's hand and threw it on her. She then held Phoebe's hand, which held Piper's hand. Then they all began to recite the spell that revived Phoebe. Piper recited the spell between her screams of pain.
The strength that was taken
Return it now
So mote it be
After the original Charmed Ones finished reciting the spell, a black cloud emerged from Paige, and began circling her as it had Phoebe. It finally dissipated into the air, and Paige's eyelids fluttered open, "Wow…Can we say 'ouch'?" Everyone laughed, except for Piper, who screamed. Leo shouted, "I can see the baby's head!" Piper screamed again. Phoebe, who was coaching Piper through labor, yelled out, "OK, one more push. C'mon! Piper, you can do it." Piper screamed, and the baby's cries could be heard throughout the attic. Leo happily cut the umbilical cord, "It's a girl!" Everyone clapped and cheered, and Glen helped Paige up to her feet. Paige clung to Glen for a moment, and smiled up at him, "I love you." Glen looked down at Paige, and whispered in her ear, "I'll be right back." He walked over to Prue, and whispered something to her. Prue giggled, and then orbed Glen to his apartment. He went into his room, and got out a small box. He stuffed it in his pocket, and then went back to Prue. She laughed, "I can't believe you are doing this now." Glen sheepishly smiled at her, "Yeah…well…" She laughed and took his hand, "C'mon." Prue and Glen orbed to the attic, and saw Piper holding her daughter. Glen walked over to Paige, and took her hand, "I love you, and I will always love you. I want to be with you for the rest of my life." He bent down on one knee still holding Paige's hand. Paige smiled, and started to cry. Glen smiled, "Paige Mathews-Halliwell, will you marry me?" Paige smiled, and wiped away the tears that had fallen down her face, "Yes, I will." Glen slipped the expensive diamond ring onto Paige's finger, and then rose to his feet. They kissed, and then Prue ran over to them, and gave them a hug, followed by Phoebe. Piper waved her hand, "What about me? I want a hug too." And then she looked down at herself, "Actually I will give you a hug after I take a shower…." Paige and Glen laughed as Paige walked over to Piper and gave her a big hug. "You are one of the best sisters in the world." Piper smiled, and then looked around the room, and then looked at her sisters, all three of them, "So, is this the Power of Four?" Prue gave a little laugh, "Maybe." She looked around the room at all the smiling faces. What they didn't know was a sister was going to die, and soon….
Author's Notes: I know….I know…Sorry about the cliffhanger. Should I write more? I am undecided whether or not I should continue the Power of Four, or what…I will decide later. Did you like it? Please review. I will write more if I get more than 5 reviews. I don't know if I should continue it or not. So, if you want it continued or have any suggestions, then please review! Thanks!
