A/N: Whoa, Barb! I'm glad you feel so strongly about my story. :-)) And I got some ideas. I'm not using some of yours, but I might use some and I WON'T name their kid, Henry. I'm glad that you got Phoebe's pregnant, I wasn't sure if people understood that.
By the way: Does everyone like Bea and Jonas? What do you think about the Avatars Bartholomew and Margaret?

Chapter 17: Evil Plots and Baby Names

What do you think you're going to name the baby? Bea sat in a rocking chair by the fire, knitting a yellow blanket.

Phoebe studied the sprig of something in her hand. If the baby's a girl than I will name her Iris Adrienne and if he's a boy than I'll name him Adam Benjamin.

Lavender, dear, Bea identified the sprig. Those are lovely names, Lily.

Phoebe smiled. You really think so?

Bea laughed and gave a small frown. If I wasn't telling the truth would I say it?

Jonas, cutting into the conversation, rolled with laughter. You've gone soft since Lily came.

She's not gone soft to you, Jonas, Phoebe remarked.

That's true! Jonas said with a laugh. You've gone soft to Lily then, Bea. Nice to Lily.

But not to her poor brother Jonas, isn't that right? Bea teased, a small smile spreading across her face.

Phoebe, Bea, and Jonas laughed, comfortable and cozy in the cabin in Nemeren.

=====================================

Well... I know that Phoebe is not in any alternate realities, Leo orbed in.

Well that's good, Piper agreed, emotionlessly.

Paige slid Phoebe's laptop across the table towards Piper and Leo. Apparently our sister had been looking up Avatars.

The website read Avatars' in large letters. According to this Avatars were banned from Earth once by a half-witch, half-demon by the name of Kia. The Balance...

The Balance? Piper interrupted.

Paige shushed her. We'll find out about them later. Just let me finish. As I was saying, the Balance has been trying for years to get rid of the Avatars.

The Balance, Piper reminded Paige.

Paige smiled. There's a link to learn about the Balance. The Balance is a group of demons who have crossed over and guard the balance between good and evil. They also hand out the powers to both good and evil. The Balance watch over prophesied figures and important personages of both good and evil. They have been trying forever to get rid of the Avatars, but, as of yet, do not have enough power. Paige sighed. How that is going to help us I don't know.

Cole will come soon... I know it, Piper hoped.

=====================================

He delays his first mission, Margaret confided in Bartholomew. She frowned disdainfully.

He does not want to become an Avatar, Bartholomew agreed.

Are you watching his witch? Margaret asked.

I sent Tur.

That bumbling fool? Margaret glared angrily at the tall, thin man.

Yes. He said that Turner's witch is pregnant, Bartholomew replied quickly and quietly. We must kill her.

No. Not yet, Margaret maintained her stand of not killing, just imprisoning the witch.

She is remembering slowly, through premonitions of Turner and the Halliwells, Bartholomew tried to convince Margaret to send out the order to kill Phoebe. I don't know why you gave her back her power.

If she could not protect herself than she would die. And if she died the entire magic world, at least on the side of good, would rebel against us.

They do not know of our existence.

They would if she died, Margaret finished simply, disappearing in a whoosh of wind.

Bartholomew cursed. He would be leader of the Avatars. He was determined. His first step was to kill Margaret, kill the witch, and destroy the Balance.

=====================================

Gazana smiled. My liege, she bowed to the new Source. Since he had been though to be destroyed when trying to get Bradley's orbing power she had found the Source a new body, alerted the Underworld to his presence, and became the right hand man, so to speak, of the Source.

Yes, Gazana? The Source turned towards his favorite demon.

Fantastic news. Only two Halliwells are above. One, Phoebe, was banned from the earth by the Avatars. Gazana smiled.

The Source said nothing. He just laughed.

A/N: There, Barb. There. No standstill. Weehee. I did it quickly so I hope it doesn't stink. Review!!
