Chapter 6
"Pregnant!" Phoebe exclaimed. "I'm so happy for you sweetie!"
"This is so great!" Paige exclaimed. "Okay, why aren't you happy?"
"Because Leo isn't here," Piper replied simply.
The next morning, the Charmed Ones and Prue couldn't work on the case. Phoebe finally had to go into work after getting seven billion phone calls from Elise. Paige had to go grocery shopping, and Prue was trying to convince Piper her pregnancy was a good thing, despite Leo's absence.
"This is so exciting!" Paige squealed quietly as she walked through the grocery store. Needless to say, she was concentrating on her unborn niece or nephew than where she was going. And that led to her bumping carts with another customer.
"I'm sorry," Paige said.
"It was my fault," the other shopper said.
Paige looked at him and practically melted. It was the cutest guy she had ever seen. He had wavy brown hair, deep green eyes, and a cute grin.
"I'm Paige," she said slowly.
"Do you have a last name?" the man asked.
"Matthews," she said even slower.
"I'm Brandon," the guy said.
"You seem to look like you're out of place here," Paige said.
"Well, I'm new in town," Brandon replied. "You could say that I'm not really from around here."
"Well, I'd love to show you around," Paige responded.
"Great!" Brandon smiled, and Paige melted again. "How about we meet at this place I do know, P3?"
"Sure," Paige said. "My sister actually owns P3."
"Really?" Brandon replied. "So, I'll see you tonight? Seven thirty?"
"Sure," Paige replied.
"You got a date?" Piper exclaimed when Paige returned back to the manor.
"Yes," Paige confirmed. "I'm meeting him at P3 tonight."
"Well, good for you," Prue responded.
Piper stood up. "I'm going back to Leo. I have to tell him that I'm pregnant."
"Okay," Paige responded uncertainly.
Piper began the chant:
"Bring together my true love and me,
Through time and space wherever he may be.
Bring me there on this day,
Bring me there but not to stay!"
Piper disappeared, leaving Prue and Paige in the living room.
"You got a date?" a scratchy voice hissed.
"She's one of the witches Davarclin," another voice said. "This was my way in."
"You can expose our plan brother," yet another voice added.
"Chris got in without exposing our plan to the witches," the second voice said. "Who says I can't?"
"This is the past," the first voice said. "It is different here."
"I have a question," the third voice said. "Why hasn't the girl exposed us?"
"She's a freak," the second voice said. "She always has been. Now, I have to go on my date."
"You never did tell me where you are from," Paige said that night at P3.
"Why are you so curious?" Brandon asked with a smile.
Paige smiled back. She glanced over at the bar, where Piper was. Piper had returned from Leo a little while back. He was thrilled about her pregnancy.
"I don't think I'm the mysterious one," Brandon told Paige.
"Oh?" Paige asked. "And what makes you think I'm mysterious?"
"Lot's of things," Brandon replied.

"I had fun tonight," Paige said later as they stood on the manor's porch later.
"Me too," Brandon replied.
They both looked at each other, and kissed.
"Goodnight," Brandon said when they broke apart. Then he left.
Around midnight, all was silent in the Halliwell manor. Chris had returned, and was sleeping on the couch. But he got up and decided to go in the kitchen for a midnight snack.
Chris flipped on the lights in the kitchen, and saw Prue sitting at the kitchen table.
"Whoa, Prue," he said. "You scared me half to death."
"Dead is what you're going to be when they find out who you really are," Prue shot back.
Chris looked around nervously. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
"I thought you knew me better than that," Prue said, her eyes narrowing with every word. "Christopher Perry Halliwell."
"Pregnant!" Phoebe exclaimed. "I'm so happy for you sweetie!"
"This is so great!" Paige exclaimed. "Okay, why aren't you happy?"
"Because Leo isn't here," Piper replied simply.
