series it changes and becomes this story years later ^_^
*A discovery*
"Come on Piper, where are you?" Phoebe muttered. "Surely you have to be somewhere."
The front door slammed, and Phoebe's ears prickled with hope. "Piper? Is that you?" She called.
Prue orbed into the room. "No, it's only me." She said, and then frowned. "You know, I'm so glad we have new neighbors, seeing as the old ones know I'm dead."
"Uh huh." Phoebe nodded, as another figure orbed into the attic. It was Paige.
"Hi." Paige announced.
"Paige!" Prue exclaimed. "Do you know where Piper, Melinda, Wyatt or Grace are?"
"No." Paige frowned. "I can't find Leo and the Elders are in some meeting thing. They won't talk to anyone."
"That can't be right." Phoebe said, frustrated. "You know, I'm still not getting anything? Piper must have disappeared off the face of the earth. Either that or she's in the underworld. Speaking of, where is Cole? He was supposed to be reporting back."
"Well I'm sure he'll be here-"
Cole shimmered in. "Hi all. Sorry I'm late."
"Any news of Piper or the kids?"
Cole nodded. "Uh-uh and uh-huh. I haven't heard anything on Piper, but I've heard a whole ton on the kids." Cole ran a hand through his brown hair, making it slightly disheveled.
"So, what's the low-down?" Prue said impatiently. "I want them back!"
Cole gave her a LOOK. The two had never gotten on anyway. "It's bad." He exhaled slowly.
Prue, Phoebe and Paige glared at him. "You don't say?" Paige muttered sarcastically.
Cole looked at them all again, which shut them up. "Well from what I've heard Melinda, Wyatt and my Grace-" Phoebe coughed pointedly. "Our Grace," Cole said, rolling his eyes, "are going to be the power of three when they get old enough."
"What? That can't be right! Well, technically it can, but they aren't all related! And they aren't all girls! Nothing against men or anything but." Prue trailed off.
"This. Is. Not. Right." Paige said, gritting her teeth. "I'm going back up. Maybe I can find-" She was cut off as Leo and Andy orbed in.
"There you are!" Cried Phoebe. "Leo, Cole's heard that the kids are going to be the next Power of Three."
"He's right." Leo said. He looked exhausted. "And that's not all either."
"What now?" Groaned Phoebe. "I don't think I can handle anymore. And not to sound shallow, but I'm supposed to be meeting Jason tonight. I know it's not for another few hours but you know how it is. Don't get me wrong. I'm terrified that Grace has to go through this. I mean it was expected but."
Paige gave her an understanding look while Cole and Prue rolled their eyes. "Continue please Leo." Prue said pointedly, looking at Phoebe and Paige.
"Well Prue, I have bad news. For you and Paige. It's about the babies-"
"Uh-uh. No!" Paige cried. "Why us?"
"Why me?" Phoebe replied, looking more upset than a few moments ago.
"Well if it has anything to do with the baby Glen has to be here." Paige said stubbornly.
"Fine! Go! Orb him in!"
Paige orbed out, and orbed back a minute later with Glen, who looked confused. "What's going on?" He asked. "What's this about the baby?"
"As I was saying." Leo cleared his throat. "Prue, the Elders have confirmed you're having twins."
"Well that's good right?" Prue asked. Andy strode over to her quickly and put his arm around her protectively, while Glen did the same to Paige.
"It depends on how you look at it. There's going to be another crazy Power of Three mix up. The twins and Paige's child will be the Power of Three. As well."
"That makes no sense. How can there be two Power of Three's in the same generation?" Paige asked, frowning.
"That's just it. It makes no sense."
"Is it really predictable who the next Power of Three is?" Glen asked, raising his eyebrow.
"It can be. In this case it's pretty clear who it will be. Halliwells. Again."
"Okay, let me point out the ways that is twisted and wrong." Paige said, clearing her throat. "Number one. Grace is half demon. I've heard of half white lighter, but demons are evil?"
"Hey!" Cole protested.
"Don't you protest at me Cole Turner. Not only did you turn evil, you tried to kill me several times." Paige pointed out, without skipping a beat. "Secondly, it can't seriously be two sets? Thirdly, both sets are in the Halliwell family? I'm not-"
"I think we get the picture." Andy said with a small smile.
"Well before we worry about that, we have to find the kids. And we have to find your darling wife." Prue told Leo. "And we have to find them soon."
