"What do you mean it's true?" asked Piper.
"Morgan and Melinda were involved," said Leo. "Melinda's daughter was the result of that involvement. It's one of the reasons you three are so powerful."
"I don't understand," said Phoebe.
"Morgan Tate's line produces male witches," said Leo. "Melinda Warren's line produces female witches. There are exceptions, but that's normal for their lines. Haven't you ever wondered why Melinda's line was selected to produce the Charmed Ones?"
"I guess we just never thought about it," said Piper.
"That's the reason," said Leo. "When Melinda's daughter was born, it combined the magic from both lines. Everyone knew it was only a matter of time before that combination surfaced. And when it did, it would be much more powerful than just the magic of a single line. So the Elders set out grooming Melinda Warren's descendents for the time when that power came out."
"Us," said Paige.
"Yes," said Leo. "The Power of Three."
"So," said Phoebe, "that means Morgan was our great, great, whatever, grandfather?"
"That's right," said Leo. "That's why I was surprised when I found out who he was. No one knew he'd ever come forward in time. Neither he nor Melinda ever mentioned it to anyone."
"Then he knew who we were," said Piper. "That we were his descendents as well as Melinda's descendents."
"Yes, he did," said Leo.
"Does he have any other descendents?" asked Phoebe.
"He had one son before he met Melinda," said Leo. "As you saw, he was considerably older than she was. That wasn't at all unusual in his time. Many men had much younger wives and such. His line still continues, producing male witches."
"I'll be," said Piper. "So we have some distant cousins out there somewhere."
"Very distant," said Leo. "It has been 300 years, after all."
"Family is family," said Paige. "After so many years of being an orphan, now I find I have family all over the place."
"Come on, orphan," said Piper. "We have a vanquishing potion we don't need that has to be cleaned up."
