At 6:30 Leo took the girls over to Phoebe's.   Piper thought it was best that he do it so that Makayla wouldn't put up a fuss.  That however didn't work.

"Hi you three, I mean four."  Phoebe said as she opened the door.  Melinda and Maddy ran into the house to find their cousins but Makayla wrapped her arms around Leo's leg. 

"No daddy you can't leave me here."  Makayla said trying to guilt Leo into taking her home. 

He bent down to face her.  "Makayla listen to me.  Mommy and I need some alone time.  You will be perfectly safe here with Aunt Phoebe and you know that.  We will just be next door."  Makayla started to cry but Leo knew that it was only a trick.  He peeled her off and gave her to Phoebe.  He decided to orb out and get away quickly. 

Back at the manor Piper decided to get the dishes done before Leo got back from delivering the girls to Phoebe.  Recently he hadn't let her do anything.  She knew that he would freak if he knew she was doing the dishes but she would not be able to relax until they were done. 

Leo orbed into the living room where he had left Piper.  His heart was breaking at the thought of leaving Makayla while she was crying but he knew for the good of his marriage they needed this night alone.  He looked around the room and noticed that Piper was not there.  Suddenly he heard a large crash in the kitchen. It sounded like glass shattering.  He quickly ran into the kitchen to find Piper standing at the sink in shock.  The windows in front of her were missing. 

"Oh my god. Piper what happened?  Are you okay?"  Leo said rushing to her side. 

"I sneezed.  I was doing the dishes and some bubbles flew up and I sneezed.  The next thing I knew the windows blew up."  Her voice was shaky like she was about cry. 

"Okay come and sit down."  Leo said taking her arm to lead her to the table but moments later she sneezed again.  This time every glass cupboard face in the kitchen shattered.  Leo instinctively covered Piper's body with his own to protect her.  The glass fell to the floor and Piper started to cry. 

"Leeeoooo.  What's going on?"  She sank to the floor. 

Leo bent down and placed his hands on her knees.  "Piper it's going to be okay.  Sit down on a chair, please."  She shook her head no and picked up a few of the larger pieces of glass.  The pieces seemed to melt and form a larger piece right in the palm of her hand. 

"Leo?"

"I know I saw it too.  Here."  He said handing her another piece.  Again it melted and formed to the other piece.  They continued to pick up the glass and watch in amazement as they formed back into the original pain from the cupboard. 

"How is this happening Leo?"

"I don't know, honey.  I am going to call your sisters and get them to come over.  Stay right here."  He stood up and reached for the phone.  "Hi Matt it's Leo.  Can I talk to Phoebe?"

"Actually Leo we kind of have a situation here."  Matt said on the other end. 

"What happened?  Are the girls okay?"  Piper's eyes shot up to look at Leo with concern. 

"Oh they're fine Leo."  Leo gave Piper a reassuring nod.  "Phoebe just had a serious premonition.  She is very upset."

"What did she see?"  Piper looked up again. 

"Piper blowing the kitchen up but the weird thing was that she wasn't touching a thing.  She was standing in the middle of the room and the next I knew she was laying on the floor crying."

"Bring her over here Matt.  Something is going on.  I am going to call Paige."

"Okay.  I will have to bring the kids though." 

"No problem Melinda can watch them while we figure this out."  Leo hung up the phone and told Piper that Phoebe was on her way over.

"Hi Breanna honey is your mommy there?"  Leo said once he dialled Paige's house. 

"Sure but daddy said that I can't bother her."  The eldest of Paige's daughters said. 

"Well can you put you daddy on then?"

"Daddy, Uncle Leo wants to talk to you."   Breanna yelled on the other end of the phone. 

"Leo good I was just going to phone you."  Luke said picking up the phone. 

"Why what's wrong?"

"Paige is moving things all over the house without even intending to.  Plus she was speed reading."

"Speed reading?"

"I know it sounds silly but it's true.  Leo I have to go she is crying again."

"Luke just bring her over here.  Both of her sisters have had their magic go wonky as well.  Bring the girls too."

"Well you're sisters on their way over Piper."  Leo said after hanging up on Luke. 

A few minutes later the front door opened and Leo and Piper could hear little feet running across the room. 

"Mommy."  Makayla shouted as she swung the kitchen door open.

"Makayla stop baby."  Piper yelled before the little girl had a chance to walk on the glass covered floor.  "There is glass everywhere.  Go into the sunroom and stay there with Melinda."  Makayla made a sad face.  She was the Queen of pouting in the Wyatt household.  "Now go Makayla I don't want to argue about this."  The little girl lowered her head and left the room.  "Leo."  Piper said instantly feeling bad that she yelled at her daughter.

"Don't worry I will go and talk to her. Come on you can't stay in here."  He took her hand and led her into the living room.  Matt was helping Phoebe to sit down on the couch and Paige and Luke were just coming in the door.  Leo went to the kids and explained that the parents had to talk and instructed Melinda to keep everybody in the sunroom until they came to get them.  Melinda nodded and went to get some games out for them to play. 

Leo went back into the living room and joined his wife on of the sofas.  With three very upset women he decided that he would have to be the one to take charge.  "Okay Phoebe, explain what happened."  He said.  He could tell that she really wasn't feeling up to it but he also knew that they needed to find out why their powers were changing sooner rather than later. 

"After you left I took Makayla into the playroom and sat her down on the floor.  Laura instantly involved her in some Barbie game that they were busy playing.  I turned around to pick up the laundry basket but before I could touch anything I felt a premonition come on."  She paused long enough to catch her breath and take a few extra deep breaths to clear her mind.  "It was really strange because I wasn't holding onto anything but I saw Piper sneeze and blow up every piece of glass in the kitchen.  The really weird thing was that I felt as if I was there.  As if the glass went into my skin.  That is when I clasped on the floor.  I could feel the glass shatter.  Like it felt pain."

"That's when I came into the room."  Matt interrupted her. 

"Right but the next thing I knew I felt peace.  I felt whole again as if someone or something had fixed the shattered glass.  It was like I was the glass.  Then you called."  She finished and looked up at Piper who was in awe that Phoebe had described the actual events that had taken place. 

"Okay, Paige what happened to you?"  Leo said redirecting his attention. 

Luke took her hand and Paige began.  "I was alone in my room, reading a new childcare book that Luke had picked the other day.  I felt wave of heat, almost a calming sensation come over me.  I looked back down to the book and the pages started to flip.  Like they do when the book is flipping to exactly what we need.  The only difference was that I was reading the pages as they flipped.  I can remember everything that was discussed on 80 pages and I read it all in a matter of seconds.  That is when I call Luke."  Paige looked towards her husband.

"I was in the nursery repainting when I heard her call me.  Right before I left the room I swear I saw the rocking chair that was in the far corner move.  I went into our bedroom to find her in shock."  He paused.  "Once she assured me that everything was fine I went back into the room to find the rocker on the opposite side of the room.  I called her to come and see."

"I went and as I walked down the hallway pictures started to move around.  I had always meant to rearrange them but never found the time to it.  But somehow they were moving.  I remembering thinking that I had to find the time to get it done this week.  I got to the nursery and Luke told what had happened with the chair.  I had just finished reading that it was not good to have a rocker in direct sunlight because the light would keep the baby distracted while you were trying to put it to sleep or feed the baby.  Sure enough the rocker was moved away from the window but close enough that I could still out of it."   She paused again and closed her eyes for a second.  "I then thought that I needed to sit and have a drink of nice cool water to calm my nerves.  I was sure this was nothing more than my imagination.  That is when I really got freaked out.  The rocker moved again so that it was directly behind me and a glass of cold water orbed into my hands.  I hadn't said a word only thought it.  Then you phoned."  Paige said pointing to Leo.  "So what the hell is going on here?"

"I'm not sure."  Leo began.  "All of the power you three experienced stem from your own powers so it is possible that they are just growing."

"I can't heal Leo that is your power."  Piper said in a matter of fact tone. 

"I was just going to say that.  That makes me think that this has nothing to do with you but has everything to do with the three babies you all are carrying."

"Well are you going to find out for sure or not?"  Piper was getting impatient.  With a sneeze she had destroyed her kitchen.  How was she ever going to face the public?

"I was also just going to say that I would check with the Elders and see if they know.  They may have some way of helping us control these infants if it is them.  Until then I don't want the three of you to leave this house.  And Piper don't you dare go into that kitchen.  I will clean it up when I get back."  Piper looked away.  He knew that it was going to kill her leave a room a mess but he didn't want her to hurt herself either.  "I won't be long."  He leaned over and gave Piper a soft kiss on her forehead before orbing out. 

Moments later the bright lights of the heavens filled Leo's eyes.  Immediately two men came up to him. 

"Leo we know why you are here.  All we can say is that the powers are a direct result of the infants."

Leo was confused.  He hadn't said a word yet and already they were shooting down any of his questions.  "The girl's powers are all going crazy.  If this is because of the infants why won't you tell me more?"

"Leo they are a part of destiny that has yet to be fully uncovered.  We don't really know everything yet."  The first man said.

"But you know something, right?  So why not tell me what you do know?"

"I am sorry Leo but we can't."  The second man said. 

"You can't!"  Leo was shocked.  They had never with held something they knew for sure. 

"They will figure it out in time."  The man's voice was certain and unwavering. 

"In time for what?" He was getting frustrated and knew that the girls would not be happy with their lack of information. 

"The time will come when all will be revealed.  For now Leo you must explain to them that they will find out what they need to know when the time is right."  The two men turned and walked away leaving Leo wondering what was going on and how he was going to explain this to the girls.   

A half an hour later the familiar blue lights filled the room.  The three women were still sitting in the exact same place they were when he had orbed out.  Each of them had a protective hand lying across their bellies.  Their attention perked up as the lights cleared and Leo materialized. 

"So?  What did they say?"  Piper said very quickly. 

"I'm afraid not much."  He replied with a sigh. 

"What do you mean?  What did they tell you?"  Phoebe asked. 

He sat down beside Piper and took her hand in his.  "They confirmed that the power boost is the children but they won't tell me why or what is too come."

"Leo what are you talking about?"  Piper said looking into his eyes.

"It felt like they were hiding something.  They knew more than they were saying.  They told me that we would find out in time.  That these babies were more than we were expecting but they can't say how."

"Leo that's not fair.  How can they not tell us?  I mean even in a protection sense.  We have a right to know."  Paige said just as concerned as her sisters. 

"I know Paige.  But they won't tell me anything.  I think you three need to be extra careful.  I think these babies are a part of something bigger than we ever imagined."

Piper let out a heavy sigh.  This was so typical of the Elders.  They always seemed to be evasive when the charmed one needed reassurance the most.  She also trusted Leo and that he would find out the information they needed it.  She got up and decided to head for the attic. 

"Where are you going Piper?"  Phoebe asked.

"I am checking the book.  If they won't tell anything we need to do some research.  I am not going to sit on the side lines with danger looming over my family."  She turned back towards the stairs.  Phoebe and Paige both followed her up to the attic.  They knew that she was right and they had to find out what was to come.

Once in the attic Piper headed to the podium that held their oldest link to their magical heritage.  She started to flip through the book as the rest of the adults in the family joined her.  Both of her sisters came to either side of her while the husbands sat on the various chairs and sofas scattered about the room.  They spent another hour going through the book only to discover they had nothing.   Melinda came into the room just as Piper closed the book in frustration. 

"Mommy some of the little one's are falling asleep."  She said walking over to Piper. 

"Okay sweetie.  We will get them in bed."  She wrapped her arm around the eldest Wyatt child.  "Thanks for watching them for us."

"No problem mom."  Piper led her daughter down the stairs.  Everyone else followed.

"Piper do you want me to take the girls back to my house?"  Phoebe said raising her eyebrow. 

"No, there's no point.  We can do the alone thing another day or should I night."  Leo picked up Makayla who had fallen asleep on the couch.  He carried her upstairs while Phoebe and Paige gathered their children and headed home.  They decided that they would figure out the hidden mystery tomorrow. 

"Okay you two upstairs."  Piper said to Melinda and Maddy.  Both hung their heads and Maddy tried to stall the inevitable bedtime.  "Come on.  I will read you a story if you want?"  She said trying to entice the girls upstairs. 

"I'm too old for a story."  Melinda declared. 

"You're never too old for a story."  Piper gave her a squeeze.  The little girl laughed and the three of them climbed the stairs. 

Once she had Melinda and Maddy asleep Piper went into her bedroom where Leo was sitting reading.

"So they're asleep."  She said crossing the room in her best seductive voice.  She took the book from him and grabbed his hands.  She pulled him to his feet and wrapped her arms around his neck.  "What do you want to do now?"  She knew exactly what she wanted to do and how to get it. 

"Piper we need to talk."  His voice was soft but lined with concern. 

"Not now we don't."  She rested her hands on his chest.  The feel of the muscles beneath his shirt made her warm all over.  She moved her hands back up to his neck and pulled him down to her.  She started at the collarbone and left a trail of warm kisses up to his ear.  She moved ever so slightly and took his mouth within hers.  Her kisses were quick and gentle.  He let out a soft groan but quickly grounded himself again. 

"Piper I am worried."  She resumed her kisses up the other side of his neck.  He was trying his hardest not to give into his desires.  At least until they figured out what was going on.  "Piper, stop.  I mean it I am worried about this baby."

She pushed against his chest and forced him to sit on the edge of their bed.  Pushing him back she straddled his lap.  "Leo I am worried too but it can wait one night."  She could tell that she was getting to him.  It usually didn't take this much work to get him to cooperate she thought.  She placed her hands on either cheek and directed his eyes into hers. "Listen, I have been on edge for the last two weeks and not been able to get a moment with you alone.  I finally get Phoebe to take the girls and two minutes later our world gets turned upside down AGAIN.  Next thing I know my quiet, romantic night is filled with nine little girls and two more couples.  I have had enough craziness for one night.  Now shut up and kiss me."  She said sealing her lips on his.  He seemed to resist for another moment but passion finally won over and he kissed her back.  The long over due sensations filled her body.  She could feel his hands on her back and he pulled her tighter against him. 

He fumbled with the tail of her shirt as her mouth played games with his.  Finally easing it from her pant waist he lifted it over her head.  Her hair cascaded down across her shoulders.  He wanted to pull her even closer, so close that she would melt inside of him.  He could feel her hands undoing the buttons of his shirt.  He moved to help but she pushed him aside.  Instead he worked to get her belt buckle undone.  He eased her pants free as she shed his shirt.  He turned around and laid her down on the bed taking the last inches of her clothing with him.  He started at her toes and kissed his way up to her belly.  It had always made him nervous to have her when she was pregnant but the doctors had always assured him, them, that it was safe.  He loved the way her body looked.  Petite and delicate with a small swell of baby around her middle.  Her skin was tight around the belly but softer than he had ever remembered it being before.  At that moment he knew he was the luckiest man in the world and that there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for her.  He gazed into her eyes.  They smiled in complete joy.  She pulled him back down to her.  He could feel her body tingle under his and knew that although he had wanted to take this slowly that neither of them would last much longer.  They moved together as if they were one person.  Completing one another, satisfying each one to the depths of their souls.  She let out a small cry as their love over whelmed her. 

"Leo promise me that never again we will go without for two weeks."  She said once each had regained the ability to breathe properly. 

"I promise."  He said pulling her tight into him.  They slept the rest of the night in pure harmony.
