Chapter I

At the Manor as Phoebe enters the house.... "Pheebs what happened?" Paige asked looking at Phoebe who is trembling with fear and is obviously confused. Piper hears Paige's worried voice so she went downstairs.

"Hey, what's happening in here?" Piper asked as she moved her eyes from Paige to see Phoebe all shaking.

"Sweetie what happened?" asked Piper with a worried voice. Paige holding Phoebe, leads her to the living room while Piper goes to the kitchen to grab her sister a glass of water. As Phoebe drink the glass of water Piper gave her she slutters "I...I..I.... saw...Cole."

"Pheebs that's impossible we've vanquished him." Paige said. "I know, that's why I was shocked." Phoebe said still a bit shaky "Well his probably just a look like" said Piper

"He was talking to some guys... I heard his voice and his laughter, I can't be wrong." "Well did you feel anything?" Paige asked, "What kind of question is that!?" Piper said surprised by her sister's question

"I'm not asking about her feeling with Cole! I meant if she felt Cole with her empath thing!!" Paige said

"That's what confuses me, I felt a part of him, and everything else was different." Said Phoebe.

"So should we start preparing for a vanquishing potion?" Paige asked, Piper looked at Phoebe. Phoebe stood up and went to her room. Piper and Paige decided they should let Phoebe alone for a while.

The next morning......

Paige and Piper are at the kitchen drinking hot cocoa. Phoebe comes down to join them with a smile on her face.

"Hey!" Piper and Paige greets to Phoebe, happy to see their sister in a good mood. "Hey! Where's Wyatt?" Phoebe asked as she notice her nephew is nowhere in site. "I asked Chris to baby sit, it's time for the two of them to have a little bonding. So how are you this morning?"

"Well, if you are asking about what I feel with what I saw the other day... I'm fine." Phoebe said.

"So, could I just ask... where did you see him?" Paige asked out of curiosity.

"At the Airport when I was about to go out I saw him talking with some guys, I stared at him for a while to make sure I'm not seeing things, then I saw him go and check-in for departure.. .San Francisco to Los Angeles." Phoebe explained.

"So... are we going to make a vanquishing potion?" Piper asked. "No, never mind" Phoebe said "Are you sure?" Paige asked

"I am really confused but one things for sure, he is really, hhmmm... what's the right word...different. You see when I saw him I was shocked, afraid, scared and last night as I go back, when I saw him I did not feel any kind of evil."

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Paige asked "It's bad if I felt nothing which will mean he is so powerful that he can block my empathic powers. But.."

"But there's a but, why is there a but?" Piper interrupted "But I felt something in him, thinking about it, I realized what I felt was contentment, a bit of fear but sure lot of happiness. It took me a while to realize coz the fear that I felt was so strong that it topped up all the other emotions I can feel. I was so scared coz my life became a mess and now I have everything I could ever hoped for and I felt as if seeing him is saying good-bye to everything."

"Well its not, he can't control your life, plus we are always here to back you up" Paige said as she put her arms around her sister.

Phoebe smiles at her sisters, "Oh, enough about that, maybe his just a look like, who cares!"

It's been a month since the day Phoebe saw Cole...

"BOOM!!" "What the hell are the two of you doing!?" Piper asked as she entered the kitchen, "I just got Wyatt to sleep! And your going to wake him up and what the hell is that?" Piper asked confused as she saw the blue like goo in the pot which has just exploded a while ago Phoebe and Paige started laughing really hard. "This sister dear, is herbal facial cream with a bit of magic." Phoebe says as she catch her breath from laughing. "Me and Phoebe are making a little experiment, then we are going to test it and if it is effective we are gonna sell it, and of course to make it better you are going to help us in making this." Paige explained to her sister. "Okay so what part am I suppose to agree, coz I really don't see it" Piper exclaimed, Paige replied "The part where its gonna be effective," then Phoebe adds, "and we become millionaires." "Now you're talking." Piper said as they all laugh. Ding dong!! Ding dong, the doorbell rings. "I'd get it" Piper said.

As Piper opened the door she saw the man they all thought they have vanquished the same man they have been talking about a month ago.

Chapter II

Piper was startled to see him, she was about to blow him up then she saw.....

"Who is that?" Paige and Phoebe asked as they entered the room and saw Piper face to face with....

"Cole?!" Paige and Phoebe were shocked to see Cole dripping wet since it's raining outside, carrying a wounded little girl, the same reason why Piper didn't blew him up.

"I need help, please" Cole said with tears in his eyes. Phoebe felt his fear and desperation. Piper let him come in. As Phoebe was about to touch the little girl Cole was carrying, Cole stepped away. Phoebe felt that Cole did not want her to touch the child and is hiding something.

"The book of Shadows and Leo, where's Leo? I need Leo," said Cole desperately. "Chris" Piper called as Chris orbed in. Chris saw Cole he was about to say something but stopped himself, knowing that anything he says would definitely change the future. "Could you please get the book of shadows for me, thank you sweetie." They all walked into the kitchen with Cole carrying the child in his hands. "Leo!" Piper called.

Chris orbed in the kitchen with the book the same time as Leo orbed in. Chris hands Piper the book as Leo materialized and saw Cole with the child.

Seeing that the child was unconscious Leo placed his palm on top of the child and tried to heal the child. Nothing happened, Leo looked at Cole. "When was she attacked?" asked Leo, "this Friday we were at my hotel getting ready to leave" Cole answered. "What time?" Leo asked in a really serious and worried tone. "Ahh.. let me see, around 8, yea, that right, 8o'clock" Cole said accurately. "It's already 6:30, we have to heal her before 8o'clock or she's dead." Leo said. "Okay so what in the world are you guys talking about?" Paige asked.

"The demon that attacked that child is a Scad Demon" said Leo.

"Here it is, Scad Demons poisons his victims and takes their souls after three days, The Scad Demon locks the children's soul for some time and feeds on them after a few months." Piper read out loud from the book.

"How do you feed on someone's soul? And why does this demon have to wait some time? Before eating the victim?" Piper asked

"He waits until the child is not scared and have forgotten what life is, so that one's he takes the soul it would not hesitate, every thousand year this demon is getting stronger because every thousand year he has mastered and pushed to the limit the power of the child he last fed on." Leo explained.

"I'm not saying that I would want this to happen, but, isn't Wyatt the most powerful child?" said Phoebe.

"He is, but he is well protected" shifting his look to Cole "What is that suppose to mean? I have protected my baby with everything I have" Cole said with dignity.

Leo and charmed ones became confuse, "What do you mean" asked Leo in a serious tone. Before Cole could answer, Chris interrupted, "Wait a minute! Did you just say your baby?" Chris asked.

"Yes" Cole answered. Chris smiled and jumped with joy then she turned to his mother and kissed her on the forehead and hugged her really tight. "I really like the kind of affection your showing but I don't think this is the right time, we have a little girl to save." "Oh right, sorry" Chris apologizes still smiling.

"It says here to heal a victim" Paige read all the ingredients needed for the healing potion.

"All those ingredients are hard to find" Phoebe said "You should have brought her to us sooner" Piper said as she looked at Cole "Coming here was the last of my options" Cole said "So you'd rather kill your child!" Paige exclaimed "Of course not, why do you think I'm here! I tried to look for another way but there isn't that's why I'm here now" Cole said

"Hey wait there's a continuation" at the bottom Paige reads "Let the victim drink this potion the same time a White lighter heals the victim. PS: The most important ingredient of all is to add two drops of the victim's mother's blood."

"What if she doesn't have a mother? Or if they don't even know each other?" Cole asked.

"Well if the mother is dead, you could probably use the blood a family member or her closest friend in this world, but even if they don't know each other, we have what we call maternal bond, and even if it was a test tube baby... a child's life is always connected with that of their mothers" Leo explained.

Cole looked at Phoebe. Phoebe could feel that Cole is about to reveal something. And finally she blurted it out "I'm her mother" Phoebe whispered unable to believe it herself.

Chapter III

The charmed ones were shocked so Piper reacted, "But how..." before she could finish Phoebe stopped her, "Potion now, questions later" Phoebe said in a very demanding voice.

"Wait! Do you really think his telling the truth?"

Paige looked at Phoebe directly in the eye. "I don't think his telling the truth, I can FEEL his telling the truth, and I mean that LITERALLY!" Phoebe said as she approached her child and kiss her cheek, "It's gonna be fine sweetie, mommy's here."

Phoebe assigned everybody on which ingredient to find. She prepared everything on the backyard, Phoebe followed the instructions to make a ceremony before putting the ingredients, she made the ceremony while waiting for the ingredients to arrive, she also written the spell they are to use to vanquish the Scad Demon and one by one they came back and Phoebe started on the Potion, it was already 2 minutes before 8o'clock and Chris hasn't returned with the last ingredient. Phoebe being really tensed, got the knife to cut a little of her skin and got the medicine dropper to put her blood so that when Chris arrives they'll just pour it all at once.

The Scad demon appeared before Phoebe, "No your not!" Phoebe screamed and gave the demon a big kick, Phoebe experienced a real power boost, she became ultra fast, she was able to keep away from the demons attacks and kicked the Scad Demon's ass more than twice every second, she was so fast that she didn't even notice Chris has came back. 42 seconds before 8o'clock, Piper and Paige hurriedly drop the last ingredient along with Phoebes blood from the dropper, 8 seconds left, Cole carried his daughter and ran toward Paige and Piper, and just in time, they were able to save the child. As the child was healed, the Scad Demon stopped fighting, he looked at his hands turning transparent, Piper and Paige grab the piece of paper and together the three chanted the spell.... and KABOOM! The demon exploded into thin air.

"Is it time for questions yet?" Piper asked partially joking.

In the Living Room of the Manor, all of them were seated and left Phoebe's daughter play with Wyatt and they also had Chris to baby sit.

Cole started telling the story "When Phoebe got pregnant, the Cole inside me is still trying to fight the source. You were pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl, the boy was the source's heir, its his child and is just using you to bring it to life, but the girl is our child, when you drink the potion Seer gives you it only affects the source's heir. When the Seer got the child from your womb both of them were transferred, the source's heir to Seer and our child to Seer's daughter. The source's heir died, and so did everybody else in that room but the Seer's daughter got out of that place right after she got the child"

"The Seer has a daughter? That would mean she's evil too" Paige said with shock.

"Not if her father's an angel. She also has the gift of seeing the future, that was why she was there, and she knew what would happen. When the two babies from Phoebe's womb got out, the Seer's daughter caught our child and place it to her womb instead."

"Why would she do that?" Piper asked

"She hated her mother so much that she wouldn't want anyone to feel what she felt, especially someone innocent like our child."

"But how did you resurrect?" Paige asked

"The Avatars have resurrected me"

"When did you know about our baby?" Phoebe asked "A few months after my resurrection the Seer's daughter summoned me, in one of her premonitions she saw herself dying, she loved our child and she wouldn't want to leave her all alone" as Cole explains this Chris passes by whistling with a bigger smile in his face.

Leo notices him and calls him, "Chris!" Leo called, "Yes dad?" Chris said as he entered the room.

"You just called me dad" Leo said surprised and really, really happy at the same time.

"What in the world is happening to you, first you became more affectionate to me, your mother than you were before now you called Leo "Dad" would you tell us what just happened to you?"

"Huh??" Cole got confused on what he's hearing, Phoebe feeling his confusion explains, "He is Chris our new White Lighter and future nephew. Chris is from the future he came here to save Wyatt from turning evil" "So that baby in Piper's tummy right now is him," said Cole pointing at Chris. "Now your catching up" Phoebe said.

Chris answering his mother's question, "Well, in my future, Asha died when the Titans attacked, and if right now, in this time, Patricia didn't die there is a really big possibility like 99.9% chance that my beloved mom wouldn't leave me at my young age!"

"Your coming here must have been the reason that changed it, coz if you didn't come back from the future we would probably won't be able to stop the Titans that fast" Piper concluded

Paige wondered and asked "But why did the demon tried to get my niece instead of my nephew? Not that I would want that to happen it's just... well you know what I mean!!"

"Coz Wyatt is more protected" said Leo "What are you talking about, Asha is protected" Cole said "You see, we never got to finish this conversation earlier, what did you mean when you said you gave EVERYTHING you have?" Leo asked

"I gave up my powers to create a force field around my house, the only power I have is teleporting and I don't even use it... until now. No demon, warlock or witches could sense it, no magic could get in or be used inside." Cole explained.

"Were you nuts?" said Leo shocked "That gives me an idea" Piper said

"Piper, if you do that, you have to combine the power of three and loose your powers." Said Leo

"God Cole, you are nuts!" Paige joked but really half meant it.

"Cole, you just placed a protecting shield, but you can't deny your child's destiny, she is a powerful child." Leo said

"Mave – Seer's daughter told me that some of the powers of the heir of the source were somehow transferred to Asha" said Cole

"Child of a Charmed one and an ex-demon, accidentally given some of the source's heir's power, and I'd say Mave – possessing power for both good and evil must have given most or probably all her powers to your child." Leo annalyzed, "Your child is in a really great danger." Leo said as he looked at Phoebe and Cole

An Elder materializes right in the middle of the living room, as he materialized he spoke and said "Wyatt's powers are powers of good, your child's has NEUTRAL ones, she is indeed in greater danger" with this the Elder disappeared. Phoebe stood up and went upstairs while the others kept on talking.

"So what's with the name Asha? And who gave her that name?" Paige asked "I think its cute" said Piper "I did, it means Hope" Cole said "Asha Turner.. or Asha Haliwell Turner...hmmm..sounds nice huh" said Paige "Actually its Asha Elana York" Cole corrected them "Elana?? And What's with the York?" Paige said all confused "Asha means hope, Elana means light." Cole explained "Looks like someone's been reading too much dictionary of names" Piper commented "And I'm not Cole Turner anymore, I have a new life that's why I had a new name"

Upstairs...

Phoebe led Asha to her room. Phoebe and Asha talked, Phoebe listened to her daughter's stories. Asha told her that everyday her dad would leave her to the day care as he goes to work, then he gets her for lunch so they could eat together then pick her up again from the day care on the afternoon. Asha told Phoebe how she loved her dad. "What about your mom?" Phoebe asked. "I don't know her, but my dad said I look like her." "Do you know her name?" "No, coz every time I ask my dad he just says "Your mom loves you very much, and you look a lot like her" then his gonna smile and his gonna give me hot cocoa. Are we going to stay here for the night?" Asha asked. "Yeah, it's late and you have to sleep." "Will you please tell me a story?". Phoebe wrapped her arms at Asha as she tell the Tale of 3 sisters who are different in a lot of ways but loves each other very much. "Did you like it?" asked Phoebe though from what she can feel, Asha loved it.

Cole was just outside the bedroom and he over heard his daughter say "I wish my mom was here, I bet she'd really like you." With that Cole entered the room and said "Sweetheart, she is your mother."
