Chapter IV

"Hahaha, yeah right" Asha laughed thinking it was some kind of joke. Asha looked at her father and seeing him that serious for the very first time... she looked at Phoebe in the eye, Phoebe's eyes were teary. Phoebe could feel Asha's confusion and shock. Not knowing what to say, "I want to go to sleep now" said Asha as she tucked herself and fall asleep. Phoebe wanted to cry, so she went outside the room passing Cole and to the corridor. Cole followed her.

"Do you think she'll accept me?" asked Phoebe not sure if she would even want to here the answer.

"There is no reason she won't, I raised her to believing her mother is dead, she's just confused" Cole said

"What if she doesn't want me?" asked Phoebe "Asha has been longing for a mother, I have told her how much her mom loves her so there is definitely no reason for her to reject you." Cole explained

Chapter V

The next morning.....

Leo came to the manor to talk to Cole, the two of them left early that morning. While Phoebe enters her room and sit in her bed to look at her daughter. Piper and Paige knocked on the open door of the room.

"Hey" said Piper as she and Paige enter the room. "Did you even sleep at all?" Piper asked "No she didn't" Paige said knowing it since Phoebe slept with her in her room that night. "I'm scared and shocked and confused. Just overnight I learn that I have a daughter! and I don't know how to be a mom" said Phoebe "To what I can remember I use to worry about those things, but you guys and Leo kept saying I can do it. And that's what I'm going to say to you now. You need not to worry, being a mother comes in naturally." Said Piper "Yea, well its easier to say than done." "Hehe... now you see my point" Piper joked Phoebe shifted her head from them to Asha. "This family is full of surprises" Paige commented with emotionless tone "So you guys wanna help me prepare breakfast?" asked Piper as she leave the room with Paige and Phoebe following her.

In the kitchen... "Do you think she likes eggs?" Phoebe asked "Kids loves eggs" said Piper "You see, I don't know anything" said Phoebe feeling a little upset "How am I suppose to be a good mother?" "Hey, you've just saved your daughter's life yesterday!" Paige said showing Phoebe she could do it. As Phoebe finished frying the eggs, Asha woke up, she hurriedly went downstairs looking for her dad. "Hey Asha, good morning" Paige greeted spotting Asha by the kitchen door. "He's talking to you uncle Leo" said Piper "Wow... I thought I was dreaming last night" said Asha. Phoebe not knowing what to say.. "Um, do you like eggs?" asked Phoebe as she offered the plate to Asha. Paige signalled to Piper so that they could leave Phoebe and her daughter alone. Asha wasn't as talkative as she was last night. She sat down quietly eating; Phoebe could feel that Asha is still uncomfortable. "So.." Phoebe and Asha said in unison. "You go ahead" Phoebe insisted "Why did it take long before you showed up?" Asha asked without looking at Phoebe, Phoebe could feel her daughter's feeling, which is the same with what she feels right now... nervous....very nervous. "Well, I uh" Phoebe doesn't know what to say. She wouldn't want her daughter to be mad at her or for Asha to think her dad lied to her. "I thought your dead. Why did my dad lie?" Finally knowing what to say, "No sweetie, he didn't lie, it's just that, he didn't know I'm still alive." Said Phoebe with a concluding tone.

Chapter VI

In the living room....

Piper and Paige are sitting in the couch drinking coffee when Chris orbs in... "Hey where's unc - - I mean Cole?" "His talking to your dad, SOMEWHERE" said Piper "So Chris, Asha died in your time right?" Paige asked trying to clarify things "Yea, when the Titans attacked, and now she's not that means.. Everything's changed.. Everything's changed yeah yeah " unconsciously Chris began putting a melody on it – a sign of just how happy he is. Piper smiled and laughed a little, Paige couldn't help it so she burst into laughter. "What!?" asked Chris finally noticing his aunts uncontrollable laughter.

"Is it that bad to be happy? My future sucks, it is like hell, and now seeing what's happening this only means my future will change and as I've said my future couldn't get worst so nothing's left but for it to be better!" Chris reasoned out

Paige to Piper "Then maybe he won't grow up that neurotic either" she turned her eyes to Chris. Piper hears Wyatt cry... "Chris go to your brother" "Why me?" Chris asked "Coz I said so" said Piper "May I remind you that I'm suppose to be the younger one" "Supposedly you are, but not in this time sweetie, coz right now your 22, so go" "Don't you feel stressed?" Paige asked to her 8 months pregnant sister "Well, I've had enough rest when I was staying in the magic school." Piper said

Back to the kitchen...

"What time will we go home?" asked Asha "I don't know" said Phoebe upset, she could feel Asha's uncomfortable to be sitting next to her. "Can I play with Wyatt?" Asha asked trying to escape from Phoebe. "Sure, his upstairs" said Phoebe

Asha went out the kitchen and upstairs to play with Wyatt, she found Chris with Wyatt. "Hi!" Asha greeted Chris softly "Hey, Asha, here to play with Wyatt?" Asha nodded.

In the living room....

Phoebe enters the room. She found Paige and Piper talking about Chris. "So how did it go?" asked Piper "She's uncomfortable, still shocked and, I don't know, she's just not comfortable me being around her." Said Phoebe "Give it some time Pheebs, the first time I learned about you guys being my sisters, well..." Paige said knowing her sisters see her point. "Who's taking care of Wyatt? Asha wanted to play with him" Phoebe asked "Chris" Piper and Paige said in unison "Again? I swear that kid is getting weirder, first he starts being jolly now he is fond of taking care of his brother?" said Phoebe "Actually Piper's got a master plan" said Paige Phoebe looked at Piper "Well, I just noticed that Chris is very distant and cold to his father and to Wyatt. I figured it is time for them to have a little bonding time" Piper explained "But Wyatt's a baby, and knowing Chris he is not into baby's he would not find it cute but rather irritating" said Phoebe "Yes Wyatt's a baby, that's the whole point. All his life Chris knew Wyatt from being evil now let him see the cute and innocent side of his brother" said Piper giving emphasis to the word innocent.

Chapter VII

Leo orbs in with Cole in the living room

Cole and Leo sat down as Leo told the charmed ones "We have been talking on how to protect Asha." "And??" said Piper waiting for the continuation "If we let the force field around the house stay, Asha would not be aware of her powers and if she goes outside where there are no force fields to protect her... she would be helpless." Said Leo "But I thought you said no one could sense them?" Piper asked Leo replied "But now that the Scad demon has attacked" "The whole underworld will know about it. Every time the Scad demon rises from his nest the whole underworld watches his moves and tries to see who the victim is. By now they would know the existence of Asha" Cole continued.

"But if we remove the force field, no one could protect her since Cole has no powers anymore. Except the one used to teleport... and you can't just teleport every time a demon shows up" said Paige

Phoebe not wanting to hear about it anymore... stood up, "Where are you going?" asked Leo. "Upstairs, last night I just learned about me having a daughter, minutes earlier my daughter is very uncomfortable with me around and now we are talking about the safety of my child which seems to be not possible!" with that Phoebe took off.

"Let's give her a break" said Paige with a concerned voice

Upstairs...

Phoebe peeped into Piper's room where Chris is seated in the bed where Asha and Wyatt are playing.

As Phoebe turned to leave Asha saw her and said "Mom, are coming home with me and dad?" Phoebe froze when she heard those words.

"Did you just called me mom?" Phoebe said not being able to believe it and tears fell from her eyes.

Asha ran towards Phoebe and hugged her. Phoebe hugged Asha tighter "I love you so much" "I love you too mom."
