"Okay, how? You just vanquished him... Didn't you?" asked Paige.
Mel looked worried. 'How...? Unless...'
"Someone's must help him out ..." she muttered.
"Yeah, okay, well we can solve this. Were was the sword?" asked Phoebe.
"On the dresser." Mel responded as Phoebe walked over to the dresser and put the sword in her pocket but you could tell it was there.
"Phoebe... You can't go anywhere like that you know..." Paige said. "Mel, can't you do that thing with the sword disappearing? You know, what you did earlier."
"Yeah, good idea..." said Mel as she looked at Phoebe's pants pocket. "Sword!" she called as it orbed into her hand and then she blinked and it and the future one(that she'd been holding) disappear.
"Okay now we've got to get to the hospital." said Phoebe sounding excited at the arrival of the new baby.
About thirty minutes later they arrived at the hospital.
"Traffic's crazy today..." said Paige as they sat in the waiting room.
"Listen, Mel, not to be mean or anything, but when Chris is born why don't you..." started Phoebe but didn't finish hoping Mel got it.
"Yeah sure, I mean, M..Piper," she corrected herself before either Paige or Phoebe caught the M ,"doesn't even know about me, you guys need to tell her though..."
"Of course." Paige smiled at her. She smiled back and then Paige remembered what she bypassed earlier. The girl did the same thing as Piper and Leo. She had noticed last year(for some odd reason) that neither Piper nor Leo 'show teeth' when they smile. Paige was thinking about asking Mel if she wasn't just Chris's friend, but his sister, when a nurse came to see them and the thought quickley popped out of her head.
"The Halliwell's I presume?" she asked.
"Yes, has the baby been born?" asked Phoebe standing up.
"Yes, you can go in now." the nurse said and then walked away.
"Okay Mel, stay here." commanded Paige as she and Phoebe walked to Piper's room.
"That was a close one..." Mel whispered to herself. She had been reading Paige's and Phoebe's mind since she got there. Especially Paige, since Mel knew she would find out. She was a person who found everything out! She had read their minds with telepathy, she usually only channeled powers with that because it was a huge invasion of privacy but in this case had to be done, and then she was using another power which she didn't tell her aunts about. It was another power she got out of The Book before she left. The power to redirect thoughts. The first time Paige almost found out she redirected her trial of thought to the showdown she and Chris were having at the moment and then that time she made redirected the nurse's thoughts to 'telling the Halliwells to come in'. She wasn't completley sure that Paige still wouldn't ask her so Mel directed all her thoughts to the new baby.
"Hey Pipe..." Phoebe said as she and Paige walked into the room.
"Hi Pheebs, Paige..." Piper said. "You already know Chris." she smiled.
"He's so little..." Paige said looking at him and remembering big Chris.
"I take it older Chris... left?" asked Piper. She was sort of sad at big Chris leaving but she still had him, so she wasn't heart broken.
"Yeah, and now we have a new visitor..." Phoebe said.
"New vistor?" asked Piper kind of confused.
"Mel." Paige responded. "She's a friend of Chris's from the future, a 12-year-old witch. She's going to be staying with us for about a year. She has some kind of...mission, I think, fix whatever Chris screwed up." that reminded Paige that she never actually did find out Mel's reason for coming. She was thinking about asking later but realized that it might give away to much of the future.
'Like if we I knew for a fact she was their daughter...' Paige thought realizing she couldn't ask her that with another ten years before she's born.
"Well, I guess, that's okay..." Piper said. Piper knew that the fact that she was 12 made things a little more diffucult since she would have to eat and stuff... but unlike Chris, this girl couldn't help.
'What am I suppose to do though... Kick a 12 year old girl who comes back to help us out on the street... Well in this case, back to the future...' Piper thought laughing a little.
"Great, you want to meet her? I bet she'll get a kick out of seeing Chris like this." Phoebe thought grinning.
"Yeah, sure." Piper laughed.
"I'll get her." Paige said as she walked to the waiting room were Mel was. When she got there she looked around confused as she saw Mel talking to some boy and everything else in the room... frozen.
Mel looked worried. 'How...? Unless...'
"Someone's must help him out ..." she muttered.
