Okay so I'm really sorry about the wait but see school is taking up a lot of my time! This week I've got final exams so don't expect anything after this until at least next weekend, but hey, I'll have plenty of time in the summer! Thanks for the reviews and please keep em coming! Oh and Tom's name... I just pressed a key on the keyboard and it turned out to be a W so I have to make one up for this time :'( ! PLEASE EMAIL ME A BETTER TITLE FOR THIS! Okay chapter... what is this 7? Chapter 7:

"Mel, get up! You can't die Mel!" yelled Tom as he shook her violently. They were the only ones at the Manor because, reluctantly, Piper and Leo had to go back to the hospital since they had left without a trace (or their son). They did, however, say they would make the doctor give Piper and Chris early release so Paige and Phoebe had to go buy a new bassinet. "Will..." Mel complained weakly, using his real name. "That hurts..." she moved her head motioning to her back very slowly. "Sorry... Mel, you're like my sister, I love you and I don't wanna lose you!" he said softly brushing a strand of hair out of her face. "If you love me then you'll let me sleep." she smiled closing her eyes. He shook is head and continued looking at her. "Just don't leave me..." he whispered.

"Hurry Leo!" Piper said as Leo backed out of his parking space in the hospital parking lot. Piper was holding baby Chris in her arms and Wyatt was sitting in a car seat in the back but her attention wasn't focused on them at the moment. 'What if she dies before I get there, what if I lose her?' she wondered. She didn't know Melinda but she did know that she was the little girl she had wanted the little girl she didn't get when she got Wyatt. She knew it wasn't possible but somewhere deep down something was telling her that this was the same little girl she'd met in the future. That her soul had waited to be brought into their family. That little girl whom she had instantly fallen in love with and evens through her two sons' births still loved. Leo went way over the speed limit, he knew Piper was scared about not being there when Mel died. He didn't know about the little girl from the future but what you could call fatherly instinct told him that he already loved her even though he didn't know her and he had to save her. After what seemed like forever, they arrived. Piper rushed in with Chris and Leo with Wyatt to find Tom sitting on the couch by Mel, uncomfortably, but asleep and Mel lying peacefully. "She doesn't look like someone who's got a stab wound in her back..." Leo whispered to Piper looking admiringly at Mel as she slept. Piper looked about the same at her. "She won't be for long," she said. Then Paige came downstairs. "Good, you two are here, I'll take baby Chris," she said taking Chris from Piper and taking Wyatt's hand as Leo put him down, "Phoebe and I are still putting together his bassinet so I'll take him and Wyatt upstairs with us while you to work on curing Mel." "So she's not dead?" Piper asked as Paige went upstairs. "Not yet... And I don't worry, she won't die until she tells us about her and him..." Paige joked watching Mel move her head onto Toms' lap, subconsciously. Piper smiled, 'I wonder if Wyatt finds someone like Chris and Mel (maybe) did...' she thought. Leo frowned and gently walked over picking Mel up. "To young..." he shook his head. And walked upstairs with her, making sure not to touch the wound. Piper and Paige glanced at each other and then ran upstairs leaving Tom alone, still asleep.

"Leo... I can see she's gonna have problems with us," Piper joked. "She's what... thirteen? She's not allowed to date until she's married." He laughed as he laid Mel on the attic couch. "Yeah... You two be parents while I go check on Phoebe and see how she's doing with the bassinet." She said walking away with Chris. "Why hasn't she died yet?" Piper asked confused. "Not that I want her too!" she added quickly. "Whoever put this on her must want her to suffer... Phoebe!" Leo yelled. After a few minutes Phoebe came upstairs. "Yes?" she asked. "Read her." Piper commanded. Phoebe looked at her and concentrated and then whistled. "Girls obviously got issues..." she whispered. "Issues, issues like what?" Leo asked concerned. "Since she's in a subconscious state of mind her emotions are 'free'." She explained. "Cut to the chase Phoebe, what issues?" Piper asked. "Um I since a lotta love, a lotta anger, and hurt, painful not emotional, hurt..." Phoebe finished sadly. "You're right Leo, he wants her to suffer..." Piper said sadly. "But for how long before he finishes her?" Leo asked. "She's gonna survive..." Tom said walking in. "I promised her I would save her and I will." He walked over to the Book. Piper and Leo exchanged glances and then walked over with him while Phoebe heard Paige call her and went downstairs.

"Do you think we should be worrying about them now? I mean our niece is almost dead..." Phoebe said. "I know but in 22 years we'll have another chance at this and we can do much better..." Paige whispered sadly. "Paige! She's still our niece and she needs us now..." Phoebe asked, confused that she wasn't more concerned. "Look I got attached to Chris and I was okay that he left because we got our little Chris... but we aren't gonna have Mel for 10 years so I just don't wanna get attached okay..." she said slowly. "Paige, come on..." Phoebe smiled. "Fine... I don't have an excuse anymore since the bassinets done and both boys are asleep..." Paige said getting up and walking with Phoebe to the attic.

"Okay so nothing there that can help us," Piper said sadly as she stepped back from the Book. Leo saw her and hugged her. "Don't worry, I told you I promised." Tom said gently as he closed the Book and went downstairs. Piper and Leo looked at each other confused again but then Paige and Phoebe walked in. "Where's he goin?" Phoebe asked. "To save her," Leo said surly.
