Piper sat at the kitchen table with Phoebe. She glanced at the clock that
was on a nearby wall. "Where the hell is Leo? He should be back from the
elders by now." She said. Phoebe shook her head. "Maybe something is
holding him up. Like maybe one of his charges called him and then he had to
go help." She said laying her head on the table.
"Do you think Cole's telling the truth? I mean, Cole's son???" she whispered. Piper shrugged. "I never knew Cole had a son...who do you think he had the son with?" Phoebe took a sip from her coffee mug. "Well, according to his phone call, he said he never had a son. He was just as surprised as I was.. you don't think..." She started but then they heard a loud bang in their living room.
"HELP!!! PLEASE JUST HELP!!!" a boy's voice called. Phoebe glanced at Piper and the both ran to the living room to see who it was. There, Piper saw the boy that was in the attic and the girl in another man's arms, with an athame in her stomach. There was another girl too, who looked a lot like Paige. Phoebe and Piper ran over to them.
"Hey, it's you!" Piper screamed. Alex saw Piper and he ran to her. He had tears in his eyes. "Please, call dad and tell him to heal my sister!!" he screamed. Piper put her arms on his shoulders. "Who's your dad. And what happened to your sister?" she asked calmly. The man found the couch and laid Sam on it and kneeled by her side, comforting her. Rachel and Phoebe went to see how she was.
Alex didn't have time for questions. His sister was going to die if he didn't get Leo. "I mean LEO!!! CALL LEO!! MY SISTER GOT STABBED BY A WARLOCK!!! I NEED HIM!!" he screamed pacing back and forth. Piper nodded. "LEO??? LEO!!!!!" she called, but there was no answer. "She's getting worse.." Phoebe called to Piper.
Piper went to see how the girl was doing. Her blood was spreading all over the couch. Alex went to kneel next to her and held her hand. "Alex...." she whispered. Alex broke into tears and so did CJ and Rachel. "Dad isn't coming..." she whispered again, her voice getting softer and softer. Alex stroked her hair. "Sam, it's gonna be ok..."
Sam had tears too. Phoebe did all that she could do to stop the bleeding. "I'm gonna have to take this athame out..." She said, while getting ready to pull the dagger out of Sam's body. Alex slapped her hand away. "DON'T HURT MY SISTER!!!" he screamed. Sam looked to Alex. "Let her do it..." She whispered.
Alex nodded and stood aside. Phoebe put wrapped her hand around the dagger handle. "This might hurt, just sit tight ok?" she whispered to Sam. Sam tried to nod but could barely move her head. Phoebe quickly pulled the dagger out and Sam gave a small gasp. Phoebe took the dagger and put it on the table. Piper quickly grabbed a nearby towel and pressed it on Sam's wound. Alex just stood there, staring at his sister. CJ and Rachel were just waiting.
"LEO!!!" Piper called but Leo wouldn't come. Piper stood over Sam and held the towel on her wound. Sam looked at Piper and smiled. "Mom...I get to see you.." she whispered. Piper's eyes were wide. "What?" she asked. She turned to Alex and Alex nodded. "We're from the future." He whispered, choking on every word he said for he couldn't stop crying.
Piper stood there silent. "Mom...I love you..Alex.." She whispered and closed her eyes. Alex screamed. "NO!!! Sam, don't you freaking die on me, you're all I have left..." He screamed. Piper was still in shock. She stared at Alex and then at Sam. Rachel gasped and hugged CJ.
Sam stopped breathing. Piper brushed her hair aside so that it was out her face. "My daughter?" she said, and then she silently cried. Alex cried and dug his head into her shoulder. "No...no." he silently whispered. Suddenly, Piper's hands started to glow. "What the heck?"
Piper's hands then were over Sam's wounds and the blood from her shirt and from the couch started disappearing. Piper stared in shock by the healing she was doing. Alex sat up and saw what was happening. Sam's face started to brighten up. Then when the healing was done she opened her eyes. "Huh?" she whispered as she sat up. Alex smiled. "SAM!!" he screamed as he hugged her.
Piper stared at her hands and glanced at Phoebe. "I don't have healing powers..." She whispered to her. Sam stared at Piper. "It was me...I mean me inside you..." she said. Piper looked at her stomach. "Whoa." Rachel and CJ ran to Sam and the four had a big hug together. Alex punched her. "You freak. You almost left me..." He whispered. Sam smiled. " I think I have to get myself a gift sometime..."
Piper walked backwards to stand with Phoebe. "WAIT A MINUTE!!!" she screamed. The four turned around and faced the 2/3 of the all powerful charmed ones. "Who are you people?" Piper asked. Phoebe nodded along with her, she wanted an explanation. CJ sighed. "We're from the future." He whispered. "We're your future kids. And you're in great danger."

Piper's eyes were wide open staring at Alex and Sam. "You're my?" she asked. Sam and Alex nodded. "And I'm your??" she continued. Sam and Alex nodded again. "Oh my god..I'm getting a migraine." She said while rubbing her head. Alex smiled but Sam stayed silent. "Do you have any proof??" she asked.
Alex nodded. "Show her the locket Sam..." He said nudging her with his elbow. Sam sighed and took out her locket from inside her shirt. She opened it and stared at the picture for a second and started to cry a little bit. Piper looked at her and saw her tears. Sam took the necklace from her neck, and gave it to Piper.
Piper slowly opened the locket and was shocked by what she saw. There, in the heart shaped tiny picture, was her and Leo with two little kids. They were all smiling, having fun. A 3-year old Alex was on Leo's back, on a piggyback ride. And there was Piper, with an 11-year old Sam on her back. Sam was hugging her mother's neck and Alex was hugging his dad's.
Piper stared at the picture, her mouth wide open. "It's hard to believe isn't it. We all look so happy. Like, a perfect family. And we were. Until you, Aunt Phoebe and Aunt Paige left us for the night with a baby sitter. It was dark, Alex and Rachel were asleep in their cribs. CJ and I shared a bed, waiting anxiously for our mothers to come back. I was the only one worried because I was 13, and I knew that there was a big chance that you couldn't come back. Every day I worried the same thing."
Piper just listened to the story. Alex has heard it before and he didn't want to listen. He turned away to look at something else. Sam continued. "CJ didn't understand that much. He was only 9. All he wanted was his mom. And I wanted you. I wanted my mom to come home and cuddle me in my arms so I could go to sleep. But you weren't home yet. The next day was my graduation to high school, and you said that you would take me somewhere special. Only the two of us, just us girls. You were my best friend...."
Sam started to cry. Alex handed her a tissue. Piper looked down at her feet. Sam continued with sniffles. "Then, dad came home, but you didn't. And so didn't Aunt Paige or Aunt Phoebe. That's when I knew, you were never coming back. No more special place, no more nothing. Alex didn't know. He didn't understand.."
Piper sighed. "I died...and you were left with Leo and Cole?" she asked. Sam shook her head. "Uncle Cole died before CJ was born, while Aunt Phoebe was pregnant. CJ never got to see him. Aunt Phoebe was devastated when it happened. Dad took care of the four of us, until 6 years later; Dad got shot with an arrow of a darklighter. While I wasn't home, and I had the only power to heal. By the time I got home from school, he was gone." Sam whispered. "Excuse me, I have to go..." She whispered as she ran out the door.
Alex sighed and looked at Piper. "Mom, you understand that she's had it bad." He said. Piper nodded and sat next to Alex and hugged him. Alex smiled. "Sam was devastated after you died. It's like her heart melted away. She didn't make any friends in high school, but she got straight A's and graduated valedictorian from high school, but she never smiled once throughout the whole ceremony. She started drinking and crap afterwards. And then, finally when dad died, she was the only one of age to take care of us so we wouldn't get stuck in a foster home. She had to drop out of college and get two jobs. We were lucky that P3 was running and was getting us a lot of money. She worked even harder just to get CJ in college."
"Wow...."
"She never got over your death mom. She loved you a lot. She took care of us when Dad died, so she never got to finish college. And she's even gonna pay for me so I can go to art college. She's a really good person...." he whispered. Piper got up and held her locket in her hand. "I think I have to talk to her." She said and walked out of the door.
****
Phoebe hugged her son tightly and CJ hugged back. "I love you mom." He whispered. Phoebe nodded and hugged him even more tightly. "So, you're my son? And I marry Cole??" she asked letting go. CJ nodded. "If I get my stories right, Dad saved your life one time, that cost him his powers. That's when you knew that you really loved him. So you married him and you got pregnant with me."
Phoebe smiled but the CJ continued. "A bounty hunter learned that Dad had no powers left. So he went into battle with him. You, Aunt Piper and Aunt Paige tried to save him. You killed the demon, but it was too late. Dad was already dead. You were about 5 months with me.. and I never got to see him." He muttered. Phoebe gasped and put her hand over her mouth.
"Cole dies? For me?" she said quietly. CJ nodded. "And you never got to see him?" she whispered. CJ cries and shakes his head. Phoebe sighed. "Do you want me to call Cole over?" she asked him. CJ shook his head. "No, I tried to kill him, well he tried to kill me... I mean. Just, no." he whispered.
"Why did he try to kill you and why did you try to kill him?" she asked. CJ shrugged. "Uncle Leo transported me to his office and I woke up there. He thought I was a demon. Then when I mentioned that I had to get to you he almost choked me to death because he though I was going hurt you. Then, my anger got out of control and I kicked him real hard and almost killed him with a fireball." CJ whispered.
"Your anger?"
CJ nodded. "I'm half demon and half witch or warlock or something. Sometimes, if I get angry my power grows and I can't control myself. My demon side takes over. And I can't stop." He said. Phoebe smiled at him. "You're so handsome." She said as she ran her hand through his hair.
CJ smiled and got reminded of all the memories his mom and him had together. He sighed and wished this moment could last forever. Just then, Cole burst through the back door. "Phoebe I..." He started until he saw CJ. "You.. Phoebe is he trying to hurt you?" he asked with a dark voice.
CJ's fear rose again and he got up from his chair and moved away. Phoebe stopped Cole. "Wait no...Cole." she whispered but Cole wouldn't listen. "You..your..." he said but words couldn't come out. "You almost killed me! Phoebe, you should go to another room and I'll take care of this demon." He said while an blue energy ball formed in his hand.
"NO COLE!!!" Phoebe tried to say but Cole had pushed her aside already and Cole threw the energy ball at CJ. CJ tried to block it but it hit him in the chest and he flew all the way to the other side of the room and crashed through the window. Phoebe realized what happened and ran to get CJ. "CJ!!!! COLE YOU BASTARD!!! HE'S OUR SON!!!" she screamed as she jumped through the window and got CJ.
CJ was bleeding from the ear and from his nose. Phoebe helped him up. CJ shook his head but his eyes had an evil glare in them. Phoebe realized that his anger was taking over him. CJ flew through the window and went at Cole. He started kicking him and putting karate moves on him. CJ was totally hypnotized. "NO!!! CJ!! COLE!!!" Phoebe screamed at her two boys.
But CJ couldn't stop and so couldn't Cole. They were in the kitchen fighting till death. Cole blew an energy ball at CJ but CJ blocked it. Then CJ kicked Cole in the face and Cole fell to the ground. Then CJ's hands started generating with electricity. He grabbed Cole by the neck and pinned him to the wall. The electricity was flowing from CJ's hands to Cole's neck. Cole screamed. "AHHHHH!"
Rachel then ran into the kitchen. "CJ!!!" she screamed. "STOP!!!" CJ let go of Cole and turned around to see Rachel. Suddenly, CJ's eyes softened and he shook his head. "What the hell?" he said and then he turned around to see his father rubbing his neck. "Oh god..." he said.
Phoebe ran to CJ. "COLE! GOD YOU CAN'T LISTEN!!!" she screamed at him while she wiped all the blood from CJ's face. Cole was breathing heavily. "I thought he was hurting you." Phoebe shook her head. "Well, you were the one hurting me Cole. When you hurt him, then you're hurting me." She whispered.
"This is CJ, he's from the future to warn us about a warlock that's out to kill us. And he's really our son." She screamed at him. Rachel took a towel and pressed it against CJ's nose so that it would stop bleeding. CJ looked away. "I'm sorry...I shouldn't be here." He whispered as he shimmered out of the kitchen.
Rachel looked at Phoebe. "It's ok Aunt Phoebe, I got it. Just stay here and, deal with your husband..." she said as she orbed out of the kitchen. Cole looked away from Phoebe's glare. "We're going to have a long talk. All three of us when he gets back." Phoebe whispered as she walked out of the kitchen.
Cole nodded and sat at the broken kitchen table to wait.
A/N: I know I didn't make Piper with a lot of emotions when Sam talked about the future, but don't worry, more emotion in the next chapters
