Disclaimer: I don't own everything, only Dan (Binxs), his parents and the other people that you don't recognize. The stuff you do recognize belongs to the WB. Also I'm gonna explain something so I don't get yelled at for it later on. I know the show already in the series there was already a Chosen One, and he sealed up an evil witch in "That old black magic" season 2, However, let me explain this to you, I had already created my Charmed Character and decide to call him the Chosen One 4 episodes after the show started, a whole season before the "That old black magic" episode. Even after I saw that episode I decided not to change the name it just didn't feel right. So if anyone has a problem with it so great that you feel you may die cause it's in this let me know if not enjoy this fic. I worked hard on it and it was my first fic I just never posted it cause I wanted to fix the grammar in the thing. I'm very proud of it and hope you all like it. Thanks and please review! (and if anyone has any other questions just write them in a review and I'll do my best to answer them in the next chapter.)
I'd also like to thank Clear Shadow and Demon for their reviews. I'm not even gonna bother thanking myself, *walks off grumbling* I still cant believe I had to do that.

Penny wasn't sure what to expect when she reached LA. She had been going over in her mind the decision she was about to make. Would she really risk a two year olds happiness to save his life? Would bringing him home with her really put him in danger? Either way Dan's life was in danger the demons that had killed his parents weren't looking for random killings, they were searching for someone specific and if Max hadn't been there, they would have easily gotten what they were looking for, her great-grandson. Penny sighed as she climbed the stone stairs and through the door of Los Angles Social Services. Following the directions given to her at the lobby desk, Penny made her way down the hall. She stopped in front of a wooden door and entered. The room was quiet. Penny looked at her watch and realized it was noon, everyone must be out to lunch, but not everyone had that pleasure. A secretary sitting at her desk filing her nails and looking extremely bored. For June Mandro the day was just dragging on and being stuck in the office instead of at lunch was just adding to her headache.
"Excuse me miss." Penny said stepping closer to the desk. "I'm here to see Mrs. Blake." June sighed and put down the file, she looked up at Penny with a sarcastic kind of look.
"Do you have an appointment?"
"Yes I called this morning and spoke to Mrs. Blake." The women sighed obviously annoyed
"Name." Penny raised an eyebrow at the woman's tone.
"Penny Halliwell." Suddenly the door swung open and a middle-aged woman with curly bright red hair rushed in.
"I am so sorry Miss Halliwell. A colleague of mine asked me at last minute to got to lunch with him." She pulled out a key from her purse. "You haven't been waiting long have you?" Penny shook her head.
"No I just arrived myself." And followed the women into the office.
"Have a seat." Mrs. Blake said, gesturing to the seat in front of the desk. She sat behind the desk and took out a file from the draw. "Now what can I do you?" Penny reached into her purse and pulled out a baby picture and a copy of a birth certificate. She looked at them for a moment, then handed them to Mrs. Blake. "Your family to the Burmens?" Penny nodded
"Pamela Burmen was my oldest granddaughter." She said ignoring the sadness pains aching in her heart. "I'm here to talk to you about Daniel."
"He's a very sweet baby." Mrs. Blake said nodding "we will all miss him so much." Penny choked back a tear.
"That's what I'm here to discuss with you. I can't take Dan right now. Pam's sisters don't even know that she is dead. I've just been trying to deal with this myself. The last words I ever spoke with Pam were out of anger." She paused holding back a tear. As memories of the last time she had seen her granddaughter flowed into her memory. "What I was hoping was that Dan could stay here for a few years. Then I would come back for him." Mrs. Blake leaned forward.
"Ms. Halliwell, this is highly irregular. And I'm not sure if this would be the best thing for Dan who is after all our main concern right now." Penny looked directly into Mrs. Blake's eyes, then they wandered to the desktop. Three pictures lay upon the desk, twin boys and a little girl.
"Do you have children, Mrs. Blake?" she smiled
"Yes, Byron and Brad are 11 and Kelli is 3."
"They look like very sweet children." Penny said
"They are. I don't know what I would do if something happened to them."
"You would do whatever you had to do to protect them correct?" Mrs. Blake nodded. "Dan is in danger, his parents were not victims of a drive by as the police have indicated. It was a planned attack the, the murderers were targeting not Max" a single tear escaped "or Pam. The monsters, Mrs. Blake, that killed my granddaughter are not going to stop until they have Dan." Mrs. Blake went deathly pale as she struggled to find the precise words to say.
"You are saying." She started "that you know the killers?" Penny shook her head
"No I've heard of them." Dan is a special child and if he comes with me now while he's still young and vulnerable, his life will be in immanent danger. That is something I cannot risk. I've already lost my granddaughter; I'm not about to lose my only great grandson as well. If this is the only way Dan may stay unknown and safe then that's the way it must be." more tears escaped and Penny did not even try to stop them anymore. Mrs. Blake reached over her desk and put her hand on Penny's.
"Well, the thing is this is as I have said highly irregular. Now normally in situations like this, if there is no one to take the child, he automatically becomes warranted to the state and therefore can be adopted." Penny stiffened with fear for a moment. "However I may be able to work around the system to accommodate this proposition." Mrs. Blake looked at her paperwork then looking at her computer she typed. "Ms. Halliwell are you sure that you will take Dan?"
"As soon as possible, a year the maximum would be 6 years. I know that seems like a long time." Mrs. Blake nodded "but I give my word that I will come back for him."
"It is not that I don't trust you'll keep your word Ms. Halliwell, but I-"
"I understand your position Mrs. Blake and I would feel the same way if I was in your shoes.
"I must inform you Ms. Halliwell. I can keep Dan under your custody while his residence be at the Los Angles Children's Home. However when he reaches his 13th birthday I cannot stop the system from stepping in and changing Dan over to the state of California. Remaining there until he is either adopted or reaches 18. I'm sorry but after he reaches 13. I cannot control what the state can do." Penny nodded
"I'll be back for him long before that I promise." Mrs. Blake smiled
"Would you like to meet him?" Penny smiled her first smile in days.
"Of course I would."
