"So, where is he?" Phoebe asked as Paige finished her story. "Right here." Paige answered as orbs filled the room and formed into Michael. "Hi." he said.
A/N: It's morning at Halliwell Manor, in Elderland time goes by very quickly.
Chapter 5: Meetings and Powers
"Nice choice Paige!" Phoebe muttered. "Phoebe!" Piper
scolded. Paige turned as red as a tomato and dropped her gaze
towards the floor. "So, Michael," she said throughly
embarrassed, "would you like to meet you daughter?" Tears
brimming in his eyes, Michael nodded and followed Paige out of
the kitchen. "Ok, she does not know that we are her parents."
Paige quietly muttered. A look of worry crossed Michael's face
but was soon replaced with looks of determination and love.
"Piper and Phoebe already told her about magic. All we have to
do is complete the puzzle." Paige nodded and led Michael to
the living room were Caitlin was watching cartoons with Wyatt.
"Morning Caitlin." Paige greeted. Wyatt looked up from the TV
and looked at the new stranger that Aunt Paige had brought
home. He seemed nice enough, so Wyatt orbed into his arms
and smiled. "Well hello there." Michael said, "You must be
Wyatt." Wyatt laughed up at the man. "I'm Michael." "Err,
Paige what's all this about?" Caitlin asked as she found her
voice. "Well," Paige began, "it's like this Caitlin. We, Michael
and I, are your parents." That awkward silence filled the room
again. Wyatt felt the tension and as soon as he heard his
mother's call, orbed out.
"Wait, what?" Caitlin whispered. "That's not possible." "But
it is sweetie." Michael said. "Remember how Piper and Phoebe
told you about magic?" Caitlin nodded. "Well, Paige has
powers and so do I. Mine are different because I am a
whitelighter. But you should have powers too. But they are
bound of course." "Powers, bound?" Caitlin asked completely
confused. Paige sighed and gathered the young girl into a hug.
She didn't need Phoebe's power of empathy to tell her that
Caitlin was confused beyond belief. "Ummm...I'd like to
know...how are you my parents and why haven't I been able to
see you?" Paige and Michael looked at each other and told
Caitlin the story regarding her birth. Emotions clouded her face
at the end. Caitlin was hurt, confused, angry, happy and hopeful
all at the same time. She was ready to take on the Elders and
win. They separated her from her parents, caring and loving
people. However, the happiness she felt was close to
overflowing. She had finally met her parents! "Caitlin," Paige
asked, "are you disappointed or angry at us?" She felt that she
had to question her daughter about how she was dealing with
this situation. Caitlin shook her head and said "How could I be?
Those Elders did this. I'm just so happy, I've finally found you."
With that, she leapt into her parents' waiting arms.
Above them, a blue light began to shine. White orbs
surrounded Caitlin and finally took rest inside of her. Michael
smiled at his daughter. "Those are your powers." "But I don't
know what they are, or how to control them." Caitlin said
fearfully. "Don't worry sweetie." Paige soothed. "We can easily
figure out what they are." Caitlin looked at her mother with a
quizzical look. "Well, you are a Halliwell." Paige said. "So,
you'll have to have powers based from our line. I can only think
of two that you would directly have. Molecular inhibition and/or
combustion and telekinetic-orbing." "What's that?" Caitlin
asked. "Well, see this vase?" Michael asked. Caitlin nodded.
"Flick your hands at it." Caitlin looked reluctantly at her father
but did as she was told. The vase immediately burst into a
million pieces. Caitlin threw up her hands in an effort to protect
herself and the pieces froze in mid-air. "Wow." she whispered.
"Well done." Paige and Michael applauded. "Now," Paige said.
"Hold your hands out and say 'pieces, basket!'". Again Caitlin
nodded and, to her surprise, the pieces were engulfed in tiny
orbs and landed into the garbage. She stood staring at the
garbage as Michael and Paige hugged her. "Now," Michael
said, "I believe that you should have whitelighter powers also."
To no one's surprise, but Caitlin's, she orbed across the room
and glamoured her appearance into Piper's.
Suddenly, a warlock blinked in. "Aha! A Charmed One!" he
exclaimed as he advanced onto Caitlin. "Get away!" she
screamed as she turned back into herself. The warlock stopped,
regarded her with a look of confusion, but continued to walk
towards her. "Hey!" Paige and Michael yelled, "Leave her
alone!" The warlock smirked, waved his hands, and chained the
two parents with anti-magic handcuffs. Caitlin looked up
fearfully at the warlock. She didn't know what to do. Her
parents' were chained. Suddenly, a thought came over her and
she quickly raised her hands and blew the warlock up. Paige
and Michael fell to the floor in a heap. They quickly stood up
and ran towards their daughter. Paige grabbed Caitlin and
squeezed her. "Ah, Mom. Air is becoming an issue." Paige let
her go and regarded her. "Mom?" she quietly asked. "Mom."
Caitlin replied. "And Dad." she said, smiling up at Michael.
