Replies- Mysterious Midnight: I'm glad you liked the chapter. Hopefully you'll like this one too. Angel of Charmed: I'm afraid to say either Melinda or the baby isn't gonna survive, you'll find out in this chapter.
This is seven months after the last chapter.
To Lose One is to Gain Another:
Melinda threw out her hands, blowing the Harpy into nothing,
"I'm so glad she's…..ahh," Melinda started to speak but screamed out,
"are you okay?" Colyssa asked in concern,
"no, I think that was a contraction," Melinda replied, she looked down to the floor to see a puddle, "and my waters have broke." Colyssa took her cousin's arm and shimmered them back to the manor,
"Melinda's waters broke, she's having the baby," she said to Piper and Leo,
"mom, dad, I need Beau," the eldest cousin said, Leo nodded and orbed out to find his daughter's boyfriend,
"okay sweetie, lets get you to the hospital," Piper said, she grabbed her coat and Colyssa shimmered them to the hospital.
An hour later, the doctor stepped into the waiting room, Beau shot up when he saw him,
"is she okay? has she had the baby?" he asked in a worried tone,
"there are some complications, and we fear that…there's no good way to say this, but we fear that not both of them will survive the birth," the doctor explained, Beau didn't no what to say, he ran over to Melinda's room and tried to open the doors, but his anger and pain had tapped into his powers and he turned them to gold. Paige looked down the corridor to see Glenn talking to a hooded woman, then suddenly the woman disappeared in red mist,
"Avenki," the youngest charmed one whispered, "what is he up to?" she was begining to doubt her high school sweetheart.
In the delivery room,
"it hurts, it hurts so bad," Melinda groaned,
"I know, but it'll all be worth it in the end, you'll have a beautiful daughter," said a voice, Melinda looked passed the midwives to see a spirit that looked exactly like herself, except she was wearing a long cream dress and cream high-heels,
"are you me?" Melinda asked,
"I'm you from three hours in the future," replied the spirit,
"but you're a spirit," Melinda stated, then she realized, the spirit faded away.
Piper froze the whole hospital and blew up the gold doors, the family ran into the delivery room to find Melinda lying in the bed, an incubator was at the bottom of it, inside was the baby.
"Melinda?" Beau said, Melinda didn't even move, her eyes were closed,
"I'm so sorry," said one of the doctors, "she didn't make it, though the baby should make a speedy recovery," the whole family turned to each other for support, except Beau, he took Melinda's hand in his, it was still quite warm, then he reached into his pocket and took out a red velvet box, he opened it and removed the dazzling diamond ring, then he slipped it onto Melinda's finger, before burying his face in the bed sheets. Piper looked at her daughter's hand,
"she would have made a beautiful bride," she mumbled, Leo took her in his arms and held her tight.
Three Days Later…
Beau took one last look at Melinda's grave before walking away, pushing the pink stroller containing his daughter, Brianna Melinda Halliwell-Wyatt, he was leaving the city, moving to L.A with his baby daughter.
