Charmed in the Afterlife: Saving Baby Halliwell

Dimension of the Lost

"Hey! Get your hands off my neice!"

The warlock jumped at the sound of Paige's voice. "You cannot stop me!" he laughed. Fire shot from his palms inastraight line, targeting Paige.

"Force Field!" Paige lifted her arms forming a protective blue ring around she and Shaylee. The field lasted only long enough to protect them from the fiery blaze giving the warlock time to break the lantern free of the security laser beam.

"This little Charmed one is mine"

"We'll see about that," Paige hissed thinking of a chant, "Power of three come to me, settle here so that my sisters are near. Their vanquishing power, I need so that I can save my families seed!" Flashes of red light circled around Paige, beaming into her. Paige looked at her hand in shock as it began to glow filling her with a familiar sisterly strength.

"I have Prue's power," she muttered pulling her arm back issuing a mighty thrust, deflecting the warlock's field of flames. A flick of her wrists sought Piper's explosive power, blowing the warlock to bits.

"Whoa that was cool!" Shaylee gaped wide-eyed at Paige's newfound strength.

"I can't believe it actually worked" Paige swallowed shocked gazing at the gaping hole that her vanquishes had left behind. The lantern was lying on its side with the lights still burning brightly.

"Look!" Shaylee pointed as the lantern, lifted from the ground and floated into Paige's hands. "C'mon, I think this is our sign to go-" Paige's words were cut short as she was taken over by an overwhelming presence.

Premonition

Black and white images of Prue and Piper formed in Paige's head. The two were standing side by side when the warlock who'd tried to steal the lantern blinked in, hitting the both of them with flames.

"Paige?"

"My sister's they're both dead" Paige muttered sickly right before passing out. Red flashes escaped from her body, leaving her physically drained.

"Paige? Paige!" Shaylee fell to her knees shaking the unconscious witch. "Paige, please wake up" Once she saw, that Paige was truly unconscious, Shaylee reached for the lantern clasping tightly in her hands. "Sorry" she whispered to the baby's essence, "but I need this power more than you do"

The lights in the lantern, flicked for a moment, dying to nothing and then returning.

"What happened?"

"You passed out from your sister's surge of power," Shaylee said as Paige pushed up to one elbow. Smiling, Shaylee handed Paige the lantern. "You dropped this"

Paige stared at the lantern for several moments, noting a dimness in it's light. "Wasn't this brighter before?"

Shaylee shook her head, "I don't think so, but maybe it needs to be connected with another spirit for it to survive"

"You could be right," Wobbling Paige pulled herself to her feet. "Let's get her home"

Manor

"Andy? Andy wait you can't leave don't you want to stay for dinner?" Phoebe's heels thundered down the stairs nipping at Andy's heels. "Piper cooked Duck"

"Duck?" Andy questioned with surprise "Sorry Phoebe, I'm not hungry. Tell Prue I'll be at Darryl's if she needs me" In his hands, Andy held a Nike sports bag, which contained enough clothing and necessities to last him a week.

"B-but Grams is coming"

"All the more reason for me to leave"

"I heard that Andrew" An apparitional form of Penny appeared in the entryway looking cross and judgmental. "You really shouldn't leave Prue at time like this"

"Grams, I asked him to leave, in fact I demanded it" Prue stepped out from the living room with her arms crossed over her chest. The crestfallen look on her face; made Penny's heart bleed.

Stepping out of her apparitional status, Penny became whole, and reached out to her oldest granddaughter, "Prue , I'm so sorry about the baby" she soothed taking Prue into her arms,

"How are you holding up?"

"I'm fine Grams," Prue managed a small smile for her grandmother as she pulled from Penny's arms.

"With Andy walking out the door?" Penny shook her head, "Prue you were always a good liar, but darling, I don't believe that for a second. Neither of you wants to be away from each other, I can see it in your faces"

Andy exchanged silent glances with Prue from across the room, making her advert her eyes so that neither he nor Grams would see her tears. "Did you know that Piper made a Peking Duck?"

"Peking Duck?" Penny repeated drawing out the name, "for heaven sakes why?"

"Because Phoebe and I want to get to married" Cole shimmered in behind Phoebe wrapping his hands around her petite sized waist. Penny stared shocked for several moments before opening her mouth to speak.

"Over my dead body!"

"Grams your already dead" Phoebe replied tangling her hands with Cole's, "besides, Cole and I love each other." Seeing the anger rise up in her Grandmother's face, Phoebe straightened her posture making herself stand up a bit taller.

"Phoebe, Elizabeth Agnes Halliwell, I will not allow you to marry a demon! In fact I forbid it!"

"Agnes, your name is Agnes?" Cole quipped, earning a sharp jab to the ribs, "Ow!"

"Don't speak when Grams is talking" Phoebe hissed, stepping on his foot.

Piper, marrying awhite lighterwas bad enough, and then Prue...." Penny's voice trailed, "If you think for one moment I am going to marrying you off to a demon, and disgrace this family, well Phoebe-"

"Duck's ready!" Piper's voice sang out as she exited the kitchen carrying a large flaming Pyrex dish. She was just about to set it on the table when a warlock blinked in, sending pyrokentic blasts at the table, igniting Piper's duck.

"My Duck!" Piper shrieked dropping the platter "Do you have any idea of how long it took me to perfect Peking Duck!" Oven mitts still covered her hands as she attempted to wave her arms in retaliation. "Why isn't this working?"

"Oven Mitts!" Prue fumed squinting dangerously as she sent the warlock sailing across the room into the staircase where Phoebe, Cole and Andy were standing. All three jumped out of harms way against the splintering wood.

"Watch it!" Phoebe growled as the warlock recovered, shooting a flaming blast at Piper and Prue.

"Prue!" Andy's eyes widened as the two sister's attempted to separate, causing the flame to divide into two halves.

"What the hell is that?" Prue spat as Paige appeared behind them, shielding them with her force field. Shaylee too.

"It's called a little sister power" she grinned deflecting the flames. "I'll tell you about it later"

"Let's vanquish his ass," Phoebe hissed, levitating herself into the warlock as Cole readied an energy ball. The half demon waited until his beloved had the warlock pinned against the wall and then fired. Again the warlock exploded leaving a huge scotch mark against the side of the wall.

"Is he gone?" Phoebe asked.

"I think so" Andy replied brandishing his crossbow for good measure.

"Is everyone okay?" Leo appeared surveying the mess.

"I think we're all fine," Penny replied smoothing her hair, "if you don't count that the fact that Phoebe is going to marry a demon and Andy is about to walk out on Prue"

Andy's is going to leave Prue? Paige's eyes widened, "No you can't"

"Prue evidently wants him to go," Penny droned sarcastically at her oldest granddaughter.

"It's for the best," Prue stammered in her defense, "Andy and I need some space"

Paige shook her head, lifting up the lantern, "No you don't. That's not the answer"

"Then what is?" Prue challenged, flippant.

"This. Uh Andy you'll want to move a little closer to Prue"

Andy looked at Prue skeptically waiting for her to motion him over. Prue nodded, allowing him to place his hand upon her waist as they waited for Paige's announcement.

Opening the lantern door, Paige released the lights creating a swarm of brightness in the room. The lights swirled for several moments above Prue's head, making everyone look upward in awe.

"What is that?"

"If I'm right, It's a miracle" Paige replied proudly just as the lights started to make a shift in direction and began to gravitate towards Piper. "Huh?"

"Uh Paige, what's happening to me?" Piper's dark eyes widened as the overwhelming sensation of love and joy began to enter her body. A bright smile crossed her face as life began to breath inside her.

"Leo? Leo? What is this?"

"Piper's baby?" Paige muttered. "I brought back Piper's unborn baby? Talk about backfire"
