Chapter Seven: Destiny Revealed.

After being visited by her sisters, Piper went to her room and just cried. She cried for the life her children were to have, and it scared her. She didnt want them to end up dead at an early age. Just like her mother, and her sisters. She could admit to herself that she missed magic. She missed her powers so much, she thought about doing a spell to give them back to her, but didn't. She wanted a normal life and she got it, but it wasnt like how she expected. She needed her magic. After about an hour, she decided she had to give her kids their destiny.

By the time Piper had entered the kitchen, the kids were home. Leo was in the kitchen, trying to cook, Pru was watching "Dawson's Creek" re- runs, Sander was on the phone in the solarium, and Greg was online.

"Leo, living room. Now please." said Piper as she poked her head in the kitchen. Leo put the chicken down and followed his wife. Piper entered the living room, with a stoic expression on her face.

"You, tv off. You, sign off. You, get off the phone. And sit down on the couch please." said Piper, with a little sternness in her voice. The kids all looked confused and terrified. They never saw their mom like this.

"Mom? What is it?" asked Pru, as she sat next to Greg.

"I need to talk to you about something very important."

"Leo. Can you go get the Book. It's in the trunk." said Piper looking at her husband. He nodded and ran towards the stairs.

"This is about your Aunts."

"I thought Aunt Prue and Aunt Phoebe were dead." said Pru.

"They are. I need to tell you how they died." said Piper.

"You told us already. They died in a car crash." said Sander.

"No. They were murdered. By demons." said Piper, pain etched on her face.

"Demons?" said Greg skeptically.

"Yes. Demons are creatures from hell. We, the Halliwells, are witches."

Pru burst out laughing. Greg smirked, and Sander looked interested. Sander was a big believer in magic and the occult.

"Yea, and leprechauns are real too." laughed Pru.

"They are. I've met one." smiled Piper.

Leo had just re-entered the living room, with the Book of Shadows under his arm.

"This is the Book Of Shadows. Our spell book, filled with demonology, and potions. You each are to have powers. I had powers once." said Piper.

"Had?" said Sander, looking at the Book.

"Yes. I gave up magic, when Prue and Phoebe died. Then I found out that magic was destined for you, so I have to give you your powers."

"Mom?" said Sander, as he peered at the book.

"Yeah?"

"The stories you used to tell me when I went to bed as a little kid, about the witches. Were they real?"

"Yes. Those night time stories I told were based on your aunts and my adventures in magic."

"So you are able to freeze time and blow things up?" said Pru, remembering the story.

"Yes, or I was able to."

"And Dad, you're a whitelighter?" said Greg, catching on.

"Yes." said Leo, as he orbed to the other side of the room.

"Whoa." said the kids all in unison.

"What are our powers?" said Pru.

"I don't know. But we need to do a spell to get them back." said Piper as she flipped through the book for a spell. "Here we go."

Piper looked at the book, then to her kids. She hesitated then recited:

I call upon the Halliwells
Bring our magic under this spell
Give your powers to us Halliwells
In the night, and in this hour
Grant us our sacred Powers.

There was a swirl of white light and five orbs floated in the air, circling for a host. One orb went into the children, and two into Piper. "Mom?" said Pru, who was a little weak.

"Was that supposed to happen?" said Greg as he clenched his sides, "I feel so nauseous."

"I'm fine." said Sander.

"Leo, honey, throw the vase at me." said Piper, as she stodd up. Leo, obeying, threw the vase at her.

"Mom!" yelled Pru, as Piper flicked her wrist and the vase froze in place, sailing through the air.

"Whoa." said all three in unison. Piper just smiled. "Who knew after seventeen years, I still packed a punch."

She flicked her wrist again, and the vase exploded. Shards of glass, flying in all directions.

"Mom, do you know what kind of powers we will get?" asked Sander.

"Yeah. One will have telekinesis, the other temporal stasis, and lastly premonition."

Pru looked at her mom. "You know, people inherit antiques, or money. Not magic. I am a freak now!"

"Oh hush. You are not a freak. Plus your Aunt Prue said that when she found out she was a witch." said Piper.

"I think Sander is the only one here who needs magic. Then maybe he'll get friends." teased Greg.

"Take that back!" yelled Sander, angrily.

"No." said Greg, with a smirk on his face. Sander's face turned red with anger, as Greg walked away, walking on top of the glass. "Don't fall, you wouldn't want the glass to cut you!" yelled Sander, as the glass flew towards Greg. Greg turned around to say something back, when he saw the glass coming. He instinctively put his arms up, and the glass froze.

"Thanks, mom." said Greg. "Greg, that wasn't me." said Piper. "Who was it?"

Piper looked at her son, "You."

"You mean, I can freeze time?" said Greg smiling.

"Yes." said Piper, "And it looks like Sander here can move things with his mind."

"That means I get premonitions. How stupid." said Pru as she continued her walk upstairs.

"Premonitions are the most important!" yelled Piper. But Pru just ignored her.

"Mom, I need to think about this. Everything is going to change, and I don't know if I can deal with it." said Greg, as he walked upstairs too.

Piper sighed a heavy sighed, and started to clean up.

"Mom?" said Sander, from the corner.

"Yes?" said Piper, looking up at her son. Who was in the corner, with a sad look upon his face.

"Can we talk?"

"Of course. What about?"

"Uhm...first of all. Thanks."

"For what?"

"This. Magic." said Sander with a weak tone in his voice.

"You don't have to thank me." said Piper. "Leo, help me." she said yelling at her husband.

"Mom, Dad. I need to talk to you about something, Important." he said as he sat down in one of the arm chairs. Leo and Piper looked at him and waited for him to start. And he did.
