A/N: Sorry for the delay! Let me thank the reviewers first, though.

Rachel, Wow! Glad you're enjoying it so much and I hope you continue to enjoy it!

damien455, Lol. Right! Big, bad curse! I know. The Presley thing was really sad and I didn't want to do it – cries – but it's a major plot in the fic. Glad you like the name, too!

svata2004, Glad you're enjoying it!

Side note: I promised this would be a trilogy. But the second installment is sorta boring and I'm having trouble coming up with ideas, since it's a non-magic fic. So I might drop it and just have a sequel with flashbacks. Also, the sequel might be delayed a long time for two reasons 1) I want it to rock! 2) I'm working on a new fic that I absolutely love, just as much as this one! So I haven't had a chance to look at the other Generation Charmed Installments, or write them for that matter. But be patient, they're coming!

Kay, so, read, enjoy, and review please!


"It was the hardest thing I ever had to do," Payton informed her sisters, tears sliding down her face.

It had been over two hours since she and Rick had dropped Presley off at the church. Payton sat with her sisters in the living room on the couch. Pandora had made them chamomile tea. Rick was nowhere to be found; he was taking this very hard, although he had agreed with Payton that it was the best thing. With her powers bound and living in a non-magic home, Presley was safe from demons and she could grow up and live a normal life.

"It was for the best," Pandora said gently.

"I know it was. But I miss her so much," Payton said, fresh tears gliding down her pale cheeks.

"So, how did Sister Agnes take it?" Phoenix asked, unable to suppress a smile.

Payton, despite herself, laughed slightly. "She was surprised, I can say that much. I'm sure she didn't expect me to mention Paige and then do exactly what her parents did, like, 30 or 40 years ago. But she didn't ask any questions and – and she promised to take good care of Presley. She promised to find her a good home and she promised that whoever took her would keep her name as it is."

The room fell silent for a few minutes. Pandora broke that silence, saying, "Whatever happened to Leo? We haven't seen him since the day our mother's-"she paused. "And Uncle Christian never visits us and even my dad seems to be staying away."

"I don't know, Pandora," Payton replied sadly. "Your guess is as good as mine."

"Well, why don't we do the summoning spell? Whoever we get, it's better than nothing. And it's about time someone talks to us. It's been over nine months since we've spoken with anyone," Phoenix replied.

Payton and Pandora nodded in agreement and the three of them stood and traipsed up to the attic. Phoenix and Pandora set up the circle. When they were done, the three cousins held hands and chanted:

'Here our words, here our cry

Spirits from the other side

Come to we, we summon thee

Cross now the great divide'

Gold and white lights shimmered within the circle of glowing candles. They began to take shape and when the lights had disappeared, Patty stood in the circle. She smiled kindly at her grandchildren.

"Hello, girls. How are you?" she asked.

"Don't try to sweet talk us, Grandma. It's been nine months since our mom's died and we want to know what's going on. Where's my dad? He hasn't come back to us!" Pandora snapped, trying hard not to cry.

Patty frowned. "It is unfair. I should have come to you sooner and explained. Girls, Leo can't come back to you."

"What? Why?!" Pandora exclaimed, eyes wide.

"He was your mothers' Whitelighter, not yours. When they were killed, his job was complete. He's gone through so much over the past several years that the Elders rewarded him with a new life. They altered his memory and made him human," Patty explained.

Payton's eyes widened in horror. "They can't do that! He's my father!"

"Where are Uncle Jason and my dad?" Phoenix asked, cutting Payton off before she had a real tantrum.

"Christian has fallen off the Elders radar. We don't know where he is," Patty replied sadly. She continued quickly so not to be interrupted, saying, "And Jason's memory has been altered. He doesn't remember anything about Phoebe and her sisters, you girls, or magic. The Elders thought it best."

"How could this happen?!? We've been abandoned, Grandma!" Pandora cried. "They took our mothers and now they've taken our fathers, too!"

"We tried to stop it from happening," said a bodiless voice that sounded strangely familiar.

"But the Elders overruled us," added a second familiar-sounding bodiless voice.

"I never did like them," said a third bodiless, familiar-sounding voice.

White lights filled the circle next to Patty and seconds later, the spirits of Piper, Phoebe, and Paige appeared.

"Mom!" Payton, Pandora, and Phoenix shouted in unison, eyes wide and sparkling with shock and happiness.

Piper, Phoebe, and Paige stepped out of the circle and became solid. They each ran to their daughter and hugged her tightly.

"How are you here?" Phoenix asked, hugging Paige extra tight.

"When Aunt Prue died, you said you weren't allowed to see her!" Pandora added breathlessly.

"We threatened to do a binding spell on your powers if They didn't let us come. We may be dead, but we could pull it off. If we did that, there would be no Charmed Ones to protect the world. So the Elders finally gave in," Phoebe replied, grinning from ear to ear.

"It was Piper's idea," Paige added, smirking.

Piper shrugged. "Well, can you blame me? Those damn Elders took us away from our children and then, to top it off, took away Leo and Jason."

"You all have some catching up to do, I see," Patty said, smiling. "Girls, you don't have a lot of time. I'll come back when your time is up." And she disappeared in white lights.

"Let's go to our own rooms so we can each catch up with our moms in private," Pandora suggested. Everyone nodded in agreement and went their own separate ways.

Payton led Piper to her room and they sat on the bed next to each other, hugging and crying. It took them several seconds before they could compose themselves enough to speak.

"Mom, I'm so sorry I never told you what was wrong with me before you died. I was scared and unsure. I had to make sure I was right before I told you and I was too late," Payton blurted, half making sense.

"Shhh, honey calm down," Piper said gently, tucking a strand of Payton's hair behind her ear and holding her hands. "I'm not mad, okay? I was just worried about you and when you didn't tell me what was wrong, I was hurt because we always shared everything. But that's in the past and I forgive you. Just tell me, what was wrong?"

Tears in her eyes, Payton looked in mom straight in the eyes. "I was pregnant. Rick- he was the father."

Piper frowned, shocked by this piece of information. But her frown became a smile and she hugged Payton. Then she pulled back. "Girl?"

Payton nodded, smiling. "I named her Presley Piper, in honor of you."

"Can I see her?" Piper asked excitedly.

"N-no," Payton mumbled, shaking her head.

"Why not?" Piper asked worriedly.

"I gave her away. I bound her powers and I gave her away," Payton replied numbly, now regretting her decision.

Piper frowned again, hugging Payton and rocking her in the comforting way only mothers can pull off.
