Okay, I'm back. For any of you that are interested and haven't read it, I have a story called Cole's Revenge. It's about Cole getting revenge (obviously) on Paige for his belief that she ruined his relationship with Phoebe. It's almost done, so check it out if you see fit (that reminded me of 'fit like' but it didn't seem to be right, although I'm not Scottish so you'd have to ask The-Cheese-Fairy about that). Anyways, I'll get on to the reviews.
s.halliwell- Yep, one more to go. Can you tell when it's going to happen? ;-)
Paige Halliwell- I liked those lines too, I thought they were cool (not to toot my own horn or anything...) You are evil. Poor Freeb-, I mean Phoebe, lol. Very clever you are using the title like that. Thanks!
Fire Gazer- Hey, you wrote more than nice! Just kidding, thanks for the review.
The-Cheese-Fairy- Do you know how hard it is to find a good guys name with a 'P'? I finally found Parker and I was like 'Halle-freakin-lujah'! We'll see about the May 29th thing... My little sister Kelci is actually May 13th, which is where that came from. Which 'make sure they weren't having the baby yet' line are you talking about? I'll have to check and see... Okay, now I know what you're talking about. That's funny now that I reread it. Hey thanks by the by!
"If you like Piña Colada, and getting caught in the rain," Paige sang happily as she danced around the kitchen, looking for something to eat. She felt warm arms wrap around her still expanded belly.
"Unfortunately, until my little baby is born, you won't be liking Piña Coladas any time soon," Frisco said. Paige smiled.
"Yeah, that'll be the first thing I do after Persephone is born," she said.
"Hm, that's the first time you've said her name since you've been pregnant," Frisco pointed out.
"Yeah, it is. I'm hoping she'll hurry up," Paige said. The whole house had been hoping that the baby would come. It had now been two whole weeks since the 'Preston scare' as they called. Paige wasn't flipping out about not having her baby, which was okay because Piper did it enough for the whole house. She reaching four weeks after her due date, but she passed it off saying that women had late births just as often as they had them on time.
It was now May 29th and Paige had a feeling that she wouldn't have to wait much longer. She had made sure that she had stayed in the house all day to make sure that she was home. She wanted to have the baby at home as Phoebe and Piper had done. She hated hospitals and it made her feel safe to be at home with her family, especially Frisco.
"You okay, Red?" Frisco asked. Paige nodded.
"Just thinking," she replied, smiling at her nickname. She still had strawberry blond hair, as she had taken quite a liking to it, but Frisco had called her Red ever since the potion blew up in her face and changed her hair red.
"She'll be here soon, won't she?" Frisco asked, referring to their daughter. Paige nodded.
"Soon," she said. Frisco kissed her head lightly and orbed them to their room. They would relax for the day. It was Sunday anyways.
Prue, Piper, and Phoebe all sat on the couch with their babies who all happened to be sleeping at the moment. Patience was five weeks and one day old, Parker was three weeks old, and Preston was two weeks and one day old. The mothers couldn't be happier to be there with their children. They still couldn't wait to finally add the last one to the list and be done with it though.
"Do you think everything's okay with Paige and the baby?" Phoebe asked.
"I've been asking that for a while now, haven't I? I hope so," Piper said.
"They're fine. They have to be. It's destiny, remember?" Prue said. Her sisters nodded.
"I just hope she has the baby soon," Phoebe said.
"Not as much as she does. She still has to carry it around," Prue said. She was quite happy that she had been the first. It made things so much easier for her. She looked at her little girl, then at her oldest nefiew, and then at her youngest. They all resembled their mothers in some way. Paience with her black hair, blue eyes, and freckle; Parker with his brown eyes; and Preston with his brown eyes and pointed chin (A/N: did anyone else notice how pointy Alyssa's chin is? It's annoying.). They all knew that Persephone was going to look almost exactly like Paige.
As for powers: Patience had her preiviously established hydrokenisis, Parker had the power to control the wind, and Preston had the power to control the earth. They had become very troublesome with their powers, too. Parker had caused a minor tornado one day when Piper had taken too long to get him a bottle and Preston had caused a small earthquake (which Phoebe had freaked over due to her fear of earthquakes) when Phoebe hadn't changed his diaper in time. The only thing they could guess was that Persephone would have pyrokenisis, or the ability to control fire. They all hoped this wasn't true though because that could be the most dangerous power of them all.
They all jumped at the very familiar yell of a Halliwell woman in labor. They carefully ran upstairs and into Paige's room, holding onto their babies tightly. By the time they got there, Persephone was already out into the world and crying as loudly as possible.
"Holy crap, that was fast!" Piper exclaimed.
"That was faster than yours," Prue said to Piper. Frisco and Paige were completely oblivious to the sisters as they were too busy looking at the beautiful baby girl.
"Hello Persephone Autum Halliwell," Paige said, completing the tradition of welcoming the babies into the family.
"She's beautiful, Paige," Phoebe said with a smile. Paige looked up and beamed happily at her sisters.
"It's about time, too," she said to her baby who smiled sleepily and gurgled a little. Her sisters brought over their babies and showed them all the newest and last addition to the Halliwell family. The babies reached out with tiny hands and touched each other. As soon as they all did so, a blue light came down from the ceiling. The mothers and Frisco jumped back in surprise. When the light was gone, they looked at each other questioningly.
"What the hell was that?" Piper asked.
"It sort of looked like what happened when we all met for the first time in the manor," Paige said.
"Yeah, when that blue light shot down from the ceiling," Phoebe said.
"What does it mean?" Prue asked.
"It means," Leo said as he was just orbing in with Zola, "that the next generation of Charmed Ones has been constituted."
The Charmed Ones all sat in the living room: Leo on the couch with Piper on his lap holding Parker; Paige laying next to them with her legs back behind her; Frisco against the couch, on the floor, under Paige, holding Persephone; Prue and Andy sat on the loveseat with Patience; and Phoebe and Cole were on the armchair with Preston. Zola stood in the center of the room, looking at them all.
"I know you have all been wondering about your children's destinies, especially after today. We have decided that you have a right to know," he said.
"Well I'm glad we're allowed to know something," Piper muttered.
"Honey," Leo warned.
"No, she's right. We don't allow you to have too much information," Zola said.
"We know, so hurry up and tell us what's up with our kids," Prue said. Zola smiled.
"Your children, Patience, Parker, Preston, and Persephone, are destined to become the Archers. The Archers are four witches that master in archery and lead four seperate armies that join together for the final battle. Pruedence, your daughter will be the Archer of the North; Piper's son will be the Archer of the East; Phoebe's son will be the Archer of the West; and Paige's daughter will be the Archer of the South. Together, they will have the power to knock out all evil when the time comes. Each one controls an element. Patience controls anything that has to do with water including the animals, Parker controls the wind and birds, Preston controls the land and the animals on it, and Persephone controls fire and heat," he explained. The sisters and their husbands listened the entire time. They were amazed that their children, so small and innocent, were destined to be so powerful.
"Why our kids?" Piper asked.
"Because you are the Charmed Ones. Your family holds a line of power beyond what you know," Zola said.
"These guys are gonna be hard to handle," Paige said.
I finally updated. Sorry for the wait. Now you guys know what's up with the kids. It sounds kind of cool to me. I can't wait to see what I do with it. Anyways, till next time...
