Author's Note: Ok, I didn't get swamped with as much work as I thought I would now that school has started up again, so here's another chapter for ya! It starts off a week after Leo comes back…

Piper is sitting on the couch with Leo when a little tabby kitten orbs into her lap.

"What the Hell?"

Leo sees a card attached to the collar, pulls it off, and reads it aloud.

"From the Elders. Take care of her and she will take care of you."

Piper looks at the tags on her collar.

"Leo, she's got the triquetra, just like Kit did. I think she's a familiar."

He looks at her puzzled.

"For the baby?"

"I guess."

"Does she have a name?"

"Um, I don't think so."

"Well, name her."

"Hmmm, I'll call her Thing."

"Thing?"

"Yes. She could be a Sweet Thing, or a Clever Thing, or…"

"Or a Mean Stupid Thing."

Leo laughs and Piper glares at him. He quickly replies in fear of her raging pregnancy hormones.

"Or just a Thing."

Someone knocks at the door and Leo jumps up to answer it. When he opens the door, Phoebe jumps up and hugs him.

"I got my driver's license!"

She looks over his shoulder and sees Piper sitting on the couch. She runs over and jumps up and down.

"I got my driver's license!"

"I heard. Now you don't have to rely on Paige to orb you everywhere."

Phoebe squeals in excitement and then notices the small kitten sitting in Piper's lap.

"What's that?"

"A Thing."

"A Thing?"

"Yup."

"That's a cool name for a cat."

She reaches down to pet Thing, and she starts purring.

"Aw, she's so cute! Where'd ya get her?"

"The Elders."

"What? Why?"

"She's a familiar for the baby."

"Oh. That reminds me, what ever happened to Kit?"

"I don't know."

Piper looks over to Leo. "What did happen to Kit?"

"She moved on to a witch that needed her. After Paige grew into her powers, you guys didn't need a familiar any more."

Piper nods and Phoebe sits down next to her. As soon as she sits down, she gets pulled into a premonition.

A darklighter appears and shoots an arrow at Piper. She freezes it and blows the darklighter to pieces. Another one appears and shoots her before she gets a chance to freeze it. She falls backwards and Leo catches her.

Fast-forward a few hours: Piper is lying on the couch in the apartment, with Leo by her side. Her eyes close and she stops breathing. Leo, unable to heal her wound, bows his head in grief.

Phoebe opens her eyes and sees Piper and Leo staring at her.

"Phoebe, what did you see?"

She looks into Piper's eyes.

"A darklighter. It shot you with an arrow and…"

She stops, not wanting to say it. Leo sits down next to her.

"Where did you see it happen?"

"I couldn't tell where she was shot, but she died here, on the couch. It wasn't very far in the future."

Piper bolts up off of the couch.

"I don't want to stay here. Paige!"

Leo stands up and tries to calm her down.

"Piper, you're not gonna die. No darklighter will be stupid enough to attack you here."

"I don't care. I want to go to the Manor."

Thing rubs up against Piper's leg and she bends down to pick her up.

"PAIGE!"

Paige orbs in.

"What!"

"Take us to the Book of Shadows."

"Why?"

"Just do it!"

"Ok, ok. Sheesh! You don't have to scream."

Leo takes Piper's hand, and Paige takes hers and Phoebe's as they all orb to the attic.

A/N: Sorry it's so short, but I don't have time to write any more. I'll post the next chapter as soon as I can.
