Peanut2lb: Glad you liked it! I didn't like Magic School either to begin with, but it's grown and me, plus, I don't like putting them in a normal school! The next chapter will telekinetically arrive in your box now, I can't wait for the next chapter of EC to orb into mine lol!
The-Cheese-Fairy: Glad you liked it! Future Hilda will have a significance later on, but not much! I tried to make the characters I've created as charmed-ish as possible, but I've been running some ideas through my head and they might not still be in it at the end of this fic!
Paige of Parenthood:
Phoebe tossed an turned in bed, dreams of a happier place drifting in and out of her mind;
Cole and Phoebe were standing at the alter in a church, they were getting married. She had her hands on her stomach, which was a large bump, she was pregnant.
"Sweetie, it's time to get up," she heard Cole's voice say, but she didn't want to come out of the dream, it was so joyful and overwhelming, but her dream soon turned horrible;
Cole was standing in a penthouse, when Paige orbed her, Prue and Piper in,
"Phoebe's already made her choice, you can't change her mind," he said,
"no, but we can vanquish you," Prue stated, squinting her eyes and lifting him into the air while Paige created a circle of crystals around him. As she was about to place the final crystal, Cole flamed out of Prue's hold and next to Paige, blasting her away with a fire ball, the crystal rolled away. Leo orbed in and healed Paige, just as Cole formed another fire ball and prepared to throw it at them, but when the bathroom door opened he stopped in his tracks, and a heavily pregnant Phoebe came out of it.
"I'm so sorry, but it's the only way," Cole said,
"I know," Phoebe said, picking up the crystal and planting a kiss on his lips, "and I'm sorry too," she put the crystal down, and with the others it created a cage of energy. Then Phoebe held out her hands and lasers of heat shot from her palms, striking Cole in the chest,
"I love you," she cried, as she increased the heat,
"Phoebe…no…" he said, flames roared inside of him and he exploded, Phoebe dropped to her knees, tears pouring down her face.
"What is it? what did you see?" Cole asked,
"I saw the most wonderful thing ever, and the most terrible," she replied, a tear trickled down her cheek as she looked into his face, she hoped what she had seen was not a premonition, but she really wanted the good part to have been.
"D'you wanna go see your sisters?" he asked, holding her in his arms,
"I want a baby," she blurted out, Cole's eyes widened,
"what made you say that?" the half-demon asked,
"in my vision, I was pregnant, and maybe if can change when I have my baby I can change the bad part of what I saw," she told him, her plan was, that if the part about her vanquishing Cole was a premonition, then if she got pregnant and had her baby sooner, she wouldn't be able to use it's power to vanquish him, but that wasn't the only reason she wanted to have a baby, she genuinely wanted to be a mother, like her sisters were.
Meanwhile, Andy orbed in on top of Golden Gate Bridge, where he found Zola and Sandra discussing something,
"what is it?" he asked,
"oh, we summoned you to let you know that there's an upper level darklighter about, and there's no doubt he'll go after Paige, Karis and Patrice," Zola informed him,
"okay, I'll go tell the sisters," Andy said, dissolving into red sparkles which vanished from the air.
At the manor, Piper was in the kitchen, mixing up the ingredients to make some cookies, when Karis ran in,
"demon!" she squealed, a darklighter appeared out of a swirl of black orbs, aiming his crossbow towards the little girl. Piper threw at her hands to blow him up, but he just stumbled backwards,
"I'm stronger than you," he hissed, firing an arrow towards Karis, who destroyed it with an electro-pyrokinetic bolt and ran behind her aunt.
"I'll get you, you little rugrat," the darklighter snarled, disappearing into dark orbs,
"he was powerful," Piper stated, Karis nodded,
"me vanish?" she said,
"no, me vanquish," Piper replied, ruffling her niece's hair.
Upstairs, Paige stared at who she had just summoned, Patty Halliwell, her biological mother, she was going to reunite who two birth parents, so all that was left to do now was call for Sam. When she did he orbed in straight away,
"Patty," his gasped, when he saw his forbidden lover,
"surprise," Paige grinned,
"Sam, I'm so happy to see you," Patty said, turning corporeal and practically running into his arms. The youngest sister could only smile as her parents shared a tender kiss, but when a darklighter orbed in a look of concerned became plastered across her face, she leapt forward and pushed him to the ground, battling to get his crossbow away from him. Patty prepared to freeze the darklighter, but when she saw him blast Paige away with an energy ball, she couldn't move, horror dawned upon her as she watched blood gush from the wound in her daughter's chest. Sam ran to Paige's aid, healing her within seconds, then he stood up straight and pulled an athame from his belt. As he was about to throw the blade, the darklighter shot an arrow, stabbing into Sam's shoulder and making him drop to the floor,
"Leo!" Paige called, kneeling down next to her father, but he didn't come.
"Paige, orb him to Magic School, there'll be an Elder there somewhere who can heal him," Patty instructed, struggling to keep the darklighter frozen,
"there isn't time," Paige said, "I'll have to do it myself," she held her hands over where the arrow had pierced his skin. She waited about three seconds for a healing glow to surround her hands, but one didn't appear,
"no, please don't die, I don't want to lose another father, daddy please don't die," she cried, as she said 'daddy' a golden shine had begun to materialise from her hands, and now it was getting brighter and brighter, and Sam's wound was getting smaller and smaller, until it completely vanished.
"I did it," she stated, "I healed him,"
"thank you," Sam said, Paige surprised the whitelighter by throwing her arms around him in a hug, which he responded to. Erik, the darklighter, formed an energy ball, releasing it straight towards Paige, luckily she sensed it coming towards her and psychokinetically-orbed it back at him with out even having to come out of the hug she shared with her dad. The energy ball exploded upon impact with Erik, not harming him in any way,
"I sense a power greater than you, a whitelighter, and a witch, another child," he said, after sniffing the air, then he dark orbed out.
Back in the kitchen, Karis was watching Piper make a vanquishing potion, when a flurry of black sparkles appeared, becoming the same darklighter from before,
"don't worry little girl, I don't want you, I want your cousin," Erik told Karis, conjuring his crossbow.
"You can't have Patrice," Piper said, putting some of the potion into a vial, Erik seemed surprised by her name,
"so there's another, I suppose I'll get her after I've got the unborn," he said. Piper had no idea what he was talking about, he released a arrow at her, but when she raised her hands to freeze it, orbs partially enveloped her body and lifted her into the air, dodging the arrow. Erik was shocked, giving Karis enough time to grab one of the vials off the worktop and toss it at the floor, vanquishing him,
"auntie Piper, do I get dat power when I get big too?" she asked,
"I have no idea what that power was," Piper replied, as she settled back to the ground and the orbs disappeared.
"That power was levi-orbing," Andy said, after walking in from the doorway
"what?" Piper asked
"it's what whitelighters do to meditate, but considering your baby's half witch she'll probably use it like Phoebe does, to fight," he replied.
"I'm not pregnant," Piper stated,
"then how else do you explain it?" Andy questioned,
"I'm gonna ring the hospital," she said, storming over to the phone.
A few seconds later,
"oh, hello Miss Halliwell, we're awfully sorry we didn't call to tell this morning, but you are in fact pregnant," the doctor told her, this news came unexpected to Piper as she hadn't experienced any pregnancy symptoms, and she fainted.
That night, Paige sat in her bedroom looking through a photo album,
"hey, what ya looking at?" Glenn asked, sitting next to her on the bed,
"they were a family, and then my dad wrecked it," she told him, running her finger over a picture of Patty, Victor and little Prue, Piper and Phoebe.
"That's not your fault," he told her,
"maybe," she said, "I need to go speak to someone," she said, handing him the album and orbing up to the attic.
When she got up there she summoned Patty,
"Paige, what is it?" she asked,
"did I destroy your family?" Paige questioned, Patty was shocked by her daughter's question.
"Of course not," she replied,
"I knew you'd say that," Paige said, "don't lie to me,"
"Paige, I promise you, my marriage and family were ruined long before you came along," Patty told her,
"okay, did my dad destroy your family?" Paige asked.
Prue was walking up the attic but stopped when she got to the door, after hearing voices in there, she opened the door slightly and saw Paige and Patty talking,
"me and your father fell in love, it couldn't be helped, unfortunately I was in love with Victor at the same time, but I made my choice and I've never regretted it since, if I hadn't then we wouldn't have had you," Patty said. Paige just looked at her mother,
"please don't lie to me with this one, do you love me like you love my sisters?" she asked, this question made Prue's heart sink, and when she leaned against the door it opened even further and she fell,
"Prue!" Patty exclaimed,
"answer my question," Paige said, sounding almost like an order.
"Paige, I loved you from the moment of conception, but your sisters were always with me, of course I was closer to them, but I still love you the same," Patty told her,
"thank you," Paige said, helping Prue up, then the three shared a hug.
