Previously: They orbed in just in time to see something that was going to break Phoebe's heart,
"mommy, can I have some spaghetti?" MJ asked, completely forgetting where she was and everything her aunt Paige had told her,
"mommy?" Phoebe murmured, everybody gasped at the bombshell which had just been dropped on the Angelic Seer.
The Daughter They Never Had:
Charlotte broke the silence by beginning to cry,
"shush baby," Piper said, rocking her daughter,
"did I do something bad?" Melinda-Jayne asked,
"no sweetie," Paige Anderson replied, not wanting her niece to get worked up.
"Wait a minute, so in your world I have a daughter?" Phoebe asked,
"two," Paige Anderson told her,
"and den daddy and Dani got Benji," MJ added,
"what d'you mean?" the Angelic Seer asked,
"in our world you and Cole split up when you got pregnant with Melinda-Jayne, then he got with someone else and had a son called Benjamin, and you got with your new boss, Jason, and had a daughter called Charlotte," Paige Anderson explained.
"Why? why can I have children in world and not in another?" Phoebe said, tears forming in her eyes,
"a lot of things are different in our world to yours," Paige Anderson said,
"so is she my mommy?" MJ asked, Piper was about to reply when Phoebe spoke first,
"yeah, I'm your mommy," she said with a smile, everyone looked on in shock.
"Can we go see daddy?" Melinda-Jayne asked, hugging her 'mommy',
"sure," Phoebe replied, picking MJ up and letting the little girl shimmer them out.
"Oh no," Prue sighed, leaning on the doorframe,
"what're we gonna do?" Paige asked,
"I have no idea," Piper replied, handing Charlotte to her father and walking into the kitchen to do a bottle for the infant.
At Phoebe's and Cole's apartment, Cole was slightly confused at what Phoebe had just told him, but that became the last thing on his mind when Melinda-Jayne climbed onto his knees and hugged him, before kissing him on his nose,
"my mommy and daddy togeva," she stated, grabbing hold of Phoebe's finger and making it poke Cole's cheek, they all gave a small laugh.
Not much later, at the manor, the adults were trying to come with a plan to convince Phoebe to let MJ return to her own world, where her own parents were, while the older kids played and Charlotte slept in her mother's arms.
"We can't use magic, that'll make things worse," Prue said,
"so what else is there?" Andy asked,
"I don't know," Prue replied,
"how bout we just remind her of the vision she had of her being pregnant?" Paige said,
"no, she told me what it exactly was that she saw, and I don't think she wants to be reminded of that, Piper told them.
"Why? what did she see?" Leo asked,
"she saw herself using her baby's power to vanquish Cole, he was evil," Piper replied, nobody knew hot to react so they just nodded,
"maybe we can just talk to her?" Andy said,
"she won't listen," Piper stated,
"maybe she'll listen to Cole?' Paige Anderson said.
At Golden Gate Park, Phoebe and Cole stood, pushing Melinda-Jayne on the swings,
"mommy, daddy, are you gonna be together for ever now?" she asked,
"of course we are," Phoebe replied,
"you can't lie to her Phoebe," a voice said, she turned to see Paige Anderson. While Phoebe was looking at Paige Anderson, Leo orbed him and Piper in, and the middle charmed one froze Cole then Leo orbed the three of them out, the real Paige orbed in where Cole had once stood, glamouring into him. Phoebe looked back to see Cole still pushing MJ on the swings,
"leave us alone," she told Paige Anderson, who orbed out,
"I thought she'd put up more of a fight," Phoebe said,
"maybe she was right," Paige/Cole said,
"what?" Phoebe asked.
"I'm saying what if we are lying to MJ, she needs to be with her parents, and no matter much how we talk like them, walk like them, look like them, we're not them," Paige/Cole replied,
"I can't believe you're saying this!" Phoebe exclaimed, scooping Melinda-Jayne into her arms and whispering something in her ear, MJ shimmered them out.
Back at the manor,
"I can't believe you're going to trick her," Cole said,
"we're not tricking her, we're getting her to return what isn't truly hers," Prue argued,
"it doesn't matter what you call it," Paige/Cole said, orbing in, "she's beyond convincing," she told them, returning to her form.
"Where is she?" Leo asked, Paige shrugged,
"she got Melinda-Jayne to shimmer them somewhere," she replied,
"lets scry for her," Paige Anderson said, grabbing the map and crystal.
At the Turner mausoleum, Phoebe leaned against the wall, MJ asleep on her,
"I can't let you go, I just can't," she whispered, stroking the demon-witch's hair and face.
The crystal still hadn't dropped after five minutes,
"she's shimmered them somewhere where we can't find them," Piper stated,
"the mausoleum, it's immune to tracking," Cole told her,
"okay, so we know where they are, but we don't know how to help her," Paige Anderson said,
"I've got an idea," Paige said.
Phoebe was also beginning to drift off into sleep when she heard the door open and another version of herself walked down the stairs, stopping at the bottom,
"who are you?" the first Phoebe asked,
"her mother," Phoebe Two replied, gazing at Melinda-Jayne.
"No you're not, I am," Phoebe One argued,
"no you're not, and the only person you're convincing is yourself, it's time to let go and move on," Phoebe Two told her, Phoebe One began to cry hysterically, waking MJ,
"go back to the manor," Phoebe Two instructed, MJ nodded and shimmered out. The second Phoebe wrapped her arms around the first in a comforting hold, before becoming Paige,
"you tricked me," Phoebe said, seeing her sister had posed as Melinda-Jayne's mother and standing up, beginning to run away,
"Phoebe wait," Paige called after her, but it was too late, she had left.
About ten minutes later, everybody had said their goodbyes, except Phoebe who they couldn't find, and they were preparing to send Paige Anderson, Laura and MJ back,
"wait," a voice said, before they could chant the spell, it was Phoebe, she walked over and held Melinda-Jayne close,
"be good for your mommy," she whispered in her ear, before standing back and joining Cole. Piper, Paige and Prue said to spell:
"in this night and in this hour,
we call upon the ancient power,
send them back to where they'll find-
their own land in space and time."
Clusters of blue light and swirling white mist surrounded Paige Anderson, Laura and Melinda-Jayne, they waved goodbye as they vanished from sight,
"Phoebe…." Paige began,
"don't, just don't," Phoebe stopped her, walking downstairs and out of the manor, Cole went after her,
"what're we gonna do?" Paige asked,
"what we can," Piper replied.
The following day, Cole woke up to find a note on the pillow next to him, he opened it up and read what it said;
"dear Cole, I was finding it hard to deal with the fact we can't have kids, but then discovering I had two in a different world made things worse, so I'm taking a break, I'm going to Olympia to do some Seer duties, help others and hopefully help myself, I hope you'll wait for me, all my love, Phoebe." Sadness filled his heart,
"I'll wait for you," he whispered, still holding the letter.
To be continued….
