The Shadow Witches:

Piper stood in the attic, staring at the front cover of the Book of Shadows, at the broken triquetra,

"we can fix this," Leo assured her, walking over and placing his hands on her shoulders, as if to comfort her,

"easier said than done," she said, stepping out of his hold and leaving the room.

Down in the underworld, Phoebe shimmered into The Source's lair,

"you sent me after my niece," she hissed,

"I did what was necessary," he told her, bouncing a fire ball in his hand.

"I don't care whether you saw it necessary, Pamara is my flesh and blood," she stated, extinguishing his fire ball with an energy bolt,

"there was no need for that, Phoebe," he said, forming another of the spherical flames, she sighed and shimmered back out.

Meanwhile, Prue sat on a stone chair, which was covered with fluffy pillows and warm blankets, Pamara slept in her arms.

"I'll never let any harm come to you," she whispered, taking a break from the lullaby she was humming.

Back at the manor, Piper was in the bathroom, waiting for the minute to come to an end,

"it's time," she stated, after glancing at her watch. She walked over and lifted the white stick off the edge of the sink,

"I'm pregnant," the witch-alchemist whispered.

Not much later, Piper was sitting in her bedroom, while Leo was talking with the Elders,

"darling, I have news about your unborn," a voice said, as Penny appeared from white lights.

"I've only just told Leo, how do you know already?" Piper asked, Penny tapped her nose,

"magic," she replied, "anyway, about your baby, well babies, there's two in there," she began, not giving Piper time to react to the news that she was carrying twins.

"Right, well you see, your children and Phoebe's future child will form the Shadow Witches, three who will rival Pamara's power," Penny continued to explain, before she was orbed back to the afterlife, by the Elders, for telling Piper this.

Suddenly, The Source flamed in and released a fire ball at Piper, she raised her hands to freeze it but it was consumed by dark orbs and shot back at The Source, making him explode, but then reform,

"you are with child, but it would appear her whitelighter powers have been fused with your demonic magic to make them that of a darklighter," he stated. Piper made another gesture and this time a crossbow appeared in her hands, she shot numerous arrows at The Source, but they didn't seem to effect him much, then she felt the urge to stretch out her arm, and when she did, fire released from her palm. He roared in pain as the flames danced across his body, creating burns in his flesh before causing him to blow up into black particles, which fluttered around in the air before reconstituting him and flaming out, Piper smiled at her hands.
