It had been nine years since Michael Dylan Halliwell was born. Piper now had three beautiful boys. Eleven-year-old Wyatt, ten-year-old Chris and nine year-old Michael. Piper and Leo also adopted a wonderful daughter, Sixteen-year-old Brook Lynn Michelle Ashton-Halliwell. Phoebe had two children four-year-old Ryan Cole Halliwell and two-year-old Gracy Lynn Halliwell. Paige had one child, who was her world, one-year-old Morgan Kyle Matthews. Things were going good. All of their children were loved. Phoebe still worked at Bay Mirror. Piper worked at the club and Paige started working as a social worker again.

The sister's vanquished demons like usual. Piper worried that one of the kids would get hurt and Leo always assured her the kids would be safe. That was until AJ Michaelson entered their life. AJ was Michael's teacher until he kidnapped him and his two cousins Ryan and Morgan. Two weeks later Ryan and Morgan were returned unharmed, but Michael did not. Three days later Michael was pronounced dead. A pictured had been found on a dead body, the dead body of a person who was believed to be AJ's accomplice. The Halliwells were devastated, but one person did not believe so. Paige never believed for one second that the nephew she loved was dead. Paige would secretly search for him and two months later he was found. Now Michael is finally home, but Michael was not the same little boy who left. Michael had been lied to and made to believe that he was not wanted or loved. Michael shut down. The doctors believed he didn't feel safe in this world and was retreating to a world of his own making. One were he could feel safe.
