IcantthinkofaFnick- thanks for the review, there will definitely eventually be interaction between the Halliwell cousins.
JA Baker- thanks for the review, the next chapter will be more Stargate SG-1 oriented, some form of chaos, (orbing into the gate room may be involved)
Lucas43- Powers will be seen, but we will have to wait a little while
Amy P. Halliwell- I'm glad you like the story
FeralShadowwolf- I know that the beginning was fluffy, I just had to find a way to get to the main adventure that is yet to come
Angelfan384- glad you like it
mae-E- glad you like the story, there was never a question in my mind about the name, for Phoebe to name her first daughter after their fallen sister.
Chapter 9: Prudence Melinda Halliwell
The Wiccaning had been beautiful. Piper, with Leo, Wyatt, little Chris, Paige, Phoebe, with little Prue in her arms, Daniel by her sides, and Grams who had came to officiate the Wiccaning. Grams took little Prue from Phoebe's arms and walked to the book, and began the ceremony.
"I call forth, from space and time,
Matriarchs from the Halliwell line,
Mothers, daughters, sisters, friends,
Our family spirit without end,
To gather now in this sacred place,
And help us bring this child to grace."
As the spell was said the spirits of the Matriarchs of the Halliwell line circled the room and materialized in front of them. The only one who showed any reaction other than happiness was the amazement on Daniel's face. Phoebe saw this and she was simply amused and took Daniel's arm and smiled.
When the ceremony had ended, and they had all said goodbye to Grams. Phoebe's face was all smiles. Her little girl looked so cute in her white gown. They had settled into the sun room. Wyatt with his favorite fire truck, Chris (who was on a rampage with crawling, was in the playpen with his bear, and Phoebe had put Prue down on her back and she was staring at the reflecting lights that came from the stained glass window.
Just as they were being settled, Paige, who had become the resident Whiteligher as well as a Charmed Ones, got the jingle in her head that she was still getting used to, "Oh, man!" Paige screamed, "We're in the 21st century, you'd think that the elders could use the phone or a pager every once in a while."
The rest of the day was very peaceful, ever since Prue was born demon activity had been down to a minimum. The last time that they had been vanquishing demons, it was because of a premonition and they hadn't let a demon to the house. Once thing that they had come to learn in their years fighting demons was to enjoy the time that you were given that were demon free.
Dinner was almost ready, the table was set, food was ready, the only thing missing was Paige. She was still with the elders. Piper was getting apprehensive, that Paige might miss dinner, when Paige orbed into the kitchen. "Guys, the elders want us to handle a demon that apparently the source had driven out five thousand years ago. He apparently heard that the source had been vanquished and has found a way back home. They want us to take care of it before it can take a foothold on earth."
Phoebe jumped in, ready for action, "What are we talking about exactly?"
"We can use the spell we used to vanquish the source, and we have to go to Colorado Springs. Apparently this is a very nasty parasitical demon that can jump hosts, but when it leaves a host the host dies, so we have to stop it."
Daniel had come into the kitchen after Phoebe, just in time to hear the part about Colorado Springs and a parasitical demon Daniel's mind went flying, "Oh, man you are being sent after the Gu'auld! They got out of the base, I have to call Jack. He has to know about this!"
Phoebe realized what he was talking about, "What honey, what does the military have to do with a demon that we're being sent after?"
"Well, you know the Classified project that I used to work on?"
"Yeah"
"Well, it involved interplanetary travel, and fighting a race of being called the Gu'auld, they are a parasitical being who takes hosts to survive. We have been fighting them for 10 years, and have recently defeated most of the high level Gu'auld, but if they have gotten out of the base, we have to tell Jack, they need to know!"
"No, honey they don't. You capture it, it involves keeping the host trapped with the demon. With our power of three spell, we can vanquish the demon and save the host. It is our job to protect the innocent, and if you call Jack about this, it will involve possible exposure. The last time that happened, I lost a sister. We can handle it, don't worry."
From Daniel's expression, Phoebe could tell that she had won. The sisters left the food on the table and the kids with their dads, and headed for the book. Daniel was torn between being the husband of a Charmed One, wanting to keep her secret, and being a former member of SG-1. He did understand what she was talking about. If they talked to Jack about it, it was possible that word could get back to Kinsey. That man was pure evil, he didn't care if he was a human being. He always had an agenda, and to hell how it affected everyone else.
Daniel followed the girls up to the attic. His beautiful little girl was sound asleep in her bassinet. The charmed ones were at the book, creating the potion that will save the host in the process of stopping the Gu'auld. "Okay, we have to get the Gu'auld to swallow this potion, we can't just throw a vial of it at them."
Daniel, hearing about the potion, he put in his two sense, "Hey, could we give the recipe to the anti-Gu'auld potion. It would save many lives of the hosts. The Tok'ra have a way of extracting a Gu'auld from the host, but it involves technology far beyond our comprehension, this could help us!"
"Honey, we don't even know if this demon is a Gu'auld. The descriptions are the same but…"
"The book said they were driven out 5,000 years ago, right?"
"Yeah, so?"
"According to my Archeological digs, that was the time period that Ra was overthrown by the people in Egypt. Maybe demons and witches banned together to do this because he was an Alien who tried to take over the world?"
"That was the time the Avatars had tried to change the world, it's possible. But we still have to find this parasitical demon and see if you are right about this, and if it is a Gu'auld, then we talk to Jack about giving them the knowledge of the potion."
This was the first time he had seen his beautiful wife like this, a warrior preparing for battle. The last time he had seen people like this it was back on Abados when they were fighting to defeat Ra. This was more than just a soldier going into battle being ordered to. This is more than a job for them, they are fighting for their children and their neighbors. For every demon that they vanquish, Daniel realized, the more innocents will be saved, and that is what they are fighting for.
