A/N: Sorry about the long wait. First I had camp, then we were in Branson, and then I was at my Grandma's. I know, I know. Terrible excuses, but I didn't exactly have the internet in any of those places now, did I?

Anything is Possible

Chapter Four

By The Spooky Mulder

2005

Once he was situated, Cole began. "First I have to ask a question," he said. When the sisters didn't respond he continued. "How much has Pamela told you?"

"We know that she's from the year 2021 and that either Piper or Phoebe is her mother," Leo said. He squinted. "I'm going on a long shot in guessing that it's not Piper."

Despite himself, Cole made a face. "Yeah…considering you two are still married in the future-" Cole let that hang. Finally, he looked to Phoebe. "I do have an explanation," he said. Phoebe was very pale. Not only did she have a daughter, she had a daughter with Cole.

She gulped. "You better."

Cole took a deep breath. "Okay. This is 2005, right?"

Everyone nodded. "You have to understand that I can't tell you the exact details of some things, because once you know you might be able to prevent it." Cole shot a glance at Paige. "In about a year," he said, "I come back. I'm not going to tell you exactly how, but I will say that most of you were happy. Phoebe was, anyway. Somehow when I came back I was Belthazor again. Phoebe and I got re-married, and, well…" He gestured at Pamela. When none of the Charmed Ones said anything, Cole continued. "A demon in the future tried to steal the Book, but Pamela saved it." Cole smiled at his daughter. "Unfortunately, the demon threw something called a 'time ball' at her, and it sent her here." Pamela nodded. "It was purple," she said.

Cole nodded. "I found the demon. He's gone now. I basically just came to get Pamela and try to explain some of this mess to you."

"So, wait," Phoebe said. "You just drop in and tell us all of this, then plan to leave? Just like that?"

Cole shrugged. "Well, there's not much else I can do."

Leo, who had been thinking the entire time, spoke up. "Maybe we should all take a potion and wipe this from our memory."

"Can we do that?" Paige asked.

"Well, usually not, but I think an exception could be made in this case," Leo answered, looking at Piper. Piper nodded in agreement. "I think that would be for the best," she said.

Cole looked at his family. "If that's what you guys want. We should be going now."

Pamela looked at everyone. "Thanks," she said. "I'll see you in the future." She walked up to Cole and wrapped her arms around him, glad that she was safe and going home. "Let's go, Daddy," she said. Cole gave one last wave to the sisters, then shimmered back to his time.

Phoebe and Piper were making the potion downstairs. "I just can't believe it," Phoebe said. "I'm going to have a daughter- with Cole."

Piper shrugged. "Maybe it's not so bad. From the way he talked, you seem happy. I really do think it's best if we just forget all of this." Phoebe nodded. "Yeah. It's ready. Let's go find Paige and Leo."

They went upstairs, and everyone drank the potion. Within seconds they were all staring at each other, wondering what the hell they were doing in the attic.

2021

The second Cole and Pamela appeared back in their time, Phoebe flung herself at them. "Pammy! I'm so happy you're okay!" she sobbed, squeezing her daughter.

Pamela, who was happy to see her as well, could only choke out a hello because Phoebe was hugging her so hard.

"Phoebe, honey," Cole said. "It would be a shame if after all that hard work you were to strangle our daughter."

Phoebe let go. "Sorry," she said sheepishly. "I'm just glad everything's okay!"

After Phoebe got her hugs, Piper and Paige took their turns. "So, the past us-es took everything okay?"

Cole shrugged. "Yeah, but you-they- whatever- took a memory potion so nothing would be changed."

Leo nodded. "That's smart," he said. Cole smiled at his brother-in-law. "You should think so. It was your idea." Piper smiled at her husband. "Of course it was," she said.

Pamela looked at everyone. "What do you say we go out and eat?" she said.

Everyone agreed, and they all went and stuffed their faces.

A/N: Yes, I know. An interesting ending to say the least. I'm sorry this was so short, but it was either this or no ending at all. Please tell me what you think! Review!
