FUTURE 2023

Leo Wyatt walked into the manor with Phoebe closely behind him. A teenager followed. He had sandy brown hair and piercing green eyes. Ethan was standing next to Paisley, who had become conscious. Wyatt walked over to Leo. He stared at him before bringing his arm back. Catching him square in the chin, Wyatt continued to punch him. Cole sprang forward and pulled Wyatt off of Leo. Leo stood up, blood dripping from his mouth. No one moved. Finally, Pier spoke up.

"What are you doing here?" She asked icily.

"It's Christmas. A time where family gets together." Leo responded.

"You're not family." Paige spoke up. Phoebe turned to face her.

"So you and Cole, huh? Started a little family. Slut." Phoebe said calmly.

Paige went off. "Last time I checked, you were the slut! You were the one sleeping with your sister's husband! I am not even in the running for a slut! You are!" Cole put his hand over Paige's, to calm her down. Phoebe looked hurt.

Suddenly, something in Pier's mind clicked. She stared at Phoebe. "You're supposed to be dead." Everyone turned to stare at her. Phoebe looked confused. Pier repeated herself. "You. Are. Supposed. To. Be. Dead." She said slowly.

"What are you talking about?" Phoebe asked. Pier shook her head to clear the tears.

"When Aunt Piper and Petey died, you died too. What did you think that I don't remember that night? It's haunted me since then." Pier stated. Wyatt came next to her and put his arm around her shoulders.

"You were sitting on the porch that night. You were waiting until my mom and dad came home. But when you saw them, you panicked. You hid behind the bushes, and they didn't see you. About 10 seconds after they went inside, Aunt Piper showed up. She was never supposed to be there, but Pete…" Pier's voice caught in her throat. "Pete cut his arm and I didn't want to disturb mom and dad, so I called her and she said she'd be over in a minute or two. And you saw her and came out of the shadows. You guys started arguing, but heard me screaming. And then…you died." Pier wiped a tear rolling down her cheek.

Everyone turned to look at Phoebe. Phoebe looked at Leo, but he stared back at her as well. Embarrassed she put her head down and mumbled.

"What was that?" Pier asked.

"I made a deal with the demon." Phoebe said, a little louder. "It was some stupid little deal."

Wyatt managed to ask the question that was on all of their minds. "Are you trying to tell us that in exchange for your nephew and sisters life, you made a deal to stay a live?"

Phoebe nodded sheepishly. This time it was Pier who snapped.

"My little brother died. And it's your entire goddamn fault. I hate you! I hate you so freaking much!" Pier ran at Phoebe, her fists raised. Wyatt managed to intercept her and ended up getting hit in the face. Pier immediately apologized. Then there was complete silence. Again. Finally, Leo spoke up.

"Who are you?" He asked, directing his question towards Ethan.

Ethan looked at Pier and Pier nodded. "Ethan Rockwell." Was his curt reply.

"I mean in relation to the family." Leo said, just as rudely.

"I'm Piper's husband, and Paisley and Wyatt's dad." Ethan said. Leo was about to open his mouth when footsteps were heard coming down the stairs towards them.

Everyone turned towards the stairs and gasped. Smiling, Piper, holding hand with Ethan and carrying Wyatt came down followed by a pregnant Paige and Cole. Pier rushed over to them and hugged them.

Ethan from the future broke through and stood in front of Piper. He reached out and touched her cheek, while his own tears fell to the ground. However the moment was broken rather quickly. Pier yelled in horror when she saw what came down the stairs next.

"Hello everyone." Present Phoebe said cheerfully as she cradled baby Tyler. Leo appeared behind her and waved slightly.
