A/N: A lot of you said you'd rather have Chris with a 'made-up' girlfriend. So I made on up! Lol.

Matt91: Sorry to disappoint, but I didn't feel I needed more with Eric. He was done. Lol. Glad you liked it otherwise!

Charmedchickeva: Glad you liked it!

Prince Halliwell: You'll see . . .

TheCheeseFairy: Yeah! I mean, he was mortal and it seemed the most logical thing to do. Lol.

Moonfairyfire: Hardly! This part (Part Two; the first spin-off from the original story) had a lot more to come, and I have no idea how many chapters it will have! And after that, I have the second spin-off to do. No, this will probably have a total (of all three parts together) of at least 60 chapters, if I get about 20 per part.

Cursedblondie: See my response to Moonfairyfire (right above this)

Charmedluver: Lol. Don't we all hate math! Bleh. My math teacher is odd. But he doesn't give tests! Just 5 point quizzes every morning. Hehe.

Rif: I know! Some of them have so many kids, and kids' kids and powers that I loose track! Yeah, wow. I didn't even realize. I took the little girl and made her into a grown young woman. Lol. And yeah, Eric got his in the end!

C.Charmed24/7: Aw, don't be offended! I ignore people's questions a lot! Lol. My policy is this: Ask any question you want, and I'll answer to the best of my ability. However, if it will give something away to either you or others readers who do read through my whole boring Authors Note, then I ignore it because, 9 times out of 10, the answer is in the following chapters.

Ilovedrew88: Yeah. It's sweet isn't it?

Important Note: I've been really bad about updating lately, and I've been neglecting some of my other fics to do this one and "Breaking Point." I'm really sorry, but it's been so crazy here and . . . some things have come up and it's just, well, I'll try to be as diligent as possible, but pleased bear with me if I don't update very quickly. I'd never just stop posting and leave you guys guessing. Unless I specifically say it's the end, always expect a new chapter to be coming!

Without further adieu, since I know you all are getting tired of this Author's note, here's Ch 34!

Please enjoy and please review!

(Two Months Later)

"Melinda, time to get up. You have classes, remember"

Melinda groaned and put the pillow over her head.

Someone pulled the pillow away from her and Melinda was forced to look up. It was Wyatt.

"Go away. I'm staying home," she replied bitterly.

"You've missed too many classes. You need to go," Wyatt sighed.

"So everyone can see that I'm a pregnant eighteen-year-old freak? I don't think so. I haven't gone to class since before I found out I was pregnant. Why would I go now?" she snapped.

Wyatt gritted his teeth. Three more months . . . three more months and the mood swings would be gone. The three AM toilet runs would be gone. The bizarre cravings would be gone. Melinda would give birth in three months and he could look forward to – oh god – three AM baby cries!

"Fine. Well, Chris and I are taking Kat and Sammie (Katelyn and Samantha, Wyatt and Chris's girlfriends) to lunch at Derek's Deli. Want to come?" Wyatt asked.

Melinda shook her head sharply. "And be the only one with out someone?"

"You have the baby," Wyatt joked.

Melinda glowered at him. "Go away. I'm staying here, in bed, and sulking. You and Chris can go have great lives."

Wyatt frowned, but got up and left. He knew better than to argue with Melinda in her mood-swing pregnant state.

The moment he was out of the room, the door was telekinetically slammed shut, courtesy of Melinda. However, as far as Wyatt knew, Melinda didn't have telekinesis. It must have been, he concluded, the baby's powers influencing Melinda. Then again, how could the baby be telekinetic?

Oh well, he thoughtWe have three more months before we need to worry about that.

Shaking his head, Wyatt went down to the sunroom where Chris was waiting with Kat and Sammie.

"She's not coming?" Sammie asked, frowning.

"That girl really needs to get out more," Kat said. "Oh well, maybe her surprise baby shower will cheer her up."

"If," Sammie noted, "we can get her out of the house long enough to set up."

"Let's just go," Chris said. By the look on Wyatt's face, he knew it was time to go. He had heard the door slamming (so had Kat and Sammie, but Chris had fibbed and gotten them to stay with him and not go investigate.)

Together, the two couples left.

…………………………………………………………………………………………….

Melinda hadn't left her room, only once to orb to the kitchen where she grabbed a big tub of Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Carvel Ice cream and a spoon. Then she orbed back to her room, turned on the TV, and munched on her very fattening snack while channel surfing.

Suddenly, mid-way through a very romantic scene between Kate and Matthew in How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days, two things happened: Melinda had the sudden urge to pee and someone knocked on the front door.

Grumbling, Melinda set the ice cream on her night table and clicked the TV off, just as Matthew's character was pulling Kate's shirt up over her head in the bathroom scene. Grudgingly, she wobbled (her stomach had gotten pretty big, between the whole being pregnant thing and the fact that she had weird cravings and was eating for two) out of her room, down the stairs, and to the door. The fact that she was dressed in frilly pink maternity drawstring sweats and a white tank top, sized to accommodate her 5-month pregnant belly, with some kind of childish picture on it, didn't bother her.

The person knocked again.

"Coming!" Melinda grouched, grumbling about bad timing and annoying people, coming and knocking on people's doors at eight in the morning. She reached the door, pulled it open, and – Her jaw dropped.

"Scott!" she cried, now wishing she had on a bathrobe; he still didn't know she was pregnant.

Well, he did now.

Scott stared at Melinda's bulging belly in confusion and understanding, all at the same time. Then he looked up at her with hurt gleaming in his eyes.

Melinda gripped the doorknob. "Maybe you should come in. I think we need to talk."

………………………………………………………………………………………………

"The baby shower is supposed to start at eleven," Sammie said, through a mouthful of eggs and sausage.

"Okay, but it's already Nine. How are we supposed to get Ms. Doom and Gloom out of the house while you guys set up and stuff?" Chris asked his girlfriend, sipping his OJ.

"Easy," Kat replied, rolling her sea green eyes.

"Oh? How easy?" Wyatt asked, quirking a brow in questioning.

"Uhm," Kat replied, turning crimson. "You guys will think of something. Tell her you want to take her shopping for baby stuff. But don't really buy much, or fake being sick right before you get into the store and come home. That will give us plenty of time."

Sammie nodded in agreement, taking a bite of bacon.

"Maybe this baby shower thing isn't a good idea," Wyatt said, frowning as he chewed a peace of butter and syrup-drenched pancake. "Mel isn't really in a partying mood."

"Because of Scott. Yeah, yeah," Kat said, wiping her mouth with her paper napkin. "But she needs to get over that. She hasn't heard from him since she saw him in New York, right?"

Wyatt and Chris exchanged looks, then nodded at their girlfriends.

When Melinda had run off, and been absent for three months, they had told their girlfriends that she was in New York City, a much needed vacation to try and get over Scott And their unofficial break-up and her then-newfound pregnancy.

What else could they say? That she had run away, then been kidnapped? Right. As Children of Light, demon attacks were rare and they were able to enjoy their lives for the most part. So, they had avoided telling their girlfriends about their special powers. They had been forced to lie only a few times, and this had been one of them.

"That's not something you easily get over, Kat," Chris said, frowning. "They were really in love. The guy got her pregnant, for god-sakes. Love like that doesn't just die. It didn't with our parents," he added, referring to Piper and Leo's unconditional love, even when they had taken a 'break' from each other.

Kat shrugged. "I guess. I mean, we could always change the date-"

"Or not have it at all. It could just be a get-together for Melinda and us at the Manor. No other guests included," Chris suggested.

Sammie and Kat nodded grudgingly and agreed that the baby shower would be called off.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

Scott sat on the couch next to Melinda, in stunned silence.

Melinda was holding her breath, praying Scott believed her and didn't freak. She had told him about being pregnant and not telling him because they had been arguing and not speaking at the time, then she had run off to New York City; neither had spoken to each other since her return home.

"Y-you're sure it's mine?" Scott questioned, as if hoping it weren't true.

Melinda nodded. "You're the only guy I've ever been with."

Scott nodded, his mouth dry and his tongue heavy. "So, are you keeping the baby?"

Melinda's eyes widened. "Of course!" she cried, shocked Scott would even ask such a silly question.

Scott nodded, biting his lip. Melinda twirled a strand of her dark hair between her fingertips.

Both wanted to kiss and make-up, but neither wanted to be the first to do so.

Finally, they both tried to speak at once:

"Melly-"

"-Scott."

They smiled slightly at each other. "You go first," they both said at once.

Melinda shook her head. "You go first."

Scott nodded, taking her hand in his. "I don't know what happened that night when you waited for me at my apartment. I really don't. I was going to meet you at the apartment and I just – didn't. I can't explain it, and I can't justify it. When I found out you had run away, I was devastated and I blamed myself for being such a jerk. Honestly, Melly, I never meant to hurt you and I hope we can put the past behind ourselves and focus on our future and raising our child together."

Melinda nodded, suddenly feeling very emotional as tears swirled in her eyes and obscured her vision, making it blurry.

"I hope we can, too," she replied in an almost-whisper.

Scott smiled and leaned in close. He stroked her hair.

And they kissed.

(A/N: Whoop, whoop. Ah, so many of you didn't think Scott and Melinda would get back together. I mean, seriously, don't you people know how I operate by now? Lol. You clearly don't know me at all – but that's also a good thing! But seriously, did you really think I would keep them apart?)
