Chapter 28
Chris: I'm bored.
Wyatt: how could you be bored?
Chris: there is absolutely nothing to do around here.
Wyatt: well I guess the shock of it all has worn off by now it's been what two months?
Chris: yeah the only exciting part about all of this is Perri is almost due.
Wyatt: so I guess you miss having to be on you toes at all times of the day huh?
Chris: yeah and having to look behind my shoulder every five seconds to make sure no one is on my trail.
Paris: Help!
Chris: Paris?
Paris: my powers their gone! Chris my powers are gone!
Wyatt: what do you mean their gone?
Paris: I can't orb!
Chris: I can't either.
Wyatt: something's up.
Paris: mom!
Paige: what honey?
Wyatt, Chris and Paris: We can't orb.
Paige: ok maybe it's a white lighter thing.
Paris: mom I can't make energy balls either.
Paige: maybe we should call a family meeting.
(A few minutes later everyone was sitting in the oversized living room.)
Piper: All right people has everyone tried to use magic and fail?
Everyone: Yes!
Piper: ok Leo did you try asking the Elders…
Leo: I can't orb Piper how am I supposed to go ask them?
Piper: good point. Ok did anyone use magic for personal gain?
Everyone: No.
Phoebe: Piper this seems awfully too familiar, remember before Wyatt was born when magic was down?
Piper: yeah but that shouldn't happen again since it's not supposed to happen for another 100 years.
Paige: maybe I should go brush up on my astrology because I keep on hearing all of these weird things from the kids in school and talk about something big in the universe happening.
Penny: The festival of lights is tomorrow night and the solar eclipse alignment of all the planets is tomorrow night too.
Paige: never mind.
Piper: so it's happening again, a twice-blessed baby will be born tomorrow. Just like before.
Perri: um Piper, do you think it might be my baby?
Phoebe: it would make sense.
Chris: you mean your going to have the baby tomorrow?
Paige: it looks like it.
Perri: I don't know if I'm ready for this.
Prue: hey if I'm ready your ready.
Piper: ok so let's get this place ready for a baby!
Wyatt: wait mom shouldn't we be worried about evil attacking?
Piper: no magic should be down everywhere so until Perri's baby is born we can't do anything about it.
Penny: um I'm going to go check out a hunch at magic school.
Paige: yeah I'll go with you I want to make sure no one is freaking out there.
Phoebe: good idea, Piper you know I would love to help you set this place up for another baby but I really have to write the column for tomorrow and I am really behind. Sorry.
Piper: that's ok I have plenty of help, go!
Leo: um I had better contact as many of my charges as I can and let them know.
Piper: in other words if we need you you'll be glued to the phone.
Leo: sorry.
Piper: that's all right; I still have Cole and Richard.
Richard: um Piper I was thinking about going to tell my family what's going on so they don't freak or anything and I know a few magical friends who are going to be worried too, I'll be back for the big event don't worry.
Piper: Cole? Are you in or out?
Cole: me um baby stuff isn't my thing I just spoil my kids. I'm going to work and finish up this case.
Piper: anyone else want to bail on me?
Prue: we're here for you aunt Piper.
(Suddenly a vortex opened up in the middle of the living room and nine kids stepped out.)
Piper: who the hell are you?
The oldest girl: You have got to help us.
(Then 19 older kids walked through the portal before it closed.)
The oldest girl for the group of nine: I can't believe you followed us!
The oldest girl from the second group: Were cousins Parker I have to look out for you, Grams would have a fit if I didn't.
The other oldest girl: She's dead Jamie get over it and move on, all of us have.
Jessica: Jamie?
Chris: Parker?
Piper: Grams?
A younger boy: Good going guys.
Piper: will someone please explain to me what's going on!
Jamie: later Grams we have some things to discuss, like your baby.
Parker: I am not a baby.
Jamie: well you are in this time.
Perri: My baby? What about my baby?
Jamie: well if it's born tomorrow it will restore magic but it will also give the inner circle of Demons the power to appoint a new source.
Piper: well what does it matter if we wait another day for her to give birth and restore magic.
Jamie: because in that extra day it will be enough time to kill them before they appoint a new source.
Perri: but if we delay my birth that could me complications.
Jamie: trust me everything will be fine.
Piper: I don't think we can take that risk; we're just going to have to vanquish the new source.
Jamie: but Grams…
Piper: Don't you but Grams me whatever this new source wants we can take him.
Perri: are you sure Piper?
Piper: yes, now everyone get to work preparing for the new baby. Not you future people you are going to sit right her and tell me who you are, and don't you dare pull that future consequences thing on me I invented that rule.
