The Enchanted Ones

A/N: thanks for all the reviews!!!!!!! Also, the song that was in the last chapter was Red Rag Top by Tim McGraw

Disclaimer: No, sad as it is, I do not own charmed. I do, however, own Paetyn, Pandora, and Paris.

February 22nd

"Piper, if you don't hurry up, we are going without you!" Phoebe screamed up the stairs. Turning to Paige, she said, "What is taking her so long? Even Leo's been ready for the past ten minutes."

"What's that you're saying about me?" Leo asked as he walked in from the kitchen, clutching an apple.

"Nothing. We were just wondering why Piper's taking so long. Any insight you'd like to offer?" Paige replied.

"Oh, she's probably just nervous." He said, in between bites of the apple.

"What is there to be nervous about?" Paige asked.

"It has been twelve years since she last saw Pandora. I think it's pretty safe to assume that she's not exactly the same now as she was when she was three months old. And plus, the thought of seeing Prue's daughter probably stirred up a lot of old memories for her." Phoebe spoke up.

"Then why aren't you nervous, Pheebs? I mean, you knew her and all, before she was adopted."

"Yeah, I did, but when she was born I was sixteen, and I had that whole 'rebellious teenager' thing going on. I mostly avoided the house at all costs, especially when Prue was here. We didn't exactly get along back then, and unfortunately that led to my not really spending much time with Pandora. I'm anxious to see if she's anything like Prue was at that age, of course. But Piper.she just knew a whole lot more about the adoption in general, not just the baby. She knows what it's like to have to give up your baby."

Paige nodded, wishing more than ever that she had known Prue.

Piper sat on her bed, slowly brushing her hair, and thinking. I wonder if Pandora will be anything like Prue was at twelve. God, it's been so long. I can't believe she's twelve already. It seems like just yesterday she was born.

FLASHBACK

"Push, Prue! Just a little more, you can do it!" Grams yelled to her oldest granddaughter.

Prue strained and screamed, but soon her daughter was out. She cradled her in her arms, Andy, the father, sitting on the bed next to her. "We've got to stop doing this, Andy. We can't take care of a child, and I can't bear to let go of another daughter."

END FLASHBACK

Piper sighed. What if she doesn't like us? How are we going to tell her that her mother and her father are both dead? How are we going to explain that they both were killed, and by demons no less? What if she doesn't accept her magic? How are we even going to tell her that she's a witch? What if-

"Piper, some time this century would be nice!" Her thoughts were cut short as her youngest sister's voice permeated the air.

"I'll be there in a minute!" She yelled down to her sisters and husband. She put down the hairbrush, and quickly tied her hair back into a ponytail, then hurried down the stairs. "Okay. I'm here."

Leo put his arm around Piper. "To Texas?"

"To Texas," Phoebe repeated. Paige placed her arm on Phoebe's shoulder, nodded, and then the four disappeared in a swirl of blue orbs.

A/N: I am so sorry that I took so long to get this chapter up, I had so much crap for school that I barely had any time to work on it. I'm not sure when I'll get the next chapter up. Hopefully I'll get it up on the weekend, but it might take longer than that. Expect it, at the latest, around Thanksgiving.
