Declaimer: I don't own Charmed.
Chapter One
"Okay," Piper Halliwell began sheepishly. "Since we're doing confessions, with Chris telling me his mine and Leo's son and all, I got something I sorta want to tell you."
"Do we need to sit down?" Phoebe asked.
"That would probably be a good idea." Piper replied.
"Is it that bad?" Paige asked through her hands.
"I think its worse." Piper said.
"You think?" Chris asked.
"Well I know then." She said.
"Are you going to tell us or just keep us in suspense?" Leo asked.
"How would you feel if I said I was moving to Spain, with Wyatt?" Piper asked.
She watched shock, anger and confusion spread across their faces.
"I' m not," She said. "But be prepared to be even more shocked and confused."
"Hi," Phoebe stuck her hand up. "What could be worse than that?"
"How about the fact that you have four nieces you didn't know about?" Piper suggested.
"Your kiddin' right?" Paige asked. "Please tell me your kiddin'. You've got to be kiddin' Piper."
"It's a joke." Leo said. "It's a joke like you moving to Spain. Right Piper?"
"Wrong." Piper said guiltily. "There are daughters of Halliwell women, Charmed Ones, that you didn't know about. And their damn powerful witches."
Phoebe and Paige were pail with shook, Leo's eyes were wide and his jaw hung open. Chris just looked amazed.
"I'd feel much better if one of you said something." Piper said.
"Hang on a second sweetie," Phoebe said. "We're just suffering from deep psychological shock."
"What are their names?" Paige asked after what seamed an eternity.
"Caterin Amanda Halliwell, aka Cat, Kattie Louise Halliwell, Jessica Mari Halliwel, aka Jess or Jessie, and Rebecca Victoria Halliwell." Piper replied visibly brightening. "Cat's 14, Kattie's 12, Jessie's 10, and Beca, that's Rebecca's 8."
"You had a baby when you were 16?" Phoebe said.
"No Prue did," Piper said softly. "Cat's Prue's daughter. Kattie, Jess and Beca are mine."
"I hate to be obvious," Chris said. "But who the hell are the fathers?"
"They all live with Cat's dad." Piper said.
"And Beca and that lots fathers?" Chris asked.
"I don't want to talk about him." Piper snapped. "And what do you mean fathers? Who do you think I am?"
"Well there were some roomers in the future." Chris said.
The door bell rang.
"I will get that." Piper said stumbling to her feet. "Oh major head rush! Feel free to talk among yourselves."
She left the room.
"Okay," Chris said quickly. "There were stories about this in the future, fairytales or folk law if you like, about the four daughters of the Charmed Ones. Cat, Kattie, Jessica and Rebecca. But I never imaged they could be true, not even in my wildest dreams. They had, or have I suppose, a mythical reputation as powerful women, who are on no account to be messed around with."
"Like their mothers." Leo murmured.
"They were the only thing stopping the world from going under. I just never imagined they were real!" Chris went on at such a pace. "This is just so amazing! It's fantastic!" He finished up. "Fantastic!"
"You knew about this and you didn't tell us!" Phoebe screamed getting to her feet. "How could you not tell us?" She demanded.
"I didn't know Chris retorted calmly. "It was just a well loved myth in the future. It gave people hope in a hopeless situation, that's all."
"You should have told us." Paige whimpered.
"No." Leo said forcefully. "Piper should have told you, she should have told all of us." He sounded extremely angry. "We had the right to know."
"She couldn't tell you," A new voice said. "It wasn't her decision, well not totally."
Piper and a strange man, tall, tanned with dark hair and deep brown eyes now stood behind them.
"Who?" Paige stammered. "Who's, who's, who's this?"
"Hi everyone," He said. "Have you told them Piper?"
Piper nodded.
"Well then I'm Catherin's father, Ants."
"Ants?" Leo said raising an eyebrow "What sort of a name is that?"
"Short for Anthony." Ants replied. "Now I'm guessing, your Leo, your Phoebe, I like the new hair style by the way, your Paige, and your Chris. Right? I've herd a lot about you guys. Your all the girls talk about."
"They've never met us." Phoebe said softly. "We don't know what they look like; we didn't know they existed an hour ago. How do they know what we're like?"
"Phoebe you didn't really think I'd let your nieces grow up with out knowing who you are." Piper said. "I just couldn't tell you about them."
"Where are they?" Chris asked. "I'd really like to meet them."
"There with my parents for the afternoon." Ants informed them. "Piper wasn't sure how you'd react or if she was even going to tell you." He sat down in an arm chair. "And they hate your guts Chris; they wouldn't want to meet you. So they would want to meet you for the soul purpose of killing you."
"Halliwell women." Leo said plainly.
"So what did I do to piss them off?" Chris asked.
"They blame you for braking up Piper and Leo's marriage. In their opinion it's all you fault they lost their step dad. Cat hates you. But not as much as Kattie, Jess and Beca do. Those three have some how got it into their heads that if you weren't here they'd be able to live with their mom and little brother." Ants said. He looked pointedly at Piper. "They all want to know when you and Wyatt are coming to visit. They miss you loads Piper."
"And I miss my darling girls." Piper said with a sad smile. "We could meet up tomorrow at Golden Gate Park."
"Can me and Phoebe come?" Paige asked.
"Actually," Piper said. "Ants can you go get them now, it's gona take some getting used to, not sneaking around. They can come here and finally meet their aunties."
"Okay," Ants said getting up to leave. "I'll be back soon. They're going to be so existed."
