Em Reaf hurled an energy ball at the wall in frustration. "Damn it," she muttered to herself. She watched as the energy ball burned strait through the wall and smiled a little. She LOVED the reminder of how powerful she was. Leaning back Em Reaf's smile quickly faded as she remembered why she was so frustrated.

She groaned, her plan had failed. "Come on Em Reaf, pull yourself together," she muttered out loud. Closing her eyes she shook her head. How could she forget about the Halliwell protection shield? Her plan had been almost flawless, but the shield messed everything up. Last year (October 2005) after Wyatt had almost gotten killed by a demon who was using his powers on him from miles away Piper, Paige, and Phoebe cast a spell protecting future Halliwell's from evil powers used from far away. Even worse, if a demon tried to use their powers from a distance and it was blocked by the shield, their powers were useless against all Halliwell's.

Not only had Em Reaf's plan failed, but she was now powerless against her target. Her plan had been to been to force Kelly into a coma (a unique power she had traded for at the demonic market) and then turn her evil in her unconscious state. Of course she had completely forgotten about the shield.

She was stuck...she didn't know what she should do next. Her brain was screaming at her to give up, and she would have...but she could just picture her dad laughing at her for backing down. And even though he was dead, Em Reaf knew that she had to find another way to turn Kelly evil.

"Oh my god, you weren't kidding!" Piper stared down at Kira in shock. Suddenly realizing that Paige was still crying Piper turned her attention towards her youngest sister. "Paige honey its ok, you've still got Kira. She's just….older." Paige nodded wiping unshed tears from her eyes. She looked over at her daughter carefully studying her. "Mom it really is ok," Kira said. "Believe me you don't want to go through the stress of raising me as a baby. If you trust me on anything trust me on that."

A look of uncertainty flashed across Paige's face, but it disappeared as Kyle leaned over embracing her tightly. "Ok," Paige said softly, still a hint of doubt in her voice. "But let's just get home. It's been a really long day and I'm sick of the hospital food." Phoebe nodded in agreement. She began to help Paige get out of bed but Piper stopped her. "We have a slight problem. We can't just take Kira back to the manor…what about Kelly?"

Paige gave Piper a look of confusion. "What's wrong with Kelly? Is she ok?" Piper closed her eyes for a moment. "She's ok, she'll just have to get used to this." Forcing a grin Piper led the way out of the hospital room. Deep down though she wasn't sure Kelly was going to take this too well.

Kelly yawned and opened her eyes slowly. She could hear the birds chirping outside and felt the warm sun beating through her window. Stretching out beneath her blanket Kelly felt a little calmness wash over her.

Even though she knew everything was wrong at the moment it didn't matter. She also knew that the minute she stepped out of bed reality would come rushing back to her and everything would matter again which is why she decided to just lay in bed for a few seconds listening to the familiar sounds of the manor in the morning pretending that everything was ok.

For just one moment everything was like usual, but the usualness of the morning faded quickly as Kelly heard the manor door open and then shut. Voices drifted up to her bedroom, most of which were familiar to her. Suddenly Kelly realized that one of the voices belonged to Paige. Snapping up in bed she felt a wave of anxiety wash over her. Had the baby been born? Was she in the manor? "Oh my god what if she is?" Kelly whispered to herself while climbing out of bed and beginning to pace around the room. "What if my days as a charmed one are already over?"

Kelly held her breath waiting for something to come to her. Something that could erase the fact that this could be the last day she had before she received the 'uncharming ceremony' that would officially remover her from the power of three. Then it hit her. Breathing out with a sigh of relief Kelly sat down on her bed. A newborn baby wasn't old enough to fight demons or recite spells. She still had a few more years. Feeling extremely comforted by this Kelly decided to venture downstairs. Opening her bedroom door she was surprised to see Kris sitting in the hallway. She had forgotten she was there.

Kris looked up from the spell book she was reading and her eyes met Kelly's. "Hey Kel how are you doing?" she asked. Kelly smiled. "Better. Much better." She took a step forward to get to the staircase but Kris stopped her. "Don't go downstairs," she said. Suddenly Chris emerged from his room. "She's going to find out anyway Kristen. They're sharing a room."

"What?" Kelly asked in complete confusion. Who was she sharing a room with? What was she going to find out? Kris ignored her. "Christopher," she began, "I don't think aunt Piper wants her to know now." "Wants me to know what?" Kelly asked growing impatient. Again she was ignored. Chris's eyes darted from Kris to Kelly. "Too bad," he exclaimed grabbing Kelly's wrist orbing her downstairs.

Kelly looked around the room. Everyone was sitting on the couch, her mom and dad, Phoebe, Paige, Kyle, and- "Mom who the hell is that?" she asked pointing to the girl sitting next to Kyle. She began to get a sinking feeling in her stomach. The girl extended her hand. "I'm Kira, you know…your cousin."
