Eternally Charmed: TheAustin of Powers

Ava was standing in the nursery keeping careful watch over the youngest of the Trudeau-Halliwell children when Prue and Andy orbed into the neonatal care unit. Prue was still dressed in Roger's overcoat and a blue and white hospital gown.

"Ava, how is she?" Prue ran a hand through her dishelmed hair and quickly padded over to the isolette that was holding her infant daughter. Andy was right behind her.

Frowning, Ava thoughtfully stepped aside so that the concerned parents could get a close up look of the their newest daughter. Wires leading to machines seemed to be coming out of the child from all directions. Seeing her like that made it very difficult to believe that she was enchanted.

Prue was the first notice the large looking tube that had been placed into her daughter's throat to provide oxygen and began to cry. "Ava, what's wrong with her? Why is she like that?"

"She has been unable to breathe on her own"

"So she isn't angelic yet?" Andy's hands were now on Prue's shoulders kneading them gently. "Leo!"

"Neither Leo nor Natalie can heal her yet"

"Because she hasn't come into her powers" Andy answered his own question as to why his infant daughter could not respond to a white lighter healing.

"She needs to bond with the two of you before her body will accept a magical healing" Ava explained "and even then what she is suffering from is not demonic. Your baby was born several weeks early and is suffering the plight of a premature infant. Her lungs are still underdeveloped as is the rest of her body. The little Charmed one to be had scarcely weighed two pounds and was about the size of ruler and then some.

"Can we touch her?" Prue asked lifting her puffy eyes. Human touch in the combination with the use of magic was one way that magical parents bonded with their newborn infants. Another was through sensing; when Natalie had abducted Amanda at birth it had taken Andy's power of fading to coax the newborn to connect with them right. Ally's bonding had been instantaneous, born during the middle of demonic attack, which had caused her parents to switch powers Ally had taken to them without forethought and was versed in her powers since day one.

Ava nodded instructing them to place their hands through the sterile gloves, which were connected to the clear plastic bassinet. Prue followed Ava's instructions explicitly and placed her hand inside the sterile glove. Delicately she ran her index finger down the child's thin bony arm.

"She's so little" Born at less than half the birth weight of her two older sisters, the newest Trudeau- Halliwell was destine to become the petite pixie of the bunch.

Andy continued kneading Prue's shoulders "But she'll be just as strong as her sisters". Tenderly he swept a kiss across Prue's cheek, "not to mention as beautiful as her Mother"

The first of the tears started to spill from Prue's lashes as the baby turned her head and opened her eyes. "Andy look!"

"She knows we're here"

"Orb in and out and maybe she'll sense you" Prue commanded hoping the baby would use her tracking abilities and connect with her father the way Amanda had.

"It's worth a shot" Andy orbed out and immediately returned to see that the baby was still looking in Prue's direction. Both Prue and Andy watched as their daughter shudder slightly and then blinked creating a glowing purple light around them.

"She's doing it!" Prue squealed exciting grabbing Andy's arm with her free hand. A bright set of angelic lights then encircled the three of them bonding them in the spiritual nature.

"Congratulations" Ava smiled moving to remove the child from the ventilator. "What's her power?"

"Auric sight and telempathy" Andy answered with pride.

"Auric sight, is also a gypsy power" Ava replied, knowing now that the child had the ability to see the difference between good and evil. "And telempathy is highly coveted." Telempathy was the combination of all three of the mind based powers, premonition, telepathy and empathy; the ability to see, receive and feel thoughts as they occurred in others"

"And if we're lucky, her guardian Paige will eventually teach her to conjure and as well psychokinetics"

"And partially immortality on top of all that?" Ava quipped as she removed the breathing tube, "what more can you ask for"

"A name" Prue said flatly smiling as the first real cries of life flew out of the littlest Halliwell's mouth.

Andy gave Prue a sideways grin as Ava wrapped the child in a blanket and handed her to her mother. "Her name is "Austin. Austin Prudence Trudeau-Halliwell"

"Are you sure?" Prue looked at her husband with uncertainty, "We can call her something else…"

"No" Andy shook his head, letting his hand fallen onto Austin's baldhead. "Now that we know Father Austin's soul is demonic we need something to remember all of the good he did as a priest."

"And what better way to do that, then naming heaven's newest angelic witch/tracer after him." Prue lifted her chin as Andy bent to kiss her.

"I love you," he whispered.

"Spell or no spell no more kissing other women with the exception of our daughter" Prue grinned and clutched his chin playfully with her fingers before looking to Ava. "how long will she need to stay here?"

"Mmm…she'll need to stay until she reaches the weight of a term newborn, so let's plan on a couple of weeks"

Prue's happy face fell slightly, "I can't stay here on Earth that long. The Elders and the Matriarchs will want me back"

"We'll think of something" Andy kissed her again.

Down in the underworld the Source and Dantalian watched the couple through the assistance of an oracle. "They think they have won this battle" The Source clenched his fist, "but they are wrong!"

Yes, they are" Dantalian hissed touching her stomach, "because in my womb, I carry the dark seed which will change their lives and their magic forever"

"How long until you start using the child's powers to manipulate the mortal tracer?"

"It shall not be long, your Excellency. Very soon the child's sensing power to find her father will kick in and when they do, I shall use them to call for the Tracer and not even Prue Halliwell and her Charmed Sisters will be able to stop me from uniting father and daughter"

Attic: Several Hours Later…

Paige knelt at the ritualistic circle and lit several candles with a Scripto. Slowly she stood and blew out a tense breath. "Hear these words, hear my cry, Spirit from the other side, cross now the great divide!"

C'mon, Cmon" Paige whispered mentally at the sensation of a huge whirling wind. "Glenn" she held her breath at the anticipation. What Natalie had said about Glenn processing couldn't be true? I mean Natalie of all people was one of most conniving people she knew, but not to mention the most "play by the rules.

The wind picked up slightly and then vanished dashing Paige's hopes. "There must be something in here" she grumbled stalking over to the book of Shadows. Haphazardly she began to flip through the book looking for any spell that might fill the void in her heart.

"Nothing!" Forcibly she slammed the book shut and turned her back. The book being the book and magically guided by the matriarchs of course opened and magically turned it's pages. "Huh?" Paige looked on with great curiosity as the pages stopped. "Spell to reunite Prue with Andy" Paige read. It was the spell that Patty had written the day that Prue's astral projection escaped and ruined Piper's wedding. Patty wrote the spell to heal her daughters broken heart.

Great power from up above, I ask that you bring back my daughter's first love. What her heart, now denies let it hear this cry. Bring back loves passionate fire, by showing Prue her inner desire".

What if she changed the words to read reunite Paige with Glenn? That could work! Paige thought for a moment more and then began to chant.

"Great power from up above, I ask that you bring back my true love. What my heart now can't deny let it hear this cry. Bring back Glenn's passionate life and let Paige's heart heal without strife". Bright lights began to appear and Paige started to feel hopeful.

"Glenn?" Her hopes were then dashed when Artemus suddenly appeared. "What are you doing here?" Paige's brow bristled and the fine hairs on the back of her neck began to stand up.

"I'm here to see Leo. We're suppose to do some some clean up work," Aretmus answered noting all of the summoning paraphernalia. "Trying to summon somebody; a lost love perhaps?"

Walking over to the candles, Paige promptly blew out the flames. "I was until you showed up"

Artemus face fell into a frown, not that he begrudged himself for helping Leo but he did feel guilty about having used his shapeshifting abilities to deceive Paige. "Paige, I'm really sorry about earlier"

"Are you? You don't even know me" Paige crinkled her face miffed and placed one hand on her hip. "Who are you anyway?"

"My name is Artemus Gordon" Aretmus held out his hand but Paige refused to take it, unimpressed.

"Artemus Gordon, where have I heard that name before?"

"Television" Artemus said flatly, "my parents were big fans of the Wild, Wild, West"

"The Wild, Wild, What?" Paige's face crinkled even more. Though she was curious about this new witch-lighter she wasn't about to let her guard down too far.

"It was show in the sixties" Aretmus replied flatly.

"Oh, I wouldn't know much as the sixties" Paige's mouth formed the perfect "O" as she spoke sardonically.

Artemus moved to pick up the candles off the floor in a gentlemanly fashion, as Paige did the same"My parents were hippies"

"Well that would certainly explain your outdated attire" Paige sauntered over to the table and set the candle's down while Artemus looked down at his clothing. He was dressed in a pair of faded jeans that bore holes in the knees and white button up shirt that resembled the type a swashbuckler would wear.

"Are you always such an ice queen?"

Paige whirled around, with her chestnut eyes blazing with fire, "excuse me?"

"Let's just say the term witch truly describes you"

"Why you?" hissed holding out her palm and calling for a lamp that was missing it's shade "LAMP!" Blue and white orbs flew through into Paige's hand and forcibly she drew back her arm, sending the orbs straight at Artemus.

"And to think I thought we broke the evilness that was inside of you" Artemus quickly formulated a counter attack which included his body turning into a solid mass equivalent to concrete and petrified rock. The lamp instantly shattered against his form and splinter to the ground.

"Hmmph!" Paige pressed her hands to her hip. "so you can mass, big deal"

"I can also, orb shapeshift and partially heal" Atremus returned in a haughty tone as Leo ended the attic with his hands shoved into his pockets.

"Sorry, I'm late, Artie. I had a meeting with the Elders"

"Artie?" Paige screwed up her face what kind of name is that? Oh wait less me guess it goes along with the TV show"

"Actually it's what my friends call me" Aretmus retorted, not happy that Paige had automatically taken a hostile stand with him. What did she know? She didn't have any idea of who or what he was magically speaking.

"Well, I'm certainly not your friend and probably never will be so with that, goodbye, Mr. Gordon" Paige moved away from the table, holding her head high as she exited the room leaving Leo to gaze at the young witchlighter questionably.

"What's with you and Paige?"

Artemus smiled glancing over his shoulder as Paige stalked down the stairs. "Nothing, we're just getting acquainted."

"Of all the nerve!" Paige muttered, entering the hallway where Phoebe had just come out of Amanda's room.

"Paige? You doing okay?"

"I'm fine" Paige said sardonically, peeking over Phoebe to get a good look at Amanda. "How's angel girl?"

Phoebe looked back over her shoulder at the sleeping witch/tracer. Leo said she'll be fine she needs to rest. In all of the excitement, she drained her powers". Piper had left Phoebe in charge while she had taken Ally and Melinda to the store to buy Prue and baby Austin a special gift.

"I hear she's quite the little hero" Paige scratched the back of her head, "I'm really sorry I wasn't there to help you guys out"

"Don't worry about it," Phoebe waved, "the spell backfired, you couldn't help it that you temporarily the starting quarterback for the other side. So how ya doin' really?" Phoebe looked at her little sister carefully. In all of the excitement over trying to save Prue no one had a chance to console Paige over Glenn.

"It hurts a lot but I'm hanging in there" Paige admitted shoving her hands in to the back pocket of her jeans, while fresh tears clouded her eyes.

Noting her sisters pain, Phoebe spontaneously flung her arms around Paige's neck."Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry. Prue, Piper and I we love you so much"

"I know" Paige hugged her back, "It's just gonna take some time. Glenn was my-". Paige's words were cut short as her ears were alerted to the sound of heavy stomping that shook the floor. Phoebe instantly pulled away from her sister, scanning to the end of the hall.

"Ah…ah…it's a rock demon" A large creature resembling the cartoon version of the Thing from the Fantastic Four stood before them. His entire body was made of brown and ashen jagged rocks.

"A rock demon? What the hell is that?"

The demon laughed as it held out it's palms shooting a mound of rocks at the two witches. Rock demons were notorious for t heir power to stone their victims alive.

"I don't think you want to know!" Phoebe sputtered throwing her hands up in front of her face for protection. "Paige hurry do something quick!"

"Force Field!" Paige started to call for her shield of protection, but she was too late. The rock demon had already hurled a piece of jagged stone the size of a basketball at them, toppling Paige to the ground. A thick stream of blood trickled from her left temple, as Phoebe fell to her knees shaking the youngest of the Charmed ones violently.

"Paige! Paige you have to get up!"

The rock demon hurled another set of bullet size rocks at Phoebe causing her to scream as the tiny pebbles made puncture wounds in her skin. "Paige! Help me!"

"Your sister cannot help you" The rock demon continued launching blast after blast until both witches were nearly covered, stoned from head to toe and bloody.
