AUTHOR DISCLAIMER: I do not own Charmed. If I did, I wouldn't be writing this fanfic. I would be too busy writing some awesome charmed episodes! None of these characters are my own and I may have borrowed some of the existing storylines from the show, but other than that, I've made the rest up.

PART 2

AT P3

Piper is sitting down at a table, watching a band audition when she sees a glow from behind the bar. Leo has just orbed in to P3 and he stands up and looks around for Piper. When the band finishes playing Piper stands up to see if anyone saw Leo orb in. When she realises no one saw him, she tries to get the band to hurry up and leave.

"Thanks a lot for coming in and auditioning, guys. Don't call me, I'll call you."

Piper rolled her eyes, the band were horrible. She gestured to Leo to follow her into the storeroom where they could talk in private.

"Leo? What are you doing here?" Piper asked her husband. He gave her one of those sad, serious looks he always gave her when something bad happened.

"Piper, it's about the kids..." Leo started, but Piper cut him off.

"Oh my god, has something happened?"

"A demon has taken them."

"What? Are you sure they haven't orbed themselves out?" Piper knew that they were smart, powerful kids.

"The Elders warned me about it happening and when I got to the Manor, Phoebe and Paige had just fought off some demons. I'll orb you home." Leo took Piper's hand and orbed her home.

AT THE MANOR

Piper and Leo orb in to the attic. Paige is scrying for Chris and Wyatt and Phoebe is writing a spell to send the Future Chris and Future Wyatt back to where they came from. The Future Chris and Wyatt are downstairs in the kitchen, eating.

"What the hell is going on?" Piper asked her sisters as soon as her feet were on the ground, "Paige, I leave you alone with them for two minutes and they vanish..."

"Hey, Piper, this isn't Paige's fault." Phoebe tried calming her older sister down, "I had a premonition that this was going to happen, I am equally to blame."

"I'm sorry Paige" Piper said apologetically, "I guess I'm just a bit..."

"Upset? Worried? Angry?" Paige empathised with her, "You have every right to be, Piper. Don't worry; we'll get them back."

Piper knew her sister was right. She nodded at Paige and went down to the kitchen for some comfort food.

"So, what did you see in your premonition?" Leo asked Phoebe when Piper had left the room.

"Exactly what happened." She replied, "A demon attacked and then took Wyatt and Chris. What more was there to see?"

Paige looked up from her scrying and looked around the attic.

"Um...did Piper just go down to the kitchen?"

"Uh oh." Phoebe realised that Piper was in for a nasty shock.

IN THE KITCHEN

Piper walked in to the kitchen to find Future Wyatt and Chris eating cookies and drinking milk on the counter.

"Mom!"

Piper put her hands up to blow the strangers up, but stopped when she noticed they were only kids.

"Who are you?"

"Uh...we're your sons." Wyatt said, as if it was obvious.

"My...what?" Piper yelled, "Phoebe! Paige!"

Phoebe and Paige were already running down the running down stairs.

"Yes, Piper?" Paige asked innocently.

"Can someone please tell me...what are my sons from the future, doing here?"

"That's a good question!" Phoebe said, turning to Paige, "and Paige has the answer!

"What? I do?" Paige was caught off guard, "Oh, that's right, I do! See, Wyatt and Chris from the future told me that they were reading something in the Book Of Shadows and then BAM, they were here!"

Piper turned to Future Wyatt and Chris, who nodded their heads in agreement.

"My theory is," Paige continued, "that we send them here in the future, because we know that they could be in trouble. Or, we send them here because we know that in the future, we're going to send them here."

"Wait a minute." Piper shook her head, trying to make sense of all this. "You're telling me that, supposedly, we send them back here in the future, but only because we know that they come here in the first place?"

After thinking about it, Paige nodded her head.

"Yes! I think..."

"Right!" Phoebe wanted to move things along, "Now that we've got that covered, we have to work on a way to find this demon that took Chris and Wyatt."

"Problem is, we don't know what demon took them." Paige pointed out.

"What do you mean, you don't know what demon took them? Didn't you see it happen?" Piper was one very pissed off mother right now.

"We did, but there was another demon acting as a decoy that distracted us from getting a look at the demon." Paige tried to explain. "Piper, we didn't even see the demon leaving with Chris and Wyatt."

"Well, maybe they orbed themselves out when the demons appeared." Piper put her theory forward, "It's not the first time they've done something like that to protect themselves."

"But Piper, don't you think they would have orbed themselves back by now?" Phoebe was being the logical sister today.

"Maybe they got lost, or slipped through the cracks into another dimension," Piper didn't want to believe that demons had her children, "like Paige did when she vanquished Cole."

"It is possible." Paige agreed.

"Has Leo tried sensing them yet?" Phoebe asked Piper.

"Leo!" Piper called.

Leo orbed into the kitchen. He looked at the two boys sitting at the table with a frown.

"Who are they?"

"I'll tell you later. Have you tried sensing the boys yet?"

"Yes, I have." Leo replied, " I can't sense them at all, but I know they're still alive. So, who are they?" He pointed to his sins.

"Apparently, they are Wyatt and Chris from the future." Piper answered.

"Are you sure? They could be impostors or demons of some kind."

Paige smiled at Piper.

"Trust me, they're your flesh and blood. Wyatt here is a clean freak like Piper. He cleaned the demonic mess up in the wave of his hand."

Piper raised her eyebrows, obviously impressed.

"Really?"

"It was nothing." Wyatt was trying to be modest, "Just something I learnt from magic school."

"So magic school is still going strong?" Phoebe asked the two boys, "I bet you get picked on cos your Aunt is the principal, eh?"

"Sometimes," Chris replied, "but most of the time the kids are cool with it."

"Ok, that's enough talk about the future." As much as Piper wanted to talk to them about the future, she also knew the risks, "We don't want to change it too much, do we?"

"There are some things I wouldn't mind changing." Chris said softly, looking at Leo.

"I suggest we look at the Book Of Shadows," Piper took charge, "see if we can find anything about parallel universes or astral planes..."

"You really think that they orbed themselves to a different place, and they weren't kidnapped?" Phoebe knew that Pipers mothers instinct had gotten them out of a few tight squeezes before.

"Yeah, I do." Piper said.

"So do I." Leo agreed with his wife, "I think that if they were really in trouble, Wyatt would orb them out."

"Why would Wyatt orb us out?" Chris asked him indignantly, "I can orb too!"

"I know you can," Leo tried to explain. "It's just because Wyatt is older than you and his powers are more advance than yours."

"Whatever..." Chris rolled his eyes. He was always second best to Wyatt.

That was part two! I might be slow at updating the next chapters, but please review! The reviews might stop me from being lazy and write faster. Thanks for reading!
