Thank you to all of you who reviewed! Sorry I'm not typing responses to each one but I'm just not really with it today so I apologize if this chapter like sucks really bad. Although I do have to give credit to AllenPitt. You gave me a great idea for this next chapter.

Chapter Two: Missing Prodigies

Piper had excused herself so that she could run up and check on Wyatt and Chris, who were asleep in their room. She had promised to let Prue meet them when they got up from their nap. Prue had said that even though the time shift had occurred, she didn't have any recollection of Piper even getting pregnant, let alone twice. Piper quickly dismissed it and continued to go upstairs.

She poked her head through the door and was shocked by what she saw. The room was Grams' old sewing room. But they had changed it to the boy's bedroom years ago. "PAIGE!" Piper yelled in horrified frustration.

Paige heard Piper's scream and orbed upstairs. "What is it?" she asked.

"Look," Piper told her, pointing in the doorway. "They're not in there. They're not in there. Paige, I've lost my boys…. I can't lose them. They're my world." Tears stung at Piper's eyes.

"I know honey, I know." Paige hugged her sister and tried to comfort her. The truth was, she didn't want to lose those boys anymore than Piper did. "Go in and lay down, I'll straighten this all out."

Piper nodded as she walked somberly into her room and shut the door behind her. Paige ran up to the attic. She flipped through the Book and knew what she was going to do. She looked up and shouted, "I don't care which one, but one of you damn Elders better get your ass down here before I come up there!" A younger looking woman appeared in a flurry of orbs in Elder robes.

"What is it?" she asked calmly.

"What is it! What is it!" Paige mocked in outrage. "You took my nephews away! That's what it is! You can't just go messing with people's lives like that! It's not fair! After all we do for you, you want to go and pull this kind of stunt? People love them too much for you to just wipe them off the face of this earth. LEO!"

Leo appeared in orbs as he looked from Paige to the other Elder. "Kate," he acknowledged, dipping his head, slightly.

"Leo," she replied.

"What is it Paige?" he asked.

"Leo, they took your boys away," she said quietly. "They're gone."

"They never existed," Kate said.

"Bull, they never existed! They have been here with us as a family for almost two years!"

"No," she replied. "Due to the time shift, the boys were never conceived. Finding Paige did all of this. You weren't supposed to come into the sister's lives until after Prue died. This is why you must go back and restore the balance. It's either keeping your sister and losing Wyatt and Chris or fixing things and getting them back."

"You know what? I…. well…. I…." Paige was at a loss for words. With a glare directed toward Kate, she orbed out and into Piper's room.

"Honey," she said softly, walking over to Piper's bed. "We have to go back, you know that right?"

Piper's voice was muffled by her pillow, "I know but I want Prue to still be here."

"But do you want that at the cost of your boys?"

"I don't want to give up either. I love Prue and I love my sons. How can they expect me to choose? It's so hard, Paige."

"I know but you're going to have to. We need to fix things and put them back the way they were."

There was a soft knock on the door and Leo's head poked in. "I got us an earlier timeline. We can go back before you found Paige in the church. But we have to go back about a couple of weeks before hand."

"Thanks Leo," Paige said kindly. "We'll be out in a few."

"'Kay," he said, closing the door behind him.

"We can do this. I know that it'll be hard but we can do it.," Paige assured Piper.

"Okay," Piper said getting up. "Let's do it." They opened the door and headed down the stairs.

"You okay, Piper?" Phoebe asked.

"Fine," Piper replied. "Let's just get this done."

Leo handed her the spell as all five of them joined hands and read. When they opened their eyes, they were in the 1970's, in the attic of their house. They quietly listened to the voices that were coming up the stairs.

"Well, I need specifics, Patty. How exactly did you get here?"

"I don't know mom. I was just thinking about you and the girls and I was here. It was strange though, almost like I could feel my body dissolving."

"That's mom," Piper whispered. "She must be talking to Grams."

"C'mon, we need to get… ACHOOO!" Paige sneezed as a cloud of dust floated up to meet her nose.

"Good job Miss Discreet. Orb us out of here," Piper said urgently. She could already hear footsteps coming up to the attic. Paige grabbed her and Phoebe's arms and tried to orb. "It won't work." Everyone looked to Leo who now had shaggy blonde hair and stubble on his chin. "What happened to you?"

"I guess that I have to take the form I had back in this time since there can't be two grown adult me's running around."

"Well, can the you back then orb?" Paige asked.

He grabbed Prue's wrist and before she could grab onto someone else, they were gone, leaving Piper, Phoebe and Paige standing in the attic.

Grams and Patty stood in the doorway, mouths open. "Who are you?" Grams demanded.

"Uh… see… we can explain," Paige said.

Well, there it is. Not as long but I hope it's the content that counts. Let me know what you think! And plus, I'm thinking about doing another Charmed fanfic but it'll be a cross-over with Crossing Jordan…… If you want to see it, then I'll write it and if you don't, then oh well. It just sounded kind of different to me… let me know what you think!
