A/N: This is a play on, "Seed Of Chucky." OMGoddess! The second to last chapter, I can't believe it! BTW, did anyone watch Commander in Chief on Tuesday? I DID! It was freakin' brilliant, I tell ya! I loved it...Being female and an Independent myselfand all. lol Woo, go Mac! Anywho, onto reviews.
The-Cheese-Fairy: HAHA! I LOVED that! I read it wrong the first time, so I had to re-read the joke and then I laughed my ass off:-D Then I shared it with my Wiccan friend who hates Bush as much as I do and she cackled too (ha, little pun there). Ooh, and I'm glad you got to see the first eppy of S8. I'm really thinking that you'll enjoy this chapter, even though it is a short one. (I hope it helps tokeep the bitterness away. Aww.)
GuevaraX5452: Actually, Prada will be explained in full, in this chapter. Get the destiny out of Prue? That may be a little tough, as you'll soon read. Ha! You picked up the telemarketer line too. I loved that line myself, because I HATE telemarketers with a fiery, fiery passion! (P.S. I did like the songs. They made me think of someone.)
Ed: Let's just say that this destiny effects everyone.
LeoPiperAndyPrue: Aw, thanks for reviewing anyway and thanks for your comments. The sequel will have a lot of Persia in it, as a large portion of it deals with the trial.
damien455: I'm glad you think so; I pride myself in trying to be creative.
moonfirefairy: He will be around for a while, but we'll just have to wait and see.
Peanut2lb: I thought you might be one of the ones to pick up on the telemarketer line! I'm tickled that you found it as funny as I did. lol
Phyre: "Un-Prueish," of course that's a word! ;) Just ask any Charmed fan.lol
charmedsisters: Thank you!
chyp: Thanks.
Prince Halliwell: Well, she can't see the future, but she's gaining the ability to read people's minds from further and further away (i.e. through the telephone line).
Every Halliwell Counts
Chapter 39: Seed Of Charmed
"What?"
"What?"
"What?"
Tyler's look darted from Piper, to Phoebe, to Persia in the order in which their reactions had come. "You heard me, I want my powers back."
"Tyler-"
"No, Piper! You said that if I wanted them back, I could come to you and tell you so! Well, I'm here now, and I'm telling you that I want them back!"
"Oh for crying out loud!" Piper exclaimed, flicking a wrist at The Firestarter and freezing him.
"You could've blown him up!"
"It was a risk I was willing to take."
"Like we haven't heard that one before," Phoebe murmured.
"What?"
"Nothing!" Phoebe said, looking back at the frozen teenager.
"We have more important things to worry about, like fixing this destiny crisis." The timing witch scooted past Phoebe down the stairs and glanced at Nicolette. "She'll probably be up any time, someone will have to keep an eye on her." She pointed to Persia. "You stay with the innocent. Prue, Phoebe, you come with me."
"Who died and made you boss?" Prue asked accusingly.
"You," Piper replied as she disappeared into the kitchen.
"Don't look at me," Phoebe said as she followed Piper's lead.

"Thanks for helping me today, Chase," Phiona said as she traced her finger in the dirt while sitting next to her new friend on the playground.
"No problem," the mortal replied. "Maybe we could hang out again sometime?"
The young whitelighter smiled. "Yeah, I'd like that."
"What's your phone number?"
Chase laughed and smeared his hand across the dirt, smoothing it, and then he traced his number into the sand with his index finger.
"Sweet," the witchlighter grinned.
"Chase!"
Chase and Phiona looked behind them to see Joanna standing with a middle aged woman in a pair of white jeans and a blue cardigan sweater.
"Coming!" Chase called, hauling himself from the ground and holding out a hand to help Phiona up.
"We'll be waiting in the car," Joanna's mother called back as she turned around, tugging Joanna with her.
"So I'll hear from you soon?"
"Oh, of course," Phiona nodded before pulling Chase into an unexpected hug. "Thanks for everything."
"You're welcome," the mortal replied before wrapping his arms around the witch and returning the hug. "Take care."
"You too."
With that, Chase hurried off towards the door, leaving the witchlighter with a fluttering new feeling.

A swarm of orbs deposited Paige and Leo into the kitchen of the Halliwell Manor.
"Well you're just in time to help us summon The Deliverer," Piper exclaimed as she tugged Paige over to her and her sisters.
"About that..." Leo drawled.
"You know something?" Prue asked.
"Yeah.." Leo shifted his weight uncomfortably. "The Elders aren't at all happy with that you've done."
"What we've done?" Piper looked confused. "What exactly have we done, honey?"
"Yeah, what do you know, Leo?" Phoebe probed.
"I'm not the right person to explain this," Leo said as he moved out of the way."He is."
With that, a burst of silver dust formed into Prada.
"What did you do to my sister?" Piper asked without preamble.
"I didn't do anything to your sister!" Prada defended. He formed his fingers into a peace sign and pointed them at Prue and Phoebe. "If they hadn't interrupted me, then this whole mess wouldn't of happened!"
"What mess?" Paige asked, not knowing what the hell was going on, as she'd spent all day in a meeting Up There.
"The Prophet mess!" Prada exclaimed, pointing to Prue's abdomen. "The Prophet Guardian was destined to pass on into the afterlife today and I was supposed to deliver her magic to the next generation Prophet Guardian! But no! Those pesky witches had to ruin everything and now the magic of the Prophet Guardian has gone to the wrong host!"
"Prue is now a Prophet Guardian?" Piper asked.
"No!" The blue suited man pointed to the raven witch's abdomen. "Your innocent was going to conceive the next Prophet Guardian. Just last night she and her boyfriend and consummated their love and everyone knows that it takes some time after that life to technically form in the mother's womb. I was sent to send my powers into future mother of the child, to ensure that she became pregnant with the future Prophet Guardian! But your sister got in the way! Now Nicolette won't conceive the child she was supposed to." She pointed an accusatory finger at Prue. "Your play night with your mortal Inspector last night has ensured that the powers have gone and helped to create a child that never should have been!"
Prue stared down at her stomach, her blue eyes wide. "I'm-I'm pregnant?"
