AN: thanks for reading and reviewing to my story. Have fun!

Chapter 2: Moving in and kicking demon butt, Charmed style

Melinda felt the room's eyes on her after she and Derek had orbed in. She gasped, realizing the three women in the room were the same three women in her dream.

"My job here is done and I should be returning with the other elders." Derek broke the silence and orbed out. Phoebe was about to suffocate from the tenseness in the air.

"My name's Phoe…"

"Phoebe, right?" Melinda recognized the curly-ish brown hair. "And you're Paige" pointing to Paige, "And…" pausing, realizing Piper was the woman pregnant. "Piper" she whispered softly. 'So this is my mom.' (AN: if this isn't clicking, in Mel's dream, she saw Piper pregnant and declaring naming the baby Melinda) Melinda lifted her gaze and blue clashed brown. Piper saw sadness, relief, and anger? 'She's probably pissed that I sent her away.' Piper thought sadly.

'She's probably thinking that I'm pissed at her for sending me away. But…am I?' She asked herself, not sure what she really felt at the moment. Melinda experienced so many thoughts and feelings that she wasn't sure what was what anymore. 'I just need a good, long nap.' She comforted.

"Where's my bedroom?" She chirped, trying to lighten the dense mood in the room. Piper just stood still, trying to comprehend that she was back. Her baby was back with her. Paige saw this and walked towards the newcomer, giving Piper a light pat on the back and led Mel to her room.

"Is it ok if you share a room with Chris?" Paige asked, leading her up the stairs.

"Sure." Mel asked, trying to figure out who 'Chris' was. Paige led her through the corridor into a bedroom that now occupied two beds and two drawers. Paige exited the room, knowing that Melinda needed time to herself. After Paige, Melinda put all her bags to one side, sat down on her bed and closed her eyes for a much-needed sleep.

Meanwhile in the underworld

Bianca shimmered into the underworld, clutching her arm. After hitting the force field, she had slammed into a tree, and hit her arm. She limped to her 'master'.

"I see you have failed me, like the others." He looked at the blood coming from her arm.

"You said nothing about a force field." She growled.

"What? I never said anything about powers. I suppose her powers have returned." He whispered to himself. He powered up a fireball, getting ready to fire at Bianca, but he held a hand up.

"I will get to her. No matter what. Now that I know where she lives and what her powers are, I know what to expect." She declared. Then, a demon shimmered into the lair. He bowed towards his master.

"M…Master…something terrible has happened!" he cried. His master looked at him. "S…She…the…witch…she has gone…to..to…th…th..e….Halliwell…manor." he finished. The master got up.

"What!" he boomed, the servant bowed even lower. He was so furious he threw the fireball at the servant.

"Guess where you are going next?" he snickered, at Bianca.

"Even better."

After Paige returned from showing Melinda her room, she sat back in the living room with her family.

"What do we do now?" asked Piper, still recovering from shock. Leo wrapped his arm around her shoulder and kissed her forehead.

"We should tell her the truth. The whole truth." Answered Phoebe.

"I can't believe I have a sister." Whispered Chris. He couldn't take this anymore and orbed out. Piper was about to get up and stop him, but Leo held her tighter. Wyatt got up.

"I'll go talk to him. I have a hunch of where he is." And orbed out.

Golden Gate Bridge

Chris stood, admiring the cars driving past, under him. He felt peaceful. He felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Wy, it's not fair. Everyone knew but me. Why?" he turned to find his older brother behind him.

"You were really young at the time. Only 2. Mom figured that if she got things over with, she wouldn't have to deal with you asking questions when you got older. Looks like that plan worked." He chuckled. Chris smiled.

"C'mon, let's go home. Mom can explain everything." Both brothers orbed back home.

Melinda opened her eyes, and panicked, not recognizing her surroundings, but then remembered what had happened over the last few hours. 'I suppose I should go downstairs and get some answers.' She got up and entered the living to find no one there. She decided to walk around, seeing if anyone else was home. She was about to walk into the conservatory when she heard jingles behind her. She raised her hands and her familiar force field went up. She dropped it when she saw two guys that were in the living room when she arrived. One was tall with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. The other was a little shorter. He had brown hair and brown eyes. 'Wyatt and Chris.' She thought.

"Hey, a force field. Just like Wy," smiled the one with brown hair. "I'm Chris." He told out his hand and Melinda shook it.

"I'm Wyatt." The taller one held out his hand as well. Melinda shook that as well. Wyatt noticed that the house was empty as well.

"Everyone's probably at the club." He noticed. Chris looked around and nodded.

"Club?" she didn't know her family were such party-ers.

"Mom owns a club downtown. P3. Heard of it?" asked Chris.

"No. I'm not from around here. I'm from Seattle." She answered politely. Her brothers nodded.

'God, something happen!' Wyatt mentally screamed. He never liked to sit and do nothing. Suddenly, a demon shimmered in. Chris turned around, ready to kill the demon, but froze when he saw her.

"Bianca?" Chris asked, not sure if what was in front of him real or his mind playing tricks. 'I thought Wyatt (bad Wyatt) killed her. What is she doing here? Now?' Melinda gasped. It was the same demon from Seattle.

"What are you doing here?" she growled. She wasn't going to let this demon get in her way again. (Guess her Halliwell side is starting to show :D) Bianca was ready to walk up to Melinda and make her pay for what she did last time, but Wyatt was quicker and tk-ed her into a wall. Then he was getting ready to walk towards her and kill her but Chris stopped him.

"Wait!" Chris held up a hand. He slowly cautiously walked up to her. "Why are you here?" his head hung low and voice barely audible. He had loved this woman. He was to marry her. But she left him. He had moved on. What now?

"I've always been here, Christopher. After he killed me, I was able to make it out and a healer healed me. I was in hiding until now. Until I was ready to face you." She referred Wyatt as he because after Wyatt turned good, he had lost all memory of his past life. She was now standing and had her hand on the side of his face. Her face showed love, but her inside was anything but. 'Now I'm going to have to wash my hand after touching him. He disgusts me. He was never my type. Too…good.' She mentally spat. She never had a thing for good beings. She just used Chris to get to the Halliwells. But Chris was so drowned in his love for her that he never took notice. Wyatt did, but never brought it up, knowing that it would just cause him and his brother anger towards one another. Bianca let her hand go and faced Melinda. 'Maybe I can get this to work.' She grinned and put on her best smile.

"Do I know you?" she asked angelically.

"What do you mean? You tried to kill me in Seattle!" Melinda was yelling. Chris faced her.

"Is this true?" he asked. When Wyatt was evil, he remembered that Bianca promised that she would stop her evil doings and help him restore peace. (Cheesy, I know!) Bianca faked a gasp.

"No, it wasn't me. It was a shape shifter. He turned into me and tried to kill her so he wouldn't get blamed if he failed. I would never hurt an innocent." Chris sighed when hearing that. He knew he could trust her. Wyatt wasn't very sure that he trusted her, but decided to let Chris have this one.

"I should get going before demons realize I've been missing." She gave Chris a quick kiss and shimmered out. A light pink covered his cheeks.

"So…" Melinda began, breaking another awkward silence.

"How 'bout Chris and I give you a tour of the house?" asked Wyatt with a smile. The agreed and Wyatt explained the different rooms.

P3

After Melinda had went to sleep, the sisters and Leo decided to go to P3 to have a drink and relax a little. They were all contemplating how to explain to Melinda about her past.

"Let's go home. I think I'm ready now." The nodded and went to the back room where Paige and Leo orbed them home. When they arrived in the foyer, they saw the house empty then heard voice coming from upstairs.

"The attic." Phoebe suggested and they all walked up the stairs. The four of them walked up to the attic to find Wyatt explaining the history of the famous Book of Shadows.

"This book is basically a demon encyclopedia. It helps us to identify demons so that we can make vanquishing potions and destroy the demon." Chris explained, brushing his fingers against the delicate pages. Piper smiled when she saw all her children getting along so well.

"I see Wyatt and Chris have given you the grand tour." Smiled Leo. He walked towards them.

"Yea. I didn't know this family had such a history." Mel (AN: I'm going to refer Melinda as 'Mel' from now on).

"Come on downstairs…we can answer all those questions you have." Piper smiled and led them downstairs.

Bianca sat in her apartment in downtown San Francisco. 'I'll kill you, Melinda Halliwell, you and your stupid family.' She laughed evilly.
"You first have to realize that what I did was all because I loved you and didn't want you to live the life I did." Piper began. She swallowed and began.

Flashback

A very pregnant Piper walked down the stairs with her two sisters in tow.

"So how's my little niece doing?" asked Phoebe, rubbing her sister's round belly.

"Fine, Phoebe. How do you know it is a girl? 'IT' could end up like Wyatt and Chris." She countered.

"Because I can feel it." Phoebe whispered. She adored children.

"Piper, what are you going to name her?" Paige questioned.

"I don't know, Paige. I was thinking…Melinda. Ya know, after Melinda Warren."

A while later

Piper sat in her bedroom, hand gently on her stomach. Leo orbed in and sat next to her.

"The elders said that they could help arrange something." He said softly.

"But are you sure that we're making the right decision? I mean, I want her to be able to live a magic free life, but I also want her to be here. With us." Piper had wanted to give Melinda up for adoption so she could live a magic free life, one without demons, magic, one without danger.

"We want her to be happy and be able to live a life that we never had. I know we're all going to miss her, but this is for her own good." Leo didn't like the idea of this at first, but after thinking, he wanted their daughter to be happy. Normal. Something this family never was.

"I love you." Piper looked into his gentle blue eyes.

"I love you too, Piper."

A while after that

"Congratulations! It's a girl!" cried Phoebe. She cleaned the baby up and handed Piper her newborn daughter.

"Welcome to the world, Melinda Marie Halliwell." After Piper and Mel were all cleaned up, the elders orbed into the manor.

"Piper. It is time." One said. Tears filled in Piper's eyes. She may not see this wonderful baby ever again. Phoebe handed Piper a vial with a blue liquid inside. It contained a power-binding potion that would bind Mel's powers. Piper and Leo gave Mel a kiss on the forehead and handed the elder the baby.

"Don't worry, we'll give her the best home we can find." The elder smiled and orbed out. Piper fell into Leo's arms, crying. Paige and Phoebe went to go and take care of little Wyatt and Chris. Wyatt knew about Piper's baby and so she explained that Mel would be in a better place. (AN: not referring that Mel died!)

End flashback

When Piper was done, Mel had tears down her cheeks. "I never knew…" she whispered. She looked up to find Piper in the arms of Leo.

"Please understand that we only did this because we wanted you to live peacefully and not have to risk your life every two days and save the world." Leo explained. "When Wyatt and Chris were babies, many demons were after them and we couldn't handle that happening to you too." Mel smiled placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I understand and know I know why you did. At first when Derek and Jasmine told me about you, I thought you did it because you were selfish and couldn't handle a daughter. But afterwards, I now know that you wanted to protect me and let me live a normal life and I have. It's time for me to come back and live the life I was destined to." (AN: I know, more cheese) Everyone smiled. Then, Derek orbed down to the Halliwells.

"It is time. Wyatt, Chris, and Melinda. Step forward." He announced and they did as they were told. "It is now time for the next generation of the Charmed Ones." He was about to continue when Piper stopped him.

"But what if Melinda had never showed up? You can't have a power of 2." She questioned. The elder smiled.

"You may not have known, but the potion that Melinda took was supposed to last until she turned 16, but I suppose she was able to break out of the potion's bind early." He answered. "We were not able to tell you because we knew that you would eventually come looking for her and we could not have this happen." Piper nodded, and motioned for him to continue with the ceremony (not really a ceremony…but…work with me!). Wyatt and Chris joined hands. The moment Mel joined hands with them, a light glow surrounded them. (AN: like when Paige joined hands with Piper and Phoebe in season 4) The three siblings closed their eyes as a bright light flowed through them. As they opened their eyes, everyone had stood and had their eyes on them.

"I give you the new generation of the Charmed Ones." Derek smiled and orbed out.

"Whew…talk about a day. I think I'm going to go home. Dex should be home." Phoebe was about to head towards the door when 5 demons shimmered into the manor. Piper instinctively raised and flicked her wrists and the demon closest to her blew up. Phoebe ran up and kicked the demon in the stomach and Wyatt threw a conjured athame at him, causing flames to engulf him body. Every had their own demon. Leo ran to Paige as she was hit by an energy ball. Mel saw what appeared to be their leader walk towards her. He threw an energy ball and she threw up her shield he advanced towards her and she threw up her hands and flickered her wrists, mimicking Piper's moves, hoping something would happen. Something big did happen. When Mel flicked her wrists, an energy wave flew from her hands and all the demons in the room were engulfed in flames as well. Chris looked at her in amazement. 'I thought only Wy could do that.' Mel's face paled. She never knew she could hold that much power.

"What was that?" she huffed out.

"That, my friend, is how we kick demons. Charmed style." Grinned Phoebe.
