A/N: Hey, I'm back. This story is inspired by the last episode of Charmed (I can't believe it's over!) But just a question, was I the only one to scream (in a laughter sort of way) when Future Wyatt said, "Uncle Coop!" I thought that was so great. It was obvious that the writers were trying to finish off a lot in a short period of time. Although the relationships, and then marriage between Paige and Henry and Phoebe and Coop wouldn't have been a "forever" thing, if it wasn't the last season.

Hope you liked the first chapter, and here's the next one. Enjoy.

The Haliwell History

The Halliwell family of witches had grown a lot in the last 20 years. What had once been just the three sisters now included their husbands, and they each had three children, and it was a mad house. In 2006 when Leo had been brought back by the angel of destiny, the family had celebrated with a wedding, between Phoebe and Coop. They had barely returned from their honeymoon when Phoebe found out that she was pregnant. Phoebe thought that she was cursed, because she had gotten pregnant right after being married to Cole, but she soon forgot about that when Coop showered her in love (which led them back to the bedroom). Not longer after Phoebe's daughter Prue was born both Piper and Paige found out that they were pregnant. The Charmed ones had never experienced having two sisters down at a time, but luckily they had Billie, plus three husbands, and Victor, who loved being a grandfather and did everything with his three (soon to be five) grand children that he could never do with his own girls. And as hectic as their first eight years as witches had been, the next fourteen were relatively quiet beyond the chaos of children, for no soon had Penny and Henry Jr. been born, did Phoebe find out that she was pregnant again! At that point Phoebe and Coop moved out of the Condo and found a nice house not far from Prescott St. Leo was running the Magic School, and Piper finally had time to open the restaurant that she had always dreamed of. Phoebe as always, was dedicated to her readers on the Bay Mirror, and Coop, was well Cupid, although they do have their bumpy patches when they talk about money, as being Cupid doesn't pay the bills. But with a little help from the elders, and the fact that they loved each other. Paige went back to being a Social Worker, with her whitelighter side was able to help future whitelighters and new witches, while Henry did what he always did, looking after his parolees, but in 2013 Paige had twin girls, Alice and Andrea, who could run circles around everyone in the family, especially their big cousins, Wyatt and Chris. Then a year later, Phoebe was pregnant for a third, and she emphasized, final time. And six years later, the Haliwell is big, and loud, and they couldn't be happier. But as Wyatt grew up and witnessed the family grow, he couldn't help wonder if he could ever have someone to love like the grown ups in his family. Sure, plenty of girls flirt with him, they think that he's cute and nice, but Wyatt could never get close to anyone. Wyatt had so much power that it scared himself. Not even his parents realized how much power he was carrying around within him, and he hadn't met the girl yet who could handle it.

The Evans Household

Liz was happy and worried at the same time. Piper and Leo seemed like perfectly nice people, but what if they weren't? What if the eight of them were walking into a trap? What if the government was coming for them? What if... "Honey," Max interrupted her thoughts, "Don't be so worried. I can tell from your expression, it'll be fine."

"It's just that they've never had to use their powers for anything life threatening."

"It won't be. They are going to a party, if anything we should make sure that they don't use their powers to show off. Especially Danny. He's getting to that age."

"I know they'll be fine. Actually what you should be worried about was how Alex and their son Wyatt were looking at each other. I recognize that look well, it's how we looked at each other at the beginning."

"We don't still look at each other that way?"

"No. Our look has gotten much more deeper and more seriously since then. And I know that you keep thinking the 'what if' game with Zan. Don't sweetheart. I love that smile of yours, and every time you second guess yourself, I loss a piece of that smile. I'm sure that Zan got his adoption papers last month when he turned 18, and if he wants to, he'll go find your parents, and they'll get in touch with us."

"It's just, what if something happened to him? What if what happened to Michael happened to Zan?"

"Don't worry. We'll go to the party tonight, get to know our neighbors, and when Maria and Michael come into town this weekend, we can stay up all night reminiscing about old times."

"Your right. Hey! I came over here to comfort you, how did you end up comforting me?"

"We spend too much time in each other's heads I guess."

The Halliwell Manor

It was 4:45. Phoebe, Coop, and their three girls, Prue, Patty, and Paris, had arrived in their usual passion, chaos. Phoebe and Coop were arguing, again. No one was worried though, not even their three terrors. This time they were arguing over whether or not their children should be entered in Magic School. Phoebe didn't want them to, because she wanted them to be able to have a life outside of magic. Coop however thought that their gifts should be something to be celebrated and not hidden. Then it went on to how Coop could never understand what it was like to grow up in this world, especially as a girl. Piper, Leo, Penny, and the boys just sighed, it was the same fight again, but they all knew that they would make up, and they would better be careful. One such fight created Paris!

Six year old Paris was the baby, and she didn't allow anyone to forget it. She had the pleading face down pat, and no one was immune to it, especially not Wyatt and Chris. The nine cousins had grown up like brothers and sisters, as close as their own parents were, they were often all dropped in together while their parents were working, and now that Wyatt was 17 and Chris was 15, they were now used to being called in as the babysitters for the whole rabble. Even though Prue, Patty, Henry, and Penny all insisted that they were too old for a babysitter (Patty only said it cause Prue did), they all were glad to have their 'big brothers' to run to. Especially Henry who was surrounded by Estrogen most of the time. But tonight, they were off the hook, as Victor (grandpa to all the kids) was going to be babysitting. Everyone thought that every time he insisted that he had is all under control, that it was the kids that were controlling him, over the past 17 years he had discovered ways of keeping active children busy.

Just then Paige and Henry arrived, along with Henry and the twins, who ran in calling out, "Aunt Phoebe! Uncle Coop!" as if they hadn't seen them in years, when in fact they had been over their house the day before. Paige just walked in silently with Henry, like they often did. With both of their professions, with chaos at work and chaos at home, they enjoyed the silence when the few moments occurred.

Piper had dinner cooking for the nine children when the doorbell rang. That meant that it was either her dad or the Evans from next door, as her sisters and their families didn't even bother knocking. She didn't mind. This house belonged to all of them just at the book and their family legacy did. Piper opened to find her father, "Dad! I'm so glad you could come, are you sure you're up to babysitting them all by yourself?"

"Sure, I'm sure. Plus, I won't be alone, Wyatt and Chris can help me with the kids."

"Oh, we have new neighbors who moved in next door, two couples, and between them there's four teens around Chris's and Wyatt's age. They might decide to go off to do something else. I could tell them that they should stay hear and help you."

"We'll see, if the older kids want to go out and do something, we'll deal with it then," that was then the doorbell rang again.

Piper opened the door to find the eight neighbors staring back at her. The faces were amusing. Liz and Isabelle were cheery, obviously interested in making a good impression, while their husbands were simply amused by their kids, who looked like they resented to being dragged to a party were the little kids would be. "Hi, welcome." She led them in, "Your Alex, right? Yes, and Daniel." She said pointing at them, then continued, "You two must be Laura and Alexander. Hi, I'm Piper, we didn't get a chance to meet before."

They smiled, "Hi." obviously not sure what else to say.

"Well, my Dad is going to be babysitting tonight, which is just a formality. My sons can handle the kids better than anyone, but I figured, that we should have another adult around, just in case you older kids are bored and want to do something else. Theirs a mall within walking distance with a movie there, if that's all right with your parents. Here's the kitchen, let me introduce you to the rabble as we like to call them. This is my sister Phoebe, her husband Coop, and their daughters, Prue, Patty, and Paris. This is my other sister, Paige, her husband Henry, and their kids, Henry, Alice and Andrea. This is my husband Leo, most of you already met, and my kids, Wyatt, Chris, and Penny. Everyone, these are our new neighbors: Liz and Max Evans, their children, Alexandria and David, and Max's sister Isobel and her husband Jessie Ramirez, and their kids Alexander and Laura."

"Hi." Laura answered. "We're just living with Uncle Max and Aunt Liz till Dad's new company finishes our company house." At a glare from her mother, "What, I don't want them to think that we're frieks for living two families to a house. The new house won't be ready for two months, and they offered to pay for a hotel, but mom insisted that we needed a more stable environment."

Wyatt laughed out loud, "Well, we're not ones to talk. We may live in three separate houses, but everyone is here so much we might as well all live here, it's just a lack of bedrooms."

Piper, took charge again, "Well, I have dinner ready. Chili and Corn bread." She looked at the four outsider kids, "your welcome to join them if you haven't eaten already."

Liz looked at the amount off food that had been made, "You really didn't have to go through so much trouble."

Chris was the smart ass this time, "Please, my mother cooks more than any reasonable families can eat. That's my mother the chief."

"Oh, for what restaurant?"

"I own Triquetra, a restaurant downtown, that's where all the adults are going tonight."

"Wow!" Isabelle declared, "You own Triquetra! That's one of the places one of my friends from High School recommended for a romantic dinner."

"That would be it. But I am a chef first and foremost. The business end of it is the bane of my existence, but what can you do. Lets see, you kids all set with dinner? All right, let's go."

Phoebe stepped next to Liz as they were walking out, "Hi Liz, so, is this your first time in San Francisco?"

"Yes, I'll tell you that I haven't felt this, non sweaty in years. We've lived in Miami Florida since our kids were toddlers. Have you lived in San Francisco long?"

"Our family has been living in this house for generations. But as for me, I was a free spirit. I left as soon as I was finished with High School, and I didn't look back. But when our Grams died, I was drawn back here, now I couldn't imagine living anywhere else."

"Oh, you wrote that book..."

"Yup. I found the love of my life, I wanted to help others find theirs."

"That was never a problem for me. Max and I have been in love since we were 16, married at 18. First kid at 19. We did everything young. It was probably influenced by my friend's Alex's death when we were 17."

"That's where your daughter's..."

"Yeah, I named Alex after him. But, after he died, we realized that life wasn't worth waisting and that we shouldn't wait for it to come to you. While Alex was a surprise on both of our parts, along with David, I don't regret a moment."

"There's one good thing about you having kids so young. I didn't have my first child until I was in my early 30's, and now I'm afraid by the time I have grand kids... well, I guess because our Grams raised us, it's important to me."

"Wasn't that your father, taking care of the kids?"

"Yeah, well after my mother died, he took off, and we didn't see him until a little over 20 years ago." Phoebe looked down, "You must think I'm strange, babble on about my history with a total stranger?"

"Not at all, I was doing it too, remember."

"Right, well, let's go see what Piper has for store for us at her restaurant."

Back at the Manor

Dinner had been eaten and the kids were cleaning up in a semblance of order. Wyatt was washing, Penny was rinsing, Prue was drying, and Chris put away. The rest of the kids were doing other jobs, such as put away the food, wipe off the table. Alexandria, in order to be next to Wyatt was helping the kids bring up all the dirty bowls, plates and cups to the kitchen sink. They didn't say much, but they didn't have to, for their eyes did most of the talking. And it didn't go unnoticed. For Alice and Andrea skipped into the kitchen singing, "Wyatt and Alex sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! First Comes Love, Then Comes Marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage." Wyatt playfully chased his baby cousins, who in turned squealed, running away, but let Wyatt catch them, who placed each girl over a shoulder.

"I found two more dishes that need cleaning Alex, don't you agree."

Laughing, Alex played along, "Oh, yes, bring them over hear, we'll take care of the dirt."

"No!" The girls yelled giggling the whole time.

Once the kitchen and dining room were clean, the kids brought out a number of board games. Henry grabbed Daniel and Alexander's hands, "Come on, be on my team. Let's beat those girls." Those girls happened to be Henry's cousins, Prue, Patty, and Penny. They were playing Pictonary Jr. The two boys, while obviously wouldn't want to be seen by their friends back home in this diaper fest, decided to play along, might as well do something.

Paris, Andrea and Alice had out Candyland, which their grandfather had agreed to play with them. So that left Alex, Wyatt, Laura and Chris, and they had permission to get out of here, "Alex, this is your first time in San Francisco, right?"

"Yup. Although all I've seen is the airport."

"Well, how about we change that."

"Okay."

Wyatt turned around to find Chris playing Candyland with his little cousins and grandfather, and Alex noticed that Laura was on the girls team in Pictionary Jr. "I don't think that any of them will miss us."

"Let's go."

"Grandpa, is it okay if Alex and I take a little stroll?"

"Alright. You got your cellphone on you?"

"Yup."

"It's on?"

"Yup."

"Have a good time. I think that I can handle things."

Wyatt and Alex went out the front door, and simply walked. "Oh, it's so much clearer hear at night. In Miami there's so much smog, which is amplified by the humidity. Even being in the city, it's so peaceful. So, what do you have in mind?"

"I don't know, just talk. What do you like?"

"Let's see, I like the color blue. I like cheeseburgers. My favorite book is anything Star Wars related. My favorite movie is the latest Sean Spears movie. You?"

Wyatt laughed, he felt more free with her than anyone else, "Let's see. My mother insists on dressing me in blue, she says it matches my eyes, but I like red. I love my mother's cooking, I'll tell you, I've been spoiled as a child. I think that the Harry Potter books are a riot, and I love the old movies, from the 1940s, like Casablanca. Their lives just seem so much simpler. Real life is just so..."

"Complicated? I hear that. My dad apparently had this big blowout with Grandpa and so I've never met him. Oh, and apparently my parents were star crossed lovers, they talk about their relationship like they had battled all types of foes to just be together, including my mom's dad."

"My parents are the same, they always talk about their 'forbidden love.' I kind of wondered if it would ever happen to me, find someone that you would battle the world for."

"Yeah, me too." At that moment their eyes connected, like they saw into each other's souls and knew that they were meant for each other. Wyatt stepped closer to Alex, placed one hand on Alex's chin and bent down, and kissed her. It wasn't a long kiss, but there was electricity between them.

"We should probably be heading back."

"Yeah." Alex managed to get out. God, she was falling for this guy, hook, line and sinker. And she loved the feeling. So they walked back to the manor, hand in hand. But the silence of the night was interrupted by a crashing sound coming from the house.

Wyatt and Alex ran inside to see what was going on. A stranger, a demon, crashed into a table in the Foure just as they entered. Victor's voice was heard loud and clear, "Children upstairs, NOW!" Victor had some potion vials in his hands that he had always carried on him since he had been regularly babysitting. Victor threw one at the demon, and while it exploded, the demon hardly flinched. Chris sent him flying again against the wall. Alex stared in amazement as Wyatt took her hand and she felt her body coming apart, and then appearing in another room, where all the kids including Alex's brother and cousins, "What's going on?" Alex asked Wyatt.

"I promise, I'll answer them, but now my brother needs me." Wyatt disappeared in blue orbs, and Alex was left with more questions than before.

TBC...

A/N: What will happen, will they vanquish the demon, how will the Haliwells explain the strange intruder? Will Alex see past Wyatt's powers to the young man beneath? All will be revieled. And now for your part: REVIEW!
