Disclaimer: Once again, I own nothing of Charmed.

Takes place 1 month later. Phoebe is 4 months pregnant.

"Get Phoebe and Patience out of here," Piper demanded. Leo picked up his daughter and touched Phoebe's shoulder as they orbed out. Demons and warlocks had lain low for a while, but now they were appearing tree times a day for a week.

"Oww!" Paige cried from near the window. Piper looked over momentarily to look at her sister. She had a bad cut on her arm.

"I've got this," Mitchell said. He went over and healed Paige's arm. Since he was half whitelighter, half witch, he could heal. He helped the sisters when they were fending of demons.

"Thanks, Hon," Paige replied, inspecting her arm. She got up and looked in the book, since the demon wasn't going away. "Here we go," Paige shouted. "It doesn't require the Power of Three." Piper looked over her little sister's shoulder and read,

"We sisters call, To banish thee,

To whence you came

So mote it be"

The demon cried in pain while fire consumed him. With a bang, he was vanquished.

"They disappear for awhile, then all come back at once. What? Were they on demonic hiatus or something?" Paige asked.

"Tell me about," Piper responded. She wiped her hands together. "Well now that that's over-," she was cut of by another demon attack.

"Not again," she whined. With a simple flick of her wrists, the demon was gone. She and Paige waited a couple more minutes.

"I think it's safe to say that there gone. For now at least," Paige whispered, as if the demons could hear. Piper nodded. Her and Paige left the attic.

"So, did you…uh…get it?" Dex asked. He still wasn't used to all the demon stuff.

"Yes, don't worry. So, who's ready for lunch?" Piper asked clapping her hands together. Just then Patience started to cry. "Well, I guess someone is," she said as she went to retrieve her daughter.

"As much as I would love to stay, I have to get down to the office," Phoebe declared as she went downstairs to get her coat. Dex said he would go with her, so it was just Piper, Leo, Paige, and Patience. Leo heard a jingle in his head and took of.

"I hate to leave you, Paige, but unless you want to eat tonight, we've gotta go shopping," Piper said. She wiped Patience's mouth and lifted her out of her highchair.

"No problem. I'm fine by myself. Haven't had any alone time for awhile now," replied Paige. Piper told her to be on the lookout for demons, and grabbed her coat and buttoned up Patience's jacket. She grabbed the car keys and left.

"Finally, I'm alone," Paige happily sighed. "What to do first?" Paige asked herself. But before she could decide, there was a crash from upstairs. "Not again," she moaned. She orbed some potions she had already made that morning. With all of the demon attacks, they had to be ready. "Ready or not, here I come," Paige sing songed. She orbed herself up to the attack.

"Wait! Please, stop!" the demon begged. "Now why would I wait to her what a stupid little demon has to say?" Paige mock questioned.

"Because I have something important to say," the demon grunted. "Fine, now what exactly would that be?" Paige asked. She aimed the bottle at the demon. "You'd better explain fast, or I'll blow your demonic ass up."

"Okay, okay. But if I tell you, you can't vanquish me. Got it?"

"Oh, of course," Paige smiled.

"Your sister's baby is in trouble."

"Which one," Paige asked now worried.

"The older one, Piper. The girl's going to be kidnapped. Soon. They'll raise her evil. And there will be no new Power of Three." Paige took this in.

"Anything else?"

"Yeah. The demons. They're called the Naszus. That's all."

"Thanks. You've been helpful. One question. Why are you telling me this?" Paige questioned.

"Because- ahhhh!" the demon screamed. Her went up in flames, and seemed to disappear into the floor.

"Now that was weird," Paige orbed downstairs and called Piper. "Piper, you need to watch out for demons. They're known as the Naszus. Apparently, they want to kidnap Patience and I tell you the rest of the story later, 'kay?" "Uh, ok. We'll be home soon," Piper said then clicked off.

"Listen, Elise. I'll get it into you as soon as I can. It's hard you know. I am pregnant," Phoebe listened to her boss on the other end of the phone. "Two more days. Got it thanks," she hung up. "How am I going to get this finished by Thursday?" Phoebe asked herself. Then- wham.

Patience in the Underworld. A fireball is thrown at Piper. She lays lifeless on the ground. Patience is encircled in a ring of fire. Four demons dressed in black cloaks are circled around her. They wave a wand type thing in the air while chanting. Patience's eyes glow green. A woman wearing a black dress picks her up and blinks away. All of the other demons shimmer out. Piper lays dead on the floor.

"No, no!" Phoebe cried. Since the sisters' powers had grown, Phoebe was able to have premonitions without something setting it off. She quickly gathered her stuff. "Dex, I'm leaving. I have to get home. Stay here!" she called to her husband. She ran out the door as fast as a pregnant woman could. She had to get home fast. The current Power of Three and the future one was at stake.
