Chapter 1 - It's a hard knock life
"ughh gross", Piper complained as she came out of the washroom. "how are you feeling now?", Prue asked. "a little better", Piper replied. "well I am excited for more children to join this family", Prue stated. "yeah I just wish I didn't have to go through morning sickness which is technically all day sickness", Piper stated, as she rubbed her six months belly. "tell me about it". "Aunt Piper?", Heavenly called. "In here". "good morning", Heavenly greeted. "Morning", Piper and Prue chorused. "do you know where my daddy is?". Heavenly asked. "he went out with uncle Leo to the park with Sophia and Wyatt", Piper informed. "aww I wish I went with them", Heavenly asked. "well you were still sleeping and he didn't want to bother you", Prue replied. "yeah... well I am just going to play with my dolls", Heavenly declared. "wait", Piper called before Heavenly could leave. "just remember that you can always talk to us whenever you need to alright we love you", Piper said, with a warm smile. "I love you too thank you", Heavenly said gratefully, as she left the room. "It's good that she is doing better", Piper stated. "yeah it was terrifying to see Phoebe cry in pain while feeling Heavenly's pain", Prue said. Piper nodded in agreement. "well I am making breakfast do you have any special request?", Prue asked. "Umm that's a good question I want some Pickles and Ketchup maybe I can throw some strawberries", Piper stated. "gross I almost forgot how nasty pregnancy cravings were", Prue said. "well it taste good now let's go", Piper ordered playfully. "Yes ma'am", Prue teased. "Heavenly would you like some cereal or eggs?", Piper asked, as they stopped at the door in Heavenly's room. "I think I want some cereal", Heavenly replied. "alright come downstairs", Prue said. "ok I'll be there in a minute", Heavenly said, as Prue and Piper made their way downstairs.
Laughter could be heard in the manor, as the trio of best friends chased each other around the sun room. "ladies please keep it down Aria is sleeping", Prue said. "sorry", the girls chorused as they giggled. "ooh I know we should play hide and seek we can use the whole house", Shaniah suggested. "we can't go to the basement because all our Christmas decorations and other stuff are there", Heavenly stated. "what about the attic?", Akita asked. "I don't know I have to ask". "can you please ask", Shaniah said. "ok I'll be right back", Heavenly said as she exited the sun room. "mommy daddy", Heavenly called, as As Phoebe who was laying on top of Cole as they were making out jumped off at the sound of Heavenly's voice and sat on his lap. They were in the living room. "yes baby", Phoebe replied, trying to catch her breath. "we want to play hide and seek with the whole house can we also use the attic please?", Heavenly asked. "umm I don't think that's good idea you can use the whole house but just leave the basement and attic", Phoebe said. "we just want to hide can we please?". "your mother's right baby there are potions and stuff there we wouldn't want any trouble", Cole added. "Ok... what were you guys doing?", Heavenly asked, noticing suspicious behaviour. "What do you mean honey?", Cole asked nervously. "I mean as I walked in I saw mommy jumping off like she didn't want me to see something... what were you two doing?", Heavenly asked. "nothing really", Phoebe said. "then why are you acting like you were hiding something?", Heavenly asked. "we aren't hiding anything it's just we were having... grown up time", Phoebe explained. "why don't you just go get some ice cream for you and your friends", Cole said. "really?". "really just take one ice cream sandwich for each of you", Cole said. "yay thank you", Heavenly squealed, as she ran to her friends. "great save baby", Phoebe stated rewarding him with a kiss. "yeah we have to be careful", Cole said. "yeah last time she almost caught us having sex in the bed room", Phoebe stated, as Cole cringed in the memory. "yeah that was horrifying", Cole commented. They shared a comfortable silence before Cole proceeded to kiss her neck. "so where were we?", Cole asked seductively, as he kissed her neck. "ooh Cole". Cole then carried Phoebe as she wrapped her legs around his waist. They shared a passionate kiss as he shimmered them to their bedroom.
"The sun will come out tomorrow bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow there be sun oh tomorrow tomorrow I love ya tomorrow it's only a day a WAYYY", Heavenly sang. "beautiful", Shaniah said, Akita, and the whole Halliwell family except Andy, and Leo, were watching Heavenly practice for her Annie audition. "thank you.. do you think they'll pick me?", Heavenly asked. "well you are amazing and I think you have a great chance", Phoebe said, as Heavenly gave her a hug. "are you singing any other songs?", Akita asked. "yes but I don't know which one to sing yet", Heavenly stated. "oh I know you can do a Disney song it will be awesome", Shaniah suggested she was so excited for Heavenly. "yeah that's a great idea Shaniah", Piper stated. Shaniah smiled. "yeah I'll see which song I'll do", Heavenly stated. "well girls it's time for bed", Phoebe announced. "Ohh do we have to?", Heavenly asked. "yes baby you all need your sleep", Cole reasoned. "ok come on ya'll", Heavenly surrendered. "good night girls", Prue said. "Night", The girls chorused.
"sIre WhEn ArE wE gOiNg To MoVe FoRwArD wItH tHe PlAn?", Anzu asked. "Patience the plan is moving along as I want it but we have to strike while the iron is hot", Abaddon stated. "wHeN wIlL tHe IrOn Be HoT?", Anzu asked. "In due time Anzu in due time".
"Far away long ago.. glowing dim as an ember... things my heart used to know things it yearns to remember", Heavenly sang, as Cole clapped suddenly. "Oh daddy you surprised me", Heavenly stated. "sorry about that... that was awesome sweetie is that the song you have chosen for your audition?", Cole asked, as Heavenly gave him a hug. "umm I am not I am just testing it to see if it's good". "well you sound beautiful and you are going to do great", Cole assured. "do you think I'll get the part?", Heavenly asked. "well I am not a judge but if I were I would chose you". "are you just saying that because you're my daddy?", Heavenly asked. "umm no maybe but I am serious when I say you can really sing and dance now I am not sure what they are looking for in the audition... but I am sure they will like you and like I have always said if they don't take you there are others who will", Cole said, as Heavenly smiled. "thank you daddy", Heavenly said, giving him a big hug. "no problem baby... where's everybody?", Cole asked "Aunt Prue and Aunt Piper took the babies to park Uncle Leo is with the elders Aunt Paige and Uncle Andy are at work and mommy is taking a shower", Heavenly informed. "Hey sweetie", Phoebe suddenly called as she walked into the sun room. "Hey beautiful", Cole greeted with wide eyes as he took Phoebe in his arms, and the couple shared a short and passionate kiss. "hey handsome how was your day?", Phoebe asked. "It was tiring but I am happy to be finally home", Cole stated as he took a sit on the chair and sat Phoebe on his lap, as she rested her head on his chest while he wrapped his arms around her. "Cole so I went to the doctor today", Phoebe informed. "really? is everything alright?", Cole asked his heart filled with worry. "well-". The conversation was suddenly interrupted with a demon shimmering in. "Heavenly go upstairs now", Phoebe ordered, as she jumped off his lap ready to fight the intruder. Cole threw a few fireballs at the demon but he easily dodged it. The demon then threw a fireball towards Heavenly as she deflected it. "HEAVENLY NOW", Phoebe hollered, as the demon threw a fireball at her and Cole's arms, as they fell to the floor. "MOMMY DADDY", Heavenly cried, as she was now angry. Heavenly then used her icles to throw the demon against a chair, as the chair broke immediately. "stupid little witch", The demon said, as he got up and charged at Heavenly. "GET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER", Phoebe screamed, as she got up and kicked the demon in the face, but the pain in her arm weakened her knees as she fell down in pain. The demon walked towards Phoebe, as Cole threw a fireball at the demon immediately killing him. "UNCLE LEO", Heavenly called, as Leo instantly orbed in, by this time Piper and Prue had came back with the babies. "what's going on here?", Piper asked. "keep the babies away", Cole grunted in pain, as Leo finished healing Phoebe and went to him. "Cole Heavenly", Phoebe called, as she slowly got up. "are you alright Phoebe?", Cole asked, as Leo finished healing him. "yes are you two alright", Phoebe asked, as she hugged Heavenly and Cole. Cole and Heavenly nodded. "how many demons?", Prue asked. "just one", Cole said. "yeah and he was really powerful", Heavenly said. "Heavenly why didn't you leave when I asked you to?", Phoebe asked. "I couldn't leave alone he would have killed you", Heavenly reasoned. "no we could have handled him baby next time just listen to me". "no I have to fight I don't think I can just leave", Heavenly argued. "Heavenly you will leave so you don't get hurt". "Mommy I also have powers too I can fight". Phoebe sighed in frustration. "Heavenly stop talking back to your mother", Cole said. Heavenly shook her head as she walked out of the sun room. "what's up with her?", Leo asked. "I don't know but she is becoming more and more stubborn and won't listen to me", Phoebe said. "I think she just wants to help", Prue reasoned. "I know but she is my baby girl and I don't want her to be hurt". "yes and you are her mother she doesn't want to loose you too", Prue said. "she shouldn't worry I am supposed to protect her not the other way around", Phoebe said passionately, as few tears escaped her eyes. "Phoebe", Cole called as she walked out.
"ThE DeMoN wAs VaNqUiShEd SiRe WhAt ArE wE wAiTiNg FoR", Anzu complained. "Anzu you have to have patience so we don't end up like him don't you see this is why many demons are killed because they attack without a plan whatsoever unless you want to end up like that we have to follow my way", Abaddon reasoned. "AlRiGhT i SuRrEnDeR bUt ThIs BeTtEr WoRk". "yes it will". The two demons walked through the underworld as screams could be heard in a distance. "I aM fEeLiNg LiKe gOiNg oN a InNoCeNt kIlLiNg SpReE cArE tO jOiN mE?". "no you go ahead and have fun", Abaddon said, as Anzu nodded and went his own way excitement filled his eyes.
Without saying anything Cole walked into Heavenly's room, as Phoebe was patting Heavenly's back as she cried into her pillow. "Heavenly baby it's going to be alright", Phoebe comforted, as tears fell down her eyes. Cole rubbed Phoebe's back and kissed her neck. Phoebe thanked him with a small smile. "Heavenly", Cole called, as she got up and looked at Cole. "you are never going to loose us we are going to live to watch you grow into a beautiful woman", Cole assured. "but demons always want to kill my family and they killed my other parents", Heavenly sobbed. "Listen Heavenly that's how it is but we are always going to win every battle". "how sure are you?", Heavenly asked. "I believe that we will and I know no matter what we go through it will be ok... you've got to believe that", Cole comforted, as Heavenly went into his arms, as her sobs subsided. "now you have to listen whenever you are told to leave.. yes you have powers but we do too and we want to protect you", Phoebe said. "I'll try", Heavenly said. "Heavenly", Cole called. "ok fine I'll listen", Heavenly sighed, as she put her hands up in surrender. "I'm excited for my Annie audition", Heavenly stated. "yes and I am sure you'll do great", Cole said. "yeah and we will all be there to support you", Phoebe added. "thanks... I think I am hungry now", Heavenly stated. "go see what aunt Prue is making for dinner", Phoebe said, as Heavenly nodded and left the room. The couple smiled, as they linked arms and went to their room to wash up for dinner. "Phoebe so what happened when you went to the hospital?", Cole asked. "I found out that I am three months pregnant", Phoebe revealed, as a big smile appeared on Cole's face. "Phoebe that's great", Cole said, as he held her in his arms and kissed her, Phoebe laughed happily. "it's so weird that you and Piper are always Pregnant around the same time", Cole commented. "yeah it's like it was planned", Phoebe joked, winking at Cole. "yes definitely planned...so are we going to tell the family?", Cole asked. "not yet due to my past miscarriages I think we should wait for a while before we tell everyone", Phoebe reasoned. Cole nodded in agreement. "yes finally a new baby... don't worry baby daddy won't let anything happen to you", Cole talked to Phoebe's stomach in a baby voice, as she laughed.
Heavenly woke up early, she was so excited for her audition for Annie in New York. Heavenly decided to go take a shower, quietly so she wouldn't wake everyone up. After showering she decided to wear her favourite blue dress. She brushed her hair, due to her Afro she felt she could get the part, because she was always taught that the look is everything. She finished dressing up as she put a big blue bow on her head. Heavenly could hear Aria crying from her room. Look who's awake, she thought. By the time she finished packing her dance bag, she realized that the house was really quiet, chills were sent through her spine, due to how unusual this was for this family. "Mommy... daddy", Heavenly called as she knocked on her parents rooms. Aria was still crying. With no answer she opened the door to find no one inside. Heavenly made her way to the babies room, where Aria stood on her crib and was crying. Wyatt and Sophia slept soundly. Heavenly carried Aria in her arms and patted her back as she made her way to Prue and Andy's room, opening the door to find no one inside. "Aunt Prue Uncle Andy", Heavenly called as she was trying to stay calm, as Aria was crying softly. Heavenly went around the house to find that it was completely empty. By this time Sophia and Wyatt were awake as they orbed and shimmered in front of Heavenly. "Ivily", They both called. "I don't know where everybody is", Heavenly said, but she knew the babies needed a change. "Ok let's go to your room so I can change you", Heavenly said, as she held Sophia and Wyatt's hand as Wyatt orbed them upstairs. "Uncle LEO", Heavenly called, but there was no answer Heavenly was now more worried. Heavenly started with Aria, she had watched her mom and aunts change the babies all the time, so she had an idea on how it worked. After changing the babies she took them to the kitchen and fed them their bottle. "mommy", Wyatt called. "yeah I don't know where they are", Heavenly replied.
Piper woke up feeling aches every where, she rubbed her belly in relief. She didn't really fully remember what had happened, but the fear and the pain she felt was magnified, so she cried out. "Piper", she could hear Paige call. "Paige?", Piper asked. Paige then came running towards Piper. "Piper are you alright?", Paige asked as she went to her sister's side. "I think so where's everybody?". "I don't know I have been walking around but I couldn't find anyone", Paige replied as she used her thump to wipe tears from her sister's eyes. "we have to find them", Piper said, as she tried to stand up but the pain sat her back down. "Take it easy Piper so you don't hurt yourself", Paige advised. "I know but we can't just sit around everyone could be hurt... LEO". "I have already tried calling you are the only one that replied and it's too dark to see", Paige said. "I am fine can we just look around please", Piper begged. "ok but get ready to freeze", Paige said, as she helped Piper up from the ground. The duo made their way around the unknown location, their eyes were adjusting to the darkness. Around them there were torches of fire sticks near the walls, and that was the only light source, which didn't do much lighting up. Once in a while they called for others but got no answer.
The door bell rang as Heavenly ran to answer it. "Grandma", Heavenly said giving Yolanda a big hug. "I came as fast as I could are you alright?", Yolanda asked. Heavenly shook her head as she continued to cry. "I don't know where everyone is I woke up and found no one around", Heavenly cried. "Everything is going to be alright", Yolanda assured. Then Sophia shimmered next to Heavenly, as she was crying. Yolanda took her in her arms trying to console her. "MOMMY", Sophia cried. "Sophia Wyatt and Aria have been crying and I don't know what to do", "Heavenly sobbed. "I don't want my family to die". "don't worry sweetie we are going to figure out a way do you want to come stay at my house?", Yolanda asked. Heavenly immediately shook her head in disapproval. "Ok I'll come and stay here it's going to be alright... have you eaten Lunch". Heavenly shook her head. "ok I will go make something after I put the babies down for a nap". "thank you grandma", Heavenly said, hugging Yolanda. "no problem baby just try to stay positive", Yolanda stated.
"COLE", Phoebe called as she coughed violently due to the dust that was everywhere. "PIPER PRUE PAIGE SOMEONE". Phoebe stood up as she felt a sharp pain on her leg. Tears blurred her vision as she could hear whispers in the distance. Phoebe then started to crawl after wiping the tears off her face, she tried to moved away from the whispers but they just seemed to continue to surround her. Phoebe tried to sustain her coughs to avoid being caught by whatever or whoever was whispering in the distance. The violent cough over powered her as she let out series of coughs. Then she realized that she couldn't hear the whispers anymore, panic arose in her heart as she quickly hid behind a big rock. Three figures could be seen wearing a big robe with a hood that was covering half their faces. "where she go?", One of figures asked in an audible whisper. "we have to get her", Another one pitched in. "it's not like she has anywhere to run", The third one laughed. "let's go". The three figures then walked away. Phoebe then got up from her seat she had to walk, she couldn't just crawl her hands were already bleeding. Phoebe stood up as she held in her scream of pain. "It's alright baby mommy is going to get us out of here", Phoebe whispered to her belly, as she rubbed her little bump.
"Heavenly", Yolanda called as she walked into Heavenly's room. Soft cries could be heard from the attic. "Heavenly", Yolanda called as panic rose in her heart, she made her way to attic, and found Heavenly holding unto Sophia and they were both crying. "It's alright", Yolanda said as carried Sophia in her arms hugged the two sisters. "I'm scared grandma something bad has happened to my family", Heavenly sobbed. "we are going to find them do not worry yourself", Yolanda assured. "but how you don't even have powers and I don't want to go back to foster care and I don't want to be separated from my cousins and sister", Heavenly sobbed. "no no sweetie you are not going anywhere and no one is going to separate you... I am going to stay here with the four of you and I'll make sure that you are alright". "but demons might come after us", Heavenly complained. "I know but we will be fine". The conversation was interrupted with the sound of the door bell. "go to your room with Sophia and stay with Wyatt and Aria", Yolanda instructed. "no I am coming with you I have to protect you". "nothing is going to happen to me alright now go", Yolanda ordered. "let's go your room Sophia", Heavenly said, as they both shimmered away. Yolanda made her way to the front door. "who's there?", Yolanda asked at the door. "It's me Amber", The voice called back. Yolanda sighed in relief and opened the door. "hey Amber what brings you over?", Yolanda asked, as she let Amber in. "I have been trying to reach Phoebe Piper Prue and Paige for some days now and I just feel something is wrong... Is everything alright?", Amber said, as they made their way to living room. "umm yes... I mean no... the truth is everyone have been missing for a couple days now it's just the kids that are here", Yolanda said, as tears threatened to fall. "what? have you reported this to the police?. "No I only informed Darryl and he is doing everything he can because and Heavenly has been having nightmares every night about them and she can't talk about it without crying", Yolanda explained, as her tears fell. "If it's demonic then I can help", Amber stated. "it has to be demonic more than half of the family was kidnapped with no trace of where they are", Yolanda stated her voice shaking in fear. "what about Heavenly I mean she is a witch a child of a charmed one.. with her help we might actually find the rest of her family", Amber reasoned. "yeah but she's a little girl and I wouldn't want anything to happen to her". "I understand but power has no age she might be a child but she is very powerful I have seen what she can do", Amber said. "we have to find another way". "are you a witch?", Amber asked. "no my son got it from my husband", Yolanda revealed. "so that means we have limited options Heavenly has to help if we must find her family", Amber said. "It's too dangerous and I would never forgive myself if something were to happen to her", Yolanda stated. "we can all go together and come up with a plan because she's in more danger due to the fact that we don't know what we are up against", Amber reasoned. Yolanda shook her head. Amber sighed in frustration. "look I don't want anything to happen to my grand baby what's wrong with that?", Yolanda voiced her frustration. "Miss Amber is right grandma", Heavenly's voice could suddenly be heard. "hey baby I thought I told you to stay upstairs". "I want to find my family I know I can", Heavenly stated, tears falling down her eyes. "It's too dangerous Heavenly and you aren't doing anything but going upstairs to stay with your sister and cousins". "STOP IT GRANDMA", Heavenly screamed. "I'm sorry I have to help I can't just sit around my family needs me". Yolanda buried her face in her hands. "ok but you need to work with your dad", Yolanda stated. "why I don't need him I can do this on my own". "I know he did terrible things but he is the only other option we have", Yolanda stated the bitter truth. "I don't think so Miss Amber can also help out", Heavenly stated. "Yeah except I don't have active powers". "so you have to work with your dad". "No if you make me I'll never talk to you again", Heavenly stated, breaking Yolanda's heart. "HEAVENLY LISTEN-". "NO I don't want anything to do with him and if you won't help me... then I'll find my own way", Heavenly concluded as she angrily stormed out. "HEAVENLY".
"Prue... LEO...Piper Paige Phoebe", Andy called, as he walked through the candle lit cave of some sort. His right eye swollen and he couldn't even remember previous events to this moment, but all he could feel was pains around his body. "PRUE". Andy stopped dead in tracks as foot steps could be heard around him, he couldn't tell which direction, the ache and worry grew as he tried to see through the partially lit place. "who's there?", Andy asked, as the foot steps seemed to be approaching him. "hello", A voice called. Leaving Andy confused it sounded like a little kid. Then a little brunette Caucasian girl who looked about 9 or 10 years old appeared before Andy. "come on we have to move fast", The little stated. "what?... who are you?", Andy asked, feeling weird listening to a little girl. "I'll answer all your questions later we have to go they are coming and if they get here they'll kill you... now come on". The little girl held Andy's hand and guided him through the lightly dimmed hallway. Far behind them footsteps could be heard along with sighs of annoyance and disappointment. The little girl took Andy to a little room with a little bed and a little table that had a first aid kit on it. "Just lay down I'll clean your wounds", The little girl ordered sweetly. Even though he had a lot of questions, Andy still felt a little safe with her.
Prue ran she didn't know who was chasing her but she didn't care she just ran. She had cuts all over her arms and she couldn't remember much from previous events but she knew that the Halliwel family were in big trouble. All she could hope for was that everyone was doing alright. Prue went to quiet and secluded area, as she tried to astral project to reach anyone in her family, but something was blocking her magic. She could feel herself trying to astral project, but just for the magic to be back fired. Prue was suddenly interrupted with a sound of footsteps. She quietly listened as she heard hushed male voices as the two figures walked by. 'what the heck is going on?', Prue thought. Suddenly one of the figures turned back and looked in the direction of where Prue was crouched down. One of figures whispered to the other, but Prue couldn't understand what was being said. Then suddenly the two figures walked towards where Prue hid, by this time Prue stood up ready to fight. The two hooded figures ran towards her. Prue immediately kicked one in the stomach and used her telekinesis to throw the other one against a wall falling unconscious. Prue and the conscious figure fought until Prue was able to finish the fight by stabbing the demon with a sharp rock, as the demon was instantly killed. Without wasting time Prue ran towards the other demon and held him in a head lock as he was starting to wake up. "Where is the rest of my family?", Prue asked. "I don't know I swear", The demon stated. "If you don't tell me then I'll kill you", Prue threatened. "I already said I don't know... we were minding our business before we spotted you", The demon pleaded. Prue then stabbed him on the chest as he blew up and died. She didn't have time for this she had to find her family.
"Ugh this is so annoying", Heavenly exclaimed as she slammed the book of shadows shut. "Heavenly", Yolanda called. Heavenly looked up to see Yolanda carrying a plate of food. "you have to eat you haven't eaten since yesterday", Yolanda stated. "I am not hungry", Heavenly mumbled, avoiding eye contact. "honey I am sorry for upsetting you but you have to eat your parents won't be happy if they knew you weren't eating". "How can I eat when I can't find my family anywhere... I feel so useless", Heavenly stated, as the tears she had been holding in streamed down her face. "I'm sorry". "I am not mad at you... you were just trying to help", Heavenly said, as they both shared a hug. "now can you please eat so we can move on with the plan", Yolanda said, as she handed Heavenly the plate. Heavenly nodded with a smile. "Thank you grandma".
