A/N: I hope you don't hate me for the wait! I have major tests coming up, and I want to be prepared.

As the blue light receded, Alex looked down at her girls. They looked fine. The children had the traditional Cabot blonde hair and blue eyes. They didn't really look like their father. Alex looked at her mother, who avoided her gaze.

"Mother, what's going on?" asked Alex slowly. The twins, Nicole and Michael, along with Lauren glanced suspiciously at their mother.

"Fine. I am a witch. So was your father. When he was killed by demons, I bound your powers and we moved away," Zoey huffed. Alex looked shocked.

"So… what are our powers?" asked Lauren.

"I don't know what powers you have now. But Nikki had the power of telekinesis. Mike had the power to conjure things. Alex could manipulate fire. Lauren could manipulate electricity," Zoey explained. The Cabot's looked shocked. Zoey looked to the ground sheepishly.

A week later, Phoebe was out looking for a job. She had been denied a job at several places. What her sisters didn't know is that she had finished her classes at college. She had a degree in psychology. One last place to look at, the Bay Mirror. Phoebe walked in, as a brunette lady walked out. An older looking woman burst through later.

"People don't want your advice," she shouted. The lady gave her the finger. Phoebe smirked. She had found the perfect job. She filled out an application, answered some questions, and waited.

Two hours later, Phoebe walked in the door with a smile on her face. She walked into the living room, and her eyes widened. Prue was sitting on the floor with a baby that could be no older than 6 months old. Phoebe watched her older sister play with the little baby. He had her blue eyes and Andy's black hair.

"What's his name?" she asked softly. Prue jumped about five feet in the air.

"His name is Preston David Halliwell," she said. Phoebe smiled softly.

"How old is he?" asked the younger sister.

"Preston is 5 months old. I was 4 months pregnant when you left," came the reply. Phoebe smiled slightly, and sat down on the couch. The brunette stared at the floor as she thought about why she left for New York. It had been many other things besides the fact that she was pregnant. One was the fact that Grams died. Another was that Prue was never proud of her. Phoebe thought that the older witch didn't love her. That had hurt her more than anything. The one thing she didn't know was that Prue had gained the power of telepathy, just like the others. Prue frowned deeply at hearing this thought. She thought they had worked things out. The black-haired witch turned to her infant son.

"Preston, go upstairs," she said to him quietly. He orbed to the nursery. Prue got up off the floor, and walked over to her younger sister.

"Don't think like that Pheebs. I've always loved you, and I always will," Prue said. Phoebe then looked at her with only the smallest bit of the same trust she had for Prue when she was a young child. The look in Phoebe's eyes made Prue's heart break. She wanted to make it all better. No, she needed to make it all better. Prue wrapped her arms around her younger sisters tiny frame. The brunette woman broke down into sobs. Prue comforted her sister, as Piper and Paige watched from behind the door.

The next day, Phoebe, Piper, and Prue had to work. So did Alex. Paige volunteered to baby-sit the seven babies. It was summer, so Paige was not in college. Besides, it wasn't really hard, seeing as she only had to feed and change them. She was currently sitting in the living room watching T.V. and feeding Lizzy. Then, she changed everyone. It was a really rainy Friday, so Paige left everyone in their pajamas. Preston was sitting on the floor playing with blocks, while the babies were in swingers or bouncy chairs. Paige was watching the Little Mermaid. All of a sudden, Alex appeared in front of her. Paige orbed out in fright.

"Gosh Alex! Don't do that!" she said when she reappeared. Alex laughed, and picked up Cassie. Or so she thought.

"Hi Cassie," she cooed. Paige chuckled, as Alex looked at her.

"That's not Cassie. That's Gabby!" Paige busted out in laughter. Alex pouted. Paige laughed even harder. Alex played with her children for a little while, and then went back to work. Andy stopped in for a while too. When her sisters got home, Paige orbed Lizzy, Cassie, and Gabby to Olivia and Alex's house. After that she orbed home to play with her nieces and nephews.

Phoebe noticed something odd about Piper the next day. She was very quiet, and kept smiling at Leo. Phoebe, who was as nosey as she was inquisitive, kept asking Piper questions. Piper said to wait until tonight. Phoebe just pouted. Leo said the same thing as his wife, but only in fear that she would blast him to oblivion and back. That evening, Piper and Leo gathered everyone in the living room. They had an announcement to make. Phoebe smiled gleefully.
"Leo and I have an announcement to make!" Piper said to her family and friends. They all stopped chatting, and gave the brunette and the blonde their full attention.

"Piper and I just found out that, well come March, there will be more kids around," Leo announced proudly. Everyone was silent for a moment, before jumping up to give congratulations. Piper threatened to blow up anyone who touched her stomach. That just made everyone laugh.

The next day, Phoebe and Prue were babysitting the children. The babies were currently napping peacefully in the nursery. The two sisters were watching Little Mermaid. All of a sudden, Phoebe turned to Prue. She took a deep breath.

"Prue, I haven't been completely honest with you," she told her oldest sister. Prue looked confused.

"I know who raped me," Phoebe said, waiting for the verbal abuse she was about to get. Prue turned off the television.

"Who was it?" asked Prue, the picture of calmness. Phoebe was confused, especially when Prue wrapped her in a hug.

"His name is Jacob Smith. He has midnight black hair and medium blue eyes. He cornered me one evening while I was coming home from Maryanne's. He put tape over my mouth and tied my hands together. Then he raped me. He told me his name, and that one day, he'd be back to take what was his," Phoebe told her. Prue hugged her sister as the young one burst into tears. The two sat like this until Preston woke up.
