"What?" Leo said standing up and hugging Piper "oh honey thats, great!" Phoebe and Paige sat smiling at Piper and Leo, they were so happy for them, Piper had just told everyone that she was pregnant, by the reaction of Leo they had been trying for a child for a while. Me. I sat there awkwardly, sitting on the sofa looking at my parents as they embraced each other. "Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?" Phoebe asked "how would she? she only just found out!" Paige replied, Piper smiled at them, then looked at me " actually I do know, its a girl..." Paige looked confused "but.." Piper put up her hand, indicating Paige to stop talking " as I was saying, its a girl, and Leo you might find this a little shocking, well all of you will, but I know what she looks like at the age of 13" Piper smiled and glanced at me, I tried to smile back, but I was so nervous, Leo gasped, finally catching onto what Piper was saying, he looked at me as if I had just appeared out of nowhere, I just stared at him, trying to see if he was happy, scared or angry, he seemed happy. Phoebe and Paige were staring at me, I guess they had figured it out as well, suddenly I felt even more uncomfortable until I felt soft but comforting arms around me which I hadn't felt in a long time "mum" I whispered and hugged back "yeah baby, im here" Over Piper's, or should I say mum's shoulder I saw Leo or my dad coming over ot join the hug, he put his strong arms around me and Piper, and then I knew that was it, I was home.
I

t had been a few months since I found out Piper and Leo was my mum and dad, they decided that I should stay incase it was too dangerous for me in the future, even though I begged to differ, not that I didn't want to stay but it was just to confusing, I mean one day I had no idea where my parents were then all of a sudden I am seeing my parents and im not even born yet. Mum is really showing now, only 3 months left until the big day, I seriously hope I can see myself being born, apparently the doctor said that there are twins but I don't remember having a twin in the future, maybe it dies or we're separated at birth.

"Melinda? you getting up?" dad shouted from my bedroom door, well actually Phoebe's bedroom door, but im using it as mine until I go back or forward, depends which way you look at it "im coming, im coming, im..." I replied picking up my bag, I opened the door ending up face to face with my dad "here!" I said smiling, I hugged him, I was totally a daddy's girl, and I flung my bag over my shoulder and ran down the stairs. Dad shook his head and walked down after me, I have finally got used to calling them mum and dad, but it still feels strange at times, I haven't called anyone mum and dad for 3 years now, I wonder why they left me, they seem like the sort of people who wouldn't leave their child unless they had a good reason, maybe they had gotten exposed and they didn't want me to get caught up in it all, so they had to leave me, well they sort of left in the middle of the night leaving me a note saying that they had gone, it was for the greater good and that auntie Paige was still at her house if I needed her. I thought all these things while bouncing into the Kitchen. " Hi Pheebs" I said hugging my aunt "Hey Mel" I looked around trying to find my mum "She was admitted to hospital last night" Phoebe said like she was reading my mind, I looked at her with mixed feelings "how did you know I was looking for mum? and is she ok?" Phoebe smiled "your a splitting image of your mother, you have the same face as your mum did when she tried looking for our mum, and we think she is fine, me and your dad are going to visit her today" Paige and Leo walked into the kitchen " i'm coming too" I said looking at Phoebe then at my dad, " no sweetheart, your staying here, you've got school" dad replied, I looked at him, putting on my cute face "but, dad? Please, I want to see if mum is ok" He shook his head, giving me a firm look, I knew I defiantly wasn't going to get round him today, I sighed " Fine, but how am I going to get to magic school? your not going to be there to orb me, and I don't have my powers in this time" Paige stood up "that's where I come in, as the head teacher I have to go in early and I'll just orb you with me" Leo nodded a thanks at Paige, who smiled in return, "there, now me and Phoebe are going now, so Mel? be good at school please and don't worry, mum's going to be fine" Dad hugged me and kissed my forehead.

Im sitting in a hospital chair looking in on my mum fighting for her and my life. So much had happened in the last 24 hours, Me and Paige had got home from magic school to be told by my aunt Phoebe that my twin had died and mum and little me was fighting for our lives, when we got to the hospital dad was a wreck, I ran up to him and hugged him, he didn't want to let me go "don't worry dad, me and mum aint going anywhere" I promised him. "her waters have broken early, one of the twins has died" the doctor informed us, everyone was worried. only one person was allowed to go and see mum I thought it would be best if dad went, he had to tell her the bad news, so dad went into mums room while me, Phoebe and Paige sat anxiously waiting for any news. "Hey, she's going to be fine" Paige tried to lighten my moods, but nothing worked I just sat there sulking, I tried not to cry, my eyes were starting to hurt from so much crying. Dad came out slightly happier than when he went in "She's stable now, she's in the early stages of labor" he looked at me "Hey Mel, you want to see your mum?" I nodded slightly and walked over to him and he led me into mums room "i'll just be outside, if you want me" he said leaving me alone with mum, I crept over to her taking her hand "mum? mum, can you hear me? it's me Mel, your going to be ok, I know you are, please be strong, you know I said I never had a twin in the future, well it died during your struggle" I waited for an answer of some kind, after no success I moved closer and bent down to her ear "mum please, I need you, dad needs you, you need to get through this, we...we both do" I started to cry leaning my head on her shoulder, I heard the door open but I couldn't be bothered to look who had come in "Mel? honey, its ok, come here, she's going to be fine" a strong, comforting hand went on my shoulder and I turned around and lent into my dad, he picked me up, I didn't care if it was babyish to be carried, but I needed it at the moment, I needed comfort and love, he carried me out and by the time we got outside of mums room I had cried myself to sleep.
