Recap – Patti stared at her mother. She was certainly startled. So much so in fact that only one word formed on her lips.
"WHAT!"
Chapter Three
Penny looked upon her daughter in wonder and confusion. She thought Patti would be extremely happy with her plan.
"Patti, Are you all right?"
"No Mother. I'm not. Are you crazy! That is almost impossible to do!" Patti answered. A mixture of hope and sadness laced her voice. Although the idea itself sounded hopeful and happy accomplishing it would be a different matter. She thought her mother knew that already.
"Well," Penny huffed. "I thought you would be happy about it. I hardly expected you to be upset! Besides, as you said it is almost impossible to do meaning there is still a way and I intend to find it." Her blue eyes sparkled with indignation.
"No Mother, of course I'm happy. How could I not be? It would be wonderful to see all of my daughters alive and together! It's just that – "
"No buts! We are going to do this and everything will be right again."
"I suppose you're right. Let's go bring our family back together." Patti replied. Her brown eyes shined with unspoken happiness and hope.

The light shone through the large windows of the manor landing on a queen size bed in one particular room. Piper groaned and opened her eyes slightly but closed them just as quickly. The sun hurt her eyes. She turned away from the window and climbed out of the warm covers. She walked slowly to the door, the hardwood floor cool against her feet. As she went to turn the doorknob she noticed a book lying on the floor next to the old oak dresser. She lent over and picked it up. It was an old photo album. Tears pricked at Piper's brown eyes as she peeled away the slightly worn cover, revealing pictures of her, Phoebe and Prue when they were younger. She ran her fingers over the picture of her family that was taken when the sisters had gone to the past. Piper closed the album and placed it gently on the dresser.
"I miss everyone so much……" She thought to herself as she headed down the stairs and into the kitchen. As she entered the kitchen she saw Phoebe at the table drinking coffee while writing a piece for her column. Phoebe looked up from her paper and smiled.
"Hey sleepy head! Glad to see you're finally up and running!" Phoebe said happily.
"Morning Pheebs." Piper answered while making her own cup of coffee. The coffee maker dinged and she set her finished cup on the counter. She made her way over to Wyatt, who, sat in his highchair.
"Mama!" He gurgled happily. Piper smiled.
"Hey sweetie. Did you have a good night's sleep?" she cooed planting a soft kiss on his forehead. She turned to Phoebe.
"Phoebe, Where is everyone?" Phoebe took a swig of her coffee and placed it back down on the table before answering.
"Well, Chris is still sleeping peacefully in the nursery and Leo said he needed to go to the hardware store to buy some tools."
"What about Paige?"
"Paige said she was going to the attic to check something in the Book of –"
"Ah!" Phoebe and Piper shared a look. They ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs. It sounded like Paige and it was coming from the Attic. They ran though the open door of the attic and could only look on in shock at what they saw.
