It was brought to my attention that Melinda has white lighter powers, I just want everyone to know I've watched all eight seasons of the Charmed series only, I don't have the money to buy the comics so whatever goes beyond that point, if I get something wrong, I apologize I just know the stuff from the television series.

"Why, why would you marry a demon?" Piper said nervous.

"Well, for the same reason Aunt Phoebe married Cole and the same reason you were about to marry Jeremy, Love." Patience said with a slight sad tone in her voice.

She knew that Cole and Phoebe's relationship didn't work out but she was only hoping that it would work out for her. It turns out she was wrong, Xavier wasn't the good hearted man she thought he was but that didn't matter at this point. Patience knew when he'd pick the best time to attack and she knew that they needed to get ready; she knew a potion wouldn't kill him but she was hoping that a potion could stun him and they could get him into the crystal cage so she could figure out what Chris has inside of him.

"Right now we need to stay focused mom. Xavier knows better than to attack at the manor when you're with even one of your sisters and he'd never attack at magic school. He'll probably attack the boys and you when you're most vulnerable." Patience said.

"And when is that exactly?" Paige said forcing her hands out of her pockets.

"When you least expect it, while you're asleep."

Paige looked at Piper and Piper looked up at Paige then to Patience and sighed,

"I think it's time to call Phoebe."

Patience looked to the ground biting on the inside of her cheek.

Xavier was down in the underworld looking around and surprised out how things had changed so much in the underworld. He was looking for his younger self, he remembered all the places he used to hang out but couldn't seem to find… well himself. However, he didn't need to; so many people in the underworld were talking about the future Xavier looking for their present Xavier. The Xavier from the future was just shimmering into his former lair when his younger version shimmered in right behind him.

"I've been looking for you." He said.

"I heard, so what are you some kind of shape shifter?" his younger half said.

"I'm you, from the future. I've been sent back to kill a certain Charmed one."

"A Charmed one? I think your bosses set you up and if that's true I must've lost my senses in the future because the Charmed one's can't be killed." The present version of Xavier said.

"It's easy to kill a Charmed one if they're an infant." Xavier said.

The present version of Xavier lowered his eyebrows showing a suspicious look as his future-self gave him a big smirk.

~XxX~

Leo was walking around in the nursery with Chris in his hands still wondering why his children were at magic school without his aunt or his mother. He thought that maybe Wyatt orbed them up there but even if that was the case Piper or Paige would've at least stopped by to pick them back up. Patience poked her head into the nursery and looked around until she caught sight of Leo putting Chris back into the crib. Patience walked up and hugged Leo which caught him off guard so he pulled away from her quickly.

"Wow Dad look at you, you haven't changed a bit… well you've got less gray but other than that you look exactly the same." She said excited.

"I'm sorry; you must have the wrong person. Who are you looking for?" Leo said slightly confused.

"I'm your daughter Patience, don't worry I'm not supposed to be born for like another eleven months but at least this way you have a heads up…" Leo stared at her and she said,

"Um Piper, I mean mom said that she needs you to stay here tonight with the boys."

"Why, what's going on?" Leo said getting worried.

"My husband came back from the future to kill Chris and we're going to try to capture him tonight." She said quickly then ended with a smile making her look like a teenager just admitting that she crashed her father's car while trying to look innocent.

Leo looked at her with a confused expression and Patience tried to smile at him to reassure him that everything would be okay. The plan was for Paige and Patience to stand behind the door of Chris and Wyatt's room and wait for Xavier to come in. Piper would wait in the room across the hall until she got her signal to come in and close the crystal cage. The potions that Paige and Patience would have should be able to stun him, Patience wasn't entirely sure because Xavier was much stronger than the other Hybrids they used stun potions on, she made sure to double the recipe hoping that it would make it stronger. And even though she didn't want to kill him, she and Paige wrote a spell to vanquish him with the power of three just in case. Patience tried to argue the point against Piper that there was no point but she wanted to be safe. When Leo heard the idea, he said it was too dangerous and he didn't think it would work but Patience knew they had to try.

"Not at the expense of my wife and her sisters and definitely not my daughter. If something happens to Piper you won't exist. " Leo said.

"I know that but I promise you he won't kill mom or my Aunts at least not before he gets to Chris and he won't be able to get into magic school once me and my brothers say the protection spell."

"A protection spell doesn't exist it can't be done. Besides you don't even know that your stun potions will work on him." Leo said.

"We were able to create a protection spell in the future; there not even the strongest demon in the underworld can get into magic school. Since that whole Ultimate power battle, Billie has been working on a protection spell and it works. The stun potions will work, it won't last long but it doesn't have to just long enough for Piper to place down the crystal."

Leo didn't think that a spell like that was even possible future or not but Patience assured him that they tried it before and it worked. Once Patience was able to perform the spell with the younger versions of her brothers she hugged Leo and said,

"Thank you Dad."

"For what?"

"For treating me just like you treat my brothers, in the future you made me believe that I was special even though I didn't have the special White Lighter powers like them." Patience said with a sad smile on.

Leo hugged her again and Patience couldn't help but smile bigger. Paige and Piper reluctantly grabbed Phoebe from her honeymoon but Phoebe was worried about her nephews and she was ready to see her future niece. Patience was up in the attic looking through the book of shadows and smiled at all the old spells they used and how empty the book was compared to theirs in the future. She stopped on the page about Cole and started reading it; in her heart she didn't want to hurt Xavier because she did love him but she had to save her brother. Phoebe followed by Paige and Piper walked into the attic making Patience look up. Once she saw Phoebe she closed the book quickly and smiled greeting her aunt. Phoebe put her hands on her cheeks and said,

"Aw, Piper she looks just like you," she walked over to Patience and hugged her and continued,

"She's so beautiful!"

Patience laughed and thanked her catching a glance of her mother,

"I assume mom and Paige told you about the plan, I think that we should start getting ready." Patience said then walked passed her aunt and out of the attic.

"What's wrong with her?" Phoebe asked.

"The demon going after Chris is her husband." Piper answered with a sigh.

She knew how much it hurt her sister when they had killed Cole the first time so she could only imagine that it was eating Patience up on the inside. If Piper could avoid having her confront him she would but she was the only one that knew about his powers and she was probably the only one strong enough to hold him off long enough to get him in the cage if something went wrong.

~XxX~

Xavier was sitting down tossing a fireball up and down while his past-self paced the floor. Xavier looked up and smiled,

"I think it's time to go pay a visit to your future in-laws."

"How do you know it's not a trap?"

"Oh I know it's a trap, Patience knows me too well and I know her too, which is why I knew she'd never expect both of us to be there. You just come one step behind me and guard me from her aunts and her mother. I'll handle her." Xavier said.

"What about the kid?"

"All things come in good time." Xavier said with a smile as he shimmered out.

His past-self followed behind him just as he said.

~XxX~

All was quiet in the house, the lights were off and each one of the charmed ones was in their position waiting for Xavier to show up. Xavier shimmered into the boys' room and Paige threw the stun potion at him. Xavier turned around just in time and held out his hand and stopped the potion from falling. Patience inhaled sharply and stared at Xavier. He gave her a smile and Patience couldn't move.

"Hi honey, aren't you going to welcome me home?" Xavier said.

"Piper now!" Paige screamed.

Piper and Phoebe ran to the front of the door to place the crystal down but Paige and Patience weren't out of the room yet and the present version of Xavier shimmered in and smacked Paige across the room knocking her out. Patience turned to Paige finally snapping out of her trance.

"Aunt Paige!" She said.

"Patience get out of there!" Piper said.

Phoebe went to attack the younger version of Xavier with a levitating round house kick. Piper started blasting away at Xavier but it wasn't affecting him much. Patience ran over to Paige trying to wake her up. Xavier flung Piper across the room and the other Xavier flung an energy ball at Phoebe hitting her on the side.

"No!" His future self said.

Phoebe looked at him with interest as Patience was able to get Paige awake and over to Phoebe. Patience threw the stun potion at the younger version of her husband; it stunned him and Patience tried to blast her Xavier but he shimmered out and reappeared behind Patience grabbing her from behind. Paige healed Phoebe and as she sat up she could catch a glimmer of how Xavier was feeling towards Patience. Then Xavier said,

"I'm sorry." And knocked her out.

The younger version of him was freed from the stun potion and shimmered right after his future-self shimmered out with Patience as his captive. Right after they were gone, Wyatt and Chris showed up outside of their room. Paige stood up and ran over to Piper and healed her; she sat up and asked what happened.

"I'm sorry honey, but he took Patience." Paige said.

Phoebe stood up and walked over to the door and saw Wyatt and Chris.

"Are we too late?" Chris said.

"Mom what happened?"

"Um, Xavier got Patience." Paige answered

"Damn it, I knew it was bad idea sending her here alone." Wyatt said.

"What is he going to do to her?" Piper said upset.

"Don't worry mom he won't hurt her." Wyatt said.

"Okay well how do you know that?" Piper asked.

"Because…" Wyatt sighed and looked at Chris then at his mother and aunts. "He loves her."

"That's ridiculous, if he loved her wouldn't have attacked us, he wouldn't be trying to kill you and he damn sure wouldn't have taken her to God knows where against her will!" Piper said pissed off.

"Calm down Piper we will find her." Paige said patting her back.

"He's right Piper, he loves her I felt it. It was a very strong love he wanted to protect her. I think that's why he's doing this, I could tell back there he didn't really want to hurt us he just wanted her." Phoebe said.

Piper looked at Phoebe scrunching her face; Phoebe could remember how she felt about Cole. Now she would say he was just another demon that burned her but she couldn't ever forget that she loved him once. That love was a fierce love and she remembered how Chris felt about Bianca; she was sure that it was the same with Patience. She was just hoping that it wouldn't put her through as much hell as she went through with Cole.

"Come on you two we've got to save your sister. Upstairs now!" Piper said getting up and directing the grown versions of her sons up to the attic.
