lizzie, sorry about any confusion. here is a lovely chapter with the beginning of wyatt and chris's resentment towards each other. enjoy..........................................................................................................................................

Piper looked back at the factor that they weren't freezing as she saw their blue white eyes search for the source that had stopped their attack. They didn't have to search far to find the source. Their eyes glittered in fury when they found Piper and Phoebe standing there.

"Oh, crap." Piper whispered.

An energy ball was instantly thrown at them.

Wyatt, who had instinctively gotten up so quickly out of his chair that it toppled over, used his telekinesis to reverse its course. From there he, quickly moved over to his family to see what he could do to protect his family.

It was times like these he wished that his Aunt Pheebs had real powers. Piper gave her oldest son a slight smile as her attention trained back over the twins. They both had seen them combine hands as well as it seemed powers and looked at each other in their silent communication.

Piper and Phoebe both gave each other a look.

They both had about the same disgust towards the twins. Not only were they the most unnatural looking human beings on earth, but they were creepy as hell with the whole silent communication thing.

"Times like these I wish I were a telepath," Phoebe mused.

"Mom, do you have any idea who they are?" Wyatt asked as he sent two of the energy balls coming in their direction back at the twins. They both shimmered out and then back in once the danger had past.

"Nope." a table was thrown at them along with another set of energy balls. Wyatt had enough time to deflect the energy balls, but the table was barreling straight at them still.

Piper who had been about to tell her oldest son about her assumption over the twins being separated would give them a better chance was caught in danger. She had to freeze the table because if she didn't there was about two seconds left before it would hit them all and then they would be out of service for awhile and innocents would be hurt.

Before she could freeze the table though it was thrown out of the path. She looked for her savior and saw a rumpled, weary looking Chris coming in a hurry from the backroom. He nodded towards her as she took a heavy angry sigh.

"So, what do you want us to do?" Wyatt asked as he threw a table at the twins to see how they liked it this time.

Piper threw her hands up in the air, "I don't know. Everything. All I can think of is maybe if we separate them they won't be as powerful."

"Okay, well you freeze them and I'll use my telekinesis to separate them." Wyatt told her as he quickly thought on his feet.

She shook her head at him. Just then Chris joined them and stood beside his mother and Aunt Phoebe.

"Hey, mom. Think you could take care of this with a little less noise?" Chris asked.

"Sorry, I wasn't given the decision here. Dumb and Dumber appeared and started throwing energy balls at innocents. Not to mention the lead singer of the band that I just booked for next weekend!"

"So, what? You saving your assets or what, Mom?" Chris asked with a Cheshire smile.

"Shut up, you. You know what I mean." Piper said, wagging her index finger at her son.

"Alright, what 's the plan then?" Chris asked, getting back to the real danger of the moment.

"Well, I thought mom could freeze Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dumb and I'd use my telekinesis to separate them so they aren't as powerful." Wyatt told Chris.

"Okay? Where in that whole plan did you forget about the three other people who could fight?" Chris asked his older brother as he folded his arms over his chest.

"About the time you hadn't appeared yet because you and your girlfriend were in the backroom making out." Wyatt wise cracked.

"Hey! Hey now. None of that." Piper reprimanded her oldest son.

"Yeah, you guys, back to your corners. Victoria chose Chris, remember? Whatever they do on their off time is their business." phoebe added as she tried to help the situation and leave the pressure off of a tired looking Piper.

"Yeah. Thanks for the status report Aunt Pheebs." Wyatt replied rolling his eyes heavenwards.

She didn't let the annoyment pass. She knew Wyatt liked Victoria more then he liked to let on. He had watched her every movement like a lovesick puppy since they all had found out she was on their side and not on the evil side. Chris had won her over though and that had pissed Wyatt off a bit.

Phoebe had seen every girl fall for Wyatt. Not many went after Chris once they saw Wyatt. Hell, half the time they went from Chris to Wyatt.

It was just something about him. Now, here was this very powerful and beautiful girl who was basically interlinked with the family and she didn't even give him a sideward glance. It pissed him off knowing that the first girl he had ever really liked had chosen Chris over him.

Well, they had some bad blood in their past lives so Phoebe didn't blame her. She just wished Wyatt would get over it already because in his anger he was starting to push his own little brother away from him.

There, of course, was something else too that was fueling Wyatt's feeling towards Victoria that Phoebe couldn't quite get a handle on. Wyatt had blocked her from that.

He was starting to get really good at that.

"We weren't making out!" Chris replied defensively. "For your information she wasn't feeling well and I was watching over her to make sure she was okay."

"Sure, she wasn't feeling well. Save it for someone who believes you." Wyatt replied.

Wyatt knew it probably was the truth. He had come into the club just in time to see her fainting, but he still would rather not discuss it right now. He didn't want to think about Victoria and how she could quite possibly be a threat to his family.

Instead, he wanted to pay attention to the present demons who liked to try to kill his family and himself.

He instantly used his telekinesis to throw an energy ball out of his family's path. "You see? You weren't paying attention and you nearly got us all flambéed." Wyatt told his brother.

"Yeah, whatever you say Wyatt." Chris replied slitting his eyes in anger.

Chris didn't understand why his brother was being such an ass at the moment. He didn't understand Wyatt anymore. All he did was bicker about him and Victoria being together or else he was so moody it was hard to be around him. Wyatt had used to be his cool older brother that he hung out with all the time. Now, he was barely tolerable for small periods of time.

"Guys, we have bigger problems right now then both of your feuding over the same girl!"Phoebe said clapping her hands together. "So... let's get to work and vanquish these sorry demons before they vanquish us.,"

"Good one," Piper told her sister.

Piper, herself, could barely tolerate the demons. Her son's bickering was enough to drive her insane especially with the baby making her emotions let alone her body wear out quickly.

Just as she thought of the baby she felt it kicking her stomach hard. The baby hit a part of her that it shouldn't have hit. Piper almost lost her footing on the ground as she cried out holding her belly in enormous.

Chris and Phoebe were close enough to grab her as Wyatt threw another table at the twins who were now hiding behind a table that they had flipped over themselves to stay out of their energy balls paths.

"Mom?" Wyatt cried as he turned to look at her after he had deflected their attack.

"Piper? Are you okay? Piper?" Phoebe asked, worriedly holding her sisters elbow as Piper leaned onto her.

"I don't feel so good," Piper told her.

Phoebe nodded. "You guys think you can hold down the fort for this one?"

"Yeah," Chris replied watching his mother worriedly.

"Good. Because I think Piper is down for the count." Phoebe replied.

Phoebe then took her older sister and lead her over to the end of the bar on her way towards the exit of the club.

Piper interrupted, "I am fine. I just need to sit for a minute."

Phoebe watched her sister worriedly.

She looked at her two nephews who now had their attention placed upon the twins. Then she guided her sister into the bar where she had her sit on the floor out of the way of any energy balls. There she felt her wrist against Piper's forehead. It was so cold. She barely felt warm.

"Piper, how long have you been like this?" she asked.

"Phoebe not now. Later, please." Piper pleaded leaning her head back onto the bar as hse closed her eyes to the world around her.

Phoebe looked at her beautiful older sister and bit her lip. She didn't know what was wrong here. She didn't know why Piper was acting like this. It was a lot more important to keep her sister and the baby safe then anything. She didn't understand why her own sister didn't think that.

Phoebe laid her arm over Piper's shoulders and held her sister to her a Piper shook in her grip. From there she could see the reflection of the battle in a small mirror.

Wyatt and Chris were holding their own. And in the distance she saw this man. He looked human, but he had a tint of red to his skin that didn't seem quite right.

He was smiling. No human would be smiling while seeing this going on they would be running for her life. He had clapped his hands together and now was watching as if it were a movie and he was rooting for the evil side.

He was the twins guardian she realized. He was watching to see how good his little minions would do. He was the reason the twins were there and he was the one who pulled the string with them she realized out of no where.

Phoebe went to get a better look when she was instantly hit with a flash. A premonition started to play like an old movie she had played a part in played inside of her head.

Victoria was trying to push through everyone to see what had happened but Wyatt was trying to hold her back. Piper was lying on the ground in the attic and she was crying as she tried to give birth. She was in so much pain... Then, she was dead.

Piper was just lying there not breathing with her eyes fixated on the ceiling. Victoria pushed through and threw Wyatt back at the wall without her telekinesis as she moved to Piper. Phoebe then saw herself go to stop Victoria.

Then, she felt her own body being lifted up an thrown by an unseen power as she was thrown out of Victoria's way. She felt pain radiate through her stomach as she landed on her facedown on something cold and sharp. In her hands she saw blood and she felt a knife fall out of her stomachs wound as she turned onto her back in pain.

Phoebe came out of the premonition clutching at her stomach weakly. It was bleeding profusely. She felt her life edging away as she tried to hang onto her life.
