Chapter 22

Episode 9.20

Blow, blow, thou sorrow wind!

Paige awoke and was surrounded by tombstones and the ground was mud as she felt it ooze through her fingers as she pushed herself up. She looked down at her hand and the rain made the mud scattered in all directions and turned her hand red with each drop.

"Trinity," she said as her clear tears made the blood rain streak on her face. She tried to walk forward but her feet would not budge as they were sinking into the thick mud. Paige went to her knees as she read the tombstones and Trinity's name was repeated three times on each one. "No I can't lose her I can't lose any of them," she whimpered as she felt hands on her shoulders.

"Paige this is not real," Prue said and Paige turned to face her.

"I lost her, I did not protect my child Prue I don't deserve any of them," Paige cried as she covered her face. Prue bent down and moved her hands out of the way.

"Paige she is still here and she needs her mother," Prue said as she could feel herself sinking in as Paige was doing the same. "Paige I need you to fight."

"I can't," Paige said while shaking her head back and forth.

Meanwhile the others came back through the portal after Prue. They were greeted with complete and utter destruction as Jade headquarters was taken down to its foundation except for a few pillars of stone on the outside of the dark circle that surrounded Paige. Trees, topsoil and boulders were gone.

"Oh god," Piper said as Kara took in a deep breath and closed her eyes as her home was devastated. Seth put his hand on Kara's back.

"Kara you ok?" he asks.

"Yeah just going to take a lot of time to rebuild," she replied.

"We can help," Phoebe said.

"No this is my job, I am leader of Alda," Kara said.

"There is something I don't understand, I thought the shadow-dells were immune to Alda powers, so how did the steel wall work?" Leo asks.

"Wyatt," Seth replied.

"What do you mean?" Piper asks.

"Honestly I don't know but I think somehow he messed up that immunity," Seth replied.

"Do you think Paige is ok?" Piper asks while picking up some debris.

"Prue is with her and could you not try to clean?" Leo said as he put his hand on hers.

"Sorry nervous habit," Piper replied.

"Mom I am sorry for what happened," Phoenix said while looking down at the floor.

"Its ok sweetie I know you did not mean it, but I am a little confused, your eyes were a little red and I don't mean bloodshot," Phoebe said and Phoenix started picking up debris as well and putting it into stacks of four. "Phoenix."

"I use vampire blood on occasion to help heal and give me quickness," Phoenix replied.

"Does that mean you're a vampire?" Piper asks.

"No I don't have the fangs or the need to feed, just when I fight I can lose control and kill anything that comes around me," Phoenix replied.

"Oh probably should have asked before I came to help you," Phoebe said.

Leo walked over to Kara as she was looking at a statue that was missing most of its parts.

"Kara we can help you know," Leo said.

"You can't stay," Kara said and faced him.

"What why?" Piper asks.

"Once Paige is out of the comma you guys need to go home," Kara replied.

"Not without you," Leo said as his lower lip quivered.

"Dad I can't explain why it will be ok, but it will you just need to trust me," Kara said as she put her hands into his.

"I can't do this again," Piper said and started to walk off towards the direction where Paige and Prue were laying on the ground.

"Piper," Phoebe said and followed her.

"No Phoebe its Chris all over again," Piper said as she kept walking as Phoebe tried to keep up.

"It is not Chris again, she will be ok," Phoebe said and stood in front of her.

"Phoebe Paige just lost her daughter and I know how that feels. I barely survived it when you told me what happened to future Chris," Piper said.

"Trinity is right next to Henry and Chris is right next to Kara and she is in there," Phoebe said while pointing to Piper's stomach.

"I know but it does not help the pain," Piper said.

Back inside Paige's head, Prue was struggling to pull her and her baby sister out of the mud.

"Dammit Paige fight," Prue said as the tombstones began to sink as well.

"Why – why does this happen to us Prue, why do we lose our kids after everything we do?" Paige asks as the mud was now up to her chest.

"Remember what the Archangel said, death is never permanent with us," Prue replied.

"I don't want to outlive my kids," Paige said.

"And if the kids lose their parents, is the suffering not longer. You have Sophia and Trinity waiting for you and they need their mother. Paige we know what it is like to lose our mother don't make them go through that," Prue said and Paige dropped her head and the sinking stopped. She then looked her oldest sister in the eyes.

"You're right," Paige said and began to pull herself up with Prue's help.

"That's my girl," Prue said and they both struggled to stand on top of the mud as the tombstones rose with them and then began to disappear.

"Let's get out of here," Paige said.

"Close your eyes and focus on waking up," Prue said and Paige did what she asks.

"Paige," Piper said as she was kneeled down next to her.

"Piper," Paige said and Piper gave a sideways smile.

"Yeah and you leave quite a mark," Piper said as she helped Paige up and looked around.

"They are not going to make me pay for this are they, because my pay sucks," Paige said and they all gave a little laugh as she and Prue stood up.

"Is it over?" Piper asks.

"For now," Prue replied.

"What about the remaining Elders that we did not fight," Paige asks.

"There will be another time for that and that is when you will combine your new power in order to fight them," Prue replied.

"Considering the devastation one causes, are you sure you want us to combine them?" Piper asks nervously.

"It will happen on its own when it needs too," Prue replied as she dusted herself off.

"That will be interesting," Paige said as she walked back to the rumble remains of Jade headquarters. Henry was holding the two babies in his arms and Paige took Trinity. "Hi sweetie and thank you," she whimpered while holding her tight.

"You guys should go," Kara said as she pulled out her tablet.

"Why can't you come back, just for a little while I can make your favorite," Piper said while playing with her hands.

"Mom I'm sorry but this tablet will only work one more time and I need to close the portal from this side," Kara said as she fought back tears.

"What is that noise?" Henry asks while looking around.

"It sounds like a baby," Paige said and looked at her kids but neither one of them were crying.

"Its over here," Henry said and moved some broken pieces of wood out of the way and a boy baby was crying and coved in dirt.

"Oh come here little one," Paige said and picked him up after handing Trinity to Prue.

"Whose is he?" Henry asks.

"I knew his parents, they died in the battle," Kara replied.

"Henry we can't just leave him," Paige said as she has already fallen in love with the little boy with beautiful glowing emerald eyes.

"He is Jade," Kara said.

"Paige are you wanting to keep him?" Henry asks as he wiped off some of the dust that was on him.

"We could name him Henry Junior," Paige replied.

"Kara do you think anyone would mind?" Henry asks.

"No and I could not think of better parent's, besides my own to take care of him," Kara replied.

"Ok Henry Junior welcome to the family," Paige said and the little boy smiled.

"Kara I don't want you to stay here," Chris said as he held on to her leg.

"Come here buddy," Kara said as she picked him up.

"Who will protect you?" he asks while putting his head on her shoulder.

"Seth can do that," Kara replied as she wiped his tears away.

"But," Chris said while playing with her necklace.

"And you need to protect me when I am born," Kara said and Chris put his arms around her neck and held tight as Wyatt rapped his arms around her waist.

"I love you Kara," Wyatt said.

"I love you guys too," Kara said as she could no longer fight the tears. Chris finally relinquishes his hold and she put him down while wiping her face with the sleeve of her coat.

"Take care of her because if you don't I will hunt you down," Piper said to Seth as she walked over to Kara.

"Don't worry I will," Seth said.

"I love you," Piper said while hugging Kara.

"I love you too mom."

"You know I will not let you date until your 30," Leo said as he hugged her too.

"Good luck with that," Kara said as she hugged him, "I love you dad," she said.

"I love you too Mel," Leo said as he also saw her as his daughter once he found out. She smiled and began to write on her tablet and the arch rose from the ground.

"Take care cousin," Phoenix said and waved good bye as she walked through the portal. Phoebe and Paige hugged Kara along with Prue.

"You too and don't drink too much," Kara said referring to the blood.

Piper was the last to walk through with Leo and the kids as she gave one last look at Kara and felt her heart sink as the arch began to close.

"You ok?" Seth asks as the remaining mirth members began to emerge out of their arches and looked at the devastation.

"I will be but there is something I need to talk to you about later on," Kara replied.

The manner was quiet as they all sat taking in the last years events. Piper was rubbing her stomach as Chris and Wyatt fell asleep next to her. Phoenix was preparing to go back to the future and was not sure what to expect as Trinity might be gone. Paige could still feel the loss, but she was holding Trinity in her arms as Henry was holding Sophia and Henry Junior in his. Phoebe was holding Pandora and Coop was sitting next to her. Prue was also trying to get the nerve to say she needed to leave too but maybe not today as they were already overwhelmed.

"I miss her already," Leo said as a tear came down his cheek.

"Me too," Piper said.

"Mom I need to go back," Phoenix said breaking the silence.

"What you can't stay?" Phoebe asks.

"You know I can't and don't worry, I'll see you in the future," Phoenix replied and hugged Phoebe which coused her outfit to shoot out a mist of antibacterial. "Sorry," she said and Phoebe laughed through her tears.

"Its ok," Phoebe said as she went to the attic to say the spell that would send Phoenix home. The others followed and they all said good bye as Leo put the boys to bed and then said his goodbye's to Phoenix.

"Phoenix is there a way you could send a message to tell me about Trinity?" Paige asks while taking a deep breath.

"I don't know Aunt Paige," Phoenix replied somberly.

"Can't blame a girl for trying," Paige said through an awkward laugh.

Phoebe said the spell and blue and white orbs filled the room as Phoenix went back to the future.

"She turns out pretty cool," Piper said as she hugged Phoebe who was crying.

"Yeah she does," Phoebe said.

Meanwhile back at Alda Kara is sitting on some rubble as the other mirth vendors were beginning to rebuild.

"You said you wanted to talk to me?" Seth asks.

"I have a way to keep this from happening at lest me being pushed through the portal at 6," Kara replied.

"What?"

"A soul message," she replied.

"How you're not dead and it takes an Edom to do one," he replied.

"Well I think I am an Edom now and I will die eventually Seth."

"I don't understand, if you don't get pushed through then we will never meet," Seth said as his heart started to break. Kara stood up and took his hands into hers.

"Seth we are soul mates so I think we will find each other somehow," she replied.

"I still don't know how you're going to do it," he said.

"Your see," she said and kissed him.

6 1/2 years later Melinda and her brothers were playing in the park as the ball went rolling into some trees.

"I get it," the six-year-old said as she ran into the woods.

Piper started looking for her daughter and knew what was about to happen as she ran into the woods with Leo and Chris close behind.

"Mel!" Piper yelled as she saw a man in a golden cloak pushing her through the portal," No!" Piper yelled as she used her exploding power to kill the Elder that did it, even though it took three attempts he did finally die. Piper ran for the portal but Leo reluctantly grabbed her.

"Piper this has to happen or Alda will die and she never would have came back to save us from Talon," Leo said as she fought against him.

"No Leo please," She pleaded.

"I know baby I know," He said as he held her as Wyatt and Chris were stunned.

"Does this little girl belong to you?" A man asks who was in his 30s.

"Mommy," Mel said as she ran to her.

"Oh sweetie come here," Piper said and held her tight.

"Who are you?" Leo asks.

"My name is Landrick and this may sound odd but I got a soul message from a woman named Kara. She told me I would find a little girl that was pushed through a portal and to bring her back through," he replied.

"Wait from what I remember a soul message is sent from someone who is dead," Piper said.

"Yes she warned me about Tolan and the weavers working with the shadow-dells and the Avedon.

"How old was she?" Leo asks referring to the soul message.

"Quite old, apparently she found a way to send the soul message back in time. I have already taking care of Tolan and destroyed the Avedon, it looks like both our worlds are safe," he replied.

"Thank you," Piper said as she kissed Melinda repeatedly.

"I need to go, but before I do apparently we have an alliance," he said and handed her a tablet." If you need us just draw the symbol on the back and it will open an arch."

"Alliance?" Leo asks.

"Don't know but that is what she said along with quite a few other things about you and your world," he replied and walked back into the portal as it closed.

"Clever girl," Piper said and hugged her. They left the woods and a little boy was running after a ball when he bumped into Mel as Piper put her down.

"Sorry," the little boy said and smiled at her.

"That's ok," Mel said back.

"My name is Seth what is yours?" he asks as his mother walked up.

"Melinda," she replied.

"Piper how are you?" the woman asked.

"Good how are you doing?" Piper asks as she knew her from when she owned the bar.

"Good and sorry about that," she said and picked up the ball.

"No problem," Piper said.

"Do you want to play ball?" Seth asks.

"Mom can I?" Mel asks.

"Yes but stay around here," Piper said as the two children ran off to play.

"Looks like they are already friends," the woman said.

"Looks that way," Leo said and smiled at Piper as they both knew that Kara/Mel and Seth would find each other again.

Later that evening Paige came over to the house and Piper filled them in on what happened in the park.

"So that means Tolen never gets pulled through the portal, so we never fight the shadow-dells or him?" Paige asks as she felt hope rise in her.

"Yap," Piper replied.

"That means that Trinity never had to come and help us fight in Alda?" Paige asks hopefully.

"I think so," Leo replied.

"My head hurts," Phoebe said.

"Definitely," Piper said.

"So she has a new friend," Phoebe said while raising her eyebrows.

"Seth yeah I don't get it but I never do," Piper said.

"I think we should take a look," Paige suggested.

"Paige," Piper said as she did not want to test fate.

"Pleas just one peak?" Paige asks.

"Ok just one," Piper said as she too was curious about the future. They all went to the attic as Leo stayed behind to clean up the kitchen.

They went to the book of shadows and remarkably the page was already open to a page that would take them 30 years ahead.

"See apparently we are allowed too," Paige said as she read off the spell.

They appeared in the manner that for the most part looks the same. There was a flat screen TV on the wall in some other technology they did not recognize, but the wallpaper and some of the furniture has not changed. At first it was quiet until the front door opened and a little girl came running in with blue around her mouth and holding a blue popsicle half eaten.

"Prudence wait up," a woman said as she entered behind.

"Man she is hyper," a man said while holding some grocery bags.

"You gave her the sugar high Seth," Melinda said as her daughter was running around the couch.

"Mel," Piper said while putting her hand to her chest.

"Looks like you're a grandmother," Phoebe said.

Two women orbed in with a man and immediately Paige recognized them.

"Trinity," Paige said as she could not help the tears of happiness.

"Sophia and Henry Junior," Phoebe said referring to the other two.

"Ok next time I orb," Sophia said as Trinity gave her a sideways look.

"Sorry my powers are messed up right now, you now hormones," Trinity said as she started walking to the kitchen.

"I don't, I like the random stops on the way," Henry Junior said while laughing.

"Not when we end up on the Sphinx," Sophia said.

"She is pregnant," Paige said as she noticed Trinity's belly protruding.

Chris and Wyatt were the next to orb in, along with Pandora, Phoenix and Patricia. Wyatt was holding a two-year-old son and Chris was with a dark haired woman that they recognized.

"His fiancée," Phoebe said.

"Good," Piper said as tears of happiness were coming down her cheek.

"Ok – ok someone unplugged this child," Piper said as she picked up the running three-year-old.

"Hi grandma," Prudence said.

The older Paige orbed in with Phoebe and Coop as Leo came down the stairs with Henry. Everyone was coming for dinner, a family dinner and the once quiet house was now filled with laughter and conversation. The three sisters held hands as they could feel the spell wearing off.

"Thank you," Piper said while looking into the heavens.

"Your welcome," Prue said from Elder land as she was looking down at them while standing next to her mother and grandmother.

The end...
