Author's Notes: Hello! Sorry I couldn't get this up any earlier but I am having trouble trying to get this story back together after not working on it for so long. I started this story 2 years ago and I realize it has been a really long time but I got really busy the last school year with living in the US and all.
So I apologize but I assure you that I have every intent on finishing this story, I just don't want to rush it because if I did it would end up as good as I want.
So I would like to thank all of you who are still reading this story; special thanks to all of those who reviewed and told me their opinions on the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed or any of its original Characters; however, I do own any new Characters, powers and this story line.

P.S. Words in italics aren't actually being said out loud: thoughts, dreams, premonitions.

Previously:

F. Paige: That's why he "Wyatt" let me go... He wants me to save him but he knows I was probably looking in the wrong direction, just like Chris did.

Phoebe (rolling her eyes): Yeah but we got that she was family and yet we treated her badly.

Jo: I wish it was as easy as getting rid of Wyatt but it isn't. I want her back too, you know!
Jericho: I know Aunt Paige.

Jo: I need you to spy on Mass, find out what his moves are because I can't do that without being undetected and I need to go vanquish some demons.

Barbas: A new plan... One that won't involve attacking the Charmed ones as witches, but as Humans!

Barbas: I have been fighting the Charmed ones for a really long time. They know my tricks, they won't fall for them, they became immune to my tricks or so to speak.

Barbas realized Mass didn't know who Jo really was and he decided to withhold this information.

Barbas: Patience my dear, demons are not known for their Patience but with Patience we shall win.

Jo was in an underground cave being followed by the Charmed ones.

Paige (whining): I hate the underworld, why do we have to be here again?

Jo (snapping): Because the demons I am after require the power of three, you do the math.

Phoebe: Are you sure all we have to do is read the spell?

Jo: Yes!! Now keep quiet! (she stopped at the front of the cage) I will distract them until you read the spell, Ready?

Piper: Yes.

Jo/Paige: Here goes Nothing!

Phoebe had to grab her nose in order to not laugh out loud. Jo ignored Phoebe and ran in the cave.

The demons looked surprised and started attacking but Jo was fast, she threw demons around using telekineses, she injured some by the bolts of orbs she has.

Jo (yelling): NOW!!

The Charmed Ones (chanting):

Demons who gain,

from other people's pain,

burn now, in eternal flames.

Not a lot of demons managed to shimmer out before the chanting started, the rest all burned in flames and got vanquished. Jo was on her knees breathing heavily, sometime during the fight she managed to get hit with a fireball, there was a wound on her shoulder.

Piper (not noticing Jo's injury): That was fun, can we now get out of here?

Jo (gritting through her teeth): Sure, go ahead. Thanks! (Jericho came running towards Jo)

Jericho: Aunt Paige are you alright?

Phoebe (surprised): Aunt Paige?? (Jo rolled her eyes)

Piper: The demon is related to you? To us?

Jo: hmmm... yeah, kinda.

Jericho: I am sorry, I didn't know they were here.

Jo: It's okay.

Phoebe: Can you at least let Paige heal your wound? (Jo nodded, Paige spread her hands on the wound and it immediately healed)

Jo: Thanks... Jericho what are you doing here?

Jericho: I was in the main caves when a messenger came to inform the demons of the attack, I vanquished him before he managed to tell the rest of the demons and then I came to see if you needed help.

Jo: No I don't. I am going to track down the demons that escaped and vanquish them.

Jericho: Be careful, Mass has been very quiet lately and it probably mean he has a plan.

Jo: Didn't you like study his plans or something?

Jericho: The ones that worked, and if I recall correctly you know it pretty well.

Jo (sadly): Yeah.

Jericho: I am thinking that you being here will change a lot of things, plans that didn't work will work, plans that worked won't work. So our knowledge of whatever plans won't help us now.

Jo: Do you know what he's up to?

Jericho: No, he put up charms on his cave. I can't go in undetected. All I know that he's teaming up with a very powerful demon and they are recruiting upper leveled demons.

Jo: Upper leveled demons? That's a change of plans.

Jericho: I know, he's probably doing that because of your presence.

Jo: That's just great. Jericho go to the future and find out if he manages to kill you know who.

Jericho: Okay. (After one second he talks again) Yeah he still does.

Phoebe: You didn't even leave.

Jericho: No I left and came back but you wouldn't even feel the difference. Perks of being a Pacer. (Everyone but Jo looked confused) I left and came back to the same second I left!

Phoebe: Oh that reminds me... You are the Pacer.

Jericho: Yes.

Phoebe: And for some reason you're helping us.

Jericho: Yeah?

Phoebe: And you called Paige 'Aunt Paige'.

Jericho: And?

Piper: It doesn't make any sense.

Jericho: Why?

Piper: Because that would make you family but you're evil so you can't be family.

Jericho: First of all, let me remind you that your own son is The Future Source of all Evil.

Piper: True but...

Jericho: Secondly, Wyatt calls Billie 'Aunt Billie', is she really his Aunt?

Phoebe: So Paige is not really your aunt?

Jericho: You should go blond, it suits you more. (Phoebe glares at him and Jo stifles a laugh)

Piper: But you have to be close, right?

Jericho: Yeah... kinda...

Jo (seeing no harm in revealing the information because they might trust him now): He's my son-in-law... or he was going to be my son-in-law.

Paige: Oh!

Jericho: Yeah it's easier calling her Aunt Paige than Mrs. Matthews-Mitchell-Halliwell.

(Piper and Phoebe laugh.)

Piper: That's an interesting name.

Jo: Some people don't know who I am by stating only one of them. The magical people don't recognize Matthews or Mitchell but would recognize Halliwell and so forth.

Phoebe: Maybe if you took our name since the beginning it wouldn't have been so confusing!

Jo (shrugging): Like you said, it's your name...

Piper: So your son-in-law, huh?

Jericho (correcting): Was going to be!

Piper (directing the question at Jo): So you have a daughter?

Jo: Yes?

Piper: I am going to be an aunt!!

Paige/Phoebe: Hey!

Paige: Hello I am pregnant!

Phoebe: And it's not like I am going to stay without kids forever. I for a fact know that I am going to have at least one girl.

Jo (interested in how Phoebe found out): How do you know that?

Phoebe: Same way I know you will have twin girls! (Jo was agape while Paige was shocked)

Jo: Does the term future Consequences mean anything to you? How the hell do you know that?

Phoebe: The premonition I got when I was in the future.

Before Jo could talk Jericho interrupted.

Jericho: Yeah sorry to interrupt this 'conversation' but we need to get out of the underworld, if you get my drift.

Mass: Barbas, demons aren't known for their patience. Another clan was wiped out today, those who are left want revenge on the witches... I can barely keep them under control.

Barbas: Ah those demons would be perfect for our plan...

Mass: How so?

Barbas: They want revenge and they would do anything to get it but they know they can't take out the witches, that's why they haven't gone after her. When they know you can guarantee them the end of the Charmed Ones and their future alley, they will abide by the plan.

Mass: But when can we start working on it?

Barbas: We already are, by recruiting angry demons that are out for revenge. Just remind them that Revenge is a dish better served cold.

Mass laughed evilly and Barbas smirked.

(Manor, Piper is making lunch while the others are standing around talking, well all except Jo who seemed to be in deep thought about something. Jericho has stayed in the underworld)

Billie: Penny for your thoughts?

Jo (joking): I don't think a penny would be enough considering I am saving the world from inevitable doom.

Billie: True... So what are you thinking about?

Jo: Ah just about everything, the future, the present, the past and how the hell am I supposed to keep any secrets from people who can read my thoughts, know how I feel and see things I don't want them to see. (Jo raised her voice at the last part to hint to Phoebe and Paige)

Phoebe: Hey you know my powers work on their own, I don't control them.

Paige: And I can't control the telepathy thing, I blame the baby.

Jo: The baby is a couple of inches long, I blame the mommy!

Billie: So basically you're blaming yourself? (Jo cringed at the logic of that)

Jo (joking) : Dang it! I though Blonds weren't supposed to be smart.

Billie: Haha, very funny!

Phoebe: So far you managed to avoid talking about my premonition but I want to talk about it.

Jo: Well I don't. You saw somethings you weren't supposed to see, and now you know the extent of how sucky my world is, if you didn't know already. I bet you don't even quiet remember what you saw!

Phoebe: I actually don't, I remember feelings and somethings like the whole you having twins thing and me having a daughter was deduced from the feelings, but other than that I don't remember. Why?

Jo: Because you were in the future when you had it and you only got the premonition to resolve the 'conflict' that was going on. You already know to much about the future.

Billie (trying to change the subject): Hey Piper where are the boys?

Piper: Magic School with Leo. I sent them there because we had to go demon hunting and Paige... Jo... said that some demons might come after us.

Paige: I don't see any.

Jo: It is weird, I was almost to sure that the remaining demons would gang up and try to kill us but they didn't.

Phoebe: Maybe they're scared.

Jo: You should know that demons are never scared, especially ones as powerful as those we attacked today. Weren't you the queen of the Underworld at some point? You should know these things.

Phoebe: Don't remind me! Not some of my good days. (Jo smiled in understanding)

Piper: What if the demons are making a plan? Not attacking means they are plotting and that's never good.

Jo: I was actually thinking of something along that line. Well Jericho is down there and will notify us of anything new coming up, I'll go make some potions and hunt down the remaining demons because demons out for revenge are pretty dangerous.

Billie: Do you need any help?

Jo: Sure! (Billie and Jo left to the attic)

Paige: How come we aren't helping?

Piper: You're pregnant, you wouldn't be helping even if we were. (Paige rolled her eyes) Besides you should be thankful that your future self isn't as neurotic as my future son was.

Phoebe: Now that I think about it, Chris was paranoid! I mean the amount of demon hunting he got us doing? No wonder demons hate us too much.

Piper: Honey they hate us before Chris even sent us demon hunting. Do I need to remind you of Jeremy?

Paige: Who's that?

Phoebe (smiling at the memory): Piper's boyfriend.

Piper: Who turned out to be a warlock!

Paige: Ouch...

Piper: Yeah, he was THE first vanquish.

Paige (interested to know): So what happened?

Piper: Let's see, it was Phoebe's first night back from New York when all those weird things started to happen. There was …

(Upstairs in the Attic Jo was making a potion while Billie was reading from the Book of Shadows)

Billie (Looking up from the book): So you really think the Demons are going to come?

Jo: I am most certain they would, and I don't want to be taking any chances by assuming anything. That's why I am making this potion and going after the remaining demons.

Billie: What do you mean by 'I'? I am coming with you!

Jo: No, it's too risky.

Billie: That is why I am coming with you. You're not invincible, you know!

Jo: I know that but I can't risk anything happening to you.

Billie: I am not a kid! Nothing is going to happen!

Jo (raising her voice): Your life is far more important than to be lost at a stupid demonic hunt.

Billie (arguing): You said it yourself! It's a stupid demonic hunt, I used to go on more dangerous ones all the time. Even when you were here. Why the sudden change? Why are you suddenly acting like I am so weak? What are you afraid of?

Jo (crying): YOU DIED IN MY ARMS!! You freakin died in my arms and I couldn't do anything to save you... You wanna know what I am scared of? I am scared of everything; I am scared to move, I am scared to breath because with every movement and every breath I take I risk something, I might change the future somehow or I might not change anything at all. I can't lose you, any of you, I won't survive...

Billie was shocked.

Billie: I... I...

Jo: You died in my arms, it was just too soon. Just give me time. Just make me feel like I am actually protecting you and not risking your life. I watched my sisters die and I leave them to help in vanquishes because I got over it. Your death was too recent....
I feel guilty because I watched him kill you and I couldn't do anything but I feel better when I see that you're still alive and that I can still save you, that I can still save all of you. Just... give me time!

Billie absent-mindly nodded knowing it was what the other woman needed. Jo grabbed a couple of potions.

Jo: Thanks... (Jo wiped her tears away) Here goes nothing!

(She orbs out leaving a still shocked Billie behind)

'No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.' --C.S. Lewis.

Author's Notes: I know the part of 'You died in my arms' and 'I am scared of everything' is taken from Grey's Anatomy but it just seemed to fit in just the way I want it.

Oh by the way I put up a Charmed One-Shot, it's called 'Breathe Me'. It's the first time I write something like it so please check it out and tell me what you think!

Well thank you for reading, hope you liked it! I will try putting up the next chapter faster this time. Please review and tell me what you think or if there's anything you'd like to see happen.
