Author's notes: Hi everyone, sorry for the delay but I seem to have misplaced my muse. I couldn't come up with anything for this story or any other one. So here's a short chapter till the big things come.

Disclaimer: I don't own Charmed or any of its original characters.

P.S. Words in italics are either thought, dreams, telepathy or premonition.

Previously:

Jo: Yeah, any one who knows who I am will be able to see the real me instead of the glamour.

Prue: My time on earth ended about 6 years ago. My place is up there.
Jo (thinking): Don't be so sure about that!

Paige (talking about Phoebe): She's actually trying ... ratiocinate our ill-treatment to Jo, who turned out to be future me!

Jo (to Jericho): I need you to spy on Mass.

Barbas's Voice: A new plan... One that won't involve attacking the Charmed ones as witches, but as Humans!... All their fears are family-based, I think it will be easy to break them with the right plan and the right timing.

Jo (talking about Jericho): He's my son-in-law... or he was going to be my son-in-law.

Barbas: We already are (executing the plan), by recruiting angry demons that are out for revenge.

Jo: You should know that demons are never scared, especially ones as powerful as those we attacked today.

Jo (to Billie): You died in my arms... It was just too soon.... Just give me time...

Jo was fighting with demons, she threw potions at some and hit some with orb bolts; however, it seems that the number of demons just keep increasing. She's surrounded by demons from everywhere and was out of potions, she was also exhausted so her orb bolts didn't vanquish the demons but only injured them.

She was cornered when she can no longer vanquish the demons, she tried orbing out but her attempts were stopped by the angry mass of demons who really wanted to kill her. Jo got hit by a fireball to her shoulder, the rest of the demons conjured their own fireballs and energy balls.

Paige wake up with a gasp at the sound of an alarm, she had a burn mark on her shoulder.

Paige (in pain): Owww. (She noticed her husband wasn't sleeping next to her. The alarm clock was still going off and it was making her in more pain.) HENRY!!

Henry's voice: Yeah?

Paige: Will you turn this freakin alarm clock off? (Henry came in with a tooth brush in his mouth)

Henry: Sorry, I must have not turned it off properly. (He pushes a switch on the alarm clock) Sorry... (He then notices her injured shoulder and sighs.) Another 'dream'?

Paige: Yeah. I sure hope when our son is born he will have more control over this power because otherwise he'll need his own personal whitelighter.

Henry (panicking): You think our son will be injured all the time because he'll have this thing. So not only is he going to be a freak but also will look like he's being abused all the time?

Paige's face dropped, not because of the thought of her son being injured but the way Henry just talked about magic and their future son being a witch and a whitelighter.

Paige (trying to remain calm): What do you mean freak?

Henry: You know what I mean! This whole magic mumbo jumbo thing! And this is so like you, you left the part about our son being hurt and focused on the words I used.

Paige: Because the way you said it, it sounded that you didn't like magic.

Henry: Of Course I don't! All it does is getting you hurt all the time. But I was okay with it because it's 'who you are' and it's 'what you're destined to do' and all that crap but you're dragging our baby into this.

Paige was shocked, Henry has never talked to her this way before and he certainly never showed that he hated magic.

Paige: You knew what you were getting into when you married me!

Henry: But I didn't think I will be dragging our baby into this. He's just a baby Paige, Do you want him to get hurt? Do you really believe so much in all that magic crap that you'd want a kid... our kid to be like you and your sisters? Because if you do, you're not the person I loved and married.

Hurt splashed all over Paige's face, she couldn't believe the accusations her husband was making and how he was questioning their entire relationship... their marriage.

Paige (trying not to cry): I don't understand. You knew all that since the beginning, what changed?

Henry: What changed is I am getting sick of this? I accepted you as who you are because I loved you, I thought that because we loved each other nothing else mattered... I thought the whole magic thing won't affect me... affect us. But it is, sometimes love isn't enough and I am wondering if I made the right decision after all; if I made the right decision choosing to accept you as a witch, if I made the right decision marrying you, and above all if I made the right decision having a baby with you. This how I feel, I am sorry!

Paige (crying): So am I. (She orbed out. As soon as she did Henry sighed and went back to his abandoned task of brushing his teeth).

(Manor, kitchen. Piper was feeding the boys and Leo was drinking his coffee while reading the paper)

Wyatt: Me don't want to eat...

Piper: Wyatt if you don't eat you're not going to grow up and be as 'big' as daddy.

(Wyatt pouted but continued to eat anyway. Chris, seeing that his brother wasn't happy, orbed out the food.)

Piper (frustrated): Chris!! Orb your brother's food back.

(Chris stubbornly pursed his lips and shook his head firmly)

Piper: Chris, we don't have time you're going to be late for school!! (But Chris wouldn't budge) Leo, a little help here.

(Leo rolls his eyes and puts the paper down.)

Leo: Chris listen to your mother and give your brother back his food. (Wyatt's plate appears in front of him in orbs)

Piper: Oh now he listens!

Leo: Good boy! (Leo continues to read the paper.)

Piper: Why would he not listen to me but what listen to you?

Leo (joking): I dunno, maybe you're losing your touch.

Piper: Ha, don't push it mister! (Leo laughs and folds the paper. He kisses Piper on the cheek and gets up)

Leo: I should get going... Don't want be late for Magic Scho--

(He was interrupted by two sets of orbs appeared and materialized into Jo and Paige. What was weird was that they had an identical wound on the right shoulder. Paige's appearance was different from Jo though, while Jo had dust on her cloths and looked tired, Paige was still in her PJ bottoms and a tank top revealing her growing stomach, also Paige was crying)

Piper: Paige what's wrong? What happened?

(Jo was about to answer but realized Piper was talking to her past version not her)

Paige (trying to stop crying): Can someone just heal me?

(Piper helped Paige sit down and was looking expectantly at Jo to come heal her)

Jo: What?

Piper: What do you mean what? Heal her!

Jo: I can't heal myself!

Piper: She's your past self.

Jo: Same difference.

Piper: But how come she can heal you?

Jo: Because she's not me yet, but I am her already... if that made any sense!

Piper: In a weird kind of way it does.

Jo: Good, now get your son to heal her or get Phoebe to. (Jo left the room to the attic)

Leo: Someone woke on the wrong side of the bed today.

Paige: She's not the only one! Now can you get Wyatt to heal me or should we call Phoebe?

Leo: Wyatt baby, can you heal your aunty Paige? (Wyatt was standing quietly in the background, he nodded and spread his hand over his aunt Paige's wound and healed her. He then stood next to his brother) Good boy Wy.

Paige: Thank you Wyatt. (By now she managed to stop crying but still looked like something was bothering her)

Piper: I am guessing you weren't upset because of the injury, so what happened? Spill.

(Piper and Leo noticed that Paige had a far off look on her face. Piper's face softened.)

Piper: Leo why don't you and the boys get going? (Leo got the hint and picked up Chris)

Leo: Hey Wy, how about we get going to magic School? (Piper kissed the boys and Leo and they orbed out. She and Paige heard the front door shut)

Phoebe's voice: Hello? Anyone here?

Piper (yelling): In the kitchen!! (Phoebe came in smiling)

Phoebe: Morning, oh Paige you're here too! (Then her smile dropped) What's the matter?

Piper: Paige was just about to tell me. (Piper's voice hinted that Paige had no other choice)

(Paige sighs and tells them what happened)

Piper: He said what? (Piper waited till Paige was done to comment) He's possessed!

Paige: What? No!

Phoebe: Why would he say something like that then?

Paige: I dunno but he's definitely not possessed because one second he was apologizing for not turning off the alarm properly and the next he was questioning our marriage.

Phoebe: I say we ask Jo!

Piper: I second that!

Jo was making potions and reading something in the book when the sisters came in and informed her of what happened.

Jo: What?

Piper: So you are as shocked as us! Huh, guess that never happened to you.

Jo: No, I mean we had arguments about magic but I never heard him say that before. (She dropped an ingredient in the pot and the potion exploded)

Paige: Did you have arguments about the baby's powers?

Jo: Not really; I mean he was concerned about the whole getting injured thing but it... future consequences! (She cut herself off) But magic has always been my department and Henry never interfered with it while the kids were growing up.

Piper: So you're saying that the time lines are changing?

Jo: Well they're bound to change with my presence here and all, and it's not always to the best; that's why I am stressing on the whole future consequences thing because there are some stuff I want to keep the same.

Phoebe: Like your marriage?

Jo (not getting why Phoebe would ask a stupid question like that): Yes...

Paige: So what do you suggest I should do?

Jo: Pretend I am not here. (Paige was confused) Meaning deal with it like you normally would because I am not going to be helping out with non-demonic situations! But I would like to be informed of such situations so I would know when the time line is changing too much.

Phoebe: So you want to be told about things but you won't actually help?

Jo: Not unless it's demonic.

Phoebe (sarcastically): Great!

Jo: I am not here to make your lives easier Phoebe, I am here to make the future better.

Mass: So your plan is to break their bond as a family? That would never work.

Barbas: Just for the sake of my amusement, why wouldn't that work?

Mass: Because they're too close, they know that what ever happens it's a demonic trick so they don't care for it. They might get upset, might even fight but their bond will never break.

Barbas: Oh it will, just in due time. Besides, I didn't say I was trying to break the sister's bond; I am breaking the bond which they have with the people in their lives. You see, humans are very predictable, you mess with the relationships they have and they break.

Mass: Your plan is impossible.

Barbas: Nothing is impossible.

Mass: I don't like it, it's too risky.

Barbas: What have you got to lose? A little time?

Mass: A lot of time but I will continue with the plan as long as it seems like it's working.

Barbas: You just worry about the demonic army of yours and let me worry about the rest.

Jo was following Henry since she talked to the sisters, she knew Henry wouldn't say something like that for no reason so she followed him to know what is wrong. So far Henry has been doing all sort of random things; he rented a motor bike, he was wearing a leather jacket, he was drinking in the middle of the day, he had a new hair style, he was flirting with a waitress at the coffee place.

Jo: These things aren't random, these are things Henry would never do...

Henry: Paige! (Henry came up to Jo)

Jo (reminding): Jo!

Henry: Sorry you look the same. You want a drink?

Jo: I don't drink.

Henry (remembering): Right! I knew that...

Jo: You having memory problems?

Henry: I don't know if you could call it that, it just seems that the things I remember are in different order, as if my priorities changed. Today I have been doing things that I have always wanted to do but never dared to.

Jo: Did you wake up feeling different?

Henry: I think it was after I woke up, because I was getting ready for work like always then it started with me voicing my concerns to Paige... not you, my Paige...

Jo: You ended up saying pretty harsh things though.

Henry (admitting): I know and I feel bad but whenever I set my mind to call her and apologize something distracts me. I don't even know why I said what I did, I don't feel like that; these were concerns that I had but very small ones.

Jo: So you felt almost forced to say what you said?

Henry: Not forced but I felt like I really had to say them even though I knew it would hurt Paige. It was just like ...hmmm...

Jo (offering): Magic?!

Henry: Exactly.

Jo nodded in acknowledgment, it had to be magical and specifically demonic.

Jo: Nice talking to you Henry. (Jo prepared to leave)

Henry: Wait, should I go apologize to Paige?

Jo: Not yet, I have to reverse whatever spell or potion that caused the problem to begin with. But you should think of a nice way to make it up to her.

Barbas (angrily): The damn witch figured it is magical!

Mass: But her sisters didn't.

Barbas: Meaning?

Mass: We stop her. I guess it's my turn to contribute to the plan.

Barbas (smiling): I guess it is.

Author's notes: Yeah I know it's short and seems kinda useless but this is just temporary till I get my inspiration back.
