THE NEXT DAY – KITCHEN

Piper was always the first one up, so that she could make breakfast for everybody. As the eldest sister wanted to start she heard orbs and to her surprise her youngest son sat on the counter smiling.

"Chris, what are you doing here? It's early."

The answer she was given was a giggle and with some orbs of her needed ingredients for the breakfast. With a bit shock the mother looked at her child before she remembered adult Wyatt saying Chris was/ is as good as she in cooking. The woman laughed and kissed her son on his forehead. The boy giggled again.

In the next moment another orb arrived. Before fully formed the orb was asking, "Mom, where's Chris? He just orbed away!"

"Everything OK, Wyatt," she answered. "He's here and helping me with breakfast."

The blond boy nodded and sighed relieved. His little brother was his best friend and companion in their magical lives, but already showed an independence that would cause many trouble later. Wyatt embraced Chris tightly what made Piper smile.

Five minutes later Leo walked into the kitchen. The scene that greeted him was so familiar and normal. His wife made breakfast while the boys tried to help, but his youngest seemed so natural while his eldest despaired of this task.

Father and mother gazed at each other long and lovingly. Their family was complete. Two wonderful sons and both had dedicated their lives to them. They were the future.

"Where are your sisters?" Leo asked.

"Still sleeping, I guess," Piper answered, "but not any longer. Both had to go to work."

"Yeah, we know that, mom," Phoebe yawned very sleepily. "Breakfast ready?"

"Yep, with some help of your nephew!"

"What?" Paige inquired. "Wyatt or Chris?"

"The younger one."

"Good. Can we eat now?" Phoebe requested. "I'm going to date someone."

"So do I," Paige continued.

"And your charge?" Piper wanted to know. "My sons are my life – anytime. You both know that!"

Paige nodded. "Please, just this one day. There's an interesting guy at my work."

"OK, but just this day," Piper replied. "And Phoebe, what's your excuse?"

"I want to date the man your son introduced to us. Coop, the cupido."

"Great," the eldest sister sighed, "it seems my sisters are in love." The younger sisters blushed immediately what made Leo laugh. Phoebe and Paige embarrassed even more.

"OK, you can go. I look after Billie while Leo now takes care of the boys." Her husband nodded, took Wyatt and Chris and went to Magic School.

"See you later, guys," Leo said. "Hope, we're going to get to know your boyfriends." With that he was gone.

But his youngest son yelled through the doors, "Mommy – cooking – later. Cookies!" All laughed at that and wanted to see how this will work. It could only mean chaos.


ACROSS TOWN – PHOEBE'S DATE

The middle sister sat in a restaurant waiting for Coop. She had called him with her heart and was surprised he had answered her call. Phoebe was nervous. Like she was when she had dated Cole. The last time they met both men came together summoned by Wyatt. For her it seemed Cole had given her free for a new love. That love was Coop.

"Phoebe, what's going on?" the man asked nervously. It was obvious.

"I want to get to know you. My heart cries for you," the witch said.

"Oh," the cupido replied embarrassed. The witch laughed.

"Well, sit down," Phoebe requested, "and make the best of the day."

Coop nodded. In truth he wanted to know and love her as well. Their eyes met from time to time and it was clear there was more than just friendship. A cupido had fallen in love with a witch. From his future nephew he knew Phoebe and he were going to get married at some point.

Phoebe recognized the love and his longing. For her. Her heart ached for this man. She wanted to spend her whole life with Coop and give birth to their children. The witch had seen it in her vision quest more than a year ago. She was in love.

After their date Phoebe and Coop promised to see each other regularly. They were holding each one's hand and closed the distance till their lips finally met. Love had won.

"Call me with your love and heart," Coop said kissing her forehead.

"I will," Phoebe promised looking up. "And the Elders?"

"Don't worry. They sent me and so it's allowed, I guess."

"Thank you." Phoebe kissed him again.

As they walked off each hold hands till the last moment. Both smiled and went their own way until they'll meet again.


AT THE MANOR

Piper observed the young witch with suspicious eyes. The mother trusted her son when he felt something odd. Her gut and instincts told her the same. If she would do anything to her kids the teenage witch was going to pay.

"Piper, might helping me or do you want just standing there?" Billie asked looking at her.

"I'll help you to find your sister and give as well as learn some wiccan knowledge."

"I'm grateful for that."

"It's only I don't trust you – fully. I hope you know that my family is everything for me and that includes my sisters, husband and sons. Especially my boys. Do you understand me?"

The teenage witch nodded. "I want to have this feeling again, Piper. It was missed from my family for a long time. So would you now helping me with this potion?"

The eldest sister walked over and helped Billie against this demon. Together they had come a bit closer to find Christy. Both witches had come to a temporarily understanding. However, Piper was distracted as she heard orbs and ran happily to the kitchen where she already found her baby boy sitting on the counter.

An invisible being watched the whole discussion with interest. The Charmed Ones were known for their mistrust firstly, but then ever helpful with their innocents. The sister she had to persuade to join her was under the Power of Three wings. This was going to be hard or maybe not. As she watched Piper leave the being turned to her sister.

It was going to work. Her masters, or better teachers, had taught her very well of the wiccan knowledge. They had told her to find her sister and to fight with the almighty Charmed Ones. So at first she spied on them to tell them all and to bring up a new plan – to get rid of that power as well as their offspring. She went back.


ACROSS TOWN – PAIGE'S DATE

The youngest sister had gone back to her social cores. She now worked with former criminals who wanted to find their way back to their lives. There she met an interesting guy, a mortal, Henry Mitchell. It was obvious she followed in the footsteps of her mother and grandmother.

Both greeted each other since they had met warmly. Paige thought Henry felt the same way, so they had agreed for a common dinner this day. The witch was nervous like a teenager.

"Hey," Henry greeted, "here I am. You ready?"

Paige could only nod. Her voice was gone, so the woman let her be walked in the restaurant and be guided to a table. As they ordered their food both gazes often met. The food came and they ate in silence. Half an hour later it was over.

"So what now?" Paige asked. "Do we meet again?"

"I'd love to," Henry agreed. "Don't you think there's more between us?"

Paige was embarrassed. So was Henry, asking this question.

"I think there is, but at first you should meet my family. I have two adorable nephews."

Henry nodded. The man was afraid. This woman got some secrets and he was curious now. "Till next time, Paige," he said good-bye to his love.

"Till next time, Henry," Paige greeted back, but she kissed him out of instinct. Henry was shocked but let it happen. He liked it as well as Paige. Both knew they had just found the love of their lives.

The woman and the man promised to see each other. They would naturally. Paige and Henry worked together in the same place. That could only mean their love would grow each passing day.


BACK AT THE MANOR

Piper baked some cookies with her youngest child. Of course flour, sugar, chocolate chips were thrown around the floor. She herself and Chris were covered in that mess. Her son grinned at her with his toothless smile.

The first wave of cookies was ready as her eldest son returned from Magic School and his younger brother greeted him with a handful throw of flour at him.

Wyatt was surprised and returned the gesture, but his little brother orbed out of the way so that their mother was the target. The mother laughed and soon the kitchen was in an utterly chaos.

As Leo came back home he heard laughter from the kitchen. Not sooner the father had entered he was met with a lot of flour being thrown towards him. The answer he gave was to join his family in their enthusiastic way of happiness.

Phoebe and Paige returned home. The younger sisters heard laughter from the kitchen and guessed it was Piper, Leo and their kids. Both watched with love at their sister who so desperate wanted a normal life.

Billie was still in the attic as Phoebe and Paige walked in. The young witch was looking for another demon and a way to find her sister. The younger Charmed Ones helped without any questions what made her smile a bit. Her plan was going to work – finally.


A DARK AREA – SOMEWHERE

The young witch went back to her masters. The Triad. They had taught her all she knew. All said she had to find her sister to create the ultimate force. She had already felt that when she was at the Manor.

"So what did you find out, Christy?" one man asked.

"Piper is very suspicious of my sister what was caused by her youngest child."

"Interesting," another man continued, "and the other two Charmed Ones?"

"They're trusting her. After all Billie is Paige's charge. The youngest sister is now a whitelighter."

"Well," the third man said, "the offspring doesn't trust her you mentioned?" Christy nodded. "So that will be our weak point to attack the Charmed Ones!"

"You want to attack the children?" the young witch asked incredulously.

The leading Triad looked at her. "Piper's children are the future of magic. Both are experienced in time-travel. You should know the boys are twice-blessed. Both."

"I see," Christy agreed. "So when do you want to attack?"

"Give them time, but try to contact your sister from time to time and convince her to join us."

The witch and the Triad agreed at that point. The attack would be painful for their enemy – the almighty Charmed Ones. The Triad's revenge will finally be successful.
