Two chapters for this story after this one :)

Thank you to everyone who reads/ reviews, especially: Beuty6, lizardmomma, "Guest", IWantColoredRain and Mony19! Mony19, I thought it would be fun to write in Leo's lack of sense when it comes to Wyatt's protection.


"Leo, can a Dark Priestess really have this much power?" Phoebe asked, as she took a seat on the sandy floor. She scrunched her nose in disgust as she positioned herself against the wall in the underworld cave.

"No … it must be local. Even with the Source's power, they couldn't affect magic across the world".

"So what does that mean?"

"It means there may be hope for us to get out of here, but we're in a lot of trouble".

"Agreed" Paige nodded. "If our magic was affected, then that means Prue isn't protected".

"And the Source is making his move" Phoebe whispered.

Manor

The oldest Charmed one was taking a long awaited nap when a large thud shook the household.

"Mom!?" Chris was in Prue's room in less time than it took for her to blink. He let out a tight sigh, repositioning the several potions in his hand. Piper came trailing in behind with Wyatt in her arms.

"Someone's in the house" Chris whispered. "Stay here".

Prue opened her mouth to protest, but he was already gone. Piper placed Wyatt down on the bed next to Prue and made sure not to make eye contact before making her way to the doorway. She knew her sister wouldn't leave Wyatt, but that she'd also protest to being left out of the fight.

Piper winced as she heard glass shattering. She couldn't tell if it was from several potion bottles or a window. She grabbed a few potion bottles left on the dresser and turned the corner.

Chris was being held in a headlock by two demons. He dragged his feet along the floor as they pulled him towards a large cloaked demon. All of the demons had matching tattoos on their forearms. Piper strained her eyes to see, but couldn't get a good look at them.

"Hey!" She roared. "I'd let go of him if I were you".

The cloaked demon chuckled and turned to Piper.

"Piper, they're Rigor demons" Chris hissed as they pushed an athame against the stubble on his neck. Piper recognized the tattoos now. They had only encountered Rigor demons when Grams was coming for Wyatt's wiccaning. She began to back towards the bedroom. The demons had the ability to attack spirits. They had to be after Prue.

Once she reached the doorway, she threw two potions at the cloaked demon.

Nothing happened.

Chris tried to break free and was knocked unconscious by a hard hit to the back of the head. Piper's eyes widened as she watched his body fall limp to the floor. She turned and ran towards the bedroom.

The cloaked demon rushed at her and grabbed her from behind. Prue stood up and positioned herself in front of Wyatt as they made they all made their way into the room.

"Prue, stay with him" Piper pleaded.

"We're not going anywhere" Prue was adamant. "They are".

Prue looked over to see which potions had been taken. Two hadn't been used yet that would mimic an explosive power. The very pregnant witch opened the drawer to reveal even more potions. She grabbed the explosive potions and threw them at the two demons entering the room.

Both demons exploded into flame. The cloaked demon pushed Piper to the floor and began to rush towards Prue. She grabbed the stand up mirror nearby and smashed it over top of his head.

Piper rounded the other side of the bed and took Wyatt into her arms.

"Leo!" she called out. Prue used the wooden frame leftover from the mirror to push the demon backwards. Piper clutched onto her son tightly and searched for Chris. He was still passed out in the hallway. "Leo! We need you!"

Prue let out a loud gasp as a shot of pain radiated through her spine. One hand instinctively went over her stomach. The demon took advantage and used one hand to pull out a crystal.

White lights danced into the room and landed at the end of the bed to reveal Patricia Halliwell.

"Leave my daughters alone!" She bellowed, freezing the disfigured demon as he hovered the crystal above Prue's face. Her oldest daughter doubled over in pain. Patty ran to her side and helped her down to the bed.

Piper placed Wyatt on the bed and scurried over to the bedside table to grab another explosive potion. She raised her hand to throw it at him, but he unfroze. His eyes widened in shock as he flamed away against his will.

"What just happened?!" Piper huffed.

"I think the Source wants to keep him" Prue sighed, clutching her stomach. "How's Chris?"

"I'll go check on him in a second. How are you?" Piper leaned over and brushed some of Prue's dark hair out of her eyes. Tiny beads of sweat were beginning to form on her forehead.

"I'm okay". Piper could only stare at her sister. She would never admit if something was wrong.

"I've got her" Patty assured, taking a seat next to Prue. "Who's Chris?"

"You'll see soon" Prue smiled.

Piper made her way into the hallway to see Chris unconscious, but safe. She bent down to gently shake his arm to wake him. She brushed his dark locks out of his eyes as well just as they began to flutter open.

"There are those great green eyes" she smiled. Chris took in his surroundings and quickly pulled himself up off the floor.

"They're both okay" Piper whispered as she took his hand and helped pull him up off the floor. Chris flashed his trademark smile at his aunt and slowly dragged his feet towards the bedroom.

"Mom, I'm so happy to see you ... but you're not who I called" Piper began. "Where's Leo?"

"He must have been travelling to the Underworld when the spell happened" Chris explained. He gently rubbed at the back of his neck where he had been hit. Prue lifted her hand and motioned with one finger for him to take a seat next to her so she could see his wound.

She inspected the back of his head protectively before another shot of pain radiated through her abdomen. She winced in pain.

Chris turned to see what was going on.

"Is that what I think it is?"

Patty nodded.

"She pushed herself into labour by fighting off the demon" Piper shot Prue a look only an overprotective sister could give. Prue winked at her sister.

"Speaking of ... Mom, meet Chris" the telekinetic smiled. "Your soon to be born grandson from the future".

Patty blinked for a moment, but as soon as she stared at the boy's eyes she knew.

"Nice to meet you" she beamed from ear to ear.

"He came to save Wyatt and he's going home. We're really going to miss him" Piper added.

Prue let out a slight hiss as she was blindsided by another wave of pain.

"He's on his way, and fast".

Chris bit his lip. This was two days too early and he still hadn't left.

"I can't leave yet. There's too much at stake and so many questions. Gideon should have known that Leo wasn't around. He would know which Elders were in danger".

"I don't trust that man" Prue growled. "I want Andy back and away from him".

"There's no way for the Source to have that much power with his current state. It would make sense if he had help from someone on the side of good" Patty acknowledged.

"I'll stay with Wyatt and the Manor to protect the nexus. We need to get Mom to a hospital. She has a high risk pregnancy".

Patty's eyes began to fill with tears. She couldn't follow them to the hospital. She shouldn't even be at the Manor now.

"Call Victor" she insisted. She clung to Prue's hand and leaned in to kiss her forehead. "He'll make sure you're safe".

"Mom, we're dealing with the Source".

"He's your father" Patty smiled. "He can protect you best, especially with no powers".

Valhalla

Gideon orbed into the largest bamboo hut on the island. Most of the warriors stood tall while some waited impatiently. Andy made his way through the crowd to reach the Elder.

"We've been here for hours. Is everything okay out there?"

"Your family is fine. Right now, you just need to worry about saving them and the rest of good magic" Gideon lied. "I need to send you and Eric to find Leo in the Underworld. The sisters will need him here".

Andy nodded.

San Francisco Bay General

Piper rushed Prue through the hospital doors, holding onto her arm every step of the way. Victor was already there and rushed over to take the other side.

The trio didn't wait long for a room once the Nurse saw how far Prue's labour had progressed.

"I can't believe I pass for Phoebe" Prue laughed, handing Phoebe's driver's license back to Piper. Her sister could only chuckle.

"Let's work on getting future boy out safely and then you can be shocked",

"Here sweetie" Victor handed Prue a cup of ice chips as he approached the bed. "You're going to have a love/hate relationship with these".

Piper turned and grabbed one end of the privacy curtain before pulling it shut. She had to make sure no one they knew saw her dead sister giving birth in the hospital. Once the curtain was closed, Gideon orbed into the room behind it and made his way into the hallway..

He glanced around the hallway to make sure it was empty.

"Barbas" he whispered. The demon of fear shimmered next to him with his yellow teeth making the first greeting.

"Tell the Source it's almost time. Then, distract Piper" he instructed. "We need the Source to come here so she's powerless still. We need her alone".

"Understood". Barbas nodded and shimmered back down to the underworld.

Underworld

Leo's eyes widened as the ground began to shake. Rocks and pebbles tumbled from the ceiling, prompting them to duck for cover.

"Leo, what's going on?" Paige shrieked, using her hands to protect her face.

"The Source is leaving the Underworld" Phoebe answered. She had spent too much time in the Underworld. She knew exactly what that meant.
