Chapter 11
November (Billie's demon problem)
It was P.J.'s Fourth birthday and since Phoebe's birthday was only four days after, the party was for them both. P.J. was all dressed up in her favourite party dress. Phoebe and Coop had allowed P.J. to invite her guests, and P.J. only chose two girls from her class, Alyssa and Allie. This didn't surprise ay one because P.J. is a shy girl. Phoebe had invited the usual guests: Victor, Billie, Elise, Darryl and Sheila, she also decided to summon grams and Patty.
"Well I was starting to wonder if you'd ever summon us again" Grams said.
"Sorry I know it's been to long" Phoebe apologised.
"Well no matter, it is so good to see you" Patty said and hugged her daughter.
Phoebe, Grams and Patty joined the others in the living room. None of the guests were coming until supper time, because the party was a supper taking place at Piper's restaurant. Phebe had summon Patty and Grams early since the dead can't eat.
"So the plan is a movie, and then P.J. wants to go to the aquarium, then if we still have time we go shopping" Coop explained to everyone.
"That sound like fun" Parry remarked.
"That what are we all sitting around here for, let's get going" Grams stated.
"No need to rush, the movie only start in half an hour" Paige said.
Prue took: Andy, Payton, Grams and Patty in her car. Piper took: Leo, Wyatt, Chris and Melinda in her car. Phoebe took: Coop and their girls in her car, and Paige took: Henry, the twins and little Henry. The all met up in-front of the mall.
"Ok we still have twenty five minutes before the movie starts, P.J. what would you like to do before then" Phoebe asked.
"Can we go to pet store and see the puppies and kitten" P.J. asked.
"Of course birthday girl" Prue agreed.
The family entered the mall and found their way to the small pet store. Inside there were a few cages that contained puppies and kittens. P.J. absolutely fell in love with a little English springer spaniel puppy. The puppy had a white snout, brown head with brown floppy ears, white neck and stomach, and a brown back. Its legs were white with little brown spots, same with its tail.
The pet shop owner allowed the kids to take the puppy out of the cage and play with it in a little fenced in area. Phoebe looked at the card on the cage with the puppy's information. Gender: female, age: one month, life expectancy 12-14 years. The puppy was also still in need of a home and only cost 50. The adults whispered to each other and went to the owner.
"The price of the puppy that my daughter is playing with, seems a little too good to be true" Coop stated.
"You haven't heard? The store is moving and we can't take the animals with us, so we lowered the prices a lot" The owner explained.
"You see it's her birthday today and she really seems to love that that puppy more than the others, if we were to but her, how long would it be before we could take her home" Piper asked.
"Well she needs her shots, and a check up and be groomed, so about a week" the owner replied.
"Excuse me for a moment" Phoebe said and walked over to P.J.
"P.J. how would you like to keep this puppy" Phoebe asked her daughter.
"Really do you mean it, we can have her" P.J. asked with excitement in her eyes.
"Yep, she will be your birthday present" Phoebe said.
"I love you I love you I love you" P.J. squealed and hugged her mother tightly.
"Ok, we can take her home next week ok" Phoebe said.
"Yes that is a million times ok."
"Alright you better think of a name for her" Phoebe said and walked back to the store owner.
"We'll take her" Phoebe said as she took her wallet out of her purse.
"Thanks Piper, for letting her have the pup" Phoebe thanked her sister as she paid.
"I did it for P.J., but I'm warning you that dog better not destroy my house" Piper stated.
"Don't worry that type of dog is easy to train" the store owner ensured.
The family then made it to the movie on time. Afterwards they made their way to the aquarium. While they were here, P.J. came up with at least 2000 different names for the puppy. She came up with more on the way home, and more on her way to the restaurant after Grams and Patty went back to the spirit realm.
At the restaurant the met up the guests and pushed some tables together so they could all sit together. While they ate P.J. drove everyone to insanity with her non-stop talking about the puppy. She was still talking when Phoebe tucked her into bed.
"Would you shut up already" Parker snapped with her hands on her ears.
Five days later Billie came to the manor in a panic. She was being chased by a demon of some sort. Piper blew up the demon and brought Billie into the living room. Prue, Andy, Coop, Phoebe and Payton were there, but the children were at school and the other adults were at work.
"That was the 25th demon to come after me this week" Billie stated trying to catch her breath.
"Any idea why you've become a demon magnet" Prue asked.
"No clue, I don't even know what kind of demons they are" Billie stated.
"Ok, Andy get the book of Shadows, let's see if we can identify any of these demons" Piper instructed.
Andy orbed up the attic and orbed back down the book. Billie went through it and picked out several of the demons.
"I don't get it, none of these demons have anything in common, and some of them don't even go after witches" Andy stated.
"Maybe they still think you're on their side, which is red… Billie are feeling ok" Piper asked because Billie looked like she was going to be sick.
"I'll be right back" Billie said and darted up the stairs.
When she came back, Prue had a different idea.
"Billie, could it be possible there after something inside you, maybe a someone" Prue asked.
"What… you think I could be pregnant" Billie asked.
"Well yes unless you're sick, ate something bad or are just plain disgusted with these demons" Prue stated.
"I um… I guess it could be possible, there was that time last month by boyfriend was in town visiting" Billie realized.
"Even if she is pregnant why would the entire demon universe want her child" Andy asked.
"Well Billie and her sister were destined to be the charmed ones destroyers, maybe they think her child will have that jean" Coop suggested.
"It's possible, but I won't let it happen" Billie said.
"I know, but the question is how do we fix this, we can't have Billie and her child in hiding all the time" Piper pointed out.
"Before we go assuming I'm pregnant, shouldn't I take a test" Billie stated.
"Good point, I have one you could use, I bought it two weeks ago but before I used it my doctor called and said all the symptoms were caused by stress" Prue offered.
Billie agreed and followed Prue up to her room to get the test. Prue came back and waited with the others. Not long after Billie came back down and nodded to tell them it was positive.
"Alright so now how do get these demons to back off" Piper asked.
"Maybe we could summon an angel of Destiny, have them change the baby's destiny" Coop suggested.
"Power of Three, We summon thee, and call to us, The Angel of Destiny" Prue, Piper and Phoebe summoned.
The angel of destiny came and the adults explained the situation.
"That is the child's destiny indeed, a tragic one. Although I would normally not change ones destiny… I'll make an acceptation since this child's destiny will ruin the most powerful of good" The angel of destiny agreed.
The angel of destiny placed her hands on Billie's stomach and did her magic. She then explained the child will still receive her powers, and that the child will no longer be wanted by the demons. Billie thanked the angel of destiny and watched her leave.
The next day they got a call from Billie.
"Just thought I'd let you know, no demons today" Billie informed.
"that's great news, hold on I have another call" Phoebe said.
The other call was the pet store saying they could pick up the puppy. Coop and Phoebe took P.J. to pick up the puppy. At the pet store, Phoebe bought everything the puppy would need. P.J. got to choose the toys, collar and leash.
"What are you going to name her" the store owner asked P.J.
"Her name is Belle" P.J. revealed.
"Her favourite move is beauty and the beast" Phoebe explained.
"Cute, would you like me to put her name on her tags" the store owner asked.
P.J. nodded so the store owner did just that. Afterwards P.J. put the pink collar on Belle and tied it to the pink leash. Phoebe carried the puppy to the car and put her in the back seat while Coop tied P.J. in her car seat. On the way home Belle jumped up onto the seat and laid down on P.J.'s lap. P.J. giggled and pet her new best friend.
