OH Dear!!!

[Wiccan Witch]

Victor looked at his daughters as they stood waiting for Paige, they had got Paige ready in record time, being demon free was an added bonus. All was ready for Paige and Pauls wedding, 'Here we go then.' Paige smiled at her reflection.

Phoebe smiled wistfully, Mark was waiting at the church with Leo and Paul, they had promised not to have the stag night the night before.

Standing at the top of the stairs Paige looked down at her father, as that is how she came to look on him. Piper and Phoebe were standing next too him smiling up at her, 'You look breathtaking.'

Victor offered her his arm, and escorted her out the door to the waiting open carriage, Piper and Phoebe got into the carriage behind.

'This is better than our weddings.' Phoebe smiled at Piper as she spoke, 'Remember mine and Cole's that was hell in itself.' laughing out loud at their memories.

'What about mine, that was a dodgy engagement, dodgy elopment that didnt work, not forgetting....'

'PRUE!!!' they chorused together as they remembered Prue trashing the wedding, Piper had forgiven Prue and it had turned into a romantic night.

'You know we've been you know what, for so long I almost miss it.' Piper grinned, she was enjoying her time being 'normal' whatever that was she thought to herself.

'I know its weird, I have to pinch myself every few hours to make sure I'm not dreaming. I'm so glad Paige can get married and not worry about it though.' Phoebe squeezed Pipers hand, as the motion was given back.

Up front Victor and Paige were beaming from ear to ear, 'You know Paige, you are very lucky Piper and Phoebe never got this, and I wish I could turn back time and give it to them.'

'I know you do, but they both had good weddings. Marks a good choice for Phoebe she deserves his love, he accepts what we were and came through the fight with us.' Paige looked lovingly at Victor, 'you know dad,' she loved saying that.

'We never did talk about you calling me that you know.' Victor teased her, he was nervous about giving his last daughter away. Patty would be there, as would Grams and Sam her real father, but Sam had agreed that Victor would give her away.

'It's ok, Sam knows that you have been more of a father to me than he was ever allowed to be. You know you two arent that much different if you think about it, oh apart from that.' they laughed at the last part, this was breaking their nervousness.

As they drew upto the church, Leo met them at the entrance and helped Piper and Phoebe down, then waited for Paige and Victor to draw up.

'Ready then?' Leo smiled at Paige as she stood next to Victor, 'Yeah, lets get things going.'
Walking into the church their favourite song started playing, Victor took her arm and started slowly up the aisle.

At the front Paul looked back and his heart beat faster, he couldnt believe he had met Paige two years ago and now they were getting married.
Mark smiled at Phoebe as Leo smiled at Piper, all of them thinking of their own weddings. As Paige and Victor looked around, they spotted a stranger standing next to Patty and Sam, Grams was doing a reading and had stood at the front.

Handing Paige over to Paul, Victor and Sam's hearts burst with happiness. Sam smiled at Victor, they had made their peace during the battle after Zankou.

As Grams began to read, Paige started to well up she never thought she'd make it this far with Paul the past two years had been full of ups and downs, and alot of worrying on both sides.

Piper mouthed to Leo asking who the person next to Patty was, when he shrugged she saw Mark shrug and she took a quick look at Phoebe who had had the same idea.

They would ask at the reception, for now they enjoyed the wedding, when the service was over Paige and Paul walked back down the aisle. Grinning from ear to ear, Piper and Leo followed by Phoebe and Mark, with Grams, the boys and the twins with Patty.

Standing for the photos they noticed the strangers holding the twins and they fell silent from their wailing, Piper took that time to go over and talk to her.

'Wow your good.' smiling the woman looked at Piper, 'Where did you pick up those skills?'
'I'm a Nanny, and have had about 5yrs experience on and off.' handing a twin over too Phoebe as she came to see her children.

'Wow you got them to sleep, thanks, I'm Phoebe, this is Piper and the bride is our sister Paige.'

'I know, I'm' thinking quickly as not to give herself away, the woman smiled 'Patience'

'Nice name, you must need them being a nanny?' Piper grinned at her boys as they ran up to them,
'MUM!!' Wyatt and Chris threw themselves into her arms, looking at them Patience welled up she'd only seen them from a far and wanted to look after them like she was meant to.

Victor walked over and asked them to follow them to the reception at the Grand Hotel, it was Victors gift for missing out on the engagement party.

Sam and Patty took the children in their car, they had promised not to use magic so had taken up the offer of a chauffered car.

Grams smiled at Patience, she'd let them think of her as Patience and when the time was right the children would take over from their parents.

[Prue Halliwell]

Okay, pretty good so far, cant wait to read more

[Wiccan Witch]

As they entered the hotel foyer a warlock blinked in beside a pot plant, Paige, Paul and Victor were coming a few minutes after the photographs. Piper saw him and walked upto him ready to blast while no one was looking, before she could say a word he passed her a package and blinked out.

Wondering what had just happened Piper walked back to Leo who noticed the package, 'What and where did you get ther?'

'A demon just blinked in and handed it to me.' Piper looked at Leo who grabbed the package, before he could orb out Phoebe walked over.

'Whats that?' Piper and Leo filled her in quickly

'We have to get rid of that NOW!! Paige is about to pull up, we need Grams to orb it somewhere.'

Noticing they were huddled, Grams and Patty walked over asking what was wrong just then Paige walked in with Victor. Grabbing the package Grams orbed it to the attic and walked over to greet Paige and Paul, there was nothing that either side was going to do too ruin this wedding.

The warlock looked on as Grams had orbed the package out, he couldnt blame them for thinking it was evil, since it had come from a warlock he had the greatest respect for the Charmed Ones and had wanted to give them something for their bravery in battle. He also had to let them know there was a semi truce that would last a while longer, or at least until the demon ranks were replenished, he wanted to help the next source come into power.

Forgetting about the package so as not to ruin the reception, Grams smiled and sat with Patty and Sam smiling at Paige and Paul. After the speeches, and a wonderful meal, they got upto dance when 3 demons appeared amongst the guest, not wanting any trouble Piper, Leo, Sam, Mark and Phoebe escorted them out of the hall.

'So the elders havent told you!' Spark looked at Leo smirking at how inept the elders really were.

'What are you talking about, what is it with you lot and ruining our weddings???' Phoebe looked at them.

'Keep your hair on Phoebe, we're not here to start trouble, in fact we're here to give you a heads up that your elders and our source, dont look so stunned there's always been a source of evil or someone taking over the under world. After the last big battle we thought we'd send you a wedding gift.'

'OK whats in it?' Phoebe had had enough of their games and wanted them out of there.

'Thats for Paige and Paul to find out, lets just say they will be glad we sent it to them. Both sides dont have long before we start where we left off, for some reason the higher ups have wanted this truce. Dont ask us why, we havent found out anything, you know how devious we are at that.'

Looking at Piper, Spark smiled as he bowed low 'Piper, its also with great pleasure we tell you that Wyatt will never be gone after by our side again.'

'Yeah right, you were always after him in one form or another, we cant trust a word you say.' Piper flashed him an angry look

'Piper its true, we have our own powers of strength that are as strong as Wyatt. Its been decreed that any demon goes after him until he's come into his powers as an adult or able to handle them will be killed.'

Handing Leo a scroll, they watched as he opened it 'This confirms everything they have said, so why havent you brought them out apart from Zankou? Why would our higher ups not let us know whats going on?'

'We dont know, all we know is that the truce is to last a while longer. Oh the usual demons killing innocents but nothing like it was, we're upset that we cant but they are our orders and nothing we can do about it. Once again congratulations too Paige and Paul they will do well together, and there's also a new seer on both sides.'

WIth that they blinked out, 'What the hell are they on?' Phoebe looked at Mark , Piper and Leo.

'Dont know but something is up, Leo go find out as soon as the reception is finished and Paige and Paul have left for their honeymoon. We also need to tell Grams and Patty to meet up at the manor.' all of them agreed as they walked back into the hall too see Paige and Paul dancing on the floor engrossed in each other.

They didnt want anything upsetting them while they were so close to their honeymoon, as soon as they had left Victor offered to take the children back to his new house. It was a marked improvement from his small flat, as they agreed and went their seperate ways Grams, Patty and Sam orbed back to the manor, leaving Piper, Leo, Phoebe and Mark to follow on in the car.

'This has been one strange wedding day, at least the demons didnt attack.' Mark was the first to break the silence, Phoebe leaned against him.

'I'm not surprised the Elders dont know anything, they have never known alot the whole time we've been fighting demons. Even with Zankou and Sheridan they knew nothing, wonder why they have been allowed to last this long?' Piper had voiced what Leo and the others were thinking.

'Yeah, but what did they mean we had a seer, and they had given Paige and Piper a present, the only kind they give are evil ones.' Leo was more worried about what was in the package.

As they drew up to the front of the manor, Grams was standing at the door waiting walking inside the house Patty, Sam and Patience sat in the lounge.

'This looks cosy, whats up?' Phoebe hugged Patty and Sam then looking at Patience as she sat with a cup of tea chatting to Grams.

'Well we know the package is alright, we did some checking on it and its fine, we'll leave it for Paige and Paul to open it. Since its addressed to them.' Patty smiled at Piper who was worried about what was in it.

'But why give them a wedding present of all things, they are more likely to ruin a wedding than send a present.' Phoebe sat on the arm of the chair next to Mark who passed her a cup.

'They are upto something thats for sure, Spark doesnt bring this kind of information for nothing. At least they didnt attack and ruin her wedding, which is strange but nice.' Mark put his hand on Phoebe's knee, he knew when she was upset without her saying a word. Thats what she loved about him, knowing what was wrong then again it helped he was also another empath/telepath. They had found each other when she had been sent to protect him from a demon who collected empath powers, they had hated each other and built up walls so the other couldnt tell what the other was thinking.

Piper looked at Patience, 'Ok this is weird your name is Patience, how did you get to know Grams and Mum?'

Patience smiled, she had waited a long time for this introduction, looking at Grams, Patty and Sam she stood up as she did so the door bell went. Thats Wyatt right on cue, Leo went to answer the door, as he opened it his mouth fell open.

[Wiccan Witch]

'Hi Dad!' Wyatt hugged his father warmly, he was bigger than the last time he came back from the future.

'What are you doing here?' Leo asked as he walked into the lounge, with Wyatt behind him.

'WYATT!!!' Piper leapt out of her seat and hugged her eldest, just then the door opened again, 'Thanks for keeping it open guys.' as Chris walked in with presents for Paige and Paul.

'Where's Victor?' Chris wanted to see his grandfather since his last visit had ended abruptly with him going to help his parents with Zankou. After everyone had hugged them they sat down again.

'What does bring you back, apart from the wedding of course?' Phoebe smiled at her nephews, it had been a while since they had 'lost' Chris and not seen Wyatt in ages.

'Well, well, well, look what the wind blew in.' Patience stood at the lounge door having just come back from the bathroom.

'PATIENCE!!!' Wyatt hugged her tightly, then Chris, Patty and Grams smiled as Sam got up 'Its about time you were all introduced to Patience.'

'Thought she was the Nanny.' Piper looked at Sam, who was smiling she noticed her sons knew who she really was.

'Its OK Mum, Patience is my wife...' Wyatt looked at everyone's shocked faces

'When did you get married, why didn't you bring her back before now?' Mark grinned and shook his hand, followed by a hug from his parents.

Wyatt and Patience had met during the last fight with Gaxor, he was more vicious and sinister nothing and no one stood in his way of what he wanted, and he knew how to get it if not freely given. He was also Zankou's grandson and he certainly took after him in so many different ways, he'd inherited Zankou's smartness and his mothers looks.

Torture was one of his favourite hobbies, as he took more than the usual demon pleasure in it. He had studied the greats Attila the Hun, Vlad the impaler, and many many others through out the centuries.
That is what had set him out from the other demons, he studied books and got information about war tactics.

The other slight problem was not only telling them was Patience was from the Warren family tree, but that they were all grandparents to a brood of about 9 grandchildren in all. Grams, Patty and Sam had known that this was to happen, Chris smiled he loved Patience as a sister and always looked after her when Wyatt was doing something else.

Bianca had been Chris's one true love, or so he had thought till he had met, his now wife after nearly 4yrs of arguing and fighting about who was the better demon slayer. They had come to uneasy truce, and it had only been when they were bunked down by demons that they sat and talked getting to know a little about each other.

'So you captured our son's heart then?' Piper smiled at Patience, 'Another P too add to the family tradition.'

'Yes, I come from the Warren line as well a little unknown part of it though since you come from the main line of Warrens.'

'Wow, didn't know we had that many off shoots, Grams how come you didn't tell us sooner, would've been nice to have a bit more family.' Phoebe looked at her Grams who had a wistful look on her face.

'Whats wrong?' Leo looked at her and knew that look, 'Nothing Leo.' as she went into the kitchen, Leo went to follow her when Chris said he would go.

Piper and Phoebe looked at her, then at Patty and Sam who shook their heads slightly they knew that if Grams didn't want to say there was no way in heaven or hell that she'd tell them till she was good and ready.

Chris had always been close to her as much as she didn't like Victor she had to admit only to him, and swore him to secrecy that she admired Victor for putting himself in harms way for his family, and he'd done a grand job of helping raise the boys.

Looking at each other the others sat down to get to know Patience, Mark was checking her out when there was another knock on the door. 'Is this family get together night?' Phoebe asked as she got up to answer it.

Standing there was a disheveled looking woman, Phoebe was about to tell her she had got the wrong house, 'Is Chris here?'

'Chris who?' Phoebe looked at her again,

'Chris Halliwell, my husband' the woman leaned on the door post and took deep breathes.

In the kitchen Chris and Grams were talking about Patience and how they had to tell the others she was their second cousin twice removed, he hated family trees. Just then they heard Phoebe shout for him as he rushed into the hall way, the others were in the way and he didn't see who they were covering. Until Leo and Mark helped her through to the lounge where Sam had arranged the pillows on the couch.

'Prue?' Chris looked at Wyatt and Patience, they had left her looking after the children or so they thought his first reaction was to go back and kill whom ever had done this. Then he looked closer at her wounds, they hadn't come from demons, the earthquake had finally happened a natural disaster.

'Where are the children?' Patience looked at Prue and knew she'd not leave the children if they weren't safe, 'Its OK, they are safe and with their grandparents. I had to come back Chris to let you know..' she let out a painful cry as her body went forward.

'She's pregnant and came here to warn you of an earthquake?' Piper raced upstairs and grabbed the towels as she pushed Phoebe towards the kitchen to boil the water. Patience asked where the blankets were and Leo showed her, Chris knelt beside her tears welling up in his eyes.

'I'm sorry Chris, I shouldn't have come here, but if you'd come back you would've thought that it was a demon attack. But we felt the first jolts 3hrs after you left, so I got Leo to orb over to mum and dad's to see if they were alright and they organised to take the kids to some where safe.' gasping this out Grams ushered everyone else out of the room apart from Chris, Piper and Phoebe.

Sitting in the dining room, Leo looked at Wyatt and Patience, 'What is going on?'

'Its OK Leo, the news said the earthquakes wouldn't happen till next year, obviously got it wrong. We heard Paige was getting married, and knew it would look odd having two Wyatt's etc, so we decided to come and see just you lot.' Patience smiled at Leo who didn't look convinced.

Mark shook his head, 'Its OK Mark, we have got so used to telepaths trying to link in that we block them without thinking about it now.' Wyatt grinned at his uncle.

'Oh yeah and make sure that Phoebe keeps an eye on those twins, they'll be a handful.' he smiled wickedly at his uncle, who looked surprised then shook his head, 'What do you mean?'

'Thats the surprise, when you least expect it.' Grinning from ear to ear.

'How come she's named Prue?' Leo looked at them, since Prue had died and hadn't been back for a while they thought something had happened to her.

'Thats the other part we need to tell you about.' Wyatt looked at his father, he had only known his Aunt Prue through stories until she'd orbed back into their lives just before the big fight with Zankou.

'The original Prue found another Warren line connected to the same family tree, she was an innocent headed for greatness. Too cut a long story short, the woman she saved had twins a boy and girl the girl she named Prue, and the son Andy. It was a tribute to Prue and Andy, Andy is married to Paige's daughter Miranda. Yes another tribute to Piper and what should've been her daughter.'

Patience looked at Wyatt and knew this was the right moment to tell them everything, and that the demon had told the truth and what was in the box was to be opened that night.

'So in the end it doesn't matter who had boys or girls, the names keep being sent down the Warren line from boys and girls on wards. Its good to know Prue and Andy are remembered.' Leo smiled at Wyatt he had so much more to ask him and he wanted to know Patience too.

Mark got up, 'Anyone want another drink, or something stronger?'

'I'll help' Patty walked into the kitchen the orders kept in order in her mind.

'Wow, this is some night for a family reunion.' Mark washed the cups and dried them.

'Sure is, wonder if there are any more surprises?'

Just then.......................

[Wiccan Witch]

Paige and Paul walked in, looking at the commotion going on 'Hi, we're back whats going on?'

Piper looked at them, 'What are you doing here? And there's a baby...' she didnt finish as Prue gave a scream and out came her precious baby who instantly burped and orbed straight to Paige.

'OK, we got another baby in the house?' handing her back to Grams to wrap up.

'Oh, Hi Paige, hi Paul, what brings you back your meant to be on honeymoon.' Wyatt walked up and hugged them.

'Nice to meet you, but arent you meant to be in the future?' Paige put her coat and bags down.

'Uh, arent you meant to be on honeymoon?' Phoebe looked over to her sister as Chris held his new daughter, now it was 2 all and he was content. No more children after this as Prue had made a pact with him that four was the maximum, although she came from a big family herself he didnt want to put her under that much pressure.

They had their hands full with the other three, and all of them had a special power all their own and made for an interesting household, but Paige coming back was just as important.

'I got another niece, excellent Chris!' Wyatt kissed Prue on her forehead, and took the new arrival off Chris, Patience walked over and kissed Prue and sat with her as Piper cleaned her up and Phoebe put the bloodied towels in the wash.

Leo, Mark, Patty and Sam all huddled around the new baby, Paige and Paul looked at Grams who had walked over to them.

'There's a package for you two, it came at the reception but it said to be opened in private.' handing them the package the demon had sent them.

'Thanks Grams, we'll open it in a moment, we want to see a bit more of our future family memeber.'

Chris kissed Prue, 'Thank you darling, no more babies we have all we need and more than we hoped for.'

'I agree, Chris I never thought we'd be this happy but she is just perfect.' holding her daughter she looked around at everyone.

'Ok, now we have to think of a name since shes the last we'll have.'

Phoebe looked at the baby and wished it was hers, then Mark put his arm around her shoulders, 'We'll have a brood of them, you'll be fine.' kissing Mark on the cheek.

She didnt believe him, not after losing her third child and she hadn't let her hopes get up too high, but best not burst his bubble just yet, when she caught Wyatt smiling at them.

As she was about to answer the door opened, Victor s tood their with the children, 'Sorry about this guys but the water heating burst on me. The whole place is flooded and the guy is coming out in the morning.'

Leo and Mark took the twins and Wyatt and Chris upstairs and tucked them in, 'What a night we've had.' Mark said as he placed the twins in the cots, glad Piper and Leo had kept Wyatt's old on.

'Its sure has been crazy, but good since we have an uneasy truce. Its been a good time for a very rare family moment, without demon interruption.'

'Don't say that too loudly, you never know when it will be broken.' Mark smiled at Leo as they put the baby monitor on and half closed the door.

Walking downstairs, seeing Paige and Paul smiling from ear to ear. 'Oh Leo, Mark they named the girl Paige after me.'

'Yeah, apparently its tradition to name them after a Charmed one, since they have got the other 3 between them just Paige was missing and here she is.'

Holding up his wife's name sake, Paul beamed from ear to ear, not as much as Chris was as he sat with Prue who was sitting up.

Victor smiled as he was passed baby Paige, looking at Patty and Sam, he couldnt have been happier as he sat with her in his arms.

'Well little Paige, you've given everyone so much joy.' smiling at Paige she smiled back.

'She's perfect Chris, and Prue well done she's perfect.'

'I'm glad I finally got to meet you again.' Prue smiled at Victor, we meet when Chris and I finally sort out everything between us.

'How did you meet our nephew?' Paige asked.

'Hang on Paige you have a present to open.' Piper wasnt going to tell her it was from a demon in case she orbed it to a volcano.

Opening it up, Paige looked inside to find an ornate box that looked like a jewellry box. 'Where did you say this came from again?'

Looking at her sisters, 'A demon left it at the reception, and before you orb it out of here there's a note attached to the bottom.'

Taking the note Paul took a quick glance at it and passed it to Victor, everyone was puzzled as to why he had passed the note to Victor when they had been told it was for Paige.

'Your not going to believe this.' Victor looked at everyone and held Paige closer.

'Dear Paige and Paul,
This box is for Victor, the contents are for you. Enjoy the happiness it brings you, and Victor you can now protect your grandchildren without having to be cloaked.

Regards
Cole.

P.S Phoebe don't go off on one, glad you finally found happiness with Mark took him long enough.

'COLE?' came the chorus, Phoebe grabbed the note.

'I don't believe this, after all this time he still is entwined with our lives.'

'Oh Phoebe at least he's happy for you.' Piper smiled at what Cole had put last. She'd always believed that he was right to try and help Phoebe find love, and so glad he had pushed Mark and her together with her help.

THey had promised to keep that from Phoebe, and Piper was glad she had kept her word with how she sounded right then.

'Oh get over it Phoebe, Cole is doing what you always wanted to be nice and good. Well actually he had been good for quite a while.'
Phoebe looked at Patience, how would she know about Cole?

[Prue Halliwell]

very good I like it ...

[Wiccan Witch]

Sitting in the children's room, Cole smiled at the children as he did tricks for them too keep them quiet. He told them a picture story that made their eyes wide with amazement, with one last trick the toys danced around the room and the children fell asleep content that he had returned as promised.

He didn't want to disturb the others, they had a few nights off of demon hunting and demons had time off from killing innocents. They needed to enjoy this time because once the truce was over, everything would be back too normal.

Tucking the children in he orbed out, he had so wanted a son with Phoebe but things hadn't turned out that way. Now he was engaged to another whitelighter and they were one of the first couples to break that rule since there had been several whitelighter/witch/warlock marriages since Piper and Leo.

Leo had been the first to congratulate him, then Piper and Paige Cole smiled at the fact she'd been the one too suggest they didn't tell Phoebe what had happened to him. He decided a peak at mother and baby before heading off and orbed into where Pru sat with Paige, she looked up at him and asked him too uncloak.

'You don't need to cloak around me and Paige we know who you are and what you will do for our family in the future.'

Smiling she held Paige up for Cole to hold, as he took her in his arms he felt a warm glow flow over him. He had sworn to Chris and Wyatt he would always protect the family when they were away on other things, he had kept it but knew he had to allow Prue to come back in order for this moment.

Paige cooed in his arms, he loved her dearly and was her godfather Chris had said there was no other person that he'd rather have than someone who knew both sides as well as Cole did. Wyatt knew it but he didn't have the time to keep going down and upto date as muc has Cole, he'd become their eyes and ears down there and taught them a few tricks they thought they had known.

Paige burped and made them smile, 'She's going to be like her aunty, strong and true. She'll make her fair share of mistakes but she'll find her feet and be strong.' with that Paige hiccuped and orbed.

'All the half white lighters have that trait of orbing, Cole she needs you more than you realise. Phoebe I mean, she doesn't realise it but Mark will never make her truly happy till she deals with the past once and for all. I know you both said your goodbyes and thought you had it sorted, but it's more than that that's needed.'

'I know, but it's getting her to sit and talk like an adult rather than a spoilt bratt. Mark deserves her full love, not the half hearted attempt she's making but tonights not the night Prue.' He smiled at Prue as he handed Paige back.

'True, it's their time for getting to know us and themselves again. They will be needing Victor, oh that was you wasn't it who sorted his little problem.' smiling she punched Cole's arm.

'Yeah it was, well they might as well use this time as recharge time and have some fun, they have been out of that for quite a while. Now I must be off, I have a wedding too sort out and a honeymoon, take care of yourself and Chris he'll need you more than he realises.'

'I know, take care Cole and congratulations once more.' kissing him on the cheek he orbed out. She hated good byes, even though she knew that he was always around some where and a call away.

[Prue Halliwell]

great

[Wiccan Witch]

Patience had taken an instant dislike to Phoebe, and she never had an instant dislike for anyone since she had met up with a guy who said he was a good warlock, and her instincts had been so spot on then. So she wouldn't just dismiss this instinct right now, instead she took a deep breathe and turned to Victor 'So Paige gets the contents and you get the box, any ideas?'

Victor raised his eyebrows and shrugged, looking around at everyone as they stared at Paige pulling out fine materials, potions, ingredients it seemed endless. As she handed Victor the box some thing rolled inside, picking it up she held the brightly coloured crystal in her hand.

'Oh Paige, you are so blessed.' Grams smiled and took the crystal from Paige.

'What do you mean blessed?' Paul looked at Grams he knew what other crystals meant but this one was by far the most interesting one he'd seen in his life, he'd learnt fast and had found happiness in doing good things rather than follow his fathers life of being a warlock.

Grams smiled as she passed the crystal around everyone, while they were intrigued by this crystal she started telling them about this special crystal that both sides had thought it had been destroyed many centuries ago. It had been passed back and forth between the sides that many times, that some how both sides forgot who had it, that was until Harthor had got it and finally decreed that both sides would use it unwisely, so only new borns of certain families on both sides would have it till the new baby came of age.

That these babies would be protected and the crystal would disappear upon the child reaching the abilities and powers bestowed upon them.

Harkthor had seen its power destroy those who wanted the power for themselves, or destroy a baby to get the power. He had seen his brother kill his own son to get his powers, so he had stolen the crystal and set up the decree.

'So we know everything is about balance, and if we were to have balance why weren't we given this when Wyatt was born?' Phoebe looked at everyone, she didn't care about Patience she'd deal with her later and hated her for changing the subject from her ex husband.

'Because they had a great power as well, one that balanced out Wyatt's powers so neither side could change destinies before the time was right. Now for the reason why Paige should get it, means she is due to have a baby at some point. Unless there is something you two aren't telling us?.' Grams smiled she didn't want anything ruining her new Paige's birthday.

'What you mean that Paige might be??.' Piper smiled at her Grams as she collected cups and plates.

'No I'm not, and we don't plan on children for a while yet, so who else would it be for?' Paige then smiled as she picked up the crystal.

Victor covered Pipers hand with his, ''Its ok Piper, I'll do that you spend time with you Grams and Mum you haven't seen each other in months. Its a great time for a reunion, when no one can use powers on anyone else, even spells dont work tonight.'

Everyone looked at Victor as he spoke, this was the first time he had been active in speaking about witch craft and the rules of all things wiccan.

'How do you know that Victor?' Patty looked at her husband, she knew something was up and didn't trust it not to be demons behind it.

She took the box and looked inside, 'Can't be.' she whispered so low that they had to strain to hear her, she pulled out a little card that Victor had read to himself. Cole smiled too himself in the under world, just at the right time Victor had got the box and read the card to himself, it would help him in protecting his family in the future.

'What is it Patty?' Sam looked at her smile as she walked over and hugged Victor who was surprised she did as was everyone else.

'Welcome to the wiccan fold, I think I know who put this card in here and he done good.' turning to the others Patty smiled.

'Where you going Paige?' Phoebe watched as Prue walked down the stairs smiling at Paige as she was handed the crystal.

Chris walked over and hugged his wife, 'You sure your ok to be out of bed?'

'Yeah fine, we have a very special little girl one who has some fine powers too her name. Wyatt will you place this by Paige? Since you got the lions share of the powers, you'd be the one to give her this gift.'

Smiling at Prue and Chris, Wyatt orbed the crystal in the nursery. WHere little Paige slept soundly with her cousins in the other room, nothing was going to come tonight and disturb their sleep.

'All done' Wyatt smilled as he walked into the kitchen, Victor and Patty were talking about Victor becoming part of the wiccan group.

'I didn't expect to be part of this, I was the nuetral party a place of safety for all my family when they needed a place away from demon hunting....'

'Or normal family problems gramps' Wyatt smiled and picked up the tray of fresh drinks, he was pleased that Victor was now part of their world he'd be better placed too help in the coming years.

Leo and Mark found a pack of cards and decided the guys could play a game or two, while talking and catching up on things.
