Three dreams

[Wiccan Witch]

Piper, Phoebe and Paige lay in their beds asleep, Leo was up looking after Chris and Wyatt. They were playing quietly in the lounge, doing magic tricks that were allowed in the house.

Up in Leo & Pipers room, Piper tossed in the bed in her dream she walked into the underworld dressed all in black. Cole was there with Prue by his side, 'Welcome back Piper, you took longer than usual nothing bad happened.'

Prue looked at Piper and smiled, she looked at Prue 'What are you talking about? We don't do evil, we do good, protecting the innocents.'

'What are you talking about Piper, you were out vanquishing that whimp Barbas, always in the way making us work for things.' Cole smiled at her as he hugged Prue.

Prue and Cole??? Piper looked at them, best to play along and see what is going to happen, better wake up soon the boys will want to..

In mid thought Shax whirled in 'HEY HONEY, your back, how was it?'

HONEY?? 'UH fine, yeah good.' Piper couldn't believe she was married to Shax, where was Leo?

In walked Leo dressed in black his arm wrapped around Paige, kissing her passionately.

'Hey Piper glad your back, just in time for Phoebe's wedding.'

Piper looked at them as though they had lost their senses, Shax held her in his arms kissing her cheek.

'Wow you two haven't been that evil in quite a while, glad your making a come back Piper.' Leo smiled at her as though he'd never known she was his wife and they were meant to be good.

While in Phoebe's room, she turned over as she woke up with babies screaming, looking around she felt a soft smack on her hip.

Turning over slowly she met Andy's face, 'What are you?'

She didnt get to finish the sentence, 'Get up lazy bones, we've got alot to do today. The triplets are going barmy for their mum, so up and dressed please. I gotta go into work.'

She looked at him as he kissed her and walked out the bedroom door, what was Andy doing in her room, and triplets?

How come he wasn't married to Prue, walking out her room she walked into the hall. They all pulled at her at once, pulling her downstairs for breakfast.

Piper was sitting with Cole, Prue with Shax and Paige with Barbus, what the hang was going on went through her mind.

All of them were sitting at the table having a large banquet, 'Hey there sleepy head, come on tuck in.' Prue smiled at her, 'We have alot to get sorted before Paige's wedding to Barbus.

'Uh, wedding?' Phoebe couldn't believe what she was hearing, why was Cole with Piper, Shax with Prue since he had vanquished her, and Paige with a demon old enough to be her father in human terms.

'Dont' tell me you forgot my wedding?' Paige looked at her as she sat down.

'No, sorry slept so soundly I woke up forgetting a few things.' Phoebe tucked into some croissants and smiled at Andy walking in with more juice.

'Right I gotta go, see you later. And no I wont be late.' Andy kissed her on the cheek and then the children and was out the door.

Paige's room, she laid smiling softly as she woke up in her dream in her room.

Zankou stood over her, 'Morning sleepy head, here's breakfast. Piper has gone out with Shax, Prue with Barbas, and Phoebe and Leo.'

She sat bolt up right, 'Hey, calm down you dont want to have the baby right now do you?'

Paige looked at Zankou, then down at her stomach, Pregnant?? 'The doctor says you can get up today, only if you take it easy, we've demon proofed the house so you wont be attacked.'

Demon proofed, he was the flamin demon, and why was she married to him??

A light tap on the door, Zankou opened it and in walked Piper and Shax walked in, Prue and Leo, then Phoebe and Barbas.

'Hey glad your feeling better, we wont stay long just to let you know we have put Leo and Prue's wedding back a couple of weeks until your feeling better.'

'Thanks guys, I'll have breakfast and get up in a few minutes.' Paige smiled at them, trying to keep herself together.

'Ok, we'll be in and out all day too keep an eye on you and we'll see you later.' Leo kissed her on the cheek as they walked out.

Zankou sat next to her, 'You know darling it's not long before our daughter comes into this world, we have the room ready for her. But the name we need to decide soon, your Grams is wanting a wiccaning as soon as she's born.'

'Names? Uh, lets wait till she's born then I'm sure we'll know what to call her. Now off you go and I'll be fine.'

She wanted Zankou out so she could think about what was going on, she'd gone to bed just after the others. They had all had a hot drink and Leo & Piper were looking forward too their second honeymoon.

What had happened in that time, that she'd woken up in this weird reality. She daren't call for Leo as he was already there, and he was married to Prue, and how did she come back from the dead?

In the lounge in their own time, Leo was talking to his sons, 'We had better go wake up mummy, and your aunties. They have to get ready for your cousins christening.'

Eleanor orbed in, smiling at Leo and the boys, 'Leo can I have a word?' motioning to the conservatory.

Telling Chris and Wyatt to play nicely he followed Eleanor into the conservatory. 'What's wrong?'

'The girls are in trouble, and the children will have to goto Victor's for a while.'

'What do you mean in trouble, they are asleep still.'

Looking at Leo, Eleanor tried hiding her worry, 'Thats the problem, they are in an alternative reality in their dreams and nothing is going to wake them up. Until they can all meet up in one singular dream, and wake up. Failing that, we send in Myra she knows how to bring them back.'

Leo looked at Eleanor, next minute he took her in his arms and kissed her, 'You do know how to tease a guy don't you?'

Kissing him back, Eleanor giggled 'Of course I do, Piper will be back soon with Shax and the others, so we dont have much time.'

With that they walked into the kitchen, lying on the couch Leo smiled as he slept while Chris and Wyatt played with their toys using their powers.

Zankou walked around the attic and smiled to himself, how easy had this been too get the girls to go live into their dreams. As for Leo, well he had been a bonus, he wasn't going to let the darklighters kill him just yet, it wasn't sporting if they killed them while they were asleep.

He did like his sport....

[Prue Halliwell]

Good one .. updates soon ?!

[Wiccan Witch]

Wyatt looked at his father worried that something was wrong, he put a protective sheild around Leo and Chris and walked up to his mum and aunts. Zankou felt his presence and knew he'd forgotten the children, but they were of no matter since they'd fall asleep in a bit anyway, naturally of course.

Walking into his mothers room Wyatt looked at her sleeping peacefully, putting another sheild around her he walked into Paige and Phoebe's room he did the same thing to them.
Wyatt then walked back down stairs and picked up the book of shadows, having learnt how to call his grandmother and great grandmother first in emergencies when something was wrong.

Before he could call, in walked Victor who had come to drop off the christening presents while Patty was back at his house looking after the other grandchildren. Paige had gotten married before Phoebe, who had lost her husband some where in another dimension and he had promised to come back as soon as he could find a way back.

Victor took on look at Leo and Chris and instantly went running to find Wyatt and the others, turning around Wyatt stood before him 'Granpa, we need help.'
'Yeah, I see. Mum, Paige and Phoebe not up yet either?'

'No, asleep upstairs.' Wyatt was close to tears he wanted his parents and didn't know how to help them.

'It's ok Wyatt, you done a great job of protecting them. We'll get Chris take you both back too mine and I'll come back with Grams and Granma, OK?' Victor looked at Wyatt, he knew he would hide his emotions as best he could and did his best to protect his family.

He didn't want Wyatt ever thinking he wasn't good enough so praising him whenever he did something good was high on Victors list. Picking up Chris, he took Wyatts hand who had orbed their favourite things into a bag and walked out the door, putting a sheild around the house so no one could get in or out.

Zankou smiled to himself, good old Victor always coming to the rescue. Now that Wyatt was out of his way he'd be able to concentrate on getting the book of shadows in his own time, and not have the charmed ones fighting him for it.

Walking into his own house Victor called Patty who looked shocked to see her grandsons so soon, 'What happened Victor?, Where's Leo and Piper?'

'They're asleep nan, someone bad is in the house too.' Wyatt looked at Patty with sad eyes, he knew that Patty was strong and could help.

'Oh, darling. We'll find a way of helping mummy and daddy, do me a favour entertain your cousins for me while I talk to grandad?'

Wyatt walked into the lounge and immediately set up a dancing circus for his cousins who quitened down, though his mind was racing on how to help his parents.
Back in the hall way Victor looked at Patty worried that something serious was going on, 'Better put Chris in there too.' before he took another step Chris orbed himself to his brother.

'Wow, that's a first for Chris.' Patty and Victor were impressed, but they had bigger things to think about at the moment.

'We need Grams, she'll be able to help us figure out whats going on.' Victor smiled ruefully, there was an uneasy peace between them at the moment, begrudingly he agreed to summon her.

While calling for her mother and getting no answer, Patty looked at Victor worried since there had never been a time when she wouldn't answer a call from her daughter, espeically if it involved her great grandchildren. Instead in walked adult Wyatt and Chris, 'Gramps and Granny!!' the boys smiled and hugged them.

'What are you two doing here?, not that we're not pleased to see you but we're trying to reach.'

'Grams, oh she's having fun at the moment right in her element of demon killing, might take her a while as one's quite fascinated with her.' the boys laughed at this since they knew exactly what their Grams was upto.

'Having fun, at a time like this? We need her NOW! Something's wrong with your parents.'
Victor wasn't amused by this news, and pointed to the lounge where the adult boys peeked around and looked at themselves as child and baby.

'Take it you orbed to me when you knew I needed a bit of support then Chris.' Wyatt smiled at Chris who punched him in the arm.

'I knew something was up, always when you're stressed and don't know what to do. We knew about this period and knew we were the only ones who could come back and help you.'

Chris smiled at his grams who had ushered them all in to the kitchen for something to eat, Wyatt sat next to her as Chris sat next to Victor. 'Always a nans boy' Chris teased
'Always a granpa's boy.' Wyatt stuck out his tongue at his brother they had always been closer to both of them especially in their teens when they had lost their parents.

'Ok, you two enough teasing, this is serious tell us all you can about whats going on in the manor now.' Patty looked at her grandsons, so glad they were both back.

'One word grams, Zankou.' Wyatt looked at them with sad eyes, he remembered so well what he had done when he was a child to help protect his parents, this time as an adult he could do so much more.

As he had admitted to Chris when they heard, he never felt that he was all powerful at any time. Yeah sure he had plenty of fire power, could do alot of things with his powers but that didn't mean that he was all powerful in the right areas.
Chris had smiled at his brother, and agreed that there was always something missing that all the power in the universe couldn't fill - their parents. Oh they had come in spirit form and occasionally solid form but it had never been the same as if they had been their physically for their whole teen/adult period.

Back in the Manor, Piper, Phoebe and Paige were trying to figure out why they were in an alternative reality to what they knew.

While Zankou looked for the book of shadows, which Wyatt had......

[Wiccan Witch]

Zankou swore, he had searched the whole house giving the order not to displace anything so when the girls woke up they would think they had just over slept a little and none the wiser about what really happened.

Wyatt had hidden the book in his toy box, as a toy book of all things. He had heard his parents talk often about how too protect the book from Zankou and wished they could make the book unobvious and stop some of the attacks.

Well that was the plan, instead inside their dreams each of the girls started working on a way to find out what was going on. Piper looked at Shax who was standing in front of her with his idea of a present for Phoebe and Barbas's wedding, 'You know Shax, they have one of those things already.'

She couldn't work out if it was a lampstand or a shapeshifter gone wrong, what was even more puzzling to Piper was the fact she was married to this demon and they were evil.
Let alone how her sister Prue was alive instead of dead, then a thought struck her if Prue was alive then she was in either a past life or an alternative life.

Shax walked upto Piper looking at her with soft eyes that told her how much he loved her, 'We haven't been this close in ages, ever since those charmed ones vanquished your best friend. It wasn't my fault that she had gone out when I told her to stay here while I checked out the viability of vanquishing or at least attempting to vanquish them.'

The Charmed Ones? She was a Charmed One, so who were these Charmed ones, Shax was going on about? Coming back to what he was saying, Piper looked at him as he went on bended knee.

Taking her hand, he looked into her eyes 'I love you Piper as much as any two demons can love each other. We were made for each other, after Leo treated you so badly and I saw how much he hurt you. I didn't want you too be hurt again, we took so long getting together I don't ever want to lose you again.'

Piper's mind was racing she had to get to the manor and find out what was going on, but with the wedding to prepare for and Shax doing his romance bit she would have too wait a while too sort this out and get back to her reality.

Thinking quickly Piper squeezed his hand, 'It looks like I went over the top a bit over her, because we expect to be killed by The Charmed Ones, and she should've listened to someone with as much experience as you.'

Shax's face looked full of hope as she continued for a bit longer, 'So now you go off and find Prue and the others, I'll get ready and be long in a moment.' smiling at her Shax got up kissed her on the fore head and walked out of the cave.

As soon as he had left Piper looked at her surroundings and decided too see what powers she did possess, when Leo blinked in. That was one of her questions answered all of them could blink and or shimmer, 'Hey, Piper. The great lump gone then?'

He slipped his arms around her and began kissing her passionately, 'What are you DOING!!??' Piper pushed him away.

'What do you mean, just cos he went on bended knee doesn't stop our wonderful arrangement.' he pulled her back into her arms. So she blinked and nothing happened, so blinking wasn't her power, so she tried shimmering and shimmered over to the other side of the cave.

'Come near me again and I will call Shax and you two can have a little one on one chat.' Piper looked at Leo, she wanted out of there and at least with Shax she'd be safe.

'What's wrong with you Piper, you have been quite happy for me and you to have this little arrangement for some time. Why does Shax going on bended knee make any difference?'

Blinking in behind her, he put his arms around her and knuzzled her neck. 'HOW DARE YOU!!! What about Paige?'

He spun her around, 'Paige and I are fine, she has her flings and she doesn't mind me having mine. So no problem on that one, now come here and stop being so defensive.'

Kneeing him in the groin, Piper shimmered out of the cave and ended up next to Shax, it wasn't the place she had aimed for but at least it got her away from Leo being lecherous. She decided she might as well use this to her advantage, taking his hand she pulled him a little apart from the others.

'Your right, we should try and work things out. No more trying to hide things from each other.' Shax picked her up in a hug and kissed her passionately, what she didn't need she thought but best not get them wondering if she was their Piper.

'Wow, this is a turn around sister.' Prue smiled at Piper, 'About time you two got things together, now mayb things can get back to normal around here.'

'Yeah, yeah, ok. So what's going on with this wedding?' Piper smiled at Prue, there was no way she could let her find out she wasn't her real sister.

Phoebe walked in with bruises all over her face, followed by Barbas who had bruised fists and blood running from a cut to his face. 'WHat happened?' Prue looked at both of them.

'Your slapper of a sister, was just getting it on with Parmas!!! Behind my BACK!!!' Barbas threw Phoebe into Prue who caught her. Looking at Phoebe as she sniffled through a broken nose, 'How many times have we told you too keep your hands to yourself???'

'I wasn't getting it on with anyone, Parmas was helping me with some new defense techniques. I got it wrong and fell on top of him, he had to put his hands on me too help me get up again.'

'YOU LIE!!!!' Barbas roared

'OH SHUT UP!!! Your an over bearing, hyped up wind bag who thinks that we're worried about your abilities. Well we're not and you hit Phoebe again, and I'll make sure you wont be doing any more fear mongering for eternity.'

Everyone turned around thinking it had been Shax who had spoken, instead his brother decloaked and walked upto Phoebe. She walked behind Prue she hated Shax's brother, ever since he had killed her first demon boyfriend she was surprised he hadn't killed Barbas for hurting her like this.

Barbas shimmered out, as Leo shimmered in with Paige leaning on his arm smiling...

[phsycic]

oooh nice story!

[Wiccan Witch]

Phoebe was scared this wasn't the manor she'd gone to sleep in, how the hang was she married to Andy? Prue would've killed her by now let alone Piper and Cole what was that all about? As for Paige and Barbas?

Once everyone leaves she'd have a snoop around the manor to figure out what was going on, as everyone was with people they should never be if this was the real manor. Prue and Shax that was just creepy the way they were all over each other, although he'd be better for her as he wouldn't be having to watch his back like Andy was.

Which brought her back to why she was married too Andy, 'Hey Phoebe pass your plate, the kids need too get ready for play group now? What's up?'

Phoebe looked at Piper finally registering that she had spoken to her as her triplets ran upstairs too grab their bags, 'Oh sorry not feeling too clever, just dont tell Andy.' forcing a smile Phoebe went to get up.

'If your not well then you had better take it easy, Cole and I will take the kids to school you just pamper yourself for once.'

Phoebe looked up too see Shax taking two of the triplets by the hand as Cole picked up the third and his childrens hands, then she saw Barbas pick his youngest up and hold him close. All three men got the children ready, she watched as he gently guided them into the hall way with Prue, Piper and Paige following behind.

As they saw the children off they sighed together and turned toward Phoebe smiling, 'Ok, whats wrong?'

'Tell me later, I'm late for work. Chat tonight Phoebe!' with that Paige orbed to the office, ORBING?? Phoebe couldn't believe that she would orb like that.

'What do you mean?' Phoebe was scared they would realise she wasn't their sister, then Prue pulled her up and put her arm around her guiding them into the lounge towards the couch.

'Come on, the I don't feel well routine. Its another baby isn't it?' Piper giggled at that.

'I don't think so, I just don't feel myself today.'

'Better stay home today, and take time out of your hectic schedule.' Prue smiled at her. Hectic schedule? That was Prue's job to be so hectic you didn't know if she was coming or going.

Piper picked up the phone, 'Right better ring your boss, and tell them you wont be in today. Oh yeah and to cancel your appointment with the hairdresser. Anything else Madam?'

Prue and Piper giggled at this, Phoebe gave them a bemused look 'Wonder what she drank last night?'

Prue picked up a book on cameras and photography, so she was still doing her photography. 'Hows P3 going?'

'Are you ok Phoebe?? We haven't got the fire departments green light this time, since we fried several demons in there and set it on fire. Now we have to rebuild and that's where your company comes in, the one you and Dan set up?'

Prue and Piper looked at each other, some thing was wrong and they didn't want Phoebe getting worried if she was possessed again by a demon. Patting her leg Prue suggested she get some rest on the couch while they cleaned up, putting the blanket over Phoebe as she closed her eyes, Prue and Piper walked into the kitchen.

As soon as they had gone Phoebe looked around the lounge, the furniture hadn't changed so why was she here too save her sisters??? They seemed happy enough to be where they were, in fact very content in their lives that wasn't present in her reality, she wondered again if she was in a premonition type dream and this was how it was supposed to be.

In the kitchen, Piper and Prue looked at each other 'How come she's lost so much of her memory since going to bed last night?'

Picking up the coffee pot, Prue went to fill it up talking over her shoulder 'I don't know, we better check the book of shadows see if there's a potion too help her remember the past 24hrs. Especially since we have her wedding anniversary tonight too get ready for, glad she believed us about P3 or we'd be in trouble'

Taking cups from the cupboard Prue looked at Piper who was deep in thought, walking upto her Prue put her arm around her. 'It's going to be alright you know, she's the strong one of the family. Always has been and always will be, we'll figure it out we always do and our husbands wont let anything happen too us.'

Smiling Piper picked up the coffee and poured them two cups, passing Prue the other cup she then looked at her watch 'Drink up, we gotta go pick up the decorations and clean up P3 and you have that interview for that new job. We'll take a look in at Phoebe and out the door.'

Downing their coffee, Prue nodded then picked up their coats heading for the lounge again, finding Phoebe lying with her eyes closed they pulled the cover over her again and walked quietly out the door. As soon as the door closed Phoebe waited till she heard the car drive away, getting up she walked upto her bedroom too look around and find out what was going on.

As she got inside the door she heard the front door open and the three men walked in wihtout looking in the lounge they walked into the kitchen. 'They are forever leaving coffee brewing ready for us to come home.'

Shax laughed heartily, as they walked through 'Prue wont leave the house wihtout making sure that coffee is on for us, what's up with Phoebe she sure wasn't with it today. Sure her and Andy are ok?'

Cole looked at the others as if he was reading their minds, as they talked Phoebe used it to sneak back on the couch and close her eyes again. Just as they brought a tray in with the paper work they had decided too do all their taxes at once and not worry Andy on his wedding anniversary.

Walking in they noticed Phoebe 'asleep' on the couch, and did a quick side step into the conservatory, Cole put up a forcefield around her so that if they were attacked she'd be safe from harm.

Barbas scratched his hand and then looked at it, 'Uh guys think you better put that lot down.'
Cole and Shax looked at him, 'Whats wrong?'

'That's not Andy's Phoebe.'

They looked at Barbas as though he had two heads, 'What do you mean that's not Andy's PHoebe of course it is!' Cole had always been protective of her and didn't like the implications of her not being the real Phoebe, especially since they had just got over a rought time together.

Shax looked at Phoebe and walked over to her, 'Lower this thing will you Cole?' once it was down Shax walked up to Phoebe and looked at her closely sweeping her mind with his.

'That's odd, she's not the real Phoebe.'

'What are you two on?' Cole couldn't understand it, they were all looking at her, all seeing the same thing but Barbas and Shax were adamant that this wasn't the real Phoebe.

'Ok, then we need to get either Prue and or Piper back here, since Paige can't take time away from her innocent this week.' Cole looked at them and knew that they were in for a long day.

Picking up the phone he called Piper.................

[Prue Halliwell]

Very good .. cant wait for more ..

[Wiccan Witch]

Leo and Eleanor were enjoying themselves in the kitchen, when he heard Prue call from the hall way. Quickly putting their clothes straight Leo walked into the hall to greet her, pulling her into his arms as Eleanor orbed out smiling to herself and how she could get one over on the Charmed Ones.

Phoebe and Piper walked in followed by Cole and Dan, stopping short as Prue and Leo pulled apart smiling.

'Hey, thought you two were out today?'

'Nah, I went out and Leo looked after the boys.' Prue smiled at them as they all put their coats up and the girls went into the kitchen.

Leo and the other men walked into the lounge too see Wyatt floating Chris in the air, as Chris giggled, they didn't say anything till Wyatt put his brother on the floor.

'Hey, you being gentle with Chris?' Dan sat on the floor with Wyatt grinning at his face

'You enjoying yourself there Chris.' Cole picked up Chris and handed him to Leo as he smelt his nappy.

'Time for dad to change your bum there mate, have fun dad.' Leo laughed at Cole's face as he took him upstairs.

In the kitchen Piper and Phoebe looked at Prue whose face said it all, 'Oh I thought you two had enough with Chris and Wyatt?' Piper teased Prue as she put the pot on for dinner.

Smiling Paige walked in with Kyle, 'Hey guys, me and Kyle have an announcement. The men here too I hope.'

All the women wanted to know what was going on and couldn't wait for Paige to tell them what was going on, so they all poured into the lounge and when everyone was settled, Paige and Kyle told them they were expecting a baby.

The noise that followed was almost deafening as everyone congratulated them.........
