Summary: Piper is summoned to the future by herself and is told that Leo will turn evil unless she can prevent it. He will kill the elders and Paige and Phoebe unless she can stop a certain event. Can Piper find the strength to stop her husband?
CHAPTER 1
It had been a perfect day, the sun had shone brightly all day, no clouds had graced the sky, and a small gentle breeze had been blowing softly. The picnic had been perfect and the company had been perfect. Piper lay with her husband on their picnic blanket in the park that overlooked the golden gate bridge.
They had spent the whole day together free from demons, free from the elders, free from her sisters and most of all free from magic; they were just a normal married couple. They lay side by side looking up at the clear night sky, the stars seemed to be shining more brightly than ever and it seemed to be just for them, neither of them spoke as they lay together, no words were needed between them.
Leo reached down and gently raised his wife’s hand to his lips; he brushed his lips against her soft skin. Piper smiled and let out a contented smile.
"I wish this moment could last forever," Leo said as he placed her hand on his chest.
"I know what you mean" Piper replied. A shooting star danced across the sky. They both looked at each other. Leo’s eyes twinkled in the moonlight.
"Well make your wish," he teased.
"You first"
"I know what you will wish for, I saw the way you were looking at the children in the park today, so make your wish"
Piper didn’t realize that she had been so obvious; she should have known that he would know her thoughts. God she loved this man.
"Okay I wish." his lips on hers stopped her. It was a gentle kiss at first that turned into a passionate kiss. Leo pulled away and looked around to make sure that nobody was around them, Piper read his mind then looked around too. They had moved earlier to a more private spot, trees and bushes and just a small area of grass surrounded them. Piper looked back at Leo and raised her eyebrows playfully. Leo returned the smile and kissed her again. Gradually it moved onto more things and after a little while they were making love.
After they finished, they lay together wrapped up in the picnic blanket holding each other.

"Well if that didn’t make a baby then I just don’t know what will" Leo said.
"Yeah it was kinda wonderful wasn’t it, and so naughty, not to mention against the law" she said as she began to giggle.
"Come on lets go home and have a shower, I will clean your grass stains if you will clean mine" They both laughed as Leo orbed them back to the manor.
Phoebe heard the shower going and realized that her sister must be home. She ran to Paige’s room and knocked on the door.
"Yeah" came a voice from inside, when Phoebe entered Paige was finishing off the spell she had written to kill a nasty demon.
"Is it ready because they are back?" Phoebe asked eagerly.
"Yep I have just finished it" she jumped off the bed and followed Phoebe to Piper’s room. They could hear her sister laughing.
"Knock, knock" Phoebe said as she tapped the door.
"Just a second" Piper said. Phoebe could hear the disappointment in her voice. They had obviously had a good day she thought to herself.
Piper opened the door in her dressing gown and her hair dripping so wet it was already gathering a little pool in the doorway.
"Hi guys" she said, not opening the door, which both her sisters knew meant that Leo was probably still naked.
"Have a nice day?" Phoebe asked.
"Perfect just perfect, no elders no demons no magic" she stopped when she saw her sisters eyes drop to the floor.
"Oh no, no, no, no, not now, this is my perfect day"
"Sorry sis duty calls, I had a vision of a big bad horrid ugly demon about to kill a witch" Piper sighted and told them she would be dressed and out in a minute.
"Back to work" she said to Leo as she got changed, he hugged her and got changed.
"Do you need me?" he asked hopefully.
"I don’t think so, I will call you if we get in trouble okay" They kissed and she joined her sisters who were standing in the hallway downstairs waiting to orb them away.
The demon that they had killed had been the only one now for a couple of weeks. The girls were all enjoying the time off and the return to normal life.
It was a Sunday morning and Piper was sitting in the kitchen when Paige and Phoebe walked in.
"Morning sweaty" Phoebe said. Piper ignored them and began to count on her fingers and mumble away to herself.
"Good morning to you too" Phoebe said to her self. Paige and Phoebe helped each other make their breakfasts; they both stopped when Piper stood up from her chair and looked at the calendar on the wall. She began to count again in her head this time. Paige came over and looked at the calendar too, it was filled with events at the club.
"Piper honey are you okay" Piper mumbled something then stopped and looked at her sisters.
"I’ve got to go" she said with a smile and ran out of the room.
"Does senile dementia run in our family" Paige asked as they sat down to eat their breakfast.
CHAPTER 2
Piper rushed out the house and drove her car fast to the chemist. She rushed inside and searched the shelves for a home pregnancy test. She finally found one and made her way quickly to the till. The old lady that was serving scanned the item and smiled at Piper.
"Are we excited or worried" she asked shaking the box in the air.
"Oh definitely excited" Piper said just wanting to get home and do it.
"You know I remember when I had my first child, there is nothing quiet like it, it will change your life forever" Piper put on her business fake smile as the old lady drivelled on. Finally she handed Piper her change.
"Here you go honey, and good luck"
"Thank you" Piper yelled as she ran out the door. Piper rushed to her car and drove home. The whole trip had taken only 10 minutes; she tucked the box inside her coat and made her way inside.
"Piper is that you" Phoebe called from the kitchen.
"Yep I’ll be there in a minute," she yelled back as she ran up the stairs. Phoebe came out from the kitchen and saw her running up the stairs; she shrugged her shoulders and went back into the kitchen.
Piper entered her room and locked the door, then moved into the bathroom and locked that door. She didn’t know if the butterflies in her stomach were from the excitement or that she was pregnant and it was the baby.
She unwrapped the packet and scanned the instructions.

"Yada, yada, yada, basically pee on the stick even I can do that"
Piper did as the instructions said and placed the stick on the side of the bath upside-down. She turned away and looked at her watch and counted down the seconds. Once the minute limit was up she gave it an extra 30 seconds just in case. She turned around and looked at the stick.
That little piece of paper and plastic was going to change her life forever in the next couple of seconds. She hoped. She breathed out and turned it over.
"Two lines" she said and grabbed the box to check.
"Oh my god, I’m going to be a mommy" she looked up at herself in the mirror and saw her own shocked and happy expression, then she looked down at her stomach and placed her hand on it.
"Hey you in there, I’m your mummy" she hugged herself and then realized that she needed to tell Leo now, she couldn’t wait.
"Leo, it’s urgent" Leo orbed in instantly.
"Honey, are you alright, what’s wrong, do you need healing" he said as he looked around her for signs of injury. Piper smiled at his caring nature.
"What is it?" he said getting worried by her silence.
"Two lines"
"What?"
"Your going to be a daddy" Piper said lifting up the pee stick and box, Leo looked at both just to confirm then looked up at his wife.
A huge dopey grin came over his face; he lifted her up in the air and spun her round laughing and kissing her face all over.
"I love you, I love you, I love you," he kept saying to her.
"Lets go and tell the girls," he said, as he knew that they would be over the moon. They ran out of the room and down the stairs and found their family still lazing around eating their toast.
"What’s going on?" Phoebe said, Piper looked at Leo to ask approval to tell them and he nodded.
"Were going to have a baby, I’m pregnant"
Phoebe dropped the toast and rushed to hug her, Paige too. Then all four started jumping up and down together.
"Oh my God, I’m going to be an aunty" Phoebe said, and stopped smiling when Paige slapped her arm.
"Hey, we are going to be aunties"
"Well, when is she due, when come on, where is your ultrasound"
"I don’t have a due date we have just found out"
They sat in the kitchen for 2 hours laughing and taking turns talking to her stomach. Eventually and regretfully Leo had to return to work, but before he did he leant down to Piper’s stomach and said.
"Daddy will be back later, I love you both" Piper had tears in her eyes and kissed him before he orbed out.
"Hey what do you think about going to the attic to tell grams, mum and Prue" Phoebe asked.
Piper nodded and they all rushed upstairs.
Paige placed out the candles and then stood with her sisters to recite the familiar spell.

Hear these words, hear my cry, spirits from the other side, come to me, I summon thee, cross now the great divide.

Grams appeared in front of them smiling at them all.
"Hello my Darlings, what can I do for you"?
"Well you can call our mother and Prue please we have something major to tell you all" Grams looked worried but did as she asked and then all three former witches stood in the circle.
"Hi guys what’s going on?" Prue asked.
Piper walked forward and smiled at them all.
"I wanted to tell you all together at the same time, I’m pregnant, I’m going to be a mommy"
All 3 former witches rushed outside of the circle and into real life and hugged her.
"It just doesn’t get much better than this" Paige said but then they all gasped as Piper began to glow then disappeared.
"Me and my big mouth" Paige said as all the family looked at her.
CHAPTER 3
"Where the hell did she go?" Prue demanded.
"Maybe the demon world found out and they want the child’s powers" Grams said. They all fell silent thinking of the consequences.
"No, hang on, they can’t know about her, she only just found out herself today"
"L.." but before Paige could finish calling his name he orbed into the hectic attic scene.
"Something’s wrong I cant sense Piper" he shouted then looked around at everyone.
"What’s going on?" he asked Phoebe.
"Piper was just letting us know the happy news when she just vanished" Patty said holding onto his arm for moral support.
Leo had always been protective of Piper but since the morning, he had been feeling a whole new set of sensations, now it was also protection for his unborn child too. He was angry; no he was furious that someone would take his wife.
"Who could have taken her, I will orb to the underworld to try to sense her and when I find the demon who has them I will make them sorry" Paige looked at him oddly, she had never heard Leo speak like that before, but then again he had never been a father before.
Phoebe turned Leo around to face her.
"Leo, go to the underworld and she if she is there, if she is then come back for us, okay, don’t do anything on your own"
Leo looked outraged at first then his face softened and he nodded.
"Okay" he orbed out leaving the Halliwell and Paige struggling for ideas
Leo came back a minute later looking confused.
"She’s not down there"
"What, well, if she is not down there and not up here then does that mean that" Phoebe couldn’t finish the sentence.
"I’ll go and check" Grams said as she stepped back into the circle and disappeared.
"Hang on a minute, that’s what it looked like isn’t it" Paige said pointing to the sparkles as grams disappeared.
"Yeah I think it did" Phoebe said.
"So, what?" Leo asked.
"Maybe she has been called either to the future or to the past" Paige looked at Prue to see if it was possible.
"She’s right, that makes perfect sense," Prue said smiling proudly at her baby sister.
"So you don’t think we need to worry then" Patty said.
"She’ll be back in no time," Paige said sounding more confidants then she felt.
Piper appeared in the attic but there was no one there, it was dark outside.
"Hello, Phoebe, Paige" she called out; she heard movement in the shadows.
"Their not here" said the voice that sounded familiar.
"Who’s there?" Piper asked getting ready for a fight.
A figure stood out of the shadows and Piper gasped.
"Hello Piper"
"Your me"
"I am you, exactly a year from now" Piper would have guessed that her future self was older by the look of her, she had big dark bags under her eyes, she was thin, much to thin and her hair was shoulder length with bits of grey in it.
"Why did you call for me?" Piper asked. Future Piper walked around and looked out of the window for a second then came back to face her.
"Something tragic has happened and I am hoping that by telling you about it, you might be able to do something about it, this is the last thing I can try" Piper’s heart was beginning to beat fast.
"What was so bad that you had to bring me here to change the past"?
"Our husband is a murderer" Piper looked at herself with an incredible expression.
"What, Leo, come on don’t be so ridiculous" Future Piper rushed forward to within an inch of Pipers face and shouted out.
"DON’T TELL ME WHAT IS RIDCULOUS, I WATHCED HIM KILL PAIGE, I WATCHED HIM DELIEVER PHOEBE TO THE SOURCE FOR EXECUTION, I WATCHED HIM TURN OUR CHILD EVIL SO DON’T TELL ME ITS RIDICULOUS"
Piper stepped back from her future self and put her hand up in the air, she had never seen herself that angry before.
"I’m sorry, I don’t understand, are you saying that in a year my sisters will be dead by Leo’s actions"
Future Piper nodded as tears began to form in her eyes.
"How could this happen, this morning we only just found out I, we were pregnant this is supposed to be the happiest time in our lives"
"And it was for a short time, until the elders stepped in as usual"
Piper’s heart sank, she remembered how much they had interfered and been against her and Leo getting married, she wasn’t sure how they would react to a magic baby.

"Why, how did they react" Future Piper limped over to the chair. It was then that Piper saw that her leg was bleeding.
"Your hurt"
"It’s just a stab wound, its nothing"
"Nothing here let me look at it"
"There is no time, I need to tell you what is going to happen so you will believe me and when they will happen, and "
"And what"
"And if you fail to stop these events from happening, then your only course of action will be to kill Leo"
CHAPTER 4
Piper gasped at how she could say it so easily, she was talking about killing her soul mate; the only man she had ever truly deeply loved. How could things have gone so wrong, maybe she was mistaken, maybe this was another dimension, or a parallel universe, she didn’t really expect me to kill Leo.
"Firstly when Grams, mum and Prue went back up to heaven after we told them the news they told Andy, then Melissa Warren, good news spreads and before no time the elders got wind of it. They had a meeting and called Leo and myself to it"
"A meeting, to discuss what exactly?" Future Piper wiped away the tears.
"To discuss weather or not we were allowed to continue along with the pregnancy"
"WHAT, THEY CANT, HOW DARE THEY" Future Piper grabbed her arms.
"I know, believe me I know, I was royally pissed as was Leo, they told us that they would need some time to force the future outcomes"
"Outcomes, I don’t understand, what did they expect our child to be"
"I’m not sure what they were thinking, mum and Sam made Paige that’s true but I, sorry we are a charmed one, more power, more consequences"
"And"
"After a month, nothing happened, after two months, nothing, Leo was enjoying the pregnancy as much as I was, before we knew it four months had passed, then one day a demon came to the house, nothing unusual, Paige and Phoebe were knocked out straight away, I was knocked to the floor and when Leo saw that he"
"He what?"
"He became enraged, insane, he grabbed a kitchen knife and charged at him, he stabbed him to death, eventually he exploded and Leo was left standing with a knife dripping with blood. The elders had seen this and were extremely concerned by his actions, as was I"
Future Piper walked around the room again as the memories came back to her.
"They summoned him to the elders council and told him that the baby posed too much of a threat to the world of magic, and that they couldn’t allow it. Leo went insane and killed the head of the elders, an act of pure hatred that turned him evil" Piper gasped and covered her mouth in shock.
"Once Leo realized what he had done and how he had changed he killed the rest of the elders then came down to see me"
"What did he say?" Piper asked
"He told me what he had done and told me that we would now be free to use our magic as we liked and that we were safe me and the baby, but as you can imagine I was scared, I knew that, that act of evil would turn him but I knew that I still loved him and I couldn’t harm him"
Piper began to cry, Future Piper came over to her.
"I can’t believe that he did that"
"Believe me, he did, the underworld and the new source were so impressed that the source made him his new right hand man. Leo decided to join him so he knew that we would always be safe from demons, he seemed to have lost all sense of right and wrong, it was like he had just snapped, the more time he spent with the source the more evil he became, Paige and Phoebe were forever snapping at him to come back to the good side, to leave the source, to stay with me and the baby"
"Sounds like them" Piper said with a smile.
"Leo grew tiresome of them, it was so strange, 6 months before we were all a happy family, and now it was like Leo was Cole, evil, pure evil, I couldn’t believe that someone with such a beautiful soul could just throw it all away like that" Piper said as she stood up and looked out of the window.
"He wanted to baby to be born in the underworld and to be blessed by the source. I told him that he was crazy and that there was no way" Future Piper paused.
"And"
"He didn’t like it, he told me that if I joined him and brought our baby up to be evil then he would leave my sisters alone. I knew what I had to do"
"You tried to kill him didn’t you" Piper said as she turned around from the dark window.
"Yes, unsuccessfully, or I wouldn’t have called for you"
Piper was a little unsure of how to ask but she decided she needed to know.
"How did Paige and Phoebe die" Future Piper looked at her and her lip began to tremble.
"Paige was first, when they found out what he wanted to do with the baby, they went mad, they tried all sorts of protection spells and even a binding spell, he ordered Paige to undo them all, when she refused he..he..burned her at the stake"
"He did what" Piper said in shock.
"He said it was a present for the source, all the upper level demons and the source himself came to watch it, they all stood round laughing at her even making jokes, Phoebe and I where trapped in a crystal bubble helpless to save her, all we could do was listen to her screams of agony and watch as her body began to burn"
Piper ran up to herself and hugged the other Piper.
"My god, you have been through it haven’t you, what about Phoebe"
"Phoebe was mad with hatred and revenge, she tried to kill Leo too, she almost succeeded too, but Leo’s new upper level demons friends came to his rescue, I begged him to spare her, but he just laughed, he took her to the source and gave her to him as a present"
"The source called for all his demon witnesses again, he placed her in a small pit and let his hell hounds eat her alive"
Piper held on to her other self tighter.
"You can’t let all this happen again, the only way to stop it is to kill Leo before he kills everyone else and evil rules the world. Will you be able to do that, when the time comes?"
CHAPTER 5
The attic was still full when Piper reappeared.

"Piper where have you been?"
"Are you okay"?
"Who summoned you"?
"Did you go to the past or the future" all these questions came flooding in at once from her family.
"I’m fine honestly," she said after everyone had, had a hug. Leo held onto her so tightly, even though she didn’t mean too she was looking at him in a different light.
"Who was it that summoned you then, come on tell us?" Paige asked the question that everyone was dying to know.
"I can’t tell you, I’m sorry. All I can say was it was in the future" Piper said in her tone that meant ¡®that is all I am going to say’.
"Future, did I still look sexy" Phoebe asked sticking a silly models pose. Piper just smiled.
"I will talk about it later when I am ready" she said a bit harshly than she intended.
The afternoon carried on as usual after the former witches had left. The girls carried on at Piper all afternoon. She was dying to tell them but not until she was alone, without Leo around.
Piper went to bed early that night, she blamed it on the exciting news that they had had but really it was due to the worry over Leo.
The next day started off with the sun shining brightly through the curtains. Leo had opened the window when he had come to bed that night and a gentle breeze was blowing open the curtains ever now and then letting in the sunlight.
When the sun shone onto Leo’s body he seemed to glow, radiate with it. He looked so angelic, how can what is about to happen, happen? She still refused to believe that her husband could be the cold-hearted killer her future self had said. She lay there and watched him sleep. No creases of worry on his forehead, just a small hint of a smile.
"I know your watching me," he said with a huge grin. He opened his eyes and looked at her.
"How long have you know I have been watching you"
"Since you started"
"That’s not a proper answer," she said as he leaned in to kiss her. She kissed him back passionately. All the worry from the day before left her when she was in his arms. It seemed like such a long time ago. They stayed hugging together for a while until familiar chimes could be heard.
"What’s wrong" Piper said when she looked at his worried brow.
"They want to see me now"
"Well don’t you think you should put some trousers on first" Leo looked under the covers and smiled.
"Yeah, they might think it a bit disrespectful if I went in like this" he got out of bed and threw on his cloths.
"I’ll be back soon," he said as he leaned over the bed to kiss her, then he kissed her stomach.
"By son, or daughter" he orbed up to the elders.
Piper was just getting out of bed when he orbed back in.
"That was fast," she said
"They want to see us both, they seem pretty mad" Piper’s heart skipped fast as she realized what was about to happen. No it couldn’t be happening, could it?
"I’ll get dressed, just give me a second"
After 10 minutes Piper was ready and Leo orbed them up to the elders chambers.
The room was brightly white, there looked like white curtains flowing around the outskirts or the round room. There was a small table in front of them with three white chairs and around them were stools for all the other elders, the three senior ones sat at the desk.
The elders all orbed in at the same time and Piper grasped Leo’s hand as she was a bit stunned by the loud chiming noise.
"Welcome Piper of the Charmed ones, you and the white light Leo have been summoned here because we have heard some news that slightly disturbs us"
Piper wondered if they had found out what had happened in the future.
"I wouldn’t call it disturbing" Leo said defiantly. Piper looked across at his angry face. The elders looked at him then looked at each other as if proving a theory that they had been all thinking.
"We have heard that you are with child," he said to Piper.
"I am yes sir," she agreed.
"This is unlike anything this council has seen before, your child will be twice blessed, born from a charmed one, the most powerful witch of all time and an angel, with enough power to make this baby extraordinarily powerful"
Piper looked at Leo confused.
"I don’t understand, what is so wrong with that" Leo asked confused by their worries.
"What’s wrong with that Leo is that if your child were to turn evil then it would have power greater than the sources, power that even we could not stop"
"Excuse me" Piper said raising her hand and waiting to be asked to speak, she didn’t want to provoke them with disrespect. One of the senior elders noticed the gesture and nodded at her.
"What makes you think that our child will turn evil, and if it is such a powerful child then wouldn’t it be a huge advantage in the war against evil, who’s to say that this isn’t my destiny, to bring a twice blessed child into the world for good"
The elders looked at each other, they obviously hadn’t considered that option.
"We will need time to assess this and look at all scenario’s before we make our decision"
"Decision, for what" Leo asked innocently.
"To determine if your child will be born or not" Even though Piper had been prepared for this by her future self, to actually hear the words spoken to her made her feel sick. She leaned over and grabbed Leo’s hand for strength as she felt her knees about to give way. Leo supported her tightly and looked up angrily at the elders.
"WHAT IS THIS, HOW DARE YOU MAKE THAT KIND OF DECISION, IT IS NOT YOUR’S TO MMAKE"
"Leo, please calm down, lets just go home," Piper said holding him back from charging up to the elders.
"You will hear from us soon" Said the elders. Leo orbed them back to the manor.
CHAPTER 6
Piper and Leo orbed home and Leo walked outside to the garden. Piper followed him out.
"I just can’t believe this is happening" Leo said as he looked around the pretty garden.
"I can’t believe that they are willing to kill, no murder an innocent child just because they are worried about how powerful it will be" Piper didn’t know what to say to him, she just stood beside him letting him talk.
"God, I am so angry, I don’t think I have ever been this angry in my life" Piper’s mind flashed to her future self and the comment she made about Leo’s anger increasing.
"We will get through this honey," Piper said as she stroked his arm.
"How come you are so calm, normally you are the emotional one and I am the calm one, I thought that this would have made you insane" Piper couldn’t bring herself to tell him what she had been told in the future.
"All I know is that this child inside me is innocent, and it was made from love, not evil, our love, and there is no way in heaven or hell that I am going to let them take it from us, because if they do then they are betraying everything that the charmed ones stand for, in fact if they do this, there will be no more charmed ones"
Leo looked astonished at her words that she would actually go that far.
"What do you mean"?
"I mean what is the point of fighting to save innocents when they take away a pure innocent life, I know that I wont sue my powers again and I am pretty sure that my sisters will feel the same way"
Leo considered her words then hugged her.
"Hey guys where have you been," Phoebe asked as she came into the garden eating a bowl of cereals.
"I have got to go and see my other charges" he kissed her goodbye then orbed out.
Phoebe looked at her sister as she watched her husbands lights disappear up into the sky.
"Are you alright"?
"No, no I’m not, they elders are deciding weather or not to allow me to continue with this pregnancy"
Phoebe spat out her mouthful of cereal in shock as Piper walked past her and back into the kitchen. It was time to tell them what she had learned in the future.
"Paige" she yelled up the stairs
"Come down please I need to talk to you about something" Piper went back into the kitchen and sat on one of the stools.
Phoebe came running in with milk down her chin.
"I don’t understand, how, what, why would they, when" Piper put her hand up in the air to stop Phoebe’s words. Phoebe couldn’t believe how calm she appeared.
"Hiya, what’s going on?" Paige said as she entered the room.
"I think you two should sit down," Piper said as she led them into the living room.
Piper paced around a bit then stood in front of them, then sat, then stood.
"Piper come on tell us what is going on," Paige said as she was starting to get impatient.
Piper finally sat down and lowered her head.
"Okay, yesterday I was summoned to the future you both know" Piper lifted her head to look at their nodding heads.
"What you don’t know is that I was summoned by myself, my future self told me that the elders decided that they couldn’t let the pregnancy continue because there was
Just too many risks involved and because of their decisions, Leo went insane and killed them all"
Phoebe and Paige looked at each other.
"What, I’m sorry did you just say that our Leo, Leo killed the elders," Phoebe said as she leaned forward onto the chair to look at Piper more closely to make sure she wasn’t joking.
"Every one of them" Phoebe and Paige covered their mouths in shock.
"There is more, once he had killed them all, the new source was so impressed he made Leo his right hand man, and with his new found evilness turned our child evil and "
"And what"
"Because you tried to convert him back, he had you burnt at the stake Paige and you were eaten alive by hellhounds" Silence filled the room as the two sister tried to digest what she had just told them.
"So let me get this straight, Leo our brother in-law and trusted friend will kill the elders and us in the space of" Phoebe said waiting for the answer
"A year"
Piper hung her head down again. Paige couldn’t understand why Piper wasn’t freaked out by this.
"And you seem so calm because" Paige asked
"Because if I think about this for too long my head will explode"
"But you should be pissed" Paige said standing up angrily.
Piper stood up and got in her face.

"Don’t you think that I am angry, hey, this is supposed to be the happiest time of our lives, instead I am told that my family will all be killed by my husband and best friend, my husband that I love with every breathe will turn evil and become best friends with the source, and more than that I wont even have my child because Leo will take her away to be raised with evil, so yeah believe me I am Pissed Paige, I am pissed that I might have to choose over my husband or my child, will I have to kill one to save the other, don’t tell me how I should be feeling because YOU HAVE GOT NO IDEA" Piper began to tremble with anger and then slumped back down into her seat. Phoebe looked at Paige and then they were at Piper’s side in an instant. Piper placed her arms around them both and began to sob.
After a good cry they retired to the sunroom. Piper had her feet up on the small couch as Paige made her a cup of camomile tea to calm her down.
"So what are our options" Phoebe asked as Piper gently sipped her tea.
"Well we can let them take her baby and send Leo insane and evil resulting in us dying or we can bind the baby’s powers so there will be no worries of it turning evil or if all else fails we can just as Leo to clip his wings so he cant kill the elders and turn evil" Phoebe didn’t actually mean the last part but Paige and Piper looked at each other as soon as she said it.
"Wait a minute, you might be on to something there," they both said. Piper placed the cup on the side table and stood up.
"If he clips his wings then he is human right, therefore he can’t turn evil, and he can’t orb to the elders to kill them we would be safe sand you guys would live"
"Honey do you really think that he will do that without a valid reason" Paige said.
"You think I should tell him," Piper asked.
"When does this attack happen that he goes mad and stabs the demon to death"?
"Well my future self said it was about 4 ¨C5 months into the pregnancy"
"Well we have a while them to think of another alternative"
But Piper realized that this was probably the best solution, all she had to do was convince Leo, which meant telling him what he was going to turn into.
CHAPTER 7
Leo came home that night a distant and distracted man, Piper knew that he was trying desperately to think of a way to stop the elders. She just hoped that murder had not entered his head. She looked at his stance as he walked towards her. His shoulders were sagging, his back was bending, his eyes were heavy and dark, he looked like he had been awake for several days.
Piper walked towards him and hugged him, no words between them just the comfort of each other’s touch. Leo pulled away and kissed her gently on the lips. Paige and Phoebe came into the living room.
"Oh sorry, we didn’t mean to intrude" Paige said as they stopped in their tracks.
"It’s okay, dinner is ready, you are all right on time, come and sit down whilst I serve it up okay" she said to Leo as she lead him to the dinning table.
Piper served up the dinner and Phoebe and Paige had tried all dinner to get the conversation in a flowing rhythm but Leo just wasn’t in the mood. Her sisters had been giving her looks all night meaning for her to tell him about the future events.
Phoebe and Paige left the dinner table with some lame excuse. Piper turned her chair so that she was facing Leo, she looked at his plate, he had hardly touched his favourite meal, he had spent most of the time pushing his dinner around his plate.
"Leo" at his name he looked up at her and realized then that her sisters had left.
"We are in this together" she reminded him, he leaned over and took her hand, he gave it a small kiss.
"Let’s enjoy our baby like we are supposed to"
"But what"
"No buts, lets just be a pregnant couple, a happy couple" she took Leo’s hand and placed it on her belly, Leo’s worry lines just seemed to wipe away. Piper could actually see them straightening out before her.
They carried on like this for 3 months; Piper was beginning to show slightly. There had been no word from the elders but Piper knew that there wouldn’t be just yet until the demon had attacked.
They hadn’t brought any baby stuff yet as Piper didn’t want to jinx it.
One sunny afternoon, Piper and her sisters were sitting out in the garden, Paige had insisted on making a small picnic but Piper was suffering from a bit of morning sickness and had not wanted to go out so Paige decided to make it in the back garden.
Leo orbed in and looked at them all with a worried expression.
"Hey Leo, your just in time to eat the dessert, we have had a nice picnic, Leo, what’s wrong" Piper said after she realized he was looking upset.
"Don’t tell me that the elders have made their decision" Paige asked.
"No, no it is not about that, there are rumours, that a new source has just been crowned" Piper looked at her sisters, she knew that if things continued as she had been told then this new source would be Leo’s new best friend and her sisters executioner. Leo saw the look of panic on his wife’s face.
"Honey, like I say it is just rumours at the minute"
"No, its true, I can feel it" Piper added at the end when she realized that he looked at her suspiciously
"Don’t worry honey, I wont let anything happen to you or our child"
"We will be fine Leo" Piper said reassuringly.
When Piper had a quiet moment she spoke to her sisters. She ushered them both up to the attic and closed the door. She began to pace around the room.
"It’s started to happen, the new source is the beginning" Piper said, she stopped and placed her hands on her hips.
"Piper you need to tell him what you know" Phoebe said and Piper realized that it was now the right time. Piper hung her head down and sighed heavily.
Paige and Phoebe hugged her, when they pulled away a demon was standing right beside them all.
"Oh, group hug can I join in" he said as he blasted Paige and Phoebe with an energy ball knocking them flying into the attic walls, they both were unconscious before they hit the floor.
Leo heard the loud bang and ran up the stairs in a panic.
"But your early" Piper said as she backed away from him.
"You were expecting me" he said surprised. Piper tried to freeze him but he gradually worked through it.
"PIPER" Leo screamed as he ran up the stairs to her, the thought of something hurting her made him insane.
The demon heard the approaching man and threw and energy ball at Piper she took it in the shoulder and fell to the floor. She grabbed her shoulder and found that it was bleeding. Leo slammed through the door and saw Piper on the floor with blood on her hand.
"You son of a bitch" he said as he looked around for something to attack him with.
Piper realized that this was it, this was the moment that he began to change, she used up all her strength and tried to blow up the demon, but he was so powerful she only managed to blow off his arm, he screamed out in pain and looked at her.
"Ill be back witch" he shimmered out and Piper lay back down on the floor shattered.
"PIPER" Leo ran to her side and looked at her wound. He began to heal it but she was still tired from using all her powers. He lifted her up into his arms and hugged her fiercely.
"I’m okay Leo, check on my sisters" but the latter where already waking up and beginning to stand.
"My god, when I saw you on the floor with blood on your hand I felt such a surge of anger, I was actually ready to kill him" Paige and Phoebe looked over at her when he spoke those words; she knew that the time had come.
"Leo, I need to talk to you about something, it is very important"
Seeing that her sisters were both okay she lead Leo to their room.
They sat on their bed and Piper took his hand.
"Leo, that day that I was summoned to the future, it was by myself, a year from now" Leo nodded and kept quiet so she could talk.
"My future self told me that" god this was more difficult to tell him this than she realized.
"It’s okay you can tell me honey" he said.

"She told me that the elders voted against us"
"No"
"There is more, in your anger and grief you murdered them all" Leo pulled his hand away and stood up backing away from her.
"What are you talking about"?
"You turned evil Leo, the new source that you told me about, he offered you a job and you took it"
"No, no this can’t be right, no I don’t believe that I could do that"
"When Phoebe and Paige tried to stop you, you. Had them killed" Leo covered his ears.
"Stop it, it is not possible, no I wont believe you, why are you saying such things"
"Because events are happening as my future self told me they would, the only difference is that I managed to stop you killing that demon just now that started it all off"
Leo sank to the floor and Piper stood to go to him but he put his hands up to her.
"No, don’t, keep away"
"Leo?"
"Just give me a minute" Piper backed away from him and let him think.
"Leo she summoned me for a reason, for a chance to stop these things from happening" he looked lost like she had just broken his heart.
"It can’t be" with that he orbed out saying as he left
"I wont let that happen"
"Leo where are you going, LEO"
Leo re-materialised in the elder's chambers
"Leo, this is most unruly, you are not permitted to interrupt an elders meeting" Leo looked up at them all and they realized that something was wrong with him.
"I have heard some news from the future"
"What are you talking about, you haven’t been to the future we would have known" one of the elders said.
"Not me, Piper, she was summoned by herself a year into the future, she was told that you decided to go against us and take away our baby"
"Leo as you know we haven’t made a decision yet"
"But in the future world you did and in revenge for your ruling I, I, killed you all" There was an large collective gasp and then murmurs began around the room. After a few moments one of the elders stood and walked down to stand in front of Leo.
"That is impossible, you can not kill us unless you’re evil," he said as he placed his hand on Leo’s shoulder.
"That’s just the thing, your decision turned me evil" the elder removed his hand.
"So are you telling us this in a hope that we wont go against you"
"No, I am telling you this because I am scared, I am scared of turning into an evil person and killing all the people that I love, Piper said that I became the sources right hand man, and that I killed the charmed ones and because of that evil ruled over good" they looked at him with shock when he said that he killed the charmed ones.
"I will not allow this to happen" The elders looked at each other.
"What do you propose?" said the elder in front of him.
"The only way I can see any way out of this is for you to make me mortal, clip my wings, let us have the baby, strip its powers if you will but let us have the child" The elders looked at each other again and the elder beside him looked at him seriously.
"Wait outside" Leo did as he was told and prayed.
CHAPTER 8
Piper was worried about Leo; she had sat there on the bed and waited for 30 minutes to see if he would return. When he didn’t she found her sisters in the living room and told them what had happened, she sat with them and they
