No, Melinda would be born with witch powers (but not whitelighter powers, because her dad was mortal when she was conceived).
But I agree with you - - Melinda's presence in the family shouldn't have any effect on Chris and Wyatt's bond with one another.

It has been confirmed that the little girl was Melinda Halliwell. I was on IMDB (Before you all start on me) I know it's a site where fans add the info. But as I scrolled down I found a new name. Kathleen Teresa Scott. Simply the name of the actress portraying Melinda. There is pictures of her and even one with future Chris. A parent has added a resume there, you can go check it out. If the parent wouldn't know what role her/his daughter was portraying then who would? So I think it's obvious to everyone who believes that Melinda's not the daughter of Piper that she is! Also the picture of Kathleen and Drew, below it says "both from 'Charmed' as Melinda and Christopher Halliwell, brother and sister"

Also, Chris wasn't as poweful as Wyatt and Billie's Mom wasn't a Witch so I was just saying that since They went from the Sisters being Powerful, Wyatt being really powerful and Chris being "metso-Metso" there is apossibiliy that Melinda could be born purely Human now that there is no power accumulation in the family and in fact it definately did Ebb with the Destruction of the Nexus |

Doesn't Melinda see ghosts and spirits that haven't moved on to the light? Oops, sorry, wrong show.

No, that was Piper's grand-daugther. We're talking about the little girl in this scene:  Hmm that image does not clearly show any of the kids all I can see is Piper and Leo and what looks to be Wyatt since Chris has Piper's darker hair. However despite that I have entered this thread late here is how I see it with my very very limited season eight knowledge. We all know that Piper is seen with a daughter in her future in Morality Bites. But that does not ensure that Piper has to have a daughter at least not since Prue was killed since that future included her. In fact why did Piper not realize that she is pretty smart yet in "Bite Me" she wonders aloud to Paige why she can't seem to get pregnant when she knows she's going to get that daughter because she saw her and heard her and knew she was hers. She should have realized that that future may or may not exist anymore since Prue died. However, there is a strange coincidence. The daughter she saw in Morality Bites was named Malinda after Malinda Warren. And I believe the Granddaughter was addressed as Malinda if I am not mistaken. So perhaps when Prue died and Altered the sister's future, the daughter became the granddaughter instead. |

The great grandaughter was not addressed as anything. Brad Kern said later that her name was Prudence.
And you can clearly see a third kid in that picture. She's facing Piper and Leo, right next to Chris.

And you clearly saw her with her backpack on her back. But she's just a figment of Piper's imagination. Just like the grandkids. Otherwise *their* pictures would've been on that !@#$%^&*()_)(*&^%$#@! wall.
Seriously, I'm going to guess that the reason why we only saw her back is that she was played by one of the same actresses who plays Phoebe's daughters and they didn't want to have to pay more than one actress to play two non-speaking parts. But at the same time, it's what makes people think that that is Wyatt and Chris' cousin, not their sister, when it's just like all of the other "nice little family portraits" we saw at the end with each sister having three kids (BARF!) That's why I think it was supposed to be Piper & Leo's daughter.
Along the same lines, even tho according to Kern the girl's name was Melinda, she would *not* be the same Melinda as the one we saw in "Morality Bites". She might have been *named* after the daughter that Piper lost in that other timeline, but it would NOT have been her.
The Melinda we saw in "Morality Bites" was Piper & Leo's oldest and would've been the same age in 2010 as Wyatt would've. If Prue had lived, Wyatt would not have been a boy, he would've been Melinda, because had Prue lived, the sisters wouldn't have had the motivation to kill the Source and killing the Source would've still been the sisters' destiny--which the evil sisters of Morality Bites wouldn't have done; they were too busy leading big companies, being a mother and doing whatever Phoebe did before she killed Cal Greene. Once Prue died and the new Charmed Ones got rid of the Source they were offered a new destiny, one that was obviously taking care of the Twice Blessed Child, a boy who couldn't control all of his powers the way a girl could, since that's all that the last part of Charmed was about and since that's what was announced to the sisters right after they agreed to continue their destiny--Piper was pregnant. Hence that's the reason why the Cleaners didn't stop the sisters from exposing magic and why Prue had to die.
That, of course, is all my own speculation. But it's the only thing that makes the last four seasons of Charmed make even the *least* bit of sense.

We also saw her face, if only for a microsecond, but we did and she is not an actress I had seen before on the show, certainly none of Phoebe's daughters.

She's facing Piper and Leo, right next to Chris. Yes I did not say it was not clear just that you don't really get to see her, and sorry for the mistake about the grand daughter, I only saw the end scene once. Thats well said, in the future including Prue the girls ignored their Charmed destiny in favor of normal and greedy lives thus how Prue eventually became owner of not one but four Buckland's locations and Piper a mother and Phoebe whatever she was doing before becoming a murderer. That was greatly changed when Prue died because now they wanted keep kicking evil's butt more than ever to avenge Prue especially Piper in HHNF with her demon punching rampage. Then as you said the angel of destiny offered them normal lives which they refused so that changed a lot as well. |

Why would Piper's "daughter"'s (because I don't believe the last five minutes of Charmed, but I'm not going to argue it - all a matter of personal opinion) name be Melinda? Why isn't it Prudence and Melinda as her middle name?

Why isn't it Prudence and Melinda as her middle name? It was only Malinda in the future that included Prue. In The Day the Magic Died when everyone is trying to name newborn Wyatt Piper makes a comment along the lines of "I don't think we can name him Prudence". So after Prue died Malinda was switched in favor of Prudence but then it seems was switched back because I guess the granddaughter became Prudence instead according to MarAcev. |

It's sad that the sisters' only reason for continuing to hunt demons was to avenge Prue's death. That's very sad.

In the future we see in Morality Bites the sisters are greedy, and self centered. If you remember the end of the episodes they find out that Future Phoebe's burning at the stake all started back in the present when the girls used their powers to get revenge on an annoying neighbor who was always letting his dog poop on their lawn. That one event had a butterfly effect, leading to future abuse of their powers and thus Phoebe killing Baseball player Cal Greene in revenge. So once they changed that event, they no longer become greedy and self centered. |

The fact remains that Melinda is still the daughter of Piper, who's a Charmed One. So there's no reason to believe Melinda didn't at least inherit witch powers from Piper's side of the family.
It's very unlikely that Melinda was just a "carrier" (like Billie's parents).

Yeah unless the sisters relinquished their powers which they could have done since I have very very limited knowledge of season eight, then there is no way Malinda could not inherit powers from Piper. Even if they did though, magic is in their blood literally as we see in Astral Monkey |

As of the series finale, "Forever Charmed," the Charmed Ones still had their powers.
In fact, in a flashforward, we see Paige using her powers to fight Evil while protecting a future charge.
Since Melinda was born shortly after Chris (based on the ages of the children in the "Forever Charmed" flashforward), I don't see how anyone could draw the conclusion that the Charmed Ones relinquished their powers.
