When Leo came out of the shower, Amara was already snuggled in bed. Leo joined her and he and her had a most passionate night of their life.
Morning came at the crack of dawn. Amara pulled back the curtains and woke Leo up. “Leo get up.” Amara said. Leo twisted and turned like he normally did. Amara looked up from Leo. There in front of her stood two ghosts. Ghosts? Amara thought. “Leo there’s a ghost. Or two. Two ghosts. Leo!” Leo got up and looked up at. “They had a knife in their hands. Before I could freeze them, they vanished.” Amara said. “Leo did you ever serve in a war?” Amara asked. “Yeah. Uh 60 years ago.” He replied. “Do you have any pictures?” Amara asked. “Honey do we have to get them out?” he said “Leo they had army clothes on. They are bound to be from your past.” Amara tried to describe. Leo got up and went to the other room. He came back a couple of minutes later and gave Amara the box, in which all his war possessions were kept. “Prue insisted on keeping them,” he said. “Good thing she did” Amara replied. She opened the box and took out a bunch of photos. She went on flicking one after another until she stopped dead in her tracks. “Theses two.” Amara whispered. “Nathan and Rick ?” Leo asked “Oh no” he said. He took her hand and led her into the kitchen. “Nathan, Rick and me were best friends,” Leo started. “we grew up together, went to school together. When the war came we asked to stay together in one unit and it was granted,” Leo made his way to the living room. Amara followed him. “We were running out of doctors. Rick brought Nathan to me when Nathan got injured really badly. I tried to heal him by giving him all kind of medicine but I had to leave him with another doctor in the hut because there was no one out at front. Rick begged me to stay, but I didn’t. the minute I stepped 100 yards away from the hut, the hut got attacked. Everyone in that hut died.” Leo finished. “Rick and Nathan are here ‘cos of me Amara” “Leo, you did all you could. If you had gone back into that hut, you would have died. Not that you didn’t later but you know what I mean.” Amara soothed him. She could see that Leo had been crying. So she went up to him, wiped off his tears and gave a passionate kiss. She felt Leo calming down. But his eyes were still red. “Coffee?” Amara asked. Leo nodded. They had their coffee. Amara nearly spat hers out when she saw the two ghosts again. “Leo!!” Amara screamed. Leo looked up to see two knifes in mid air being thrown in his direction. Amara froze time just in time. She moved over to Leo and shifted him to a new position. The freezing wore off quicker than she expected. The two knifes hit Leo in the stomach and he screamed out in pain. Lucky for being a Whitelighter, Leo healed really fast. The ghosts’ disappeared. Amara ran to Leo’s side but fortunately he had healed. “Maria’s in trouble” Leo said. Maria was his charge. “Go!” Amara said. Leo orbed out. Amara was left alone in the house. She had a cup of coffee and made her way to work.
The Source watched as Amara barged past her colleagues. “Master, Sate Pro failed us.” Oracle said. The Source’s face looked horrible in anger. “No worries. The next assassin will kill the little white witch and her Whitelighter wont be able to do nothing to save her.”<br>“Who?” Oracle asked “the one and only…. Nathan and Rick. It’s been done without our word.”<br> “So the witch is his wife.” Nathan said. “yeah but first we have to take care of Leo’s charge Maria first.” Rick said. They shimmered away and landed in Maria’s apartment. Maria turned and gasped. Rick was holding a knife. He stuck it into Maria’s chest. Leo orbed in just as that happened. He tried to run to Maria but Rick and Nathan held him back until they saw Maria’s soul leave the body. They let go of Leo and Leo crawled quickly to heal Maria. But he was too late. Rick and Nathan shimmered.
“Leo!” Amara bellowed. When Amara had returned home from work in the evening, Leo still hadn’t returned. “Leo!”<br>“no answer?” Prue asked “Nope. I even tried to orb to him but its like a force field blocking me” Amara said. “Paige you try” Paige sensed up Leo and opened her eyes. “ I think he’s in trouble”<br>“Go scatter. Go and see him” Amara instructed. Paige orbed into Maria’s apartment, seeing Leo laying next to her, crying. “Leo.” Paige whispered. “I could’ve helped Maria. I could have saved her.” Leo sobbed. “Leo they’re trying to get even with you” Paige tried to explain. “I know that!” Leo shouted. “But it cost me my charge!”<br>“Ok enough come on lets go home” Paige said. “No! I haven’t got any powers and I don’t want to go home!” Leo shouted. “Amara needs you. She’s got good news for you” Paige insisted “I don’t care!” Leo screamed. “You need us! Your defenceless without your powers just like Amara is incomplete without you. Right you know what. You stay here I’ll be back with Amara. Just, just stay here!” Paige orbed out. “Defenceless.” Rick said as he and Nathan watched Paige orb away. “I don’t know Rick. I’m having second thoughts” Nathan said “After all this, you’re having second thoughts?” Rick asked as if he hadn’t understood. “ I want him to suffer more! I want him to suffer the loss of his wife” Nathan said Rick smiled. “So it shall be done.”<br>They shimmered into the Wyatt Manor.
Amara was in the attic making a potion to try and get rid of the ghosts. Rick and Nathan shimmered in unnoticeably. Nathan had an athame in his hand. Sensing something wrong, Amara turned around and saw Rick and Nathan charging at her. She tried to use here powers but fear paralysed them. Nathan dug the athame into Amara’s stomach as she tried to call on for Leo. “No no Mrs. Wyatt. No need to call your husband.” Rick said as he blocked Amara’s mouth with his hand to stop her from calling Leo and stop her breathing. Amara choked and choked and suddenly she died. They heard rapid footsteps and Nathan and Rick shimmered. “Amara!” Phoebe gasped. “I’ll go and get Leo” Paige said “Hurry!” Prue insisted.
Paige orbed into the Maria’s apartment where Leo was still crying. “Leo lets go!” Paige insisted. “No!” Leo replied “Leo… Amara’s dead!” Paige said “What?” Leo couldn’t believe his ears. “Come on!” Paige said. “ I cant heal her. The Elders have taken my powers” Leo replied Paige still orbed him into the Manor’s attic. When they reached the attic, Leo saw Amara on the sofa, bleeding. Leo ran over and tried to heal her as her soul left the body and joined the girls over at the Book of Shadows. Leo felt the healing heat return to him as he tried to heal Amara. The girls saw Amara’s soul return to her body. Suddenly Amara came back to life, gasping for breath. Leo hugged her and she hugged him back. “That was close.” Amara said. “Too close”<br>

“So what happened to the ghosts?” Paige asked “Well Leo spoke to them and everything’s cool” Piper informed. Everyone was sitting on the sofas in the living room. The girls with their husbands and Leo and Amara together. “So what’s the news that Paige was telling me about?” Leo asked “Did she not tell you?” Amara asked “Nope”<br>“Honey……me and Piper are pregnant.” Amara announced. Leo couldn’t believe his ears! “No way! Really? How many months?” he asked “Five months both of us.” Amara replied. Leo kissed Amara.
A month later. “Leo!” Amara shouted “What?” Leo orbed in. “Where have you been? I’ve been calling you for the past hour!” Amara moaned “Amara I was with my charges” Leo explained. “Well you seem to be with you charges more than us” Amara spat back. Paige saw a blue arrow pointing out of Amara’s back and a pink one pointing out of Leo’s “Ere... Guys” Paige said “Not now Paige.” Leo said “But guys!” Paige insisted. “WHAT!” Leo and Amara said together. Just as they finished they were pulled back by a strong force. “What the hell?” Amara said. “Who the hell?” Paige said when they saw a demon. “Freeze it!” Leo said Amara pulled out her hands to freeze but instead she orbed! “Amara!” Leo said “What!” Amara spat back. “Leo I’m getting voices in my head” Amara said, hitting her head with her hands Leo tried to orb but instead froze the running water that Piper was using. “Guys this isn’t good” Phoebe said. “What’s going on?” Amara asked Leo shrugged. “I’m gonna be sick.” He ran to the bathroom. “The Book says that when a witch is pregnant with a Whitelighter’s child and they argue, the child switches the powers of the parents to make each parent realise the other parent’s pressure.” Piper said. “So I have to do Leo’s job while he’s…” Amara tried not to laugh. “Pregnant with our child?”<br>“Yep” Prue giggled “Amara it’s not funny!” Leo moaned “Hey, its you who’s pregnant!” Amara teased. “Gotta go!” Amara said as she closed her eyes to orb. “But…” Leo began. “Come on you can help me write a spell sis” Phoebe teased Leo. “Ha ha very funny” Leo said annoyed.
Amara orbed into a strange place. There was a lady shouting things in French. Amara realised she understood French. I didn’t even study French, Amara wondered Amara started to speak French to this charge and saved her just in time. She orbed back home to find Leo clutching his stomach. “What’s wrong honey?” she asked. Leo nodded. She went over and was about to kiss him when another charge called her. Frustrated she left without giving Leo a kiss. This business of leaving called out carried on all day. Amara didn’t get to spend a single hour with Leo without being called out. Later in the afternoon, Amara had so many voices in her head she gave a loud scream. “Amara what’s wrong?” Leo asked. “Too many voices!” Amara screamed. “Amara calm down. Just do what I do. When I get too many people calling me, I just think of you and our future baby.” He rubbed Amara’s tummy, realising it was actually his tummy he was suppose to rub. “Er... guys?” Paige said “Not now Paige” Leo said Out of the blue they were both thrown across the room when their powers switched. “All I was going to say was you guys might wanna get a cover!” she said.
Three and half months on. “Leo you’re going to be late!” Amara said to Leo. He has this problem of not getting up! “Why do you get time off!” Leo scowled. “Because I’m on my last few weeks of having your child!” Amara answered. The phone rang. “Wyatt residence” Amara said “Hi Amara its mum.” The voice said. “Oh hello. How are you?”<br>“I’m fine. How’s your pregnancy going?” Mum asked “Just fine. I’m on my last couple of weeks.” Amara answered “So when are you coming over?” mum asked “Not any time soon. Once I’ve have this child, then about a month or two later.” Amara replied “What? I thought you were having your child here?” mum sounded shocked “What made you think that?” Amara asked “I assumed.” Mum replied “No mum me and Leo have decided to have the child here.” Amara replied. “I’ll call back” mum said and hung up “That wasn’t good” Amara said “What happened?” Leo asked “Mum assumed that I was going to give birth in England.” Amara said “oh” Leo said “But I’m not. Too much paperwork! Its easier here. I want my child born here.” Amara assured Leo. She kissed him and told him to get ready for work . She went downstairs and prepared his and her breakfast, and a fresh pot of coffee. Leo came down and kissed Amara. “Good morning.” He said. I love him, Amara said to herself Leo had his coffee and left for work. Amara sat down in the conservatory with a big book of fairy tail stories. “Okay darling, its time for a story” Amara said rubbing her hand across her stomach. She read herself a story. Suddenly Amara got a sharp pain in her womb. It was so unbearable that she called out to Leo.

“Amara!” Leo’s face crunched, as he dropped his files on the floor of his office. He automatically orbed out. Pregnant or not, Leo could always feel Amara’s pain. But being pregnant made her a special case because when he felt her pain, he also felt the baby’s pain.
“Leo!” Amara shouted at the top of her voice. Leo instantly orbed in, to find Amara on the floor of the conservatory clutching her stomach. “Amara hold on,” he orbed her onto the heavens. A few hours later Amara gave birth to a boy. Leo orbed her back to the Manor where Paige, Shane and Prue were waiting for her eagerly. Piper was in San Francisco hospital in the middle of giving birth. Jeremy, Cole, Andy and Phoebe were there with her. Leo orbed in and everyone grabbed onto Amara, and the baby. Leo helped Amara to the couch and everyone else cooed over the baby boy. “Amara you get to name this one” Leo said. “Naison” Amara replied. “Ohh Baby Naison!” Prue cooed “Shall I ring your mum?” Shane asked Amara. “Yeah will you” Amara said A few seconds later, Amara was connected to her mum. “Mum! You’re a granny! Beta hoa hai” Amara said. Amara put the phone away from her ears as she heard screaming on the phone or cheers. Leo smiled when he heard the loud roar. “So when are you coming over?” mum asked “Sometime next week” Amara said. “OK. Bye” mum hung up the phone. “At least Gran’s happy” Amara said with a relief. “Puts me off the hook. If I ended up having a girl, gran wouldn’t have been happy” Amara said. Leo kissed Amara softly. Prue gave Naison to Amara and Leo. The phone rang. “Wyatt residence” Leo said “Leo, its Cole. Piper’s had a son! What about you?” Cole asked “A son! Great!” Leo said and hung up. “Piper’s had a son too” Leo informed everyone. “She’ll be home soon. She’s named him Alex”<br> The next day the Wyatt Manor was full of friends visiting Amara and Piper and their babies. The whole day was taken up into their affair. Days turned into weeks, weeks into months. Amara decided to go back to England to show her face again. Leo, Naison and Amara orbed to Amara’s front door in England. They rang the doorbell and Yaya opened the door and hugged Amara. Leo was holding Naison in his arms. The family welcomed Leo and Amara. They stayed for a while and by that time people started coming to congratulate them. Yaya had called Amara’s closest friends who were VIPs at her wedding. Lucy, Kirsty, Rachel, Zo, Mo, Mo, Canadian. They all came with teddies and bouquets of flowers. All the men sat in the front room while the ladies in the living room. Everyone was head over heels with baby Naison, and no one would stop congratulating Amara and Leo. “When are you going back to America?” one of Amara’s aunts asked. “Hopefully tonight.” Amara answered. She signalled Adam to get Leo’s attention. She left Naison with one of her aunts and went outside in the lobby where Leo was waiting for her. He kissed her when she came out. “When do we leave?” He asked. “ASAP” Amara urged. “Have you talked to anyone in there?” “Sam, Chris, the two Mos, Neil and most of the other. Spiky, Biggy etc. so nearly everyone.” Leo replied. “Right. They’re all over Naison. Do you want to take him to where he will belong?” Amara asked “Can I? They want to see him,” Leo asked. “Sure let me get him,” Amara said She took the baby politely from her aunt and handed it to Leo. “Wait!” someone shouted from the back. Leo and Amara turned to see most of the younger girls holding their cameras. “We want a photo of you three,” they said. Weird, Amara thought. She, Leo and Naison posed, with Leo holding Naison and Amara on his side. They look the perfect couple, Yaya thought. Soon everyone was taking pictures of the couple and Amara felt her eyes go flashy even when the flash didn’t go on. An hour later, Amara and Leo said their goodbyes and drove back to their house in Ashton. When they got home, they locked up the house, grabbed their suitcases and orbed back to America.
They returned home and immediately placed Naison into his cot. Naison was already asleep so Leo and Amara thought of having an early night.
The next morning, Amara had a list of 50 interviewers. “So you’re telling me I have to interview all 50 of these people?” Amara asked Leanne 5th floor’s secretary. “Yep” Leanne replied. “Ok. Send them in one by one” Amara instructed. “Orlando Bloom” Amara said. A guy, brown short hair, and hazel eyes got up and followed Amara into her office. Amara took half an hour interviewing him and asked him to sign a form. “I’ll be in touch between tonight and tomorrow. Good luck” she stood up shaking his hand. Orlando left the office. Amara put his file in the outgoing mail tray. She left the office again to get the next candidate. “Susana Yanks” she said. A Chinese faced girl with long black wavy hair stood up and followed Amara into her office. Amara went through the same interviewing script and asked Susana to sign a form. “I’ll be in touch between tonight and tomorrow. Good luck” she stood up shaking her hand. She put Susana’s file in the outgoing mail with Orlando’s. She carried on doing the interviews up until lunch. At lunch she went to Leo’s office and decided to meet up with Piper to the nursery where Alex and Naison were. They went to see their kids and Leo and Amara were back in their office for 1.30pm. Leo took out his diary and looked at the afternoon plan. He had a seven people coming in for work experience. “Leanne please come into my office” Leo said on the intercom. A couple of seconds later Leanne joined Leo in his office. “Leanne you know I don’t do interviews on work experience. So why have I got seven people booked with me? I do interviews but not where work experience is concerned.” Leo asked “H said to get them booked with you because Amara’s busy with other interviews and the timing isn’t suiting her.” Leanne replied. “Oh ok.” Leo was frustrated. “Are they here?” “One of them is” Leanne replied. “Send them in” Leo replied. Leo was so busy that when 5pm struck on the clock he didn’t even realise it. On the other side of the building, Amara was getting more cramped into the interviews. It was 5.30. Time to go home for everyone except her. The last interviewee was Christian Gorman. Why does that name sound familiar? Amara thought to herself. “Christian Gorman” Amara said without looking up from her sheet. She led Christian into her office still not looking up from her sheet. She asked him to be seated and finally looked up from her sheet. “Christian!” she exclaimed. “Yep” Christian replied, equally happy. She hugged him and then got on with the interview. She asked him to sign the form, which everyone else had signed. She put his file into to the outgoing mail alongside with everybody else’s. “No wonder I didn’t see you yesterday at my house.” Amara said “Your house? Was everyone there? Mo, Canadian and the girls?” he asked “Yeah” Amara said “Why?” he asked “I had a baby boy,” Amara replied. “A son? You and Leo?” He asked “Who else?” Amara said sarcastically “Congratulations!” Christian said hugging Amara. “I’ll be off.” Christian left. Amara was left in her office on her own. There was a knock on her door. “Yeah yeah come in.” Amara said without thinking. It was Leo. Amara got up and hugged her husband. He had left his suit jacket in his office and had his sleeves rolled up to his elbows and tie loose around the collar. She kissed him. “Honey you look tired.” Amara said. “I’m shattered. I’ve had to do your interviews,” he said eyeing her jokingly. “My interviews? Leo I just had my last one” Amara replied. “Your work experience ones. You weren’t told ‘cos they gave them to me cos you were busy with the 50 odd you had for the secretary/assistant post.” Leo replied kindly.

“I’m sorry honey. I know you don’t do them. We better head home. Paige said she’ll pick Naison and Alex up ‘cos Piper said she was going to be late coming back and Jeremy is out of town. And I said that I was going to be late as it was.” Amara said. “I rang Paige to say that I was going to be late. Looks like we’re both in the same boat” he grabbed Amara and kissed her. “Now now. Lets go home. There’ll be plenty of time for that.” Amara teased. Amara grabbed her suit jacket, her files that she had to sign and left the building with Leo. An hour later, they both reached home to find Paige and Prue playing with Alex and Naison. Amara saw Naison crawling around with his rattle and he was about to throw it into the fire. “Rattle!” Amara orbed the rattle into her hands. She went over to Naison and picked him up. “Now that’s wrong,” she said to Naison. She started to speak to Naison in her own language. Shane took Naison and Leo and Amara went upstairs to change They came back downstairs and Amara went straight into the kitchen. “Dinner’s already ready” Paige yelled from the living room “You are a life saver!” Amara replied. Amara and Leo ate what Paige had made- chicken breast. Soon everyone had left and only Leo, Amara and Naison were left in the house. “Come on babe. Lets go upstairs. Its time for daddy to give baby a story and then to bed.” Amara said to Naison. “Lets go big boy” Leo said to Naison as he carried him upstairs Leo took Naison into the nursery and read him a book. He noticed that by the time he has reached the third page, Naison is already asleep. “You just did me a big favour mate,” he said to Naison as he kissed his forehead and tucked him in. “That was a quick story,” Amara said when Leo entered the bedroom. “Poor guy was too tired” Leo said. “Is my poor baby tired?” she teased. “Too damn right” Leo teased back. He orbed into his night suit and got into bed with Amara. “They’re calling,” Leo said as soon as his head hit the pillow. “Go” Amara, said annoyed. You know what? Enough is enough, Amara thought when Leo orbed out. All I see every time we have time for each other is he orbs out.
Amara woke up the next morning to see Leo wasn’t on her side. “Leo!” she yelled. Leo didn’t orb like he use to when Amara normally called. “Paige!” Amara yelled. “What’s wrong?” she asked “Leo is wrong,” Amara answered. “I’ve been calling him for god knows how long and he’s not answered.”<br>“Maybe he’s really busy” Paige answered “Busy that he left last night after putting Naison to bed and leaving me?” Amara questioned. “He’s been gone all night?” Paige asked. Amara nodded. “Jeez. I don’t know. I’ll see what I can do,” Paige said as she orbed. Amara made her way to the nursery and picked up Naison. “Okay babe, lets have breakfast.” She said Just as she picked up the stick of French bread and nearly tossed it behind her, Leo orbed in. “Whoa! Watch it.” Leo said ducking Amara ignored him. “Babe do you want some mushy banana?” she asked Naison. “Or some coffee?”<br>“Honey what’s wrong?” Leo asked “Nothing’s wrong. I’m fine, Naison’s fine. You seem fine so what’s meant to be wrong with me?” she spat back. “Except of course I spent the whole night with my baby, not knowing where the hell my husband was! Except for that, everything’s fine.”<br>“Honey, it couldn’t have been helped.” Leo tried to explain. “Whatever Leo. I don’t want an explanation” Amara replied. She fed Naison and then took him to the playpen and then spun on her heels. “Where are you going?” Leo asked “Why do you care?” Amara asked. “Amara…” Leo started “Save it Leo.”<br>She made her way upstairs and got changed for work. When she got to her office she felt like throwing all her stuff from her desk to the floor. “If you thought a child could affect us, why didn’t you tell me?” she spoke to herself as if she was speaking to Leo. She had dropped off Naison at nursery with Alex and then made her way to the office. “Ma’am your husband is on the phone” Leanne said through the intercom. “Tell him I haven’t reached the office.” Amara replied. “He already knows you’re here ma’am.” Leanne replied. “Put him through” Amara replied “Yes Ma’am.”<br>“Hello?” Amara said “Honey, please don’t hang up” Leo started “Leo if you’re going to try and explain where you were all night then please don’t waste your energy” Amara said “I’m sorry” Leo answered. “Leo I don’t mind if you stay off all night. Its the matter that you left no sign of where you were. Being,” Amara thought of the right word and then whispered. “a witch its hard not thinking that you’re in trouble.”<br>“I know. It’s just hard to cope with everything, being a Whitelighter to the Charmed Ones , a husband and now a father. Its hard to juggle.” Leo tried to explain. “Leo! I’m a CSI, a full time mother, a full time witch, a wife and a Whitelighter! How do you think I juggle?” Amara spat back. There was a silence. “If you felt before hand that you couldn’t cope with being a husband and a father, why didn’t you just tell me?” Amara asked. “We went through so much! You risked your Whitelighter job and I risked losing my family. You asked me for a family, I gave you a son! What else could you ask for? I give you everything a typical wife gives; a child, meal on the table, a passionate night whenever I can!” Amara yelled, yet trying to keep her voice calm. Leo just listened. “Leo I’ll see you at home” Amara hung up. Oh God, Amara muttered. “Leanne connect me to Paige Matthews please at South Bay Social services” Amara spoke in the intercom. “Ma’am Miss Matthews.” Leanne said a couple of minutes later. “Hey Paige. How’s everything?” Amara asked. “My day just got better ‘cos you called. I tracked Leo down at the Manor.” Paige instantly said. “Yeah, I was feeding Naison when he orbed in” Amara replied. “ Amara from your tone, it seems like you two had a fight” Paige said politely. “I was on the phone to him before I called you” Amara said. “well?” Paige asked “Basically to put it simple words, Leo feels that he cant juggle his responsibilities where on the other hand I have.” Amara replied gently. “I think this calls for a our little family powwow.” Paige said. “What time do you get home?”<br>“I’m thinking of getting Naison and Alex and heading home now. Not much to do here. All I have to do is announce who got the jobs for the personal secretary and CSI assistant and show them round. After that I could really do with a de-café.” Amara said. “Herbal tea. You know what Leo said. For you to avoid miscarriages in the future, herbal tea no coffee!” Paige insisted. They care so much, Amara thought. “Yes mum” Amara replied. “See you at home. I’ll be home for 4.30. Ciao” Paige hung up the phone. “Ma’am sorry to disturb you but your clients for your 11 o’clock meeting are all here.” Leanne spoke through the intercom. “Please direct them to Conference room A45. I will be there in a snap” Amara replied Soon she joined her clients in the meeting. “Thank you very much for coming. Its easier if I say this once to everyone instead of calling you individually. Firstly, I’d like to start of by saying that the two candidates chosen from all 50 of you present, have been chosen via qualification and or experience. No personal views have been put forward for the chosen candidates and the decision has been verified by Mr. Leo Wyatt, head of secretarial faculty and Mr. Horacio Caine head of department. The candidate chosen for Personal Secretary post is Orlando Bloom. Congratulations. The candidate chosen for CSI assistant is Christian Gorman.” There was a kind applause.

“Those candidate who didn’t manage to pass, your applications will be kept for future reference, should we have a post which is suitable to you. That is all. You may leave as and when you wish. The successful candidates please remain seated.” Amara finished off. Everyone left. “Right congratulations on passing. Believe you me that was one hell of a decision-making. Firstly I shall introduce you to your employer. Mr. Gorman for you it will be me overall. Mr. Bloom for you it will be Mr. Leo Wyatt and then me. Unfortunately Mr. Wyatt isn’t in the office today so you shall have to cope with me!” Amara joked. She explained the rules and regulations of the company and showed around the necessary buildings. She introduced the necessary people to both of them and then showed them their office. They were sharing the office, which once belonged to Leanne. Leanne was given a brand new office when she got a promotion of becoming the CSIs secretary. “Any questions?” Amara asked. “What is clothing code?” Orlando asked “For both of you, smart suits of any colour. Like the ones you saw in the offices. Unless you are told of anything practical.. But for that you will given a 24-hour notice. Starting time is 9am every morning till 5.30. You will usually do three lots of late shifts and three lots of early morning shifts. This will usually apply to Mr. Gorman but it could apply to you Mr. Bloom if we ever consider on upgrading your contract.” Amara answered. “Any other?” she asked They both nodded. “Well I have to ask for security reasons, do you both have a place to stay in the states?” Amara asked “Yes” they both answered. “Method of transport?” “Car” they both answered again. “Great. Any problems call me in the office and follow the menu that is given to you when you call. Apart from that, I will see you both tomorrow morning at 9.” she shook their hands and the departed. She made her way to her office and told Leanne to cancel all her afternoon appointments. She grabbed her briefcase and jacket and headed for her car. Her work mobile rang. “CSI Wyatt” she answered automatically. “Amara where are you?” It was H. “I’m on my way to pick Naison up. I’ve taken the relevant files with me so I’ll be working from home.” Amara answered. “No problem.” H replied. Amara hung up and started her engine. She went straight to the nursery and collected Naison and Alex. She took them to the Manor and called Piper to tell her that Alex was with her at the Manor. She placed the kids in the playpen and went upstairs to get changed. She opened her bedroom door and entered her bedroom to find a big bouquet of red roses on her bed with a note attached: Amara I’m sorry for what happened. I don’t regret marrying you, I don’t regret being a father to the lovely son that you borne me. I love you!
Amara got tears in her eyes. “I hate it when you do that” she sobbed, looking towards the heavens. She went downstairs and placed the flowers in a vase and placed them in the Foyer. She fixed something for the kids, fed them and had a mug of herbal tea. Soon Naison and Alex started crying. “Oh come on. Nap time.” She orbed them both into the nursery upstairs and put them to sleep. Just as she entered her bedroom, Leo orbed in. Amara lifted her hands and froze Leo half way through his orb. When Amara realised that it was Leo she had just frozen, she felt naughty and giggled to herself. She flicked her right hand and unfroze Leo. “Hate it when you do that” Leo moaned. “sorry. Forced of habit” Amara replied innocently and gave Leo a passionate kiss. “ I take it you forgave me.” Leo said “ Well if you start sending me flowers then I’m not given much choice am I?” Amara replied. “How come you’re home early?” Leo asked. “Work was crap and with that argue with you I felt like giving up on everything.” Amara answered. “But you never do, do you?” Leo asked “ No,” Amara sighed. “Well its just you and me home.” Leo started. “Actually the kids are asleep in the nursery” Amara smiled. “The kids?” Leo asked “Naison and Alex” Amara replied. “Right.” Leo blushed. “How come you’re not at work?” Amara asked. “I have today off.” He informed. “Oh yeah. Thursday for you, Wednesday for me.” Amara remembered. “hello? Anyone home?” someone from downstairs said. Amara and Leo ran downstairs and saw Paige, Prue and Phoebe in the foyer. “Hiya.” Amara greeted holding Leo’s hand. “That’s not what it looked like this morning.” Paige said to Amara. “We sorted it. Don’t ask how. I don’t even know if it is sorted. Is it sorted?” she looked at Leo. “No. I’ll never be called at an appropriate hour. It may be at night like last night, anytime for a whole day or night.” Leo explained. “Okay but you’re not breaking up right?” Prue asked. “Not for a long while,” Leo said as he kissed Amara.
The next day, Leo and the rest of the boys were decorating the Manor. It was Naison’s first birthday party. Leo and Cole kept on levitating to put the decoration like balloons. “Aren’t we excited!” Amara played with Naison. The doorbell rang. “Show time!” Amara said as she picked Naison up. “Hi Naison!!” the little kids chirped. They placed their presents on the table near to where Leo was. One of the kids accidentally toppled over the jelly from the counter as he went for a drink. Amara quickly froze the scene before the jelly hit the floor. “You really don’t know how long it took me to make that do you!” Amara spoke to the frozen child. Soon when everyone had arrived, they cut the cake and slowly the guests started to make their way out. “Here you go. Thanks for coming.” Amara said giving the kids a goodie bag as they made their way out. “Thanks for inviting us, it was a fun party. I still can't believe that Mr. Wyatt is one already.” One of eth women said. “Oh, I know, you can't.” Amara thought “Nice to finally meet you, Leo.” A man said. “Yeah, you too.” Leo replied shaking his hand. “ You know, Frank and some of the other dads get the kids together on Saturdays if you're interested.” The woman said. “Uh, yeah. Thanks.” Leo said unsurely “ Excellent.” Frank said “Bye.” The woman said “I'll call you.” Frank said “Okay, great.” Leo replied. They all left and Amara shut the door while Leo held Naison. “Did you like it?” Leo spoke to Naison “Did you enjoy it?”<br>“He was a really good boy today. Only made mummy freeze the room once” Amara replied.
Time went on. Months turned into years. Naison and Alex grew up together into strong boys. They were now eight years old. They had spent jolly eight years together. “Phone” Naison said. “Leo can you get that?” Amara said. “Mum, dad’s upstairs.” Naison said relating to the Elders. “Ohh!” Amara felt frustrated. “Wyatt residence” she said as she picked up the phone. “You’re all going to die” a creepy voice said on the other line. Then it was a dead tone. Amara looked at the phone. There was green ooze coming from it. “Naison get a vial quick.” Amara instructed. She collected the ooze in a vial. “Leo!” she yelled looking at the heavens Leo instantly orbed. She showed him the vial. “Green ooze.. that’s what the Elders called me about. You need to gather the girls. ASAP. I’ll explain once” Leo instructed. Within half an hour, the Charmed Ones were seated in the living room, while the kids were in Naison’s room. “So that’s it. The Charmed Ones need to move in under one roof. The demon is an unregistered demon in the Elders book.” Leo explained. “ This demon can attack anytime and you have no survival chance except for the Power of Five. You can’t even save yourself or others by using just your individual power even to buy some time. Especially not the freezing power. It will give you just enough seconds to breathe” he said eyeing Amara and Piper. “Now the choice has been left on to you by the Elders. Separate or together” Leo finished. Everyone eyed Amara. “What?” Amara asked. “Well what do we do?” Prue asked. “Stay of course! It’ll be great. The kids and us all together in one roof” Amara exclaimed. “Amara don’t get my hopes up. We cant just stay in this Manor. Its yours and Leo’s place.” Phoebe said. “Well do you see me or Leo have a problem with that?”<br>“I say when do we move?!” Paige jumped up excitingly.

Within the end of the week the Charmed Ones and their husbands had moved in with Amara and Leo. Alex and Naison shared Naison’s room. Piper and Jeremy got the room across Amara and Leo. Phoebe and Cole got the room next to Prue and Andy on the second floor and Paige and Shane got the room next to the kids. “You do realise that we’re gonna have a shower problem and a bathroom problem everyday” Naison said. “Well altogether we have..” Amara started to count on her fingers. “Seven bathrooms. One in each room, one on the ground floor and one in the basement.”<br> “Mum!” Naison screamed. “What!” Amara came rushing. “What’s wrong with me?” Naison wailed as he glowed from light yellow to dark orange. “Leo!” Amara yelled. Leo orbed in instantly. “What’s wrong?” he asked Amara pointed at Naison. Leo smiled. “He’s getting his powers.” Leo explained Amara smiled. “No way! Not now!” Naison was thirteen years old, first year of his teenage life. “Why not?” Leo asked. “’Cos.” Naison had no answer. “Yeah! Powers!” he suddenly said. “You see, your son has this thing for fooling people.” Amara said to Leo. “Right lets go.” Leo was about to orb out with Naison when Amara stopped them. “Go where?” Amara asked. “Elders.” Leo answered and orbed out of the Manor.
“Have you told him?” Piper asked “No. I couldn’t. Naison received his powers today so Leo was really excited and took him to Elders.” Amara answered. The Charmed Ones were sitting in the conservatory with Alex who was reading a magazine. “You have to tell him soon. You’re on your last month and I’m surprised he hasn’t noticed.” Paige insisted. “Yeah I know but you know what I’ve noticed? I’ve noticed Leo’s been working too many late nights. And when I call in his office, his secretary always picks up. On the night shifts anyway.” Amara sounded worried. “Don’t worry sweetie.” Prue said gently. “You two have been married for thirteen years now. Leo wouldn’t cheat on you,” Amara thought she was worrying for the wrong reasons. It was like any other night. Naison was in bed and asleep. Piper was at her club and the rest were in their own rooms. Amara had taken time off from her club. She owned a hot club just outside the Bay Area called Old Smoki, a hot club opened to everyone. Everyone who was aged 16+. She had gotten her assistant manager to cover for her. There was knock on her bedroom door. “Come in” she answered. It was Jeremy. “What can I do for you?” Amara asked. “I don’t know where to leave Alex tomorrow. I’m late at the station and Piper isn’t home till 6.” He said “I’m leaving Naison with Christian. He’s not working tomorrow so he said he could pick him up. I’ll get him to do the same for Alex if you want. And then drop them off for 7.30. Everyone should be home by then” Amara suggested. “Thanks Amara,” Jeremy said and left. Amara dialled Christian’s cell number on her cell and waited for him to pick up. “Hello” he said, “Hi. It’s Amara. I need a favour. You know like you’re picking up Naison tomorrow, can you also keep Alex? Piper’s son?” she asked. There was a silence. “Yeah sure. So long as you or someone picks them up by 7.30 latest. I’ve got Mo coming over with Sam from Canada. Their flight lands for 8pm.” He replied. You can’t ask him for too much, Amara thought. He’s done too much in the past. I mean, when the kids were little he used to be their part time babysitter. “Thanks a lot Chris. I really appreciate it.” Amara said and she hung up. Amara switched off her light and looked at Leo’s empty space. She touched his space and her mind felt as if she had just got an electric shock. Her mind filled up with different kinds of images. Once they cleared up, they seemed clearer. She saw Leo and some other woman in a room. Leo was sweating and had no shirt on. Amara tried to block the images and as she tried, the vision ended. She called out to the girls. Ten minutes later, the Charmed Ones knew what Amara’s vision was about. “Are you sure it was Leo?” Prue asked. “Prue I know my own husband!” Amara snapped. “ Except for the fact that he’s no longer mine. He’s with another woman.” “We don’t know that.” Paige said. “Don’t we? Just ring his cell and a woman will pick up. Ring his office and you’ll get his voicemail.” Amara challenged. Paige did just that. She called Leo’s cell and a woman picked up. She hung up quickly. She rang his office and got his voicemail. Hi, you’re through to the voicemail of CSI Leo Wyatt. I’m unable to take your call at the moment. To leave a message please press 1. To divert this call to another device such as my cell or home, please press 2 and then the relevant number. Thanks for calling.
“Okay you win” Paige shrugged in surrender. Leo orbed back half way in the night to find Amara strolling in the bedroom. “Honey, why are you awake?” Leo asked “I need to talk to you,” Amara said sternly. She sat down and Leo sat next to her on the wicker sofa. “When you say you’re going to the Elders, do you actually got to them?” Amara asked. “Of course. What made you say that?” he asked kindly. “Piper, Paige?” Amara shouted. The girls’ entered in. “What’s going on?” Leo asked. “Who is Leanne Sykes?” Piper asked “ Don’t lie to me Leo please,” Amara begged. “She’s a friend at work” Leo answered. “Is that why you spend your time in her bedroom? Instead of going to the Elders?” Phoebe said nearly screaming. “There’s nothing going on,” Leo assured Amara. “You’re my wife. Why would I want any other woman?”<br>“That’s not what my vision showed. Nor Phoebe’s.” Amara replied. “Vision? You both had it?” Leo asked. Phoebe and Amara nodded. “How?” Leo asked confused. “I touched you side of the bed and Phoebe picked up your shirt from the laundry room.” Amara replied. “Leo what’s going on?” Amara asked, trying to keep her temper down. “Nothing.” Leo replied. “Fine.” Amara got up and pulled down a suitcase. “What are you doing?” Leo asked. “I’m leaving. Shows that you can’t tell me what I need to know or what my vision means.” Amara spat back. “It means nothing!” Leo yelled. “My visions always mean something. Okay forget my vision. What about Phoebe’s?” Amara challenged Leo was speechless. “Thought as much.” Amara replied. “What’s going on?” Cole came in rubbing his eyes. “Nothing honey, go back to bed. Its just a little powwow.” Phoebe kissed him. Cole saw a suitcase on the bed. “No seriously. What’s going on?” Cole asked. “I’m leaving. That’s what’s going on.” Amara said. She packed all her main possessions and clothes and barged pass everyone. She went straight into Naison’s room and woke him up. “Nai, I’m leaving. Do you want to come?” she asked. “Leaving? Why? What happened?” Naison asked. “No time to explain.” She replied. “Amara you should at least tell Leo the good news.” Shane said. “Shane what’s the point? He’s already with another woman!” Amara said. “It might make him stop! I’ll tell him” Shane said and left the room before Amara could protest. “What good news?” Naison asked. Amara shook her head. She and Naison walked down the stairs into the foyer. “Amara wait!” Leo yelled from the second floor. He orbed from the second floor to the foyer. Sometimes it was easier to orb between rooms than to was just walking. “You didn’t tell me you were pregnant.” Leo said. “I would have done if you weren’t always leaving for the Elders!” Amara spat back. “You can’t leave” Leo begged. “Watch me” Amara challenged. She held Naison's hand and started orbing. Suddenly Amara fell to the floor. Leo rushed to her aid and checked for nay wounds. He placed his hands all over her body as if to heal any parts of unseen wounds. “Dad!” Naison yelled as he pointed to colourless liquid that was leaking from Amara. “ Her water’s burst!” Phoebe yelled. Leo grabbed her and orbed out.
Leo landed in the heavens and spoke to someone in a clickty claky language and he handed Amara to them. Two hours later, one of them came back and spoke to Leo in the native language. He handed a baby into Leo’s arms. “It‘s a baby boy” the Whitelighter mid wife said. Leo looked at the baby and noticed that the child looked exactly liked him. A couple of minutes later, Amara came out. Leo hugged her and then orbed all three back to the Manor.
Back at the Manor, the girls were trying to figure out a way to keep Leo’s relationship from breaking. As if on cue, Leo orbed in with Amara and a bundle in his arm. Amara went straight to the couch and laid down. The girls, their husbands and the kids were all surrounded by Piper who was holding the new baby. “Leo are you sure you didn’t just rebirth yourself? This baby looks so much like you!” Prue joked. Leo went a sat down next to Amara. “Still want to move out?” he asked. “Yeah” Amara replied without meeting his eyes. “What are you going to name him?” Leo asked. Everyone’s eyes were on Amara. “Rizwaan” she answered. “Riz for short”. She dozed off on the couch.

Morning came and Leo woke up to find Amara’s bedside empty. He looked in the cot and the baby wasn’t there either. He went to check Naison’s room and only Alex was there. He went downstairs to find Piper and the girls in the kitchen. “Where’s Amara?” he asked. “She left over night,” Paige replied. “How can you be so calm about it?” Leo asked. “Do you see us calm? We’re trying to find a way to bring her back!” Prue snapped.
Amara orbed into her bedroom in her and Leo’s Ashton home. She placed baby Riz on the bed as Naison sided the suitcase. She picked up the phone and dialled H’s number. “Mum who are you calling? Dad?” Naison asked. “No uncle H. I need to tell him that I’ll be working here.” Amara replied. She spoke to H. then she called Christian to leave a message for Diane to say that she was in UK. Then dialled her mum’s number. “Hello mum, its me.” Amara started off. “I’ve separated from Leo ‘cos he was going out with another woman.” She said trying to fight back the tears. She hung up once she told her mum that she was going to come round. It was now three in the afternoon. She changed Riz’s nappy and fed him. Then she got into the car with Naison and Riz and drove to her mum’s place.
“Who’s is the baby?” Mum asked when Amara rang the doorbell. “Hello to you too.” Amara replied. Amara’s mum moved to the side to welcome Amara. Amara had come back to this house after ten years. The last time she came was when Naison was three with Leo on a business trip. “New child.” Amara said as she and Naison took a seat. “You’re child? You never told us you were pregnant again” her mum replied “I didn’t tell anyone. Except the girls. I didn’t know how Leo would react.” She answered. “How did he react?” mum asked Amara looked at Naison. “ Dad was over the moon. He even tried to stop us from leaving.” He said. “But you didn’t stop,” mum said. Naison and Amara nodded. “Where is everyone?” Amara asked “Yaya is at the in-laws place as normal. Adam has gone out with some friends and gran is upstairs.” Mum replied. “Is he….a witch and Whitelighter?” Mum asked in whisper. “Yeah. He’s started his training but to where I see things going, I don’t think I’ll see the day when he becomes a full time Whitelighter.” Amara sobbed. “Amara, you don’t need to feel down in the dumps. It was his fault on what he did.” Mum tried to sooth her “Yeah but he’s the father of my kids! I loved him. I still do.” Amara said. She started to glow. “Leo’s in trouble” she said. “He can look out for himself!” mum snapped. Amara handed Riz to mum and then orbed out.
Amara orbed into an ally. This is where I sensed Leo, Amara thought Out of nowhere, she saw a demon with a crossbow. Darklighter, Amara thought He aimed the arrow at Leo who was lying on the floor trying to get up. Why is he not healed, Amara thought. The arrow left the crossbow and went flying towards Leo. Amara flicked her hands to stop the arrow from hitting Leo. The arrow and the Darklighter froze midway. Amara ran to Leo and pulled him to the side of the ally. She flicked her hand and unfroze the arrow and stabbed it into the frozen Darklighter. She moved to where Leo was and flicked her hand and unfroze the whole scene. The Darklighter unfroze and started roaring in pain. As the Darklighter roared in pain, he gave out of gush of wind, which made it hard to see anything. Amara lowered her face towards Leo to prevent her face from being attacked my the gush of heavy wind. Split second later, the Darklighter was vanquished. Leo laid on the ally ground struggling. “Leo stay with me,” Amara ordered. She placed her hands on his wound and let her hands glow. Her hands don’t glow. “Leo?” she asks for assistances. “They’ve taken your powers of healing. They think they were right. They never wanted us married because they thought that our personal life might interfere with our main job as Whitelighters.” Leo explained gasping for breath. Amara helped Leo get up and then orbed straight to the Manor. At the Manor, piper was pacing up and down waiting for Leo. “Ohmigod! What happened?” she exclaimed. “I can’t heal him. They Elders have taken my powers.” Amara sobbed. “Leo can heal himself,” Prue informed. “I can’t. They’ve taken my powers completely ‘cos me and Amara broke up” Leo struggled. Amara started sobbing as Leo turned unconscious. She orbed him to the attic couch and sat down next to him. She rang her mum first to tell her about Leo’s state and asked her to send Naison and Riz. She sat down next to Leo. She held his hand in her hand and started crying. “I wish you just told me,” she started. “What was missing in our life?” Amara sobbed and spoke to Leo, not knowing whether he could or couldn’t hear her. She sobbed and reminded him of the time they’d spent together. About their children, about how they overcame the Elders. About them as husband and wife. Amara spent just over two hours sobbing over Leo, when she felt herself glow. As if her power was returning to her. She quickly placed her hands over Leo’s wound and felt the healing heat pass form her to him. Within five minutes, Leo was gaining consciousness. Soon Leo was wide-awake, watching how Amara was crying. Leo hugged her and apologised. Amara felt the anger return to her but she tried her best in pushing it away. Leo started to caress Amara, but she tried to push him away. “Leo I need time,” she replied. Leo let her go. She headed downstairs to the foyer and Leo followed. Naison and Riz had arrived just as Amara had hung up the phone two hours ago. Leo went over to hug Riz and Naison. “Are we staying?” Naison asked hopefully. Everyone’s eyes were on Amara. She could see Paige and Phoebe folding their hands as if to beg. “No, we’re going back.” Amara answered, feeling hurt once the words left her mouth. Naison felt hurt. But he couldn’t do anything. “Come on.” She signalled Naison. She took Riz from Leo and orbed out. “Life will never be the same,” Piper said. “I need her. I want her back” Leo said. “I’m incomplete without her”<br>The girls felt sorry for Leo. They knew that Leo was telling the truth because he wouldn’t have been able to be healed. Takes two to play the game. Amara spilled out her feelings while Leo was lying unconscious and Leo must have felt the same or else Amara wouldn’t have been able to heal him. “We’ll find a way,” Cole said.
“Amara where have you been?” mum said. “Leo was very badly injured and then we both lost our powers for about three hours.” She replied casually. “How can you be do damn casual about it?” mum yelled. “Because mum, I’m married to a Whitelighter and I’m a witch in a witch family. It’s natural.” Amara replied calmly. She picked up Naison and Riz and headed back home in Ashton. When she reached home, a blast of air welcomed her. She was worried and she muttered a protection spell over Naison and Riz. Three figures stood across her in golden robes and heads covered in hoods. “a clever spell. Only a powerful witch memorizes this spell” one of the figures said. Amara stayed quite. The figures removed their hoods and Amara realised that it was the Elders. She was glad hadn’t spat anything back at them when she complimented her spell. “Is there a problem?” Amara asked politely “We have noticed that yours and Leo’s powers went out for a couple of hours.” One of them informed. “Yes, well we had a row. But it shouldn’t affect our mission as Whitelighters and witches.” Amara replied. “Oh but it does. The titans are out on the loose.” One of them said. “They are killing the Elders as we speak. We need the Charmed Ones to crack their heads” “I cant promise.” Amara urged. “ It might be hard”<br>“Nothing is hard of you work together. You don’t want to be the cause of the deaths of the Elders.” As they finished, they vanished from the house. “Oh God! Why when I want to move forward, I have to move backwards!” Amara questioned herself. The phone rang. “Wyatt residence. I mean hello?” Amara corrected herself. “Amara its Prue. Have the Elders come to see you?”<br>“Yep. They just left” Amara replied. “Do you want us to come or are you going to come? We need to get cracking” she said. “No,” Amara sighed. “I’ll be there in jiff” Amara grabbed Riz and Naison again and orbed out.
“I’m only doing this, ‘cos I don’t have a choice” she said to Leo. Leo was over the moon that Amara decided to come back.
“Emergo dormio lebertus chilus dechio. Emergo dormio lebertus chilus dechio.” The demon chanted . The ice surrounding the people starts to crackle. Suddenly, the ice explodes, knocking the demon backwards. The people are free. “It worked. You're alive. Titans from Ancient Greece.”<br>The demon stands up. “How long?” Male Titan said “How long? Three thousand years, give or take a century.” Demon replied. “What!” Female Titan exclaimed A pot across the room bursts into flames. “Who are you?” Male Titan asked “Me?” the demon asked. “ I'm the demon who spent decades trying to free you. Now you're gonna return the favour. It wasn't easy either. The world's forgotten about you. But I had a vision. If I could somehow revive you, I could use your power to bring myself to glory, rule the underworld as I was always meant to.” The demon said The male titan zaps the demon and vanquishes him. “Imbecile” the male titan scoffed The female titan smiled “I love it when you smite so unexpectedly.” The female Titan said They kissed passionately. “We have to find Cronus and free him as well.” The male Titan said “Do we have to? I know he'll be furious.” The female Titan asked “I am counting on it.” The male Titan replied.

“Right so what do we do?” Amara asked Leo. Leo felt a jingle call him. “The Elders. It sounds important”<br>He orbed out before Amara could protest. There was a scream in the attic. Amara rushed over. “Don't worry, she's alright.” A guy said, standing next to Phoebe and a statue. Phoebe gave him a look. “Well, I mean, she's not completely alright, obviously, but she's not dead.”<br>“Are you sure she's not?” she asked “Frankly, you see this a lot. Museums, universities, town centres... Most of those statues, not really statues. They're people like your sister here who have been, uh, turned into stone.” The guy replied. “Who are you?” she asked “Chris. Chris Perry. I'm from the future.” He replied Amara walked in. “Oh! My god, tell me that's just a really good likeness of Paige.” Amara asked “Oh, it's Paige.” Phoebe replied “Titan turned her to stone.” Chris replied “Who-who are you?” Piper and Amara asked together, “That's Chris. He's from the future.” Phoebe replied. “Yeah, but just like twenty years or so.” Chris said casually “Uh-huh. Friend or foe?” Piper asked “Not so sure yet.” Phoebe answered “What do you mean? I saved Paige, didn't I?” Chris protested “Oh, you call that saving, do you?” Phoebe challenged him “Hey, I'm the one that put my life on the line here. I didn't have to drop everything I was doing just to orb in and save her butt...” Chris raged “You-you orb? You're a Whitelighter?” Amara stuttered. “ Look, where I come from, history shows Paige didn't get turned into stone on this day... she died. And with her death the power of three died too, allowing Titans to rule and create a world you don't wanna see, trust me. I'm hear to alter history. To help you save the future.” Chris was going all historical. “Who sent you?” Amara asked “I can't answer that.” Chris replied. “Why not?” Piper replied. “Because anything I tell you could risk changing the future in ways we don't want.” Chris answered. “Who's we?” Prue asked. “All I gotta say is, is that if I hadn't got here when I did, Paige would have been the third Whitelighter victim.” Chris informed. “Wait, third? I thought only one was missing?” Amara asked “Not anymore.” Chris replied “Leo! Leo!” Amara yelled. Leo orbed in. “Honey, I'm sorry I missed counselling but...” Leo started Amara and Leo had marriage counselling a day after Amara returned form UK. Which was today. “Forget that, we've got bigger problems.” Amara said “What happened?” Leo asked “Forget that too. How many Whitelighters are missing?” Amara said “What?” Leo asked “How many?” Amara insisted “Uh, two. That's what the Elders just called me for.” Leo answered “Believe me now?” Chris said. “Who's he?” Leo asked They heard a crash coming from downstairs. “What was that?” Phoebe asked “Sorry, we'll pay for that.” A dwarf said pointing to the broken vase on the floor. “ So long as you can keep the world from ending.”<br> “It was a trap. You were tricked.” Cronus said “Still, there are other Whitelighters.” Meta said “No, we have been discovered. Your incompetence has endangered us all!” Cronus bellowed “My incompetence? I only went where I was told. My lord.” Meta replied “It doesn't matter. We can go back. They will be no match for the three of us.” Demetrius said “Out of the question. We have to attack our enemies now while we still can.” Cronus said “I won't leave Meta behind.” Demetrius insisted. “It's alright, Demetrius, you won't have to.” Cronus said. He threw a fireball at Meta and vanquished her. “Careful, Demetrius. Either you're with me, or you're with her.” He said.
Amara and Leo were taking the fairy tale people into the conservatory. “Come on, come on, and prance this way. Here we go. Here we go. Move it, move it, move it. Today.” Amara urged “Hey, quit manhandling us. We're not your pets.” The dwarf said “No, you're just a pain. Now, go on. And don't let the neighbours see you.” Amara replied. A muscly man wearing no shirt, holding a crystal ball walked into the conservatory. “Whoa, check out the size of that Oracle's... ball.” Phoebe said. Amara closed the conservatory doors. “Phoebe, focus.” Amara urged. she gasped. She had the fairy stuck in the door. “I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.” Amara apologised. The fairy flew away. “Stay away from those windows.” Amara yelled. She stepped into the parlour. “What the hell is going on around here?” Amara asked. The Elf nanny walked in, holding onto a drumstick. “ If you haven't noticed, the world's a mess out there. Something terrible is going on. Everyone senses it.” The nanny said. “The Titans?” Phoebe asked “Must be.” Leo answered “So you guys just all came here figuring that we would stop them?” Amara asked “Well, you are the Charmed Ones, aren't you?” the nanny said. Riz cried from upstairs. “Do you always leave the little one unattended?” the nanny asked “No!” Phoebe, Amara and Prue answered. “Well, it just sounds like he needs to be changed. I'll take care of it.” The nanny said. She turned for the stairs. “Hold it! You are not the nanny. We rejected you.” Amara said “No, I rejected you. But I suppose I can fill in, just for a bit.” The nanny replied. The Elf Nanny faced the stairs and disappeared. “Did she just hire herself?” Phoebe asked “You need to go watch her.” Amara said to Leo. “What about the Elders? I need to let them know the Titans are back.” Leo protested “Can't Chris tell them? I mean, he's a Whitelighter, isn't he?” Phoebe asked “Wait a minute. Where is he?” Amara asked “Upstairs with Paige.” Phoebe answered “And the book.” Amara and Leo answered. “Alright, you, to the Elf.” Amara said to Leo. Leo went upstairs. “You keep an eye on our magical house guests. Herd them into the basement or something. I'm gonna go see what future boy is up to.” Amara said to Phoebe and made her way upstairs. Chris was flipping through the Book of Shadows. Amara walked in. “What are you doing?” Amara asked “What does it look like I'm doing? I'm trying to find a way to free stone-cold Paige over here.” Chris replied “Step away.” Amara ordered calmly “Please, like I haven't looked in this before. By the way, you should update your goblins entry. It'll come in handy some day.” Chris said “Goblins?” Amara asked “Yeah, trust me. It's gonna get ugly. Look, obviously you don't trust me, but I touched the book, right? And the book thinks I'm good. Shouldn't you?” Chris challenged. “Well, maybe you found a way around that.” Amara challenged back. “Amara, come on. I'm just trying to help.” Chris said “Well, then if that's true, why don't you tell me how to vanquish the Titans?” Amara replied. “Except you can't vanquish them.” Chris answered “You mean, not without the power of three.” Amara suggested. “Maybe not even with that. The only way the Elders could stop them three thousand years ago was by infusing some mortals with a hell of a lot of power. Way more than you guys have.” Chris said. “So they can do that again.” Amara said

“Not after what happened last time. When the mortals trapped the Titans, the power went to their heads.” Chris shook his head. “They declared themselves gods and forced the world to worship them. The Elders swore they would never allow that to happen again.”<br>“Hang on a second, I'm having a ninth grade flashback. You're talking about the Greek gods, Zeus, Athena, and Aphrodite? They were mortals?” Amara said “Mythology left that part out. Not the only inaccuracy by the way.” Chris informed Phoebe, the dwarf and Finnegan the Leprechaun walked in. “Phoebe, what are you doing? You're supposed to be...” Amara started “I know, I know. But I thought they could help us free Paige. After all, a leprechaun's luck has helped us before.” Phoebe answered. She patted the dwarf on the shoulder. “He's the leprechaun, I'm one of the seven dwarves. Try to keep it straight, will you?” the dwarf snapped “Sorry.” Phoebe apologised. Finnegan walked over to the statue. “It's gonna take a lot more than just me luck to free this one. We're gonna need some pixie dust too.” He said. “I'll get a fairy. Left my axe downstairs anyway.” The dwarf said. The dwarf left the attic. “Okay, so where are we?” Phoebe asked “Screwed. Possibly. One thing I'm still not clear about. If the Titans are roaming around, why are they killing Whitelighters?” Amara asked “Because they need their orbing power.” Chris said “Their orbing power? What on earth would they wanna do with... oh my god. Leo!” Amara got a shock. Amara raced out of the attic. “Wh-What'd I miss? What did she just figure out?” Phoebe asked, dumbstruck. “Nothing good.” Chris assured her.
Leo and the Elf Nanny were watching a crying Naison in his crib. She used her magic and a blanket appears wrapped around Naison. “How'd you know he was cold?” Leo asked “Babies are what I do.” She said Amara raced in. “Leo? The Titans are after the Elders.” Amara bursted “What?” Leo couldn’t believe his ears “You have to go warn them but don't stay up there too long. Hurry.” She urged him Leo orbed out. Amara looked down at Naison and smiled slightly.
Leo orbed in and saw the Elders' bodies lying dead on the floor. There were black scorch marks everywhere. Leo saw Cecil's body near by. “No.” Leo whispered. He fell to his knees.
Back at the Manor in the Attic, Phoebe, the dwarf, Finnegan and a fairy were there. The fairy threw magic dust on the Paige statue and Finnegan held out his gold nugget, hitting the statue with good luck. “Now, laddie!” Finnegan said The dwarf hit the statue with his pick but nothing happened. “Don't know what else to try.” The dwarf shrugged “Running out of gold too, I'm afraid.” Finnegan replied “Okay, well, there's gotta be something we can do. Just keep trying.” Phoebe replied. she walked over to Chris who was looking at some things on a shelf. “What are you doing over here?” she asked Chris. “Nothing. You guys keep this stuff forever, you know that?” Chris replied. “You knew the Titans were after the Elders, didn't you? Why didn't you tell us?” Phoebe asked “I told you, there's some things I can't tell you. Some things you need to figure out on your own.” Chris replied. “Even at the risk of making things worse?” she asked Amara walked in. “Alright, what's going on? Leo is not responding to any of my calls and it's been over five hours.” Amara sounded worried. “I really don't know.” Chris said “Well, I really think you do.” Amara spat back. “Look, you're the one who wanted him to go up there in the first place, not me. Alright, fine, maybe I do know. And if I'm right, he's gonna need some serious alone time.” Chris spat back. “You know what? Cut it out with the cryptic crap. You need to go up there and bring him back now. No more games.” Amara instructed “Okay, fine, I'll go. But if I were you two, I'd focus on freeing Paige because you're gonna need her. Soon.” He said as he orbed out. “I swear to god, if he does not come back with Leo, I'm gonna blow his ass back to the future, orbs and all.” Amara threatened. “You know what? Why don't you go be with Nai and I'll take care of everything up here. I will call you if anything happens, I promise. You're not breathing.” Phoebe offered “Nope.” Amara answered “Breathe.” Phoebe said. Amara left the attic. “Okay, next sister.”<br> Leo was sitting beside Cecil's body as Chris orbed in. “Leo.” Chris said Leo got up and walked towards Chris. “Why didn't you tell me? Why did you let this happen!” Leo demanded He pushed Chris against a wall. “Easy, easy!” Chris said “Why!” he demanded again. “Because this had to happen. It had to happen so you could do what has to be done.” Chris replied. “What are you talking about? They're all dead. Gone.” Leo said “No. Not all of them. Some of the Elders escaped back to earth but it won't be long before the Titans hunt them down too. But you can still stop them. You can still defeat the Titans.” Chris replied. “How?” Leo asked “I think you know how.” Chris said “It's too dangerous. The Elders forbid it.” Leo said “True. But then again, the Elders aren't around to stop you now, are they? That's right, Leo. This is what it's all about. This is why they had to die so you could do something they'd never do. To save a future for your family, for your sons.” Chris said “This is crazy.” Leo said “Maybe, but it's our only chance. Like it or not, you've been put in this situation” Chris said “Says you. How do I know you're not trying to manipulate the situation for your own future? Just the way you've manipulated everything else.” Leo spat “You don't. But what choice do you really have? There's certainly no future unless you do something.” Chris said “I don't know. Even if I were to believe you, even if I were willing, I couldn't. I'm no Elder.” Leo said “Well, you better start acting like one.” Chris said
Back at the Manor in the Attic the fairy sprinkled magic dust on the Paige statue. “Now.” She ordered. Finnegan held out his gold nugget, and hit the statue with good luck. Phoebe threw a potion at the statue. “Hit it!” she yelled. The dwarf hit the statue with his pick. The stone crumbles and frees Paige. “Honey, hi!” Phoebe hugged Paige. “Oh, I'm so happy to see you. Are you okay?” Phoebe asked “What happened? Where's the Titan? What the hell are these guys doing here?” Paige asked “Long story, I'll tell you on the way.”<br>Phoebe and Paige left the attic. “You're welcome!” the dwarf yelled
in the living room, Amara was sitting on the couch. Phoebe and Paige walked down the stairs. “There you are.” Phoebe said They walked into the living room. “Okay, I get the whole epic Titan thing, but what I'm not getting is the Chris thing.” Paige said “Yeah, we're still trying to figure that part out. Look who's not stoned.” Phoebe said “Welcome back. You've missed a lot.” Amara said as she hugged Paige. “Yeah. I can't help but think it's kind of all my fault though. I'm the one who lured the Titans here. Insert I told you so.” Paige said “Done.” Phoebe said “I just kind of was obsessed with the whole weird dreams thing and... but I am so sorry for any distress I might have caused you, Amara” Paige said “Don't worry about it. I should've listened to you in the first place. Just trying not to worry or to panic. I've just got this terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach.” Amara replied. “What kind of feeling?” she asked “That Leo's not coming back.” Amara replied. “Oh, sweetie.” Phoebe sat beside Amara. “Of course he's coming back. How could he not?” “I don't know, it's just something that Chris said about Leo having to go through this alone. I don't know. What the hell is he doing up there?” Amara said The dwarf walked in. “Sorry to interrupt but we're all leaving now.” He said “Wait, why?” Paige asked “Didn't you hear the distress call? The surviving Elders have all been flushed out and they need protection.” He replied “Surviving?” Paige asked “The Elf will stay behind to take care of the kid while you battle the Titans. Ciao.” He said and he left. “Wait, who said anything about us battling the Titans?” Phoebe said “Leo.” Amara answered.
“Leo!” Amara’s voice came through Some doors opened and Leo walked in holding an urn. “Amara” Leo whispered “No.” Chris said “But she needs me.” Leo said “Not as much as the rest of us do. You need to stay here, even afterwards, to coordinate.” Chris said “Alright. Then you should go otherwise the girls won't understand.” Leo said “Good luck.” Chris said Chris orbed out. Leo took the lid off the urn. “ Ekre oh-gee, akman minento.” He chanted A bright light rose out of the urn. “Leo! Leo!” Amara’s voice was coming through
“Leo, for god's sakes, if you can hear me.” Amara said. As she finished Chris orbed in. “You? Where's Leo?” Amara asked “He's safe. For now. Paige, hi.” Chris said “Hi.” Paige replied “Forget that. What do you mean for now?” Amara said “What is this about us supposedly battling the Titans?” she asked “You're about to find out.” Chris said “What's that supposed to mean?” Paige asked A tornado of light swirled around the girls. It disappeared and revealed them wearing outfits from ancient Greece. Phoebe had extremely long and thick blonde hair. Paige was holding onto a trident. Phoebe gasped. Chris smiled. “That's what that means.” Chris said “What happened? What are we?” Paige asked “You're gods.” Chris informed. "You expect us to beat the Titans dressed like this? Maybe at a costume party.” Amara said. “That's not a costume. That represents your new position and power.” Chris said “Power? Power's good. I like power.” Paige said. She thought for a moment. “Why do I like power?” she asked “Because you are the goddess of war.” Chris replied.

“Ahh. Well, I guess that explains the pitch fork.” Paige said “It's not a pitch fork, it's a trident. Be careful, that's a formidable weapon.” Chris warned “Right on. Who wants to fight?” Paige offered “I'm a lover, not a fighter.” Phoebe protested. “You're the goddess of love.” Chris said “Naturally. Well, then that must make me the goddess of sanity because I find this ridiculous.” Amara said “Actually, Leo gave you dominion over the earth and all it's natural elements.” Chris said “Wait a minute, you're saying that Leo did this to us?” Amara asked “Chris? You never told us, do you have a girlfriend in the future?” Phoebe flirted. “As you can see, all of you have drives and urges based on your powers. Don't let them distract you, alright? Stay focused, focused on the Titans.” Chris said ignoring Phoebe. “Hold it, pal. I don't know what kind of game you're running here, but Leo is not in the god-making business.” Amara said. “How old are you, anyway?” Phoebe asked Chris. “The Elders forbid it. And if anything, Leo is a company man.” Amara said “The Elders did forbid it. And guess what, they're dead. Most of them. Leo's in charge up there now and he's taken a huge risk that you three won't lose your humanity like the ancient Greeks... Whoa!” Chris said. Paige stuck her trident into Chris's shirt and held him up in the air. “You killed the Elders. You could've prevented it. I say we castrate.” Paige sounded mean. “A little control here, ladies, please.” Chris said “Can't we figure out something else to cut off?” Phoebe asked Chris orbed out and orbed back in across the room. “I told you, stay focused. In my future, all the Elders were killed. That's why I came back to help Leo give you the power so this would never have to happen again.” Phoebe said "Hey, guys, watch this.” Paige said She pointed her trident at the piano and a bolt of lightning flew out of it hitting the piano. The piano broke into pieces. “Put that thing down, you're gonna hurt someone.” Amara ordered “I certainly hope so.” Paige said. “ Do you know the kind of damage this thing could do?”<br>“A lot.” Chris said “Paige, make love, not, you know. There's no door love can't open, no wall love can't climb, not hurdle love can't...” Phoebe said and then stopped to think for the correct term. “Hurdle.” She finally said “This is Leo's strategy? Well, he must have lost it up there because these girls can't be seen in public, much less...” Amara said “Ooh, that reminds me. I'm late for the bachelor auction. I'm gonna go pick up a guy or two, or twelve.” Phoebe said She clapped her hands and a pink misty heart appeared. A pink swirl of mist surrounded her and she disappeared from the room. “Phoebe?” Chris spoke up “Ooh, that's a good idea. I'm gonna go get in some target practice with some demons. Watch out Titans.” Paige said Lightning bolts surrounded her and she disappeared from the room. “I knew this was gonna happen. You gotta go after them.” Chris said “Oh, no-no-no. This was your big plan, you clean up the mess.” Amara replied “No, your role is to provide balance. That's why you feel so grounded and in control.” Chris said to Amara. “Wow, Chris that was actually pretty good. You almost sounded like a Whitelighter. Too bad I already have one. And if he would like me to do something, he can come down and tell me himself.” Amara replied. She looked to the roof and said. “Do you hear that?”<br>“You want Leo, hm?” Chris asked. “Then vanquish the Titans. If you can't do that, you're gonna find out what a world of darkness feels like. My world.” Chris said
“I can sense what's left of the Elders. They're scared and running for their lives.” Demetrius said “You're still angry with me for killing her, aren't you? Demetrius, I'm sorry. Meta was a distraction. Once we control the heavens, you can have any woman you want. I want you to know, I did what had to be done. We needed to hit the Elders hard and fast, and we did, alright? Demetrius, let's go finish off the Elders.” Cronus said They disappeared.
“Come on, now, hit me with your best shot.” Paige challenged A demon threw an energy ball at Paige and she caught it. She distinguished it. “Give me one firm spot on wish to stand and I will move the earth.” She challenged again She pointed her trident at the demon and zapped him, vanquishing him. " Archimedes said that. Great warrior. And he didn't even have a trident. Okay, on your knees. Kiss the hand of the Paige.” Paige ordered. “Yes, my liege.” The demon said They kneeled in front of her. “ Mm, being a goddess does have its perks.” She said she left and flew around in one spot and Amara appeared. “Paige, what are you doing?” she asked “How'd you find me?” Paige asked “Apparently it's one of my powers to keep an eye on you. What is going on here?” Amara replied “Oh, I'm just building an army. I figured what better way to smite the Titans than with hordes of demons, right?” Paige replied “Wrong. All of you out.” Amara ordered. “We answer only to our liege.” The demons replied. Paige smiled and nodded. “I see.” Amara said “See, they're very loyal. And you know what? I don't know why I was wasting my time studying witchcraft when I clearly should have been earning my general stripes.” Paige boasted “I said go! Now!” Amara yelled The ground shook. The demons disappeared, frightened. “What'd you have to do that for? I had followers.” Paige said “You can't have followers. None of us can. Now come on before I unleash my wrath on you.” Amara said They disappeared.
Amara and Paige were in the Foyer. “Not in the house.” Amara ordered Amara took the trident off of Paige and puts it aside. “Now let's go find Phoebe.” She ordered The Elf Nanny walked in pushing the baby pram. “My word, this is a house of ill repute. Hardly suitable for an infant.” Elf Nanny said She walked off. “Wh- What do you mean?” Amara said They heard voices coming from the living room. “How does that feel, Phoebe?” Man's Voice said Amara and Paige walked into the living room to find Phoebe lying on a red sofa, surrounded by half-naked men. Some were fanning her with a large feather, another was massaging her feet, and another was feeding her grapes. : “Oh, make sure you peel those for me, will you?” Phoebe asked “Phoebe? We need to talk.” Amara said sternly “Yes, we do. The world would be over flowing with peace and love if only we just talked more.” She replied “Mm-hm. What are they doing here?” Amara asked “Oh, worshipping me, adoring me, exalting my name. There is so much love in this room I can barely stand it.” Phoebe said “Me neither. It's time to send your groupies away, now.” Amara said “But serving me makes them so happy.” Phoebe protested. One of the men handed Phoebe a chalice. “Thank you, bachelor number three.” She replied “Alright, all of you, show is over. Move along.” Amara ordered “We live to serve Phoebe.” Evan said “Oh, you do, don't you? That's so sweet. Amara, you need to get some followers of your own. It's a really great confidence builder.” Phoebe said. “Are you eyeing me, soldier?” Paige said

Chris walked in. “What the hell is this? Goddesses gone wild? I told you to keep them in line. What would happen if the Titans attacked right now?” Chris yelled “Chris, I've got it. Thank you. All of you, out!” Amara shouted A gust of wind blows through the room and the men landed in the foyer all on top of one another. They quickly got up and raced outside. “Now that's what I'm talking about.” Chris chuckled “Time for a morality check. Leo did not give us this power so we could form armies or love cults.” Amara said eyeing the girls. Phoebe looked at Chris and flirted. “The ancient Greeks indulged in their whims that way and look what they became.” She said “ Petty, evil, vindictive.” Chris said “Thanks, I've got it. Now...” Amara said “hi!” She poked Phoebe with a pillow. “ Can you two get it under control?”<br>“Reason and judgement are the qualities of a leader. Tacitus, 100 A.D.” Paige said historically “Love will keep us together. Captain and Tennille. 1970s.” Phoebe said “Fascinating. Now, can we figure out a way to beat the Titans, 'cause I for one would like my family back. Soon.” Amara asked They heard the Elders call. “Is that a jingle?” Phoebe asked “There are no Elders up there. Who's jingling?” Amara said “It's Leo.” Chris said “Leo can jingle?” Amara asked “Yep. He says an Elder's under attack. Like it or not, it's time to face the Titans!” Chris informed.
Finnegan stood in front of Roland the Elder. The Titans were standing a few feet away from them. “Stand back, wise one.” Finnegan said “Such bravery in the face of death.” Cronus said “We ain't the ones who'll be dying today.” Finnegan said He waved his shillelagh and said some Irish words. A rainbow appeared and sucked up Finnegan and Roland. Cronus threw a blast of fire into the air hitting the tail of the rainbow. Finnegan screamed and Roland fells out of the rainbow onto the ground. “Remind me when we're through with the Elders to do something nice for the Leprechaun community.” Cronus said “We've beaten you before, Cronus. We'll do it again.” Roland said “How? Your numbers are dwindling. By day's end, the great Elders will all be dead and we'll own the heavens.” Cronus said Amara, Phoebe and Paige appeared. “Who are you?” Cronus asked “The Supremes.” Paige answered She pointed her trident and a bolt of lightning headed for Cronus. He blocked it with a wave of his hand. “She wields the powers of the gods.” Demetrius said “Just kill the Elder.” Cronus ordered Cronus and Demetrius threw a stream of fire and a lightning bolt at the girls. They held up their hands and a light shields them. “Somebody get the Elder out.” Amara screamed “I can't. I can't move.” Phoebe said “ Me neither.” Paige replied. The Titans moved closer to them. “Leo!” Amara yelled
