"I love you too." Said Piper, as she leaned against Cole. "So what happens?"

"After Lizzy was born the source tried to kidnap all of the children to raise as evil..." started future Piper before present Piper interrupted.

"Who's Lizzy?"

"Prue's twin sister." laughed future Piper, "We named her after Cole's mom. Anyways, not only our kids but Phoebe and Paige's as well. So Cole and Leo went to find them without letting anyone know. And Cole got so angry that his evil half began to take hold and not let go. Even after Leo brought the kids back, I had to bring Cole back to himself..."

"How did you do that?" asked Cole, knowing how he gets when his demonic self gets the upper hand.

With a smile, future Piper answered, "I kissed you. For one reason or another our love is so strong it helped you to conquer your evil half and come back to me so that we could raise our kids without living in fear."

"How many kids do we have?" asked Cole, raising an eyebrow to present Piper.

"We have four; Chris, Potter, Prue and Lizzy. We didn't know that we were having twins until the day the girls were born. Lizzy was a very pleasant surprise."

"When do we get married?" asked Piper, unknowingly to her stroking her belly.

"April 15th." said Chris, trying not to laugh.

"What's so funny?" asked Cole, curious as to why Chris was laughing when no one said anything funny.

"It's my birthday. I was born early. It was the day after mom and Leo's divorce was final. I kind of interrupted the ceremony. Or that's at least how you tell it dad." Laughed Chris, remembering all the jokes his dad made, about him always being in trouble one way or another.

"It's true. We made it to 'you may now kiss the bride' and my water broke. Cole forever jokes that Chris was a born trouble maker. Potter on the other hand is Chris' polar opposite, the angel of the bunch..."

"So he takes after you. Good. "Said Cole, before he kissed present Piper's cheek.

"Flattery will get you nowhere with me, you know." laughed Piper, before returning Cole's kiss.

"Anyways Potter is the angel, helping before I even ask for his help. Prue is my genius, just like her namesake. Lizzy is my rebel. Just like her Aunt Phoebe, causes about the exact same amount of trouble too." continued future Piper, as she looked lovingly at her eldest son.

"Oh, great we'll be on the S.F.P.D. on speed dial then." laughed Piper, "But more importantly back to Duntorsanix, we have to find him and kill him before he makes the deal with Dan, otherwise we're going to have two demons to worry about and it just so happens that would be two too many."

"Okay so maybe we can find present Dan from future Dan's atheme, and then he can lead us to Duntorsanix. We kill him before he makes the deal that changes the future so that I don't die, right?" asked Cole, hoping that it would actually be that simple for once.

"It could work. We may have to improvise here and there but basically we have a game plan. I'll start scrying for Dan, Piper, why don't you go calm down until we find him, both of you." said Paige, stepping up since her sister was obviously going through a hard time, and Phoebe was nowhere to be found.

Instead of trying to argue both Piper's left the attic leaving Paige and Cole to find Dan. They walked silently down the stairs to Piper's room. "So why do I get the feeling that there is more going on then you and Chris are letting on?"

"Probably because there always is more to it. I know that some of the things that I'm about to tell you you're not going to want to hear but you need to hear them to prevent the worse future from happening..."

"What are you talking about?" asked Present Piper, as she sat down on the bed hoping that it would stop her head from spinning.

"I'm talking about telling you things that you are not going to want to believe but you need to hear because when you do you will save not only yourself but also Phoebe." Said Future Piper, as she sat down on the couch across from Present Piper.

"When did I get to be so cryptic?" asked Piper, after a couple of minutes of awkward silence.

"It was just something that happened. Now listen to the whole story before you interrupt and ask questions okay?" Future Piper paused and waited for Present Piper to nod. "Okay, first Phoebe ends up engaged to a demon again but this time he is pure demon posing as a half-breed. The problem is that while Paige, Cole and you can see it as clear as day, she refuses to. And this causes the triqutra to break, this leaves us open to a free for all. During this attack Caleb attacks Phoebe. And when she stabs her with the atheme, he did damage to her spine that Leo couldn't heal completely, leaving her with a lot of problems and a limp.

"She when she went down Paige pinned Caleb and I killed him. This returned our bond as sisters and gave us our powers back but it took a while before the demons clued in to that and we did a lot of damage to the underworld that day. And yet it wasn't worth the price that Phoebe had to pay for the rest of her life. After that she became understandable depressed and it was hard for us to stand back and watch her go through this, that's why the Elders tried to help her as much as they could. They sent a cupid to help her find her soulmate, they found him but when they did Phoebe turned her back on him because he was magical and she didn't want to deal with another magical love that could probably turn on her and try to kill her." Explained Future Piper, as she spoke she had tears in her eyes at the memories of her past.

"And you think that if I know about this beforehand that it will save Phoebe's love life?" asked Present Piper, curious as to why Phoebe's love life was so important in the future.

"Not just Phoebe's love life, her ability to love will be lost when she realizes that her soulmate is the very thing that she fears the most. And this in turn affects her relationships with us and Paige, therefore damaging the Power of Three. This puts not only our lives at risk but the lives of our children. The only thing that has somewhat balanced out Phoebe's absence is that we had Cole and Leo. Between the two of them they made it appear that the Power of Three was still around when in truth it was us and Paige with one of the guys in a glamour looking like Phoebe."

"Wait and minute what about the Power of Three spells? They wouldn't work if Phoebe wasn't there to say them with Paige and I, regardless of whether one of the guys..."

"That was easy, if it was demon that required the three of us then the Elders would also help us to find a way to vanquish the demon while still making it appear that it was the Power of Three spell. And it saved our lives on more than one occasion. It made things a lot harder on us but we knew that we had to let Pheebs deal with this in her own time or we would lose her forever and that was something that neither of us could survive."

"Okay, does this happen before or after Paige and Leo are together?" asked Present Piper, hoping to get all the information that she could to prevent this future from coming to pass. It may have had it's good times but she wasn't sure that she would be able to watch her little sisters suffer like that.

"This happened just after Paige and Leo got together. He the original attack was about a month after Paige and Leo told us that they had been dating for six months; they kept it a secret because they weren't sure how we would react. We meaning you and I, considering that even thought we were with Cole, they still thought that you would have issues with it."

"Why would we have issues with it considering that we did pretty much the same thing as that with Cole?" said Present Piper, who was starting to get weirded out with all the 'we' and 'us' talk about her and her future self.

"That's exactly what we told them, that it would be very hypocritical to say anything when we remembered how it felt when things were with Phoebe." Explained Future Piper, smiling that this was going better than she thought that it would.

"PIPER!" came Paige's voice from that attic.

"Coming!" yelled Present Piper, before turning to her future self. "Anything else that I need to know before we do this?"

"Nope, I just thought that I would tell you that while we had the time. It saved on finding an excuse later to talk to you alone without anyone else around." Explained Future Piper, as she lead the way out of the room and up the stairs.

"About time you two got here." Said Paige, as they entered the room.

"Paige ease up, you only called them 25 seconds ago. Not everyone can orb you know?" laughed Cole, as Paige sent a scowl in his direction.

"We found him."
