It was September of the year 2005. One of my sisters was pregnant but she didn’t know it yet. She was in her second month but as it is with her, she’s always moody so you never know when her hormones are messing with her. Her period has been late too but I can only roll my eyes at it and explain everything in the next lines I am going to write down now.
My name is Phoebe Halliwell and I am writing this little true story here in our Book of Shadows to explain the names I have chosen for my firstborn daughter. Yes, I am pregnant – finally. I have longed for this little baby girl for so long. Now I will finally be able to embrace her for real. I want the next Generations to know about our sister Prue and that I didn’t forget her.
She was an extraordinary woman. I confess we weren’t always the best of friends. It wasn’t always easy with her being the oldest and me being the youngest at that time. I was a fool somehow and always thought she wanted to deny me fun because she didn’t have it herself. Soon after we found out about being the Charmed Ones I realized why she acted like she did. She wanted to give me and Piper a proper childhood. Something Prue never had herself.
It wasn’t easy for us with our dad gone and our mother passed away. Grams was our only adult support and Prue helped her out a lot while I just caused trouble. Now I know that many things I did were wrong; but also those mistakes made me the person I am today. In honor of my eldest sister Prudence, I wanted to name my eldest daughter Prudence too.
We all knew about Piper and Leo having a daughter in the future who they named Melinda, honoring our ancestor Melinda Warren. But in that future our sister Prue was still alive and we didn’t know about Paige. Me, I was condemned to burn at the stake for a mistake I did which I will write about some other day. This story is about my eldest daughter.
After that future was changed and Prue died, I knew Piper was going to name her daughter Prudence. But then Wyatt was born, a boy. A year later Piper got pregnant yet once again and Chris was born. Then it was my turn and I finally got pregnant. From my premonition powers I knew it would be a girl and I immediately named her Prudence. Everyone knew I would name her Prudence but one day I changed my mind and the first person I wanted to tell was my now pregnant elder sister.
I drove to the Manor where we used to live and asked to talk to her. Once we were inside and Wyatt and Chris were playing upstairs I asked her how she was feeling. She said she was feeling fine. I tried to make her see she was pregnant but she didn’t believe me. She said my hormones were messing with my powers and I couldn’t think clearly. I laughed at her and took her with me to my routine check up on the baby. Stubborn as she was it was hard to convince her to go; but I had to tell her I might not be able to drive home because I was in pain – something I wasn’t but I needed something to get her to come with me, right?
So she finally gave in and came along. After some long minutes of discussions in the waiting room, Piper decided to make an ultrasound only to prove me wrong. She couldn’t believe it when she found out she was actually pregnant – once again. Even though she knew it would be hard for her to get pregnant due all of the Demon attacks she had to survive in the years she was active as a Charmed One.
Once we got back to the Manor she was still shocked. It was a happy shock though and I could see in her eyes she was happy. I took her hand then and asked her to sit down on the couch. I told her I saw it coming; I saw her daughter playing with mine and I also saw their powers. Piper’s eyes widened as I mentioned daughter. She couldn’t believe she was having a daughter and touched her stomach. I smiled softly and then told her I was giving up the name Prudence for her. She refused to accept it because I have been pregnant with my little baby girl for longer and she would be born next month.
I then explained her why I gave up the name Prudence for her. I knew Piper and Prue were always closer than me and Prue. I also knew she wanted to name her daughter Prue now instead of Melinda if Wyatt happened to be a girl. Besides, I did never really know our mother – Patricia Halliwell. The only times I got the chance to talk to her was when we summoned her as a ghost or when we travelled back in time once to undo a pack she made with a warlock giving him immunity against our powers. I wanted my eldest daughter’s name to start with a P, so I decided to name her Patricia – after our mother.
Piper asked me if I was sure and I assured her that I was. I could also name my daughter Penelope instead of Patricia; but then again I knew about my other sister having a daughter in about two years from now and I knew she was also kind of closer to Grams than our mother.
I am happy that Grams watched over us and I am thankful to her, but to have my mother closer to me I wanted one of my daughters to have her name. I might have more daughters – that’s something I don’t know yet. All I know is that the three important P’s of the new Warren Generation will be given to each sister’s eldest daughter. I can’t tell yet what it means, but I know something will happen where they will be needed.
Ouch, little Patricia is kicking me. I can just smile each time she does this. Little Patty, I can’t wait to finally hold you and see how beautiful you are. Thinking about the name though, people will get confused when they hear about you. They will think you are the Charmed Ones’ mother – my mother. I can’t help myself but smile softly at my belly now. It sounds silly, I know. But Patty… maybe we should start calling you Trish instead. I won’t think about it now, since you will have to decide by which name you would like go by when you’re older. I’m fine with both. But for now you shall be my little Lady… my Ladybug.
Your middle name is Brianna. She was an ancestor of ours and she was a very powerful witch who possessed telekinesis, just like your deceased aunt Prue. I hope you will be as proud as me to be a Halliwell… or Warren. I can see you and your cousins are going to be known as the new Warren Generation and not as Halliwells. Every generation should have its own unique abilities and names. Thinking of names, you will be part of a new powerful wicca generation and someone will have to refer to you and your cousins when writing about you, just like when someone writes about us – the Charmed Ones. You are truly blessed Patricia, along with your cousins Wyatt and Chris and your unborn cousins and siblings. Yes, I do hope to have more children in the future.
You guys are blessed children. Hold on a moment, that is it. Your generation – the new Warren generation – shall also be known as the Blessed Children! I will make sure everyone will know about this, but as for now, it is stated in our Book of Shadows.
I guess I will have to finish now. I have told what I wanted and in the process named our new generation and I hope they will be as glorious as me and my sisters once were. But I am sure they will be even more victorious than we were – and I don’t need my premonition powers to be able to see it. I only have to look at Wyatt and Chris and how powerful they already are.
I can’t wait to finally hold you in my arms and kiss you for real. My little Ladybug.
Sincerely,
Phoebe Halliwell
