perusing the Charmed Wiki and yeah I AM getting emotional reading this tyvm
"Paige stated she started going to P3 about a year before Prue died. Paige went to the club because she felt a connection with the sisters, meaning she probably knew what they looked like. Therefore, it's possible that she and Prue have seen each other there without realizing they were related."
if prue (and andy, ig) had lived; I imagine they would have eventually maybe gotten married but Definitely would have had kids. and let's face it well prue would have had her kid before her sisters like i think she would have had her kid or at least been pregnant by the season 3 finale (actually pregnant about four episodes before the finale but they don't acknowledge it until the finale) and boom that means their first child, who I'm gonna call patricia halliwell II, was born in season four don't ask me what's going on in season four quite yet that's not the point here ANYWAY. baby patty (also referred to as trish for my sake) was born let's say innnn october of 2001. bet. the rest is. long. so it goes under the cut.
okay okay so prue and andy are alive and married with one child, piper and leo are alive and married and i think they still get pregnant around the same time BUT if i'm not mistaken phoebe actually got pregnant before piper? but then like. i have to tackle the whole Thing about how phoebe got pregnant. unfortunately at my core i am a phole shipper idgaf (yes i do adore a dynamic where the only thing keeping a man sane is the love for his woman + i liked phoebe with the first cupid more than 'coop' so. whatever) so okay BOOM. we're taking it to the episode where cole strips his demon side of balthazar yes that still happens yeah yeah yeah. the source still attempts to possess cole BUT you know what. he and phoebe are married by then. they did it secretly and they've been enjoying the newlywed life without getting flack for it (although phoebe wants a big wedding later) and instead of just possessing cole. it leeches onto phoebe too (cole had a void inside of him, phoebe being born in the house makes her more suspectable) and like. not for nothing but phole aren't a couple who willingly confess to trouble at the first sight of it i'd say it's one of their biggest negative traits (for both of them) but they both fucking Notice it. obviously. except because it's split between them the whole source actively trying to possess them fully is not working out especially because their love cheesy as it is, is quite literally a point of strength for both of them and they're dealing with this together. phoebe is now a witch harboring part of the source and cole is half human harboring part of the source's essence. they think they're handling it well but actually. hang on. she's pregnant. and her magic is all wonky and the first time they try a power of three spell after this happens IT DOESN'T WORK! so uh oh time to confess time to bite the bullet time to admit that the power of three might be broken because of this
and like. it is. BUT this is how i would bring paige in because i forgot about her. phoebe is no longer apart of the power of three (still a good witch! still a halliwell!) and they think oh that's it it's over (especially since phoebe and cole inexplicably disappear for like. three months) except like. she still has premonitions she's just no longer a Charmed one i mean it's possible for other witches to have premonitions so it's not like she loses access to all of her witch powers it's just not. charmed premonitions anymore. in this vein i would say paige no longer has telekinetic orbing and instead she has empathy (soz pheebs but no more power developments for you) which paired with her whitelighter powers/orbing idk gives her a form of mimicry SOMETHING IN THAT VEIN. she doesn't get premonitions or anything.
ANYWAY! yeah. paige is introduced. phoebe and cole are pregnant and she's two months pregnant before piper also finds out she's pregnant. so far trish is the only ng kid born. la la la la season four deals with the phole fallout, the pregnancies (yes the seer still tried to snatch the baby up, no she doesn't succeed) and paige reinstating the power of three. phoebe and piper both have their kids in like. early season five. phoebe and cole have a daughter (i don't care. no firstborn boys i'm so serious) who they name ummm. well they're not naming her after prue clearly but i think she still does want the P theme and i'm not keen on using phoebecoop's daughters names so i have to like. brainstorm names hold on UHHH. okay. i'll be cliche idgaf okay she'll be named persephone AND THEN! piper's daughter is named penelope halliwell II because you know what i like piper's past life being grams' mom and then piper using her name in present times ANYWAY.
we're working with patricia (prueandy daughter, born in 2001) & persephone, who i'm gonna refer to as honey & penelope, furthermore referred to as nell for my sake (phole & pleo daughters, born two months apart in 2003. let's say in june and august). i imagine prue finds out she's pregnant again at the END of season five (which i'm gonna put at november of 2003) so like. yes that's a lot of pregnancy plots but like. these are grown women who do want families deal with it. BY THE WAY as far as who lives in the manor by this point i think phoebe has moved out to sorta distance herself from seeing PO3 in power she loves and supports them but it's still a little hurtful you know even though she's glad her sisters are still having that power. paige has moved in and well okay there's three babies at this point so obviously someone had to move out
prue also moves out shortly before the birth of her second daughter but it doesn't stop the fact that she does go into labor And Give Birth in the halliwell manor anyways. so towards the end of season six prue gives birth to another baby girl (in august of 2004) who she names uhhh. let's see. p name let's go with ummm. pippa. OKAY so pippa is born in august of 04. so far we got trish (01), honey (03), nell (03) & pippa (04).
OKAY SO. i'm pretty sure pleo's second kid is born in 2004 still so like. boom piper had nell and now she's pregnant again hmmmm what is she pregnant with. you know i don't HATE piper having boys in general i just don't agree with the firstborn being a boy so you know what. boom piper and leo's second child is born in december of 04 and it's a boy! and his name issss i don't want to just reuse canon names hmm. piper gets to stick with the p theme here so you know what. his name is phineas halliwell. so like. december of 04 we're meeting phineas.
i am a little lost in the sauce because like. i don't remember which season we're in. i'm assuming we're in season 7 now. i'm sure i've fudged the timeline BUT now we're in 2005. mid-2005 i want to say. so that means paige has had her romance with brody and you know i didn't like them as a couple but i think it's fun and tragic if they have a kid but she doesn't know until after he dies so like. yeah okay brody dies paige realizes she's pregnant because she and phoebe have a talk and phoebe talks about how she thinks she's pregnant again and paige is like. hey. haha. i'm going through those things too. sisterisms they take a test together and yes they are in fact both pregnant. yay bestieisms i think paige does not enjoy the thought of being a single mom in fact i think there's a very real possibility she thought about aborting but ultimately decided not to.
ANYWAY UHH. okay. plot plot plot reasons yadda yadda. paige has her baby in early 2006 and i think it's a boy (paige has always been the most up in the air for me in terms of kids because she didn't grow up with siblings at all but like.) yeah. anyway. baby boy matthews is born in like. february or whatever i don't think she'd stick to the p theme because she didn't like. grow up with it. SOOO idk fucking. let's go francis. or something. we call him frankie ANYWAY frankie matthews (06). frankie if you will. phoebe is also having her baby and that is also a boy is named let's see. options are benjamin (after cole's father) or charles. after charlotte warren. okay so we're going charlie halliwell (06. he and frank are like. a month apart). so 2006 brings us frankie (february) and charlie (march). twinnem or whatever.
OKAY. SO. prue has her final baby in mid 2007 and it's another girl i'm sorry i'm a prue girlmom truther ANYWAY. youngest baby girl is named primrose which isn't much of a prue name #tome but andy chose it. SO prue overall has patricia (trish) born in 2001, pippa (pip pip) born in 2004 and primrose (prim or rosie depending on the parent) born in 2007.
piper still has another child also born in 2007 and this time it'sssssssssssssss another boy and this boy is named preston so for piper we've got penelope (nell) born in 03, phineas (phin) born in 04 & preston (prez) born in 07. actually you know what. fuck it piper also has another surprise daughter born in 09 and her name will be petunia. do i think piper wants four kids. not necessarily but come on not everyone is going to have the perfect 3 lineup IN FACT
phoebe also goes on to have another kid and this one is her baby girl and she's already broken the P tradition with naming charlie a c name but like. it fits Her tradition of them having her and cole's initials. anyways. baby girl is named poppy yes you are sensing a theme. anyway. phoebe has persephone (honey) born in 03, charlie born in 06 and poppy (...poppy) born in hmmm i want to make her the youngest so let's say she was born in 2011.
paige does meet henry and they do fall in love and he's a stepdad to frankie and like. as funny as it is paige had accidental twins i feel like i've already done my twin quotient SO when they accidentally get pregnant it's in 2010 and it's a baby girl let's goooo belladonna (bella or donny depending on who she's talking to) also a flower name yes. SO. they have frankie born in 06 and then bella surprises them in 2010.
