The Right Mothers (Phoebe Halliwell)

Request: the sisters had to protect a magical innocent/creature. demon attacks and kills the innocent after the innocent grabs reader, the guilt seems to affect reader a lot. a few days later phoebe and reader are making breakfast, all lovey dovey. nice to have sometime together uninterrupted and then reader collapses and they don't know why. later they find out reader is pregnant. maybe smth the creature did to continue their generations

The Charmed Ones had a rhythm you couldn't deny. They were experienced at their craft and dealing with demons, but they'd had to adjust to adding another witch to the well-oiled machine once you and Phoebe got together. You were a lovely addition, a portal creating witch. It was a little like having Leo around but for them all. You could redirect attacks when you could create a portal in time. You could get anyone away, including innocents. They would see some miraculous things anyway. You disoriented demons when you caught the right moment. You felt like you fit in so when the most recent innocent was brought back to the manor, you started research. Your gaze kept finding the woman again. 

You couldn't get the picture of her on the ground, desperately clinging to life, to you, out of your head. It had taken all of your strength to pull her up with you and the demon had been immediately behind her. He'd thrown some sort of magic energy at you both. It seemed to hit her then you second-hand, but nothing had happened. 

So Phoebe kept an eye on you while you kept an eye on the innocent. You were online while Piper was at the book. Paige wanted to experiment with a potion to be simply offensive, despite the debate that none of you had ID'd the demon. 

"And you're sure you don't know anything?" you asked the startled woman again. 

Kelsie was drinking some tea thanks to Piper and it had mildly calming effects, also thanks to Piper. "No. I was in New Jersey, working on a story. One minute, I'm blinding by this golden-beige light and the next I'm in San Fransisco." 

"Well, California welcomes you!" Paige chirped from beside the cauldron. 

You sent her a mild glare. "But why would a demon take you across the country? And straight to the Charmed Ones?" 

"Maybe she's bait," Piper offered. 

Phoebe glared at her because the innocent did not need to hear that. You regained Kelsie's attention with a gentle touch to her knee. You didn't notice the look from your empathic girlfriend. "What about family history? Any relation to wicca or Roma or travelers? Are you married?" 

Kelsie thought for a moment then frowned. "No. Yes, I have a husband who's away on business. Actually, he's in Nevada so I'm closer now than I was. My family history is pretty normal. I'm sure it'll stay that way." 

The witches all froze. Phoebe slowly turned to face Kelsie head on. "Are you... pregnant?" 

The innocent's eyes jerked back and forth as if she didn't think it was relevant before and was now worried. "...Yea, ten weeks." 

Everyone took one more moment to think before changing tactics. Paige started a fetal protection potion, even though Piper said it couldn't be done. You and Piper started searching fertility or child snatching demons. You held Phoebe's hand once you found a page and started looking. You knew she had issues with child-bearing in the past. The two of you had also discussed adopting but that would be too dangerous for a non-magical child. Piper's children could defend themselves to a point. 

At one point, Kelsie had to go to the bathroom. 

"Anything?" Piper called out miscellaneously. 

You laid down on top of your computer. "I can't tell you how many dark rituals involve fetal parts. Demons that work for Upper Level Demons to do the rituals, reproductive Darklighters, an evil, immortal witch who steals children from the unworthy because her child was killed." You covered your face with your palms. "We're shooting in the dark, ladies."
