Turns out when Patty made that deal with Nicholas he took half of her unborn baby's soul as collateral without anyone knowing. Phoebe was only half a soul, half a personality. When the sisters vanquished him they lost any chance of Phoebe becoming w...
A/N: So, there is are timeline jumps this chapter. I don't want to spend too much time on her (their?) childhood so I'm just going to 'highlight' on certain areas and differences before heading into canon. Some of those highlights will be on major things that happened, sister and gram bonding, background for the siblings rivalries (ex: Phoebe going after someone Piper likes & Prue's animosity S1E1), and how those change now that Sophia is also there and influencing Phoebe before the merger.
Prepare yourself for several time skips!

February 1978
Something was wrong. She felt like she was forgetting something, something important. Her memory was foggy as if something was blocking it and she knew just who to blame for it, Chronos. She hadn't even been able to gain control again in months and she was sure it had something to do with how long she had stayed when Paige was born. It was like her . . .their . . . whatever, this body was fighting there being two of them. She was quickly coming to realize that just because she had managed to do it once didn't mean she could just do it again.
It was the end of February when she woke up feverish, her toddler body doused in sweat and aching. She cried out her throat sore and she heard as Grams came into the room mumbling in frustration about how Patty just wouldn't listen. She cried out again and Grams head snapped up from the bottle she was shaking. She heard as it dropped to the floor and her quick steps as she screamed her little lungs out hoarsely. "Goddess above." Grams rushed to her seeing the perspiration covering her. It wasn't long before her eyes closed.
The next time she opened her eyes she was in a stale white room encased in clear plastic with the smell of antiseptic, bleach, and steel burning at her little nose. She could see where the needle entered her skin and hear the sound of a heart monitor as her hearing adjusted before she heard her. Grams was sobbing softly in the corner of the room and it was then she remembered that the February after Paige was born Patty died fighting a water demon that would live on until they gained their magic. Days would pass and while Grams, Prue, and Piper would go to her funeral she would remain in the hospital from lead poisoning. Phoebe had been eating paint chips while she wasn't watching and it nearly killed them both.

Try as she did, her and Prue only butted heads as the years continued to pass. While physically younger it didn't change the fact that even if their were two separate 'Phoebes' in this body neither one of them liked being ordered around especially not her. She was over 30 years old damnit and here was this little kid ordering her around. Phoebe you're not supposed to be there. Phoebe stay where I can see you. Phoebe brush my doll's hair. Phoebe you didn't clean my room right. Phoebe get me more cookies. Phoebe this. Phoebe that. Just because I help Grams around the house doesn't mean I'm the help!
