When the Charmed Ones traveled to 2009 to visit their future selves, Piper discovered that she had a little girl, Melinda. Although she is the youngest child of Piper and Leo, in this future, Melinda was there only child. Piper and Leo were also divored in this time so Melinda was going back and forth between her parents.

Piper showed Prue a picture of Melinda in a pink and purple ballet costume, suggesting she liked to dance and/or took lessons.

In the wake of Nathaniel Pratt's witch hunt taking over this future, her parents had forbidden Melinda from using her powers in order to protect her. So no harm would come to her if nobody found out she was a witch. Melinda agreed not to use her magic not becuase she understood but becuase she didn't want to upset either of her parents.

In this future, her name was Melinda Wyatt, taking her father's surname. Because Leo was still a Whitelighter in this future, meaning Melinda was part Whitelighter as well.
