A/N: Hey all, here's a little background with this fan fic. This is a what if Andy got Prue pregnant when she was 16? Well in my story, Grams made Prue give the baby up, now the baby, now grown up, has turned 18 and has access to her records, and has gone to find her birth parents. It's set in season 6, so there's lots of Chris goodness. Set after Phoebe looses her active powers, but before Witch Wars. And Piper isn't at Magic School. Lets face it, Piper wouldn't accept just hiding away from it all! Enjoy!
A Link With the Past
Danielle Kent was just standing, starring at the house. This was the right address, but she probably wasn't there. Her birth certificate and adoption papers had said that her birth mother was Prue Halliwell, and was 16 when she had been born, so she didn't blame her for giving her up. She just wanted to know her family.
Danielle didn't have the fairytale version of an adoption. She had been adopted, but then in less than a year the couple who had adopted her, got pregnant when they thought that it wasn't possible, so they gave her back. So she spent most of the last 18 years bouncing from foster home to foster home all around the state of California until yesterday when she turned 18. She had graduated from High School last month and wanted to go to college, but it had looked like it would never happen, but now that she found her family... who knows.
She mad up her mind and knocked on the door and thought, "Now or never."

Piper heard the knock on the door while going from the living room to the kitchen and when she opened the door she was shocked, not just because there was a girl there, but if she hadn't known any better she'd have thought it was, "Prue." She whispered.
The girl sighed, and started, "I was told this was where..." She almost started, took in a deep breath and started again, "My name's Danielle Kent. Um, I'm looking for Prue Halliwell."
Piper's eyes teared up, "How did you know Prue?"
"Well, I didn't but, well, she's my biological mother."
"Oh my god!" Piper said, "Come in. I can see Prue through your entire being. That hair, the way that you through yourself into this, that is exactly like Prue."
"Really?"
"Yes, oh, I'm sorry, I'm Piper, one of your three Aunts. Then there's Phoebe and Paige."
"I guess my grandparents liked Ps, huh?"
"Yeah, you could say that. Come on in!"
"Where is Prue?" Danielle asked She probably doesn't live in the same house as her sister!
Piper looked, and sighed, "Why don't we sit down." She said as they entered the conservatory, "And I'll explain it to you." She picked up Wyatt. "This is your baby cousin Wyatt. He's two." She tried avoiding telling this poor girl that her mother was... "Prue, well, she passed away, almost four years ago."
"Oh," Danielle said, "How? She was only, what 30?"
Piper almost started to cry, "Oh, it's still hard to talk about, well Prue and I were attacked, and Prue was killed, and I almost died myself."
"My god! Well, do you know anything about my father, he's not listed on the birth Certificate."
"Oh, it could only have been one man. Andy Trudeau Your mom and he had the rebel lovers thing going on, and they would have been together forever, but... your father was an Inspector in the San Fransisco Police Department. He died saving Prue, myself, and your Aunt Phoebe."
The girl looked down at the floor, "So I am an orphan."
Piper made her look at her, "You will never be alone again. You have three aunts, one uncle, my husband Leo, One nephew, this great guy right here, and another on the way. You are definitely not alone in this world. How about this. I am going to call Phoebe and Paige, we'll have a big family dinner, and we can look at old pictures of your mom and dad. Would you like to help me? I don't move as gracefully as I used to." Piper smiled at her newfound niece through the tears in her eyes thinking, We still have a part of our sister.

A Half hour later Piper was on the phone with Phoebe, out of hearing range of Danielle, who was stirring a pudding that they were making for desert, "I just found out, all right. Grams must have done some Hocus Pocus to make us forget."
"All right, but how can you be sure that it really is Prue and Andy's daughter?"
"Well, she showed me her birth certificate for one, and she looks so much like Prue, I almost fell over."
"But, when should we let her in on the family secret, I mean, she's Prue's daughter, but what power does she have? Has she shown any signs?"
Piper sighed, "No. And that means one of two things. One, that grams bound her powers when Danielle was a baby, or two, she knows about it, but knows how to hide and control it."
"What about the book? Do we show her the book?"
"We have to, it's her heritage as much as ours. I think we should all eat dinner, get to know her, show her old pictures, tell her about Andy and Pure, and then we show her the book and explain the Halliwell line to her."
"What about Chris, do we explain the whole son from the future time travel thing?"
"I think that we should wing it. Explain the family history first, the book, our powers, before we get into the sticky details."

Danielle sighed, her parents were dead, she should be sad, she told herself, but she couldn't. Here she was surrounded by family. She just learned that her new Aunt Phoebe was the colomnist Ask Phoebe, she had been reading her advice for years. And her Aunt Piper owned the Club P3, she had heard about that club, it was notorious for getting all these great bands in. Maybe she could convince Piper into letting 18 plus in, doing the whole stamp on the hand thing for 18 through 20! If not, she could always work as a bartender, and still get to see the bands.
She had just learned that Paige was working at a temp-agency. That must be a neat job, being able to try a bunch of different stuff. Apparently they all lived in this one house! Well, it was San Fransisco, and it must be really expensive, but that meant that there were no extra rooms, so much for asking for a place to stay while she was in college. But right now she was enjoying hearing the stories of Prue.
"Well, Prue was engaged for a while to this guy named Roger, but he was a total Jackass, and Prue broke it off. See, they worked together as curators at a museum in the city, and well, he stole all her work, took total credit, and got the promotion, so she broke up with him, and made a bit of a show, the way she told it."
"What about my Parents?"
"Oh, they were so meant for each other. Andy lived three houses down and we grew up together, and they were best friends, until they were 14, when Andy got the nerve to ask Prue out, of course at 14 that involved sitting together at lunch, going to school dances and such, and they were together all the way through their high school graduation, where they split up, because Andy had gotten into Colombia University, and Grams made Prue go to college here. So they didn't see each other, until about 8 years ago, when Andy transferred back to San Fransisco. They would have gone all the way, if... Well you know."
Danielle nodded, she had finished her desert, and now she was just playing with the whip cream that was left. Just then right in front of her, out of nowhere a large man appeared, with a cross bow, aiming at Leo.
TBC...
