Chapter 1

"Today is my birthday! Today is my birthday!" Penny sang dancing around in the new dress that Prue had bought her, even though it was midnight.

Prue, Piper, and Phoebe watched her dancing in her own little world, not wanting to stop it. But knowing that she'd be a bear in the morning.

"Penny Halliwell," Prue said, walking into the living room, "I put you to bed an hour ago. Why are you up?"

Penny stopped dancing and looked up at Prue, flashing her dimples and melting her heart.

"I couldn't sleep Mommy. I was too excited for my birthday.:

Prue fought the urge to laugh and let the little one stay up, and instead gathered her into her arms.

"Well, you'll have to go to sleep so we can set up for your party." Prue told her as she brought the little on to Piper and Phoebe.

"Say goodnight Penny."

"Goodnight Momma, Goodnight Mim." Penny said, first hugging Piper and then Phoebe, before Prue took her upstairs.

"Okay Penny, I"ll be right back. Go to sleep." Prue whispered as she covered her up.

"Okay Mommy." Penny murmured as exhaustion overtook her and she drifted off, looking up at Prue with big blue eyes.

"Goodnight Sweet Girl. I love you." Prue smoothed her long brown hair from her face and kissed Penny's forehead.

After she said goodnight to her sisters, and turned the lights off, she went downstairs and saw Leo waiting for her.

"Leo? What-"

"There's no time for that Prue. I was sent down her to tell you the truth about Penny. Who she really is." Leo told her.

Prue sat down on the couch, "She's not anything evil is she?"

"No Prue, she's your daughter, and Andy's. It's a long story and I've been sent down here to show you."

Prue stared at Leo, thinking. Those blue eyes, Andy's eyes and his dimples, were two characteristics that Prue loved about Penny.

"Give me your hands Prue. Let me show you." Leo said, taking her hands.
