A/N : Prue is 30, Piper is 27, Phoebe is barely 24. The year is 2000.
Prue's cell rang, and she sat on the couch. "Hello ?" "Prue it's Darryl." "Hey Darryl. What's up ?" "Both of Matthew's parents were killed earlier today." "What ? How ?" "They were thrown over a banister." "Oh god." "The grandmothher, is dead to." Prue couldn't believe it. "Oh no...What happened to her ?" "She committed suicide." "Does Matthew have anyone else ?" "No. Which means..." "Etheir we adopted him, or he goes in foster care." "Right...would you three be willing to take him ?" "You know it's not that easy. Our lives are different than anyone elses." "I know, but think about it Prue. You would saving him from the system." "We'll think about." "Ok, let me know in the next 4 hours." "Ok, bye." "Bye." Hanging up, Prue looks over at baby Matthew.
She then calls both of her sisters. Phoebe seemed enthusiastic, but Piper was skeptical. After the calls, she decides to go up to the book of shadows. Putting Matthew on the floor, Prue begins the summoning spell. Grams appears smiling but frowns seeing Prue's face.
"Hello darling. What's wrong ?" "What I'm I suppose to do ?" "Take him as your own." "What about demons and warlocks ?" "The elders will protect him with a protection spell." "For how long ?" "Till his 13th birthday." "Then what ?" "He can decide on if he wants powers or not." " I just hope I don't regret this." "You won't darling trust me. I have to go. Blessed be." Prue sighed, and picked up Matthew. "Oh sweetie, I hope I can do this right." Kissing him on the cheek, she calls Darryl. "Come to a disision ?"
"Yes, we'll take him." "Are you sure ?" "Yes." "Ok, tomarrow you have a adoption hearing then." "Ok, what time ?" "Let me check...looks like 4 :00 pm." "Alright, we will be there. Bye." "Bye." Prue decides to take Matthew to Piper's club. Getting in the car, she drives to P3. Once there she gets out, and goes inside to Piper. "Hey Prue...hey Matthew. What you guys doing here ?" "I'm adopting him." "What ? Prue..." "It's the right thing to do. Even Grams said so." "Oh I see. What about me and Phoebe ?"
" He will be my responsibility." Piper looked at her sadly. "I hope you know what your doing." "I do. Remember I pratically raised Phoebe." "I about your job at 415 magazine ?" "I have a month of vacation time built up." "That's good." Matthew's loud cry lets Prue know he hungry. "Shhh, ok let me get your bottle." Getting it from the diaper bag, she gently sticks it in his mouth. "There we go. Good boy." Piper watches in silence as Prue feeds her soon to be son. It was a beautiful sight to watch.
Phoebe walks into to P3, and smiles at the sight before her. "Aww, Prue your so good with him." "Good to know, considering I will soon be his mother." "What are you talking about ?" "I'm adopting him Pheebs." "I was hoping you would." "There will be of changes. I hope both of you understand, Matthew will be my main concern for awhile." Both Piper and Phoebe nod. "Alright, you guys wanna go with me to babies r us, to help pick out things for him ?" Both nod, and so they decide to all ride in Prue's car. 10 minutes later, they get to the store, park and go in. Prue grabs a buggy, and sits Matthew in it. Phoebe looks around the store. "Where to first ?" Prue looks at her. "Bottles and diapers." They find the aisle, and start looking. Prue picks out 3 packs huggies. Piper finds some Playtex bottles. "Prue, are these bottles ok ?" "Yeah, those will due." Piper tosses them in the buggy. Prue puts a container of Parent's Choice formula in the buggy. "Ok, let's go pick out my lil man some clothes." Phoebe looks puzzled. "How old is he ?" "Darryl told us 5 months." Prue sees footsie outfits with baby animals. She puts 4 in the buggy. "Now for bibs." Prue strolls over to the bib section. She picks out 3, and puts them in the buggy. Phoebes see a sea dreams crib soother. "Can we get this ?" "Sure, he'll love that." Piper gets a idea. "Hey, I think they sell crib sets here. Wanna get one today ?" "Yeah, good idea." Prue picks out a crib set and more toys, then goes to pay. "Your total is $985.56." Prue writes a check then they all leave. Matthew is drops Piper and Phoebe off to get their cars, then goes back to the manor. Once at the manor, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe begin to set up his crib. "Thanks for helping guys." Piper puts her arm around Prue. "Our pleasure."
