Summary: This is a sequel to An Unexpected Future. When Piper has a baby, things are looking up. Prue is back, and Paige is getting married to Glen. But can Prue tell her sisters why she is really back? Also, will Phoebe share what her premonition was about?
Power of Four?
… She looked around the room at all the smiling faces. What they didn't know was a sister was going to die, and soon…
Prue looked down at her shoes. She couldn't understand why the elders had sent her back and all three of her sisters were alive. She was happy of course, but she still didn't know if something else was coming, something bigger. "Uh…Prue, you don't look too happy. What's up?" Prue quickly glanced up, and caught Phoebe's glance. She shrugged it off, "Oh nothing. I am happy, I am. But this whole mess with everyone almost dying was just scary." Paige raised her hand, "I did die. Twice!" Prue gave Paige a look, "Thanks… Thank you very much, more to think about!" Paige shrugged her shoulders, "Sure…no problem." And then she noticed that Glen was looking at her in a weird way, "What?...You died…? Twice…?" Glen stared at Paige in astonishment. Paige didn't say anything, and just looked down at the floor. Glen put his hands on Paige's face, "Paige…Oh I am so sorry that you had to go through that…I am so sorry." Paige raised her head to look into his eyes, and knew that he was the perfect guy for her. She smiled, "At least I went and saw you before I died the second time." She chuckled, and he laughed too, "Well, promise me that I won't have to go through the pain of losing a wife….and a best friend." Paige smiled, "I love you, and I promise." Piper looked around and caught Phoebe's and Prue's eyes. Nobody could make a promise like that; their lives were dangerous, and Glen would have to see sooner or later that promises like that didn't work.
Prue quietly left the attic, and went down to the kitchen. Phoebe trailed right behind her, "Prue!" Prue turned around, and put on a fake smile, "Yeah?" Phoebe could tell that something was up with Prue, "What is it? What are you hiding?" Prue just looked at Phoebe, and her face fell, "You can't tell Paige or Piper; you just can't." Phoebe nodded her head, "Normally I am not good at keeping secrets, but I could probably make an exception for this one." Prue took Phoebe's hand, and walked with her into the kitchen, "One of our sisters is going to die, and the elders sent me down as a replacement. They even told me that. I just don't understand why." Phoebe nodded her head, "Ok then. We can't just let one of them die….or me die…." Prue nodded her head, "You're right. C'mon. Let's go back up to the attic." They ran back up to the attic, and shut the door. "Prue, Phoebe…What are you guys doing?" Prue made a motion with her hands for everyone to be quiet, "I have to…uh… 'tell' you something." She walked outside the attic door, and went to the box with all the random items in it, and found a mini-chalkboard. Prue walked back inside, and drew an arrow pointing up. Everyone nodded their heads, saying they understood what Prue was talking about, "Ok…" She pointed to the chalkboard. "…sent me back down here, as a …" Prue then erased the arrow, and wrote 'replacement'. She then pointed to it. Piper looked at Prue quizzically, "What the hell does that mean?" Prue just shrugged her shoulders, "Someone is going to …." And then she erased 'replacement' and wrote 'die?' She shrugged her shoulders again, "I don't know exactly if one of you is going to…I don't know." Phoebe stared at Prue, not knowing what to say.
Leo stood up, and looked at the faces searching for answers from him. He shrugged his shoulders, "I really don't know what's going on, but Prue is almost human." Phoebe spoke up, "Well, uh, Leo, aren't you human? Kinda? In a way?" Leo shook his head, "No, not really. I am technically a Guardian Angel, and Prue should technically be too. Well, she's not." Prue nodded, "Leo's right. My white-lighter powers will be taken away from me soon. And I assume I get my original powers back?" Leo nodded his head, "Yes, that would be the case, but I don't understand. The Elders never send anybody back down for long periods of time. Well, except for white-lighters, obviously." Prue shook her head, "I know. It just doesn't make sense." Phoebe raised her eyebrows, "You're telling me." She immediately put her hand to her mouth, as in a-oops-I-didn't-mean-to-say-that-aloud kind of way.
Prue walked over to Piper, "I don't want to be sad anymore, let me hold Melinda." Prue motioned to the baby. Piper teasingly held her daughter close to her, "Why do you think her name is Melinda?" Prue rolled her eyes at her sister, "Give me a break; we have known what her name was going to be since, well, day one. Hand over the baby." Piper stuck her tongue out and giggled, "All right." She kissed Melinda on the forehead, and gave her to Prue, "Hi baby…" Melinda smiled and wrapped her little hand around Prue's index finger. Prue laughed, "She's so adorable!" Piper nodded her head, "She is." She held her hands out, "Okay, give me back my precious angel!" Prue shook her head, "No, mom. You have to rest." She then cuddled the baby, and had the baby wave bye, "Say bye-bye for a few minutes, Melinda. Mommy is going to go rest now." Piper pouted, and Leo lifted her up, "Prue's right. You should rest now." Piper put her head against Leo's chest, and yawned. She could feel the warmth of his body, as she slowly drifted into much-needed sleep. Leo orbed Piper into their room, and laid her underneath the covers. He kissed her gently on the forehead, and whispered, "Love you." And then turned off the lights, and shut the door behind him. Leo walked out into the hall, and noticed a noise coming from Phoebe's room. He walked over to her room, and cracked open the door a little, "Cole!!"
