A/N:I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who keeps reviewing this. It's already over a hundred and I haven't even made it to chapter 10.


Phoebe just looked at her sister and just laughed. "Prue you're not going to give up being a witch its part of who you are."

Prue just looked at her. "Piper said it best. We are blessed as witches and cursed as women."

Piper just frowned. "I was upset because someone ruined my wedding and a little drunk when I said that, and I was wrong."

"Were you?" Prue asked. "Melinda was burned at the stake orphaning at least one kid. And we all know what happened to Mom."

"Grams got to see Mom grow up and us." Phoebe pointed out. "There's no guarantee that taking your power and memories would even work."

Prue just looked at her. "Witchcraft 101 Pheebs as long as we were in the dark about our powers we were safe."

Piper just looked at her not believing she actually has to defend the supernatural side of their life. "Prue this is who we are. And even if we do this because you will need the power of three to do this it still doesn't mean you're safe. There are muggings and car accidents no one really knows how long they have."

"I just want to see my baby grow up." Prue said.

Piper just smiled. "And you will. You're not going to be like mom fighting all alone we won't let you. You have me and you have Phoebe we'll never quit on you. Leo is your whitelighter it's his job to protect you and I very much doubt Mr. Superalien is going to let anything happen to the mother of his child and Cole…"

Phoebe added on. "And Cole will support me by supporting you." She said not knowing how Prue will feel about him.

Prue just got up to go outside. "I need some air."


Clark sat at the conference table with everyone else as Perry laid out the story Perry the Pit-bull was working on. "Now the police and the press don't want to acknowledge it but there is a serial killer roaming the streets in San Francisco who has a thing for young women between 20-25." Perry just started handing out files. "Elizabeth Greeves, Maria Xanatos, Emily Mertz, all found dead stabbed once with a double edged knife."

"Won't this scream serial killer to the police?" One of them asked.

"Maria and Emily were found within 10 minutes of each other halfway across the city no one is that quick." Perry explained why the police haven't ruled it like that. "They believe the knife is just a new weapon popular among robbers. So we're going to look at the victim's find out what connections they've had if any. So keep your eyes open and report back to me if you get anything."

Clark went to work and decided to look into the knife the one thing they had in common. Clark ran a search for it and the most common thing was an athame, a double edged blade used to hunt witches and believed to take their powers. Clark pulls out his cell phone and calls Prue seeing Abby gave it back to him after borrowing it earlier today.

"Hello"

Clark smiled. "Hey Prue it's me."

"Why are you calling so early aren't you at work?"

Clark just nodded not that she could see it. "I am. I'm working my first story as we speak."

"So why are you calling me?"

Clark just whispered into his phone. "It's starting to sound like something you and your sisters handle."

"OK so can we meet somewhere in private where you can tell me."

Clark just thought about it. "Where would private be I'm still new here."

"Meet me at your apartment I know just the place." Abby said with a grin.


Cole was in the underworld it's his version of a morning jog using his demonic powers so he doesn't get flabby when actual demons show up to trash the place. He shimmers behind a rock seeing two bounty hunters having a talk.

"So is the Source actually marrying a couple today?" One asked.

Cole just rolled his eyes there goes any spine that guy had.

"Apparently" The other man replied. The charmed ones are at home safe and sound so he's not getting a better chance according to his chameleon there."

Both bounty hunters shimmered out and Cole just frowned knowing this isn't good.


Abby waited at Clark's apartment door disguised as Prue. Paige came home after her hours cut and saw her again. Paige just smiled and put on her best front. "Hey I remember you from the other day. Prue right?"

Abby just nodded. "That's right Prue Halliwell."

Paige just looked at her she seemed different and she has a pretty good idea why. "So I take it your sister told you what I did."

Abby just glared at her and decided to let this mortal explain herself.

Paige just looked at her. "I kissed Clark I don't know if he's your boyfriend or not but it wasn't real and it didn't mean anything."

Abby just looked at her and smiled. "You like him don't you."

"He seems nice enough." Paige replied. "And if I thought I stood a chance I would in a heartbeat. But I'm pretty sure he wants you."

Abby just developed a twisted smile and was set to bury her but Clark showed up.

"Paige, Prue" Clark said.

Paige just waved him goodbye as she went for her apartment.

Abby just smiled. "You ready to go Clark?"

Clark nodded. "Sure just where are we going anyway?"

"Place I know it's not far from here."


Prue just roamed the park with her camera taking pictures. She sees parents playing with their children or just watching them play. She sees a red headed woman walk up to her.

"Can you take a picture of my family?" The woman asked.

"Sure" Prue replied seeing the woman's family line up with a dad a 3 year old boy and an infant daughter in her mother's arms. "Say nuclear family."

Prue took the picture and the woman put her baby back in a carriage. The woman gave Prue her email address so she can send a photo to her.

"Your first?" The woman asked.

Prue just smiled wryly. "How did you know?"

"I recognized the confused look from the mirror." The woman answered. "You're thinking of something big, life altering big for the sake of the baby."

Prue just nodded.

"Is it smoking?"

"No"

"Drinking?"

"No"

"Drugs?"

"This is getting uncomfortable" Prue replied.

"Just two more is it illegal in anyway?"

"No"

"Do you have a better life because of it?"

Prue had to think on that one. Did witchcraft give her a better life? There's been so much pain from it their mom died Grams died, Andy died, the whole saga with Cole. But there was a lot of good with it too. She didn't think she would ever reconcile with Phoebe but now they're closer together then they ever were. For all the crap the elders put them through Piper and Leo are both together married and happy and trying to have a baby from the sounds of it which is why she was on the couch last night. And her life was the hardest to judge. Being the oldest she gave up the most and being a witch it was the same thing as her ID could have told you not that long ago. Also Andy's death that one nearly killed her but she recovered from it. There's also been some good with it. Thanks to seeing her past life she abandoned her career at the auction house. She was able to get her dream job as a photographer. She's surrounded by people she loves family and friends and looks down and sees one more and that's a big one. She's going to be a mother with a baby of her very own. It was magic that set it up for it to happen and it was Magic that led her to Clark that day.

"In a way I do." Prue answered.

The woman smiled. "Then don't give it up. Whatever this is it's a part of you so it should be a part of your baby's life too."

Prue just thought about it she's a mortal hardly someone to take advice from. "Thanks for the pep talk but I gotta go."


Prue walked into the manor and saw a unique sight. Piper, Phoebe, Cole and Leo poking around with sticks. "What's going?"

Piper shushed her and froze the room again as Cole walked up to her and started to explain. "You have Chameleons."

Prue just shrugged. "Call an exterminator."

Cole just rolled his eyes. "Not lizard chameleon demonic chameleons. They're the ultimate fly on the wall they can be anything in the house and they're here to make sure you don't do anything about a wedding."

"Hence the poking" Piper added as the clock went off and she froze the room again and unfroze Cole and Leo. "Think junior can help us out?"

Prue just sighed. "With the exception of the superspeed and heat vision I never used the baby's powers on command."

Piper just nodded. "Try"

Prue just focused on her eyes she can do this. Prue feels her eyes do something as she looks at Leo and Cole and quickly looks away. "Damn it wrong one."

"What did you see?" Piper asked.

"Boxers, briefs" Prue answered pointing at Cole and Leo.

Piper just smiled. "Sorry you had to see that."

"I've seen him in a more compromising position." Prue said offhanded remembering last time this power showed up.

Piper looked at her big sister. "When did you catch Leo in a…right the orb crack in the shower."

"Yeah let's go with that." Prue just pointed at Cole seeing he caught on. "Count to 10."

Cole just smirked and kept poking.

Prue concentrates again trying to get the other vision. 'Come on X-ray' Prue smiles seeing nothing but skeletons. She looks around and spots the flaw since when did her lamp have bones. Prue moves her hand in one quick motion and the lamp slams into the wall and turns into a man. "Piper"

Piper moves her hand in one quick movement and froze him again. Prue moves in a blur going upstairs and comes back down putting three crystals on each side of him and keeping a fourth in her hand.

Cole just looks at it. "You've been updating."

Prue just looked at him. "Just taking what I learned from your invisible friend before the triad killed him." Prue turned on the cage as electricity coursed through the chameleon and the crystals as it shouted in pain. "Why are you here?"

The chameleon screamed in pain. "I-I-I was sent."

"For what?" Prue shouted.

"I was sent to spy on the Charmed ones after Shax failed to kill you."

Phoebe looked at her sisters. "How did none of us notice the lamp was alive?"

Leo frowned. "He smashed the real lamp and replaced it."

Prue glared at him and restarted the cage. "That was our mother's." Prue lifted the crystal and the chameleon was winded. "Cole said you're here to make sure we stay put. Why?"

"A dark wedding" The chameleon said. "The Source didn't want you interfering."

Piper just looked at him. "Which one of us is the blushing bride?"

"No one a shape shifter is." The chameleon replied.

Prue realized what this meant and hopes to god she's wrong as she reactivates the cage. "Who's the groom?"

The chameleon thrived until Prue released the crystal. "I don't know some great force of good they say he's a god."

Phoebe eyes shot up as Prue dropped the cage and Cole hit the chameleon with an energy ball vanquishing him.

Piper looked at Prue. "You know him better then anyone where would Clark be right now."

Prue just shrugged. "I don't know. Leo, Cole go to his farm see if he stopped by to visit. Phoebe take my cell phone he's in my contacts. Piper get the number to the Bay Mirror see if you can find him there I'm going to his apartment."

Piper went to say something but Prue disappeared in a blur. Piper wonders what Prue meant…wait a minute when Prue went to Smallville she took Cole while Leo and her was…oh god she saw them having sex has to be why she took Cole. They need to have a long talk after they save Clark.


Prue moved in a blur and moved to Clark's door and knocked. "Come on Clark open the door."

Paige opened her door hearing the racket. "How the hell did you beat him back?"

Prue looked at the other girl. "You Clark's friend…"

Paige rolled her eyes. "Yeah me the girl who kissed him last night still doesn't answer my question."

Prue glared at her. "You kissed him."

Paige watched Prue's eyes she could have sworn they just glowed red for a second. "Yes your sister saw it last night and I talked to you about it earlier before you left with Clark on your date."

Prue was scared but buries it. The shape shifter has already made her move. "Where did they go?"

Paige just shrugged. "I don't know I never asked." She said. "What's going on?"
Prue just frowned. "Its nothing I'll just wait for him." Paige went in her apartment and Prue opened the door with some strength. If she hadn't been a nervous wreck she would have been right there when Cole came back and found the chameleon in seconds. She entered the apartment to grab something to scry for but since she was kept off the radar she doubts she'll find him. She grabs his red jacket Clark always wears that thing. She grabs it and falls back as she sees in black and white Clark talking to a fake Prue at a restaurant and then in the otherworld.

Prue comes back to the present feeling light headed. "Good baby"


Clark was sitting with Abby going through the research. Abby just looked through everything. "This is weird. If I didn't know any better I'd say Balthazar was behind this."

"Balthazar" Clark asked.

"Cole" Abby Clarified.

Abby just smiled. "So is this all you wanted to talk about?"

Clark just shrugged of course not but Prue is the one who put boundaries on. "Yeah…that's it."

Abby smiled seeing she's got him. "Clark I think we really need to talk about us."

"What do you want to talk about?" Clark asked.

Abby just smiled. "Clark how do you feel about me?"

Clark just looked at her strange question she knows how he feels she's the one keeping away. Clark just listens to the noises around him. "Two heartbeats"

Abby just looked at him confused. "I beg your pardon."

"Two heartbeats me and you there should be three." Clark explained as he grabbed Abby. "You're not Prue."

Abby sighed. "All this work and your little groin spawn gave me away."

Prue moved in a blur and arrived at the restaurant. "Clark get out of there now!"

All the customers got to their feet and conjured energy balls.

Prue just rolled her eyes and ducked for cover The Source didn't leave much to chance here did he. Clark got up and unleashed a blast of heat vision. Taking down 6 of them and hitting every demon he could in a fast streak. Clark knows this is wrong but he can't let Prue get hit. Clark stops the heat vision and the fake Prue ran up and kissed him on the lips.

Clark looks at her as his feet give. "What did you…" Clark passed out and fell to the floor. Prue watched and saw her double wave at her and shimmer off with Clark.

Prue watches the last of the demons shimmer and blink out.


Prue storms into the manor. "They got him."

Everyone else just pouted this is bad. Piper looked to Leo. "So what do we do now?"

Leo just shrugged. "There isn't much we can do. We have no idea where he is."

"He's in the underworld." Prue answered and added off the looks she was getting. "The baby has Phoebe's powers it gave me a premonition."

Cole just groaned this is bad. "Your powers will be greatly diminished if you go down there."

Prue just looked at him. "We have to try. I saw some of what Clark could do and I mean really do. He wiped out a dozen upper level demons in mere moments by looking at them with heat vision if the Source gets Clark on his side the world is over. This is too big to walk away from we have to go now."

The girls just frowned seeing how serious Prue was. Piper spoke first. "Leo take us down."

"Not yet I have to get something first." Prue said. "Cole take Piper and Phoebe down. Leo I'll be right back."


Darryl Morris was leaning back on his desk looking through the records for a series of murdered girls the captain said dismiss it but this feels like witchcraft to him. He's taken back when Prue suddenly appears in his office and almost falls out his chair. "Prue you know you can't use your powers in a police station. What if someone had seen you?"

"No one saw me." Prue assured him. "I need to borrow something off you."

Daryl sat there and listened to Prue's request. "Why?"

"It's the apocalypse I need it to save the world." Prue answered as her justification.

Darryl just looked at her. "It's a package deal Prue I'm going too since none of you have ever used it."

"We're going to hell." Prue warned him.

Darryl just shrugged. "I could use some heat its cold outside."


Cole Piper and Phoebe looked around the underworld.

Piper was the first one to speak. "OK so where are we going."

Cole just smirked. "I got an idea. Find some cover."

Piper and Phoebe hid behind a rock as Cole screamed and transformed into Balthazar and the demon just assaulted the underworld until two demons showed up and hit him with lightning and knocked him out. Piper and Phoebe just watched as Piper caught on. "Demonic bounty hunters heading straight to the Source follow them."

Piper and Phoebe followed the bounty hunters and they led them right to the source as the see a blond standing next to an unconscious Clark as the source speaks with the oracle watching.

"In the beginning, we were damned, and through damnation, we found freedom, power, and purpose. As I unite you today, I remind you of those gifts." The Source ties Clark and Abby's hands together. "And in your union, may these gifts increase so your powers may grow in the service of evil. So be it."

Phoebe just frowned a single tear running down her eye. "We're too late. All the good he would have done was just wiped out."

Piper just smiled and aimed at the obvious bottle blond. "Not if we get him a quickee divorce."

Piper moved her hands and instead of blowing her up it just blasted Abby back a couple inches. "Ooh Cole really wasn't kidding about weakened powers here."

Phoebe just backed up with her this was bad. "Any bright ideas?"

Piper just shrugged "That was my bright idea. At least we still have a couple hours before Clark." Clark just rises up with a dark look in his eyes.

"Not with how I run a wedding." The Source informed them.

Piper and Phoebe just backed up. "Clark we're your friends try to remember that."

Clark stopped in his tracks for a moment and just replied coldly. "I'm her husband not your friends."

Piper just turned to her sister. "You got any ideas."

Phoebe pulled out an athame Cole insisted she bring with her. "Keep him off me."

Piper stuck out her hands and froze Clark for about a second before he broke free. "Of course he can work through my powers here."

Phoebe stabbed the bounty hunters in quick succession as they burst into flames before they can react. She went after Abby but was hit with a bolt of lightning from the Source and knocked to the floor. Clark walked through the freezes and eventually got his hand around Piper's throats and threw her into the air and onto the floor as she crawls over to Phoebe.

The Source just had a smile under the cloak this ends today. "Clark kill them."

Clark just had a smile usually reserved for Kal. "With pleasure"

Clark's eyes turned red but he just started walking to Piper and Phoebe as Prue ran into the throne room at full speed and kicked Clark in the head sending him crashing into the wall and straight through it. Prue goes for Abby at superspeed but is grabbed from behind and launched into the air by Clark.

Prue gets to her feet and sees two Clarks.

"Neither of you say a word." The Source warned knowing the last time this plan was foiled because of three little words. The Source turned to Prue. "Don't want to vanquish the wrong one."

Prue just developed a smirk. "I won't…Leo!"

Leo orbed in with Darryl who wasted no time and shot each Clark as Prue instructed. The bullet deflected off the first Clark and Prue wasted no time in incinerating the other Clark.

The Source shouted in anger as he lifted Prue off the floor with telekinesis. "You dare!"

Clark moved in a blur and punched the Source in the face knocking him back and through a wall as Clark catches Prue. "Excuse me for a minute."

He puts her down then disappears in a blur. Prue walked over to her sisters and helped them up to their feet.

"Where did your friend go?" Daryl asked.

Piper just heard loud crashes from outside. "Is he OK out there."

Prue just nodded. "I think he's working out a bit of anger."

Leo was healing Phoebe from the lightning bolt.

A loud crash was heard as the Source broke through another wall and landed back in his throne room. The cloak was down and the sister's saw their enemies face it was pale white and mutilated from a battle long ago. The Source crawled back to his feet and wrapped itself in a force field like skin as Clark blurred back in and started running around him in a circle continually punching him. Prue watches the effort and sees that it's hurting him so she runs along the other side of him joining the assault.

The Oracle watched in horror as The Source was being overwhelmed as Clark and Prue added blasts of heat vision to their attacks and The Source's force field was starting to fade. She warned him not to go after him why didn't he listen. "Shimmer out before they kill you!"

Piper blasts the Oracle and she's knocked off her feet and into the wall. "Quiet"

The Source just shouted using the last of the energy he can and hit them both with weak energy balls that stunned them both and knocked them down. The Source just felt its skin and saw a gash of blood his blood. Before the Source can shimmer out however he is hit with an energy ball by Cole.

Cole hobbles to his feet still weakened from the bounty hunters attack but refuses to give an inch seeing the Source weakened as well. Cole hits his old boss with continual energy balls until he falls to the floor sitting down but in actuality the wall is the only thing keeping him from being a turtle on its back.

Cole sees the Source is running on fumes and makes one last energy ball and focuses on it until it's four times as big as a regular one. The Oracle gets to her feet and sees it and shouts. "No!"

When Cole launches his final attack she runs in and takes the hit vanquishing herself but saving the Source who flames out.


Clark helped Prue get to her feet stunned more then anything. Clark looks over Prue with Superhearing and X-ray their both fine. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" Prue asked.

"I saw what I was doing but I couldn't stop myself." Clark answered.

Prue just put her hand up to stop him. "It's OK I know exactly how you feel. I was put through the fun of a dark wedding too."

Leo just smiled. "And besides we don't have to worry about The Source anytime soon because you, Cole and Prue hurt him really bad."

Cole just looked at the whitelighter idealist idiot. "Not bad enough though he'll be back."

Phoebe just shrugged happy. "So he's gone for now isn't he. We should take advantage of that shouldn't we?"

They all just nod in agreement and smile as Piper turns to Leo. "Take us home Mr. Wyatt."


Later that night Prue knocked on her father's door.

Victor opened the door wondering who it was at this hour and saw his oldest. "Well this is a surprise come in, come in."

Prue sat down on the couch and Victor joined her. "Dad I understand now. I saw Piper and Phoebe's baby books they were never finished."

Victor just nodded having a feeling they wouldn't be. "To Grams the only book that ever mattered to her was the Book of Shadows. I don't want you to ending up like your mother."

Prue just looked at him. "You're afraid I'll die and it will be another baby raised without its mother."

Victor just nodded. "I didn't want you to make the same mistakes she did."

"I'm not." Prue assured him. "I have something she never did."

"What's that?" Victor asked.

Prue smiled. "I have Piper, Phoebe, and Leo. I have Clark whom nearly beat the Source of all Evil to death just for touching me." She takes a knife and stabs her hand as the blade just bends on the skin. "I have a baby who's going to do everything it can to protect me and its father. I'm going to be OK dad I have a family and I know they won't let anything happen to me or the baby when she or he gets older. Magic is a part of me. Can you accept that?"

Victor just nodded and hugged her. "I can accept that I want to be in your lives, you, your sisters, and my grandchild's. But me and Clark will be having a talk at some point."


Phoebe was wrapped in a sheet going through old baby photos. That premonition from earlier is bothering her. Phoebe jumped a bit when a hand touched her shoulder. She turned around and saw that it was Cole. "Cole don't do that."

Cole just put his hands up. "Sorry, what are you doing?"

Phoebe just looked up. "I had a premonition of a baby I thought it was me Prue or Piper but it wasn't none of the pictures match up."

"Maybe it was Prue's baby. Most of your premonitions do come from the future." Cole guessed.

Phoebe just shrugged. "Could be but mom was holding her."

Cole just shrugged and kissed her shoulder working his way to her neck. "You mean the same woman we saw a few weeks back at Piper's wedding it was probably the baby's wiccaning now come back to sleep…please."

Phoebe couldn't argue that and just followed Cole.


Clark heard a knock on the door he was about to go to the fortress but then knocking started. He opens the door and sees Prue. "Prue what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to check in on you." Prue replied. "See how you're holding up."

"I'm fine." Clark assured her.

Prue nodded if she's fine she knows he is. "I mean emotionally."

Clark just shrugged. "I don't know. I mean I killed a lot of people today."

"You vanquished a lot of demons there's a difference." Prue assured him.

"Is there?" Clark asked. "They screamed just like people when I killed them."

Prue grabbed Clark's face and got him to look at her. "There's a big difference between a demon and a mugger with a gun. Demons can't be reasoned with or controlled they just keep killing and doing evil until a source of good in this case you stops them."

"And Cole" Clark asked. "He was throwing those demonic energy balls wasn't he but he's a good person."

Prue sighed. "Clark Cole is half demon half man. Even at that there was no less then 3 times at least when I've wanted to vanquish him and I still worry. Clark you're a good person and you did the right thing. You saved my life and you saved everyone you are a good person don't doubt that not now or ever you could have snapped my sister's necks like twigs when you were evil but you just threw them around to stall because you couldn't do it even with all that evil in you. You're a source of good don't ever doubt that."

The two just looked in each other eyes and got closer Prue didn't let go of his face and just leaned up and kissed him. Clark deepened the kiss and wrapped his arms around her pulling her closer to him. The two broke apart for air and Prue was shocked not believing she just did that. He kisses better then she remembers. Fight or flee took over and Prue chose the later disappearing in a blur.
