Prue reappeared in the Caden's stable, in front of Coeur's stall. She smiled, rubbing the mare's nose.

Caden came running in. "Prue! You're back."

She spun around, and ran into his arms. "God, I missed you."

"I missed you, too," he said, kissing her. He picked her up, and carried her into the house.

"Where is she?" Prue asked as he set her down. She ran into the nursery, where Kaide was awake in her crib. Prue picked the baby up, holding her close. "Hi, sweetheart."

Kaide looked up at her mother and cooed. Prue smiled, and turned back to Caden.

"How long was I gone?" she asked.

"Not long. A few days." he replied. "What was it like?"

"Scary." Prue responded. "I couldn't remember anythiing. There were these three women, they said they were my sisters... And these two little girls. My neices. I kept thinking the baby was Kaide. I must have been going crazy."

"You were, or at least you were starting to." Caden told her. She looked at him, confused, and he went on. "Prue, you need to go back. Don't ask me how I know, because I'm not sure, but you have to take Kaide and go back."

"No." she said, shaking her head. "I'm not leaving you."

He pulled her into a tight hug, careful not to crush Kaide. "I don't want to lose you, baby. But you have to go. You don't belong here, you know that. You've always known, that what we've had here the past eight years couldn't last. This isn't your world."

Prue pulled back, suddenly remembering something. "An hour. The spell only lasts for an hour."

It had taken them forty-five minutes just to walk from the stable to the house, and they'd spent another fifteen just now, talking.

Caden and Prue looked at each other. They knew their time was up.

"I love you." he said as the room filled with light. He kissed her and their baby, and then stepped back.

"I love you, too," she whispered. Then, she disappeared.

Prue returned to the attic in the same spot she'd left it. The only difference was that now, she was holding a tiny baby girl.

She opened her eyes. Suddenly, everything was clear.

"Piper... Phoebe..." she whispered. Gently setting her baby down on the old iron bed, she went over to hug her sisters.

They returned the embrace tightly. "Prue... are you really... back?" Piper asked.

Prue nodded, pulling away. "Yes. I remember everything."

Suddenly, she turned to face her half-sister. "Paige. Thank you, for figuring it out. If you hadn't gone to the Elders..." She let her voice trail off, and hugged Paige.

Paige kissed her sister's cheek. "Welcome home, honey."

Prue crossed the room, and picked up the baby. "This is what was keeping me tied to Cael, the reason I couldn't fully remember." she said, smiling down at her daughter. "You guys wanna meet your neice?"

Piper, Phoebe, and Paige nodded eagerly, hovering over the baby in Prue's arms.

"This is Kaide." she announced.

"Kaide..." Paige repeated. "And all this time I thought you were saying Caden, or just getting Kerri's name wrong, or... Why didn't you tell us you had a kid?"

Prue shrugged. "I was going crazy. Literally. I guess you could call it... extreme seperation anxiety?"

Her sisters laughed, and then Leo orbed into the attic, with Keladry on his shoulders.

"I told you they were up here." the little girl said. Leo gently put her down, and she raced over to Piper.

Prue ran over to hug her brother-in-law. "Didja miss me?" she asked, smiling.

Leo smiled back. "Prue, how...?"

"Paige figured it out." Prue told him.

"We'll explain later." Piper said.

"In the meantime..." Prue said, taking Leo's hand and pulling him over to her sisters. "Come see your neice."

"Neice?" he repeated. She took the baby from Phoebe, and put her in his arms.

"Kaide Patrycja Halliwell. It seems I still had my memory, subconsciously, the whole time I was in Cael, because I named her after Mom. Although Caden was the one who spelled it like that."

"Aunt Prue, are you really back now?" Keladry asked, tugging on Prue's skirt.

"Yes, Kel," Prue answered, picking up the little girl. "I'm really back now, and I'm not going anywhere."

A/N: What did you think? Granted, it was a lot better in my head than on paper, and it took forever what with the writer's block and lack of time and all, but it wasn't my worst fic. Review, please.
