Chp. 14

During the next couple weeks things had been far from normal. Prue loved her daughter and was overjoyed to have her home again but it was still so weird when she'd been dead for over a year. Luckily Prue didn't have to worry about having to explain her reappearance to everyone thanks to Leo and the elders who had erased all of their memories of Peyton's death. Unfortunately they couldn't erase those memories from the ones who they mattered most to, especially little Wyatt. It had been so hard for Piper and Leo to try and explain his cousin coming back to life when they had tried so hard to explain her death in the first place. Poor Wyatt just didn't understand a thing and had become quite scared of his cousin not knowing what to think of her anymore. As hard as it was for Piper and Leo to watch their son being so confused, it was even harder for Prue who had to try and comfort her daughter every time Wyatt turned her away. Aside from having Peyton back in the picture, Cole still wasn't and it hurt so much everyday for Prue even to think about him. He had given up his own life for Prue to have her daughter back and Prue just couldn't forgive herself for that. Prue and the kids had finally moved back home and Prue had settled her son into his new room, with the help of her sisters of course. Prue hadn't touched Peyton's room after her death either so everything was just the same for her. I guess she kinda always had a feeling that her little girl would come back to her, but she never imagined it this way, without Cole. Technically today would have been Peyton's 5th birthday according to her birth certificate but Prue wasn't so sure that they should celebrate it as her 5th considering that she'd been dead for a year. Both Prue and Piper had been debating over that for the past week. They'd decided to have a nice quiet birthday party with a couple guests just enough to satisfy Peyton who wasn't very hard to please. Prue had dropped off baby Cole at the manor so she could prepare for her daughter's birthday party. Prue hung some streamers and balloons, then decided to head back to the manor. Peyton and Wyatt were still at preschool so she had a little time to relax before she picked them up.

"Piper?" Prue called as she walked into the manor.

"In the kitchen!" Piper called from the kitchen. Prue started to walk towards the kitchen but paused, realising her son was in the playpen wide awake and screaming. Prue picked him up and he instantly stopped. He was quite a little momma's boy.

"Hey baby!" Cole said looking at her son, "how's my big boy?" Cole smiled and giggled as his mother talked to him. Prue smiled back then kissed him on the cheek and walked into the kitchen. Piper was baking a cake for the birthday party and it smelled fantastic!

"Mmmm smells good," Prue remarked as she entered the kitchen. Piper turned around after taking the cake out of the oven. She saw Cole and smiled.

"Hey baby boy! Did you have a good sleep?" Piper said smiling. She loved babysitting him especially since she didn't have any babies at the moment. Cole was a great baby. He was only three months old but probably the happiest baby you'd ever seen. He was always smiling and rarely ever made strange. Piper had always sworn he was born with a smile on his face. Prue smiled back and put him into his car seat which was seated on the counter at the moment. Cole strangely loved that car seat of his.

"So who's coming to the party again?" Piper asked.

"Uh well Darryl, of course, Travis said he'd like to come, Emily and then Paige and Leo I guess," Prue said, "I know it's not many but I really didn't know what to do about it I mean it's been so hard to adapt to her being here again." Prue looked like she was going to cry. She always loved to give her kids elaborate birthday parties with all their friends invited but it was so hard for her to do so, especially now.

"I know honey," Piper said rubbing her sisters back and trying to make her feel better.

"I guess it's just not the same without Cole here." Piper hugged her sister tightly. Suddenly Prue jumped looking at the time. "Shit I gotta go!" Prue called sprinting out the kitchen and starting her car. Piper just shook her head. She still had 10 minutes to get there but Prue had to be there early or else. God her sister was such a perfectionist! Baby Cole started to whine and Piper realised that he hadn't been fed since his little nap so she fetched him a bottle.

Prue pulled up to the preschool then got out to go get her daughter and nephew. Wyatt was finally breaking ice with Peyton again and the two were talking to each other again. Prue was overjoyed at this. They were such close friends and it sucked to watch them cry over each other. Prue walked into the school with her head full of thought. She didn't even notice the nice man walking down the hall and bumped into him.

"Oh I'm so sorry," Prue exclaimed obviously embarrassed.

"Oh don't worry about it I'm sure..." his voice trailed off as he looked up at the women he had bumped into.

"Prue?" he asked. Prue's eyes also widened as she realised just who she had bumped into.

"Jack? Jack Sheridan?" Prue asked. The two just stood there for a moment, unsure of what to say. It had been so long and it was quite awkward to be talking to one another. It wasn't like their relationship had ended badly or anything; it was just so...stunning. Just my luck, Prue thought to herself as she gazed at Jack. Just my luck, Jack thought to himself excitedly. Unfortunately for him, Prue wasn't and never would be the same woman he thought he once knew so well.
