Prue tried to get close. She fought some evil things in her four years as a Charmed one but there was no preparing for anything like this. Why wasn't there a spell or a removal potion and this is the one time the vanishing spell won't be of any help to her. Prue tried to calm down and collect herself she can do this. Prue got closer she fought the forces of hell for years and the demon of fear is afraid of her she can do this. Prue took one step closer and four steps back. "Clark I don't think I can do this."

Clark looked at her and took her hand for support they've been in tight spots before but this is too much. "Yes you can alright. I did it last time and Piper before that but it can't always be me or one of your sisters."

The pair looked at their son laid out on the changing table and Clark quipped. "Besides your senses aren't that far as enhanced as mine are."

"Hey I've changed plenty of diapers yesterday and you can hold your breath for twenty minutes." Prue defended herself.

Clark rolled his eyes. "Yeah wet ones whenever it's a dirty one you get someone else to do it."

Prue frowned and lifted Jonathon's legs holding her breath. "I just don't understand how something so little can make a smell so powerful from formula and breast milk."

Clark held Patty watching Prue change her first dirty diaper. "See that wiping like a pro."

Prue glared at him and rolled the diaper into a ball that launched it at Clark whom caught it with one hand and threw it in the trash.

Clark smiled as the two rocked their children. They wailed all night and naturally they're on their way to sleep now while the yellow sun makes it impossible for Clark and Prue to catch 40 winks. They watched as Leo orbed in.

"So, did Chloe make it back to Gotham?" Clark asked.

Leo simply nodded now that she was there he had to go get Victor that should be fun. "She got there OK. So are you two going to the wedding?"

Prue nodded she would have been a lot happier if Phoebe had married cupid but at least Cole isn't a demon anymore and at least the full power of the charmed ones will be at the wedding to protect her. "As I'll ever be"

Chloe walked into stately Wayne Manor and greeted an elderly Englishman. "Alfred is Bruce in his room."

"Does he spend his late nights anywhere else Ms. Sullivan?" Alfred quipped.

Chloe smiled as she walked towards the steps but turned left and messed with the grandfather clock revealing a secret passageway a dark and dirty cave with a very unique car in the middle. She still thinks he should put fire poles here to lighten up the place yes Batman must be feared throughout the criminal underworld but that doesn't mean he shouldn't have fun once in a while.

Chloe walked over and saw Bruce at the computer. Leave it to her to fall for someone that might actually have Clark beat on brooding time. "Hey just where I left you two days ago. Please tell me you at least slept."

Bruce didn't pay her attention and looked at the computer. "I've been busy."

Chloe smiled she wonders. "Let me guess three blurry things."

Bruce turned and stared at her.

"So I see." Chloe said seeing the ripples grow slightly. "Any ideas on how to close them?"

Bruce shakes his head. "Nothing on how to close them there's no way of knowing what they even are."

Chloe looked at the screen. "They're holes in reality. So how long do we have?"

"At the rate their spreading and growing we're going to have a serious problem on our hands real soon maybe even by the end of the month." Bruce replied.

Chloe looked at him. "This means you have time to catch eight hours."

Bruce is wondering how he ended up with this woman. She's a lot smarter then she let on. Bruce changes his voice completely even around people that know his secret for the sake of plausible deniability. And thanks to that Chloe was able to put it together when he sneezed on a double date. It started off as Lois and him going with Chloe and Oliver but eventually Oliver and Lois got closer over drinks and he sneezed and Chloe instantly knew even if she didn't tell him thanks to Batman's ordeal with Martha Kent he ended up acceepting her silence but deep down he knew… what he didn't expect was how supportive Chloe was he figured she'd try to get him locked up immediately but instead she supports him and works the computer, his own little Oracle.

Leo orbed back onto the Kent Farm with Victor who wobbled a little bit. Clark has been there before thanks to Paige. Orbing without white lighter blood makes you disoriented on landing. Victor regains his footing and looks himself over in his suit wondering why he had to get dressed up like this. All those thoughts left his head as he saw Clark with a blond haired woman.

"Prue" Victor questioned.

Prue smiled seeing his reaction. "Hey dad."

Victor's eyes lit up seeing her oldest with a baby in her arms. "Oh my god you had your little girl."

Prue nodded excitedly she's already turning into one of those mothers that love showing off their kids as she makes a motion for Clark whom goes into the kitchen and comes back in holding another baby. "Dad I'd like you to meet Patty and Jonathon the twins."

Victor was taken back in awe seeing his grandchildren they're so tiny. "Prue they're wonderful. When… when did you have them?"

"Three days ago." Prue answered realizing that's how long it's been. "I'm sorry we didn't tell you it's just I went into labor so fast that we never really had a chance to tell anyone and demons and the end of the world and the wedding it's just been crazy."

Victor nodded catching some of that so he knows it was a complicated mess. A demon tried to attack for each of the girl's wicanning which was why he was against magic. "Prue I have a relationship with all three of my daughters another girl that I'm growing quite fond of. One daughter married another one starting a family of her own and that brings me to Phoebe so what's she doing?"

Prue just smirked not that she could blame Leo he hates whitelighters enough as is. "Oh Phoebe is getting married today."

Victor looked at her about to explode as Martha came in. "To a dem- to a democrat she can do much better."

"He's not a democrat any more he's just Cole." Prue replied calmly. "And for the record she knows."

Martha smiled at Prue and Clark she's excited with them going to the wedding she's watching the twins. "Are you two ready to go?"

Prue moved in a blur and came down in a red dress they all picked up yesterday for bridesmaid dresses. She wrapped her arms around Clark and the two quickly left the house before disappearing in a blur.

Clark and Prue watched as Darryl orbed in with Paige and Leo orbed in with Victor. They took their own spots in the piece of the back 40 they set this up in. It was beautiful with flowers and modest perfect for a small wedding.

Victor looked at Clark in confusion. "How did you two beat me here so fast?"

"Paige" Prue answered.

Victor just accpeted her answer all he wants is for her daughter to be happy since she nearly destroyed Piper's wedding because her own inner desires were so repressed. "You know it's OK if Clark…"

"He makes me happy and that's all that matters to me." Prue replied standing next to Piper and Paige while Clark stood with the guys.

Cole looked and saw a Justice of the Peace coming to them. He figured someone would be getting an online minister thing. Cole whispered to Clark. "How did you get a justice of the peace so fast?"

Clark thought about it and just answered honestly in a whisper since Cole will get a laugh out of it. "Blackmail"

"Blackmail" Cole laughed at it. "What do you have over him?"

Clark smiled. "He probably wants to keep it hidden that we made friends while we were being arrested for being at a strip club with underage dancers."

Prue couldn't help but picture the shy image of Clark at a strip club and how awkward he would probably he would be without red kryptonite and just laughed.

Paige took Victor to Phoebe knowing that it's time.

Cole smiled seeing Victor walk Phoebe down the… ground. They're getting married in a small ceremony in the back forty which no one has bought yet… or at least not built anything over. Phoebe said she didn't care about what it looked like she just wanted to be married to him. Cole didn't exactly question it since he loves this woman.

Piper watched in a smile as the justice ran through the vows as Cole and Phoebe said their I dos. She also looks at Clark and looks at him with a knowing face. He's thinking of proposing.

Prue just watches with a smile seeing Phoebe marry the man she loves.

Prue and Clark walk back to the farm followed closely by Piper, Paige, and Victor since Leo was orbing Darryl home and Phoebe and Cole to their honeymoon spot for a week of rest and relaxation. Clark comes in and saw the twins in the arms of Martha and someone Clark didn't expect.

Lois smiled rocking Jonathon in her arms. "Hey Smallville congrats on becoming a daddy."

Prue cut her off. "Yeah thanks go back to this story about you at the strip club."

Lois glared at him and hit him on the shoulder. "What the hell!"

Prue looked at it and just smiled. "Oh now I've really got to hear this story."

"No you don't." Clark and Lois reply.

Lois looked at Clark. "It's protected under mutually assured destruction.

Paige smiled seeing Clark get in trouble. Hearing about bad Clark is one thing but actually seeing people that witnessed it well that's another. "Well come on we'll take it to our graves."

Prue took Patty off Martha and before long the house was emptied except for Martha and Victor. Victor looked at Martha and saw tears running down the redhead's eyes. "No woman should ever cry like that. Is that because you're happy to be a grandmother."

"No" Martha said wiping her eyes. "It's just seeing him with Prue and his own family I just wish Jonathon was here the past couple days so he could meet his grandchildren. I was always afraid that as he grew up Clark would be alone and then he met Prue and I would have never in a thousand years guessed this."

"I think I know what you mean." Victor answered it's why he came back after all. "My wife Patty she dumped for her whitelighter Sam Paige's father and then she died. I couldn't handle that and their grandmother so I left. That hurt like hell and the truth is even today I still miss her. But still she and I helped parent three people that save the world on a regular basis so we must have done something right. I have a feeling you and Jonathon did the same. I'm glad our kids found each other I don't remember Prue being so happy since we were all a family."

Martha smiled she knows the type of man Clark is going to become and it was her and Jonathon that taught him the morals he lives by. "Thank you, so do you want a cup of tea until Leo comes back Mr. Halliwell?"

"It's Bennett Victor Bennett."

"Martha Kent"

A week has passed since Phoebe and Cole's wedding as Clark and Prue laid in bed collecting the little bits of sleep that they could. They hear Jonathon cry and Prue wakes up for a moment moving a wave blond hair as she pats Clark on the back. "What kind of cry is that?"

"Wet, I'll take care of it." Clark said trying to pull himself up.

Prue waved her arms as Clark's arm stretched out and smacked the bed headfirst. "I'll take care of it besides you have work and one of us has to make a living."

Clark tries to catch some sleep as Prue quietly went to the babies. Two minutes later Clark's eyes shot open hearing a scream of horror or more particularly Prue's scream of horror as he sees his blond girlfriend run in the other direction to the bathroom. He shoots out of bed as Piper rushes out of her room.

"What happened?" Piper asked.

"I don't know." Clark answered moving fast for the bathroom where they found Prue brushing her teeth and gargling mouth wash simultaneously. "Prue"

Prue just makes a gargling grunt as she keeps scrubbing.

"OK I didn't get that." Clark quipped. "Something about mouth."

Piper glared at her sister for waking her up so early by acting like a lunatic. "It doesn't matter she knows better then to scream in this house about dental care."

Prue glared at them both something evil and then spat in the sink before pointing at Clark. "Your son… in my mouth… I thought he was done."

Piper and Clark do everything they can to keep a straight face but fail realizing what happened.

Prue glared at Clark whom finally relented and offered. "Patty spat up over three of my shirts yesterday I needed a laugh."

Piper laughed at the two they're taking it all in stride. "Look you guys have been licking your wounds all week. Why don't you let me and Leo watch them this morning?"

Prue and Clark just look at each other and silently nod in agreement as Piper walks out. Clark looked over and saw Prue with a piece of paper in her hand. "What's that?"

"Glamour spell" Prue answered. "Just a little something to be the old me again. People are going to notice the blond."

Clark nodded hugged her and kissed her on top of her head. "Oh I'm going to miss blond you."

Prue smiled from his grip. "Yeah well the blond hair is traumatic."

Clark didn't know what to think of that and asked while kissing her neck. "Why is blond scary? Admittedly Lois is blond but it's not an evil hair color."

"It's more to do with what I was as a blond." Prue replied. "I told you I've been in my body at age 38 but what I didn't tell you was that I was a complete and utter hellbitch."

Clark didn't let up but mumbled out. "I don't see it."

Prue rolled her yes. "Yeah well you're an idealist. What worries me was that since I… blonded in this time I must have in that future and chased you and the kids off."

Clark held her close not sure what to think of that. "Well you've changed things since then right."

Prue nodded. "I even quit my job at the auction house so that line is completely cut off to me."

Clark just laughed he couldn't help it.

Prue pulled herself free. "Hey are you laughing at me."

Clark put his hands up. "No, I'm laughing at myself. You're afraid of what you might do in the future while here I am knowing what I've done in the past."

Prue looked at him and doubted. "Yeah, yeah red K made you a bit of a jerk."

"Two hundred million in property damage doesn't sound like a little." Clark answered.

Prue looked at him. "Well strip clubs theft, and property damage weren't you the youthful offender."

Clark put his hands up. "Look all I'm saying is that we all make mistakes the important thing is how we learn from them and come back from them and know I'll always be here to support you."

Prue smiled seeing Clark isn't about to give up on her and knows what it means to make mistakes. "So… do you want to take a shower with a blond girl?"

"Oh yeah" Clark replied.

Paige came into the bathroom half awake she's getting rings under her eyes thanks to her niece and nephew. She walks to the shower and opens it and sees Prue and Clark and quickly closes it as Prue covers up.

"Paige!"

Paige was now awake and at the bathroom door heading out. "Wow… sorry… wow."

"Just go downstairs!" Prue ordered.

Paige nodded bolting out of the room. "I'm gone."

Prue looked at Clark. "We really have to get our own place."

Paige came downstairs and saw Piper feeding Patty with Jonathon asleep. "See you gave the lovebirds some time off."

Piper nodded she was happy to do it all things considered it's practice for her and Leo one day. Hopefully one day soon as far as she's concerned since Demons will still fear auntie Prue and Uncle Clark from the marketplace. "First few weeks can be tiring figured they could use a rest."

Leo orbed down and saw Piper with a baby in her arms he's really hoping they can start their own family soon. "Hopefully we'll be holding one of our own soon."

Paige saw Jonathon come to and start crying as she lifted him and gently rocked him. "Let's make sure we all still have a world to live in after all this first. Anything on closing those rip thingies."

Leo shakes his head. "No, and we're up to nine. But thankfully the world keeps spinning and no one seems to notice them. And since I'm picking up Phoebe and Cole I'm going to take her to the first ripple see if she can get a premonition since we can't seem to close them even with the power of three."

Clark came down with a brown haired Prue both smiling they might not have been able to get any sleep thanks to the sun but they did close their eyes and get some rest. Clark pulled his glasses out of his pocket.

Prue looked at him. "Clark are you OK?"

Clark nodded. "Armed robbery and a fire on the way to work is all… besides the portals. Take it we still haven't found anything yet?"

Piper shakes her head no. "No such luck but we're going to have Phoebe look into it in her own special way."

Leo orbed down in a volcano with Phoebe and Cole. Cole looked at it and he actually feels homesick for a moment. "Leo is there a particular reason why we're here not that it's not making me nostalgic."

Leo pointed to swirling circle of blue. "It's the first ripple I'm hoping Phoebe might be able to get a premonition off it and help us figure out just what it is we're dealing with."

Phoebe swallows nervously you know for the sister with the weakest power how come it seems like she usually gets the worst jobs. Phoebe touched the ripple and was instantly bounced back as Leo and Cole catch her.

Phoebe saw meteors fall as the sky was practically burning hitting a small urban town as something else lands in the field a metal ship that opens up and reveals a three year old boy with black hair and blue eyes.

Cole looked at Phoebe concerned as she comes back. "What did you see?"

"I think I saw baby Clark?" Phoebe answered from what she saw. "I think these ripple things go back to him for some reason?"

Cole and Leo looked at each other nervously not sure how to act. Clark can't be causing this. Can he?

Clark walked into the office and went to the basement. "Hey Terri"

"Hey Clark… I think one of your kids left you a present." Terri laughed pointing at his sleeve.

Clark held his arm up to see for himself… spit up. "Patty… thanks for the heads up."

Clark opened his jacket pocket and handed her pictures knowing it was coming as all the girls pretty much moved over to take a look at the babies.

"Oh look at them they're so cute."

"Your son has your eyes."

Elise rolled her eyes coming down to the basement. "I'm sorry am I interrupting something here I thought this was a newspaper not a baby shower."

The girls all scrambled back for their desk Terri hurriedly gives the picture back to Clark but they're taken by Elise.

"They're beautiful now get back to work Mr. Kent." Elise ordered as she gives him back the pictures. She's helping in her own way. Someone has to keep food on the table for those four.

"Yes Ms. Rothman" Clark said going back to work.

Clark sees Elise chewing out someone for not doing their job in the past month and it looks like the guy is getting the pink slip. Clark looks at an IM form Terri wondering why the advice columnist is slumming it in the basement. Clark looks up and sees a pretty blond as Karen Young the advice columnist enters the basement staring at Elise. Clark watches Karen wave her hands out as energy comes out of them. Clark quickly lowers his glasses and hits the energy with heat vision neutralizing it. Clark quickly gets up and turns Karen around heading for the door.

Elise turned around and saw it. She really hates how lax he is with work. "Kent stories don't write themselves."

"They don't land on your lap either I have to meet a source. Karen said she'd help." Clark lied through his teeth.

Elise rolled her eyes. "If she doesn't get her article in by eight o clock she's fired."

Clark nodded and headed out putting a hand over Karen's mouth. "She'll make her deadline." He doesn't know what's going on but he knows Karen isn't evil. She's an advice columnist one that he went to about a couple ideas for boy's clothes and toys since she has a son of her own and enjoyed the little break from work and the bitch from Hell as she calls Elise. Maybe he can get Phoebe or Paige to write it while he figures out what happened to Karen. They both seem pretty smart.

Author's notes

Thanks for the reviews

Phoebe was willing to marry Cole in a graveyard and didn't once think of summoning Patty or Penny. So after what she saw in the premonition I have no problem believing she'd marry Cole on a land of grass and flowers,
