Prue was with a charge when she heard Paige calling. What was going on? Hadn't she made it clear to Paige that it was dangerous for her to be around them?
"Um, Yasmine, I have to go." she said apologetically to her charge.
"That's allright. I'm fine, go ahead." Yasmine said.
Prue frowned. She hated to cut meetings with charges short.
Yasmine laughed. "Prue, you worry too much. Everything's fine here, really. If you're being called, go."
Prue said good-bye, and orbed out. She expected to meet Paige at the manor, but she found herself orbing in Up There, among a group of Elders. Andy was there also, as were her sisters and Julius. The only people noticeably absent were Leo, Phoebe, and her daughter.
"Where's Angelie?" Prue asked, fighting down a rising panic.
"She's with Leo, at home." Piper assured her. She was obviously resisting the urge to fling her arms around her big sister, whom she hadn't seen in so long. Prue didn't notice.
"And Phoebe?" she asked. "Is she there, too?"
Paige shook her head. "That's kindof why I summoned you."
Julius stepped forward to explain what had gone down at Cole's apartment. Prue listened quietly, absorbing it all. Then Octavia jumped in with her idea on how to get Phoebe back and vanquish Cole at the same time.
"So I... So I just hold her and say the spell, and I'll be able to tap into her powers?" Prue asked, euphoric at the prospect of holding her daughter again.
"You'll have to focus, of course, but yes. That's essentially it." Julius said. Even he was amazed at the plan's simplicity, but there was no doubt in his mind that it would work.
"When does all this happen?" Andy asked.
"As soon as possible." answered Gnaius. "After that, we'll deal with the two of you." he added, pointing to Andy and Prue.
Prue sighed. Gnaius had hated her and Andy since each of them had received their wings. Probably longer, she thought, remembering that Gnaius had been an Elder since before she was born.
"Okay, well, shall we?" Julius asked, growing impatient. Piper summoned Leo and explained to him the plan.
The look of joy on Prue's face when Leo handed her the baby touched everyone in the room. Everyone except Gnaius.
"Let's get this over with." he snapped, glaring harshly at Prue and Andy.
"But we don't have a spell." Piper protested. "Phoebe's the one that wrote it, it's with her."
"Fine." Gnaius said. "Go home, write a spell, and then come back here. If you aren't done within a reasonable amount of time, I'll come get you."
Piper sent the Elder a scathing look, not bothering to disguise the contempt she felt for him and all of the other Elders who would keep her sister from her baby. Then she , Leo, Paige, Prue, and Andy joined hands and orbed out.

A/N: I know this chapter's a bit short, but I've been really busy lately. Hopefully I'll finish this fic soon, but I won't be able to start working on its sequel for a while. And besides, does anyone really want a sequel to this, anyway?
