Part 3
Andy slowly got off the bed and left Prue's room. He headed of to the attic door and apprehensively opened it. The attic had always been off limits to them while growing up, and Prue's grandmother had always made sure that they never went in. He peered in and saw a podium in the middle of the attic. He walked over to it and was stunned at what he saw. It was a book with a picture of a circle with three ellipses coming out of it, a triquetra. He opened the book slowly to the first page and saw written - The Book of Shadows…he began reading the legend of the Charmed Ones and then flipped the pages, when he heard Prue scream his name.
'Prue, Piper, Phoebe…three sisters', three witches…they must be the Charmed One's. So this is what Prue's been keeping from me…'
"Prue…wake up. It's ok. I'm here." Andy soothed Prue as she woke up sobbing.
"Andy? It was so real… he killed you. I couldn't do anything to stop it… he killed you and you died. Andy, promise me that you won't leave…promise me that you'll always love me?" Prue said sobbing.
"I promise…Prue, come on sweetie…its ok. I'm not going anywhere. I promise." Andy said. 'Now how am I going to tell her that I'm leaving?' Andy didn't have a chance to dwell on that thought as Prue lifted her head off Andy's shoulder and pulled him in for a long passionate kiss.
"Prue…are you sure you want this?"
"I'm sure Andy…I need this…I need you."
The next morning Andy awoke at dawn to see Prue cradled in his arms, their clothes lying around the room. 'Oh god…what have I done? I was supposed to tell her that I was leaving, not end up sleeping with her…I can't tell her that I'm leaving now…'
About 3 hours later…
"Mmphf…What the..?" Prue said as she rolled off the bed. The memories of last night came flooding back into her mind. Her sisters leaving, then waking up to find Andy staring worriedly at her.
"Andy…I wonder where he is…" Her eyes then fell onto her bedside drawer where a piece of paper laid with her name scrawled on it. It was in Andy's writing. 'Oh Andy, no…Please tell me that that's not what I think it is.' She apprehensively reached over and picked it up. Tears started to roll down her cheeks as she read the letter;
Dear Prue,
I know that after everything we've been through together, I should at least have said this to your face…I came over yesterday to tell you that I requested a transfer, and that I was leaving today. I didn't expect to end up sleeping with you…it shouldn't have happened and I'm sorry. I'm sorry because I shouldn't have to be writing this to you…I'm not leaving a new address because I think that both of us need to think about things. And I suppose that you should know that I know about you and your sisters being the Charmed One's. You became delirious and told me all of it. Don't worry, you're secret is safe with me. I guess this is goodbye…
Andy
"No…how could you do this to me? You promised me. You promised me." she managed to mutter out disbelievingly before she succumbed to the sobs that were racking her body. She curled up into a ball sobbing.
That was how Leo found her an hour later.
"Prue what's wrong? I orbed in and I couldn't find anyone…I sensed you in here." He said as he lifted the letter out of her hands and skimmed it… 'Oh man…poor Prue... I know that a white lighter isn't supposed to be violent but if I ever see this guy he's gonna get up close and personal with my fist…'
"Leo…?" Prue's shaky voice broke through his thoughts. He watched in sympathy as she struggled to compose herself.
"Hi Prue…where are Piper and Phoebe?"
"They're at a convention in Hawaii. What are you doing here?"
"I had to fix the bathroom sink. Hope you don't mind that I orbed in here?"
"Na its ok. Look I gotta get to work before Rex decides he's better off firing me."
3 weeks later
"Oh god please let it be negative. Please let it be negative…" Prue whispered softly as she stared at the stick in her hand willing it to stay clear.
"Damnit!" It was blue. 'Oh god…I'm pregnant with Andy's baby. This wasn't supposed to happen like this. It could be wrong. Maybe Leo will be able to tell me for certain.'
"Hi guys." Prue said wearily to her sisters and Leo.
"Hey Prue." Came the greetings from her two younger sisters and her white lighter.
"Leo? Can I talk to you for a minute?" Prue said apprehensively.
"Sure."
"Uh…in private?"
Piper and Phoebe turned to look at Prue worriedly.
"Is everything ok?" Phoebe asked.
"Uh… yeah." 'Apart from the fact that I might be pregnant with a guy who skipped town, yeah everything's perfect.'
In the family room, Prue closed the door and turned to Leo.
"Leo, do you remember 3 weeks ago? You found me in my room bawling my eyes out?" she asked.
"How could I forget?" he joked.
"Yeah, well I need you to check something for me. I think I'm pregnant, but I really don't want to go to the doctor's, and I know that you can sense witches." She asked him softly.
"Oh god Prue. Um, sure." He walked over to her in 3 long strides, and placed his hand over her stomach.
"Look Prue. I'm not sure exactly how to tell you this, but you're pregnant."
"Oh god. Oh god. I'm having a baby. I'm having Andy's baby." She said softly and then bolted out of the house and jumped in her car, speeding off.
"Leo? What happened?" Phoebe asked.
"Prue will have to tell you herself." Leo said softly.
"Oh god. My sister and my boyfriend are having an affair." Piper said panicking.
"What?! No." Leo said amazed that Piper could think such a thing.
"Well then, why are you so upset over her leaving?" she yelled.
"Look, Prue and I are not having an affair! She just needed me to check something for her, ok?"
"What?" she said close to tears.
"Fine. If you really want to know, Prue wanted me to check if she was pregnant or not ok. And I can't believe that you could think that Prue, your older sister would betray you like that. If you couldn't trust me, I would think that you could at least trust your own sister." Leo said angrily, orbing out, leaving Piper and Phoebe standing there stunned.
"Prue might be pregnant? Why didn't she tell us? And speaking of that, how could you think that they're having an affair?" Phoebe asked Piper angrily.
"I don't know. I guess I'm just insecure about our relationship." Piper said softly.
