A/N: Okay I know, I was terrible when it came to vanquishing the demons,
and the rest of the blah but I'm keen to get this fic finished. I'm toying
with the idea of a third (and most likely final) on the Pieces series
mainly about the kids - there's so much magic in Charmed already, I'd like
to give a glimpse in my fic of what normal lives lead, and I'd like to
branch away from them at the Halliwell manor. So. let me know. Kay?
*Crystals, Mirrors and Corpse Blue Potions*
Half an hour later Piper, Wyatt and Grace had returned from the grocery store and the potion had been started. Since Piper had gone to the store, she'd forgotten to cover the mirrors, so Paige decided to leave Piper and Prue to the potion and do it with the help of Glen, Wyatt, Grace and Melinda.
'Hey Leo, can I borrow Melinda?' Paige asked, peaking into the nursery.
Leo looked up from where he was helping Melinda draw pictures in crayon. 'Sure.' He said. 'Melinda, show Auntie Paige your drawing first.'
Melinda proudly held up a wonky drawing of a crystal pendant. 'Look!' She exclaimed happily. 'A crystal! We'll be safe!'
'That's beautiful sweetie. Your daddy can hang it up for you while we go do stuff.' Paige said, beckoning Melinda to her.
Leo laughed and stuck it to the pin board above the bookcase. 'Anything we can do other than babysitting?' He asked, nodding at himself and Andy, who was putting Serena to sleep.
'Not right now,' Paige said, before leaving with Melinda in tow. They met up with Wyatt and Grace in the hall, where they proceeded to raid the linen closet for bed sheets, pillowcases, and large pieces of cardboard for the mirrors that were attached to the wall by the backing and not by hooks.
'Okay guys, stay close.' Paige instructed, as they went decided to start downstairs and work their way up. Paige, Wyatt, Melinda and Grace covered the mirrors on the downstairs floor and drew the curtains of all the windows. On the second floor, nobody was there so it was very dark.
Melinda whimpered. 'Auntie Paige I'm scared.'
'Don't worry Mellie, mom said it's harder for them to spy on us in the dark.' Wyatt said, as Melinda grabbed onto Paige's hand.
'Hey wait for me!' Grace called, hurrying to catch up to them. She was struggling under the load of sheets she was carrying, unlike Wyatt and Paige, who weren't having any trouble at all.
'Another mirror!' Paige announced, throwing a sheet over it. They continued on for a while, when from behind, Grace screamed.
They all whipped around to see a demon - it was only a lower level demon, but Wyatt and Melinda screamed too. Wyatt waved his arms and blew it up.
'Hey, way to go Wyatt!' Paige congratulated him. 'From what I here, Piper never had her freezing under control within a few weeks. Neither did Mellie come to think.'
Wyatt was ecstatic. 'Really?'
'Uh huh. Maybe you get them later but pick them up faster?' Paige wondered. 'Grace, I told you to stay close, come on.'

'Okay that colour is just wrong.' Piper announced, as she stared doubtfully into the potion that sat bubbling on the stove.
'It says corpse blue.' Prue said, also looking at the potion doubtfully.
'Well that's a corpse colour, no doubt there.' Phoebe said, from where she sat reading the Book of Shadows. Piper was glad to see Phoebe not working for once.
'Yeah.' Piper agreed, beginning to ladle the potion into bottles.
* *
Soon they were all ready - the potion had been bottled and everyone had been given some, and the girls were preparing to summon Orrin and Krenkin.
Piper, Phoebe, Prue, Paige, Wyatt, Grace and Melinda all gathered together. Leo decided it was best for all the Power of three sets to summon them, just in case it was harder to reach them in Limbo. So all three sets - the original power of three, the reborn and the next generation, stood side by side in the attic.
'Magic forces black and white, reaching out through space and light, be they far or be they near, bring us the demons Krenkin and Orrin here.'
A whirl of wind flew through the attic, and Krenkin and Orrin appeared. Krenkin threw an energy ball while Orrin threw a dagger.
Paige ducked as the energy ball hit the wall behind her, while Piper froze the dagger mid air and snatched it up. She threw it at Krenkin, who ducked. 'Melinda, Wyatt, Grace, playroom, now!' Piper commanded.
'But mom we can help you!' Wyatt protested, as he waved his hands to attempt to blow up Krenkin.
'They're upper level demons Wyatt, and you're a young witch. You can't blow them up!' Phoebe argued, as she levitated into mid air.
'I can help, I can!' Melinda cried, running forward. She waved her hands at Orrin.
'Melinda!' Prue cried, diving for her and snatching her out of the way. 'Get out of the way!' She cried. 'Orb to your dad, NOW!'
Melinda and Wyatt orbed while Grace shimmered. Piper and Paige threw their potions at Orrin and Krenkin, who exploded.
Prue let out a croak a moment later.
Piper turned to look at her. 'Prue? What's the matter?' Prue shook her head as she kneeled on the floor. 'Prue?' Piper repeated. The other three crowded around her.
'I think I'm in labour.' Prue gasped.
'What? You're only seven and a half months!' Paige cried, concerned.
'Premature.' Prue said with a small shrug.
'Stress induced pregnancy.' Phoebe suggested. 'Honey, are you sure you're - okay you are.' Phoebe agreed, as Prue's water broke.
'We need to get you to the hospital, now!'
'Hurry!' Prue stressed. Paige grabbed her hand.
'I'll orb you to the car, you're not in a good condition to do it yourself.' Paige said.
'Is that such a good idea? If she's having a baby maybe molecular transferring or whatever isn't a good idea.' Piper asked.
'Whatever, just get me to the car.' Prue grunted.
'It'll be fine Piper.' Paige assured her, before orbing Prue out.
'Okay um, Phoebe you tell Andy I'll get her a bag.' Piper rushed out of the attic with Phoebe on her heels.
* *
Ten minutes later Prue, Andy, Piper and Phoebe were in a car speeding down the highway. In the other car, a green 4-wheel drive that seated 8 people, were Paige, Glen, Leo, Wyatt, Melinda, Grace and Serena.
'Breathe Prue, breathe. Remember the exercises? Remember my tape? Hee-haw.' Piper breathed in demonstration. 'Come one sweetie, breathe with me.'
'Hee-haw.' Prue breathed with Piper all the way to the hospital, occasionally letting out a whimper or sometimes a scream when she got a contraction.
When they got out of the car at the hospital, Leo did some quick healing on Andy's hand, which Prue had been clutching on the way there, before they rushed inside.
'Hi there, hi. Pregnant lady over here!' Piper waved her hand trying to get their attention.
'How many months pregnant are you?' Nurses inquired as they helped Prue onto a gurney.
'Seven and a half.' Prue gasped. She was wheeled down a corridor with Andy at her side, while once again; the rest of the Halliwell family took seats in the waiting room.
'Mommy why are we here again? I don't like it here.' Melinda complained loudly.
Many people looked at Melinda in amusement. 'Not so loud sweetie.' Piper shushed, picking up a magazine.
Melinda pouted and sat back on her butt. 'No fair.' She pouted in distress.
* *
In the delivery room, Andy was sure his hand was broken in five places. 'Just a few more pushes Ms Halliwell.'
'I. can't.' Prue panted.
'You can!' Andy argued.
'I might've faced demons, and the source of all evil, and hell I might've died, but there is no way I can push anymore!' Prue screamed.
The nurses and doctors gave her strange looks.
'She's delirious.' Andy assured them. 'Her sister when through the same thing.' He added. They all nodded.
'Come on, I can see shoulders.' A nurse soothed. 'Just push.'
Prue let out an ear-piercing scream, and a baby slid out. 'Congratulations Ms Halliwell, Mr. Trudeau you have a beautiful baby boy!'
'Oh.' Andy breathed. 'He's beautiful.'
The beautiful cry of a newborn child filled the air as Prue continued to gasp as she pushed at the same time.
'Mr. Trudeau?' The nurse asked hesitantly, holding her hands out for the baby.
'Oh!' Andy gave up his son as Prue continued pushing/screaming.
Fifteen minutes later, their second child was born.
