Quick note: Sorry I haven't updated for awhile I have to write this fic now
on paper instead of straight to my computer because I find I write better.
This part isn't interesting, it's just to link what has happened so far to
what should hopefully happen after this.
Thanks to sweetytweety013, Phoebe-H, edismysweetie, Sci fi fan, clairebear21, Cocoamo1223 for the recent reviews and everyone who has reviewed this so far. Sorry if I miss anyone out, I don't mean to!
Tell me what you think of this part and yeah anything else, thanks!

It had been a couple of hours since Prue had arrived at the manor. Patty wasn't there anymore. Piper had been excited to have Prue share her room with her, even if it meant she wouldn't get as much privacy.
Prue had never had to share a room before, so it was a new experience. She sat on the new bed which her sisters had helped her get ready.
Piper came into their room and sat on the bed. "Are you wanting any dinner?"
Prue shook her head in reply. "I'm not hungry."
"I do sort of understand how you feel. I remember when our mom died, I didn't know how I was going to go on without her. I felt that I needed her and I didn't know what to do. But I dealt with it and I'm still sad that she's gone but I remember what times I have had with her."
"It feels weird thinking that they weren't my real family and you are."
"It's weird for me to think that you're my twin and Phoebe's and Paige's sister." "What power am I supposed to have anyway?"
"Telekinesis I think, that's what mom said."
"I've got no idea what that is."
"It's something about moving objects with your mind."
"And what power have you got?"
"I can freeze time, but it seems that I can't freeze one of us."
There was a silence. Prue wanted to ask Piper a question but wasn't sure if she should ask Piper, but she would never find out if she didn't try.
"Piper, what was our mom like?"
Piper went to the book shelf in the room and picked something up then sat next to Prue.
"I'll show you," Piper opened the photo album she had kept ever since her mother's death.
Piper showed Prue all the pictures from when she had been younger and their mother was still alive. She explained where they were and what they were doing.
Maybe an hour Phoebe and Paige came into the room. "You missed dinner," Paige said.
"That's because we were busy," Piper explained.
"Doing what?"
"Piper was showing me your photo album."
"That's not fair Piper we might not have wanted Prue to see us as kids," Phoebe said grabbing the photo album and closing it.
Paige sneakily pulled it away from Phoebe and sat next to Prue on her other side. "I'm such a cute baby, don't you think?"
"Paige!" Phoebe whined.
"I think all of you looked sweet when you were younger. I wish I had been able to grow up with you," Prue said. "Rather than live a lie."
"You'll get to grow up with us now."
"Your past is still a part of who you are even if it is a lie."
The four girls stayed in the one room, laughing together. Hours had passed so Grams came up the stairs to check on them.
Upon opening the bedroom door, the sight Grams saw instantly brought a smile to her face. Her four grand-daughters were all on the bed, squashed up and asleep. Each one of them looked peaceful. Paige was snuggled up against Prue, as well as Piper, then Phoebe was at the end. How they managed to stay on the bed and not fall off, Grams didn't know.
Grams walked up towards the bed and picked up the open photo album laying nearby. The page was open on Phoebe's 4th birthday party. In the background you could see the usual balloons, streamers and other birthday decorations all around the house. Phoebe was standing behind her cake, arms crossed, looking angry. This was because Paige had quickly blown out the candles before Phoebe had had a chance to herself. Piper was to the right of Phoebe unable to suppress her laughing. Also in one of the photo's you can see a hand attempting to fix the situation by lighting the candles again. That was Patty. Grams had been the one taking the photograph. That had been a very happy day, once Phoebe had forgotten about the cake incident. Grams could recall the memory very well. She tried to imagine what it would have been like if Prue was there also. Typically knowing what young twins were like, Prue and Piper would most likely team up with Paige to play a trick on Phoebe. Like hide all of her presents or pretend to forget it was her birthday. It would have definitely been an even more memorable day had Prue been a part of it,
It was unfair that the girls couldn't have childhood memories of being all together. Your childhood is where your life starts and where you begin to learn things about the world and people that would mold you into the person you become a few years down the road. If only there was a spell that could create memories to make up for the time lost.
Grams closed the photo album and placed it back on the bookshelf where it belonged. Piper was one to try to preserve things that might have an invaluable meaning to them. Grams was glad that Piper did because it meant that at least Prue and anyone else would gain a sort of understanding of the Halliwell past.
Piper began to stir, waking up from her sleep.
"Grams, what are you doing?" She asked, using her fist to rub the sleep from her eyes.
"I came to see what you girls were up to and I find you asleep."
Piper attempted to roll Phoebe away from her so that she could get off the bed. But Pheebs just rolled back.
"Phoebe, come on, I want to get to bed."
"Give me a minute, I was happily dreaming," Phoebe complained lazily stumbling off the bed and slowly making her way to her own room.
Piper made a quick transition from Prue's bed to her own, only a few steps away.
"Paige it's time to get to your own bed," Grams said.
"I'm comfy here."
"I'm pretty sure Prue wants to be able to have her bed to herself to sleep in."
"I don't take up much room," Paige commented opening her eyes as she yawned.
Grams looked at Paige with her 'do as I say now or your in big trouble' stare.
"I'm going," Paige left knowing what would happen if she didn't.
Grams was amazed that Prue still managed to stay in her slumber with all the fuss that was going on. Most likely she was tired from the previous days events, and no one could blame her.
Grams pulled the covers over Prue up to her neck to prevent her from getting cold during the night. Something she had often done for the other three girls when they had been of a younger age.
Grams walked towards the door and switched the light off.
"Good night Grams," Piper said through the darkness.
"Good night darling," Grams finally closed the door feeling fulfilled inside because finally the Power of Four was under the safe protection of the manor.
