Don't wanna love you
If you don't love me
Don't wanna need you
When you won't need me too
Don't wanna tell you this now
But it wouldn't be right
If I didn't tell you this tonight

"Prue, Piper!"
Phoebe burst throught the door of the manor, eager to tell her sisters her good news.
Piper came down the stairs, followed by Prue. "Honey, what is it?"
Phoebe triumphantly held out her paper. "I got an A. Can you believe it? I, of all people, got an A."
Prue and Piper pulled their sister into a tight group hug.
"Sweetie, that's great." Piper said.
"I told you you'd be good at this whole college thing." Prue added.
"I was scared I was going to fail." Phoebe admitted.
"Well, not only did you not fail, you obviously did an awesome job." Prue said.
Piper started toward the kitchen. "Come on, I'm making your favourite for dinner."
Phoebe followed her sister, but Prue stayed behind, leaning on the hall table.
Her sisters turned around, noticing she wasn't moving. "Prue? Honey, what's wrong?" Phoebe asked.
Prue grimanced. "I don't know. I feel dizzy."
Piper and Phoebe helped her to the couch.
"I'll be fine." she told them. "It'll pass, just give me a minute."
Piper exchanged a concerned glance with Phoebe, then asked, "How long has this been going on?"
Prue shrugged. "A few days. Maybe a week."
"Maybe you should see a doctor." Phoebe said, worried.
Prue shook her head. "It's nothing. I'm okay, really."
Piper reached out to smooth Prue's hair out of her face. "Honey, if you've been feeling sick lately, you should go."
"But I haven't felt sick, exactly..." Prue said. Suddenly, her eyes widened. "Wait. What's today's date?" Without waiting for a reply, she got up and checked the calendar in the kitchen. She came back into the living room, and sat down between her sisters, her eyebrows furrowed in thought.
Piper and Phoebe caught on immediately.
"I'll go to the drug store." Phoebe offered.
Prue didn't seem to hear her. Phoebe left, and Piper did her best to help her sister.
"Just relax, honey." she said. "There's no point in worrying until you know for sure."
Prue nodded. She did her best to stay calm until Phoebe got back.
She took the bag from her sister as soon as she walked through the door. Piper and Phoebe waited outside the bathroom door as Prue went into the bathroom, reached into the bag, and pulled out a pregnancy test.
The seconds ticked by. Finally, the two minutes had passed. Phoebe and Piper looked up as their sister came out and slowly nodded her head.
Prue crossed the hall and sank down onto the living room couch. She barely noticed her sisters sitting down next to her, putting their arms around her. A myriad of emotions were coursing through her. The most prevalent one was fear.
After what seemed like forever, Prue broke the silence was three simple words. "Oh my God."
"Honey, it'll be okay." Piper said. "You can do this. We'll help you."
"Anything you need, we're here." Phoebe added.
Prue nodded, and leaned back, rubbing her eyes. "T.J. is going to freak."
Phoebe patted her sister's leg encouragingly. "You have to tell him, sweetheart."
Prue sighed. "I know. I know. I have to tell him."
****************
A/N: I hope that surprised at least a few of you. Next chapter will possibly feature T.J.'s reaction. Or, yanno, not. Yes, that was my attempt at being cryptic.
A/N2: I've been pouring through transcripts of Charmed episodes, trying to find a name for Prue's kid, but I can't choose, so I thought I'd ask you. Here's a preliminary list, so in your review, let me know which names you like.
Girls: Aviva, Skye, Zoe, Terra, Elana
Middle name: Patricia, Tyra, or Victoria
Boys: Mark, Max, Caleb, Reece, Brendan, Jeremy
Middle name: Patrick, Victor, or Lee
