Together Forever As One
Chapter 8: Gift From Above

"I'm pregnant!" Prue gasped, cutting off the doctor before he could even announce the results.

The doctor nodded. "So, I'm guessing my expression gave it away?" He asked, looking puzzeled.

Prue quickly nodded her head. "Yes, yes, I figured when I uh....saw the look on your face." Prue lied. The truth was, she'd picked up on his thoughts, and replied without thinking. "But there is something wrong?" Prue asked, in concern.

"Well, not yet, but it could turn into a problem." The doctor replied. "The tests show that you're about, only one month pregnant. The tests show that the baby looks as if it might be slightly turned in the womb. It could turn again, the other way, and then there would be nothing wrong with it. But then again, it might turn the opposite direction, and that could cause complications in the pregnancy; maybe even a miscarrige." The doctor informed.

Piper covered her mouth. 'Prue cannot have a miscarrige! She is way too much of a good person for that to happen....And if this is truly the one and only child that Andy and Prue will ever have, she just cannot loose it!' Piper thought, as a surge of horror ran through her.

"Piper!" Prue snapped, through gritted teeth. She turned back to the doctor. "What can I do?" She asked.

"I would like you to come in every other week, to see if there has been any change." The doctor said. "But then again, you may have other side effects due to this." He added.

"Like?" Prue asked.

"Extreme nausea, vomiting, aches and pains thoughout your body, and a lot more restlessness. Besides the normal pregnancy symptoms, they may be magnified." The doctor said. He quickly pulled a card from his pocket and handed it to Prue. "Here, my number is there, if you have any major symptoms, please call me so I can run some more tests." He said.

Prue nodded and placed the card in her purse. "Thank you, Doctor...." Prue's voice trailed off.

"Lefever." Dr. Lefever finished.

"Lefever. Thank you, Dr. Lefever." Prue said, as she shook his hand. "Well, I think we should be going now...We have a lot to talk about." Prue said, as she looked at her sisters. Prue turned and exited the room.

Piper and Paige looked at each other.

Piper scooped up Phiona, then followed Prue out the door.

Paige grabbed Pam and follwed her sisters.

Piper caught up with Prue at the front desk. "Prue." She said.

"Not now!" Prue said, as she handed the nurse a check. She turned and walked out the doors.

"Wait up!" Piper said, as she waved her hands, freezing the room.

"Prue!" Paige yelled. Without warning, she felt the sensation of shimmering out.

Pam shimmered herself and her Aunt Paige in, in front of her Aunt Prue. "Auntie Prue? You be mad at me?" She asked, innocently. She really wasn't sure of what was going on, but she didn't like the way her Aunt Prue was acting.

Prue smiled at the little girl. "No Pam, I'm just a little upset right now, I'm not mad at you." Prue said.

"Then we go home?" Pam asked, as she reached out for her Aunt Prue's hand.

Prue considered this for a moment, then shook her head. "No sweetie, I'm sorry, but I'd like so have some alone time. Okay?" Prue asked.

"Like some nap time?" Pam asked, as her little eyes fluttered. She was beginning to get tired herself, not that she'd ever admit that she needed a nap, nor could anyone catch her to make her take a nap; thanks to her power of shimmering, which Phoebe blamed on Cole. The Halliwells dreaded Pamela's teen years, with her being Phoebe's daughter, and Phoebe's history of sneeking out. Shimmering would make the task so much easier and Pamela was already turning out much like her mother, in behavior that is, Paige too, which is probably why Paige was Pamela's favorite aunt.

Prue let out a little laugh. "Yes, Pam, like nap time." Prue said. She patted her niece on the head. "Now, if you'll excuse me." Prue said, as she looked from Pam to Paige. "I'll be going now." She finished, then abruptly walked in the other direction.

Piper waved her hands, unfreezing the room, then walked over to Paige and Pam. "Come on, Paige, I'm sure she'll find a way to get home. She needs time to think." Piper said, as she held out her hand.

"Yeah." Paige said. She took Piper's hand and pulled them between a few parked cars. Paige looked around to make sure nobody was watching, then she orbed them out.

Paige orbed herself, Piper, Phiona, and Pam into the living room of the Manor.

"When is Auntie Prue gonna come back?" Phiona asked, as she looked from her mother to her Aunt Paige.

"When she's ready." Paige replied. "Now Piper, do you need to be orbed back to P3?" Paige asked.

Piper shook her head. "Not right now. In like an hour though." She said. She looked at her watch. "But, it is nap time for the two of you." Piper said, as she looked at her daughter and niece.

"No!" Phiona and Pam replied, in definance.

"Phiona!" Piper said, raising her voice slightly.

"I don't want any nap!" Phiona said back, as she took a few steps back from her mother. She held out her hands; orbs shot from her palms and surrounded the coffee table, then pulled the coffee table between Piper and Phiona, the orbs then vanished.

Paige reached down to grab Pam.

Pam shimmered out before Paige could grab her.

"Here we go again!" Piper said.

Pam shimmered in next to Phiona. "No naps!" She yelled.

Paige sighed and orbed out.

Pam shook her head. "No no no!" She yelled. She grabbed Phiona's hand and shimmered them out.

Paige orbed in, just in time so see the last few shimmers, disappear. "Ugh!" Paige breathed.

Prue slowly walked down the sidewalk, until she came to a small park. "I just need some time to myself." She said aloud, to herself. She walked over to a small bench and sat down. Prue just sat in silence for a few moments, not moving at all. She finally placed her hand on her stomach. "So, I'm really pregnant?" She said, as she looked at her stomach. "But how? I mean, Andy was the only one." Prue whispered. She remembered the doctor saying that she was, about, one month pregnant or at least what the tests show. Her sisters were right, it did make sense, but could dead men come back for 24 hours and have kids? 'I have always wanted this, I just might have it now, but there is one thing wrong; Andy isn't here to enjoy it! This just is not fair!' Prue thought. "I need to talk to someone. Not my sisters...." Prue whispered. She looked around the park, it was empty, except for the birds and a few kids on the playground that was pretty far away. Prue looked up at the clear, blue sky. "Leo." She whispered.

Minutes later, there was a swirl of blue and white orbs, then Leo appeared next to Prue. "You called?" He asked.

Prue nodded her head. "I need to talk with you about something, but in confidence, I don't want you telling my sisters." Prue said.

Leo considered this for a moment. He was her brother-in-law, but still her whitelighter, and needed to be there incase she needed someone to talk to; without letting anyone else know. "Yes?" He asked.

"Do you promise that you won't tell them?" Prue asked.

Leo nodded. "Yes. After all, I am your whitelighter." He replied.

"Okay." Prue said. She took a deep breath. "Leo, can angels have children?" She asked.

Leo laughed. "I'm an angel and I have child. Paige is half angel and she had a child. Paige's father was an angel and he had Paige." Leo said.

"No, not whitelighters, I mean spirits. That are dead and have been for years, but are still in heaven." Prue said.

"What do you mean?" Leo asked, with a perplexed look on his face.

"I mean, Leo, could someone like Andy have a child with someone who is alive?" Prue asked.

"Prue, I know you love Andy and miss him a lot, but he can't come back to have kids with you." Leo said.

"No! You don't understand, Leo, I'm pregnant! The doctor says I'm about a month along! The only person I've slept with in months was Andy, on my birthday!" Prue exclaimed. She took a moment to regain her breath, then continued. "When he was aloud to come back for twenty-four hours as a real, solid person. Like he was before he died!" Prue said.

Leo's eyes were wide. "But Prue....maybe, maybe the tests were wrong?" He suggested.

"No, no Leo, they weren't." Prue said.

"How do you know?" Leo asked.

"Because my daughter in the future had telepathy and right now I'm picking up on everyone's thoughts! And they said that Pandora's father was mortal, someone that I really loved and it was a major surprise for me, but they wouldn't say who! Well, it all makes sense now!" Prue said.

"Prue, you didn't have a daughter in the future, you were blonde in the future!" Leo said, as he remembered the girls' trip to the future, the first time.

"Oh, that's right, we never told you about the second time." Prue said, remembering what had happened. "Look, we were summoned to the future a while back, by The Blessed Ones; our future daughters. When Paige was pregnant with Pearl. That's when I saw her, my daughter, Pandora. She was beautiful and looked like someone, but I couldn't place it before, now I know who that person was, it was Andy Trueadu!" Prue stated, in a matter-of- factly tone. TO BE CONTINUED....
