Little things change so much Part 19:
Washed out

--------------------

A week later:
It was only 4 pm and Prue fell already exhausted onto her bed. Penny still hadn't cared for anything. Still, Prue was the one handling everything. Prue hurried from one appointment to the next. To the doctors for the check up Andy asked Prue for, bring the girls here and there, begging Penny to forgive her, meeting with Andy in the supermarket, since she couldn't face Julia and Richard before they had told them and she didn't want Andy at the manor at the moment, studying and preparing her exams, school, household, cry herself to sleep because she didn't know what to do anymore with Grams and her whole situation and last but not least wake at like 3 am to throw up and have whole day after, the so called morning sickness which actually lasted the whole day. She didn't even have anything to eat since the last noon... over a day now. She didn't really talk to her sisters or Andy, since she didn't have the time to. If she would have talked to them, at least they would have made Prue sit down and rest a little for a while or get her to eat. Make her take a break. But it was impossible. She didn't have the time for anything like that. Short: Prue was completely washed out, a human wreck.
Prue just closed her eyes, when she heard the phone. Not even that Grams took anymore. Prue sighted, got up and dragged herself downstairs, just to find Piper at the phone. She smiled a bit at least her sisters helped the best they could. At least they were there for her.
"No Andy, I can't bring Prue to the phone, she just lay down. I don't wanna wake her"
Prue smiled a little
"It's okay sweetie, up already anyway, hand me over"
Piper looked worried up, her sister didn't look too good
"Umm... Andy, Prue heard the phone... I hand you over... yeah... bye"
"Thanks"
Prue whispered. Piper was such an angel
"Hey honey"
Prue said in a weak, exhausted voice
"Hey beautiful. How are you feeling?"
"Don't ask"
"Want me to come over?"
"No.... Andy... I have to study, I didn't get do anything yet. I still have to help Phoebe with some essay and then help Piper cook..."
"I come around. You need at least a bit of help and we can learn together."
Andy said. He was worried. Prue didn't look good in school and he wanted to make sure she ate something, since she promised him to eat something as soon as she came home. But before that, always came Prue's sisters. He knew how stressed out Prue was and also noticed her exhausted voice
"I have Piper and Phoebe to help me"
"They can't do a lot of things I could help you with. And if I'm there, you have another helper."
"No... Andy... Grams..."
"What's with her? She can shut up! I at least care for you and our baby. Completely in contrast to her. She doesn't care for anything anymore! Let at least me help you out!"
Prue sighted. Andy was right. She needed help. But she didn't want Andy at the manor while Grams and her were still fighting. She didn't want to hear them fighting over and over again. Andy more or less hated Penny since they told her. She was against their baby. She was acting mean towards Prue. And he somewhat had the feeling, she disliked him for getting Prue pregnant as well. So wherever and whenever Penny and Andy met, they started to fight. Argue. Yell. Prue was the one, then having to try to calm Andy down. So the fight stopped and wasn't becoming too bad.
"I'm there in 5"
Andy said and before Prue could say something, he hung up.
"Mom! I'm at the manor! I'm home for dinner!!"
Andy yelled, then grabbed his car keys and hurried out of the house and to his car. Everything that counted was Prue and that she and the baby were alright.
