Little things change so much Part 24:
Will she forgive me?

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

Penny went through the attic door and locked it behind her. With a few waves of her hands a trunk opened and five candles flew around the room building a circle
"Patty!"
she said lowly, hoping to find the yellowish lights, she conjured already so many times ever since her daughter died, as soon as she would look up.
"Mom."
"What did I do?"
Penny asked looking up at the ghostly form of her daughter
"I told you it was wrong to teach her that lesson"
Patty answered
"I just, tried to make her realize what a hard work it is to have kids... to handle everything alone"
"I know that, mom. But, Prue is 18. You know it was impossible for her to make it without any help and without seeing Andy. Otherwise, Prue doesn't have to handle it alone. She has Andy. He's there and he loves her."
"Yeah, victor still loved you and was there for you when you had Prue as well, and with Piper... but with Phoebe, he didn't anymore. He just got you pregnant and ran away"
"Don't turn the reality now into what you would have liked it to be. You know why victor left. You know, that he left because he couldn't stand you, permanently treating him, yelling at him.
Penny looked down. Again she knew, she made a mistake back then. Just as she did the last few months
"Are they alright?"
She asked lowly. Patty nodded slightly
"As far as I know..."
"What am I gonna do now?"
"Apologising would be a great start...
"Will she forgive me?"
"She always will. She loves you too much to not know that it was just your stubbornness that made you handle this way"
"Is it a girl?"
Patty smiled a little
"As every Halliwell she'll have a girl"
Penny let out a laugh
"I'm gonna be a grandma"
Patty giggled. Penny just shook her head, laughing a bit as well.
