To all of you who have commented about Phoebe, I haven't really been meaning to portray her as selfish it's more a role reversal. Prue is finally following her heart or trying too, so Phoebe has stepped up to be the voice of logic. son gomay vidal goku I think your question about Andy will be answered in this chapter.

The crossbow appeared instantly in Andy's hands, "Let her go" he said calmly taking a purposeful aim.
"You won't fire" The demon, pulled Prue tighter to his body, "You might hit the innocent"
"I'm anything but an innocent!" Prue growled stepping on the creatures foot making him release his tight grip.
"Witch!" the demon hissed unknowingly.
"You got that right" Forcing the demon's hand, Prue attempted to flip him over her shoulder but succeeded in only receiving the tip of the demons athame into her side. "OW!" the child inside of Prue felt her pain and instantly made her physical image fade.
"Hey where'd she go?" Neither Andy nor the demon noticed Prue fall to her knees. Silently she scooted out of the way and huddled against the wall of the building. Both Andy and the demon looked at her each other bewildered for a moment before Andy fired his crossbow "I don't know where she went but I know that you've earned a first class ticket straight back to hell"
"No!" The demon screamed and then burst into flames as the arrow struck his chest. "Prue?" Andy looked about concerned. He'd seen the demon stab Prue and knew she had to be injured.
Natalie didn't hold grudges, yeah right. Prue grabbed the front of his shirt, speaking callously, "I don't want your white lighter, I want mine"
Andy looked about, noting that people were starting to gather, "okay but not here".
"Do you need a doctor?" A man asked stepping up to them.
Andy tenderly swooped Prue into his arms, thanking the man, "I got it covered". He then went around to the side of the building and orbed them both to the park, setting Prue in the swing. "Ow!" Thankfully it was getting dark and no one was around to notice the orbs.
"Sorry" he hissed taking a moment to examine the wound, "It's not that bad, it's just a flesh wound."
"Yeah well it still hurts like hell," Prue winced at the feel of his fingers against her tender flesh.
"hmm...Andy thought for a moment, I wonder how it compares to being thrown out of a window?"
"Natalie deserved that!" Prue countered as he pressed a rag from his pocket to her side. "Ow!"
"Well at least we know now that Natalie had good reason to be cautious"
Prue's left eyebrow arched, "what do you mean?"
"I mean your little invisibility trick back there, it's quite obvious that you copied my powers"
"Copied your powers?" Prue repeated, "look, I know you don't want to believe me but Natalie-" Andy didn't let her finish.
"How else would you explain it, then? I mean come on, there had be some sort of evil act or another spell"
A tight grin of pleasure spread across Prue's face, "Oh there was an evil act all right it was called SEX and I might add at the time you thoroughly seemed to enjoy it"
"Andy shook his head, "don't flatter yourself sweetheart, I think if I enjoyed something that much I would at least remember it"
"Prue's lips pursed seething with anger, it's good to know that your still cocky as ever"
"Cocky?" Something about the word triggered something in Andy's brain.
Flashback
Bay Video Outlet
Fall 1998
Andy stood looking at a row of video tape selections, "It's really doesn't matter what we video choose, we'll never get around to watching it anyways"
"Oh yeah, Pretty Cocky?" Prue stood on the opposite of the aisle, arms crossed over her chest, looking at him with a seductive smile. She was dressed in a short a-line black shirt, with a matching jacket that had an animal print around the collar.
Andy set the video that was in hand back on the shelf and walked up to her, "Actually what I meant was something always seems to come up. Get in our way".Ever since he'd run into Prue again, it seemed that they'd suffered nothing but a string of broken dates.
"That's not true. OK, well, maybe it's sometimes true", Prue admitted, "but there's always a perfectly good reason."
Andy's smile grew as he reached to brush a fallen hair away from her face, "Prue, there's never a perfectly good reason. As a matter of fact, there's never usually even a reason at all. Good, bad, or otherwise".
Prue's arms wrapped around his neck, "All right. You...me...alone...tonight. Nothing and I mean nothing will get in our way. Guaranteed.
I'll hold you to that," he grinned.
OK, Prue whispered, leaning into his kiss
"Andy, trust me," Prue touched his forearm, breaking his thoughts. "Whether you remember or not we made love and now I'm pregnant. The baby, our baby makes me fade when it senses danger. It has your power"
"That's impossible"
"Why?" Prue challenged.
"Because, my powers aren't inherited, they're earned."
"Are you sure?" Prue questioned sensing his doubt, "Let me guess, Natalie told you that right"
"She's my white lighter" Andy defended. White lighters were the ones he's been taught to trust implicitly.
"Ok," Prue swallowed taking a moment to rake a hand through her hair, "then answer me this, why are we here?"
Andy's hands fell to his hips. "Why are we here?"
"Don't answer my question with another question, that's not fair"
Andy's eyes narrowed as he chewed his lip, "we're here because I orbed you here"
"I know that, " Prue nodded "But why did we land here? Why did you choose this place?"
Andy thought for a moment, "honestly, I don't know. I come here to think"
"I know why," Prue answered, "it's because you proposed me right here on this swing; our swing". Andy shook his head. "Andy, you first kissed me right here on this swing."
Andy felt a pang in his chest, he wanted to remember, he really did but he needed more time to process what he'd just heard, "you really need to call your white lighter" he replied stiffly.
"No Andy Wait!" Prue reached for his hand but before she could grab it, he was gone. Tears filled her eyes, forcing her to look heavenward, "Leo". Leo orbed in as Andy orbed out, their paths never crossing.
The white lighters face flooded with concern when he saw the blood, "Prue what happened?"
"Just heal me," Prue whispered miserably.
