A/N: son gomay vidal goku since you gave me your blessing, I included one of your spells in this chapter! I'm glad everyone is pleased with the name so far. I do have a "P" name in mind as well but that will be revealed later. As always, thanks for reading and reviewing!
Prue leaned on the door jam to her bedroom talking to Leo. It had been nearly a week since she and her sisters had vanquished Mandela and Andy still hadn't recovered. "Why isn't he getting better, Leo?'
Leo crossed his arms over his chest, "he is getting better, Prue. Healing from a demonic vanquish, isn't like a white lighter healing. Because of the evil involved it takes time. It's like getting over the flu. His body and his powers still need a little more time to recover, and after that he should be as good as new"
"Good as new?" A sarcastic smile spread to Prue's lips, "does that include his memory of me?"
This was one of those times when Leo absolutely hated being a white lighter, "Sorry, Prue. Andy's memory isn't something that is going to come back, not unless it happens on it own"
"oh yes it will", Pheobe crowed padded up behind them, waving a small piece of paper" I have the key to unlocking all of Andy's memories right here and now"
Prue smiled at her sister, "Phoebe you didn't write a spell did you?"
Phoebe handed her sister the paper, "one memory spell guaranteed to knock his socks and yours right off if you know what I mean"
"Phoebe" Prue frowned reading over the spell silently, "Magic forces black and white reaching out threw space and light let the elder's doings be cast adrift return what is right into our mists. I call upon the power of the highest the all mighty Undo the binding thats been made restore Andy's memory, and make the pain of Prue's broken heart forever fade."
"Phoebe, I can't use this," Prue said shoving the paper back into Phoebe's hands.
"What? Why? Prue, I worked all night on this"
Prue's brow furrowed slightly, "Why? Hello, Personal Gain. That's what got me into all of this in the first place"
"Oh" Phoebe sighed flatly, "I suppose you are right". She started to walk away.
"Phoebe wait!" Prue said reaching for her arm, "You're my sister, and I love you, but Leo is right if we are live free of consequence from our magic then Andy's memory has to come back on it's own".
"Couldn't the Elders just give it back?" Phoebe asked hopefully watching Leo frown.
"They could but I highly doubt that will happen"
"Well then, I guess it's off to work on plan B," Phoebe crowed tearing up the spell.
"Plan B?" Prue asked.
"We make him fall in love with you again" Phoebe smiled brightly, "but's that's after we find a way to hide the B-A-B-Y from Natalie and the you know whos". Neither saw Natalie orb in behind them.
"Hide what from who?"
"uh...mum..buh..."Phoebe stammered, "Hide the fact that I'm really not a blonde"
Natalie's brow furrowed with it's usual suspicion, as she watched the happy witch skip off down the hall, "Oh...Leo can I talk down stairs for a moment?"
"Sure" Leo shrugged stuffing his hands into his pockets, while Prue's face filled with worry.
"Wait, is something wrong?"
"It's just white lighter business" Natalie replied stiffly.
"Oh" Prue waited until they gone before walking into her room and taking a seat on the edge of her bed. Andy was sitting up, reading the journal she'd left on the nightstand,
"Catching up on your reading are you?" She asked. Andy closed the journal and set it back on the nightstand.
"Oh yeah, I hope you don't mind" Andy's face blushed with embarrassment as he realized he'd invaded her private thoughts, "I just saw you writing in it the other day, and I wanted to see what you wrote about us."
"It's okay" Prue smiled adjusting the sheets, that were laying loose about his chest, "did anything come back to you?"
"No" Andy shook his head sadly, "nothing but a sick swell in my stomach".
"What are you sick?" Prue's face instantly flooded with concern, making Andy laugh, "No I read that you once turned yourself into a man"
"To vanquish the Succubus" Prue smiled proudly, sitting up a bit taller, " But if I must say so I was a very handsome man even you would have found me attractive". She giggled watching Andy's upper lip curl, "I don't think so". The two laughed for a moment, before Andy's face turned serious. He reached out and touched her cheek with the back of his hand, "Prue, I want to remember what I felt for you, I really do"
"I know" Prue said, taking hold of his hand, "I promised you, I would make you remember, and I will. I just need to find a non-magical way to do that" She leaned in and kissed his cheek, "now if you'll excuse me, I have go perform, my morning ritual and throw up"
Andy held tightly to her hand as she attempted to get up, "Prue, I want to be here for you and the baby"
"I'd really like that, but are you sure that is going to be okay with Natalie?
"I'll take care of Natalie"
"Prue smiled and kissed his cheek again before pulling her hand away and making a mad dash for the bathroom.
Prue had just come out of the bathroom when Piper called to her, "Prue can you come down here for a moment?"
"I'll be right there!"
Piper, Phoebe, Leo and Natalie were all gathered in the living room when Prue came down the stairs, "what's up?"
"We have something for you" Leo announced proudly as a set of angelic orbs ascended into the room. "MOM!" The faces of all three girls lit of as Patty appeared in the flesh, her arms opened wide, "Come here my darlings!"
"As promised, your Mother's essence has been returned", Natalie added watching the happy reunion.
"Let's give them a moment," Leo suggested, giving Natalie a nod. The two white lighters disappeared, giving the four women some quite bonding time.
"Mom we so worried about you" Phoebe cooed, hugging Patty again.
"And I you" Patty returned, "especially you, Prue"
Prue looked at her mother strangely, "why?"
"Even though I couldn't see you, I felt that something was not right"
"Prues going to have a baby!" Phoebe squealed before gasping, "Do you think they heard me?"
Piper shook her head, watching her mother's face light up in rejoice with her oldest daughter, "Oh Prue! Your going really going to make me a grandma?"
Prue nodded with a huge grin, "Thanks to you, Andy and I are having a girl"
"My baby's having a baby, I always dreamed this day would come and now it's finally here" Patty whispered tearfully.
"We just have to keep it a secret a from the Elders" Piper added watching her mothers face fall.
"What? Prue are you sure that is something you want to do?"
"Prue nodded insistently, "Mom, they already took, Andy's memory away, I'd hate to think what they'd do if they found out about the baby" Neither of the three knew that Patty was already an expert in this situation. Unknown to anyone, Patty had conceived a fourth child with her white lighter Sam; a seemingly non-magical child that she had managed to keep hidden from everyone, including the elders.
"You could have a very good point," Patty added justifying her daughter's fears, "but you you can't hide her forever, not unless you intend on giving her away"
"Give her away?" Prue swallowed feeling sick again, "I hadn't thought about that" she whispered looking down at her stomach. "I want to keep her"
"But It might be the only way, if you're not willing to use magic," Patty touched Prue's shoulder, her face grim. "Sweetheart, you either have to come up with a fool proof plan or you have to tell them and suffer the consequences".
"But what if the consequences aren't as bad as the solution to the plan?" Phoebe asked, "I mean what could consequences could be worse than having to give your child away?"
Piper looked at their mother, "what would you do Mom?"
