Together – Forever! Part 20:
Much to handle for Prue

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

After Prue was dressed, she left her room to go downstairs, just to find everyone at the kitchen table

"Morning"

She said lowly

"Oh sorry, did we interrupt?"

Piper asked ironically. Phoebe just looked down for a second, before getting up and giving Prue a hug

"I've missed you, sis"

She told her, causing Prue to smile a little as well. Phoebe was mad at Prue for leaving them this long as well, but she also understood, that Prue always gave everything up for them. It was just this once, she finally did what she wanted to do. She finally listened to her sisters and what they had told her Piper's wedding. That she couldn't just always put herself behind her sisters

"I'm sorry… Andy and I had to… clear some things"

Prue said hugging her back.

"I see we have a guest…"

Prue said and looked at Paige, while pulling from Phoebe away

"Hey… I'm Prue…"

"Paige, hey"

"Umm… Prue… she's not a guest… she's our sister… a new witch…"

Phoebe said

Prue starred for a few seconds at Paige and then at Phoebe. She let out a laugh

"That one was reeeal good, Pheebs"

"It's no joke, Prue"

Piper said coldly. Prue froze as well

"Sam got mom pregnant… Paige's our baby sister. Well.. Half sister"

"Want a short review? Sam and mom, a baby, new power… power of three exists with any combination of us four, we all together… all four together have or are the charmed ones or the charmed ones power or the power of four. Together no one can defeat us… if you'll excuse me now, because I need to go to the club"

Piper said getting up, as she wasn't planning on forgiving her sister this fast. Prue would have gone after Piper, but she was still too shocked about the fact of a new sister. She starred at Paige for a second

"You… you have mom's eyes… and Sam's hair"

She told Paige. At first looking emotionless at Paige, then a small smile appeared on her lips

"Welcome to the family…."

She said warmly.

"Thanks"

Paige answered, smiling as well.

"Umm, we told Paige it was okay, if she moved into Grams' old room…"

"Yeah… it's… it's okay…"

Prue said forcing a smile. Then looked back down at the floor

"Sweetie, everything okay?"

Phoebe asked concerned

"The… the elders called Andy… I… I don't think they'll let him return…"

Prue said lowly

"That's… nonsense… he'll be back in no time… I'm sure"

"I… I know… I… I Hope… but… I just… have this… weird feeling…"

Phoebe looked at Prue… she never had seen Prue this close before crying, it seemed like the past 2 weeks had changed her sister a lot. Phoebe went over to Prue and pulled her into a tight hug. Prue cried lowly into her shoulder. Paige looked uncomfortable around and then went closer to her sisters and put a hand on Prue's shoulder. Seconds later, Prue pulled away and wiped her tears

"Now… about this power of… four?"

"Yeah… what about it…"

"How do we activate it?"

"We… don't know… but Leo thinks, its might activated like the power of three was…"

"All together, in the attic, by full moon"

Phoebe nodded

"Well... Tonight's full moon, isn't it?"

"Yeah… we hoped you'd be back tonight"

Paige told her

"Well… I am… but… one is missing still… I try to talk to piper and get her here…"

Prue said and looked around. Then grabbed her keys from the board in the kitchen

"Prue… Umm.. I'm new into this… but… you think you can drive in this condition?"

Phoebe smiled

"Yeah… If anyone can drive this way, Prue can"

"Yeah… I Hope it'll clear my mind a bit…"

Prue said smiling bravely

"Well… bye"

Prue said and pecked Phoebe and then looked at Paige

"I'm sorry… I… just need a little time…"

"It's okay…"

Paige said smiling. Prue smiled back at her and then finally turned around and left the manor.

"you really were right, she's really like a mom"

Paige said grinning at Phoebe

"yeah… but... I'm afraid, this is all too much to handle for Prue… she already lost a baby once, because she had too much of trouble, she had to handle at once…"
