Together – Forever! Part 35:
Announcement no. 2 and 3

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

"Okay… hum… the.. The second announcement is also the third"
Prue prepared carefully
"Okay… go ahead…"
Julia said smiling
"The news is… that… I'm engaged"
She said smiling, showing the ring around. Then looked at victor and his face
"Okay… thanks that I could meet him before u opened this up to me… or us…"
"You know him, dad."
She told him and then looked at everyone else
"You all do… but…. It's not… that normal… that he's here… so… that's the third kind of announcement… so… umm... please don't be… too shocked…"
Prue said. She didn't know how to prepare them better for this, as all looked at her confused. There was no one they al knew… at least they thought so
"Honey!"
She called

Andy jumped up at Prue's voice and walked down the stairs, trying to stay as calm as possible. He tried hard to hide and control his nervousness. As you don't tell your parents every day, that you're not dead anymore.

Julia froze dead in her tracks as she saw Andy entering the living, just like Richard. It was impossible, that Andy was there. He was dead. they buried him. They visited his grave a billion of times. This was impossible. Darryl looked speechless at his partner, but was in the end the first one to react
"Andy?"
"Hey Darryl. Don't worry. It's me. I'm not a ghost. Not anymore. I'm a whitelighter… like Leo… and… Sam for that matter…"
He added for his mom, so she understood it as well.
Julia shook her head slightly as tears ran down her cheeks. She couldn't believe her eyes. She got up and kinda flew into his arms
"Oh my god… my baby!"
She said gripping tightly onto him, just to make sure, it was really him. She cried into his chest, still not sure, if it really was her son.
"Mom.. You're.. Umm… suffocating me"
He told her smiling and Julia's grip loosened a bit, but she still cried into his chest
"Shshshs… it's okay…. It's really me… I'm back, mom"
He told her rubbing his mother's back, as Richard joined them and put a hand on each one's back
"I always wanted to tell you, how proud I was on you"
"I know dad…"
Andy told him nodding.
Prue just sat by and smiled at them. She was glad she could make them all so happy. Especially Andy. Victor saw Prue's tearing eyes at the sight of Julia crying at Andy's chest. He smiled at her and then hugged her
"Congratulations, sweetie"
"Thank you, dad"
"I gotta thank you… I finally have the son I always wanted"
Prue smiled a little and looked into Andy's eyes.. Julia finally pulled away as well and looked at Prue as well
"Welcome to the family"
She told Prue, drying her eyes again while Andy went over to give Darryl a manly hug
"I missed ya tons, man!"
Darryl told Andy
"Me too, partner, me too"
"Yeah… but that won't be possible now anymore, now will it?"
"Yes it will… everyone thinks I never died. Except the people that were the closest to me and those are all her in this room at the moment."
Andy said
"So… you'll come back to work soon again, just like nothing happened?"
"Yeah… I was on holiday the last few weeks"
Andy said grinning
"Yeah… well we'll still talk about"
Prue said seriously. She honestly still didn't like that idea at all. Andy smiled sweetly at her and went up to her and kissed her passionately
"That's not gonna change my mind, Andrew"
Prue told him as they pulled away again from each other. Julia just let out a laugh
"You can't forbid those men to not do it… I tried a million times with Richard"
"Well… I have some methods to keep him home"
She said grinning and then looked back at Julia
"Can you repeat again what you said before the Richard-thing?"
Prue asked
"What? Welcome to the family?" .
