A/N: Jade-eye Halliwell: thanks so much for taking time to review! Wyatt333: Yep, the sequel, Eternally Charmed, will focus on the birth of Prue and Andy's third child. son gomay vidal goku: uh, it's Charmed and anything can happen? Alaine was a living "magical spirit" therefore in my world, she has a destiny. Princess Pinky: I just made up Millicent and at the moment, I am torn as to whether she will be Millie or Ally. As far as Paige goes, I just try to write the characters as I view their personality. If I may say I've really missed "the Sister thing" since Prue was killed off... Zythe: I'm glad you liked the chapter. Prue's just got a thing with death so it made sense to me, that she would need to confront the Angel himself...as far as Destiny goes...you will have to wait and see. Sci-Fi Gillian and ShanFan: Thanks again! prueandandyalways: Cool Penname Thanks so much for your kinds words. I really appreciate you taking the time to review.
This chapter is set about 3 weeks into the future
Charmed in the Afterlife: Vanished"You about ready?"
"Almost," Prue replied tossing her fuzzy pink sweater into her a suite case. After the visit with the angel of death the decision to spend sometime alone with Andy at the SPA had been easy. Turning into a fury had given her a new perspective, making her realize how essential it was not to bottle up her feelings.
"I just need to finish this check off list so that Piper and Paige have everything they need to take care of Amanda".
Andy looked at the six pages of notebook paper that Prue had scrawled out in her frilly handwriting. "Did you remember to tell them to feed her?"
"Funny" Prue hissed slamming the list into his chest.
Andy gasp, faking pain, "we could still take her with us"
Prue snatched the list away from his hands. "No...no...you and I need this time alone" They still needed to heal as a couple and work through their loss together. Pressing to her tip toe's Prue kissed him gently, "I'll be right back"
"I'll meet you downstairs," he smiled in the special grin that had been reserved only for her. Prue hurried down the stairs to find her sisters in the kitchen still mulling over their morning coffee. "Okay, I think, I've covered everything. Are you sure you guys can handle a couple of days without me?"
Prue handed Paige the list causing her young sister to gape softly. "Six pages?"
Phoebe pulled her mug away from her lips, "Hmm...you at a SPA, getting rub down and facial while the rest of us are stuck here fighting demons? I don't think so"
Prue bit the side of her cheek, in thoughtful reflection, "Well Phoebe it's not all quite that glamorous, Andy and I aren't exactly going away to have the sexual revolution of our lives"
"I know you aren't sweetie," Phoebe circled around the island to give her sister a hug, "we just want you to have a good time, so that you'll get better".
"Me too" Prue kissed the side of Phoebe's cheek, and then smiled at Piper who was holding Amanda. Tenderly Prue took her child from Piper's arms pulling her into a hug, "And you little missy witch, you be a good girl for you aunties while I'm gone". She kissed Amanda's forehead, speaking in a cheeky voice, "Daddy and I will see you in a few days. We love you"
"wuv you" Amanda repeated reaching back for Piper.
"Have a good time" Piper smiled, "and don't worry about anything, Paige and I have everything under control. Right Paige?"
"Right" Paige replied distantly staring wide eyed at the list of instructions. "Six pages" she muttered again in disbelief as Andy came into the kitchen with Shaylee trailing.
"Bags are all packed, ready to go"
"I'm ready," Prue returned sliding her arms around his waist
"So your parents are leaving?" Shaylee locked eyes with Amanda, giving her a narrowing glance. Frightened, Amanda gasped, and orbed into Andy's arms, separating him from Prue.
"Whoa"
Amanda's legs wrapped tight around him with her fingers digging deeply into his neck.
" Looks like somebody doesn't want you to go" Paige surmised setting the list on the counter before she pulled Amanda from Andy's arms.
"Hey, what's up with you? Don't you know that Mommy and Daddy need sometime to themselves"
Amanda grunted, plopping her thumb into her mouth, and turned invisible.
"Maybe we shouldn't go," Prue said unsure looking at the spot where Amanda was sitting in Paige's arms.
Andy took a hold her hand, reeling back into his chest, "Prue she'll be fine"
"She'll be fine as soon as you're gone" Piper assured stroking the back of Amanda's invisible head. "Go have a good time"
"But-"
"But nothing. We'll send Leo or Paige if we need you" Piper added
Prue sighed hesitantly, wrapping her arms around Andy once again, "okay, let's go".
"You can still change you mind"
Phoebe's chestnut eyes narrowed, as she shoved her hand into Andy's back, "Ssh...none of that. Now orb, go have a good time and don't for get the revolutionary sex!"
Andy raised an embarrassed eyebrow to Prue, "revolutionary sex? Not that I'm complaining but-"
"Phoebe's just being Phoebe," Prue stated as they orbed away with Piper speaking in the speaking in the aftermath of their glow.
"I swear Phoebe, your head, has seen more hotel pillows, that a chocolate mint"
"What? I just want them to have good time and maybe if they could make another baby that would help"
"I don't think they want to replace Ally right now, Phoebe. They saw her in the flesh, her soul is still alive" Paige commented, tickling Amanda's sides in hopes that she would make herself visible. Amanda couldn't help but giggle as Paige pressed her lips to her forehead, making a loud kissing noise.
"Nobody wants to replace you either, Missy Witch"
"Ally? We're calling our niece's spirit Ally?" Phoebe echoed, "what happened to Millie?"
The darklighter appeared behind Piper causing her to shiver.
"Piper you okay?" Phoebe quickly noticed the change in Piper's face.
Paige set invisible Amanda on the counter. "Yeah honey what is it?"
Piper looked around, feeling a strange twinge. "I don't know. It's like I feel evil"
Phoebe's head whipped in all directions, "evil? Evil's here?" Piper pressed a hand to her stomach, "it's here in the kitchen. I think the baby can sense it"
Shaylee focused on the dark lighter staring him down, until his eyes followed hers, settling on Amanda. "The invisible child". By taking her, he could turn sister against sister, plaguing on Piper's guilt. The darklighter moved quietly between the sisters until he reached the counter top where Amanda was sitting.
"Don't say a word" In flash his hand clamped over her tiny mouth, orbing her out leaving Shaylee to grin silently.
"I'll never tell"
Piper blinked and made her eyes go wide, feeling a presence leave the room. "It's gone, I felt it leave"
"It's not the only thing". Paige's face turned frantic as her hands began to roam the counter top. "Amanda? She's gone"
Piper's eyes grew wide again. "Gone what you mean gone?"
Paige ran a hand through her hair, "I mean she was right here and now she isn't"
"Well maybe she just orbed up to her room" Phoebe put in hopefully, watching Paige shake her head.
"No she doesn't have the power to be invisible and orb at the same time"
Piper placed a hand on her hip looking at Phoebe worriedly, "then the evil that was here must have taken her"
"Prue's going to kill us"
Reeling in the sister's distress Shaylee to turned to the kitchen window, picking up on a hypnotic tune. An ice cream truck was lurking right outside.
