Thanks for all the reviews. Sorry I haven't updated in awhile, I had a very bad cold and a ton of make up work. By the way, I forgot to mention Phoebe is in college.
A couple of days later.
At P3 Piper was sorting through the paperwork. Leo was standing next to her cleaning off some glasses. The hadn't said anything to each other for a couple hours.
"I love you" Piper said.
"What!" Leo exclaimed.
"I can't hold it in anymore. I love you, Leo" Piper said.
"But I thought you loved…"Leo was cut off.
"I thought I did too, but when you were gone, all I felt was emptiness, and then when you came back, it was like I was whole again. I realize I love you" Piper said.
"I love you too" Leo said about to kiss her.
"Wait" Piper said.
"What?" Leo said.
"You have to wait until tomorrow to do that" Piper said.
"Why?" Leo said.
"Because I haven't told Dan yet and I don't feel right kissing you while he…" Piper was cut off when she her someone clear their throat. "Dan! How long have you been standing there?"
"Long enough to know I'm not wanted here" Dan said turning to leave.
"Wait! Leo can you give us a minute?" Piper asked.
"Yeah, I'll be in the back" Leo said as he turned to leave.
"Piper, you don't have to explain" Dan said.
"Yes, I do" Piper said. "Dan, you are the best guy a girl could ever hope to have. You never did anything wrong in our relationship. You loved me and you sat there without saying anything when I was constantly running off. But I'm not being fair to you if I stay in this relationship. You need to go find another girl who will treat you the way you treat them. I'm really sorry Dan, I hope you understand" Piper said.
"What I don't understand is how you can be with him after everything I've found out about him" Dan said.
"Dan I know who Leo is" Piper said softly.
"What! You know who his is and you just let me keep searching and worrying" Dan said. "I was trying to protect you"
"I know, and I'm sorry" Piper said.
"You know what, I think I'll just leave now" Dan said.
"Dan, you have to understand" Dan cut her off.
"Piper, you don't have to explain, I'll just go"
Dan left. Leo came out.
"So I guess you heard everything" Piper said.
"Pretty much" Leo said.
"Should we be worried about him finding out that you are that Leo Wyatt?" Piper asked.
"I don't know" Leo said. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I guess I wasn't quite expecting him to take it like that, but I guess if I were in his place that's how I would take it"
"It'll take some time but he'll get over it" Leo said.
"I hope so" Piper said.
Prue woke up in the rocking chair in the nursery. She had been dreaming about talking to Andy. It seemed so real. She looked at the clock.
"Noon?" Prue said to herself.
There was a note on the dresser.
Prue,
Piper and I didn't want to wake you up. We've already fed the girls, got them dressed, and put them down for a nap. Piper is at P3 and I had to go to class. Call if you need anything.
Love,
Phoebe
Prue looked in the cribs. Andrea and Ava were sleeping soundly.
"I guess I'll go take a shower" Prue said to herself.
Prue went and took her shower and got ready. The phone rang.
"Hello?" Prue said as she answered the phone.
"Hey, it's Phoebe. I'm coming home for lunch. Did you see the note?"
"Yeah I did. I guess those 2:00 AM wake up calls finally got to me" Prue said.
"Piper and I figured you needed your rest"
"Thanks"
"You're welcome. I'll see you soon"
"Okay, bye" Prue said.
"Bye"
Prue hung up the phone.
Andrea and Ava started crying.
"I'm coming girls" Prue said walking upstairs.
When she got to the nursery, a demon was standing over Ava's crib.
"Get the hell away from my daughters" Prue said using her telekinesis to fling the demon into a wall.
The demon shimmered away.
"It's okay girls. The mean demon is gone. Nobody's going to hurt you." Prue said trying to get the girls to stop crying.
Prue picked the girls up and started rocking them.
"I'm home!" Phoebe yelled from downstairs.
Prue came downstairs with a crying Ava and Andrea.
"What's wrong?" Phoebe said noticing the worried look on Prue's face.
"Another demon attacked" Prue said.
"What! That's the fourth one in three days" Phoebe said.
"I know, we have to do something about it, the girls are really scared"
"Let's go check in the Book of Shadows and see if there's a spell we can use to keep the demons away from the girls" Phoebe said. "Should we call Piper?"
"Not yet" Prue said. "Let's check the book first"
Phoebe and Prue headed up to the attic. Prue laid the now quiet, girls in the bassinet they had in the attic. They started flipping through the book.
"Wait" Prue said. "That's the demon that attacked the girls today"
"Imunuses" Phoebe said, "Low level demons that work for Darsus, capturing souls with their deadly kiss"
"Lovely, but what do they want with the girls?" Prue asked.
"I don't know, I think we should look up Darsus" Phoebe said.
Phoebe flipped through the pages.
"Found him" Phoebe said. "Upper level demon who steals young witches souls and feeds on the innocence. Then after he has fed on them he absorbs their power. The younger the witch is, the more innocence their soul has. Darsus is immune to witches powers. A spell said by the young witch's mother and father is the only way to vanquish him"
"I don't suppose it says what to do if one of the parents is dead?" Prue asked.
"No" Phoebe said.
"Basically the demon after my kids can't be vanquished because Andy's dead" Prue said. "So what, I get to sit here and watch my kids die?"
"Prue, there's got to be another way to vanquish him" Phoebe said. "I think we should call Piper"
"Agreed" Prue said.
Phoebe picked up the phone and called Piper to tell her what had happened.
"Okay, bye" Phoebe said hanging up the phone. "Piper says she's leaving now"
"Okay" Prue said. "I had a thought. If Darsus is immune to witches powers than why isn't he attacking us himself?"
"I don't know. Maybe we have a lazy demon" Phoebe said resting her hands on the bassinet.
Just then Phoebe got a premonition. There was Prue, who looked about six, standing next to Piper, who looked about four, holding a baby Phoebe. They were in the someplace dark.
"Prudence! Take your sisters and go hide, mommy needs to vanquish the demon" Patty said.
Prue took her sisters and ran to a tree and hid. Piper started to cry.
"Piper, don't cry mommy's going to be alright. She is gonna to vanquish the meanie demon who tried to take us from grams" Prue whispered.
Just then Patty was thrown into a tree by Darsus.
"Mommy!" Four year old Piper yelled.
Baby Phoebe started crying.
"Piper, I think mommy is going to need our help" Little Prue said. "Take Phoebe's hand and repeat after me. "To help our mommy vanquish the meanie, we call on the power of three to fight. Bye, bye Darsus say good night"
Piper grabbed Phoebe's hand and Prue grabbed Piper's other hand. The three girls started saying the spell. Darsus exploded. Phoebe's premonition ended.
"Phoebe" Prue said. "Phoebe what did you see?"
"Us, Piper, you, and me. I was a baby and you were holding me. Piper was standing next to you. Mom told you to take Piper and me and hide. She was trying to vanquish Darsus"
"What?" Prue said. "I don't remember that"
"You should of, you were about six and you saved mom, Piper, and me" Phoebe said.
"What do you mean?" Prue asked.
"Mom got thrown into a tree and she was unconscious. You told Piper to grab my hand and say the spell you had made up"
"Did it work?" Prue asked.
"I think so, Darsus exploded"
"What was the spell, we can use it now" Prue said.
"Prue, if you vanquished him then, then how can he be the demon after the girls now?" Phoebe asked.
"Maybe he came back, it wouldn't be the first time a demon came back" Prue said.
"He didn't come back" a voice said from behind them. "It's his son"
