Thank you for all the reviews. I really appreciate them. I'm sorry I didn't update very soon, but now school's out so I can update sooner (Yea!). Bloomin Daisy: It's basically going to be like Andy never died. He's going to be like a normal human again. Sammi and Emma: Starting in a couple more chapters I'm going to start having more Piper/Leo as well as Phoebe stuff. The next few chapters are going to be Prue and Andy centered I know it might get a little boring but it leads to the Piper/Leo stuff.
Andy and Prue were in the bathroom cleaning the girls off.
"I've missed so much" Andy said.
"Nothing that you won't be able to catch up on" Prue said. "The girls just took their first step today"
"I know, I saw" Andy said. "They're like you, stubborn"
It was silent for a minute.
"I can't believe you're here" Prue said. "I thought I'd never see you again"
"Well what can I say, being dead isn't for me" Andy said.
They laughed. Prue leaned her head on Andy's shoulder. Andy kissed the top of her head.
"The girls look tired" Prue said.
"Having a birthday takes the energy right out of you" Andy said.
They got the girls in their pajamas and put them in their cribs. Once the girls were asleep they headed to Prue's room.
"I am so tired" Prue said. "The girls have had problems sleeping the last few nights"
"Well, you can get some sleep tonight, I'll take care of the girls" Andy said.
"I glad you're back" Prue said.
"Actually I was never really gone" Andy said. "I was watching over you"
"I know; I felt you"
Prue started changing into her pajamas.
"Here" Prue said handing Andy some of his old pajamas. "I had these in my closet"
"Thanks"
They changed into their pajamas and got into bed.
"I love you" Andy said.
"I love you too" Prue said.
Prue fell asleep in Andy's arms. Then Andy fell asleep.
Andy woke up to Prue shaking him. Prue was holding Ava and she was crying.
"Andy!" Prue exclaimed. "Wake up! Something's wrong with Ava!"
"What's wrong?" Andy asked.
"She has a fever and she won't stop crying" Prue said.
"I'll go get Leo" Andy said.
He went to Piper's room and knocked on the door.
"Leo, Piper!" Andy said, "There's something wrong with Ava!"
Piper opened the door.
"Where is she?" Piper asked.
"She's with Prue in our room" Andy said. "She won't stop crying and she's running a fever"
"I'll go get the thermometer" Piper said. "Leo go see if you can heal her"
"Unless it's something demonic I can't" Leo said.
"I don't care, go!" Piper said.
Leo and Andy went to Prue's room where Prue was holding the still crying Ava.
"I don't know what's wrong with her" Prue said panicked.
Leo tried to heal Ava. It didn't work.
"Why can't you heal her?" Prue said.
"It's not demonic" Leo said.
Piper came in with the thermometer. Prue took Ava's temperature.
"It's 103" Prue said. "We have to get her to the hospital"
"Leo can you orb them to the hospital?" Piper asked.
"No, I'm being called the Elders" Leo said orbing away.
"I'll drive" Andy said. "Piper stay here with Andrea"
Andy and Prue got in the car and drove to the emergency room. After they filled out some paper they sat in the waiting room.
"Halliwell, Ava" the doctor said.
"That's us" Andy said getting up.
Andy and Prue followed the doctor into a room. Prue was holding Ava who was still crying.
"What's the problem?" the doctor asked.
"She has a fever of 103 and she won't stop crying" Prue said.
The doctor examined Ava.
"I'm going to have to take some blood" the doctor said. "We probably won't know exactly what's wrong with her until later on tonight"
"Something is seriously wrong" Prue said. "What if by the time you figure it out she's too sick"
"It's probably just a cold" the doctor said. "But to make sure we're going to want to keep her overnight"
"I'll stay with her" Prue said.
"I'll stay too" Andy said.
"What about Andrea?" Prue asked.
"We can ask your sisters to watch her for the night" Andy said.
"This is the first time she's been without Ava and me" Prue said.
"She'll be fine Prue" Andy said. "I'm going to go call Piper and tell her what's going on"
Andy left to go call Piper. The doctor took some blood.
"I'm going to take this to be tested" the doctor said. "You can take Ava to the children's ward"
"Okay" Prue said.
The doctor left the room.
Andy came back in.
"Piper said it's alright and that Phoebe and she will take care of Andrea" Andy said.
"Okay" Prue said.
Prue picked up Ava and was rocking her back and forth.
"She's going to be okay Prue" Andy said.
They walked over to the children's ward. Once Ava was settled Andy decided to go get some clothes for Prue, Ava, and him.
"I'll be back soon, Prue" Andy said.
Andy left.
Prue looked at Ava in the crib. Her face was flushed and she was sleeping restlessly.
"Its okay baby, everything's okay" Prue said.
She reached in and grabbed Ava's hand.
At the manor Phoebe had woken up and Piper had filled her in on what was going on. Andy walked in the door.
"Any news?" Phoebe asked.
"Nope not yet" Andy said. "How's Andrea"
"We just got her to sleep. We had to give her one of Ava's stuffed animals" Piper said.
"I've got to get back to Prue" Andy said.
He went upstairs and packed a bag for Prue, Ava, and him. Then he gave Andrea a kiss good bye. When he was about to leave Leo orbed in.
"The Elders called me away" Leo said, "They told me nobody remembers Andy dying except for whoever was at the birthday party. They don't have any information on what's wrong with Ava"
"Gee they're helpful" Phoebe said.
"I really have to go" Andy said. "I'll call when we find out something"
Andy left.
Back at the hospital Andy had arrived. He told Prue what Leo had said.
"They haven't found out anything?" Andy asked.
"No" Prue said.
Just then the doctor walked in.
"Do you know what's wrong?" Prue asked.
"After looking at the results of the blood test, we suspect she's been poisoned" the doctor said. "There were high levels of it in her blood. Now that we know what it is we should be able to stop it. Has Ava gotten into any medicine cabinets?"
"No, all of them are too high to reach" Prue said.
"Well the poison we found in her blood was a kind that's only found in a heart medicine. If Ava didn't get into it herself, someone would have had to given it to her" the doctor said.
"Who would poison a one year old?" Prue said.
"I would suggest you call the police department" the doctor said.
"Andy can you call someone" Prue said. "I want to stay with her"
"I'll go call Darryl and then I'll call you're sisters" Andy said.
After he had called everyone he came back into the room. Prue had fallen asleep. He covered her up in a blanket and sat down beside her.
"I won't leave you again" Andy said to Ava. "I'll stay right here"
The next morning Prue woke up and found Andy awake with Ava.
"How's she doing?" Prue asked.
"She seems better but she still has a fever" Andy said. "Listen, I'm going to go to the police department today, if what Leo said is true then I still have my job. I'm going to see if I can help with finding who poisoned Ava"
"Do you really think it was human?" Prue asked.
"Well from what I know about demons, poisoning isn't their thing" Andy said.
"Still it could be a demon" Prue said. "What human do you know who would want to poison a one year old?"
"The same humans I used to arrest for killing a five year old" Andy said. "Humans can be just as bad as demons, which is why I want to make sure nothing happens to Andrea or Ava"
"Okay" Prue said. "I'm going to go change"
Prue went into the bathroom. Andy's cell phone rung.
"Hello" Andy said.
"How's Ava?" Darryl said.
"She seems better" Andy said. "Have you found out anything on who's trying to poison Ava?"
"Right now they're positive she got into the medicine cabinet, there's nothing that suggests anything else" Darryl said.
"But she didn't" Andy said. "Prue and I were with her every second, plus the medicine cabinets are too high for her to reach"
"I know, but if it were any other people but you guys I would assume exactly what they are" Darryl said. "I've got to go, I'll call if there's any change"
"Bye" Andy said.
"Bye"
Prue came out of the bathroom.
"Who was that?" she asked.
"Darryl, he said that the police think Ava just got into the medicine cabinet" Andy said.
"So what, we're lying" Prue said.
"I'm going to go to the police department to try and find something today, Prue. I'm not going to let anyone the girls"
Just then flowers arrived.
"These are for you" Prue said puzzled.
Andy looked at the card. It said: The poison was just a warning, next time I won't be so kind.
"Prue, look at the card" Andy said.
She read it.
"Who would do something like this?" Prue said.
"I don't know but now the police should believe us" Andy said. "I'm going to head over to the police department; first I'm calling one of your sisters to come stay with you"
"Andy I can stay here alone" Prue said.
"If someone out there hates me enough to poison my daughter, what's going to stop them from hurting you or Andrea?" Andy said.
"I can protect myself, I'm in a crowded hospital, besides it's you who shouldn't be going alone" Prue said.
"Don't worry about me" Andy said.
"Don't worry about you? You just came back from the dead and now someone else wants you dead again and you really think I'm not going to worry about you?" Prue said.
"I'll be fine" Andy said leaving.
Prue paced around the room.
She decided to call her sisters.
"Hello?" Piper said.
"Someone's after Andy" Prue said. "He got some flowers with a card that said, the poison was just a warning, next time I won't be so kind"
"Does Andy have any idea who it is?" Piper asked.
"No, he went to the police department to try and find out. I afraid though, all he cares about is the girls and me; he won't protect himself"
"We're pretty sure it's human, right?" Piper asked. "I'm putting you on speaker phone"
"Yeah, unless demons write cards and send flowers" Prue said.
"What can we do to help?" Phoebe asked.
"I don't know; we've never had to stop a human, only demons" Prue said.
"Prue, can you think of anyone who would hold a grudge against Andy?" Leo said.
"No, technically he's been dead for a year" Prue said.
"Well if they want to hurt Andy, there's an easy way to do it" Phoebe said. "To hurt you and the girls"
"I know; which is why Andy won't leave me alone" Prue said. "I do agree on one thing with Andy, we can't let the girls out of our sight"
"Don't worry, we won't" Piper said. "Oh, did they say when Ava's being released?"
"No, not yet" Prue said.
"Do you want us to bring Andrea up there today" Piper said. "She really misses Ava"
"Yeah, it would do Ava good to her" Prue said.
"Okay, we can bring her up in a few minutes if you want" Phoebe said.
"Sure" Prue said. "But be really careful, Andy loves you guys too, so the girls and I aren't the only ones in danger"
"We'll be careful" Piper said. "See you in a few minutes"
"Bye" Prue said.
She hung up the phone.
"Hey Ava" Prue said walking to the crib. "Ava?"
Ava wasn't moving.
"I need a doctor in here!" Prue yelled. "Someone help me! Ava wake up, come on please"
Ava was faintly breathing. A nurse rushed in.
"What's wrong?" the nurse asked.
"She's not moving" Prue said. "Why isn't she moving?"
"I don't know" the nurse said. "We need a doctor and a team of nurses in room 355 right away" she said into her walkie talkie.
A doctor and nurses came into the room.
"She's not responding to anything" the nurse said.
"Is she breathing" the doctor asked.
"Hardly" the nurse said.
"What's wrong with my baby?" Prue asked.
"We don't know yet, can you please wait outside?" the doctor said.
"No! I won't leave my baby" Prue said.
"Someone please take her outside!' the doctor said.
A nurse escorted Prue outside the door and then went back in and closed the door.
"My baby!" Prue yelled crying.
"Prue what's wrong!" Piper said running up to her.
"She wasn't, she wasn't moving. They won't let me in there" Prue said sobbing.
"Oh my god; Leo go get Andy and bring him back here right away" Piper said.
Piper hugged Prue.
"Come sit down over here"
Piper led Prue to a chair.
Phoebe stood by holding a crying Andrea. She tried to calm her down but it wouldn't work. Just then Leo orbed in with Andy.
"What's wrong?" Andy asked with panic in his voice.
He saw Prue crying.
"Ava wasn't moving; the doctors are in there right now" Piper said.
Andy walked over to Prue and hugged her. He had tears rolling down his cheeks.
It was then they noticed Andrea crying. Andy picked her up.
"Everything's okay sweetie" Andy said.
The doctor came out of the room.
"Her fever has shot up again. We stabilized her for now. If she makes it through the night she'll be fine, but I have to be honest with you, it doesn't look like the odds are very good"
"No! Not my baby!" Prue yelled hysterically crying. "You have to save my baby!"
She fell to the floor. Andy just stood there, shocked. Phoebe and Piper had tears in their eyes.
"I'll leave you to your daughter" the doctor said leaving.
Prue and Andy walked into the room. Ava had oxygen tubes.
"Ava, your sister's here to see you" Prue said. "She looks so sick"
Andy reached out for Prue's hand.
"She can't die, she won't die" Andy said. "She's strong, like you"
"I don't feel very strong right now" Prue said wiping tears from her eyes.
