Thank for all of the reviews I appreciate them a lot. I have no idea what the name of the newspaper Phoebe works for is. I know I know it but I can't seem to think of it right now. I don't know if I'll put Paige in the story. Personally I never liked Paige but I don't know if I'll put her in the story. I'm starting to think about if I should do a sequel or not. Review and tell me if you want one so I can start thinking and writing down ideas. If I do one it's probably going to start with the births of Piper and Prue's kids.
"Did you just say more than one?" Phoebe asked.
"Yes, I think Piper's pregnant" Ryan said. "The Elders are really going to throw a fit"
"Okay people, I know this is a surprise but I really need some help over here" Prue said.
Nobody did anything
"I'm pregnant too, now get over here!" Prue exclaimed.
"What!" Phoebe exclaimed.
"Piper and I were in the kitchen yesterday. I already suspected I was pregnant because I was craving pickles dipped in chocolate. She told me she wasn't feeling good and I asked her if she was late. She said yes and I told her she might be pregnant. We decided to go to the store to get pregnancy tests. When we got home and took them they were positive" Prue said while fighting off the demons.
"Geez, lay off of Andy" Phoebe said.
"That's gross" Prue said.
"Well it's true" Phoebe said. "Does Andy or Leo know?"
"Between getting kidnapped and facing every demon we've ever vanquished we haven't had time" Prue said.
Piper woke up.
"When were you going tell us you were pregnant?" Phoebe asked.
"Whenever Prue did" Piper said.
"Okay guys, vanquish first, argue later" Prue said. "First Jeremy"
"The power of three will set us free. The power of three will set us free. The power of three will set us free" the Charmed Ones said.
Jeremy burst into flames.
"We didn't vanquish those demons" Piper said pointing to the ones that were guarding Prue when she was in labor.
"While we have to now" Prue said.
Ryan threw spiked electricity balls at the demons.
"Oh crap" Prue said.
"What?" Phoebe asked.
"I really have to puke" Prue said clutching her hand to her mouth.
"Perfect timing" Phoebe said sarcastically. "Can you hold it for a second? There's no way you can get through all of the demons"
"Leo!" Piper yelled.
Leo orbed in.
"I heard everything" Leo said. "Come on Prue"
Leo orbed her to the bathroom downstairs.
In the attic Piper, Ryan, and Phoebe were fighting off the demons.
"Okay only a few more left" Piper said. "Then off to bigger problems"
Ryan threw spiked electricity balls at the last few demons. They exploded.
Prue came back upstairs with Leo.
"Ugh, I didn't miss this" Prue said.
"You're pregnant!" Leo said going over to Piper and giving her a kiss.
"Can someone go get my fiancé and children" Prue said sitting down.
"I'll go get them" Ryan said. "So, if you saw this then the Elders did too right?"
"Yeah" Leo said. "Amazingly they said it was fine if it didn't keep me from my work"
"Hmm" Ryan said noticing Prue was running back to the bathroom. "I better go get Andy"
"Back to saving the world for a second" Phoebe said. "I'm pretty sure using the spell, the power of three, and Ava and Andrea will work so we better try it"
"Okay" Piper said. "We'll just wait for Prue though"
Ryan orbed in with Andy and the girls.
"I'm just going to head to the bathroom" Andy said.
"Don't touch her, she'll yell at you" Phoebe said.
"Thanks for the warning" Andy said walking off.
"So Leo, are you looking forward to this?" Phoebe said.
"Hey, I won't be as bad" Piper said.
"So you say" Phoebe said.
Prue came walking back into the room.
"Okay, now we're going to summon Wedlov" Phoebe said. "Feel like vanquishing a demon, Prue?"
"Not really, but I will anyway" Prue said. "Andy, stay by Leo or Ryan so they can orb you out if necessary"
She took Ava and Andrea's hands.
"Can you girls help us vanquish a mean demon?" Prue asked.
Ava squealed.
"Okay, I think that's a yes" Phoebe said.
"Okay crystal cage ready?" Prue asked.
"Ready" Piper said placing the crystal down.
"Pheebs, say the spell" Prue said.
Phoebe said the summoning spell.
Wedlov appeared in the crystal cage.
"Quick the spell for the Halliwell line" Piper said.
Prue said the spell for calling the powers of the Halliwell line. Then they all recited the vanquishing spell Phoebe made for Wedlov. He exploded.
"That was easy" Phoebe said.
"Too easy" Piper said.
They thought for a second.
"Didn't you say something about a demon named Belthazor?" Prue said.
"Yeah he was working…with Wedlov" Phoebe said. "Great"
"Can't we take a break from this for the night" Prue said. "We've been fighting demons for two days straight"
"I think so otherwise we're going to overwork ourselves" Piper said. "And I need to set up a doctor's appointment"
"So do I" Prue said. "I think we all need to go to bed"
"Same here" Phoebe said. "But I have one question. What are you?"
Phoebe turned to Ryan.
"I guess I owe an explanation. I really am a whitelighter, well half whitelighter. My father was a whitelighter and my mother was half witch, half demon. This makes me ¼ demon, ¼ witch, and ½ whitelighter. Weird combination I know. The Elders found out about my birth and took me away. They were going to take away all of my powers and make me human but they realized that if I was good then I could be of use. They raised me up there and made me a whitelighter but I also went undercover and got them information. Now they have assigned me a charge, actually two, Ava and Andrea. Since I have an active power they figured I could protect them. Now Leo doesn't have to keep orbing them up there" Ryan said.
"Wow" Phoebe said. "I thought my life was complicated"
"This is great though, now the girls have someone besides us protecting them" Prue said.
"I'm going to go to bed now" Piper said.
"Me too" Phoebe said.
"I've got to go back up there" Ryan said.
"Everyone head to bed" Phoebe said.
Piper and Leo went to their room. Phoebe went to her room. Prue and Andy took Ava and Andrea to the nursery. They changed the girls into their pajamas and put them in their cribs.
"Just think" Andy said. "In nine months we're going to have another one"
"Yeah" Prue said. "It'll be different though, more kids then parents"
"We'll have your sisters and Leo and now Ryan" Andy said putting his arms around Prue.
"Yeah but Piper and Leo will have their own little bundle of trouble. Not to mention it will be their first and you see how spoiled our firsts are"
"But that still leaves Phoebe and you'll have me this time" Andy said.
"I know" Prue said. "We should go to bed"
"Yeah" Andy said.
They went into their room and went to bed.
"Going to sleep?" Leo asked.
"Yeah" Piper said. "So…are you happy…you know…about the baby?"
"Extremely happy" Leo said. "And a little nervous"
"Me too" Piper said.
Leo kissed Piper's cheek.
"Just think though, it's going to be the luckiest kid ever. With a mom as beautiful and wonderful as you"
"Don't forget his wonderful daddy" Piper said.
Leo laughed.
"I think we should sleep" Leo said.
"Me too" Piper said.
They went got into bed.
"Good night sweetie, good night baby" Leo said.
"We say good night" Piper said.
Leo fell asleep
Later on that night Prue was looking out the attic window. She couldn't sleep so she had made herself some tea and brought it up to the attic.
"You couldn't sleep either?" Piper asked coming into the attic.
"Nope" Prue said taking a sip of her tea.
"I was too nervous" Piper said.
"About what?"
"About being a mom"
"Why? You'll be a great mom" Prue said.
"Easy for you to say, you are a mom"
Prue half laughed.
"Believe me that does not help calm your nerves"
"Is something bothering you? You seem kind of distant" Piper said.
"I don't know I've just been thinking. Be honest with me. When you hear of a girl who's been in an abusive relationship do you think she was stupid for not telling anyone?"
"No, I think she was probably to scared or that she was so brave that she did it to protect the people she loves"
"But if she couldn't protect herself from someone human, how could she protect her daughters and unborn baby from something even worse" Prue said.
"Because she's stronger than she thinks" Phoebe said walking into the room. "And she needs to realize that what has happened was never her fault. That everything in the past that has happened, is not her fault"
"I didn't mean to wake you guys up" Prue said.
"I couldn't fall asleep anyway" Phoebe said. "So I take it you guys are nervous?"
"How'd you guess?" Piper said.
"Oh, I don't know, being awake at three in the morning" Phoebe said. "You guys are and will be the best moms ever; after all look how well you guys raised me"
"Now I'm nervous" Prue said laughing.
"Hey" Phoebe said.
"You know Phoebe, you're really good at this psychology stuff" Prue said.
"Yeah you should be a psychologist or something" Piper said.
"I'm glad to hear you say that" Phoebe said. "Because when I graduate in a couple of months, I've been offered a job. I've been asked to be the advice columnist for the Bay Area News"
"That's great!" Piper said.
"I'm so proud of you" Prue said hugging Phoebe. "Okay since you've presented this news I think it would be a good time to present an idea of mine. I didn't want to do this because I new that we wouldn't have enough income coming into the manor. I think I should quit my job. I know I haven't had it for a while but now that Andy's back to working and Phoebe's soon to be working, I really want to stay home with the girls. I could handle the kids and the demons. I find that I'm taking so much time off at work that it's almost like I don't work there"
"Do you really want to do this?" Piper asked.
"Yes, I can even take care of your little one sometimes" Prue said.
"Wow, I never pictured you as a housewife by choice" Phoebe said.
"Not a housewife; just a mom who doesn't work" Prue said.
"Okay, we're fine with it. As long as you want to do it and don't feel like you have to do it" Piper said.
"I want to"
"Okay" Phoebe said. "So is anyone actually tired?"
"No, but I'm really really hungry" Prue said.
"Let me guess; pickles dipped in chocolate?" Phoebe said.
"Bingo" Prue said. "Anyone else want to join me in my late night snack?"
"I will" Piper said.
"Me too" Phoebe said. "Although not the pickles in chocolate"
As they were about to go downstairs Patty appeared.
"You're not another demon are you?" Phoebe asked cautiously.
"No, I'm here to see my beautiful girls" Patty said.
"Mom" Piper said with tears in her eyes.
"Can I have a hug?" Patty said.
Phoebe, Prue, and Piper walked over and hugged her. Andy walked in holding Ava.
"Hi Patty" Andy said. "I couldn't find you Prue so I went to the nursery to see if you were there. When I got there this little girl had somehow gotten out of her crib and was playing with a toy"
"How many times do I have to tell you to stay in your crib, missy" Prue said going over to Andy and taking Ava. "She's more like Phoebe everyday"
"Well Ava should take that as a compliment" Phoebe said.
Everyone laughed.
"Here let me see my beautiful little granddaughter" Patty said.
Prue handed Ava to Patty.
"Was Andrea awake?" Prue asked.
"She will be when she senses Ava is gone" Andy said.
The twins were inseparable. Wherever Ava went Andrea went and vice versa. If one was gone for more than a couple minutes the other one would sense it and go to wherever the other one was.
Just as Andy had said that Andrea appeared with her teddy bear.
"Hey sweetie" Prue said.
Prue noticed Andy yawning.
"Go back to bed" Prue said. "I can put the girls back down"
"You sure?" Andy asked.
"Yes" Prue said. "Good night"
"Good night" Andy said going back to bed.
"Can we carrying on this conversation in the kitchen, I am really hungry" Prue said.
"Of course" Patty said.
Prue scooped Andrea into her arms and they went downstairs to the kitchen. They put the girls in the height chairs. Prue started getting the pickles and chocolate out.
"I've missed you girls so much" Patty said. "I came down here tonight as a gift for the babies"
"They're not born yet" Piper said.
"Yes, but the Elders decided they owed you" Patty said. "Which is why I can stay for all of this week, which would mean I can be here for Piper's wedding? Also whenever Prue and Andy decide on a wedding date, I'll be allowed to come down for theirs"
"This is great!" Piper exclaimed. "But wait, we have to vanquish Belthazor"
"We can do that Tuesday and you can have your wedding Saturday" Phoebe said.
"But things always go wrong when we vanquish demons, what if it's not as easy as we think" Piper said.
"Calm down, Piper" Prue said. "If something goes wrong then we can move your wedding"
"It's not the wedding I'm talking about, we don't know how powerful Belthazor is, what if one of us gets hurt or worse" Piper said.
"I won't let any of you get hurt" Patty said. "And that's final"
"Mom, you don't have to help us vanquish the demon" Prue said.
"I want to" Patty said. "End of discussion"
There was silence for a minute.
"I never thought I say this but that looks kind of good" Piper said looking at Prue eating the pickles in chocolate.
"Geez, look at what I have to deal with" Phoebe said.
"Oh, I've eaten worse. With Prue it was ice cream with mustard. Piper was mashed potatoes and strawberry jelly. And you, Phoebe, were pizza with blueberries" Patty said.
"The sad thing is I think Prue tried all of that when she was pregnant with the twins" Phoebe said.
"I did not" Prue said.
"Yes you did, Piper and were so disgusted" Phoebe said.
"Yes we were but now I understand why she ate that stuff" Piper said.
"I told you. Food has an incredibly different taste when you're pregnant" Prue said.
"Hey who were you the biggest with?" Piper asked while eating a pickle.
"Phoebe" Patty said. "She was 8 pounds 11 ounces when she was born. The doctor said she was the loudest screamer they had ever heard"
"That didn't change" Prue said.
"I take offense" Phoebe said.
Everyone laughed.
"Piper was definitely the quietest. She was rarely cried and from the time she was two you couldn't keep her out of the kitchen" Patty said. "And Prue was stubborn. You were very tiny but that didn't stop you from standing up to people. I remember in kindergarten when I was called because you had kicked a kid for making fun of you"
"I remember that, he kept saying Andy was my boyfriend" Prue said.
"How awkward is it that his now the father of your three children?" Phoebe said.
"Not that awkward, I introduced her to Andy when she was a week old" Patty said. "Piper kept freezing him so much though that I was worried she was going to get caught"
"Well now Piper has another man to freeze" Phoebe said laughing.
"That's gross" Prue said.
"Hey when she first met him…" Phoebe said.
"Okay changing subjects" Piper said.
The Andrea had fallen asleep in her height chair.
"I'm going to go put them to bed" Prue said.
She lifted Ava out of the height chair and sat her on the floor. Then she picked up Andrea. She took Ava's hand and took them to the nursery.
"Okay I'm going to go to bed because I have to go to P3 early to check on some stuff" Piper said. "Mom, do you sleep?"
"Yes I sleep" Patty said. "I can sleep on the couch, you go to bed"
"Mom you shouldn't have to sleep on the couch, take my room" Phoebe said.
"No, you have class tomorrow" Patty said. "You need your sleep. Now both of you go to bed"
Piper put the pickles and chocolate back.
"Good night girls; I love you" Patty said.
"Good night Mom" Piper said.
"Good night" Phoebe said.
They went upstairs.
