Dates and Discussions
The sisters had all arrived home from school and were up in Prue's room as it was the biggest
"So Prue I heard about your little speech in class today," Paige said
"You did, who from?" Prue asked
"Everybody probably heard about it, you are like the most popular girl in school," Paige answered as if it was obvious
"Shut up," Prue said modestly
"What you are," Paige said
"Anyway Prue I think it was very brave of you to do that," Piper said
"Thanks," Prue said "I'm glad I did it too, at least now I don't have to worry about people finding out and nobody said anything nasty they were all pretty nice,"
"Except the person that put out the posters, any idea who did it?" Phoebe asked
"Oh I know who did it alright but I can't proof it," Prue said
"Who?" Paige asked
"Lindsay Taylor," Prue said the name with great disgust
"As in Missy Taylor's older sister," Piper said
"As in Jessica Taylor's older sister," Paige said
"Yeah, the Taylor sisters I swear they 're out to get us Halliwell sisters," Prue said
"It's obvious we'll win in the end," Paige said
"How do you think that?" Piper asked
"Well good always beats evil," Paige answered simply
They all looked at her strangely and started laughing
At 6.00 the doorbell rang
"It's for me," Piper said running down the stairs
"No, it'll be for me," Prue said following close behind Piper
"You're both wrong, it's for Paige," Grams said beating both of them to the door
"Glen, hi," Paige pushed past Piper and Prue to the door
"Hi," he said
There was an awkward silence as Piper, Prue and Grams watched them
Paige glared at them "Don't you have anywhere else to be?"
"Oh right, yes," Grams smiled at them both before leaving
Piper and Prue winked at her and went back upstairs giggling
Paige rolled her eyes "Ignore them, I do,"
Glen smiled
"So I thought I was coming to yours," Paige said
"Oh yeah well my sister has her friends over and they're driving me nuts so I thought I'd come over and see you instead," Glen explained
"Okay then, well come in," Paige stepped aside and let Glen in
Paige had barely closed the door when it rang again
It was Leo this time
"Hi Piper," Leo said as she answered the door
"Hi," she smiled at him
"Have you eaten yet?" he asked
"No, why?" Piper asked
"Good because I'm taking you out," Leo said
"What?" Piper asked surprised
"Grab your coat," Leo told her
"Okay but where are we going?" Piper grabbed her coat off the rack
Leo took her hand and lead her out the door "You'll see," he smiled
Paige and Glen had spent the night reminiscing about old times
"We really did have a lot of fun back then," Glen said
"We did," Paige agreed
"Too bad we wasted a lot of time of having fun when we stopped speaking to each other," Glen sighed
"Well we can make up for that time now," Paige said
Glen suddenly turned quite serious "Paige, why did you change so much, I mean what happened to you?"
Paige thought a minute before she answered
"You were my best friend and after we fell out I didn't really have anybody but Becca and all them let me hang around with them….
"The school troublemakers," Glen interrupted
"Yeah and then I turned into the biggest troublemaker," Paige sighed
"Why?" Glen asked
"Well I started out doing just because they were and if I didn't then I couldn't hang around with them anymore but then…" she stopped
"Then what?" Glen asked carefully
"It seemed like everything in my life was going bad so why shouldn't I be bad too," Paige said
"I should never have left you, I should have been there for you," Glen said annoyed at himself
"Glen it's not your fault, all that matters is you're here now," Paige said hugging him
"Yeah and those days are all behind you, I mean you have me and your sisters back in your life, you don't need that lot," Glen said hugging her back
She pulled away from him "Wait I can't just blow them off,"
"Yes you can, they are not really your friends, they don't care about you," Glen said
"But…
"No buts Paige you keep hanging around with them and you'll keep getting into trouble and you don't want that do you?" Glen asked
"Of course not," Paige said quickly "Okay you're right I'll tell them on Monday I won't be hanging around with them anymore, but I'll warn you now they will not take it well,"
"Andy, hi" Prue answered the door
"Hi," Andy smiled
"Oh Andy, nice to see you," Grams greeted friendly coming to the door
"Hi Miss Halliwell," Andy greeted
"Oh please dear how many time do I have to tell you call me Penny, especially now since you're practically part of the family," Grams said
"Huh?" Andy said confused
"She knows about the baby," Prue explained
"Oh, right, well miss… I mean Penny I promise to take care of both….
"I know you will Andy, you're a good kid," Grams smiled at him before walking away
Andy was a little taken aback "What just happened here?"
"She took the news pretty well, sorry I didn't tell you that I told her but I completely forgot what with the day at school we had," Prue explained
"It's okay, I'm just glad she took it okay," Andy said
"Me too, oh and I had a doctor's appointment, the baby is fine and I'm four months along," Prue said happily
"That's great news," Andy kissed her
"Just think though in five months we're going to have a baby," Prue said as if it had just sunk in
"It's kind of scary," Andy said
"Kind of, it's terrifying," Prue said
"What are we going to do, we can't look after a baby and go to school still," Andy said
"I never thought about that, I've too bust thinking about being pregnant to even think about what to do when the baby comes," Prue said
"Well I'll have to leave school and get a job to support us," Andy said
"No Andy I can't let you do that, your dream is to go to SFD University and become an inspector, I can't take that away from you, I'll drop out of school," Prue said
"What about your dream to become a professional photographer," Andy said
"Well once the baby is older I can go to college and learn then," Prue said
"Okay then, what about when I'm at University, what are you going to do, I'll be away all the time?" Andy asked
"Well I'll look after the baby and we can visit you, SFD isn't that far away," Prue said
"You really have this all worked out, don't you," Andy said
"No but we still have five months to discuss it but one thing I do know for sure is that what ever happens it will all work out," Prue said confidently placing her hand on her stomach, Andy put his hand on top of hers
Phoebe walked into her bedroom and was surprised at who she found sitting on her bed
"Cole,"
Cole turned round to face her "Oh hi Phoebe, your Grams let me in,"
"Oh right then," Phoebe said
"Hope you don't mind me coming round," Cole said
"No not at all, actually I wanted to ask you what you thought of your first day at school," Phoebe smiled at him
"Well I actually enjoyed myself and I didn't miss the drugs or anything," Cole said proudly
"That's is brilliant," Phoebe said happily
"What about you," Cole asked
"I haven't craved anything at all," Phoebe said
"That's great too," Cole said
"Well for you and me anyway," Phoebe said
"What do you mean?" Cole asked
"Well what about Lee, TJ, Dean and Ally they are still out there smoking and drinking," Phoebe sighed
"Yeah I suppose I mean we can help each other but who is going to help them," Cole said sadly
Phoebe was silent for a moment "Me"
"What?" Cole asked
"I'm going to help them, deep down I know they are good guys they have just got a little side-tracked to what's really important but if I can make them see that there is something better out there then it might encourage them to stop," Phoebe explained
"That's really sweet of you and I think you will help them a lot I mean you're the reason I stopped," Cole said
"Thanks Cole," Phoebe said and they hugged
"Can I open my eyes now?" Piper asked as Leo lead her along
"Okay," Leo said as he let go off her
She opened her eyes and in front of her was a little table with a table cloth and a candle in the middle
"Leo it's beautiful but where are we?" she asked looking around her
Leo lead her to the edge and in front of them was a great view of the city "We are on top of an old building that doesn't get used anymore,"
"So you took the table and everything up here?" Piper asked
"Yeah, nobody else knows about this place, they think it's blocked," Leo explained
"You're so sweet," Piper smiled kissing him
"That's not all," Leo lifted the lid of the tray on the table to reveal two burgers and a portion of chips in Macdonalds wrapping
Leogrinned "I may be sweet but I'm not a very good cook,"
Piper giggled and sat down to eat
After all the food was gone Leo turned to Piper "You know the other night when I told you that…. I love you and you said it back, did you mean it?" Leo asked nervously
Piper looked at him seriously "Of course I meant it, you are so special and you make me feel special too,"
"You are special," Leo said and he kissed her across the table
