Thanks for the reviews!
Chapter 28
Contractions, Concert and Coffee
Prue is due in 2 weeks and isn't at school anymore
"I can't believe Prue is going to have a baby in 2 weeks," Paige said excitedly
"I know, I can't believe that there will be a baby in this house soon," Phoebe said happily
"It'll be weird though, Prue being a mum," Paige said
"Thanks a lot," Prue said walking into the kitchen and joining them at the table
"You know what I mean," Paige said
Prue smiled at her and helped herself to a bit of toast
"Prue why are you up so early, unlike us you don't have to go to school," Piper asked jealously
"Okay why don't we switch places, I'll go to school and you give birth in 2 weeks," Prue said
"I don't think I'll complain about going to school anymore," Piper said
"So what are you going to do today Prue?" Phoebe asked
"Oh I have big plans today, I'll be watching daytime TV then read my baby book, then I'll spend the afternoon with Grams," Prue said sarcastically
"Sounds like…fun," Phoebe commented
"Girls what are you still doing here, you're going to be late for school, come on I'll give you a lift," she ushered them all up quickly, "See you about lunchtime, Prue,"
"Can hardly wait," Prue smiled falsely but Grams didn't hear her
"Bye baby," Paige, Phoebe and Piper kissed Prue's now very big stomach, "We love you,"
"Oh don't you guys love me too?" Prue asked pretending to be hurt
"Oh we're sorry we love you too," they all kissed and hugged her
"Ew, guys get off," she said pretending to be annoyed
"Ow," Prue suddenly clutched her stomach
"What is it?" Grams asked concerned
"Just felt weird for a minute, I'm fine now, you guys better go, you'll be late," Prue assured
"You sure?" Grams asked
"Yes now go," Prue ushered them all out the room
"Prue sweetie, I'm home," Grams called coming in the front door
"Hi, Grams," Prue shouted over the vacuum cleaner
"Prue what on earth are you doing?" Grams asked
"What does it look like?" Prue asked
"You shouldn't be on your feet," Grams said
"I'm fine, I'm not just going to sit around allday doing nothing," Prue reasoned
Grams sighed, "At least sit down while I make you some lunch,"
Prue suddenly had a strange look on her face
"I don't think that will be necessary," she said quietly
"Why, you have to eat…" Grams looked down to a puddle of water below Prue and her eyes grew wide
"Oh God, okay don't panic, stay calm, I'll call the hospital let them know we're on our way," Grams rambled, "Here Prue sit down a minute,"
Prue did as she was told, shaking nervously
Grams dialled the hospital and then gathered some things for Prue
"Okay, you ready?" Grams asked
"Do I have a choice?" Prue asked a little hysterical
Grams smiled and helped Prue out to the car
"Right Miss Halliwell, everything is fine with you and the baby but it looks like it's going to be a while you're only one centimetre dilated," the doctor smiled
"Thank you doctor," Grams said politely as he left the room
"See I told you everything is fine," Grams assured Prue
"Andy and my sisters should be here," Prue said
"They will be after school, you heard the doctor he said it will be a while so there is no rush okay," Grams said calmly
"Yeah," Prue agreed
"Ow," Prue clutched her stomach again as she was hit with another contraction
She grabbed Grams hand and squeezed it hard, Grams had to grit her teeth to stop herself from screaming
"Breathe," Grams coached
Prue took a deep breath and it passed
"Is it supposed to hurt this much?" Prue asked lying back
"It gets worse, I mean…" Grams stuttered
"Grams don't lie," Prue smiled
Grams smiled too, "I'm so proud of you, your mother would have been too,"
"What, for getting pregnant at 16?" Prue asked
"Well, no but for facing up to your responsibilities," Grams said
"Thanks Grams," Prue leaned over to hug her grandmother
"You're going to be a fantastic mum," Grams was starting to get emotional
Prue beamed
A few hours later Andy burst into the room, breathing fast
Grams was away getting coffee
"Hey, how are you?" Andy asked gaining his breath back
"Fine, but you don't look fine," Prue said
"Oh, well I ran up the stairs," Andy explained
"Well there was no rush, I mean I've been here for hours but I'm still only 2 centimetres dilated," Prue moaned
"Oh right," Andy said
"Where are my sisters?" Prue asked
"They are in the waiting room with Leo, Glen and Cole," Andy said then he added quieter, "Lindsay's here too,"
"What!" Prue shouted angrily then she was hit with another contraction, she screamed and Andy rushed over but immediately regretted it when Prue squeezed his hand until it had lost all it's colour
"You okay?" Andy asked once it had passed
"Yeah, I'm starting to get used to them but they still hurt like hell," Prue said letting Andy's hand go, "Sorry,"
"It's fine, really, I mean you have to go through that pain, I should at least feel some too," Andy said
"Listen Prue I'm sorry about Lindsay but she insisted on coming," Andy tried to explain
"Well you should be, I mean the last person I want to see right now is her, let alone her see me in this state, she'll probably take out a camera and pass the photos through school," Prue ranted
"She wouldn't do that," Andy said but not very convincingly
"Fine, I have more important things to worry about now anyway," Prue sighed
"Why don't I go and get your sisters," Andy offered seeing Lindsay walking towards the room, he knew Prue really wouldn't be thrilled to see her
"Sure," Prue said
Andy walked out the room quickly and stopped Lindsay and walked back to the waiting room with her saying he needed a drink
"How are you?" Piper asked walking in, Phoebe and Paige right behind her
"If I get asked that again," Prue said annoyed, "Sorry, it's just the doctors, Grams, Andy everyone keeps asking that,"
"No problem," Piper said then whispered to the other two, "Just think these mood swings will be over soon,"
They both grinned
It was after 5pm and everyone was starting to get restless, Grams, Piper and Phoebe had gone through a lot of cups of coffee, even Paige who didn't drink it usually had had a fair amount
Leo, Glen and Cole had gone out to the chip shop for something to eat but promised they wouldn't be long
Lindsay by far was the most bored though
Andy had eventually let her into see Prue after he could see no way off putting it off any longer
"Hi, Prue how are you?" Lindsay asked as if she were talking to a two-year-old
Prue gritted her teeth, "All the better for seeing you," she said sarcastically
Lindsay pretended not to hear her, "So how much longer will this take, because remember we have that concert to go to Andy and I have to have at least two hours to get ready,"
"Em, Lindz I don't think I'm going to be able to go the concert now, I mean this is more important," Andy said
"Oh but Andy this has been planned for ages and it won't be the same without you," Lindsay pouted
"Andy just go, the doctors already said its still going to be a while, you might as well go and have fun rather than wait here," Prue said
"No I can't leave you now," Andy argued
"Yeah you can, if anything does happen we can call your mobile," Prue said
"I don't k…" Andy began but was cut off by a delighted Lindsay, "That's settled then, well we better leave now,"
"Call me if anything happens," Andy said whilst Lindsay dragged him out the room
"I will," Prue smiled then as soon as he left she sighed
She really didn't want him to go she needed him right now
Andy and Lindsay got outside the hospital
"Can I use your phone to call Miranda?" Lindsay asked
"Sure, right stay here while I go and get the car," Andy said walking off
He almost instead of getting the car rushed back inside the hospital to Prue
He really really wasn't in the mood for a concert, he really just wanted to go back up to Prue but she had made it perfectly clear by telling him to go that she didn't need him
Lindsay had no intention of calling Miranda
Andy came back round in the car and Lindsay got in quickly
"So what did she say?" Andy asked
"Huh? Oh right, yeah she said she would meet us there," Lindsay said, "Where will I put your phone?"
"Just slip it in my jacket pocket," Andy said
Lindsay reached for his jacket, which was in the back of the car, but before she put the phone in, she switched it off and grinned
Evil Lindsay!
