Declaimer: I don't own Charmed.
Chapter Twenty-six
"Where's Phoebe?" Prue asked going back into Piper's bedroom.
"Paige orbbed her over to her place." Leo said. "All the emotion got a bit too much for her."
"Oh Yhea," Prue said. "The new empathy power. I forgot. Go grab her for me."
"But it-" He began.
"Now Leo. She needs to face up to the reasonability of her new power. It's the only way she'll ever learn to control it." Prue said.
He didn't move.
"Go! Now!" She yelled. "Quick like a bunny!"
Leo orbbed out.
Prue cringed as she heard her last sentence.
"Oh god. This is not good. I'm turning into Piper. God no, this is not good!"
"Quick like a bunny." Cat snorted. "Mom!"
"No," Prue shook her head violently and lay down on the bed next to Kattie.
Cat lay down next to her mother.
Prue put an arm around each of the girls.
"It's your auntie Piper's saying, not mine. Scary thing is me using it. How do you feel now Kattie?"
"Weak," Kattie said. "Hot and tired."
Leo and Phoebe orbbed back in.
"Hey sis," Prue said to Phoebe. "Feelin' better?"
"A little, well a lot," Phoebe said. "This new power can really suck some times."
"Leo you can go now." Prue said. "We've got every thing under control here."
"Err," Leo said. "I don't think you have."
"Prue." Phoebe said softly.
"Phoebe white lighters are a complete waste of space and you know that." Prue said sternly. "But if you really want to fight about that fact we can, later, when Piper's here to sort us out. Now go call that gypsy doctor you helped save, Ava, Ava Nicolae. Ask her to come take a look at Kattie. Please."
"Alright," Phoebe agreed reluctantly. "But Leo has to stay, and girls, talk to her. Please listen Prue. You need to understand."
"Phoebe I will listen." Prue promised. "Just keep the half breads away from me."
"I hope your not referring to my little brother." Kattie crocked.
"Or my unborn child." Leo said.
Phoebe slipped quietly out of the room.
"Piper's pregnant?" Prue demanded. "Again?"
""Yhea." Cat nodded. "She found out and told us all today."
"How?" Prue spluttered.
"The usual way." Leo said.
"No, no, no," Prue said in disbelief. "How pregnant is she?"
"Probably five or six weeks." He replied.
"Mom," Cat said. "Now don't freak out, but Leo is going to ask Piper to marry him again."
"Aunt Prue," Kattie said. "My mom still loves Leo and the fact that she is pregnant is proof of that."
"Shh," Prue stroked her beloved niece's forehead. "You don't worry. Just rest up." She walked over to Leo. "Is this true Leo?"
"Of course it is Prue," Leo took both her hands. "I would never joke about any thing concerning your sister."
"Do you still love her?" Prue asked.
"More than any thing in the world Prue. You have to believe me. I would do any thing to make her happy. It's the only reason I ever gave her the divorce." He said. "But I really regret it now. I wish she was still my wife. I'd do any thing to get her back."
"Well you're off to a good start," Prue gave him a warm smile. "You've won over her sceptical big sister, the four girls she dotes over most in the world and her two little sisters. Now all you've only got to win over her dead grandmother and get her scum bag ex-fiancée out of the picture. Then you can get the woman of your dreams back."
"Ava's coming around after her shift in about an hour, maybe just over." Phoebe said from the door way.
"How long have you been there?" Prue asked.
"Long enough." Richard's voice replied from Phoebe.
"And he already has." Grams said.
"Where are the half breads?" Prue asked turning to face them coldly.
"Chris is crying," Richard said. "Well it's actually Paige who is crying her eyes out, she is inconsolable may I add and that guy, Tim is semi concuss on the bathroom floor."
"Oh dear," Prue said sarcastically. "What a shame."
"Prue!" Phoebe scolded.
"What!?!" Prue demanded.
