A/N: Princess Pinky: I'm sorry you don't like Artemus but to make up for it, I promise to give you something you'll really like with Paige and Glenn.. And Ayleia well she may just be more powerful than I originally expected. The-Cheese-Fairy: Oh No Not the Flying Monkey's! LOL. Prince Halliwell: Like Prue, Amanda will physically be the strongest of her sisters. Austin although she seems to have more powers and has the partially immortal thing will probably always be the passive one and Ally, well I don't know about her yet. Melinda's powers will grow accordingly. She like the other children I've created can't use everything at once. (Ally can't astral project by herself, and Amanda until this story couldn't orb and fade at the same time). But you will see Melinda use her powers at some point. The subplot with her will begin soon. Pyrena: I'm glad you like Artemus, cause he'll be around for at least a little while. PrueTrudeau: I have a family moment for P/A and their girls coming up real soon! Jade-eye Halliwell: Good to hear from you again! Don't worry about schoolwork, I understand. Thanks for taking the time to review.

Eternally Charmed: Three Prues and a Baby

Leo and Artemus were in the attic trying to construct a way to reverse the damage that Paige had done to the orphan plane when Leo suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked upward.

"What is it?" Artemus asked noting the look of worry on the Elder white lighters face.

Leo listened for a moment and frowned. "It's Paige and Phoebe they're in trouble" Artemus followed Leo down the stairs into the hallway where the Rock Demon had attacked Phoebe and Paige. Nothing was left except the heap of rocks the demon had left behind with the witches buried underneath.

Paige? Phoebe? The sight of a pale white ankle sticking out from underneath the rubble caused Leo's stomach to twist. "They're in the rocks" Frantically he and Artemus began to dig until they uncovered both Phoebe and Paige. Both were covered in a light dust and bleeding from where the jagged pebbles had pierced their skin.

"Are they?" Artemus held his breath at the sight of Paige's pale face. The blood trickling down her ivory skin made her look deathly white.

"They're hurt pretty bad" Leo held out his hands to heal them and the rock demon reappeared, shooting large jagged shards at the two men one of which that hit Artemus in the shoulder.

"Artie?"

"Just heal them" Artemus groaned pulled the shard feel of his flesh. "I'll take care of the demon!" Quickly he shape shifted to match the form of the rock demon.

"Nice Parlor trick witch" The rock demon was seemingly unimpressed as a machine gun like spray of large pebbles started to fly from his fingertips.

Using his massive power, Artemus made himself concrete solid, deflecting the pebbles.

"Very nice" the rock demon laughed, "But's it's too bad you don't have any destructive powers"

"But I do"

The rock demon whirled surprise to see Piper standing behind him along with Ally and Melinda

"Bow him up, Mommy" Melinda looked on admirably as he mother waved her hands blowing the demons to bits. Piper was about to take on Artemus too when Leo's voice stopped.

"Don't he's one of us"

Slowly Artemus shape shifted back into his human form and turned to help Leo with Phoebe and Paige. The two witches moaned forcing the pebbles from their bodies as they sit up.

"Is the big bad rock monster gone?" Phoebe looked about at the mess that the creature created.

"He's gone Leo answered holding his hand over the cut on Paige's scalp. "Piper and Artemus took care of him"

Artemus? Paige looked miffed. "What did he do?"

"He shape shifted into the rock demon and then used his massing powers to shield you"

Paige shook her head as Artemus offered her a hand up. Begrudgingly she slapped it away not even the slightest bit thankful nor concerned over the fact that the young man was bleeding "I can't stand shape shifters!"

Artemus looked perplexed as Paige dusted herself off and stalked down the hall. "What did I do?"

"Paige's boyfriend was killed by a demon with the power to shape shift," Leo explained healing Artemus' wound before tending to Piper's shrill call.

"Somebody clean up this mess!" Piper then smiled sweetly looking down at Ally and ruffling the little girl's hair, "how about we go bake you that cake so we can take some to Baby Austin and Mommy?"

"Will it turn into a laydee?"

"Nope, water and ice maybe" Piper quipped grinning at her own daughter, "but no ladies".

"Can we eat it?"

"You betcha" Piper grinned taking the little girls by the hand, "but not before dinner"

Twenty-four hours later, Prue was sitting in the hospital nursery, feeding Austin a bottle when two pairs of blue lights appeared with Phoebe and Paige bearing an armful of gifts. "These are all for you our beloved baby Austin!" Phoebe squealed in her childish voice.

Prue looked about thankful that the rest of the nursery was empty with the exception of the other babies and squealed playfully, smiling down at her daughter. "Oh, look at all the presents your Aunties brought for you!"

"Actually these are all from Phoebe" Paige quipped handing Prue a small gift bag. "This is from Piper and me"

"Phoebe, you shouldn't have" Prue chided looking at the mound of gifts that her child like sister had set on the floor.

"What?" Phoebe just smiled as she bent down getting right into Austin's tiny face "Nothing is too good for Phoebe's little niece Aussie Wassie!" Phoebe's fingers attempted to tickle the child through the blanket.

"Aussie Wassie?" Prue lifted an eyebrow watching Paige shrug.

"You know how's been ever since you find out Austin powers were mind based. She's dubbed this child as her own"

"I have not" Phoebe giggled pulling a folding chair and abruptly taking Austin from Prue's arms. "I'm so excited we finally have a child who will grow to understand the importance of having passive powers. Austin will be someone I can guide and mentor" Not that Phoebe would ever admit it to herself but Austin Prudence would one day grow to be the favorite of all her nieces. Forbidden by the Elder's to have a child of her own due to Cole's potentially demonic seed Phoebe was destine to mother only her nieces.

"It's okay Pheebs you can baby-sit anytime" Prue continued to smile brightly at her sister, admiring the way she was holding Austin, grinning down at her with love.

Phoebe cocked her head as she pulled the empty bottle from Austin's mouth and handed it to Prue so she could burp the baby. "Speaking of babysitting, have you Andy figured out what you're going to do when the Elder's and the Matriarchs call you back?"

"No" Prue sighed forlornly. The thought that she would soon have to leave her newest baby daughter behind to resume her role as High Priestess to the realm made her heart bleed. Now that the Matriarchs and the Elder's had enforced the no healing rule for human type injury and ailments, Austin would have to stay behind until she reached a healthy weight of at least five pounds.

"We'll think of something" Paige's hand fell into Prue's hair stroking it gently. "If nothing else, Phoebe, Piper, Andy and I can take the round the clock shifts so that Austin is never alone"

"Thanks" Paige's words brought a sisterly smile to Prue's face in the with the chirp of Phoebe's cell phone.

"Oh that's me!" Phoebe handed Austin back t o Prue and started digging her cell out from her prada style bag catching it on the third ring "Ask Aunt Phoebe"

"Ask Aunt Phoebe?" Prue questioned as Phoebe rose to her feet and walked out of the nursery to take the call while Paige sank into the folding chair that she'd vacated.

"She's trying to pitch the idea of a motherly advice column to Elise"

"Could work" Prue shrugged studying the youngest Halliwell seriously. "So how was Glenn's funeral?" Together Paige and Darryl had concocted a story of how Glenn had saved both Paige and Prue from an unknown assailant, so that the whole world would know that the young man had died a hero. An illusion of Glenn's body had been placed into his grave to make up for the demonic ash that turned Paige's reality of love into a nightmare.

Paige took a moment to blink tears from her eyes before answering. "It was very nice. Glenn's family was very appreciative of the flowers that you and Andy sent"

"It was the least we could do" Prue's voice remained somber. "Listen Paige, if anyone knows what you are going through it's me. When I lost Andy to Tempus and Rodriguez, I thought my whole life was over and that I would never find love again"

"But you got Andy back" Paige choked trying to hide her tears.

Prue Placed Austin over her shoulder and frowned. "That was just a fluke, if Mom and Phoebe hadn't cast that spell"

Paige swiped at her eyes trying to smile through her tears, "Yeah well the spell didn't work for me, cause I already tried it"

"Paige" Prue felt her bottom lip grow stiff as Paige continued.

"And the sad t hing is, I never told Glenn how I really felt. For years, I've been meaning too and now it's too late"

Prue nodded she knew exactly how that felt too. She'd muttered the words I love you to Andy just hours before he died hoping for a new start. And now everyday she thanked the heaven's that she and Andy had been given a second chance.

"Listen to me" Prue hissed at the pull of her abdominal stitches as she leaned over to offer Paige comfort. "Everything happens for a reason. When Andy died saving me it was so that he could come into his own powers. The Elder's had a plan for him and maybe they have a plan for Glenn too"

"Maybe" Paige nodded silently.

Phoebe re-entered the room, bearing a grin that went from ear to ear. "Prue, I have the answer to all of your problems. While I was talking on the phone to Elise, I had idea"

"What?" Prue couldn't help but laugh at Phoebe's contagious attitude"

Phoebe shoved her cell phone back into her purse, "we make it so you can be in two places at once"

"How are you going to do that?" Paige asked crinkling her nose.

"Like this" Phoebe opened her hand to reveal a scrap of paper that she used to scrawl a spell down while she'd been on the phone" Take my sisters motherly worries blessed be, multiply her strength by three."

"Phoebe what are you doing?" Adamantly Prue started to shake her head in protest. Her green eyes widened and she started to sputter. She could literally feel herself being pulled into her two different directions as she began to split into two, creating three Prue's three babies, and three rocking chairs. Prue and Austin had been split into three.

"Oh…Oh…No" Prue continued to shake her head as she looked at her two other halves. "Phoebe, fix this…Fix this NOW!"

"I can't not until the others you's aren't needed" Phoebe grinned taking in delight that she now had three versions of Baby Austin to fawn and coo over.

Okay, will somebody tell me what just happened here? Because this looks like a backfire if I ever saw one." Paige looked unsure as she gazed at the cloned versions of her oldest half sister.

"It's not" Phoebe snorted playfully, beginning to point. "The one in the middle is the real Prue, who will ascend to Elder land when she needed. And the one on the right is Motherly Prue who will stay here and take care of Austin."

"But there are three Austin's" Paige nodded slowly.

"Yeah that wasn't suppose to happen" Phoebe deadpanned, "I guess there are alternative versions to her too"

"EXCUSE ME!" The Prue one the left shouted, starting the baby in her arms. "Will somebody take this thing!" The third Prue held the now crying child at arms length.

"Hey!" Real Prue snapped, "that's our daughter!"

"And who would that be?" Paige whispered watching Phoebe scratch her head.

"That would be the sultry cut throat business, I never wanted children, Prue"

"Oh" Paige returned curling her lip, "then she hates kids"

Phoebe nodded silently.

"We're in big trouble"
