Conclusion: Eternally CharmedPrue and Piper stood on either side of Paige supporting their pregnant baby sister down the stairs.
"Would you two slow down! I can't move that fast!" Now at full term, Paige stopped midway on stairs to let a contraction pass. "Geez, this hurts!"
"It's suppose too" Prue returned keeping a hand firmly on the youngest Charmed Ones' back, "Now come on, let's go or you'll miss your opportunity for pain medication"
The front door flew open and Phoebe appeared at the bottom of the stairs. "I've got the car ready!" she announced. "We're taking Prue's in case your water breaks. Her seats are leather and it won't stain as bad"
"Ooo! Thanks" Prue glanced at Phoebe gritting her teeth.
Phoebe started up the stairs joining her sisters. "C'mon honey we don't have all day"
"you're telling me" At that moment Paige's water broke causing all four sisters to jump at the sight of the wet clear liquid hitting the stairs"
"We need to hurry" Piper commented just as Amanda orbed in beside Phoebe.
"Aunt Paige do you want me to invis-orb you? I've been practicing and Daddy says I'm getting real good!" It seemed that now things had been set right with destiny that the oldest Angelic' ones powers were growing by leaps and bounds, proving the wiccan motto that the oldest sibling was destine to be the strongest.
"you'd better not" Prue grumbled softly in Paige's ear "this morning she accidentally orbed Andy into some forgotten wasteland.
Paige smiled sweetly at her oldest niece" You know Angel girl; I think I'd rather go in the car. Your Aunties and I promised each other that from now on we'd only use magic in an emergency"
Amanda looked down at the puddle of water standing at her feet. "Isn't this an emergency"
"Not yet" Piper groaned taking on all of Paige's weight as another contraction hit.
"This one's worse than all of the others!"
"Oh, Oh, maybe Amanda's right, Paige you'd better orb"
Paige opened her eyes, pleading with her oldest sister, "Prue come with me"
"You bet sweetie" Prue was extremely pleased that Paige had asked her to be her breathing coach during the delivery of the first Mathews child." Invisi-Orb us Now" Prue commanded Amanda. "But only to the hospital and no place else"
"Yes Mommy" Amanda answered proudly, "I'll concentrate real hard"
Amanda took a hold of Paige's hand and closed her eyes tightly forming invisible orbs around her favorite aunt and mother transporting them to the waiting room of Bay General.
"Nice job" Prue commented knowing that Amanda's power of invisibility had now surpassed Andy's. In addition to the power of invisible orbing, Amanda had also developed the ability of cloaking; the power to turn others invisible as well as herself.
"now let's get Aunt Paige a wheelchair" Still invisible, Amanda walked over to an empty wheel and pushed towards her weary looking Aunt.
"Thank you but I think I'd rather walk" With the help of Prue and Amanda, Paige managed to shuffle her way over to the elevator doors.
"They're all at the top" Amanda frowned.
"Not for long" Glancing up at the top of the elevator, Prue squinted, telekinetically moving the car down to the ground at lightening speed. The doors opened and several disheveled looking bewildered people got off.
"Okay okay, everybody inside" Once inside the seclusion of the elevator car all three witches turned corporeal again.
Prue looked down at Amanda, "Now orb yourself home and take care of your sisters and Melinda until Daddy get there"
"Yes Mommy" Amanda orbed herself out.
Ava met the two witches at labor and delivery and once Paige was settle left the sisters to their privacy.
"It will be a couple more hours" the gypsy doctor told Prue on her way out the door.
"Feeling better?" Prue sank to the side of the bed brushing a fallen hair away from Paige's face causing a droopy eyed smile to form on the youngest Charmed One's lips.
"yeah these drugs are great"
"Hmm…I wouldn't know" Prue said sourly. "Every time I've been labor it seems there's been some sort of demon involved."
"Don't forget Natalie" Though the rule anal whitelighter had been save from death, Paige smiled a bit giddy knowing that none of them would ever be able to forget Natalie and the destruction she'd almost brought to their lives.
"And above all else don't say the "D" word!" Piper and Phoebe walked through the doorway carrying flowers and balloons anxiously awaiting the birth of their niece.
Phoebe bounced onto the bed opposite of Prue "Not to worry Demons wouldn't dare attack us here"
"She cast a protection and a cloaking spell so that everything would be perfect" Piper commented arranging the flowers to her liking.
"Perfect" Paige let out a heavy sigh, letting unshed tears form in her eyes. How could things be perfect without Glenn?
"Sweetie everything will be perfect" Prue kissed her sisters forehead. "you'll see"
Just as Ava predicted a few more hours passed signaling the time for Paige to push.
Paige's forehead was drenched in sweat as she clung tightly to Prue's hand, exhausted from all of the excitement. "Prue I can't do this"
"yes you can" Prue returned looking at Ava who was positioned at the end of the bed.
"No, No..I can't" Paige twisted her head away from her sister.
"She's needs to push now"
"Push Paige"
Paige's head shook stubbornly, "No, I can't….I can't have this baby by-by-myself"
"Well what if you had some help?" Orbs appeared in the corner of the room and Andy materialized grinning modestly. The Tracer stood still for a moment before stepping out of the way to reveal a second angelic figure behind standing behind him.
"You can do this Paige" Dressed in angelic looking white a transparent Glenn smiled at the mother to be.
"Glenn?" Huge tears rushed down Paige's face as Glenn stepped away from Andy becoming physically whole. His attire to changed to a street clothing consisting of a rocker t-shirt and 501 jeans.
"Maybe you'd better be the one to coach her" Prue smiled stepping out of the way joining Andy so that Glenn could take the place she'd been occupying.
"I can't believe your really here" Paige sniffled happy.
Glenn's bright smile was enough to light up the entire room with newfound joy. "Neither can I"
Prue continued to smile leaning into Andy's chest. "How did you do manage that?"
Andy shrugged and then bent to kiss Prue. "When you are married to the Wiccan High Priestess anything is possible"
"This is something I'm going to have pay for later," Prue whispered into his lips.
"Yeah but it's worth it" Andy's arm slid around Prue's waist keeping her close as they watched a moment of tenderness pass between Paige and Glenn.
"Push Paige" Glenn's words were punctuated with kisses, "our angel can't be born until you push"
"Oh OW! OW!" Paige cried, "are you sure she's an angel? I feel like I'm being ripped apart!" The babies' head was starting to crown and still Paige had yet to push.
Prue slipped from Andy's grasp and walked back over to the bed placing her hand on Paige's stomach. Slowly her hand moved down the length of her body telekinetically pulling her niece from Paige's body.
"You're right, she's angel" Ava smiled wrapping the newest Angelic one in a hospital blanket. "What's her name?" Slowly Ava handed the cooing baby to Paige.
"Glenda, Glenda Rose" Paige returned keeping her eyes set on the daughter that she shared with Glenn.
'Glenda as in the good witch?" Phoebe stood beside Piper and Leo beaming. "Should I click my heels and say there's no place like home?"
"Phoebe!" Piper gave Phoebe a sharp poke to the ribs. "Glenda is a beautiful name Paige.
"It sure is" Glenn replied staring deeply into the Guardian's eyes.
"I can't believe she's here" Paige whispered holding the newborn close. As Paige held her baby daughter a golden light encircled them bonding Mother, Father and daughter in magic.
"She's the guardian of the light" Prue said, knowing that little Glenda would have the power to guide innocents towards the light of goodness.
"Hey let me see her", Phoebe cooed reaching for her new neice. Phoebe reached out her hands and felt her fists hit something hard. "Ouch!"
"Evidently she has Paige's force field powers too" Piper giggled.
Hearing a set of jingles, Leo looked heavenward. "I hate to put a damper on this party but it's almost time for Glenn to get back"
"But he just got here" Paige tore her eyes away from Glenda and looked at her oldest sister. "Prue, it's not fair"
"I know" Prue's lips curved into a frown, "but I don't control the laws of the newly dead, death does"
Paige felt the hair on her neck stand up. Death couldn't take "Newly dead? Has death been keeping track? Glenn has been gone for almost a year!"
Glenn slipped a finger under Paige's chin, "Paige it's okay, we have to go by the rules for a little while until we can be together again just like Andy and Prue." The Angelic man looked at Andy causing the tracer to wink.
"Why don't we give them some family time?"
"Oh good idea" Prue agreed following her two sisters and Leo out the door leaving Andy for last.
"I'll be back at sunrise." Death should be busy until that time.
"Thanks" Glenn smiled grateful for the time he had to spend with Paige and his daughter.
Later that evening at the manor, Andy stood at the bedroom looking deeply out at the horizon. He was so far gone with his own thoughts he didn't hear Prue come up behind with a one year old Austin in her arms.
"You feel her don't you?" Prue handed Ausitn to Andy hoping to break his thoughts over Ayleia.
Andy balked at an answer; he didn't want to admit to Prue that his Tracer connection with Ayleia was driving him crazy instead he kissed Austin's hand as she placed her palm against his lips causing her auric light to shine. The tiny tot could feel her father's pull towards her half sister.
"Daddy's not a very good liar, is he Aus?" Prue said saucily. "Well that's okay, because Mommy will have to see what she can do to ease his mind, after you and sisters are in bed of course."
Andy shot his wife a sideways grin. "And what did you have in mind?"
"Oh I don't know, seeing Paige with Glenda has made me kind of wistful" Prue grinned with baby fever written all over her lips.
"You want another baby?" Andy's returned incredulously "Prue we already have four"
"We have three" Prue corrected, "and I have a demonic step daughter who's destine to rule the underworld"
"We have to save her, Prue"
Prue placed a hand on his cheek so that she could study his eyes. "We will, I promise, now let's see about what we can do about putting Miss Austin and her sisters to bed, so that you and I can come up with a game plan for some alone time"
"I like your thinking" Andy grinned leaving the room with Austin, while Prue stood at the window.
Pointing a finger, Prue gently closed the window shade.
Underworld
The See'r sat in rocking, swaying back and forth with Ayleia in her arms. "I am your Mother now, Ayleia" At the side of the rocker lay Dantalian's slain body where Alyeia had made her first kill.
The See'r looked down at the body and grinned. "Now we'll have to see what we can do about your father and Angelic sisters, their goodness is too strong of a presence to remain in your life. Then together we shall rule the world" The See'r continued to rock the princess of darkness humming a tune until the babe nodded off.
