Different Paths Part 2:
Disappointments

--------------------

A few weeks later (29th week of pregnancy):
Prue was waiting in the swimming hall for Andy. He never had been late. Well lately he was. Often. She didn't understand why, because she always thought she and their daughter would be more important to him than his freaking job. But lately it seemed the other way round. Or was there something else? He not even was right on time for the visits in the several birth houses and hospitals. But he never had been late for the workout. She looked at her watch. It was already 45 minutes, since they were supposed to meet. Prue sighted. She was tired and wouldn't do anything without him tonight. She needed a few minutes to get up, but managed to do so anyway. She trotted back to the changing cabinet, when Piper just ran out of it
"Prue!"
she said smiling...
"let's go... do your exercises"
"what?"
Prue asked confused
"Piper... what are you doing here? Where's Andy?"
"He told Leo he couldn't make it... and so I decided to take his place"
Prue sighted and went past Piper back into the changing rooms. Piper looked after her and then followed Prue
"oh c'mon sweetie... we'll have fun as well"
Prue shook her head slightly
"I'm tired"
she whispered. Piper sighted
"okay... then let's go home... I'll drive ya... Leo can pick your car later"
Prue just nodded and then disappeared in one of the rooms with her things. Piper looked after her. Prue agreed to be driven... that meant it was bad... Piper got changed again and waited outside for Prue, who went past her without a word. She went straight for Piper's car and waited there for piper to unlock it. Piper went up to her car as well, unlocked it and picked Prue's bag from her. She put hers and Prue's into the trunk and then got into the driver's side. Prue sat there and just looked out of the window...
"Prue... what... what is it?"
Prue shook her head
"nothing"
she said in a whisper
"I know you my whole life... I know when there's something wrong with you..."
"I... I slowly... think... he betrays me... he's never there... and... How could love such a fat and huge whale... the last few weeks... everything was more important than me and the baby... I... what if it's true?"
Prue asked... as tears spilled from her eyes. Piper looked down. She could imagine how Prue felt. She had felt this way a million times before. But on the other hand. She was not pregnant.
"Prue... I'm sure..."
"I... don't want to talk right now, Piper... please... let's just go home, okay?"
Prue kind of begged. Piper looked at Prue and how she started to stare out of the window into the dark night. Tears still streaming down her face. Piper looked down again and sighted. She wanted to help her big sister, but the only one to help her now was Andy. Piper finally started the car and drove back to the manor. As she stopped the car again, Prue got out of the car and went for the trunk to get her back
"it's okay... I'm gonna do take it"
Piper told her.
"Thanks"
Prue answered and went inside the manor and straight up to her room. She sat down on the edge of the bed and just starred ahead. Her hand was placed on her stomach and she could feel the soft kicks of her daughter inside of her. She sighted and got up. She opened the door to the baby room. And looked inside. It was all set for the birth of her daughter. She looked around and sighted again. "Maybe we will have to handle life without daddy, baby girl" she said, as fresh tears ran down her face. She went over to the rocking chair and let herself fall down into it. She grabbed for the music box, which was hidden inside of a little towelling star. She pulled the string and held it to her stomach, knowing it'd calm the baby. Prue just starred ahead till she, too fell asleep.

3 hours later Andy entered their bedroom. Piper had told him, she was in their bedroom. He had a bunch of red roses along. He sighted as he didn't see her anyway in the room and then saw the low light coming from the baby room. He went towards it... ready to apologise... but he found Prue asleep in the rocking chair. Her cheeks still slightly wet from crying before. He bit his lip. And then laid the roses down on the changing table, then carefully, not to wake her went over to the rocking chair. He picked her gently up and carried her to the bedroom. He placed her on the bed and covered her up, then kissed her forehead and brushed the leftovers of her tears away. Andy just watched her several more minutes
"I'm sorry"
he whispered before orbing out again.
