Different Paths Part 8:
We're parents

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

"Meghan!?!"
The little girl would recognize that voice everywhere. She looked up and saw Andy. Meghan's face lit a bit and she let the baby fall just to run to her father
"dadi!"
she yelled burring herself in Andy's arms.

In the meantime, the baby never hit the floor as once again the purple light appeared and the baby reappeared in Piper's arms. She started to scream right away, from Meghan's scream. Piper smiled at the baby and started to cradle her in her arms.
"Shshshsh, it's okay"
Piper told the little girl gently, who calmed down a bit, from knowing the voice of the womb.

Andy smiled slightly, as he felt Meghan after months in his arms again. He held her tightly for a few minutes. She had been his special charge and ever since he gave up on her and promised Prue to not go anywhere anymore, he missed Meghan. After all Meghan and him were together every single second of the past year. And coming back to earth, was like loosing her a second time. Finally he picked her up, stood up and crawled his daughter's back
"shshs, it's okay baby"
he whispered gently into her ear.

Paige and Phoebe had watched the past few minutes on how Andy cared for the girl, they supposed was a demon, but now had to realize, she wasn't. Paige leaned over to Phoebe and whispered
"isn't Meghan the name of the baby, Prue lost?"
she asked in a whisper. Phoebe just nodded, but starred at the little girl and like Piper did already before, she found the similarities to their big sister. Her face was looking completely like Andy's except those blue eyes and the long, black, curled hair.

Andy finally pulled away a bit from Meghan and looked at her face and then reached with one hand up to her tears streamed face
"hey... shshs"
he said gently and pushed her tears away
"Meghan... honey... I need you to explain me something. Okay?"
Meghan nodded and tried to go back to crying into Andy's chest but Andy kept her from it
"what are you doing here, sweetie?"
"Te... te eldews said... me take te baby and bwin her to you and momi. And ten tey sai, me no have to go bak and tat I could live wif you and momi and wif mi sistew now."
Meghan told him. Andy's smile grew bigger and he kissed her forehead
"I love you"
he said as Meghan's arms again wrapped around her father's neck. Andy kissed her head a few more times before pulling her a bit away again.
"You know everybody?"
Andy asked. Meghan nodded slightly
"tat's gwanma! But gwanma eawt... not gwanma heaven"
"uh hum"
Andy said smiling as he and Meghan looked over at his mother. Then Meghan looked at Piper.
"Tat aunti Piper"
she said and then turned around and looked at Phoebe and Paige
"and tat aunti Phoebe and aunti Paige"
she explained her dad. Finally she looked at Leo as well
"Uncle Leo!!"
she cheered. Leo smiled back
"hey pumpkin"
he said smiling and ruffled the little girls hair a bit. Finally Meghan looked more around the room and finally found the small figure of her mom under the covers on the bed
"and tat's momi"
Andy smiled a little and nodded
"wat's wong with momi?"
Meghan asked
"she's just really, really tired..."
Andy explained
"now... how about you go with grandma, Uncle Leo and your aunts downstairs?"
"I wana stai wif you"
Meghan told him and again wrapped his arms around his neck
"Meghan... honey... I gotta stay here and wait for mommy to wake up again... and then I have to explain everything to her... so c'mon... you just tell grandma what stories grandma heaven told you, huh?"
Meghan shook her head and held tighter onto Andy. Leo went up to Andy and Meghan
"heeey... c'mon... we always had fun... and Auntie Piper' and the others are fun too... remember what I told you about Auntie Piper?"
Meghan nodded
"tat she like kids weali much"
Meghan answered. Leo smiled and nodded
"see... now c'mon"
Meghan again shook her head
"why won't you go, princess?"
"Cause aunti Phoebe and aunti Paige where meani... tei think me demon"
Andy smiled a little
"they just didn't know what to think, princess"
"aunti pipew new"
she told her dad
"then you just stay with grandma, aunt piper and uncle Leo... and when you think you can forgive aunt Phoebe and Paige... then you play with them, too, okay?"
"Do me weally hav to go?"
she asked looking at Andy, who nodded a bit.
"Mommy and I will be downstairs soon, as well. I promise."
Meghan nodded and again the purple light appeared and she reappeared in Julia's arms
"gwanma heaven told I about you"
"really? What did she say?"
Julia asked smiling. As everyone started to leave the room. Leo wrapped his arm around Piper and led her and the newborn downstairs as well. Andy again sat down on the bed and grabbed Prue's hand
"you gotta wake, honey... we're parents... parents of two wonderful little girls."
He told her and kissed her hand, then grabbed for a cloth and cleaned her face.

Small explanations:

The purple light really was and is a power of the baby (you'll get the name in one of the next chapters ;)) and Meghan. It's a mix between orbing and astral projection. It's purple because astral projection is red and orbing blue. Red and blue is purple. And it's quite a good colour for little girls ;)
Meghan has orbing cause she once was dead as well. And that is a little gift of the elders. Astral projection was in my opinion, always in Prue's blood. So Meghan inherited it from her mother.
The other powers of them are, naturally telekinesis and telempathic. What's again a mix between Andy's sensing power and Prue's telekinesis. Telempathy is the ability to move feelings, thoughts, pictures etc from one mind to another. Las but not least Prue's kids will have the control of elements. What means that Meghan has the ability of pyrokinesis, what's shooting fire from her hands. The baby has the ability of aquakinesis, what is pretty much the same as Meghan's power just with water.

And last but not least: why is Meghan 3 and not 9? Why did I write one year instead of 3 years, in which Andy was dead?? Well, easy answer! We all know time is passing faster 'up there' and so 3 years on earth are equal with one year 'up there'

Last but not least: Meghan is three and so she still has some problems with speaking... so don't worry about 'me' and 'I' mistakes oooor the 'th' whether being 't' or 'f'. Also the things like 'why' or 'ie' she can't really pronounce yet, so it's just 'i' for now. Oh and... Forgot... the 'r' is 'w'
