Different Paths Part 9:
My big girl

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

Prue after an hour finally started to get around, slowly he opened her eyes and the bright sun, which shone through the window, hit her and she closed her eyes again. Her hand moved a bit and she then felt her flatter stomach. She too felt someone holding her hand. She suddenly remembered what happened before she 'fell asleep' she shot up in bed and looked around
"hey... shshs..."
Andy said and grabbed her shoulders and gently pushed her down
"whe... where's she?"
"Everything's okay... don't worry"
Andy told her and stroke her head
"then why are you trying to calm me down?"
"Cause I have a huge surprise for you..."
"I don't want surprises... I want that goofy grin to disappear from your face and you handing me our healthy daughter..."
Prue said, as calmly as she could "we first have to talk..."
"Andy!"
"No wait... I need to explain to you... why Brianna was lost for a few minutes before... it's important..."
he told her Prue just looked at him and waited
"oookay... umm... you remember when Brianna disappeared, right? Then you fell unconscious and several minutes afterwards someone brought her back"
"someone? Could you speak more clearly... please...?"
"Meghan..."
"Meghan what?"
"Meg brought Ann back..."
"We... we're not talking about the same Meghan, are we?"
Prue asked, as tears again sprung to her eyes
"I missed her... everyone saw my dead daughter except me..."
Prue cried
"heeey... wait..."
Andy said and stroke her tears away
"wait with those..."
he said gently
"Andy... I missed my daughter..."
"No you didn't"
"what? She's still here?"
"She's here..."
"Then... wha... what are we waiting for..."
Prue said, tears again streaming down her face as she wanted to get up again
"waaaait"
"Andy!"
"Wait"
Andy said and pushed her back down on the bed
"she'll be gone if I wait more..."
"No, she won't..."
"Wha... what do you mean... stop playing with me!"
"I'm not playing with you... but... Meghan won't leave anymore... she's alive... a present to Ann's birth from 'them'"
Prue starred at him
"she was the reason I was gone... my special charge..."
Prue didn't react for several minutes. It was all much to comprehend and so she just tried to handle this before answering.
"Where are our kids?"
she finally asked. Andy didn't answer but instead wrapped a blanket more around Prue and then carried her downstairs. Prue looked around the room and then saw the two kids in the room. She ignored Brianna for now and looked directly at Meghan. She looked at Andy and nodded, so he'd let her go. She was slightly shaking and her legs felt like jelly. She made her way over to the little girl who slept on the couch. She crouched down in front of her and just starred at her for several minutes. Her face looked completely like Andy's. Prue reached up but then shrugged away. This was impossible her daughter. Everything around them was silent. It was like it were only Meghan and Prue. Slowly Prue made her way down to her face to stroke a lock away. She was completely afraid, that her hand would fade through her skin. Finally Prue touched her skin and she indeed could feel it. Tears of joy, flew down Prue's face a she placed the lock of her long raven hair behind her daughter's ear, what woke Meghan up. She opened her eyes and both Prue and Meghan looked into deep blue eyes. It was like looking into a mirror.
"Momi!"
Meghan said as a smile grew on her face and she hugged her mother for the very first time... Prue just sat there, frozen and then slowly moved her arms around the little girl. She started to realize this wasn't a dream, but reality. Prue wrapped her arms around her and started to stroke Meghan's back
"my big girl"
she whispered and just sat down herself, pulling Meghan onto her lap, hugging her tight

Piper went up to Andy and handed him Brianna
"you should go downstairs. Have a little time alone."
Andy nodded and cradled the baby in his arms, then went over to his wife and oldest daughter and put a hand on Prue's shoulder, orbing upstairs.
