Different
Paths Part 24:
A
few hard weeks, again
--------------------
The next few weeks weren't easy for anyone of them. Prue and Andy tried their best to find furniture and a house at the same time, while Meghan kept bugging them that they needed to buy pink color, to paint her new room. Through all that stress, they still had a crying baby in the room. Which wasn't really doing any good to their nerves and while Andy still had time to recover at work, Prue was with Meghan and Brianna the whole day. Sometimes, when Andy came home, she just let everything fall right where she was and fled from the house. Searching the needed time out in some ridiculous driving around the city.

Phoebe was dealing with it more or less good and when it was less, she just went to her room, and spend there the next few hours, snuggled up to Cole, who tried to calm her down. But what was really surprising: Phoebe found a job! No one really believed in it and now in the probably most critic time of the sisters' history there finally were some good news. She got a job at a local paper, where she was an advice columnist (not as big as in charmed, she might slowly work upwards, though). She was happy with it and other people's problems kept her from thinking about her own

Paige was suffering under the bad mood at the manor and so barely came home. She mostly stayed at Glenn's, avoiding her sisters. At home, she, like Phoebe, distracted herself from what was going on at home. While Phoebe wrote, Paige was painting.

Piper for her part, never again talked one single word to Prue. Not since she announced she'd move out. She didn't cry after that night anymore neither. She just ignored the fact, her big sister was existing. And just kept on going, for the baby, which was growing inside of her.

This was going for almost two months. Piper was nearly through the 4th month of her pregnancy and it hurt Prue so much, she didn't show her stuff about the baby. Piper didn't take her baby shopping. She didn't take the offer of Prue, to give her the old stuff of Ann for Mel. She didn't ask her anymore about how to lay, about what to eat, about what she should do in certain situations. It was a pure psychotic drama in the manor. And, as worst as this already was, naturally the demon attacks, especially on Meg and Ann, increased dramatically.
