Different
Paths Part 25:
Gooood
news
--------------------
Prue
started to doubt their decision, till Andy came home one evening. He
was smiling from ear to ear, when he went up to Prue, in their room,
as she was feeding Ann once again.
"hey, beauty"
He kissed
her gently and then grinned at her
"where's Mags?"
"napping."
Andy kept grinning at her
"what's that
goofy grin supposed to mean?"
she asked confused
"gooood
news"
"I can see that"
"I found a house..."
Prue
looked down
"I... honey..."
"wait... first let me
finish, okay?"
Prue looked for a second back up and then down
again, but nodded slightly
"it's... you know the manor's
backyard, right?"
"Andy... I lived here almost my whole
life..."
Andy ignored her and continued
"remember when we
crawled as kids into that old wife's garden which is like... on the
back of the manor?"
"misses Larsanda's? yeah... so?"
"she died a few months ago and now her family decided to sell
it... we could tear down the fence... and have one huge backyard,
which is connected to the manor's... we always can go through the
backyard and the backdoor from our house to the manor and the other
way round..."
Andy said kind of excited.
"This isn't
funny, Andy"
"I know it's not. But I'm not fooling you.
I'm serious, honey"
Andy told her. Prue starred at him a few
more minutes till a huge smile appeared on her face
"Phoebe!"
she yelled carefully pulling Ann away, and handing her fats to
Andy, running out of the room
"Paige!"
she yelled
"Piper! I have news! Great news!"
she yelled excited
now as well.
"What?"
Phoebe asked storming out of her
room, Paige following a few minuets afterwards...
"we're
having a house... misses Larsanda's house!"
"you mean
like... next street... across manor house?"
Phoebe asked. Prue
nodded
"Andy said we'd get it... and...We could have a huge
back yard and..."
their faces lit and they all cheered and
hugged. Piper came out of her room, woken by the screams. The three
sisters froze immediately
"Phoebe, Paige, could you two please
be a bit more quite?"
she asked in a nerved voice, before
going back to her room. Prue swallowed and looked to the floor...
"I... umm... need to... finish feeding Ann..."
she said
lowly before retreating to her room as well. Andy just pulled her
into his arms, holding her tight. The psychotic terror Piper was
making, was hurting Prue more than anything.
"Momi?"
Meghan
asked from the door, rubbing her eyes. Prue pulled away from Andy and
went to the kids room
"I'm sorry baby, did we wake you?"
Prue asked, like pushing a button and switch from Prue to mommy.
Meghan nodded, still pretty sleepy. Prue kissed her forehead gently
and went with her back to the room and sat with Meghan in her lap
down on the rocking chair. She started crawling her back and kissing
her head, trying to get her daughter back to sleep
