Growing Part 5:
Sex and its consequences

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

Later that day:
"Mom?"
"yes?"
"did you get me a new tube of make up?"
"yes... I placed it upstairs in your basket."
Each of the girls had a basket which stood in the hall of the second floor. Everything Prue bought or received for them would land in these baskets: sweets, notes, letters, phone calls, laundry. The girls had to tidy them on their own. Every evening.
"That's the point... there was nothing in my basket... that's why I'm asking..."
"I bought it, Mags"
"I'll kill her"
"waaait... kill who?"
"who? Mom... who in this house would steal my make up?"
Prue sighted
"go to your room and finish your homework..."
"I did finish them... and you promised I could go for some ice cream with Robbie when I finished them in time... and that for I need my make up..."
"get ready... what you can do... I'll talk to Anna... and she'll come in a second upstairs to apologise..."
"can't I just..."
"Meghan... please... I can't take this sister fight right about now..."
"why? What's wrong?"
"I just... have a feeling... that something isn't right with Lily..."
"she looked pale today..."
"I know... but she said she was fine... and she doesn't feel warm... so I'll have to believe her..."
"want me to talk to her?"
"no... But please... don't start fights now, okay?"
"yeah okay... but... you don't have to hurry with the make up... I'm... gonna call Robbie and move the date to some when else."
Prue smiled
"what?"
Mags asked
"don't ever call... going out for some ice cream... a date in front of your father... or you'll never get to get some ice cream again"
"can't you do something about that one?"
"he's a father... it'll never go away..."
"can you talk to him... cause this thing with Robbie is really going serious..."
"wait... you're not talking about... getting serious in the way of sex, right?"
"mom..."
"yes or no?"
"maybe..."
"alright... you'll not see Robbie in the evenings anymore until we two did see the doc for birth control pill."
"tell me, you're kidding"
"Mags... listen to me... okay? I was pregnant as a teenager as well... it's not that easy... and I'm not only babbling onto you... cause I'm one of those mom's who love to ruin their daughters' life with saying such things, but I know what I'm talking about."
"I'm not you, mom..."
"I know you're not... but that's doesn't mean you can't get pregnant now..."
"okay... I promise..."
"now... dad called and said he'd be late. So why don't you go upstairs, get Lil and you two pick some pizza for dinner. I'll talk to Anna. Send Chris home and maybe chat with your aunts for a while."
"yeah... just gonna..."
"call Robbie first"
Mags smiled and ran upstairs. Prue sighted and walked out to the backyard. She saw Anna and Chris playing in one corner. Both pairs of twins in another corner. She decided to let Anna some more time to give the make up back... and instead went to the manor.
"Anyone home?"
she yelled
"we're in the living"
Piper called
"heey... three of my favourite nephews..."
she said smiling. Paige rolled her eyes
"yeah take him..."
Paige said nerved, passing Bradley to Prue.
"Paige..."
"what? I can't different... you guys know I love kids... I love your guys' kids... and I love them... as long as they're not with me..."
"you have to get over this, you know?"
Phoebe asked
"I will... somehow..."
Paige said...
"okay... enough from me... what's with you... why are you here?"
"oh just the usual... Andy's going to be late... I'm worried about Lily, Anna stole Mags' make up aaand Mags, quote: 'maybe', wants to have sex"
"oookay... I love my kids"
Paige said laughing
"I thought we still had some years till the sex topic would start"
"well, you have"
Prue answered Phoebe.
"What about Lily?"
Piper asked
"she... well... I found her this morning in our bathroom, surrounded by the contents of the medicine cabinet... she said she only had some headache... but... I'm not sure about that... I just have a weird feeling..."
"you're just over worried... over protective..."
"Mags noticed something was wrong as well..."
Prue argued.
"what does Andy say?"
"Andy didn't really see her today... so..."
"what ya gonna do with Anna?"
"wait some more... see if she gives it back... if not, talk to her and ground her."
"it's gonna kill Andy, knowing she starts the make up case... what means the boys case..."
"I know..."
"mommy!"
Ben yelled as he entered with Cole again
"looky"
he said and showed Phoebe a little cup filled with brown ice cream
"did you get daddy again to buy you some, huh?"
Ben nodded proudly as Phoebe handed Fin back to Paige and picked her own son. She placed him on her lap and wrapped her arms around him. a second later Cole entered as well
"I'll never ever send you out shopping with Ben anymore"
"you don't want to see the shopping bags"
"daddy bought me cookies and jelly bears and m&m's and..."
Prue laughed
"men will never learn"
Piper added
"hey"
Leo said and entered as well.
"hey..."
Piper answered and kissed him back
"where's Chris... we wanted to go jogging..."
"again?"
"yeah..."
"why?"
"cause we both know, that we neglected Chris a little lately with the twins... and so I wanna spend some time with Chris... and that jogging does me good and him for his training..."
"alright... not gonna say anything anymore..."
Piper said
"soo where is he"
"backyard... with my daughter"
Prue told him
"where else?"
Leo added smiling.
"Wait... I'll come with you... need to take Anna along... gotta talk to her about something..."
Prue told him and they walked together outside
"do I..."
"nope... girls stuff..."
"okay..."
Leo answered
"Chris?"
"oh dad... I almost forgot!"
"you coming?"
"sure!"
Chris said smiling
"hey! What about me?"
Anna called after him
"about you I'm gonna care... come on... we gotta talk about something..."
"wha..."
"c'mon"
she said and wrapped an arm around her daughter, leading her inside and sitting her down on the couch
"Mags said, some make up of hers was missing... do you know something about it?"
"no..."
"Brianna..."
"yeah?"
"did you take it?"
"yeah..."
Prue sighted
"okay... umm... Mags is out with Lily... to get some pizza. As soon as they're back I want you to give the make up back to Mags and apologise..."
"okay..."
"and you're grounded for a week..."
"but... mom..."
"let me finish... tomorrow we'll go shopping and get you some make up on your own..."
"seriously?"
"yes."
"thank you mom!"
Brianna yelped and hugged Prue tightly. Prue smiled and hugged her back
"now go to your room... I'll call you, as soon as dinner's set..."
"okay, mom"
Anna said and ran upstairs...
