Growing Part 6:
Midnight Drama

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

In the middle of the night Prue woke form sounds in the bathroom. She opened here yes and was blinded by the light from the bathroom. She closed her eyes gain and turned around again. She turned the light on her night stand on and sat up in the bed. She looked on the clock 2.13 a.m. . Prue grumbled and got up, walking to the bathroom
"heey"
"hey..."
Andy said turning around in the shower
"sorry... charges..."
"well... sorry... but... daughters..."
"yeah... I think they're over at Lily's room..."
"it's after 2 a.m. ..."
"well... there's light on and I heard Anna and Mags"
"you didn't go in?"
"no... Thought it might be important..."
"it's 2 a.m. ... they have..."
"no school tomorrow"
Prue sighted
"sooo what did you want to talk to me about?"
"it's three things you won't like... and each of it belong to one..."
"okay... start with Anna... she can't be big trouble..."
"she stole Mags' make up..."
"noooo! Not make up! Not boys..."
"I'm afraid so... aaand I promised her we'd get some make up for her tomorrow"
"why did you do that?"
"cause she's 13... She needs her own make up..."
"no she doesn't... she's ... my girl... you know?"
"so was Mags..."
"I hate you saying such things"
Prue smiled at him and watching him getting soaped and all
"okay... I guess I know... what's with Mags... she caused a car accident..."
"no she didn't... way worse... for you..."
"it gets worse than Anna wanting make up?"
"yes... and I need you to promise me, that you'll not kill someone... after you heard it"
"okay..."
"she... as she says 'maybe'... wants to have sex with Robbie."
Andy starred at her
"Andy?"
"I'm gonna kill him... and her"
he said still starring at Prue...
"you promised me you'd not"
"please tell me I heard wrong when you said... sex and Mags in the same sentence..."
"nope..."
"what did you tell her?"
"that she's not allowed to see Robbie anymore..."
"Oooh I love you..."
Prue smirked
"... in the evening... till she saw a doctor and got herself birth control pills..."
"I... do think... I'm having a heart attack right now..."
"no you aren't, stupid"
Prue said laughing
"where from do you know that? My dad died on a heart attack..."
"yeah and my did almost as well... so?"
"okay... calm me... what's with Lil?"
Prue didn't answer but instead looked at the door, which was coming from outside, where someone had knocked.
"Come in!"
Prue yelled. Mags entered the bathroom and looked at her mom, kinda scared
"what's wrong?"
Prue asked, immediately worried.

Half an hour earlier:

Brianna was creeping up to the attic, to her bigger sister's room. She knocked on it and then entered
"Mags..."
Meghan didn't reply
"Mags... please..."
"Anna! It's late... get away!"
"no... c'mon... there's something with Lily..."
"what? What's wrong?"
"she's... she's burning up... it's crazy... I never felt someone being this hot... she... she's scared the cancer is back... she doesn't want to tell mom and dad cause she doesn't want back to hospital..."
"w... wa... waaait a second..."
Meghan said and fumbled around, turning on the light on her night stand, sitting up. "Lily ahs pain?"
"yeah... she says she has it in the same spot, she had pain in... when... when... Mags I'm scared... she looks really bad..."
Anna said, as tears shot to her eyes.
"Shshs... Anna we need to stay calm now, okay? You can't freak now, okay?"
Anna nodded and pushed her tears away
"let's go... maybe... it's not cancer... maybe it's something else..."
Mags said, getting out of her bed and wrapped her bathrobe around her, then went with Anna back down to Lily. Mags sat down on Lily's bed and looked worried at her. She really looked worst. She felt her forehead.
"Did you take temperature?"
Mags asked Anna. Brianna shook her head
"okay... umm... go get the one from your guys' bathroom..."
"you'll not tell mom and dad, right?"
Lily asked lowly.
"Lil... you're... really not looking so good..."
"I don't want back to hospital..."
"I... I know... but..."
"there"
Anna said handing Meghan the thermometer
"we'll see, okay Lily? Now c'mon... let me take your temperature"
Meghan told her and placed the thermometer in Lily's mouth. Anna climbed onto the bed and over Lily setting herself on the other side of their little sister.
"Is... is the only thing hurting your stomach? Nothing else? No sneezing or coughing?"
Mags asked, even though she knew the answer, since she didn't hear her at any time today.
"Only my side..."
Lily whispered.
"but... I heard her throw up... several times... that's how I found her in the bathroom..."
Anna told Mags and exchanged worried glances with her bigger sister
"Mags... please say she's not back to that..."
"Anna..."
Mags said... not being able to go further and somewhat happy, that they were interrupted by the beeping thermometer. She grabbed it from Lily's mouth and looked at it. 41,17°C
"Anna... go to bathroom and get Lily a cold cloth... I'm gonna talk to mom..."
"no!"
Lily cried out
"Lily... you're... you've passed the temperature... any normal human can take... we have to call a doctor... at least talk to mom... or dad... or both..."
"Mags please... I don't want this crap happening again..."
"it happens whether mom and dad know or not, Lily... only by hiding it... nothing's getting better... the docs..."
"will do chemo again..."
"will heal you again..."
Mags told her...
"please don't"
"I can't different..."
Mags said, not wanting to loose her sister. Mags got up
"Maggie... please..."
Mags ignored her and left her room. She wanted to go to the bedroom, but then saw light and heard talking from the bathroom and knocked there
"come in"
came her mother's voice. Mags bit her lip and entered. She actually would have turned away cause of her naked father, but she was too worried about Lily

"Lily... she...s he's burning up... I... Anna got me... a few minutes ago... and... I took her temperature... and she's over 40°C... she says she has pain in her side... she... she... mom..."
Mags said starting to cry. Prue didn't look at Andy speechless. She knew there was something wrong. She simply knew it. She went for her oldest daughter and hugged her tightly
"shshshshs... we'll get her to the hospital... everything will be okay again..."
"she... she doesn't want to..."
Mags sobbed. Prue glanced back at Andy
"I'm gonna get dressed"
Prue nodded...
"hurry"
Prue told him, almost begging. Then lead Meghan with her to Lily's room.
"Okay... umm... Mags... Anna... you two... go downstairs... make some coffee... and... Popcorn... and... Take any DVD you want..."
"what about Lily?"
Anna asked
"dad and I'll take her to the hospital..."
"we wanna come... please mom..."
Prue looked at her daughter's begging face and remembered how often Grams had forbidden her and her sisters to come along or to be there for one of their sisters. She remembered how cruel it always was and how they always hated her for not letting them be there
"okay... okay... but... go downstairs... okay? Make some coffee..."
"okay..."
"and... And... Umm... go to... to the manor... tell aunt piper where we are and to call your grandparents... and tell everyone, okay?"
"okay"
Mags nodded and took Anna's hand and lead her from the room. Prue sighted. She saw already from far how bad Lily looked.
"Hey..."
"hey."
Lily said in a whisper, not able for more.
"I thought we made clear, that you tell me if something is wrong..."
Lily looked down
"how long do you have pain already?"
"a few weeks..."
Lily told her.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I don't want chemo again... please mommy... let me die... I don't want chemo again."
Tears sprang to her eyes, as Prue heard what her little sunshine said
"Lily no... No... You're not gonna die... no..."
"I don't want chemo... my hair... it's finally long again... I don't wanna loose it... mommy please..."
Prue bit her lip
"the hair will grow again, baby... the most important now is, that u... you are getting really... really fast better now..."
"don't take me to the hospital... please mommy..."
Prue sighted... she was pulled between helping her daughter and doing what she wanted. Andy entered the youngest Trudeau's room as well
"please mommy... no chemo... please..."
Prue looked at Andy, who saw Prue was willing to leave her home. He shook his head and Prue looked down at Lily again
"Lily... please... you have to listen to me now, okay? Dad will take you to the hospital now..."
"noooo... mommy please"
"shshshshs... we have to check this pains out, okay? It doesn't have to be cancer... it can... also maybe... be something else... we'll just check it out for now... and then we decide what we're gonna do, okay?"
Lily didn't answer but kept crying... Prue looked desperately down at her
"get her some blanket and some other things"
Andy told her. Prue nodded and kissed Lily's forehead before letting go of her daughter's hand. Andy walked over and wanted to pick Lily as she disappeared, using her powers to reappear in her desk-chair
"Lily... stop it now. I'll take you to the hospital, one way or another..."
"no... Daddy..."
"Lily, this has to be... you have to get checked out..."
finally Andy picked her. Prue threw a blanket over her
"I'm... gonna follow with Mags and Ann..."
Andy nodded
"I love you"
Prue told Lily and kissed her forehead again. She was scared, it could have been the last time. She looked at Andy with tears in her eyes. Andy just pecked her fast and then disappeared with Lily. Prue bit her lip and sat down on Lily's bed. she covered her face with her hands and started to sob
"oh god... please..."
Prue took herself a few minutes to calm down and then went to the girls' room and got their clothes. What they wore the other day. She got dressed herself again and went downstairs and into kitchen
"everything done?"
Prue asked in a weak voice, showing she had cried.
"Yeah"
Mags said in an almost equal voice, just a whole lot worst.
"Okay... get dressed... I get everything into the car already"
"can't we..."
"no... We're driving there, like any normal family..."
"but..."
"goddess... girls... please!"
Prue almost yelled
"just once... I don't want to hear this buts with everything me or your father say..."
the girls stopped complaining and so Prue grabbed the can full of coffee and the bag for Lily again and went outside to the car.

Prue and the girls met Andy at the hospital
"where's she?"
Prue asked
"they put her right into surgery..."
"what's wrong?"
"nothing... like we thought... it's her appendix... but... it broke... and... It's very dangerous... they... they don't know if she'll make it..."
"noo..."
Anna made and leaned into her mom, even more. Prue was short before breaking down herself. Meghan just stood somehow behind. Holding her mom's hand tightly, crying silently...
"okay... c'mon... you guys better sit down..."
Andy said and lead Prue and with that also the girls to some close by chairs. Prue sat down in the middle. Meghan clung onto her right arm. Leaning her head on her shoulder but sitting straight. Anna sat down on Prue's left side and laid her upper body down on her mom's lap. Prue crawled Anna's head and Mags' hand, while she starred into Andy's eyes, who crawled her head, to calm her down
"I should have... made her talk... not... give her pain killers..."
"this is not your fault..."
"the hell it isn't... I'm her mother! I should have known!"
"Prue... this is not the time..."
he whispered...
