Thanks again for all the reviews. Glad you all liked the last chapter, and hope you like this one too, although I'm still leading up to something else. And AndyPrueForever, glad you like the story, it's always nice to have a new reader.

Ara's Lair

Prue slowly opened her eyes and began to observe her surroundings. She was in a dark cave, lit with torches and she was lying on a bed made of dry twigs etc… As she sat up to look around some more, she couldn't help but notice that her stomach that was once a tiny bulge had now grown slightly, and was very noticeable.

"Whoa… How long have I been knocked out?" Prue mumbled to herself, not able to see how her stomach could've grown so much.

"Only a few hours." Ara said as he walked out of the shadows. "Three to be exact." He smirked.

"But how?" Prue asked, looking down at her stomach.

"Oh, you can thank the Source for that. He gave me a little spell."

"Spell… What spell?"

"Hmm… well I guess I can tell you now. Your stomach is now growing at the rate of one month of your time, in simply an hour."

"What!" Prue screamed as she got up to her feet and looked him threateningly in the eyes.

"You heard me. Right now you are about four months pregnant…"

"But that… that's impossible." Prue said as she brushed her hair back, and tried to think about all this.

"Anything's possible with magic. You should know that." He smirked yet again; his smirking was really starting to irritate her.

"Go to hell." She replied as she raised her arm to send him flying, but a blue protection field surrounded him and sent her flying backwards into the wall.

"You seriously thought that I would be stupid enough to go up against a Charmed One, without extra help from the Source did you?" he snickered as he walked over to where she was curled up against the wall, cradling her right wrist, which throbbed in pain.

"My sisters will find me and kick your…" She said, but was cut off by him covering her mouth, with his dirty hand.

" That's if they find you in time, because you see in only five hours the child will be born. And then since I'll have no use for you, I will call my friend to deal with you."

"So once the child is born, you won't need me anymore?" Prue asked, not sure what the Source would want with her and Bane's child.

"Precisely." He smirked yet again.

"And what do you want with my baby?" Prue asked defensively.

"Well since you won't be alive much longer, I guess I can tell you." He then sat down on a rock nearby to begin his speech. "Well a male child, that is half witch, half mortal, yet has evil in him can be easily turned into a demon, and since his mother is a Charmed One, he will be equally as powerful."

"He." Was all Prue could say as tears came to her eyes, she was going to have a son.

"Foolish mortal, I tell you these plans and you cry because you are happy?"

"Well maybe I know that I won't let you or the Source himself touch my baby, as long as I live."

"You sound so confident that you will succeed."

"Hmm… So do you." She smiled.

Manor

Andy was sitting on the sofa in the attic, watching Piper pace around the room, as Phoebe flipped through the pages of the Book of Shadows.

"Okay well there's nothing else on either of them, so we just need to scry or something to find her." Phoebe said as she closed the book, and looked towards Leo.

"Look, I can try, but I can't promise anything." Leo said as he closed his eyes and concentrated hard.

"So there's nothing in the book about what he was chanting either?" Andy whispered, trying not to break Leo's concentration.

"No I looked everywhere. There's nothing in the book." Phoebe answered in a light whisper.

"Of course." Leo said under his breath, prompting everyone to look his way.

"Uh…. Of course what honey?" Piper asked as she walked over to Leo.

"I think I can sense her near the campsite he attacked Prue at last time."

"Oh… well that makes sense then." Piper said as she placed her hands on her hips to think, it was so hard trying to do Charmed duties without Prue to help.

"So what are we waiting for? Lets go get her." Phoebe said impatiently.

"I'd with you, lets go." Andy said as he and Phoebe walked over to Piper and Leo, where they all prepared to orb away.

"Ah… Not so fast, more time is needed for the process." Rowland said as he shimmered in and held out his hand. Andy saw a dark powder in his hand, but there wasn't enough time before he blew it over them. Exhaustion pulled them to the ground, as they fell into a deep sleep. "Sleep tight." He snickered as he blinked away.

Two hours later…

Andy woke up to find everyone else lying on the ground sleeping. He went to Piper, since he knew from the many years of being with Prue that Phoebe would never wake up.

"Piper… Piper wake up." Andy said as he shook her gently.

"Whoa… What happened?" Piper said as Andy helped her up, and then made his way over to Phoebe.

"He blew some sort of dust on us, and we've been asleep for a uh…" He looked down at his watch." Wow, two hours, we have to get to Prue."

"Agreed." Piper said as she began to wake Leo up.

Once Phoebe was awake, the four got up to their feet and successfully orbed away this time.

Ara's Lair

As soon as Andy saw Prue sitting against the stonewall, with a cut across her forehead, and cradling her right wrist, he ran towards her and held her close. It was then that he noticed her huge stomach.

"Prue? What the… You look like you're..." Andy began but was stopped by Prue beginning to speak.

"Umm… I think it's six months pregnant now." She mumbled, thinking that was probably the best way to approach the matter.

"Excuse me?" Andy said completely confused.

"The Source gave him a spell to do this to me, long story, lets just get out of here." Prue said as she signalled for Andy to help her off the ground, since she now couldn't quite do it on her own with the huge stomach in the way.

"I'll just ask later." He said as Piper and Phoebe walked over to Prue and engulfed her in a hug, before Leo came and orbed them back to the Manor.

Meanwhile in the shadows, Ara began to run after them, but Rowland quickly stopped him.

"Are you mad? How can you let them get away that easily?" Ara asked, completely enraged.

"By letting them go, they will go back to their home and get much more comfortable for the birth, and they will be more vulnerable, and unsuspecting. That's why we let them go."

"But Sir, the Source's orders."

"Were to do what I thought was best, and if we want this child to come to evil, and quickly before the apocalypse, we must do it now. That's partially why we made it grow so fast, we need it. So just do as I say with no questions."

"Yes Sir."
