A moment later Andy appeared in a dark cave where the sounds of and newborn infant's cries were echoing throughout.
"Prue…" He muttered under his breath as his pace quickened towards the noise. Not wanting to miss a second of seeing her alive again.
"Why are you walking so damn fast!" A familiar voice yelled from behind him. As he turned his head, rage overcame him when he looked back to see the Warlock Rowland that Prue had vanquished a while back.
"Because I need to save my family." Andy growled as he faded right outside of the opening for that area Prue was in.
"Andy?" Prue tilted her head to the side in curiosity as he ran in through the entrance.
When Andy walked through the door, he saw Prue sitting on a bed of hay, holding a very tiny newborn baby, wrapped in a red silk blanket, and he immediately ran towards her. The whole scene seemed to play out almost exactly as it had before.
"I'm here now." Andy said as he sat beside her and wrapped an arm around her. As his heartache slowly became a small pain with her and Darien in his arms. He carefully remembered to repeat most of his actions to not look suspicious.
"Look what I did." Prue said as she moved part of the blanket off his little face to show Andy. He gazed down at the little face, which had Prue's crystal blue eyes, and tanned skin like Bane's, and from the tiny bits of hair that was visible, you could tell it was a dark brown.
"Prue, he's beautiful." Andy smiled, looking down at the little being he knew all too well. He needed to save him this time, for the whole family's sake.
"Do you want to hold him?" Prue asked, before Andy quickly nodded, carefully receiving the baby. It was just as amazing as it was before. He could feel so much love for this little life.
"He's so little and tiny." Andy said as he ran his finger along his little arms, before playing with his fingers. He had never felt so much love for anyone else other than Prue, and was overjoyed.
"He sure looks tiny now, but when he's coming out of your body… He's anything but tiny." Prue said as she rested her head on Andy's shoulder.
"I wish I could have been there for you." Andy whispered as he kissed her temple gently, trying not to move too much and disturb the baby. Angry that he had missed the opportunity to be there for her again.
"You're here now." Prue smiled looking at Andy then back down at the baby. "Wow we need to think of a name for this little guy." She said as she began to caress his little head with her finger.
"I think Darien's pretty good." Andy laughed, of course that wouldn't have been his choice, but now it just suited him well. "But I say we worry about that after we escape from the underworld." Andy said looking her in the eye, hoping she had a plan.
"What are you looking at me for?" Prue asked. "You think I have a plan to get out? I've been giving birth!"
"Shh… Keep your voice down." Andy said, looking over at the group of demons and warlocks talking on the other side of the room, and the guards by the entrance. "And I think I have a plan." He said, actually having one this time.
"Well whatever the plan is, remember we have to do it with a newborn baby too," Prue added, once again looking down at him.
"My plan's perfect." Andy said, fading away with the three of them disappearing just as Rowland entered the room.
A moment later the three of them appeared on Prue's bed.
"Whoa!" Prue's now green eyes widened as she looked around the room. "How'd we do that?" She asked, knowing neither of them could do that.
"It must be one of his tricks." Andy said, grinning down and the very alert babe in his arms. He lied, but decided it was best to say it was Darien then him, too much pain to bring up and explain.
"I better go tell your sisters we're here." He said, looking down at how happy she was. "… Before they go down to look for us." He then began to walk out leaving Prue to rest after a long few days.
Attic
Piper watched Andy walk in with a small infant propped on his shoulder, covered in a red silk blanket.
"My nephew!" She yelped running towards Andy, grabbing the babe from his arms into hers. She was quick to overlook him, ensuring he had all ten fingers and toes. She then looked to study his features. He was clearly a Halliwell. The high cheekbones, and even though he was a small infant, he was very alert for his age. His dark hair and crystal blue eyes were what stood out the most.
"He's perfect." Piper mumbled as a few tears of joy fell from her eyes. She has almost lost this pure and innocent life, but he was here. Safe.
It didn't take long for Phoebe and Leo to make their way over to coo at him. The hatred Phoebe seemed to have days before was now gone as she looked down at the newest Halliwell.
Andy walked back into the attic smiling as he plopped a bottle full of nutritional milk and the potion into the babe's tiny mouth. He took in a sigh of relief as the infant greedily drank every last drop.
He then faded away to vanquish Rowland and Ara.
A year and a half later – (End of season three in general time line.)
Everything in the show that happened during season three happened, with the added characters of Darien and Andy of course.
Andy was in the parlour watching Darien attempt to walk across the room holding a big yellow truck.
"Dada, look, look!" The toddler yelled as his body wiggled as he stumbled across the floor trying to get to Andy. Andy laughed as the tot fell into his arms and began to show off his new truck.
"Do you like your present?" Andy said, looking into his innocent blue eyes. Darien simply nodded with a huge grin spread across his face.
"Good." Andy replied, "Because if you didn't, then I would have to… tickle you for being snobby!" Darien gasped as he giggled trying to run away, but Andy's long arm wrapped around his tiny waist, and held him by the straps of his navy blue overalls.
"Uh oh…" Darien muttered as he looked at Andy's playful face. It was then Andy began to tickle his little feet and sides as Darien giggle uncontrollably.
"I see someone's not getting ready for work.' Prue smiled at her two men as she walked into the Parlour with her camera bag ready. "Sweetie, do you still want to come with Mommy to take pictures?" She asked, walking up to where they were, kissing him on the temple.
"Yes peas." Darien answered as Prue took him into her arms, and balanced him on her hip.
"You're taking him into work?" Andy asked.
"Yeah, Phoebe has class early on Wednesdays, so she can't baby-sit." Prue answered, before pecking him quickly and walking out the door. Picking up Darien's diaper bag along the way.
Andy then proceeded to get ready for work, and about twenty minutes later, his breakfast was disrupted by the phone ringing.
"Hello." He answered trying to speak correctly while still chewing on his bagel.
"Hey, Andy." Prue's voice rang through the headpiece. "You're going to love these new pictures I took of Darien. I had a few extra shots when everyone was done, and they're so cute!"
"I can't wait to see them." Andy answered, sipping a large amount of orange juice.
"I'll bring them by right now, see you soon." Andy then smiled, hanging up the phone. As he was rinsing off his dishes, he could hear the voices of his family enter the house.
"Let's show Daddy your pictures." He could hear Prue's voice off in the distance as they two of them walked in. Darien was standing on Prue's feet, pretend walking as she walked, huge grin spread across his face. Once they reached the kitchen, his grasp on his mother's hands loosened as he took the pictures and ran awkwardly towards Andy. The pictures being almost half the size of his little body.
"Tis's me!" Darien shouted handing Andy the pictures. As soon as he accepted the pictures, the phone rang again. Only this time Prue answered. While she was on the phone, Andy was busy studying all the adorable pictures. Some with Darien playing on a cloud in his diaper, some with him eating food of some sort, and some were just captions of him making toys from anything while he was bored on set. He was then taken away from it all when Prue's frantic voice came into play.
"Phoebe and Piper are going to be here any minute, they're bringing an innocent doctor that is going to die by a large demon today here." Prue informed, handing Andy Darien's diaper bag. "Take him to the park or somewhere safe until we're done."
Fear overtook Andy as he remember the day Shax attacked, the premonition was of a doctor being killed. "No," Andy responded, picking Darien up from the floor.
"Andy, you two could be killed!" Prue argued.
"I'm not leaving you to fight this demon Prue!" Andy argued back, causing Darien to play ostrich in Andy's shoulder. "This demon is different."
"How is this specific demon any different?" Prue question, placing a hand on her hip.
"It just is." Was all he could say, turning his head to see the tiny toddler's horrified look.
"Andy, I would die if anything happened to the two of you." Prue paused, about to mutter words that had always been so hard for her to say. "I love you… Both of you." She smiled, smoothing Darien's short dark hair, calming him down at the same time.
It was then the manor door banged open and Phoebe, Piper along with Dr. Griffiths ran into the foyer.
"Prue!" Piper called for her sister as Phoebe ran for the spell.
"Coming!" Prue yelled, turning back to Andy pointing a warning finger as she ran into the foyer. "So what's the demon today?" She asked, looking at the frightened man standing in her house.
"Shax. He's the Source's assassin." Piper informed.
"Hold it, I get it. This is a practical joke, right? Do you have a hidden camera here? My second wife put you up to this? Ah, it's just like her." Dr. Griffiths laughed as he rubbed the top of his head.
"Oh…okay, Dr. Griffiths, listen to me, this is anything but..." Prue suddenly stopped what she was saying, with a puzzled look.
"What?" Piper asked curiously, noticing her sister's face.
"I don't know, I just felt a chill. Phoebe?" Prue screamed looking up towards the stairs, but there was no answer.
"Phoebe, are you there?" Prue repeated, causing Piper to make a confused face.
"Phoebe!" Piper screamed seeing a tornado break through the front door.
The tornado then ripped through the foyer, and knocked Prue, and Piper to the floor. Once a clap of thunder is heard, the tornado disappears, and Shax appears. Prue then used her body to cover and protect Piper, as she looked up to see Shax forming an energy ball, which was prepared for their innocent.
"Dear god." Dr. Griffiths said in shock and awe, unsure of what to do.
"No!" Prue screamed as she scrambled to her feet, in hopes to protect her innocent. She pushed him out of the way, and raised her hand to send the energy ball towards him, but it was too late. The energy ball hit Prue right in the stomach at a strong force, sending her crashing through the wall.
Piper lifted her head from the ground after hearing the sound of Prue crashing through the wall. The sight of Prue going through the wall was unbearable, and made her heart stop. She desperately got to her feet to help Prue, who was lying on the ground bleeding at a fast rate from her head. But when she raised her hands to freeze him, he fast too fast for her as well, and she was sent crashing through the wall as well, landing right next to Prue. Shax then grinned and turned to Dr. Griffiths.
"What are you?" Dr. Griffiths said in a low mumble, horrified by what he had just seen.
"The end." Shax growled, sending an energy ball at the man, causing him to fly through a window.
"Mommy!" A curious little Darien yelled as he padded through the dining room after hearing the screams and crashes with Andy running up behind him.
"Perfect." Shax cocked his head, studying his next victim as he sent another energy ball directly at the curious tot. Andy was quick to react as he pulled Darien by he overall straps, and faded away back to where he could fix things.
As soon as they reached the Source of all Magic's lair, everything went back to the way it was before Andy reversed time. Darien then switched from a toddler to an adult in a matter of seconds, with Andy clutching onto his black shirt.
"What the…" Darien mumbled under his breath, studying his surroundings.
"Time has reset to where you started, since you failed." The Source of all Magic answered before Darien could utter the next word.
"Okay, I get that." Andy answered, "But why is he here?"
"Destiny." The man answered. "You will need him and the fourth sister to save the family, and change this already altered destiny."
"Already altered?" Andy gave a look before crossing his arms over his chest. "And wait, fourth sister!"
"Your destiny was to die at the hands of Rodriquez and Tempus." The man informed. "But the love you two share has opened up a new, greater destiny." He smiled.
"Wow." Andy and Darien said in unison.
"And the fourth sister is who will help alter this destiny. You need her magic to complete their new destiny." The man then waved his hand over the fountain to reveal a woman who strongly resembled Prue, while very pale ivory coloured skin sitting at a receptionist desk.
"Find Paige, and change his destiny." The man said, winking to Darien. "He will inherit your power."
"Whoa, hold on a second." Andy began, pulling the Source of Magic back. "He isn't my biological son, how can he inherit any magic I have or will have?"
"Anything can be done with magic." The man smiled, sending the two men thoughts of how to do this, and when to go back in time.
"Well if this works, then we don't need Bane in our lives anymore." Andy joked, placing a hand on Darien's shoulder, fading away.
