It has been eight years and not word came from my family, so now I have a new family. Every day for two years I waited for my mum to want to know me and every day I was disappointed. Alex was forgiving and supportive and helped me get back on track.

I finished high school with top marks and was accepted in all universities I applied for. In the end I wanted to stay where I was familiar with so I am in San Francisco still. I decided I loved children a lot and wanted to be a teacher.

I think the hardest decision was whether to do high school teaching or Primary, in the end it was Alex that decided for me. We sat down on my 18th birthday and discussed the differences in the two jobs and which would be more harder with my witchcraft, and decided high school teaching. So I went to university, with my head held high and my heart on my sleeve but I went. It took me five years to complete the course.

In my 3rd year of my course on August the 15th Alex took me to a candlelight dinner in a garden in Italy. He orbed me there and there were roses blooming and the scent of honeysuckle in the air. We ate pasta and Gelato and then we walked around the garden. He got down on one knee just like in the movies and said "Prudence Melinda Halliwell Turner you are my Hope, my future and I love you with all my heart, Will you do me the honour of marrying me? It was the happiest day of my life so far. Tomorrow we marry so that will probably beat it.

I think the second happiest day of my life was when I found out I was pregnant. This only happened a month ago and I am waiting until tomorrow night to tell Alex. I am currently 3 months pregnant and am showing a little bump which if you weren't me you wouldn't see. I think I glow but I am happy. The only thing that would make me happier is if my father walked me down the aisle. I know most people want their mother there but me I want my dad, he brought me up (well most of my younger years). No matter what people say my earlier years although unusual was the best. Alex I think understands because when I told him he kissed me on the head and said "You do what you want". So this is why I am at the moment standing outside my parents house which amazingly I have not visited in eight years.
