I forgot to put a disclaimer in the first chapter so here's one now.
Disclaimer: I do own Charmed, pigs do fly, and the fat lady did sing. Yeah right, all I own are the charmed kids in this story and Ryan.
Thank you so much for all the reviews. Please keep reviewing. I'm going to pretend making the basement into a bedroom wouldn't interfere with the nexus. In the show I have no idea if it would.
"Good morning" Prue said walking into the kitchen with the girls.
"Where's Andy?" Piper asked.
"Where do you think?" Prue said. "He got called in…again"
"It's not his fault" Piper said.
"I know. When he got home at two in the morning he gave me flowers and candy to make up for missing the ultrasound" Prue said.
"That's sweet" Phoebe said.
"Yeah but I still wish he'd be here more" Prue said.
She lifted Ava and Andrea into their height chairs.
"Anyway, Andy and I were discussing something last night" Prue said. "I don't want to move out but we're not going to have enough space for the babies. I mean your baby has the nursery, which can be turned into a room, in the closet but my baby can only sleep in my room for a couple years. Does anyone have any ideas?"
"Without moving out, no" Piper said. "Didn't you guys come up with any?"
"One of Andy's ideas was to convert the basement into a bedroom but wouldn't it interfere with the nexus?" Prue said. "Plus nobody should have to sleep in the basement"
"I'd sleep in the basement" Phoebe said. "If it was turned into a bedroom. Would it interfere with the nexus, Leo?"
"No, not since you vanquished the woogyman" Leo said.
"Then what do you guys think?" Prue said. "Maybe we could turn Phoebe's bedroom into a bedroom for the girls?"
"It's fine with me" Phoebe said.
"I'm okay with it except for the fact that what about if any of us have more kids?" Piper asked. "And we're going to have to have workers in the basement so how can we explain the demons?"
"If or when the next Halliwell baby after our two comes into the manor, they'll have to share a room the girls, your kid, or my son. If anymore come after that then I'm pretty sure I'll be insane with so many kids in the manor that I'll move out. And I don't have an answer for the next question" Prue said.
"Stuff two kids into my closet?" Piper asked.
"Or share a room with their cousin" Prue said.
"Leo, do you have any suggestions on how to transform the basement without exposing magic?" Phoebe asked.
"We could use magic to do it" Leo said.
"What about personal gain?" Piper asked.
"If it's protecting magic from exposal then it's not personal gain" Leo said.
"I'm sure that excuse would go well with the Elders. I need to redecorate my basement so I'm using magic so I don't expose magic" Prue said sarcastically.
"They've surprised us before" Phoebe said. "Maybe they'll do it again"
"We can at least ask" Leo said.
"Go ahead but I doubt they'll listen" Piper said.
Leo orbed out.
"What was Andy's other ideas" Phoebe asked.
"Add on to the manor or move out" Prue said.
"I don't like any of those ideas" Piper said.
"Neither did I" Prue said. "With all of the witch stuff I just can't see how living out of the manor would work"
"It would be kind of hard" Phoebe said.
"Definitely" Piper said. "Plus I like living with you guys"
"Me too" Prue said.
"Me three" Phoebe said.
"Who votes we go shopping and out to lunch today?" Prue said.
"I do" Phoebe said. "But what about Cole?"
"We've been fighting demons for the last eight months, I think we deserve a break" Piper said.
"Agreed" Prue said. "But I have to bring the girls along"
"It can be a girls' day out" Phoebe said.
"Did you hear that, Aunt Phoebe just called you a girl" Prue said to her stomach.
"I'm sorry" Phoebe said to Prue's stomach. "It can be a boy, possible boys, and a girls' day out"
"He says thank you" Prue said.
"How about after breakfast we head to the mall?" Piper said.
"Sounds good" Phoebe said.
Prue, Piper, and Phoebe started breakfast. Leo orbed in.
"What did they say?" Prue asked.
"We have to do the work with magical assistance" Leo said.
"We, I don't think Piper and Prue are really going to be able to help and Andy's tied up at work" Phoebe said. "That leaves you and me"
"This should be funny to watch" Piper said smiling.
"Hey, I take offense" Phoebe said. "I can build things"
"At least they'll have magical assistance" Prue said. "Plus Andy's going to have to take some days off soon or he'll go insane and so will I"
"Well it'll give us something to do" Phoebe said.
"I didn't know you guys wanted something to do, I could have given it to you" Piper said. "Anyways, after we're done with breakfast we're going for a girls' day out not counting Prue's unborn son and our it"
"Okay, I guess I can start on the basement" Leo said.
"I'll call Andy and see if he can come home early to help you although I doubt he will be able to" Prue said.
"Poor Andy, what case is he working on that's taking so long?" Phoebe asked.
"A bank robber, he's robbed eight stores in the last three days" Prue said.
"And they haven't caught him yet?" Piper asked.
"No, by the time the police arrive he's gone" Prue said. "Andrea can you please eat your cereal?"
"No" Andrea said.
"Excuse me?" Prue said.
"Look she's turning into you. One of her first words is no" Phoebe said.
"Very funny. Andrea eat your cereal" Prue said.
"No" Ava said.
"Now she's saying it" Prue said. "That's just great. Wait until daddy hears you say that to him"
Everyone finishes their breakfast and Piper, Prue, Phoebe, and the girls load up into the car.
"I'm driving because I am not sitting in a car where one of my pregnant sisters is driving" Phoebe said.
"Fine by us" Piper said.
They start heading towards the mall. Phoebe turns on the radio.
"This just in, a man walking into a bank demanding money shot three officers and then himself. One of the officers was rushed to the hospital in critical condition after being shot twice" the radio announcer said.
"I wonder if Andy knows the officer" Piper said.
Prue's cell phone rings.
"Hello?" Prue says answering the phone.
"Prue? It's Darryl. Andy's been shot and is in critical condition. You need to get to the hospital now" Darryl said.
"Okay" Prue said with tears in her eyes.
She hung up the phone.
"That was Darryl, Andy was the officer who was shot; we need to get to the hospital" Prue said.
Phoebe started towards the hospital.
"It's going to be okay, Prue" Piper said.
Prue wiped tears from her eyes.
"I'm going to call Leo and tell him to meet us at the hospital so he can take the girls home" Piper said.
She picked up her phone.
"Leo?" Piper said. "Okay, yeah we'll be there in a couple minutes. Bye"
Piper hung up the phone.
"Darryl called the house first so he already knew what was going on" Piper said.
"We're here" Phoebe said pulling into the hospital.
Prue went into the hospital while Piper and Phoebe unloaded the girls.
"Prue" Darryl said.
"Is he okay?" Prue asked.
"They took him into surgery a couple of minutes ago" Darryl said. "Why don't we go to the waiting room and sit down"
Piper and Phoebe came in with the girls.
"They took him into surgery" Prue said.
"He's going to be okay, Prue" Phoebe said.
They went to the waiting room. Soon Leo arrived.
"Any news?" Leo asked.
"No, they took him into surgery about twenty minutes ago" Piper said.
"Dada!" Ava shouted smiling.
Prue tried to smile.
"I think I should take the girls home" Leo said.
He took the stroller and took the girls home.
They sat there for another two hours before a doctor came out.
"We were able to get both of the bullets out but he's still in critical condition. The bleeding has stopped but he's in a coma and he's in intensive care right now. We don't know when he'll wake up. It could be days, months, or years" The doctor said.
"Can I see him?" Prue asked.
"He's in room 293" The doctor said.
"We'll stay out here" Phoebe said. "You and Darryl go in"
Prue and Darryl went into Andy's room. Prue sat down beside him.
"I better not lose you again Andrew Trudeau" Prue said grabbing his hand. "You have a son who desperately wants to meet you and two daughters who adore you…"
Prue started to cry.
"And a fiancée who can't take losing you again" Prue said.
"He's a fighter, Prue" Darryl said. "He'll make it"
"Prue?" Mary said coming into the room with Al.
"Hi Mary" Prue said quickly wiping the tears from her eyes.
Mary hugged Prue.
"This baby is not going to be a policeman or I'll go insane" Prue said trying to smile.
Mary smiled.
"How is he?" Mary asked.
"The bleeding stopped but he's in a coma" Prue said.
"I never knew which was harder, being a policeman or being a policeman's wife. And now I think it's being a policeman's mother" Mary said.
They sat there for twenty minutes.
"I think we should go home" Al said. "Call us if there's any news"
"I should probably go too" Darryl said.
They left the room.
"Destiny really doesn't want us together, do they?" Prue said. "I need you Andy, please don't leave me"
She took his hand and placed it on her stomach.
"That's your son who desperately wants to meet you" Prue said. "I know you can hear me, please wake up"
Prue sat there holding his hand. Piper and Phoebe came in.
"I'm beginning to wonder if both of us are going to make it to our wedding in one piece" Prue said.
"He'll wake up, Andy didn't come back just to leave you again" Piper said.
They sat there for a couple hours.
"Why don't we go home for a while?" Piper said.
"No, I don't want to leave him" Prue said.
"Prue it would only be for an hour, you could come back" Phoebe said. "You haven't eaten for a while and the girls probably miss you"
"I can't leave him" Prue said. "You guys go home; you don't have to stay because of me"
"Are you sure?" Piper asked.
"Yeah" Prue said.
"We'll be back in an hour" Phoebe said. "Promise me you will get something to eat and come see the girls when we come back"
"I promise" Prue said.
"Bye" Piper said.
"Bye"
Phoebe and Piper went home. Prue laid her head by Andy and fell asleep holding his hand.
"Prue? Prue, wake up" Piper said. "You need to get something to eat, its 8:00 at night"
Prue looked at her watch.
"You fell asleep" Phoebe said.
"You should go home, Prue" Piper said. "They'll let you know if anything happens"
"And if it's serious Leo can orb you over" Phoebe said.
"Yeah" Prue said getting up.
She kissed Andy's forehead.
They went back to the manor. Prue took the girls to her room for a while.
"I made some food for you" Piper said coming into Prue's room.
"I'm not really hungry" Prue said. "Why can't I protect him? I can save innocents everyday but I can't save him"
"Maybe it seems like that because you love him" Piper said. "It's easy to protect innocents because you don't know them and there's not so much at stake because if you lose them it won't change your life forever. I know that sounds horrible but it might be the truth"
"He got upset when he found out that I got hurt yesterday yet I can't make him understand that I worry about every single second of my life. He goes from chasing humans who are just as bad a demons to a home were real demons pop in every second" Prue said.
"I know it's hard for you, I feel that way when Leo's call away. You both are going to have to understand that risking your life is part of both of your jobs, there's no way around that" Piper said.
"How do you accept that the love of your life might die?" Prue said.
"By knowing that one day you'll be together again" Piper said.
Again thank you for the reviews and keep reviewing.
