If I haven't mentioned in the story that Victor moved into the apartment closer to the manor then he has. It won't make sense why I'm telling you this until the end of the chapter.
The next morning,
Prue coughed.
"I'm staying home and taking care of you" Andy said. "That's final"
"Andy I'm fine" Prue said.
Her voice grew hoarse. She started coughing again. Andy felt her forehead.
"You're running a fever Prue" Andy said. "I'm staying home. Now go back to sleep"
"Fine" Prue whispered hoarsely.
"And I think you're losing your voice" Andy said.
Prue laid back down.
"I'm going to go get a thermometer" Andy said.
Andy tucked Prue in.
"I'd kiss you, but I don't want to get sick" Andy said.
Prue started coughing.
"And I'll get you some cough medicine" Andy said.
"Thank you" Prue whispered.
Andy went downstairs to the kitchen where everyone was.
"Prue's sick" Andy said. "She's got a fever and is losing her voice"
"Do you want us to take the kids today?" Phoebe asked. "When I heard about Cole yesterday I took today off"
"And I don't have to work today" Piper said.
"That would be nice" Andy said.
He got the thermometer and cough medicine and went upstairs.
"Well they can't argue now" Phoebe said.
"Phoebe that's terrible" Piper said.
"It's true" Phoebe said.
A demon shimmered in. Piper blew it up.
"What is with the constant demon attacks?" Piper asked.
"Probably Cole's way of annoying us" Phoebe said.
Ryan orbed in and kissed Phoebe.
"Not in front of the child" Leila said covering her eyes.
"Or the adult" Piper said.
"Oh please like you haven't done the same thing" Phoebe said.
"Where are Prue and Andy?" Ryan asked. "And Leo?"
"Prue's sick so Andy's taking care of her and Leo's working in the basement putting the finishing touches on the rooms" Piper said.
(They decided to put a room for Phoebe and a room for Leila in the basement just so everyone knows)
"So when is my room going to be done?" Leila asked.
"By tomorrow hopefully" Piper said.
"Good, Mom kicks" Leila said.
"I do not" Phoebe said.
"Yes you do" Piper said.
"102" Andy said holding up the thermometer. "Which means you go back to sleep"
Prue sighed and laid her head down. Andy laid down beside her.
"Come here" Andy said.
Prue laid her head on Andy's chest. He stroked her hair.
"I know how much you hate being sick" Andy said. "Why don't you give me a list of what you wanted to do today and I can do it"
"Just start some of the laundry and ask Piper to go grocery shopping" Prue whispered.
"Okay" Andy said. "Now go back to sleep"
Prue closed her eyes and fell into a restless sleep. Soon Andy fell asleep.
A few hours later.
"They're still sleeping?" Piper asked.
"Yeah but it's kind of cute. Prue's cuddled up next to him and has her head lying on his chest" Phoebe said.
"Geez, spy much?" Andy asked coming into the conservatory.
"Well you guys were upstairs for three hours" Phoebe said. "And we wanted to check on Prue"
"She's still sleeping" Andy said. "And she said to ask you, Piper, to go grocery shopping"
"Already did" Piper said.
"And I did the laundry" Phoebe said.
Andy sat down on the blanket where the kids were. Ava and Andrea were telekinetically throwing things at each other and laughing.
"Patience's power is really annoying" Piper said. "Projecting thoughts into people's heads. This morning I woke up and the first thing I thought was Patience is hungry and bored"
Phoebe laughed.
"Have fun with that one" Phoebe said.
"I think Aidan's mortal" Andy said. "Nothing out of the normal seems to happen around him"
"Mortal is good too" Phoebe said.
"Yeah but I think it worries Prue that he can't protect himself" Andy said.
"Maybe it's just taking some time for him to figure out his power" Piper said.
As if on cue, the teddy bear lying next to Aidan came to life.
"What they heck is that?" Andy asked.
"I think it's your son's power" Piper said laughing.
"How do I get him to stop it?" Andy asked.
"Tell him to" Phoebe said. "Here, Aidan stop that right now"
The teddy bear fell back down to the ground.
"That was slightly creeping. I don't know if I want my four month old son bringing inanimate objects to life" Andy said.
"Just be glad it's not the twins with that power" Phoebe said.
"When Prue wakes up I'll tell her that she doesn't have to worry anymore" Andy said. "Did you keep Leila home from school today?"
"No, I told her if she sees Cole immediately call Ryan or Leo" Phoebe said.
Andy heard Prue coughing upstairs.
"Wow, that cough sounds nasty" Phoebe said. "Do you want Piper to make her some soup?"
"I don't know if she's hungry" Andy said. "I think I'll make a doctor's appointment for her"
"Good idea" Piper said. "Although if it's the flu then there's not much he can do"
"I'm going to go check on her" Andy said getting up.
Cole shimmered in.
"Andy take the kids and go" Piper said
"Don't worry, I wouldn't waste precious time killing him" Cole said. "Although your children I would have to think about"
"Cole, leave them alone" Phoebe demanded.
"You think you can tell me what to do" Cole said.
He threw an energy ball at Phoebe. She levitated above it.
"Leave, Cole!" Phoebe shouted.
"If you had stayed with me I wouldn't have to kill you and your family, Phoebe" Cole said.
"You don't have to" Phoebe said. "You always said that being half demon allowed you to love. If that was true that it allows you the choice not to kill"
"I have the choice and I've already made the decision" Cole said.
Demons shimmered in all around them.
"Don't call for Leo or Ryan" Andy said spotting a darklighter.
"We have to get you and the kids out of here" Phoebe said.
"Andrea, take everyone but the demons upstairs to mommy" Andy whispered to Andrea.
They appeared in Prue's room.
"Prue we have to leave now" Andy said.
Prue struggled to stand up. Andy picked her up.
"Leila" Phoebe said. "We have to get her"
They appeared at Darryl's.
"Why are we here?" Piper asked.
"Because they read my mind" Andy said. "Leave Prue and the babies with Sheila. Then we'll go get Leila"
"Go" Sheila said.
"The book" Prue whispered. "You left it in the manor"
"Phoebe, take Andrea and get Leila" Piper said. "I'm going have Leo take me to the manor and get the book"
Phoebe and Leila disappeared.
"Don't go Piper" Prue said. "It's too dangerous"
"We have to get the book" Piper said. "Leo!"
Leo and Ryan orbed in.
"Don't" Prue said. "We don't need the book right now"
"But what if they figure out how to open it?" Piper asked.
"They can't, they don't have good to do it" Prue whispered losing her voice.
Phoebe, Leila, and Andrea appeared.
"Where's the book?" Phoebe asked.
"That's not important right now" Prue whispered. "Cole's going to figure out where we are and we can't risk hurting Darryl and he's family. We need to find another place to go. Andy you need to go up there with the Aidan and Patience"
"Prue, I'm not leaving, you're sick which makes you just as defenseless as me" Andy said.
"I still have my powers" Prue said. "You don't"
"Prue, try to move something with your telekinesis" Andy said.
Prue tried to move a vase. It only wobbled.
"Is that normal?" Phoebe asked.
"Being sick can affect a witch's powers" Leo said.
"Prue, you shouldn't be fighting demons then" Piper said.
"I'm fine, just give me some potions and I'll be fine" Prue whispered hoarsely.
"Here's the plan" Phoebe said. "Prue, Andy, and the kids are going to be dropped off at Dad's. Leo and Piper will orb in and try to get the book. Ryan and I will fend off any demons that get in our way and be prepared to orb anyone up there"
"Feel free to stay here as long as you want" Sheila said.
"No, we can't put you guys in that kind of danger" Piper said. "Ryan and Phoebe, orb Andy, Prue and the kids to dads. If demons show up there, orb them up there"
Prue tried to object but couldn't say anything. Ryan and Phoebe took everyone's hands and orbed them to Victor's.
"Ready, sweetie" Piper said. "If you see a darklighter orb out, don't wait for me"
"You know I can't do that" Leo said.
"Leo, promise me you will" Piper said. "I couldn't live without you"
Leo was quiet.
"Leo" Piper said.
"I promise" Leo said.
They orbed out to the manor. Immediately Piper froze everything in the room that would freeze. Leo and Piper ran to the book dodging fireballs and energy balls. Piper grabbed the book. Cole shimmered in.
"You guys are getting predictable" Cole said.
A crystal cage formed around Leo and Piper.
"Crap" Piper said. "I knew this was too easy"
"It's about to get worse, Piper" Cole said.
A darklighter shimmered in and shot Leo.
"No" Piper said with tears in her eyes. "Leo, Leo, no, no, you can't die, no"
"You took away my love and now I'm going to take away yours" Cole said.
At Victor's apartment. They explained everything to Victor and are waiting for Piper and Leo to return.
"They're taking way too long to get it, something's got to be wrong" Phoebe said.
"Cole must have figured out they were coming" Ryan said
"This is great" Andy said.
He looked on the couch. Prue had fallen asleep.
"I don't think she's going to be able to fight demons" Andy said.
"We can't vanquish him without the power of three" Phoebe said. "We need Prue. Ryan can't you heal her?"
"Unless it was a demon that gave her the flu, then no" Ryan said. "Let her sleep until she's absolutely needed"
"We still need the book" Phoebe said.
"I have an idea" Leila said. "But I need Prue to do it"
"I guess either way, we're going to have to wake her up" Andy said.
He lightly shook Prue.
"Prue, wake up, we need you" Andy said.
Prue opened her eyes and sat up. Leila came over and whispered something to Prue.
Prue shook her head no.
"Prue, Cole has Piper and Leo" Phoebe said.
Prue sighed.
"I need six candles" Prue said hoarsely.
"I'll go get some" Victor said.
He left and returned with six candles. Andy helped Prue stand up and she placed them in a circle. She whispered a spell. A woman appeared.
"We need your help" Prue whispered.
"Who is she?" Phoebe asked.
Prue sighed and turned to Phoebe.
"Phoebe, meet Paige… your sister" Prue said.
