Okay this is going to be a pretty long author's notes but it has somewhat important information in it so please read it. Starting off, I just realized that my little scene change mark isn't showing up so from now on the scene change mark will be 000000. I know, that's kind of sad when you don't realize your scene change mark isn't showing upuntil you've already written one storyand one half of another story.Second of all, I am going back to school Tuesday so I probably won't be able to update regularly, I don't really know it depends on the teachers I get. And I actually forgot what the third thing I was going to tell you was so if I remember it I'll put it in the next chapter. I am going to try to update one more time before I go back to school. The more reviews I get, the faster I try to update.
"How are you feeling?" Victor asked.
"I'm fine" Prue said. "You know I'm really tired right now, so if you could just…"
Victor cut her off.
"You and your sisters could die fighting Cole" Victor said. "I know I can't stop you from fighting him but I at least need to stop you from fighting him while you still hate me"
"I don't hate you" Prue said hoarsely.
"Then why are you still calling me Victor?" Victor asked.
"Because someone calls someone Dad when they've been there to raise them. Just like Paige called her adoptive dad, Dad" Prue whispered. "And just like my kids will call Andy Dad. You haven't raised me so I don't feel that it's right if I call you Dad. And don't start with the whole I didn't want to leave you thing because I've heard it, Victor. It won't make a difference in my decision. For about twenty two years you didn't raise me, you didn't keep the one promise that you made"
"I'm…"
Prue cut him off.
"Don't, it won't make a difference" Prue whispered. "Now please, I'm tired"
"Fine" Victor said. "I'll leave"
Prue turned over so her back was facing Victor. He walked out of the room.
"How'd it go?" Piper asked.
"Not good" Victor said.
"We came up with a plan" Phoebe said. "But I think we'll wait until the morning"
"You guys can stay here tonight" Victor said. "I'll get some blankets"
"Ryan, Leila, and I can take the floor" Phoebe said.
"Leo can take the sofa when he comes back" Piper said. "Dad can take one of the chairs"
"The sofa pulls out" Victor said. "You and Leo can take it. Prue and Andy can take the bed. Paige you can take the other chair"
"Ava and Andrea can sleep in the bed too" Andy said. "Where can we put Aidan and Patience?"
"Drawers" Piper said. "Prue used it once when she snuck the twins into Bucklands"
"Good idea" Phoebe said.
Victor went into the bedroom where Prue was sound asleep. He took two drawers out of his dresser and emptied them out. Then he grabbed some blankets. He brought them out to the living room.
"Okay if a demon pops in" Phoebe said. "Wake everyone up except the babies and Prue. Have Ava and Andrea put up shields over anyone who doesn't have a power"
"Okay" Piper said.
They got the blankets laid out and everyone settled in. Soon everyone was asleep.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The next morning.
"Prue?" Andy asked waking up.
He saw Prue and the kids were gone. He sat up. He saw Prue looking out the window in the bedroom with Andrea and Ava. She was holding Aidan.
"See the pretty sun rising" Prue said to Andrea and Ava.
"How are you feeling?" Andy asked.
"Surprisingly better" Prue said. "My throat only hurts a little and I can talk"
Andy walked over to her and felt her forehead.
"Your fever's gone" Andy said.
"I guess it was a twenty four hour thing" Prue said. "We should go check on the family"
Prue handed Aidan to Andy.
"You haven't held him in a while" Prue said. "Who wants a piggy back ride?"
"Me" Ava said.
Prue let Ava climb on her back and picked up Andrea.
"You girls are getting to heavy for this" Prue said.
They went into the living room. Everyone was still asleep.
"This could be good that everyone's still asleep" Andy said.
Prue set Andrea and Ava down. Andy started kissing Prue's neck. Prue laughed.
"Someone might wake up to this" Prue said. "And the kids are right here"
"So" Andy said.
Andy set Aidan down and they started kissing.
"You really want a fourth child?" Phoebe asked waking up.
Prue and Andy stopped. Their cheeks turned red.
"We thought everyone was sleeping" Prue said.
"I was" Phoebe said. "But someone woke me up with their romancing"
"Sorry" Andy said.
"Don't be, you guys are finally getting along" Phoebe said. "I take it Prue's feeling better"
"Yes I am" Prue said. "Much better"
"Good" Phoebe said.
Andy wrapped his arms around Prue.
"I think Phoebe might want to explain the plan to you so you don't freak out when I come along" Andy said.
"What? No you can't come Andy" Prue said.
"Prue he has to" Phoebe said. "We're using our love for our soulmates in the spell to vanquish Cole"
"That's easy for you to do. Piper and your soulmate can protect themselves. Mine already died saving me, I won't risk it again" Prue said.
"You can use your shield to protect me" Andy said.
"What if that doesn't work?" Prue asked.
"Then Leo or Ryan can orb me out" Andy said.
Prue sighed.
"Fine" Prue said. "But promise me you won't get hurt"
"I promise" Andy said.
He kissed Prue.
"Okay, you're grossing me out" Phoebe said.
"Oh, close your eyes" Prue said smiling.
"Could you guys get any louder" Piper said waking up.
"Yes" Phoebe said. "Mr. and Mrs. I can't take my hands off each other, were kissing again"
Prue playfully hit Phoebe. Piper got up and picked up Patience.
"Hey Princess Patti" Piper said to Patience.
Patience smiled.
"I think Mom would like that you call her Patti" Prue said.
"I hope so" Piper said.
"She would love it" Victor said.
He sat up.
"I see you all got your mother's love for waking up early" Victor said.
"Not Phoebe" Prue said.
"Yeah, the two lovebirds woke me up" Phoebe said.
"I don't think I want to hear about this" Victor said.
"I didn't want to see it" Phoebe said.
"Phoebe" Prue said. "It's not what it sounds like"
Leo, Ryan, and Paige woke up.
"I see everyone else is up already" Leo said.
"Except Leila" Ryan said stepping over her.
"So who's ready to kick demon butt" Phoebe said.
"The only thing that's making me want to do this is the fact that I won't have to deal with visits from Cole anymore" Piper said.
"So what is the plan?" Prue said.
They explained it to her.
"Sound good" Prue said. "What did the Elders think?"
"Apparently they thought it was worth a shot because they agreed to it" Leo said.
"Then we better get started" Prue said. "We should summon Mom and Grams right now and get Victor, Aidan, and Patience to safety"
"Dad, can you and the babies go to a Darryl and Sheila's house when it's time? Do you remember them from the wedding?"
"Yeah" Victor said.
"Okay let's summon Mom and Grams" Phoebe said. "First I'll wake up Leila"
They set everything up and summoned them.
"Prudence you lied to me" Grams said appearing.
"It was like ten years ago get over it" Prue said.
"Gramma!" Andrea and Ava shouted.
"Hi girls" Patty said.
"You still lied to me" Grams said.
Prue put Aidan into her arms.
"Take the child and be quiet" Prue said.
Penny handed Aidan to Andy and picked up Patience. Prue looked at Andy. He shrugged his shoulders.
"It's good to see you again Paige" Patty said.
"You just saw me yesterday" Paige said.
"Well it is good to see you" Patty said. "And hi my beautiful girls"
Patty stepped out of the circle and hugged all of her daughters.
"Uh oh" Prue said. "Andy the girls need a diaper change. You take Andrea, I'll take Ava"
"I'm going to check Patience too" Piper said.
She took Patience from Grams. Patty had started talking to Leila and so had Phoebe and Ryan.
"Do you want to take Aidan?" Andy asked.
"Why don't you give him to Leo?" Penny asked.
"I thought you might want to hold your other great grandchild. You do have more than one" Andy said.
"I know but he's a…" Penny said.
"He's a what, Grams?" Prue asked.
"Well he's a boy" Grams said.
"Mother!" Patty said. "You know that doesn't make a difference"
"Yes it does, you see how long it took him to figure out his powers, the girls and Patience had figured them out in the womb" Penny said.
"You won't hold my son, your great grandson, because he's a boy" Prue said fuming. "Well I got news for you; you won't be holding Ava or Andrea either"
"Prue it's not like that, it's just men aren't trustworthy" Penny said.
"Excuse me?" Prue said.
She pointed to Andy, then Leo, then Ryan.
"Men are the ones constantly saving us" Prue said. "You never showed any dislike to Andy"
"Andy wasn't a Halliwell" Penny said.
"He is now" Prue said. "And so is Aidan, if you have a problem with it deal with it and leave my son out of it"
Prue took Aidan out of Andy's arms and stormed off mad. Andy picked the girls up and followed her.
Penny started to speak.
"Don't even think any of us support you on this" Piper said.
"I hope Andy can get Prue to settle down, or else this vanquish is not going to work" Phoebe said.
"If they're not out in ten minutes, you are going to go apologize to Prue and Andy" Patty said. "Actually, either way you're apologizing"
"I'm sorry Patty, but I won't" Penny said. "Men were not meant to be witches, that's why they entire Warren line has been women"
"Things change, Mom" Patty said. "If you honestly can't accept the fact that Prue had a son then I don't blame her for banning you from holding Andrea and Ava. Not to mention you insult Andy in the process"
"We have a demon to vanquish" Penny said.
"Well thanks to you we're one Charmed One short" Piper said.
"We can start on the spells and potion" Phoebe said.
They got to work.
"I can't believe her" Prue said. "Coming here and insulting my son and husband. She's his great grandma for god's sake. Most women never even meet their great grandchildren. And you are the sweetest man I've ever met and she calls you untrustworthy"
Prue ranted and raved for a few more minutes.
"You done?" Andy asked.
"Yeah" Prue said. "But I'm still mad"
"So am I" Andy said. "But insulting your Grams isn't going to make anything better. If she isn't going to love him it doesn't matter. He has two grandmothers who love him and the rest of the family too"
"You're right" Prue said. "Now let's change these kids and go vanquish a demon"
They changed Ava and Andrea and headed back out to the living room. Prue held Aidan close to her.
"Let's go kick some demon butt" Prue said.
"Okay the spell is finished and so is the potion but I'm thinking we should make Cole come here" Phoebe said.
"Good idea" Prue said. "There's too many of his demons at the manor"
"The question is how do we get him to come to us?" Ryan asked.
"You've come to the right girl" Prue said. "I'll taunt him with astral projecting; eventually his temper will lead him here"
"What if he sends demons?" Leo asked.
"Well then you better be prepared" Prue said.
She turned to Victor.
"Victor, protect my son or I'll kill you. You may have not been the world's best dad but I know you're trying to make up for it as a grandpa and I'm not going to get in the way of that" Prue said.
Prue took a deep breath.
"This is going to be hard" Prue said.
"We love you Aidan" Andy said. "I know you won't remember this but hopefully someone will tell you about it"
"We love you baby" Prue said. "And always will"
Prue and Andy kissed Aidan's forehead.
"Everybody listen up. If Andy and I don't come back whoever is raising my children better do a damn good job or we will haunt you" Prue said. "When we start fighting the demons everyone understand that getting the girls home safe is mine and Andy's number one priority. If that involves not coming home ourselves then that's a sacrifice we're willingly to make"
She held Aidan close.
"I don't want this to be the last time I see him" Prue said starting to cry.
Andy pulled her and the baby close. After a few minutes Prue wiped her eyes and turned around.
"Now it's my turn to cry" Piper said half joking.
"All of you in this room are going to be responsible for this child if I don't come back" Piper said. "You will raise her and love her and protect her. Those of you who in the past may have screwed up parentally that was the past, this is the present. Saying good bye to your children is probably the hardest thing in the world because you never truly can say good bye. I need all of you to show her who her mother was and make sure that she knows I never wanted to leave her"
She wiped tears from her eyes.
"My whole life is in this child" Piper said with tears rolling down her cheeks. "Good bye baby, I love you"
Everyone in the room had tears in their eyes. Piper kissed Patience's forehead and handed her to Leo. Prue handed Aidan to Victor.
Leo orbed Victor out. Piper hugged Prue.
"You guys are going to return to your children" Phoebe said. "I'm promising that"
"Yeah, you have three people protecting you who can't die" Paige said.
Patty hugged Prue and Piper.
"We promise you we will make sure you return to your children" Patty said.
"Okay" Prue said. "We should get to work"
"Yeah, we need to summon the good magical community" Piper said.
"Ryan go check and see if the Elders are ready" Phoebe said.
Leo orbed back in.
"Let's start the spell for summoning the good magical community" Prue said.
Phoebe said the spell. All of the good magical beings came into the room. Soon the room was filled. Ryan orbed back in.
"I'm assuming you all know what you're here for!" Phoebe shouted so everyone could here her.
"Yes!" the crowd shouted.
Prue crouched in front of Ava and Andrea.
"Okay, girls, you have to make Mommy a promise. If the demons get too much for you to handle get out of here and go to Sheila's" Prue said. "Promise me you'll do this"
The girls nodded their heads.
'Thank you" Prue said. "I love you girls"
She stood up.
"Okay" Prue said. "Time to go lure a demon"
