I finally got a chance to update and since I'm not sure when I'll be able to do it again I gave you two chapters. Yea! Thank you for all who are reviewing and please keep them coming.
Six months later. The rooms are finished in the basement and Phoebe and Leila are moved in. The adoption has just been finalized and the family is celebrating. Phoebe and Ryan are very close. Leila is now fourteen and is finishing up eighth grade. Andy and Prue have stopped fighting so much. There haven't been any demon attacks since Cole was vanquished. Soon after they vanquished Cole Paige had to leave. Piper and Phoebe accepted that she was their sister and hope to get closer to her. I know I've skipped a lot but this is the last time I skip a lot of months.
"No!" Prue yelled.
It was too late, Aidan had bumped into the end table and the vase fell and broke.
"This is not fair, why do I get the rebellious children?" Prue asked. "Patience is sweet and innocent"
Piper laughed.
"Did you just say my child was sweet and innocent?" Piper said. "Wow, I want to live in your world"
"You know that pop up storm we had yesterday" Prue said. "Coincidently that popped up at the exact same time Ava and Andrea were throwing a temper tantrum"
Phoebe and Piper laughed.
"Or try sending them to bed early to come up and find that they have gotten out of their cribs and destroyed everything in your room" Prue said.
"It's called the terrible twos for a reason" Phoebe said. "Luckily they'll be over in three months"
"Poor Andy tried to be firm with them and they made it rain on his head" Prue said. "They steal Aidan's toys and send him places"
"And you've tried the being firm thing?" Phoebe asked.
"Yes they just start making it rain on you or something like that" Prue said. "And then Aidan made all of the stuffed animals in his crib come to life again so I took them out of his crib and he wouldn't stop crying. I beginning to wonder if I was cut out for this mother thing"
"Prue you are a great mom" Phoebe said. "I can guarantee if you go talk to another mother with children the same ages as yours you will find that she is having the same problem. Now I have to go to work because I have an early meeting. Tell Leila I'm sorry that I had to go in early and that I left lunch money on the counter for her and her homework I put in her back pack. Don't forget about party we are having for the adoption tomorrow"
"We will tell Leila and we won't forget about the party" Piper said.
The phone rang.
"And I will get the phone" Piper added.
She went to answer the phone.
"Good bye, super mom" Phoebe said.
"Very funny" Prue said. "Bye"
Phoebe left.
"What do you mean you haven't called someone to fix it?" Piper asked. "It broke two days ago, we need it for tonight. I know Tom quit but it isn't even his job to call that in it's yours. Fine you know what, I'll do it. I'm coming in"
She hung up the phone.
"Go" Prue said. "I can handle the kids"
"I…"
Prue cut her off.
"I know you feel bad and you'll repay me" Prue said. "Now leave"
"Fine" Piper said.
She walked over to Patience.
"Mommy will be back soon" Piper said.
She walked to the door.
"You sure you can manage all five Halliwell children?" Piper asked.
"Positive" Prue said. "Good bye"
"Bye" Piper said.
She left. Prue went to the bottom of the stairs.
"Leila, hurry up or you'll miss the bus!" Prue yelled.
"I'm coming!" Leila yelled back.
Prue went back into the living room. Leila came downstairs.
"Where is everyone?" Leila asked.
"Work" Prue said. "Lunch money is on the counter and homework is in backpack. Breakfast is at the table"
"Thanks" Leila said.
Prue picked up Patience who was currently in danger of being fallen on by Aidan's latest attempt to walk.
"Hey sweetie" Prue said to Patience. "You were about to be crushed like a bug"
"So everyone got called in early today?" Leila asked from the dining room.
"Yeah, your mom says she's sorry" Prue said.
"That's okay" Leila said.
Prue rocked Patience back and forth as she started to cry. Then Aidan fell and started to cry.
"Its okay, Aidan" Prue said.
Ava walked over and put his pacifier in his mouth.
"Thank you Ava" Prue said.
She continued rocking Patience back and forth. She looked at her watch.
"You better get to the bus because I don't have enough car seats to be able to drive you there" Prue said.
"Okay" Leila said. "Bye, Aunt Prue"
"You have lunch money and homework?" Prue asked.
"I have lunch money and homework" Leila said.
"Okay bye" Prue said.
Leila went to the bus stop.
"Now it's just me and you girls and guy" Prue said.
She set Patience on the ground.
"Okay, I'm desperate" Prue said.
She flipped on the TV.
"Aidan, don't bring anything to life off of this" Prue said.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"This club is a mess" Piper said. "I took two days off and I come back to a dump. What have you been doing while I've been gone?"
"Well…I…um" the man stuttered.
"Never mind" Piper said. "I finally got a band booked for tonight. Now I just need to find a repair person to fix the sink which we need for tonight which was supposed to be fixed two days ago"
"I'm still getting tonight off, right?" the man asked.
"Fine, go home, I'll do this myself" Piper said.
She sighed.
"I should call Prue" Piper said.
She called Prue.
"Hello?" Prue said answering the phone.
"Hi it's Piper. I was just calling to check up on you" Piper said. "The clubs empty if you want to bring the kids by"
"I think I'll consider that" Prue said. "Ow"
"What?" Piper asked.
"Your precious daughter and my precious son are teaming up on me" Prue said. "She's pulling the cord of the phone and my son's pulling my hair"
"Why don't you bring them over here?" Piper said.
"One problem, you have Patience's car seat" Prue said.
"You have the girls' old ones" Piper said.
"Yes, I do" Prue said. "I'll be there soon"
Piper hung up the phone.
"Help me" a voice said.
Piper jumped.
"Who are you?" Piper asked.
"Please help me" the voice said.
"Same question, who are you?" Piper asked.
"You don't have much time" the voice said.
"Well I could help if I knew who you were" Piper said.
There was silence.
"Hello?" Piper said. "That was creepy"
"What was creepy?" Leo asked.
Piper jumped.
"God, Leo you scared me" Piper said
"Sorry" Leo said. "What was so creepy?"
"I just heard a voice" Piper said. "It was asking me to help them and telling me I don't have much time"
"They didn't tell you what was wrong or who they were?" Leo asked.
"No, I asked but they didn't respond" Piper said.
"If they come back tell me and I'll check with the Elders" Leo said.
"But what if they are in serious trouble?" Piper asked. "They asked for my help and I can't ignore them"
"You don't know who they are" Leo said. "You can't really help them until you do"
"Lady with two double strollers attempting to open door and come downstairs!" Prue yelled down to Piper.
"Other lady's husband coming to help" Piper yelled back.
Leo went up the stairs and helped Prue.
"I have a headache" Prue said. "Getting three kids in a car is hard enough but having an extra one is impossible. Not to mention the fact that I had to install one of my old car seats to fit all of the children. I have a daycare center in my car"
"Sorry for leaving you with Patience" Piper said. "But my club was falling apart"
"That's okay, my kids would have been just of bad without Patience" Prue said. "Although Ava put a pacifier in Aidan's mouth this morning when he was crying. It was really sweet"
"See, they're not as horrible as you think they are" Piper said.
She picked up Patience.
"Have you been a good little girl" Piper said.
Prue picked up the girls and set them out of their stroller. Then she picked up Aidan. He was sleeping and had his head resting on Prue's shoulder. She took off the girls' coats.
"He's actually sleeping" Prue said. "This is a change"
"Look at how adorable he is" Piper said. "That should make up for him being a troublemaker"
"He's not really a troublemaker, he's just a little too curious" Prue said. "He's actually kind of quiet"
"Sounds like Andy" Piper said.
"Well he's not going to be a cop" Prue said. "I've hardly seen Andy in three days"
"It's San Francisco, someone's murdered every night" Piper said.
"That's why I'm worried" Prue said.
"Piper do you want to tell her…"
Piper cut Leo off.
"About the party for Leila and Phoebe for the adoption. Phoebe already told her this morning" Piper said.
"Yeah, we're having it at the manor, right?" Prue asked.
"As far as I know" Piper said.
Andrea tugged on Leo's leg.
"Uncle Weo" Andrea said. "Up!"
Leo picked her up.
"Sorry, she wants to be picked up all the time now" Prue said. "I think she misses Andy"
"That's okay" Leo said.
"Mommy, I hungry" Ava said.
Prue reached in her diaper bag and grabbed a bag of graham crackers. She handed it to Ava.
"Piper Halliwell?" a woman asked coming into the club.
"Yes" Piper said.
"Lacy Lorcen" Emily said. "Tenth grade, fifth hour math"
"Lacy" Piper said. "How are you?"
"I'm fine" Lacy said. "And you"
"Great" Piper said. "I thought you moved to Florida after graduation"
"I just moved back" Lacy said. "I heard you opened up this club and I had to come see you. I hope you don't mind I came before it was open"
"No not at all" Piper said. "You remember one of my sisters, Prue"
"Of course" Lacy said. "It's nice to see you again"
"You too" Prue said.
"And this is my husband, Leo and my daughter, Patience" Piper said. "The one Leo's holding is my niece, Andrea and over there is her twins sister, Ava"
"They're yours Prue?" Lacey asked.
"Yes" Prue said. "And this sleepy guy is their brother, Aidan"
"Are you married?" Lacy asked Prue.
"Yeah, to Andy Trudeau, you remember him"
"You guys are still together, I thought he broke up with you and moved away and got married?" Lacy asked.
"He's divorced and he moved back"
"What about you, Lacy, you married?" Piper asked.
"Happily, for two years now" Lacy said.
"No kids?" Piper asked.
Lacy laughed.
"My husband and I aren't kid people" Lacy said.
"Uncle Weo down" Andrea said.
Leo set Andrea down. She ran over to Prue and hugged her leg. Ava ran to Andrea.
"Mommy, demon" Ava said.
Prue put her hand over Ava's mouth.
"What did she just say?" Lacy asked.
"Um, she likes to just babble sometimes" Prue said. "You now what Piper, I'm going to go put their coats in the back room"
"Okay" Piper said.
Prue went into the back room with the girls.
"Why did you just say demon, Ava?" Prue asked. "There isn't a demon in the room"
"Lady demon" Andrea said.
"Who, the lady talking to Aunt Piper and me?" Prue asked.
They nodded their heads.
"She's not a demon" Prue said.
Ava looked at Andrea.
"Wait, did you read her mind?" Prue asked. "What was she thinking?"
"She want hurt you" Andrea said.
Prue thought for a second. She went back out to where everyone was.
"Where's Lacy?" Prue asked.
"She had to leave" Piper said.
"Okay, my daughter's seem to think she's a demon" Prue said. "They read her mind and supposedly she wants to kill me"
"Do you think they're right?" Piper asked.
"I have no idea" Prue said. "I mean they've heard enough things that there's a possibility they might know if they're a demon"
"True, but they aren't even three yet" Piper said.
"Still, she suddenly comes back and decides to pay you a visit?" Prue said. "She was horrible to us"
"Maybe she changed" Piper said.
Prue gave her a yeah right look.
"Okay, maybe not" Piper said. "Maybe it isn't really Lacy"
"I don't know but if she is a demon then we have to vanquish her before she gets the chance to kill" Prue said.
"What about the voice you heard?" Leo asked.
"What voice?" Prue asked.
"I heard someone telling me to help them and that I don't have much time about a half an hour ago" Piper said.
"Was it a woman's voice?" Prue asked.
Piper thought for a second.
"Yes, but it didn't sound like Lacy if that's what you're thinking" Piper said.
"Well if it was a woman's then we'd know we're looking for a woman" Prue said.
"Good point" Piper said. "I think we need to go back to the manor"
"Don't you have to work?" Prue asked.
"I can make the calls from the manor, let me just get the evening manager in for this afternoon and evening. She's the only one who knows what she's doing" Piper said.
"Okay, I'll get the kids ready, again" Prue said.
"I'll help" Leo said.
They got the kids in the cars.
"I'll go with Piper and Patience" Leo said.
"Okay, I'll meet you at the manor" Prue said.
She drove off.
