Everyone thank you for the reviews and please keep them coming. For all of you who didn't review please do.
The next morning.
"Okay, there are two presents for you from me" Andy said. "One for this year and one for last year"
"Andy, you didn't have to make up for missing that birthday, if I remember correctly, I told everyone to forget it was my birthday" Prue said.
"Are you saying you don't want this present?' Andy said smiling.
He held up a small package.
"I said you didn't have to make up for last year, not you can't" Prue said with a big smile.
"Well if I didn't have to" Andy said.
"Give me" Prue said trying to grab the present.
Andy handed it to her. She unwrapped it. Prue gasped.
"You found it" Prue said with tears in her eyes.
"And made adjustments so it can fit you" Andy said.
In the box was a silver charm bracelet. It had Prue's name on it and a charm of a camera. Then it had a triquetra charm, then Prue's birthstone, then a heart charm that said daughter on it.
"Where did you find this, I lost it eighteen years ago" Prue said.
"I did some searching and asking some people and found it" Andy said. "If also look in the box there's four more charms you can add on. Two of them are Andrea and Ava's birthstone, one is Aidan's, and then there's a charm that has two wedding rings interlocking"
When Patty was alive she had bought each daughter a charm bracelet with their name. All three of them had the charm that had a heart that said daughter on it and a triquetra charm. Then Patty had a charm bracelet that had a matching heart charm that said mother. Throughout the years Patty added on charms for their birthday or just for a surprise. After she died the girls treasured the charm bracelets but when Prue was eleven she lost hers.
"Thank you so much" Prue said hugging Andy.
"Shall I put it on?" Andy asked.
"Of course" Prue said.
Andy added the four charms and then put the charm bracelet on Prue's wrist.
"Beautiful" Andy said. "The bracelet and you"
Prue gave him a kiss.
"Now I have a feeling there are some people downstairs waiting to give you their presents" Andy said.
"Well then, we shouldn't keep them waiting" Prue said smiling.
They went downstairs to the kitchen.
"Good morning birthday girl" Phoebe said.
"Good morning" Prue said.
"I made your favorite for breakfast" Piper said.
"Thank you" Prue said. "You guys have to see what Andy found"
Prue held out her arm to show the bracelet.
"He found it" Phoebe said. "That's great"
"Happy birthday Mommy!" Ava yelled.
"Happy birthday" Andrea said.
"Thank you sweeties" Prue said.
"They colored two pictures for you" Piper said.
She showed Prue two pictures with scribbles on them.
"I asked them what they were drawing" Piper said.
She pointed to one of the scribbles.
"This is Andy, you, and Aidan" Piper said.
She pointed to two other scribbles.
"Themselves" Piper said. "And the last scribble is the rest of the family"
"Thank you girls so much for drawing me those pictures" Prue said.
Aidan looked at Andy and let out a huge smile.
"I think someone wants his daddy to pick him up" Prue said.
"Hey my little man" Andy said picking Aidan up.
"If anyone has another girl I am going to feel so sorry for that child" Phoebe said.
"Okay, changing subject" Ryan said. "Phoebe, I have to go, don't forget about tomorrow"
"I will" Phoebe said. "Bye"
They kissed and Ryan orbed away.
"What's tomorrow?" Piper asked.
"Ryan wants to have a date tomorrow" Phoebe said.
"Oh" Piper said.
"Hey, instead of going out tonight with just Andy and I" Prue said. "We just want to stay home and enjoy the kids"
"Okay so you don't need our babysitting services" Piper said.
"Not tonight" Prue said.
"I'm done" Leila said. "And I'm going to my room"
"Leila" Phoebe said. "I am sick of your attitude this morning"
"Then don't listen to me" Leila said. "You lied to me Phoebe"
"Your mother wanted me to not tell you until after I had got them. Besides, I'm not the only one who lied, you told me you'd be home at ten. Prue and Piper saw you walk in the door at 11:45"
"I hate you" Leila said.
She ran to her room and slammed the door. Phoebe sighed.
"You told her?" Prue asked.
"I had to; she asked where I had been and what demon I was vanquishing. Then she asked me why Mom and Paige her at the manor" Phoebe said.
"What did you do about her getting in late?" Piper asked.
"She can't go out with friends for a week and if it ever happens again she's grounded for two months" Phoebe said.
"Are you okay?" Prue asked. "It isn't easy hearing your kids saying I hate you"
"Yeah, I'm fine" Phoebe said. "I think it hurts a little more that she's stopped calling me Mom"
"She'll get over it" Prue said. "You always did"
"Yeah if I had a nickel for every time you told Prue what Leila just told you, I'd be a very rich woman" Piper said.
"Mommy, I got to potty" Ava said.
"I'll be back" Prue said.
She picked up Ava and took her to the bathroom.
"How's potty training going?" Phoebe asked.
"I think it's harder for Prue than anyone else" Andy said. "The girls refuse to let me help them, it has to be Prue"
"Well just wait until Aidan" Piper said. "Then it will be you going with him"
"I know" Andy said. "Which is why I'm glad that's not for another year and a half"
Andrea used her powers to get out of her booster seat. Andy stuck his arm out to stop her from leaving the kitchen.
"Wait" Andy said.
He started tickling Andrea. She started laughing.
"Daddy, can I play?" Andrea asked.
"Let me come with you" Andy said.
"I'll clean up" Phoebe said. "You guys go play with the kids"
"I can help" Piper said.
"No, go" Phoebe said.
"Fine" Piper said. "Come on Leo"
Leo picked up Patience. Piper and Leo walked into the conservatory where Andy was playing with Aidan and Andrea.
"I gotta potty" Andrea said.
Andy sighed.
"Watch Aidan please" Andy said.
He took Andrea's hand.
"No, Mommy!" Andrea yelled.
Prue and Ava came into the room.
"Take Ava, I'll take her" Prue said.
Prue took Andrea's hand and took her to the bathroom.
"And it was supposed to be her day off" Andy said.
Ava ran to Patience and Aidan.
"Play" Ava said.
Patience stood up.
"Patti, come to mommy" Piper said. "Come to mommy, come on"
Patience took a step and then another.
"Come on Patti" Leo said.
Patience took a few steps.
"She's walking" Piper said. "And she's only eleven months old"
"She's a smart girl" Leo said.
Patience took a few more steps and sat down.
"Good job Patti" Piper said. "You're such a smart girl, yes you are"
Piper picked Patience up.
"She takes after her mother" Leo said. "Don't you Patti"
"Phoebe, Patti walked" Piper said.
Phoebe came into the conservatory.
"I'm gone for ten minutes and she walks without me" Phoebe said. "She's a smart girl"
"Aidan smart too" Ava said.
"Yes Aidan is" Andy said.
"He tries walk" Ava said.
"Yes he does" Andy said. "Ava, are you using your telepathy?"
"No" Ava said innocently.
Prue came back into the room with Andrea.
"Why couldn't they be boys" Prue said. "Then it would be your job"
"Patti just walked for the first time" Piper said.
"Good for her" Prue said.
"Ava was sticking up for Aidan a few minutes ago" Phoebe said. "It was cute"
"You get to sit down now" Andy said. "It was supposed to be a nice relaxing day"
"And it still can be" Prue said. "I think we should take the kids to the park. It would be fun and we never take them there"
"Are you sure you want to?" Andy asked. "Because you don't have to, we can do it tomorrow"
"I'm sure" Prue said. "I'll go get the girls' stroller, you get Aidan's. Anyone else want to come?"
"Nah" Piper said. "We'll stay here"
"Okay" Prue said.
Prue went to get the stuff.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
A couple hours later.
"I feel normal" Prue said smiling while pushing Andrea on the swing.
"This is a good thing, right?" Andy asked while pushing Ava and Aidan.
"A very good thing" Prue said. "This is one of the best birthday's I've ever had"
"There were birthday's better than this" Andy said.
"Have you forgotten my sweet sixteen?" Prue asked smiling.
"I could never forget your sweet sixteen" Andy said.
"I don't think we ever would have guessed we'd end up here now" Prue said. "Married with three kids"
"Not to mention that certain other thing" Andy said.
"That too" Prue said. "Andy, why did leave me after high school?"
"I didn't want to, believe me" Andy said. "Breaking your heart broke mine but I had a family that all went to that college and were going to make sure I did too"
"Why was it family was the thing that kept us apart and now it's one of the things that keeps us together" Prue said.
Andy chuckled.
"Irony" Andy said.
"Andy, do you want another baby?" Prue asked.
"I don't know" Andy said. "I want one but I don't think we'd be able to fit anymore kids in the manor. We know Piper and Leo are going to have one or two more kids and Phoebe is eventually going to want a kid. I mean the next kid can share a room but after that"
"What about adding on to the manor?" Prue asked. "I mean we've never really discussed it in detail. I know financially it wouldn't work but we could pull it off maybe"
"You really want a fourth kid don't you" Andy said.
"Yes, I think I do" Prue said. "But not until later, I want to enjoy Aidan while he's innocent"
"Mommy, I want slide" Andrea said.
"Me too" Ava said.
Prue and Andy stopped the swings. Prue picked up Aidan and carried him on her hip. Andy set Andrea and Ava on the ground. Andy helped the girls up the slide.
"This is what we wanted Andy" Prue said. "But I feel that maybe a fourth child would make it complete"
"Okay" Andy said. "I'm with you all the way"
"How did I get so lucky to marry you?" Prue asked.
"Your past life must have been an angel" Andy said.
Prue smiled at him.
This is the happiest I've ever been, Prue thought. Something's going to go wrong, it always does.
Prue snapped out of her daydream when she heard Andrea start to cry. Andy and Prue ran over to where Andrea was. A boy a little older than her was standing in front of her. She was on the ground.
"Mommy, he pushed me" Andrea said crying.
Andy picked Andrea up.
"Excuse me but what's going on here" A lady asked coming up beside the boy.
"Your son pushed my daughter, that's what's going on here" Prue said.
"Maybe your daughter did something to my son first" the lady said.
"She's not even three years old, I highly doubt she could do something to make your son push her" Prue said starting to get angry.
"Maybe it's her upbringing" the lady said angrily.
"Excuse me" Prue said. "My child isn't the one who shoved a two year old to the ground"
Ava stared at the boy.
Uh oh, Prue though, she's going to use her power.
Prue stepped in front of Ava blocking her vision.
"I think your son owes my daughter an apology" Prue said.
"I don't think so" the lady said. "Come on, Christopher, we're leaving"
The lady and her son started walking away. The boy looked back and stuck his tongue out at them. Prue glared at the kid. His eyes flashed red.
"Crap" Prue said. "Demons don't believe in birthdays apparently"
"Should we go after him?" Andy asked.
"Follow him" Prue said.
They put the kids in their stroller and followed the demon child. They stopped at an alley.
"Okay I'm not risking taking them down there" Prue whispered. "Stay here with the strollers and if I'm not back in five minutes call for Leo"
"Okay" Andy said.
Prue went into the alley. There was a circle of demons.
"I don't think this plan will work master" the woman from the park said.
"Distracting them with their own demons will stretch their relationships with each other to the limit and make them defenseless" a demon, who Prue suspected was the head demon, said.
"These aren't stupid witches, one of the telekinetic's children already spotted my son and knows he's a demon" the woman said.
"Maybe if your child wasn't so quick to act like a demon she wouldn't have caught him" the head demon said.
All of the sudden a bright light flashed in Prue's eyes leaving her unable to see.
"Did you really think we'd let you go tell your sisters about our plan" the head demon said. "And you can't exactly use your powers if you're blind. Now we just need to send someone in to replace you. Kara, think you're up for the job?"
"Definitely" A woman's voice replied.
"We just have to fix one thing" the head demon said.
Suddenly Prue felt a child in her arms.
"We couldn't risk your children exposing Kara" the demon said. "And don't think about using their powers to get out of here, it won't work"
"My sisters will come looking for me" Prue said.
"Not if they don't know you and your children are gone" the demon said laughing.
Prue heard footsteps walking off.
"You won't get away with this" Prue said.
"Watch me" the demon said. "Oh that's right, you're blind"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Did you find anything out?" Andy asked the fake Prue as she walked out of the alley.
"Easy vanquish" Fake Prue said. "I just made up a spell and they exploded.
"We should get back to the manor" Andy said.
They walked back to the park to get the car and went back to the manor.
"We're home" Prue said entering the manor.
"Surprise!" Everyone yelled.
"I love surprise birthday parties" fake Prue said.
Andy looked at her for a minute.
No she doesn't, Andy thought. I think something is wrong here. Maybe I'm just overreacting, but something doesn't feel right.
"So, did we get you this time?" Piper asked.
"Yes" Kara said. "You got me"
The shapeshifter looked around.
"And soon I'm going to get you" she added underneath her breath.
