I am so sorry for taking so long to update. With school and writer's block I haven't been able to. I can't promise that I'll update sooner because I'll probably be busy but I can promise you that I'll try. Maybe the more reviews I get will influence that, I don't know.

Chapter 5: New Lives

3 MONTHS LATER (PRUE AND ANDY'S PLACE)

"Look at this" Prue said looking at her stomach. "I'm fat"

"You are not fat" Andy said laughing.

"Oh, that's believable" Prue said smiling.

She tackled him.

"Careful" Andy said.

"I'm being careful" Prue said. "Just be glad I figured out how to make you whole. It saves me from having to explain why I'm talking to myself"

Andy laughed and started tickling Prue.

"And it lets me tickle you" Andy said.

Prue laughed.

"I have to go to work" Prue said. "This place doesn't pay for its self"

"I still can't believe you're working at a diner as a waitress" Andy said.

"Just until I can get something better" Prue said.

Prue got up and started towards the door. She caught a glance of the picture of her and her sisters.

"I miss them" Prue said.

"I know" Andy said. "One day we're going to not have to hide"

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

AT THE MANOR

Piper sat in the kitchen. It was five in the morning and she couldn't sleep.

"God Prue, I miss you so much" Piper said quietly.

So much had gone wrong after Prue left. The Elders went in an uproar when they found Prue and Andy gone. After realizing that Phoebe, Piper, and Leo didn't know anything they finally stopped bugging them. Demons weren't always easy vanquishes now that Prue was gone. But the thing Piper missed most was not having her sister. She put her head on the table and cried.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Prue you have table three" a woman said.

"But I have table one" Prue said.

"I'll take table one, you take table three" the woman said smiling.

Prue went over to the table and saw Andy sitting there.

"So this is why Alice told me to take this table" Prue said smiling.

"Well, I couldn't stand to be without you" Andy said.

"Andy, I've only been gone for an hour" Prue said.

"And that's an hour too long" Andy said.

Prue laughed.

"So, do you want anything?" Prue asked.

"How about some pancakes" Andy said.

Prue wrote it down.

"I'll be back in a second" Prue said.

Prue walked off and gave the order to the cook. She went over to the pay phone in the hallway. She hesitated for a second before putting change into it. She dialed the number.

"Hi, we're not home right now, leave a message and we'll get back to you" Phoebe's voice said on the other end of the line.

Prue sighed and hung up the phone. She brought Andy's pancakes to him.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Andy asked.

"Nothing" Prue said. "Just tired"

"Sit down" Andy said.

"I can't, I'm working" Prue said.

"How about we go baby shopping after you're done with work" Andy said.

"I don't know" Prue said.

"We don't have to go" Andy said. "I'll do whatever you want"

"I think I just want to stay home" Prue said.

"That's fine" Andy said. "I can get Chinese food"

"Yuck" Prue said.

"You love Chinese food" Andy said.

"The baby doesn't" Prue said.

"Okay, I'll make something" Andy said. "What do you want?"

"How about I bring stuff home from here" Prue said.

"You're craving the apple pie again?" Andy asked smiling.

"Just a little" Prue said.

Andy put his hand on Prue's stomach.

"You're going to have one heck of a sweet tooth when you come out" Andy said.

"You know what I'm really craving" Prue said.

"What?" Andy asked.

"One of Piper's decadent chocolate cakes" Prue said.

Prue sighed.

"Well, I should get back to work" Prue said.

"Okay" Andy said softly.

He watched Prue as she walked away, wishing she could see her sisters again.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

THAT EVENING

"I'll be back in a fifteen minutes" Andy said. "Try to keep off your feet"

"I will" Prue said.

Andy walked out the door and Prue grabbed the phone. This time she dialed Piper's cell phone.

"Hello" Piper said.

Prue paused for a second.

"Hello?" Piper asked.

"Piper…it's me" Prue said.

"Oh my god" Piper said. "I've missed you so much"

"I've missed you too, and Phoebe" Prue said.

"I don't suppose there's any chance you're coming home soon" Piper said.

"I'm sorry" Prue said. "I wish I could. How is everything?"

"It's okay" Piper said. "We miss you but everything else is fine. How's everything with you?"

"Good" Prue said. "I wish I were there though"

It was quiet.

"Piper…there's something I should've told you a while ago" Prue said.

"What?" Piper asked concerned.

"Piper, I'm six months pregnant" Prue said. "That's mostly the reason I had to leave. I couldn't risk them finding out"

Piper was quiet.

"Piper?" Prue asked. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine" Piper said. "Just surprised…congratulations"

"Thanks" Prue said. "I should go, tell Phoebe the news…and that I love her"

"Will you call again?" Piper asked.

"I'll call when I can" Prue said.

She hung up the phone. Prue felt her baby kick and placed her hand on her stomach.

"Now your aunts know" Prue said. "But they're the only ones that can. I'm sorry you're not going to get a normal life"

Prue was suddenly overwhelmed with anger and sadness.

"Those people" Prue said. "They don't want your dad and I to be together. They don't want you to exist"

Prue sat on the couch until Andy came home.

"Andy" Prue said. "I've been thinking"

"About what?" Andy asked.

"What if we caught?" Prue asked. "What are we going to do?"

"We'll decide if it happens" Andy said.

"But it's not just our lives now, Andy" Prue said. "This baby is in danger because of us"

"I know that" Andy said. "Which is why we're not going to get caught"

Prue put her head in her hands.

"This kid is never going to get a normal life" Prue said. "They'll be hiding with us for the rest of their life. They'll never get to meet their aunts or any of their family"

"What do you want us to do?" Andy asked.

"I think…I think maybe we should give the baby up" Prue said quietly.

Andy sighed.

"I don't think I can do that" Andy said. "It's our baby"

"And it's our job to give them the best life they can have" Prue said. "I don't want the Elders to find it and take it away"

"I know" Andy said. "Neither do I"

Prue sat down.

"I called Piper" Prue said.

"When?" Andy asked.

"About fifteen minutes ago" Prue said. "She misses us"

"We miss them too" Andy said.

"I told her I was pregnant" Prue said. "I couldn't keep it from them any longer. They have the right to know they're going to be aunts"

"They do" Andy said.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

AT THE MANOR

"What's all of this about?" Phoebe asked Piper.

Piper pulled Phoebe into her bedroom.

"I got a call from Prue" Piper wrote on a piece of paper.

"When?" Phoebe asked.

"Shh" Piper said.

She handed the pad of paper to Phoebe.

"When?" Phoebe wrote.

"At the club"

"What did she say?" Phoebe wrote.

"She misses us" Piper wrote. "And that she and Andy are doing fine"

"That's good"

"She also told us the real reason she left"

"What do you mean real reason?" Phoebe wrote.

"She's pregnant" Piper wrote. "Six months to be exact"

Phoebe dropped the pencil.

"I know" Piper said. "This is big"

"Really big" Phoebe said.

Phoebe and Piper were quiet.

"I think I'm going to go to my room" Phoebe said.

"Okay" Piper said.

Piper ripped up the paper Phoebe and her had written on and then went downstairs to throw it in the fire.

Okay, there's going to be another time skip in the next chapter just to warn you. Again sorry for the long waits on the updates, I've been really busy. Please, please, please review.
