Important Author's Note! I messed up and put the wrong chapter 4 on this story. Please go back and read the real chapter 4 and this story will make a lot more sense! It still has the same name as the old chapter 4 but it's very different. I am really really sorry for the mess up.
Chapter 6: Goodbyes and Hellos
3 ½ MONTHS LATER
Prue was at the diner when Alice, another waitress came up to her.
"Prue, you should go home" Alice said. "You shouldn't even be working this late in your pregnancy"
"You sound like Andy" Prue said.
"Well he's right" she said.
"We need the money" Prue said. "Especially since the baby's coming"
"It's funny you should mention that" Alice said. "The girls and I talked and everyone chipped in"
"Chipped in for what?" Prue asked.
Alice took Prue's hand and brought behind the counter. There were tons of bottles, clothes, toys, books, and everything. Prue smiled.
"You're kidding me" Prue said.
"We figured you'll need the stuff" Alice said. "And since Andy can't find a job, you're going to need to save some money"
Prue laughed.
"Thank you" Prue said. "All of you"
Prue hugged Alice and went to finish cleaning up. She picked up some dishes and started bringing them to the kitchen. Suddenly she dropped the plates. A small puddle formed underneath her.
"Uh oh" Alice said. "Sweetie, I think we better get you to a hospital"
Prue bent over and groaned.
"Come on" Alice said. "Jamie, call Andy"
Alice led Prue over to a chair.
"I bet you had no idea you were having contractions" Alice said.
Prue nodded.
"I thought it was just normal" Prue said.
Alice nodded.
"Andy's on his way" Jamie said.
Prue nodded.

A WEEK LATER
Prue held her new son, Andrew Anthony Halliwell, in her arms. She looked out onto the beach. Andy came and out his arms around her.
"I should let them know" Prue said.
"Prue…" Andy said.
"What's wrong?" Prue asked.
"I think they know where we are" Andy said.
"What do you mean?" Prue asked.
"I'm not sure but we need to get back to San Francisco" Andy said. "Your sisters might be able to help"
"When should we leave?" Prue asked.
"In the morning" Andy said.
Prue sighed.
"I don't think I've ever been happy and sad at the exact same time" Prue said.
Andy and Prue looked at their son.
"He's an angel" Andy said.
"Literally" Prue said smiling.
Andy smiled.
"We should dance" Prue said.
Andy looked at Prue for a second. He took her and they started dancing with the baby on the beach. She laid her head on Andy's shoulder and started to cry.
"Shh" Andy said. "Everything's going to be fine"
"You don't know that" Prue said. "I'm so scared that I'm going to lose the both of you"
"I won't let anything happen" Andy said.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
THE NEXT DAY
Prue and Andy opened the door to the manor.
"Piper" Prue said. "Phoebe"
Piper and Phoebe came running out of the kitchen. When they saw Prue they stopped. Prue held her finger to her lips signaling for them to be quiet.
"We need your help" Prue said. "Your nephew needs your help"
"What can we do?" Piper asked.
"We need a stronger spell" Prue said. "To keep him hidden"
Phoebe and Piper nodded.
"Take him to the attic" Phoebe said.
Everyone went up to attic. Phoebe started flipping through the book.
"I'd ask his name but it's probably too dangerous" Piper said.
Prue nodded and held Andrew close to her.
"There" Phoebe said. "If I combine these two spells it should work"
Prue and Piper looked it over and nodded in approval.
"So how long are you staying here?" Piper asked.
"A day" Prue said. "I wish we could stay longer"
"We wish you could too" Phoebe said. "Would it be safe to hold him?"
"I don't see the harm in it" Prue said.
She gently placed Andrew in Phoebe's arms.
"His name is Andrew" Prue said softly. "Andrew Anthony Halliwell"
"That's an adorable name" Piper said.
Prue nodded.
"He's a week old" Prue said.
"He's beautiful" Phoebe said.
"My turn" Piper said.
Phoebe handed the baby to Piper. Prue leaned against Andy trying to soak in the moment of happiness before something went wrong. Phoebe hugged Prue.
"I'm so happy for you" Phoebe said.
Prue smiled.
"I wish it didn't have to be this way" Prue said quietly.
"Me too" Phoebe said.
Prue sat on the couch.
"I've missed this place" Prue said.
She yawned.
"Why don't you take a nap?" Piper asked.
"I don't know if that's very safe" Prue said.
"We'll watch out for you" Piper said.
"Fine, but only for fifteen at the most" Prue said.
She went to her room and fell asleep.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
HALF AN HOUR LATER
"Prue, wake up" Andy said.
Prue noticed the panic in his voice.
"What's wrong?" Prue asked sitting up.
Andy immediately handed Andrew to her.
"I need you to get out of here" Andy said. "There is an Elder downstairs asking Piper and Phoebe a lot of questions"
"I'm not leaving without you" Prue said.
"It's to protect your son" Andy said. "If we all stay everyone including your sisters will be in big trouble"
Prue was quiet.
"I had your sisters bind his powers so he'll be safe" Andy said.
"When I find a safe place for him I'm coming back" Prue said quietly. "And you're not going to stop me"
Andy sighed.
"Be careful, Prue" Andy said.
"Why don't you just come with me?" Prue asked with tears in her eyes.
"I can't let them hurt your sisters" Andy said. "I know you'd be devastated if anything happened to them and I couldn't be blamed for that"
Prue wiped a tear from her eye and kissed him.
"I love you" Prue said.
"I love you too" Andy said.
Andy kissed Andrew.
"Bye Andrew" Andy said.
Leo came into the room.
"Orb me to the park" Prue said. "That way they won't know where I'm going"
Leo took Prue and orbed to the park. Prue turned to Leo.
"Protect them" Prue said.
"I will" Leo said.
"Go" Prue said. "Before they notice you're gone"
Leo orbed out. Prue started walking towards the church. She felt something in the pit of her stomach and started walking faster. Tears were streaming down her face as she opened the door to the church.
"Can I help you?" a nun asked.
Prue wiped her eyes.
"I need you to find my son a home" Prue said trying not to cry. "I can't protect him anymore"
"Protect him from what?" the nun asked.
"Just please find him a good home" Prue said. "And if he ever comes back to you when he's older, make sure he knows his dad and I love him"
Prue handed Andrew to the nun.
"Does he have a name?" the nun asked.
"Andrew Anthony" Prue said starting to cry.
She kissed his forehead.
"I love you my baby boy" Prue said. "And I always will"
Prue turned and walked out of the church. She started hurrying back to the manor. On her way there an Elder orbed in front of her. Prue stopped as she saw another Elder standing with Andy.
"It wasn't her fault" Andy said. "I encouraged all of this"
"It would be in your best interest to be quiet" the Elder said. "Prudence, you're going to have to come with us"
