A/N: Sorry for the wait. Thank you to my reviewers. And just to clear things up a little from the last couple of chapters, Paige didn't get raped, she was just attacked.
Here is the next chapter.
------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 10
The sisters and their families went out to the San Fernando ranch that their parents owned, for Thanksgiving. Leo's Mom and Andy's parents were there, too.
Jess had her cast off now, but still needed her medicine.
Prue's belly was getting bigger and bigger everyday. A.J. wasn't liking that he was going to have a little brother or sister.
Patty, Piper, Caroline, and Emily were in the kitchen preparing the meal while everyone else was out with the horses.
There was a knock at the door and Piper was the only one not busy at the moment, so she answered it.
"Can I help you?" she asked.
"Uh, yeah. Does Victor Bennett still live here?" the visitor asked.
"Yep. He's out with the horses right now, but I could call him if you'd like."
"Sure, that'd be great."
"How do you know him?" Piper asked as she reached for the phone by the door.
"I used to work for him. How do you know him?"
"I'm his daughter."
"I thought I recognized you. Piper, right?"
"What?"
"You don't recognize me, do you?"
"Sorry, no."
"That's ok. I've changed over the past few years. It's Jeremy."
"Jeremy!"
"Yeah. How are the girls?"
"Um, they're good, but you really shouldn't be here. My husband hasn't gotten over what happened. Especially since Dan showed up at my wedding."
"He did what!"
"He came to the wedding and started harassing me. And then we found out he attacked my little sister, too."
"Well, is everyone ok?"
"Yeah. Dan's in jail. He was sent to prison for a few years because of all the rape charges he had against him."
"Wow. I missed a lot."
"Yeah. Prue got married, had a son and has another baby on the way. Phoebe got engaged, got pregnant, her fiance died, she had a baby girl, and then got married to one of the ADA's helping us. Oh, and my parents are still together."
"Wow, I did miss a lot. Do I know who everyone married?"
"Well, Prue married Andy, and Phoebe married Cole Turner."
"I know Andy, but I don't know Cole. Who's the father of Phoebe's daughter?"
"That would be Drake Dumont."
"Really? How did he die?"
"Car accident."
"That's too bad. And who's your husband?"
"I am," Leo said from behind Jeremy.
"Leo, you remember Jeremy, don't you?" Piper asked.
"How could I forget. What's he doing here?"
"He came to see Dad. Where are the girls?"
"They're with everyone else."
"Um, Jeremy, why don't you go see my Dad. I'm sure he'd like to see you," Piper suggested.
"Ok. It was nice seeing you," Jeremy said as he headed toward the barn.
"Leo, he didn't even know who I was at first," Piper said as Leo started walking into the house.
"Well that doesn't make it ok what he did in the past."
"I know. Can we just move on from that? Please? I have to get back to helping with the meal."
"Ok," he said as he hugged her. "I love you, Piper."
"I love you too, Leo."
------------------------------------------------------------
Later that evening, everyone was sitting in the den, except for Jeremy. The children were either playing on the floor, or sleeping on their parents laps.
Paige and Glen were playing a game in the back corner.
Andy's parents and Leo's Mom had gone home shortly after the meal.
"You know what Mom and Dad," Phoebe said, standing up with a sleeping Savannah in her arms. "I think we need to get home. Savannah's already asleep and Cole's got a busy day tomorrow."
"Are you sure?" Patty asked.
"Yeah, Mom," Phoebe said. "Sorry. We might be able to come out on the weekend. Maybe spend the night."
"Ok, sweetie," Patty said. "Drive safe. We'll see you later."
"Mom, I think I need to get going, too," Prue said. "I need to get my sleep. And like Phoebe said about Savannah, A.J. is already asleep."
"Ok. We'll see all of you later."
"We might as well go, too," Piper said. "Let you guys get some peace and quiet."
"Ok. Buh-bye. Drive safe everyone."
------------------------------------------------------------
When they got home, Piper got the girls changed and wrapped Jess' arm while Leo got Jess' medicine.
Because of her injuries, Piper and Leo have to keep an eye on Jess. Her arm has to be wrapped every night and she has to have medicine for her head every morning and night. Both have to last at least a year, depending on what her doctor says.
"Mommy, my arm hurts," Jess said.
"I know Jess. It'll be ok in a minute," Piper said.
"Piper," Leo said as he walked in with Jess' medicine. "Shouldn't Prue and Andy have gotten home around the same time we did?"
"They aren't home yet?" Piper asked.
"No. I'll call my Mom and see if they went there."
"I'll call my parents and see if they went there."
------------------------------------------------------------
Half an hour later, Piper heard the front door close.
"Prue?" she called.
"No, Piper, it's me," Phoebe said. "You still haven't heard from her?"
"No. We've tried their cell phones and it just keeps going to voice mail." Piper started to cry again.
"It's ok sweetie," Phoebe said, wrapping her sister in a comforting hug. "We'll find them."
Cole, who was holding Savannah, went into the other room where Leo was.
"So, no one's heard from them at all?" Cole asked.
"No. We called Andy's parents, Victor and Patty, and we've tried their cell phones," Leo said, then the phone rang and Leo answered before Piper could. "Hello? . . . Where are you? . . . We'll be right there." Leo hung up the phone and went back to Piper and Phoebe. "If Cole can stay here and watch the kids, I'll take you two to see your sister. Andy just called."
"Are they ok?" Piper asked.
"Everyone's fine. But they were in a small accident."
"Oh no. Let's go," Phoebe said. "Cole, we'll be back"
Leo and the sisters left, with Cole just standing there, holding Savannah.
------------------------------------------------------------
"Where can we find the Trudeau's?" Leo asked the nurse at the desk as soon as they walked into the hospital.
"Andy!" Piper said.
"Never mind," Leo said to the nurse as he saw Andy coming towards them.
"Where's Prue?" Phoebe asked Andy.
"She's resting with A.J."
"Is everyone ok? What happened?" Leo asked.
"I don't know exactly what happened. One minute the road was clear, then I saw headlights coming towards me in my lane. I swerved and then blacked out. And yes, we're all fine, just a little shaken."
"Can we see Prue?" Piper asked.
"Yeah, follow me," Andy said.
Prue was laying in a bed with A.J. beside her, asleep.
"Oh, Piper, Phoebe, I'm so happy to see you!" Prue said as soon as she saw her sisters. "I was so scared."
"Do you think you could take A.J. back to the manor with you?" Andy asked. "We have to stay here for the night."
"Sure," Leo said.
"Why do you have to stay?" Phoebe asked.
"The doctors want to keep an eye on Prue and the baby," Andy said.
"Don't worry," Prue said. "Everything's ok. They just want to make sure before they release us. Plus, Andy has to have some tests done and they can't do them until tomorrow morning."
"What? Why do you need tests done?" Leo asked.
"I bumped my head when I blacked out," Andy said.
"And I had some blood work done just to make sure me and the baby will be ok," Prue said.
"Ok. Well, now that we know you're ok, we might as well head home and let all of our families know," Leo said.
"Yeah. Thanks for taking A.J. for the night. We'll call you when they release us," Andy said.
"Ok. We'll see you tomorrow," Piper said.
