A/N: Sorry for the wait. I've been extremely busy and I've had a touch of writer's block. Thank you to my reviewers. Here, finally, is the next chapter.

Chapter 11

It was just after Christmas and everyone was at the manor. Andy and Prue were fine, and Jess wasn't in as much pain.

Andy got a new vehicle, a nice car that was stylish, and yet good for a family.

Prue and Piper were in the nursery, starting to get it ready for the new baby. "Piper," Prue said, "you don't want to have anymore kids."

"Why not?" Piper asked.

"Because you don't want to be pregnant again. Trust me."

"Oh, I don't know. I don't think I would mind. Leo and I both want more children."

"Well, at least you're waiting longer than I did. I just can't wait for the baby to be born. I don't remember being like this with A.J."

"I do. Although, I don't think you were quite this big until you were almost due."

"Yeah, and I still have about a month and a half."

"Mommy!" they heard A.J. call. "They won't let me play with Lady!"

"Why not?" Prue asked. A.J. just shrugged his shoulders. "Well, let's go see them."

"Girls! Open the door, now," Prue said sternly when they got to the girls' room.

The door opened and Lady ran out. "Hi Aunt Prue!" Mel said.

"Girls, why didn't you let A.J. play?"

"Because."

"That's not a good enough reason. A.J. wanted to play with everyone. You have to let him play with you when he wants to because he doesn't have any boys to play with that are around your ages." Prue bent down to A.J. and said, "Do you want to go see Daddy?"

A.J. nodded and Prue stood back up. She grabbed his hand and headed downstairs. As they reached the top of the stairs, Prue grabbed her stomach with her free hand, and stopped.

"Mommy?" A.J. said, noticing she was hurting. "DADDY! Help! Mommy needs help!"

Andy came running up the stairs, two at a time. Everyone else was coming, too. "Prue, what's wrong?" Andy asked.

"The . . . baby . . ." Prue couldn't say much more than that. She was in too much pain. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" she screamed.

"Oh no," Andy said. "The baby's on it's way, isn't it?"

Prue nodded, she couldn't talk because of the pain.

"Everyone, out of the way. Leo, give me a hand. A.J., go see Aunt Piper. Prue, you'll be ok. We'll get you to the hospital as soon as we can."

------------------------------------------------------------

Everyone was at the hospital. Piper took Jess, Mel, and A.J. in the Jeep, Cole and Phoebe took their car with Savannah, and Victor and Patty went in their car with Paige. Paige's boyfriend had to stay with his family for Christmas.

Leo had gone out to the waiting room with everyone else when they arrived and told Piper that Prue wanted her with her. Everyone was worried about Prue and the baby.

"Aunt Phoebe, will Mommy be ok?" A.J. asked.

"Of course she will, honey. She's going to be just fine. And so will your baby brother or sister," Phoebe answered.

------------------------------------------------------------

A few hours later, Piper came back into the waiting room.

"What's going on?" Phoebe asked.

"Nothing," Piper said.

"What do you mean by 'nothing'?" Paige asked. "Where are Prue and Andy?"

"Prue's in recovery and Andy's on his way out."

As she finished saying that, Andy came around the corner holding a baby in a blue blanket. "A.J. come here," Andy said. "Meet you little brother."

"What's his name, Daddy?" A.J. asked.

"His name is Alex."

"Can I see Mommy?"

"Sure. Piper, can you take Alex?"

"Sure. Tell Prue to rest and we'll see her in a bit." Piper sat down beside Leo and Andy carried A.J. off to see Prue.

------------------------------------------------------------

That night, Piper and Phoebe put the kids to bed while everyone else, except for Andy and of course Prue, were sitting and talking in the living room.

After a few minutes, they were all in the living room when Piper started talking. "Tomorrow, Mom, Phoebe, Paige, and I are going to take A.J. shopping for a few things Prue will need for the baby, and then we're going to go to the hospital to see them. While we're gone, could you guys take care of the kids and make sure everything here is all set for them to come home?"

"Sure, Piper," Victor said. Cole and Leo nodded, agreeing with Victor.

"Great," Phoebe said. "Cole, you don't mind staying here tonight, do you?"

"Of course not, Phoebe. You know I love everyone and everything here."

"I know. You don't have to go to work early tomorrow?"

"No. Besides, Savannah's already in bed and I wouldn't want to disturb her," Cole said.

"Ok, Phoebe, if you and Cole want to sleep in the attic, your old bed is still up there," Piper said.

"Thanks Piper," Phoebe said. Cole and Phoebe headed up to the attic, while Patty and Victor headed to the guest bedroom and Paige settled into the sofa in the living room. Piper and Leo went around the house making sure all of the windows and doors were locked and everything was turned off.

As they climbed the stairs to their room, Leo asked, "So, when do you want another baby?"

Piper just turned and looked at him with a smirk on her face. They jogged up the rest of the stairs as quietly as they could and closed the door to their bedroom.

------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, the women went out as they planned. When they got to the hospital, Andy was heading back to Prue's room with a cup of coffee for him and a soda for Prue.

"Daddy!" A.J. yelled.

"Ssshhh," Patty said to her Grandson.

Andy looked and came over to them. He handed the drinks to Piper and took A.J. from Patty.

"Hey little guy. Did you miss me and Mommy last night?" Andy asked. A.J. nodded. "How was he?"

"He was good," Piper said. "He obviously missed you both, but he was good."

"That's good. It'll just be a couple more nights. I might even come home tonight. We'll see how Prue and Alex are tonight. See if it's alright withPrue if I go home."

"Ok. It doesn't matter too much."

"Can we go see them now?" Phoebe asked.

"Sure. She's been moved into a nicer room. Follow me."

A/N: Again, I'm sorry for the wait. Hopefully, the next chapter won't take as long, but if it does, I'm sorry. Please keep reading.

And just to warn you all in advance, the next chapter might be the last one. I'm not sure yet. But don't worry, I'm not ending the story yet.
