Chapter 5 – Three months later
"Prudence your eighteenth birthday has already past, why will you not accept his offer, you must marry Prue, you know how these things work!" Patty said softly sitting next to her daughter. "I don't love him..." Prue muttered sadly. "You must marry Prue, we cannot support you forever and now we have another mouth to feed." Patty said stroking the back of her daughter's hair.
Prue felt a tear trickle down her face and she wiped it away. "I will marry Julian mother..." she said quietly. "I don't know whether to be happy or sad." Patty said smiling. Prue laughed and wiped her eyes. She knew she could never marry Andrew, why did she have to get herself so... excited?
"We must tell everyone," she said standing up. She walked back in the house, which she had stormed out of just moments before with her mother behind her. "I will marry you Julian." She said softly. Julian and her sisters looked skeptical, after all when Julian had asked Prue had been... less than happy.
"Are you certain Prue?" Julian asked. "Yes, I am." She said with her eyes downcast. "I apologize, it's just a lot to take in and I was not sure I was ready." She lied. "I have talked to my mother and I believe I will be fine." She continued. Julian smiled and her sisters and Paige got excited and all ran to hug her. Prue knew she would be over Andy eventually and Julian was a very sweet man... She sighed and put on a smile trying to act happy at her engagement.
A few months later the wedding was planned completely. Prue really was starting to love Julian but it wasn't so much in love as it was friendly love. After all he was a really sweet person it was just that her stomach didn't do a summersault with him like it did with Andy... Yes she still wasn't over Andy...
One day as she and Piper were in town selling some tomatoes their mother had grown Andy came up. "Hi, how much are the tomatoes selling for?" he asked looking kind of nervous. "Um... 5 cents for each." Prue said suddenly feeling hot. "I'll take 3 please," he said taking 15 cents out and handing it to her.
"You're Prue Halliwell?" he asked. "Yes," she answered getting his tomatoes. "I'm Andrew Trudeau, you know I heard about your engagement to Julian Harper, he's a good man." Andy said still looking kind of nervous. "Thank you..." she said smiling as she handed him the tomatoes. "Yes, and Piper Halliwell?" he asked Piper. Piper turned around.
"Yes?" she asked confused to what he wanted her for. "Don't let Leo marry Lillian, he talks about you more than anything you must stop the wedding." He told her. Piper stood open mouthed as he glanced at Prue and then walked away.
Piper shook her head and ran after him. "You should practice what you preach." She told him as she caught up with him. He laughed and continued on his way. "What did you tell him?" Prue asked. "Just to say thank you for telling me that..." Piper lied as she turned to the next customer.
Paige stretched as she headed out of the room she and Phoebe shared. She headed into the living room but stopped as she heard her Aunt Patty and Grams talking. "Mother we should tell her," Patty said. "Why, no one must know Patty, what if the town finds out?" Penny asked. "Who really cares mother, so I'll be the town slut, it doesn't matter! I just want Paige to know who her father is was." Patty said quietly.
Paige should shocked, her father wasn't her father? "You also want her to know her mother and that's self fish of you Patty, she doesn't need this, it's yet to even be a year since they died!" Penny said. "Mother she's my baby, how would you feel if I didn't know you were my mother?" Patty asked. Penny didn't have an answer to this.
She didn't have to answer though because they heard someone run up the stairs and realized that they must have heard them. They looked at each other and ran upstairs to find Paige lying on the bed. "Paige, sweetheart, did you hear us talking?" Patty asked nervously. Paige nodded. "So you know?" Patty asked. "That you're my mother, yes, who's my father?" she asked.
"His names Samuel Wilder, he and I had you after the girls father left." Patty answered. "Why did he leave? Why did I grow up thinking the Matthews were my parents?" Paige asked. "He died, drowned actually... And we never had the chance to marry so mother, grams, made me give you up because of what the towns people would classify me as." Patty answered. "My friend was pregnant at the time also but the baby died being born so I gave you to her and let her raise you with her husband."
"I always wondered why you were my aunt when I didn't know whether it my mother or father that was related to you." Paige said laughing a bit. Patty smiled, "I was surprised you never asked." She said. "I always thought of Grams as my grandmother and never really thought to ask whether she was my mother's mother or my father's mother." Paige said.
They heard Piper call Paige and Phoebe from downstairs so Paige smiled and went to see what she wanted. Penny walked into the room and smiled. "You got what you wanted." She said. "I still don't know whether it was a good or bad thing," Patty said frowning.
"Paige, where's Phoebe?" Piper asked. "She's at the lake?" Paige answered. "Well I was gonna ask if you two wanna go." Piper said looking at her. "Sure," Paige said shrugging. "Good, come on!" Piper said grabbing her and running out of the house. They saw Andy on a horse riding towards the house now. Piper and him both winked at each other and then kept on their way.
