"Where is she?" Andy asked his partner Darryl Morris as he ran in through the hospital doors. Darryl turned around from where he standing in front of the vending machine with a man wearing a brown leather jacket.
"She's in that room right now." Darryl answered, pointing towards a room a few doors away. "They want to see if she has any internal bleeding, she suffered quite a few blows to her ribs."
"Poor woman." Andy sighed, turning to the stranger. "Are you a witness?"
"Yeah, and a good friend." Henry responded, uncrossing his arms to shake the Inspector's hand. "Henry Mitchell."
"Andrew Trudeau." Andy responded, before thinking for a moment. He recognized that name. "Do you work at the station?"
"Sort of. I'm there a lot since I'm a Parole Officer." He answered, crossing his arms over his chest again as he leaned against the vending machine.
"Oh." Andy mumbled, turning to Darryl. "So what happened here?"
"A girl was attacked in the parking lot by South Bay Social Services a few hours ago. She's got a few bruises along her cheeks, and may have internal bleeding." Darryl responded but was cut off before he could add any more by the nurse calling for Henry to come into the room. He went in right away and Darryl and Andy slowly made their way.
"But this is where it gets creepy, Henry says it was a creature that attacked her." Darryl added as the slowly got closer to the door. Andy's feet stopped moving completely as he pulled Darryl back to him.
"My kind of creature?" He asked, watching Darryl nod. With that he stepped in front of Darryl and rushed into the dark room where a petite woman was sitting on the bed with her legs dangling over the edge.
"Inspector Trudeau." He greeted, letting his draw drop when she turned to look at him. She had a striking resemblance to Prue, with the exception of her brown eyes and pale, almost ivory coloured skin.
"Paige Matthews." She greeted back, extending her hand out to him to shake. Andy weakly shook her hand, receiving a flashback from three years ago.
As soon as they reached the Source of all Magic's lair, everything went back to the way it was before Andy reversed time. Darien then switched from a toddler to an adult in a matter of seconds, with Andy clutching onto his black shirt.
"What the…" Darien mumbled under his breath, studying his surroundings.
"Time has reset to where you started, since you failed." The Source of all Magic answered before Darien could utter the next word.
"Okay, I get that." Andy answered, "But why is he here?"
"Destiny." The man answered. "You will need him and the fourth sister to save the family, and change this already altered destiny."
"Already altered?" Andy gave a look before crossing his arms over his chest. "And wait, fourth sister!"
"Your destiny was to die at the hands of Rodriquez and Tempus." The man informed. "But the love you two share has opened up a new, greater destiny." He smiled.
"Wow." Andy and Darien said in unison.
"And the fourth sister is who will help alter this destiny. You need her magic to complete their new destiny." The man then waved his hand over the fountain to reveal a woman who strongly resembled Prue, while very pale ivory coloured skin sitting at a receptionist desk.
"Find Paige, and change his destiny." The man said, winking to Darien. "He will inherit your power."
He had completely forgotten this part, almost as if it was erased from his memory, possibly with all the time travel and saving Darien.
"Morris, I'll be right back." He grumbled, releasing her hand as he made his way out the door, pulling his cell phone out as he did so. His fingers moved quickly, dialling the Manor.
"HELLO!" Ben's voice rang through the phone, after only one ring.
"Hi Ben, can you put your Aunt Prue on the phone please?" Andy asked softly, hoping Ben wouldn't kill his eardrums again.
"Okey dokey." He replied, holding the cordless phone to his chest as he flamed up to his Aunt Prue's room.
"Oh, oh!" Prue yelled, pulling her arm back, ready to fight off a demon attack, but her sweet and innocent three-year-old nephew appeared instead. "Sweetie, remember we're supposed to use doors instead of magic." She scolded with a smile.
"Okays. Here." He whispered before running out the door to play with bigger and better things.
"Hello?" Prue answered, unsure if anyone was still on the phone after all that.
"Prue, it's me." Andy said, keeping his voice low so the nurses and doctors around him couldn't hear as they passed through the hall. "I have a… girl here and I think she's a witch that was attacked by demons."
"Oh, well just fade her over here and we'll kick the demons butt." Prue suggested as she look into the mirror to see her stomach beginning to show.
"That's the thing… She doesn't know she's a…" He didn't finish his sentence since she knew what he meant, and a doctor was walking past him.
"Oh." Prue sighed, still looking in the mirror and turning to see different angles of her baby bump. "Well, just keep her safe and find some sort of an excuse to bring her here."
"I'll try." Andy sighed, leaning against the wall. Longing to be back at home with his family. He could hear the boys playing in the background, running around and yelling. "Love you."
"You too." She smiled, placing a hand instinctively over her stomach. "And so do your sons." Andy simply smiled and hung up the phone before walking into Paige's hospital room.
"So what's your name?" Andy asked, pulling a pen from his breast pocket. He already knew her name, but it was standard procedure.
"Paige." She answered, noticing the Inspector grin. "… Paige Matthews."
"Alright." He mumbled, writing down all of the information she was providing. "Now, can you tell me about the creature you saw?" He asked, gazing up from the paper to meet her eyes. The resemblance was terrifying; she even had the cold Halliwell glare.
"You actually believe me?" Her brow simply quirked up as she studied the Inspector for any sign of doubt.
"Let's just say that I've seen my share of creatures too." He replied, crossing his arms over his chest as he leaned against the counter.
Paige nodded before continuing. "He was terrifying… He had these things on his head, and…" That was as far as she got before Henry's head poked in the swinging door.
"Inspector, I think she's been through enough today." He advised, walking to her side to provide a shoulder to lean on.
"You're right. I'm sorry." He apologized, gazing to Darryl who looked just as terrified as the woman. It was then that a woman's high-pitched scream echoed throughout the hospital. It was a scream from pure terror, which was then followed by many others.
"What's going on out there?" Henry asked, moving to Paige's side.
"I'm not too sure yet." Andy answered, placing a hand over his gun. He slowly backed to the doorway, where he saw two demons, one of them possibly a warlock, pushing nurses into the walls as they made their way to Paige's room. They drew the line when a woman clearly had electricity sent though her as she was shoved into the wall. Knowing that he couldn't let anything happen to Paige, he whirled around the door and sent a blast of energy at the two.
To his surprise, the other demon was quite powerful and sent his own blast of energy towards Andy, who met him half way with his own. Terrified screams echoed through the hospital as civilians fled in every direction. As Andy's bolt slowly made it's way to the demon, he prepared to flee into Paige's room. Right then, his bolt grazed the unknown demon across the chest, sending him flying into the wall behind him.
Andy ran into the room to gather the others, only to see Darryl standing in front of the bed with his gun in hand. "Take my hand." He ordered, holding his right hand out to Paige as he grabbed onto Darryl's collar.
"I'm not going anywhere!" She yelled, pulling away towards Henry. "What's going on out there?"
"Something dangerous, which is why we have to go, NOW!"
"No way." She huffed, before seeing two creatures walk in the door, one of them being her attacker. "Okay! Get me out!" Andy turned quickly, taking her hand and fading all four of them to the Manor.
Once they arrived, Darryl wobbled to the couch with a dazed Henry as Andy kept his hold protectively on Paige. He kept one hand ready incase the demons appeared as Paige stayed stiff as a board, terrified of these creatures. The sound of tiny footsteps echoed in his head, along with the clicking of high heels.
"Daddy, who the lady?" Darien asked from the doorway, where he held Prue's hand.
"Sweetie, Daddy can't talk right now." Prue kneeled down to his level, smoothing out his fine dark hair. Right when she was finished her sentence the two demons appeared a few feet away. "Fade now." Prue instructed, kissing his head before he faded away to safety.
"What the hell are you people!" Paige shrieked after seeing Darien fade away. The whole room ignored her question and focused on the two creatures.
"Prue, this is the little bit of trouble I ran into at the hospital." Andy informed, placing Paige behind him.
"I'll take care of them." She smiled, looking at the two creatures.
"Just be careful." Andy advised, remembering the baby that not many people knew about yet. Prue glared the first demon down just as he sent an energy bolt her way. She deflected it and sent him flying immediately, but something caught her eye. Two men in pure white suits were standing several feet to her side.
"Who are you?" She whirled to see them as they made their way towards the demons.
"None of your concern." The taller one answered, waving his hand, causing Andy and the demons to disappear into thin air. The men in white disappeared shortly after.
"I'm sorry, what were we just talking about?" She asked, turning to Paige and Darryl.
"I'm not too sure, but do you have any Advil?" Paige asked, pressing her fingers to her aching temple. "I have a splitting headache."
"No problem, follow me." Prue ordered, taking Paige's hand. As they made their way into the kitchen, they were greeted by Piper, Wyatt and Darien who were at the table. Wyatt was eating a cookie whereas Darien was howling. His tiny face was a boiling red and Piper was trying to calm him down.
"What's wrong, sweetie?" Prue asked, ignoring Paige for a moment.
"I… wants…" He paused, taking in a deep breath from crying.
"What do you want?" Piper asked, stroking his face as Prue took him into her arms.
"Daddy!" He yelled, burying his head into Prue's shoulder.
"Shh…" She comforted, stroking his hair and running her fingers along his back.
"Poor little guy." Piper began, gazing at her distressed nephew. "He really misses Bane ever since he was convicted again."

Hey! First of all, don't kill me! I didn't forget about this story, I've just had a crazy life lately. But I'm back!... If anyone still remembers :P.
And also, about the cleaners... I hate them in the show. I'm actually doing quite a few things that I hate about the show in the story, but I'm adding stuff to them so it's different. Plus, this time it isn't a direct smack in the face to Prue. But I thought they'd be the best thing for something that I have to do later. Makes no sense right now though.
Also, if it helps... since I wasn't writing much, I wrote down sooo many ideas over the months... so yeah. They will be fun if I can find a way to add them into any of my stories. Hope you all remember me!
