Chapter 8: Prue's Plan

"Prue I can't believe it is really you! I have so many questions!" Piper said astonished that her dead sister was really standing in front of her.

"Don't bother…I can't answer any questions about heaven and if I have been watching over you and things like that. I wish I could…but I can't." Prue said with an apologetic look on her face. "But enough about me…what about you! I mean…you have a baby!"

"Yes! His name is Wyatt." Piper said smiling.

"Wait…his name…" Prue said. She didn't know if she heard correctly.

"Yes. I have a baby boy." Piper explained.

"But I thought you were going to have a girl! I mean…we saw it in your future!" Prue said.

"Yes, well that was the same future where you were still alive and had blonde hair…obviously things change!" Phoebe said with a chuckle. The three shared a laugh. "Okay, not to be pushy but I have a deadline so what is your plan Prue?"

"Oh…well I was thinking, you guys have vanquished The Crone once and she had enough power to come back…so what we need to do is dis-empower her."

"Yeah but how are we going to do that? I mean it isn't like she will sit there and let us do it." Phoebe said.

"I know…that is why Piper freezes her, we say a spell and then throw the potion and BOOM…vanquished!" Prue explained.

"I like it! It sounds oddly familiar? Haven't we done a vanquish like that once?" Piper said with a smile on her face. She was trying to remember what demon it was.

"Yes…the one who was a cat and turned on his witch…he had to feel the pain of nine deaths." Prue explained.

"Ah...that is the one." Piper said.

"Okay…one more problem…we need a spell." Phoebe said.

"Got that covered…the spell in The Book Of Shadows that we burned, the one to banish our powers, what if we re-write that for The Crone?" Prue's plan had been very thought out…as if she had been waiting for this day to come.

"I like it!" Phoebe said. "Now…I will go work on the spell, Piper you work on finding The Crone, and Prue…you can go see Wyatt if you want…I don't think there is really anything else to do…"

"I would love that very much. Where is his room?" Prue asked.

"In my walk-in closet." Piper explained.

"You keep your baby in a closet?" Prue said shocked.

"Leo made it into a nursery thank you very much!" Piper said. Prue smiled and walked out of the attic. "Do you think she will be okay by herself?"

"Yes, she grew up here! I think she remembers her way around." Phoebe said as she walked over to the table to write the spell.

"It is just so weird to talk to her after all this time! It is going to be hard to let her go when it is time…" Piper said as she got a map and a crystal. She sat the map down on a table and unfolded it, placed her hand upon it and said,

"May this map,

Come uncurled.

Let me see,

The underworld."

Before Pipers eyes, the map to San Francisco became a map to the underworld. She took the crystal and began to scry for The Crone.

Prue walked into Wyatt's room and smiled at the angelic face that was smiling at her. Leo was there reading Wyatt a story.

"Oh hey Leo, it's been so long! I have missed you!" Prue said smiling at him. Not knowing that it was Prue who was talking to him instead of Paige, he said,

"Um…Paige…you see me everyday!"

"No…this is Prue." She explained. "Is this Wyatt? I am confused…"

"Well Piper was having some problems and it changed…" Leo started to explain. Prue cut him off.

"No…about his name…if his first name is Wyatt…then his name is Wyatt Wyatt?" Prue asked with a very confused look.

"No…His name is Wyatt, after me, Mathew, which is Paige's last name, Halliwell. Demons fear Halliwell so that is what we decided to go with." Leo explained. "Do you want to hold him?"

"Oh…yes I do!" Prue reached into Wyatt's crib and picked him up. She began to cry.

"Why are you crying?" Leo asked.

"I have missed so much!" Prue began. "I always thought it would be Me, Piper and Phoebe battling demons side by side! I never thought I would die like that, at such a young age! And now I missed my nephew being born and Phoebe getting married…even though it was to Cole. I just miss everything."

"Prue you have given so much! You should talk to the Elders, ask if you can come down whenever you want and see everyone." Leo said.

"Oh how I want to! I don't think I should though." Prue said

"Why not?" Leo asked.

"Because if my sisters see me all the time, then that will just make me real to them, and I don't want to go through that. Maybe I will talk to them about letting them contact me if they just want to talk or something…" Prue said. She got cut off by Phoebe and Piper walking through the door.

"It's time." Piper said.
