A week later, Ana Ross was heading to pay a visit to the Osborne-Conley house. It was time for her to do her monthly check up on Prue and Piper. She'd checked on Phoebe and Paige yesterday, and they were both flourishing and adjusting well to their foster parents. They were even calling Edmund 'daddy'.

Ana had high hopes that Prue and Piper would thrive in the Osborne-Conley home, because Gabriela and Samantha had successfully fostered and adopted Malakai. Plus they had fostered dozens of kids before and after adopting him. They had never had any problems. Little does she know, that she's about to have a bomb dropped on her.

Upon arriving at the Osborne-Conley residence, Ana walked up to the house and knocked on the door. She shifted her weight on her feet as she waited for the door to be answered.

"Ana." Gabriela said as she answered the door, "What brings you here?"

Gabriela was a little nervous that Prue and Piper would be getting taken away. It happened before and for no apparent reason. She and Samantha had a little girl that they cared for eight months and who they had plans to adopt, but shortly before the adoption the little girl was taken away.

"Just coming to check in on Prue and Piper." Ana replied

Gabriela nodded as felt a weight lift off of her shoulders and she let Ana in, "The girls are doing great. Kai has been so welcoming to them. The three of them get along great."

"I'm glad to hear that." Ana stated, "Could I speak with Prue and Piper? I have a few questions I'd like to ask them."

"Of course." Gabriela agreed. She knew how the monthly visits went. She was no stranger to them.

Gabriela called the sisters downstairs and when they came down to the living room, Gabriela left the room to give Ana and the two sisters some privacy.

"How are Phoebe and Paige?" Prue asked as she sat down on the couch.

"They are doing great. I just saw them yesterday." Ana informed

Prue nodded, "When can I see them?" She missed her baby sisters terribly. She had never been away from them. It was hard on her. She couldn't imagine how hard it was on Phoebe and Paige. 'How are they coping?' She wondered. She had only talked to Phoebe on the phone that one time.

"We don't want to set them back in the progress that they have made." Ana explained, "They are adjusting well to the family that they are in. Their foster parents are wonderful to them. They both love them."

Prue sighed as she looked down, "Okay." This made her sad. She really wanted to see her sisters and make sure that they were okay.

"I really want to know about how you and Piper are doing here." Ana spoke

"We're fine." Piper mumbled as she was looking down.

Ana put her hand under Piper's chin to force her to look up, "Piper..."

Piper looked over at her big sister desperately. She was scared to tell the truth. She was afraid that Malakai would hurt Prue if she told.

"We can't tell you." Prue told Ana

"What can't you tell me?" Ana questioned. She was concerned about the welfare of the sisters. It was evident that something was wrong from the way Piper said that they were fine.

Prue looked away, "Kai..." She shook her head, "No, I can't."

"What about Kai?" Ana inquired

"He said that he'd hurt Piper if I told anyone." Prue stated.

Prue couldn't let Piper get hurt. She had promised her mother and her grandmother that she would take care of her sisters. It was killing her that she couldn't be with Phoebe and Paige to take care of them, but she also didn't want them anywhere near Malakai. She was glad that they were safe in their foster home. That brought Prue at least some comfort.

Ana looked Prue directly in the eyes, "I won't let that happen. Remember what my job is? It's my job to look out for you and your sisters. Make sure that the homes you are in are safe."

Prue sighed, "He was nice at first. He bought us toys, and tickle monster seemed so harmless but then he started hurting me. Kai...he comes in my room at night and forces me to play house with him. He sticks his penis inside me."

"Prue, you tried this before with Alec and Jasper. I didn't work then, and it's not going to work now." Ana responded to Prue's accusation. She didn't understand why Prue was doing this again.

"I'm telling the true." Prue insisted

Ana ran a hand through her hair as she sighed, "Why should I believe you, Prue? You tried to get Piper to accuse Jasper and Alec of being inappropriate with her?"

"It's true." Piper added, "Malakai comes into my room every night and hurts me. He puts his thing inside me. He told me that he'd hurt Prue too if I told anyone."

"Oh my gosh." Ana uttered "I'm sorry I didn't believe you, Prue. I'm getting you and Piper out of here today."

Prue gave a grateful smile, "Thank you."

"Will you reunite us with Phoebe and Paige?" Piper asked

"I'll try my best, but to do that I'll have to move them. The foster home they are in isn't licensed for kids older than five." Ana explained

Piper looked down sadly, "Oh."

"Then do that!" Prue half-yelled "I want my sisters with me. I have a responsibility. I have a promise to keep."

Ana nodded, "Okay. I will." She hated that she was going to have to uproot Phoebe and Paige, but she knew that it would be best for the four sisters to be together.
