Chapter 11-The Talk Pt. 3
Piper sat looking at Melinda for a second. She hadn't done this in a while, she was seeing the resemblence that Melinda has with herself and Leo. Melinda noticed her mom staring at her. "What are you looking at?" She asked.
"You have your dad's nose."
"OK, Why are you..." She was interrupted by her mom "and you have my eyes."
"and your smile" Melinda told her seeing the look of amazement and confusion on her mom's face she responded "Aunt Phoebe tells me all the time." Piper smiled.
"I love you, you know that right?"
"Yeah, I love you too. Why did you have to ask?"
"Your my baby girl and I would never do anything to hurt you, physically or other whise. I understand yer were confused and scared and I just wanted to make sure that you knew that."
"I know. I don't know what happened to make us believe they were you." Melinda said looking down and playing with the stitching on her bed spread.
Piper smiles and while pushing Melinda's long brown hair out of her face and behind her ear she says, "Maybe it's just part of their magic."
Melinda and smiles at her mom. Piper smiles back and pulls her into a hug.

Prue slowly turns around and looks at Phoebe. It had been so long since they had had a mother daughter anything it was a little uncomfortable. Phoebe pulls Prue over and sits her on the couch and then positions herself on the corner of the table across from her. "I'm gonna go ahead and say it, am I really that horrible?"
Prue looks at her mom in disbelief. "What do you mean?"
"Am I really that horrible of a mother? I mean the things you said and the letter and your actions. I must be a really horrible mom huh?"
"No! your just busy and I get your jobs important, I really do, but I don't know I guess I'd like to be important for once."
"Your always important."
Prue looks at her mom not really believing her. Phoebe senses and decides to take the approach she would use to get information from her when she was little. She sat down beside her on the couch and pulled her close (when she was younger she would sit in her lap). "So, when did you start smoking?"
Prue looks at the floor sadly and goes "A couple weeks ago."
Phoebe nods her head trying not to get angry. "Why?" Prue shrugs her shoulders and trys to scoot away from her mom but Phoebe pulls her back over to her. "You had to have a reason."
"Brittney and Riley just kind of offord me one and at first I said no but after a while I just gave in."
Phoebe nods her head "Peer pressure can be a real bitch huh?"
Prue laughs and nods her head "Yeah it can."
Phoebe smiles and goes "I don't think i want you hanging out with those two girls anymore."
Prue nods her head and goes "Brittney's OK, it's just Riley who's a trouble-maker."
Phoebe laughs. "I'm sure she is."
Prue looked over at the clock it read 10:00 am. "Mom? Shouldn't you be getting to work?"
Phoebe looks at Prue and smiles "No ladybug. I'm taking the day off. I got my colomn finished yesturday. And you are way more important then some silly old colomn."
They sat talking for a few more hours. Prue promised to quit acting out and Phoebe promised to be home more. Then, they decided that they'd call Coop later and just hang-out together today. They were in the middle of a movie when the phone rang.
Prue reached up from the floor and answered the phone. "Hey Mel, What's up?"
"Oh umm, me and mom, and the twins, and Aunt Paige are going to go have a Mother/Daughter day. And we were wondering if you wanted to go with us?"
Prue looked over at Phoebe, who had just gone in the kitchen to get more popcorn, "Umm, actually, if you don't mind I'd love it just to be me and mom, just this once."
"OK that's great! Well, you know what I mean." (meaning that she was glad Prue and Phoebe were hanging out together)
Prue laughs and they say bye and hangs up the phone.
"Who was that?" Phoebe asked coming back and sitting next to Prue on the couch. "Umm, nobody."
