Chp. 4

Prue arrived home and when straight up to the attic. She wasn't really tired, she just wanted to be alone for a little while with her baby. Prue smiled at the thought of that. Her baby. She had never been too ecstatic about motherhood before but now she couldn't wait. Prue moved both hands and placed them around her stomach. She wondered how far along she was. All of a sudden a figure appeared behind her.

"My dear look at you" said a voice from behind.

"Grams!" Prue turns around and looks.

"Yes and soon to be great grams I presume" said penny.

"Wait what are you talking about?" asked Prue worriedly.

"Prue sweetheart you don't have to hide it from me. Everyone already knows it they've known it for quite some time now and I might as well tell you now that that spell didn't and never will work no matter how much power you use with it" Grams replied in a soft tone.

"Well no use hiding it now so tell me exactly why the spell won't work. It worked for mom why not me?" asked Prue.

"Well the child your mother was trying to hide was not nearly as powerful as the one you are trying to hide" Penny said.

"Elaboration would help" Prue said hastily.

"Prue your child is to be the most powerful force the world has and ever will know. You see this was never supposed to happen which is exactly why the baby will be so powerful having the powers of both a witch and a demon make your baby almost invincible" Grams said energetically.

"Wait so you're telling me that my baby will be even more powerful than the charmed ones who were supposed to be the most powerful force of good the world has ever known. Correct?" asked Prue fierily.

"That is absolutely correct but you see the baby could be either good or evil which is why you will be targeted non-stop by evil forces. The first born of the charmed ones was already supposed to be more powerful than the charmed ones but add in demonic abilities and the baby will be a supreme power!"

"You know I really don't think I can take this right now. I thought we would be okay, maybe on the elders number one wanted list, but still okay. Now I will be at risk of death along with my unborn child, anymore you want to add in there right about now!?!?"

"Prudence, honey calm down you will be okay and that is why I've come to warn you about it so you all will be fine"

Prue looked at Grams on the verge of tears, "No grams it's not going to be okay. This isn't just me or the baby at risk it means everyone else around me as well. What about Piper and Paige or Cole and Leo. Grams I can't have what happened to Andy and Phoebe happen again especially if they died for me. I wouldn't be able to handle that."

"I know this must be hard for you dear but your sisters along with Leo and Cole, Cole especially, need to know this it's extremely important," Grams said as her voice began to fade, "you have to tell them..."

Prue then sat back down in the chair and began to cry softly until a hand touched her shoulder very gently.

"Prue?" asked the warm familiar voice she had come to love ever so much.

"Cole" Prue cried softly and collapsed in his arms, "my world has fallen apart. Isn't pregnancy usually supposed to be a good thing not a death threat god Cole I can't take this anymore!"

"I know honey but we have to be strong and work it out as a couple, as parents" Cole replied soothingly.

"Cole you don't understand!" Prue said in a frustrated tone, "you haven't heard the prophecy about this baby he will be the first born of the charmed ones plus he'll have demonic abilities how the hell are we supposed to raise a child of that nature?!" Cole looked down with a rather guilty look on his face.

"You knew about the prophecy didn't you and you never told me. Didn't you think that might be a good thing to know, especially now. I can't believe you!" Prue cried in an outraged tone.

"Prue! You have to understand that was something I knew as a demon. I wanted to rid my evil ways. I didn't think it would be important!" Cole shouted trying to make Prue understand.

"Well maybe next time you should think a little harder 'cause it is important and would have been nice to know! I need to take a drive and clear my mind. God I can't believe you!" Prue cried, voice full of tears as she ran down stairs and started her car and drove off.
