Sorry about the delayed update but I started school and it sucks. I have so much homework this weekend. Sorry that this is such a super short chapter. I'll try really hard to post a longer chapter soon.

Prue looked at Piper.

"Can we do that?" Prue asked.

"We got rid of the triad" Piper said.

"Cole got rid of the triad" Prue said.

"Well, we've vanquished other important demons" Piper said.

Prue sighed.

"Do you have a plan?" Prue asked.

"I haven't gotten that far yet" Piper said.

Prue nodded and went to get the book.

"It can wait until tomorrow, Prue" Piper said. "You're exhausted"

"Right now, I just want to feel like I'm doing something" Prue said. "This entire pregnancy, I've just sat there. I never thought about what would happen in the future. I didn't let myself think about how bad the future could be even if I was still alive"

"Maybe you didn't do anything because in your heart you wanted so bad for everything to be good that you didn't think about any of the bad stuff that could happen" Piper said.

"But I always think ahead" Prue said. "I always think about the future and what's going to happen. How could I be so stupid? My own son kills me in the future and I wasn't going to do anything to stop it"

"You can't blame yourself for not wanting to admit your son was evil" Piper said.

"But that's it" Prue said. "He's human so he still has a choice"

"Not as long as the Source is around" Piper said.

She sighed.

"Go to bed, tomorrow we'll start planning" Piper said.

Prue hesitated and Piper got up and hugged her.

"It'll be okay if we wait a night to start planning" Piper said.

Prue nodded and headed to her room. She changed into her pajamas and got into bed. After tossing and turning she fell into an uneasy sleep and began to dream.

She was someplace dark, she could hardly see.

"You can't kill me" the Source's voice said. "Not if you want to keep your family alive"

Prue turned around but no one was there.

"Where are you?" Prue asked.

The Source laughed.

"In the underworld" the Source said. "I'm just talking to you through your dream"

"How will killing you affect any of us?" Prue asked.

"You see, my son won't like his mother killing his dad. So then you'll start to lose control of your powers. He'll take control and he'll kill your sisters, your whitelighter, and then you'll wish you were dead yourself" the Source said.

"You're lying" Prue said.

"Are you willing to risk your families' lives on it?" the Source asked.

Prue watched a scene start to form. Prue stood in the hallway in the manor. By now she was what looked like eight months pregnant. Tears streamed down her face and she saw Phoebe come downstairs.

"Phoebe, stay away" Prue pleaded. "Please"

"Prue, what's wrong?" Phoebe asked, concerned.

Phoebe saw Piper and Leo's bodies lying in the hallway. Phoebe raced down and felt for Piper's pulse.

"Prue, what happened?" Phoebe asked, crying.

When she turned to look at Prue her eyes had turned black, and she held a fireball in her hand. She threw it at Phoebe.

"No!" Prue shouted, waking up.

UNDERWORLD

"Are you sure it will work?" the cloaked figure asked.

"Either she won't attack or I'll make her go insane until she can't attack" the Source said. "A week full of those images and she won't be able to think much less vanquish something"

"But if it fails…" the cloaked figure said.

"Then I have a plan that I'm sure won't fail" the Source said.

THE MANOR

Prue sat at the kitchen table with her tea. Her hands had been shaking ever since she had woke up. The scene kept replaying in her head. She tried to tell herself it was a lie but the look of fear in Phoebe's eyes stayed in her mind. Trying, to keep herself preoccupied, she read the newspaper.

"Hey" Phoebe said coming into the kitchen with Cole. "Where's Piper?"

"I heard the shower turn on a couple minutes ago" Prue said.

Prue set the newspaper down so Phoebe couldn't see that her hands were shaking.

"Are you doing okay?" Phoebe asked. "With everything that's happened"

"I'm fine" Prue said.

It was silent.

"Did Piper talk to you last night?" Phoebe asked.

Prue nodded.

"I guess we should start working on a plan" Phoebe said.

Prue shrugged, not sure how to tell Phoebe she didn't think vanquishing the Source was a good idea.

"What's wrong?" Phoebe asked.

"I don't think we should vanquish the Source" Prue said.

"What?" Phoebe asked. "Piper said that last night you were all for it"

"Well, I was thinking about it last night and I came up with too many reasons why we shouldn't do it" Prue said.

"Really, name a reason" Phoebe said. "Cause I've got a list a mile high of why we have too"

"Pheebs, think about it, Caleb burns my toast when he doesn't like, he forms fireballs in my hand when he's mad at someone, and he does all this when he's in my womb" Prue said. "What do you think he's going to do when the three of us try to kill his dad?"

"Prue, you can control him" Phoebe said.

"For how long though" Prue said. "Right now I can, but can you guarantee in four months I won't lose control"

"Prue, if we don't vanquish the Source we'll all die" Phoebe said.

"Phoebe's right" Cole said. "It dangerous if you don't do something about the Source. I mean you've got at most five more months until you give birth and once you do, the Source is going to want you dead"

Prue pushed back her hair.

"All I know is I'm not sure I can keep control for much longer" Prue said.

"Did something happen that's making you doubt your control over him?" Phoebe asked.

"Nothing happened" Prue lied. "I just have this really bad feeling"

Phoebe sighed.

"I think you should talk to Leo" Phoebe said "See what he thinks"

"Leo can't be positive about anything right now" Prue said. "He already said the Elders have never had to deal with anything like this before"

"I might be able to help" Cole said.

"Yeah right" Prue scoffed. "My son is nothing like you"

"Actually, besides the fact that he's the heir of the Source, he's not that different" Cole said.

A fireball formed in Prue's hand.

"Ah, Cole, why don't you go out into the living room, I'll be out in a second" Phoebe said, a little nervous.

Cole left the room and the fireball fizzled out.

"This is what I'm talking about" Prue said.

"Does the baby do that often?" Phoebe asked.

"Only when he's mad, which is usually when I get really irritated" Prue said. "That's why I try not to get irritated in public anymore"

"So far you've been able to extinguish them?" Phoebe asked.

Prue nodded.

"I think the three of us need to talk" Phoebe said.

"About what?" Piper asked, coming into the kitchen.

"We've run into a problem" Phoebe said.

"What kind of problem?" Piper asked, concerned.

"Prue doesn't think Caleb can handle us vanquishing the Source" Phoebe said.

"What? Why?" Piper asked.

"I just have a feeling that if we vanquish him Caleb's going to get mad and when he gets powerful enough, he's going to take control" Prue said.

"But Anna's just as powerful" Piper said.

"She might be able to most of the time but what if he gets through" Prue said. "One time is all it takes to kill someone…and I couldn't live with myself if I did that"

"But if we don't kill the Source…"

"Then we'll die, I know" Prue said, getting upset. "But if we do vanquish him Caleb could kill the both of you"

Piper sighed.

"I still think the best option is vanquishing the Source" Piper said. "But I won't ask you to do it if you don't want to"

"It's not that I don't want to" Prue said, frustrated. "It's that I can't"

"But you can" Phoebe said.

Piper nudged Phoebe and glared.

"I think the best thing we can all do now is think about the consequences for both actions and then make the decision" Piper said, attempting to keep Prue from getting upset.

Prue nodded and tried to shake the images her dream had left her from her head. It remained quiet for a second.

"Are you okay?" Phoebe asked.

"I'm fine" Prue said. "You should go talk to Cole"

Phoebe looked at Prue for a second, still concerned.

"I'm fine" Prue said, irritated.

"Okay" Phoebe said.

She left the kitchen.

"I think I'm going to go lie down" Prue said.

CONSERVATORY

"What did you guys decide?" Cole asked.

"We haven't decided anything" Phoebe said.

"Listen Phoebe, I know the Source" Cole said. "He has everything planned out, there's no way he isn't going to try to kill Prue after Caleb's born. Once Prue is dead, he'll kill you and Piper and he'll try to kill Anna anyway he can"

"But if Prue's feeling is right, we could die anyway" Phoebe said.

"But at least then you'd have a chance" Cole said. "You could keep her somewhere away from people she could hurt. With the Source there'd be nothing you could do"

"What if we just waited until the babies were born to vanquish the Source?" Phoebe asked.

"You'd be risking him killing Prue before you could vanquish him" Cole said. "Chances are he already has a plan for when Prue goes into labor and if he gets to her before you do…"

"Then we die" Phoebe said. "Why is it the consequence to every single one of our actions is death?"

"I think your best bet is to vanquish the Source now" Cole said.

"So do I" Phoebe said. "But if Prue doesn't think that then we'll never be able to do it"

REPLIES

Brittany: Can I hug you? Seriously, you are so nice. I don't even deserve that niceness now that I've made you wait for an update and it's not even a very good chapter. I'm going to try very hard to get my next chapter up within a week. Tomorrow I'm having a family reunion so I won't be able to do anything and during the week I'm completely buried in homework, so it'll definitely be at least a week. I hope I'm not causing you to go through withdrawal.

Prue Trudeau: Glad you liked the chapter. I'm amazed myself that I'm not putting Andy in the story. I guess I'm really trying to keep to the main plot. With my other stories I've always kind of wandered away from it. I really want to focus on Prue, Caleb, and Anna and all of their dysfunctional family problems. Also, you were half right with the title thing. The title is about the twins and it's also about Prue's love for the twins. And don't worry about the rambling, if I had a penny for every time I started to ramble I'd be a millionaire. I always appreciate your reviews.

PaigeMatthews06: I don't really know why I had Prue do that. I was just trying to include the sisters as much as I could, I guess. Thanks for your review!

Kate: No suggestion I ever get will be stupid. I love all suggestions. I've been struggling through this whole story if I'm going to have Piper get pregnant. I want to keep to the regular timeline but it might feel like I'm putting too much in at one time if I have Piper get pregnant. Then when I have too much I usually can't cover both things as good as I want to. If that made any sense to you, good cause it stopped making sense to me after the first couple sentences. Hope you review again and glad my story's good even without Chris!

TVCrazed: Yeah, looking back Anna and Caleb did die too fast but when you're writing everything always happens much slower, so sorry. Thanks for your review!

Mony19 and charmed4eva1990: Thanks for the reviews. Glad you both liked the chapters.

ToxicDuck77: Kristy, you're weird. I just thought you'd like to know that. And if I'm your mother then that makes you an uncute, yucky daughter.
