"LEO!" the words were out of Pipers mouth before she had fully materialized. "LEO GET DOWN HERE!"
"Piper what? Oh my god what happened?" Chris' voice was with concern. It was times like this he wished he had the power to heal.
"Oh not much, just Phoebes son tried to kill her." Paige answered as she helped Piper gently placed Phoebe on the couch.
"Excuse me? Phoebe doesn't have a son."
"Yeah well she almost did two and half years ago." Piper answered about to shout for Leo again when the blue lights drifted from above.
"What...? Oh my god." Leo could see and almost feel the death surrounding Phoebe as he quickly bent down holding his hands over her.

Piper stood behind him with her one hand over her mouth afraid of the cries that might come out. She felt the arm around her waist and knew from pure instinct who it was. Once again dwelling in the strength and support her sister had always given her.

"She's strong Pipe. She'll pull through." Prues voice soft and full of the love that Piper had heard all her life. A voice she missed more then anything.

Paige looked over at Piper with Prue. The worry on both their faces, "Leo. What's taking so long?" She asked knowing the older two would want to know.
"Because she almost died. Anyone want to tell me what the hell happened anyway?"

As everyone explained parts of the story Leo continued his focus on Phoebe until they all heard the sharp intake of air.

"Phoebe. Oh god." Piper bent down and pulled her into her arms fearing to let go.
"Piper. What?" Phoebe returned her hug but was confused
"Prue saved your ass." Paige said with a smile
"Prue wanted to kill my ass." Phoebe shot back remembering what had happened

Prue bent down in front of Phoebe and took her hands in hers, "I'm sorry sweetie. It was a part of him that made me. The same evil that you felt when you held him for a few months."

Phoebe couldn't believer her eyes as she looked at her big sister. She was really there.

"I was suppose to save you, not the other way around. Thank you."
"You did save me Phoebe. I saw everything evil but somewhere a part of me still lived. And it was your three soft spoken words that got to me."
"When I said I love you." Phoebe reached up and hugged Prue tight not wanting to let her go again. "Can someone still tell me now what the hell happened? Other then for some weird reason and black magic my son is still alive and wants to kill me.

Prue sat down beside Phoebe with Piper on the other side. "The Soul Collector stole my soul before I could move on to reach Mum and Grams. And she also stole his soul when you three vanquished the Seer and all the demons in that cavern that day. She decided with the help of black magic to let him and I become 'alive' again. So she placed him inside me so he would come to term and he would lead her to the throne. Only the dark priest or whatever he was quickened his age so he would be able to take the throne himself in two years."
"The evil you felt when you were pregnant was also what Prue felt." Paige put in as she was starting to understand what was going on. "Only because she held him longer and was under the influenece of black magic herself, she was essentially slowly becoming evil."
"And to him, I was his Mother. Though he knew of you and what had happened with Cole."
"So he wanted revenge on me." Phoebe spoke quietly. Her memory of losing him fresh in her mind. "The question now is what do we do now."
"Well we all know he won't stop now. He had you once, he will come again. Though I am betting after his Coronation." Paige thought out loud
"When he has the full powers of the Source." Phoebe added knowing what her baby sister was thinking. "So we need to finish this now. Before he is to strong."
"What did you do with Cole?" Prue asked hoping it would not bring up bad memories for Phoebe.
"Which time?" Paige laughed.

"Which time?" Prue questioned.
"Yeah we vanquished him a few times Prue. I guess he couldn't stay dead." Piper answered but still kept a soft eye on Phoebe.
Paige stood up, "I'll go get the crystals." She volunteered as she started for the stairs.

The three of them sat still, neither one wanting to move. "You two went through so much. I'm sorry." Prue finally said as she felt a sister snuggle next to her on each side.
"So did you." Phoebe said quietly recalling what she had seen in her vision.

Prue looked down at her baby sister knowing what she meant. Somehow Phoebe had seen her in the underworld. Seen what she had been through.

Paige came down the stairs with the box of crystals in her arms. "Ok guys."
They all stood up, Piper and Phoebe taking crystals from the box and placing them on the floor.

"Now this looks familiar." The voice was cold, as Phoebe looked up from where she was squatted on the floor. Before anyone could say a word she went sailing across the room. "Mother. How could you?"
"Because you are evil bastard, just like your father." Phoebe replied as she pulled herself up from the floor.
"And it tore you apart to vanquish him. I am all you have left of your love for him. You can't let me go that easily."
"Watch me." She glared over at him, "Paige." she tossed her crystal at Paige quickly, who placed it on the floor sealing the crystal cage. Phoebe reached out and took Pipers and Paige's hands in hers, as the spell once again came smoothly from all three of them.

"Prudence, Patricia, Penelope. Melinda, Astrid, Helena, Laura and Grace." the flames begin to consume him as he looks down in disbelief "Halliwell witches stand strong beside us, vanquish this evil from time and space."

Prue turned to shield her eyes from the bright light and the explosion that followed. She wasn't sure what her sisters were planning but as she watched them now, she knew they would be ok without her.

Phoebe stepped forward to the now empty space he had been standing moments before. She closed her eyes as she instinctively held her hands at her stomach and looked down, known she had just killed a part of her. She took in a deep breath not really knowing what to feel as she slowly walked up the stairs to her room.

It was there Prue found her later.

"Phoebes sweetie. You ok?" she asked as she sat down on her sisters bed.
"Well I just vanquished my son. Or is that our son?"
"I don't think he was either one of ours sweetie. He was the Sources and the Seers. I'm sorry you had to go through all that again." she ran her fingers through her sisters hair as she had many times before when she was upset.
"At least you are here this time." Phoebe said as she looked up at Prue before sitting up and letting her big sister wrap her arms around her letting the love heal her inside.

Prue pulled back a bit and placed her forehead to Phoebes. "I have to go honey."
"I know." Phoebe bit back the tears that were threatening to flow.
"I will always watch out for you. Know that ok? And thank you for saving my soul."
"Well you did save my ass a few times if I recall, so that seems fair." She gave Prue a weak smile. "I love you."
"I love you to baby girl." Prue pulled her into a hug as Piper, Paige and Leo came in the room.

"Prue. You ready?" Leo questioned but knew that this was hard time for all of them. Letting her go; again.

Prue got up from the bed and took in her three little sisters. "I will always watch out for you three. Know that I love you forever and one day I'll see you again. They can't keep me away forever you know." she reached over at Leo's hand and gave them all a weak smile as he took her to her rightful place, with her family.

Phoebe leaned her head against Piper as she felt Pipers arms around her waist.
"You ok?"
"Yeah, tired from almost dying."
"And?" Piper pushed. She wanted her sister to talk to her.
"Its just weird. It's like I lost them both all over again."

Piper pulled her into a hug and felt Paige's arms wrap around the two of them. Seeing Prue and losing her again, had brought back memories for the older two. But they all knew that together they would make it through.
"I love you guys." Phoebe spoke softly afraid of her own voice as the tears ran freely.
"Me too." Piper said a she tighten her grip on Phoebe.
"Me three." Paige echoed making them all let out a little laugh.

Prue looked down from her Mother's side. "They're going to be ok Mum."

Patty placed her arm around Prues waist and pulled her close. "Yes they will sweetie, yes they will. You raised two of them strong and they will pass that on to Paige, and together they will be ok."

The two of them stood there watching their girls laugh and cry together. Caring for each other now as they would in the future. Till one day they were all together again guiding the next generation of Warren witches.

The end
