Four months later:

Piper picked up baby Chris still marbeling at how fast he was growing, not to mention little Marie. She looked over as Prue finished zipping up her baby's jumper.

"You ready?" Piper asked as she saw Prue lift Marie in to her arms. It was hard to believe she was already four months old.

"Yeah. You?"

"As I ever will." Piper lifted up the car seat with Chris safely secure inside. "This seems weird."

Prue didn't say anything. Ever since Phoebe had come back to life she had remained in a dream of her sisters waking up. They had moved Phoebe to a long care facility a few months ago and still there was no sign of her waking. "It's for the best Piper."

"I know." Piper agreed, as she ran her hand over the top of Marie's head. "You remind me so much of her baby."

Prue looked at her daughter and saw what Piper did. She was holding Phoebe in her arms, and it was something she saw every day she looked at her daughter. The one that her own sister brought to life for her. "She'll probably turn out as much a free spirited too, knowing my luck."

"Oh you loved it Prue, and so what if she does. Phoebe can teach her all the things she did to drive you nuts." Piper laughed as she started out the door, leaving Prue hoping.

Prue looked at her daughter, "I hope she does." She placed a kiss on the top of Marie's head before following Piper out the door.

Prue had ridden with Phoebe the day the moved her from the hospital to the long care facility where hopefully, one day, Phoebe would get better enough to come out of her coma and see the beautiful baby she brought into the word. Prue still recalled the day as if it was yesterday.

Visiting their sister now and getting the kids down for a nap, Prue and Piper just spent time talking to Phoebe. Hoping she could hear them as all the experts said she could.

"You should have seen Prue and that demon Phoebs. You would have been proud the way she came up with that spell so fast."

"It was self preservation Piper. Total fluke trust me."

"Still. Dust in an instant it was great." Piper laughed as Prue tried to play down what she did.

They had all remarked on how lucky they had been ever since Phoebes accident. Demons had come and gone, but as of yet nothing real serious that would require The Power of Three.

"Leo says the underworld is still in chaos after the Source died."

"Twice." Piper added, only to get a glare from Prue. The last thing that they wanted to talk to Phoebe about was the death of her husband Cole. Even if he had consumed the powers of the Source and become him, it had taking their sister with him for awhile.

"So you should have seen Chris the other day. He was pushing himself up and rolling all over the place."

"Yeah and right into Marie. Who was not very happy with her cousin." Prue laughed as she looked over at the sleeping babies in the playpen.

They stayed and talked for over an hour when Piper had to leave. "Prue I'll see you home for dinner?"

"Yeah I should be there around six. I have Marie's doctors appointment."

"Ok I'll see you then. Love you." Piper leaned down and placed a kiss on Phoebe forehead, "I love you too baby girl. Come back to us."

"She will never listen to you mother. She hardly did growing up."

"Patty those girls listened to me."

"Mother, Phoebe spent most of her life rebelling against you and Prue."

"She needed you Patty. Even I knew that." Penny softened as she watched her granddaughters in the small room. "Go talk to her Patty."

"Do you mind if I try?"

They both turned to the new voice that had joined them at Phoebes side.

"You!?"

"Look I know I am not the most popular person to even ask, but we shared something once. And I think deep inside we still do. If it doesn't work you two can try and I'll never bother her again."

Penny looked at her own daughter before waving him on.

--- ----

She lay back in the grass looking up at the blue sky. Everything seemed so peaceful. Though every now and then she could have sworn she heard voices.

"They miss you Phoebe." He walked through the field.

She sat up and glared at him, "Cole? What are you doing here?"

"Just came to talk is all. Thats it. No hidden meaning. Actually went and talked to your Mum and Grams first. Even asked for permission."

"Yeah go away." She got up and started to walk away from him, "You never asked me."

"Because I knew you would say no. Look Phoebe I just want to talk to you."

"Cole haven't you done enough to me. You turned me against my own sisters. You made me choose between you and them."

"And for that I will forever be sorry. I should have never tried that. Your bond and love it was strong. You guys need each other."

"What do you know?"

"I know that your sister are missing you. That they need you in their lives right now. You can not just leave them like this. Phoebe." He reached out and grabbed her arm twisting her around to face him, "They love you isn't that enough. Look, I know choosing between them and me was not easy. And I know losing our baby to a demon fight was harder still. But you have a chance Phoebe, don't through it away. Sure you are hurt from the accident but your sisters will help you through it. You just need to give them a chance. It's their choice now. To help you. Like you helped Prue."

Phoebe pulled her arm away and glared at him more, "What the hell do you know of our love for each other and our need for each other?"

"Plenty Phoebe. Remember. I tried to destroy you three on more then one occasion before I realized I loved you. Your bond is why demons can't beat you." He shot back, "But that is not why I am here Phoebe. I am here because you need to get back to them. This is not what you were meant for. You and them are meant for much better things. And I will keep hounding you until you get it through your thick skull that you belong with your sisters."

Phoebe stepped away from him, sisters. That was what she was missing there. She looked around and realized then how long she had been in that same grass field looking up at that same blue sky. Nothing ever changed. A bird might fly past her once in awhile but other then that it remained the same. But as Cole mentioned her sisters she started to really remember what she was missing in her life. "Prue…"

"And Piper." He had stepped up to her as she started to recall fleeting images in her mind. "They need you Phoebe." His hand rested gently on her shoulder before he too was gone from her world.

"Prue? Piper?" the words twisted in her mind and suddenly her world started to change. She looked up to see black clouds rolling in and the first spatter of raindrops landing on her face. She had no where to run to. No shelter insight, as the rains became harder beating down on her body and mind.

"No. no.no.no" her mind shouted for it to stop. She wanted her paradise back. "No where is it going." It was washing away like a wet painting caught outside in the weather.

Prue sat feeding her daughter as she watched Phoebe sleep. For to her that was what her sister was doing; sleeping. And she knew deep down that one day she would wake up.

"What you say Marie? You want to hold on to Auntie Phoebs hand for awhile?" Prue rested her baby on the bed with her sister. Taking Phoebes hand and placing it on Marie's. She smiled as she watched her two babies. But as she held on to Marie and Phoebe she stopped smiling. "Phoebe?" Prue quickly lifted Marie from the bed and held on to Phoebes hand. She was certain it had moved a moment a ago, or was she wishful thinking. But there it was again. "Phoebe? Come on baby, you can do it again. Come on sweetie come back to me. To us." She reached for the buzzer and pushed the button down holding it in place in hopes it would make someone come faster.

"Ms Halliwell? What's wrong?"

"She moved."

"Prue." The nurse stepped in the room. She had seen the sisters with Phoebe for months now, and didn't want to get her hopes up. "The doctor explained..."

"I don't care what he explained, get him here NOW she moved her hand."

It was then the nurse looked at Phoebe and saw it as Prue felt it again. "Oh my God." She quickly ran out of the room in search of Phoebes doctor.
