Paige was startled awake at the scream that shook the Manor. Sitting up she reached for her robe as she got out of bed and made her way to her door. She knew that it had been Phoebe screaming and she knew that Piper would be there for her. But she also wanted Phoebe to know that she would also be there for her, as Phoebe had been for her. Phoebe welcomed her to the family with little hesitation. She knew it was hard for her, but she had. And Paige wanted to repay her for her kindness

As she approached Phoebes room she could her the voices from within. She paused when she realized that she thought she heard three voices in the room. As she stepped forward she was nearly overwhelmed by what she saw before her. She froze in her steps as she looked at the one sister she never thought she would ever meet. She witnessed the love and compassion that Prue held for Phoebe as she held her in her arms.

As the minutes ticked by she still had not moved and non-of her sisters realized she was standing in the doorway. As she watched Prue calm Phoebe down she took a hesitant step forward not sure what to say to Prue or what Prue would say to her. Not knowing the house as the other three girls, as she stepped forward quietly the floor squeaked under her weight. Stopping immediately, though to late as all three looked towards her.

No words were spoken as Paige looked into Prues eyes. Seen again the love that she held for her sisters.

"Prue. We would like for you to meet your sister. Paige." Phoebe said as she got control of her sobs.

Neither sister moved after Phoebes introduction. Prue slowly stood from the bed and turned to face Paige. Like her mother months before Prue opened her arms to Paige. Hesitating a moment Paige stepped into the warm hug that was offered by her oldest sister.

Phoebe snuggled into Piper, as she rested her head on her sisters' shoulder, as they watched the scene before them. "Piper."

"Yeah sweetie?" she asked not taking her eyes off Prue and Paige together.

Phoebe paused a moment before asking what was on her mind, "Am I dreaming? Or is she really back." She finally managed to whisper out.

Piper looked down at Phoebe and kissed the top of her head, "She's really here sweetie. She's really here." Piper whispered back though trying to hold in her tears.


They all crowed onto Phoebes bad as the hours of the morning ticked by. To Prues left was Paige, leaning against the sister she thought she would never see or meet. To Prues right was Phoebe, cuddling against the sister she thought she would never see again. And across Prues lap, Piper rested her head, realizing that her big sister was back and enjoying the moment they could have now. For only she and Prue knew that it would not last forever.

That was where Leo and Cole had found them later that morning. Four sisters relishing in the love they shared.

"Why do they keep doing this?" Cole asked hiding her fury at the Elders.

"What?"

"Giving them false hope. You and I both know that Prue is not going to be aloud to stay. This is going to tear Phoebe apart all over again."

"I don't know Cole, but there must be a reason. Or they wouldn't have sent her." Leo explained as he placed his hand on the former demon shoulder, "Come on let's give them some time."


As always, Prue was the first to wake. She looked down at each of her sisters. Remembering each moment that she had shared with them. And the moment she had shared briefly with Paige last night.

As she watched her sisters' sleep she felt eyes on her as well. Knowing where they were coming from she met the yes that were starring back at her. "Morning."

"Hi."

"What, no good morning for your big sister?" Prue asked feigning innocents

"No. I mean yeah. I mean. Oh I don't know."

"Honey its ok." Prue tried to explain

"Is it? Your going again aren't you?" she asked quietly.

Prue looked down into her sisters' big brown eyes, "Yeah Phoebe. I am. I can't stay."

"Why? Why did you even come then?" Phoebe raised her voice as she pulled away from Prues arm that had been wrapped around her. She stood from the bed now not even caring who she woke in the process. "This is my punishment isn't it? I left you and Piper to deal with Shax and now they are punishing me."

Prue stood up from the bed and faced her sister, "No, Phoebe that is not why I'm here. I'm here to get you off the thoughts that my dying was your fault." Prue argued back.

"Oh really. Well it was Prue. Once again your baby sister screwed up. I went down to save Cole, and you and Piper were exposed. Then when Piper was killed I made a deal with the Source to turn back time. I thought I could save her, but all I did was get you killed. I saved one sister and lost the other one." She argued to her sister as tears ran down her face.

"Phoebe you can't believe that." Piper chimed in as she sat up on the bed looking at her sisters.

"What else is there to believe Piper? I saved you and in the end Prue died."

Piper stood up and went to Phoebe, taking her hands in hers. "Phoebe listen to me." She stated

Phoebe tried to look and pull away from her sister but Piper held fast, "No Phoebe, you are going to listen to me." She said as she pulled Phoebe to look into her eyes. "None of this was your fault Phoebe. Prue dying that day was written long before any of us were even born. You and I where meant to take the path we are on with Paige. Now I am not saying that this is a good thing. We lost someone we love very much. But honey we have to move on. I know it's hard. I've been through it."

"Then how could you ask me to? How can you stand there and ask me to let her go. To move on." Phoebe yelled meeting Pipers gaze.

"Phoebe I'm not asking you to let her go. I'm asking you to realize that this is not your fault." Piper told her still trying to maintain her hold on her sister. But Phoebe was stronger and pulled herself away from Piper.

"It was Piper. I let you both down like I always do. Our sister is DEAD. Why? Because I went down there to save a demon. A demon Piper. Our sister died, because I was off helping the one thing that we were supposed to be fighting against. How can you stand there and tell me it was not my fault?" Phoebe yelled back as tears started to escape. "She died because I let her down." She cried out as she looked from Piper to Prue. "You died. You died because of me." She said calming slightly.

Paige had woken and watched as Phoebe argued with Prue and Piper. She knew that this was something that the three of them had to work out so she just listened and watched. She had a feeling that Phoebe was still hiding something, she just wasn't sure what.

Prue looked at her baby sister and her heart went out here. She reached to Phoebe only to have her pull back.

"I just need some time Prue. I'm sorry." Phoebe looked at her big sister with tears falling freely, before walking out of the room.
