Finally I am updating! Let me tell you I am in love with this new internet connection! It may even influence me to update more.
Everyone was sitting at the table eating. Prue sat uncomfortably in her chair.
"I'm going to go walk around" Prue said. "Sitting here is very uncomfortable"
"I'll come with you" Andy said.
"No, you stay here with the kids" Prue said.
Prue stood up went into the conservatory. She paced back and forth.
"Oww" Prue said quietly, leaning over. "Oh, can't you wait until your cousins and siblings are sleeping?"
"Talking to them never helps" Patty said coming in the room.
"I noticed" Prue said standing back up. "I figure basing this on this baby's siblings; I have about five hours before I give birth"
"At least the kids will be in bed" Patty said.

1:00 AM that night or morning, whatever you consider it.
"This is your fault!" Prue shouted at Andy.
"Good thing Dad and Amy are asleep in mine and Ryan's room" Phoebe said.
"She has entered her blaming me stage" Andy mumbled.
"She's only five centimeters" Piper said.
"Are you kidding me?" Prue asked panting. "I feel like I did when I was nine centimeters with the twins"
"How about I get you another washcloth" Phoebe said getting up.
"Mom!" Leila yelled from downstairs. "Can you some here a sec!"
Phoebe went downstairs and saw Leila fighting off a demon.
"He just appeared out of no where and my powers are not working" Leila said.
Leila and Phoebe ducked a fireball.
"Okay, find a way to get Piper down here without letting Prue know" Phoebe said. "Tell Mom and Andy to distract her"
"Got it" Leila said running for the stairs.
Leila stopped when she got to Prue's room. Prue was in the middle of a contraction and Piper looked at Leila. Leila mouthed demon to Piper.
"Hey, I don't know where Phoebe went so I'm going to go get you that washcloth" Piper said.
Andy looked from Piper to Leila.
"That would be a good idea" Andy said catching on.
Piper left the room and she and Leila came downstairs. Phoebe was now battling three demons.
"More keep on appearing" Phoebe said.
Leo orbed in.
"We have a problem" Leo said.
"Fighting demons at one in the morning with my pregnant sister in labor upstairs isn't a problem?" Piper asked.
"There's a bigger one" Leo said. "Demons, a lot of demons, in the city"
"Why?" Phoebe asked ducking another fireball attempt by a demon.
"There's some power struggle" Leo said. "And both good and evil are freaking out"
"The Elder's need you to go stop them from harming people" Leo said.
"But Prue's in labor" Piper said.
"I know but people are in trouble" Leo said.
"Fine" Piper said. "Let's go"
"We should bring Paige" Phoebe said.
Piper finally finished off the last demon.
"Prue's going to suspect something" Piper said.
"I know but we're going to need Paige" Phoebe said.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
FIVE HOURS LATER.
"Everyone except you three and the kids are gone, what's going on?" Prue asked.
"Nothing except for the fact that you've been in labor for the last twelve hours" Andy said.
"Thanks, I never would've noticed" Prue said sarcastically. "I mean, what demon is it this time?"
"One that you don't need to worry about" Patty said. "They'll be fine"
"Well the only person here who can deliver a baby is Grams and you're not delivering my baby" Prue said.
"I'm glad to see you have trust in me" Penny said.
"It's not a matter of trust, it's a matter of what a woman's grandmother is never supposed to see" Prue said.
"Darling, you don't have anything I haven't seen before" Grams said.
"Oh, ew, I didn't want to hear that" Prue said covering her ears. "Son of a…"
Prue gripped Andy's hand tightly. After the contraction ended Prue looked up at Andy.
"Go check on the kids" Prue said. "I'm just going to try to sleep for a while and so should all of you"
"I'm not going to be able to sleep" Andy said. "And what if you need me?"
"Then I'm sure you'll hear me screaming" Prue said. "Go to bed, Mom or Grams can stay with me"
"I'll stay with her" Patty said. "She's right, you need to sleep"
"I'll be on the couch downstairs" Andy said.
Prue bit her lip in pain. A few minutes later Penny checked to see how far along she was.
"Five centimeters" Penny said. "Prudence, your water needs to break before this labor can progress"
"It's been twelve hours!" Prue exclaimed.
"Prue, calm down" Patty said. "Focus on me"
Prue kept her eyes shut.
"It hurts" Prue said.
"I know it hurts" Patty comfortingly. "It will be over soon"
Patty sat on the bed and took Prue's hand. Victor knocked on the door.
"Can we come in?" Victor asked.
"Go ahead" Prue said tired.
Victor opened the door and he and Amy came in.
"How are you doing?" Victor asked.
"I've been better" Prue said tired. "Is Andy sleeping?"
"Yeah" Victor said.
He went and sat on the other side of Prue.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
IN THE CITY.
"Where did all of these demons come from?" Piper asked.
"I think the more important question is why are they here" Paige said.
Phoebe thought for a second.
"Doesn't it seem like they're trying to keep us busy?" Phoebe asked.
"What's your point?" Piper asked.
"I was thinking" Phoebe said. "You can't have a baby anymore, I can't have a baby, and Prue and Andy don't want anymore after this. That means this is the last Halliwell baby to be born in this generation"
"Which means this baby completes everything" Piper said. "We have to get back to the manor"
Leo orbed everyone back. They went up to Prue's room.
"Is everything okay?" Patty asked.
"We're not sure" Phoebe said.
"What does that mean?" Prue asked worried.
"Well…we think we know why there's all these demons" Piper said.
"Why?" Prue asked.
"We're not sure if this is completely why the demons are here" Paige said.
"Just tell me!" Prue exclaimed.
"Why don't all of you discuss this downstairs" Amy said. "Prue you're having a hard enough time as it is"
"We'll stay with her" Victor said.
"No, Mom stays" Prue said. "Everyone stays"
"Okay magical problems aside" Penny said. "Prue, can you try to walk around just a little?"
"I don't know" Prue said.
Patty and Victor helped Prue stand up.
"We're going to have her walk up and down the hallway for a minute" Patty said.
"Ow, ow, ow" Prue said.
"And there goes her water" Paige said disgusted.
"Maybe we won't take you for walk" Patty said.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
15 HOURS LATER.
Prue laid exhausted and sweaty on her bed.
"I just want to sleep" Prue said exhausted.
"You're ten centimeters" Penny said. "Who do you want to deliver the baby?"
"I don't care" Prue said. "Just get this damn thing out of me!"
"I'll do it" Penny said. "Ryan and Leo can make sure no demons interrupt. Okay Prudence, on your next contraction I want you to push. Ready, push"
Prue grabbed Andy's hand and pushed. Soon three hours had passed by.
"I can't do this!" Prue cried.
"Yes you can, Prue" Phoebe said. "Just a few more pushes"
"Come on Prue" Andy said. "Ready, push"
Prue pushed with all her strength.
"One more, Prue" Patty said. "Just one more and you can see your baby"
Prue gathered her remaining energy and pushed. The room filled with an aqua light.
"Congratulations" Penny said. "It's a girl"
Prue started crying, half out of happiness and half out of exhaustion. Penny cleaned the baby off. Piper opened the door and called Mary and Amy back into the room.
"It's a girl" Andy said proudly.
"What's her name?" Victor asked.
"I think I'll let Prue tell you" Andy said. "But I'll give you a hint, we're breaking our tradition"
"It's not an A name or a P one" Prue said.
"Well what is it?" Paige asked.
"Lily" Prue said. "Lily Paige Trudeau"
Paige smiled.
"Really?" Paige asked.
"Well I figured she's not going to get to see you as often as her other aunts" Prue said. "It's only fair she remembers you in another way"
Prue held Lily, who was crying, in her arms.
"You didn't want to come out, did you" Prue said.
The exhaustion was clear in Prue's voice.
"So it's midnight, exactly" Phoebe said. "That's really weird"
"I think we should all go to bed" Mary said. "You two are probably exhausted"
Ava, Andrea, and Aidan ran into the room.
"Is the baby here?" Aidan asked. "Is it a boy?"
"Hey you guys, come over here and meet your new sister" Andy said.
"It's another girl?" Aidan asked.
Everyone fought back laughing.
"Yeah, but just think, now you have a little sister to protect" Prue said.
The kids crowded around Andy, Prue, and Lily.
"She's okay I guess" Aidan said reluctantly.
Prue and Andy smiled.
"Can I still teach her sports?" Aidan asked.
"When she's older" Andy said. "Right now you guys should go back to sleep"
"Mommy, are you okay?" Ava asked.
"I'm just tired" Prue said.
"Why doesn't everyone get some sleep" Piper said.
"We'll stay with Mommy and Daddy" Ava said.
"Girls…"
"Its okay, Piper" Prue said cutting her off. "They can stay here, for tonight"
Piper nodded.
"We have to go" Patty said.
Patty kissed Prue's forehead.
"Bye Prue" Patty said. "I love you"
"Bye Mom" Prue said. "I love you too"
Paige hugged Prue gently.
"Take care of yourself, big sis" Paige said smiling.
Prue smiled.
"You" Prue said. "Are very bossy"
"I learn from the best" Paige said.
Everyone laughed.
"You did very well" Penny said. "I couldn't be prouder"
"We couldn't be prouder" Phoebe said. "This is the last time everyone will be here for this"
"Well, the last time in this generation" Paige said. "The next time we're all here might be with your girls"
"Don't say that" Andy said. "They're not dating until they're married"
Prue smiled weakly.
"You need to go to sleep" Piper said. "Thirty hours of labor makes anyone exhausted"
Piper cleared everyone out of the room. Prue laid her head against Andy's chest.
"Here, I'll put Lily in her crib" Andy said.
Prue yawned and handed Lily to Andy. Andy put Lily in her crib and changed into his pajamas. When he came back out, the kids and Prue were already fast asleep. Andy smiled and squeezed into bed.
