You're all probably sick of excuses so I'll leave you with two words, writer's block.
Prue and Andy appeared back in the attic. Leila was now standing there with a crying Lily and Victor was with the other girls.
"Would you please explain why she won't stop screaming?" Leila asked. "Victor, Leo, and I have been trying to quiet her down"
"She's probably hungry" Andy said. "You haven't fed her in a while, Prue"
"I thought I put bottles in the fridge" Prue said.
"There aren't" Andy said.
Prue took Lily from Leila's arms.
"Shh" Prue said. "It's okay"
"Mommy, where's Aidan?" Andrea asked.
"We're going to get him soon" Andy said. "In fact, Aunt Piper and Aunt Phoebe need your help"
Andy looked at Prue.
"Prue, I'm going to take them to your sisters" Andy said.
"And I'm going to come with you" Prue said.
"No" Andy said. "You're tired, you're weak, and you have to feed Lily"
"I also have a son to find" Prue said.
"For god's sake Prue will you let someone help you for once?!? You're going to get yourself killed if you go down there!" Andy exclaimed.
"Don't yell at me for wanting to go save our son!" Prue exclaimed.
"But you know that we wouldn't be keeping you here if we didn't think that we couldn't find him using the girls" Andy said.
"You know what? Go with the girls and save him since apparently I'm not needed anymore!" Prue exclaimed.
Prue walked out of the attic and went to her room with Lily. Andy heard the door to their bedroom slam shut.
"You should go" Victor said. "I'll talk to Prue"
"The girls should be able say the spell if you have them repeat you" Leila said. "I'm going to go fill Leo in"
Andy nodded. They girls recited the spell with him and they disappeared. Leila picked Caitlyn up off the floor.
"Okay girls, let's go find Uncle Leo so we can fill him in" Leila said.
Leila left the attic and the girls followed. Victor sighed and went down to Prue's room. He knocked on her door.
"Prue?" he asked.
"I'm feeding Lily" Prue said.
"I'll wait" Victor said.
"It might be a while" Prue said.
Victor waited until Prue said he could come in. He opened the door.
"If you're here to talk about what happened in the attic, then you shouldn't have waited. I'm sorry you had to witness that but I don't want to talk about it" Prue said.
She still held Lily in her arms but now Lily was dozing off.
"I can't believe him" Prue muttered.
"Can't believe that he what, doesn't want you to die?" Victor asked.
"Well what is my son going to think when his two aunts and his dad and his sisters are all there to save him but his mother is no where to be found?" Prue asked. "Just because I'm tired doesn't mean I stop looking for my son"
"But you're not just tired" Victor said. "You're so exhausted that your powers aren't functioning. You have such dark circles under your eyes that I'm scared you're going to fall over at any minute"
"What would you know?" Prue spat harshly. "You weren't around to know what being a parent meant!"
Lily started to cry.
"Damn it" Prue said.
She rocked Lily back and forth.
"I may not have been a good parent when you were a kid but right now I know you have a problem" Victor said. "And I am worried about you"

Andy had both of the twins' hands. He found Phoebe, Piper, and Ryan where he left them.
"Hey girls" Piper said. "What are the chances you can open these doors?"
Ava and Andrea looked at the door.
"Ready?" Ava asked.
Andrea nodded. They concentrated on the door. A gust of wind swept through the room and burst the doors open. Andy took the girls' hands and they walked out.
"He's somewhere over here" Andrea said.
"Aidan!" Ava shouted. "You don't have to hide no more!"
They heard whimpering from behind some boxes. Andy raced over and looked behind them. There sat a terrified Aidan.
"Aidan" Andy said relieved.
He picked him up and held him.
"I want mommy" Aidan cried.
"Let's go home" Andy said.
"Not so fast" the voice said. "I knew you would find him, thanks for doing my work for me"
Aidan disappeared and suddenly the doors to the building slammed shut. The girls tried opening with their elements but it didn't work.
"Try your telekinesis" Piper said.
The girls focused but it didn't work.
"Need help" Prue said appearing. "After all nothing's more powerful than a pissed off mom"
She avoided making eye contact with Andy.
"Piper on the count of three you're going to blow up the doors" Prue said. "The girls will use their elements and I'll use my telekinesis. Ready…one…two…three"
They focused their powers on the door and it shook.
"Again" Prue said.
They did it again and the doors flew open. Inside a beam of light was about to hit Aidan. Prue deflected it from Aidan.
"Phoebe, how well are you at impromptu vanquish spells?" Piper asked.
"Not very well" Phoebe said.
"We'll do this together" Piper said. "Prue you start"
"Umm, we call upon the power of three, to vanquish the evil we can't see" Prue began. "Um, Piper"
"This place you live is a child's hell, so down you go with this spell" Piper said.
"It's too bad you didn't do the math, there's nothing worse than a mother's wrath" Phoebe said.
Prue and Piper looked at Phoebe.
"So it wasn't my best" Phoebe said shrugging.
The ground of the place started to shake.
"No" the voice said. "You can't do this"
Prue ran over to Aidan and picked him up.
"Let's get out of here" Andy said.
They recited the spell and disappeared. They appeared back at the manor.
"Is it gone?" Leo asked.
Piper nodded.
"Good" Leo said.
"I'm going to go tell Leila" Ryan said. .
"She already put Caitlyn down" Leo said.
Ryan nodded and went to the basement.
"Patti is waiting for Aidan to come back" Leo said. "Faith tried to wait but she fell asleep"
"I'll take Aidan upstairs" Andy said. "Once Patti sees him I'll put him to bed"
Andy took Aidan from Prue's arms and went upstairs.
"Leo, why don't you go tell Victor Aidan's back and tell him to go home" Piper said. "Amy's probably wondering where he's at"
Leo nodded and went upstairs.
"Girls, let's go get ready for bed" Prue said.
"Prue, wait" Piper said.
"Yeah, we should talk" Phoebe said.
"I'll be up in a second" Prue said to the girls.
They went upstairs.
"We just want to say sorry" Piper said. "We shouldn't have sent you home"
"Even though you were extremely tired" Phoebe said.
"My kids needs come before mine, you should know that" Prue said.
"We do" Piper said. "But we don't want to see you get hurt, we would be lost without you, Prue"
"I'm not mad at you" Prue said. "You did what you thought was best"
Piper saw Victor about to go out the door.
"You better not be leaving without saying goodbye" Piper said.
Victor stopped.
"Of course not" Victor said.
He came into the room and hugged Piper.
"Bye Piper" Victor said.
He then went and hugged Phoebe.
"Bye Dad" Phoebe said.
He turned to Prue.
"I guess I'll see you guys later" Victor said.
He waited a second before leaving. Prue followed him put the door.
"Wait" Prue said. "I'm sorry what I said before, I didn't mean it…I was just upset"
"I'd like to believe that" Victor said. "But somewhere inside of you I know you meant what you said"
"It's different now" Prue said. "I already forgave you"
Victor nodded.
"But that doesn't mean you still didn't mean what you said" Victor said. "But you don't have to apologize because you're right…I wasn't a good parent"
"But I know you're trying to make up for it" Prue said.
It was quiet.
"I should go" Victor said. "I'll see all of you later"
Victor left. Prue turned around to go back to the conservatory. Andy was coming down the stairs still holding Aidan.
"He wants you" Andy said.
"I don't sleep in my bed" Aidan said scared.
"The monster's gone" Prue said. "We vanquished him"
"No sleep" Aidan said, holding out his arms for Prue to take him.
"I think Patti's still awake too" Andy said.
Prue nodded and took Aidan from Andy.
"You're getting too big for this" Prue said struggling to hold him. "Let's go sit in the rocking chair in the conservatory"
Prue started walking away from Andy.
"Prue, I'm sorry I yelled" Andy said. "I just didn't want you to get hurt"
"I know" Prue said. "I'm sorry too"
Andy kissed Prue's cheek.
"I think I'll just take Aidan up to our room" Prue said. "Can you tell Piper Patti's still awake?"
Andy nodded.
"I love you" Andy said.
"Love you too" Prue said.
About ten minutes later Andy came up and found Prue and Aidan already asleep. Prue had fallen asleep with her arms around Aidan and Aidan's head on her chest. Andy pulled the blankets over them and kissed their foreheads.

THE NEXT MORNING
Prue was awakened to the sound of yelling. She slowly got out of bed, careful not to wake Aidan. When she walked out of the room, Andy was already heading towards her.
"What's wrong?" Prue asked concerned.
"Leila's missing" Andy said.
Hope this chapter was worth the wait. I can't promise faster updates because I know it's going to take forever to get the next one typed. I'm just running out of ideas for this one but I'm too chicken to end it because I love the characters I've created. So if anyone has any ideas, feel free to share them. So hang in there guys, I'm bound to get a creative streak one of these days.
