A Whole New Charmed
Chapter 3
A/N: Ok, so here's the next chapter...I tried putting it up a while ago, but for some reason the site wouldn't let me...sorry about the wait, guys! Enjoy!
"Piper, what do you mean? A family emergency, are you kidding me?" Phoebe said into the speaker of her desk phone. She was at work, trying to meet a deadline.
"Yes, Pheebs. It's a family emergency. I put emphasis on "family". " Piper gritted her teeth; she was hoping that she would never have to use those words again.
"But I thought we wouldn't be having these kind of "family emergencies"…you know, since everything that's happened…shoot." Phoebe dropped the receiver as she spilled coffee on her shirt.
"Well, it's a special kind of emergency, Okay. Listen, I just need you to come to the manor asap…" Piper was clutching at straws now. She knew she shouldn't have said those 2 words. The ones they never wanted to hear again.
"Ok, fine. I'll be there as soon as I can. Love you." Phoebe hung up the phone.
Piper dialled Paige's new home number, knowing that her youngest sister would be more receptive to her plan. Unfortunately she got the answering machine.
"Hi, you've reached Paige and Henry, we're not here to take your call right now, but please leave a message after the tone and we'll get back to you as soon as we can." The tone rang out, cueing Piper to leave her message.
"Hey, it's me…you know, that old sis of yours. Um, we have a thing to discuss…so, could you just call me when you get this. Bye." Piper hung up the phone once again and walked into the conservatory, observing Prue playing with Wyatt and Chris.
"When's Phoebe getting here?" Prue asked her, brushing her hair from her laughing face. Piper hadn't told her about Paige yet, she thought that maybe Prue should get over the shock of knowing that she was going to die soon before she found out that after her death they find a replacement and the Charmed ones are reconstituted.
"She's leaving the office now." Piper replied. Prue nodded, obviously needing to say something else.
"Piper, when I died…did you try to bring me back?"
Piper let her breath out slowly, taking a moment to answer the question. It was still so surreal for her to be talking to Prue face to face again.
"Yeah, I tried everything." She answered simply.
"I would have done the same for you, you know." Prue reached over and held Piper's hand. "But you have to know that I die- I passed away because it was my time and that was for the greater good."
"Yeah, I know that now." Piper smiled at her big sister, "But it still doesn't make up for losing you. I cried myself to sleep for so long, Prue…It was so hard…" Prue embraced Piper and they cried together until Wyatt orbed a tissue box their way, making them laugh.
"That kid of yours really has control on those powers."
"Yeah, I know." Piper grinned, "I wish you could have seen what he could do from inside the womb."
"Me too."
"Prue, there's something I have to tell you." Piper thought she might as well tell her now, "After you died…"
