Peter Halliwell followed his older sister up the steps, bracing himself mentally for what would happen next. He knew Prue wouldn't be happy to see Phoebe. She was going to be even more upset when she found out he was the one who had picked her up. He knew it didn't matter much in the long run, but Prue just got this look that made him feel like he was the scum of the earth. Maybe she would be too busy looking at Phoebe that way to pay attention to him.

"Surprise!"

Phoebe had only said one word, and he could already feel the tension in the room. After the girls said their hellos, Prue's eyes went straight to him. There was that look.

"You knew about this?"

He avoided looking at her, instead looking at Piper, giving her a 'please help me!' look. Piper took the cue.

"Hey, I have a great idea. Why don't I make a fabulous reunion dinner?"

"I'm not hungry," Prue said, walking away.

"I ate on the bus," Phoebe said, doing the same, though in the opposite direction.

"Okay," Piper called after them. "We'll try the group hug later."

Peter slipped an arm around her, squeezing her shoulder.

"I think you need one now."

"Pete, what are we going to do with them?"

He thought back to what Grams said a few years ago, back when she told him where he really came from and the true nature of the family he'd been adopted into. She unbound his powers with her witchcraft only because he needed to learn control before his sisters. His sisters were the Charmed Ones, and he needed to be ready for the day when they would receive their powers...which would probably be tonight.

"We just keep them from killing each other and hope for the best."

Author note: Clark's name here not only goes along with the Halliwell tradition of names starting with P, it is also in honor of Pete Ross.
