Chp. 13

That night, Prue just sat on her bed staring at Cole's bassinet. She hadn't left her room at all and she knew she would have to face her sisters soon. She just wasn't sure how she was supposed to face Paige and be happy for her when she couldn't even smile. Cole started to cry so Prue picked him up and rocked him back to sleep.

"Shhh honey it's okay mommy's here. I know it's hard honey but we're gonna get through it, me and you," Prue cried to her son. Cole started to quiet down upon hearing these words. Suddenly a small figure began to emerge from the dark shadows of her bedroom.

"Wyatt?" Prue asked but no one answered. Prue leaned over to check the time, it read 11:03. Of course it's not Wyatt! Prue thought to herself scolding herself for being so stupid. "Who's there?" Prue asked again. The figure began to move into the light of the window so Prue could see her. Prue recognized her right away, the distinctive raven hair, the fair skin and the deep blue grey eyes. But how? Prue asked herself. Suddenly the figure began to speak in barely a whisper.

"Mommy?" it asked. A tear fell from Prue's eye. It couldn't be her it just couldn't! That's impossible you're just hallucinating! Prue began to tell herself. Finally she gathered enough courage to speak.

"Peyton?" Prue asked as the figure advanced towards her. Prue's voice was barely a whisper as well.

"Mommy it's me, it's Pey-Pey," the voice said excitedly. Prue rested Cole back in his bassinet and welcomed her daughter into her arms, a place where she hadn't been for a while. Prue held her tight. She wasn't going to lose her baby girl again. Prue then called for her sisters who ran into Prue's room alarmed. Piper was the first to notice her niece's figure in Prue's arms.

"Is that..." her voice tailed off as Prue nodded and a tear fell from her eye. The sisters just stared for a moment.

"Is that my little brother?" Peyton asked suddenly pointing to the sleeping baby in the bassinet. Prue nodded. Finally Prue couldn't stand it anymore.

"Peyton, honey, what happened to you?" Prue asked her daughter trying to come over as gentle as possible.

"I just fell asleep for a long time and then when I woke up a tall man brought me here. He was really nice and held my hand when I got scared, just like you do. Daddy was there too. I didn't want to leave him but he told me that I was supposed to. I was supposed to come back here to you mommy," Peyton said looking up to Prue whose eyes were filled with tears. Prue pulled her daughter in close and sobbed harder. All of a sudden a figure appeared in front of Prue, one that Prue had seen upon many occasions.

"Hello Prue," the figure said looking her in the eye. Prue just glared at him. It didn't matter how much he tried to explain it to her, she still hated him. He took everything from her and she hated him for it. She hated the angel of death.

"Mommy, that's the nice man!" Peyton said pointing at him. He smiled back at her.

"What do you want with me now? Haven't you put me through enough?" Prue asked trying to hold back the tears welling up inside her.

"Prue, who is that?" Piper and Paige asked their sister, "how do you know him?"

"He's an acquaintance I suppose," Prue answered her sisters smoothly. They stared back at her with questioning faces.

"He's the angel of death!" Prue practically screamed. Her sisters' eyes widened.

"You can't take her!" they screamed.

"Stupid witches, I'm not here for you sister, I'm here on other business," the angel of death said firmly.

"Well care to explain," Piper said cockily.

"It's your niece," he said looking directly at Peyton. Prue flinched a little and gestured for her sisters to take her daughter elsewhere so she could talk. Paige caught it quick and walked over to pick up her niece.

"Hi Auntie Paige, I missed you!" Peyton said wrapping her aunt in a warm hug. A tear fell from her eye as she carried the little girl out of the room and down the stairs to the kitchen. As soon as the door was closed Prue began to speak.

"What do you want with her? Can't one thing go right in my life?!" Prue cried.

"I'm not taking anyone of you with me, especially not your daughter."

"Then what the hell do you want?"

"I've come to give you an explanation for your daughter's sudden appearance after being pronounced dead for nearly a year."

"One year, 5 weeks, 3 days 12 hours and 1 minute," Prue said looking to the floor. He just stared at her with wide eyes.

"Of all your losses this one has been the hardest for you hasn't it?" Prue just nodded fighting back tears.

"She's my own flesh and blood how do you deal with losing that? I carried her for 9 months and raised her for almost 4 years. You can't just forget something like that." A tear fell from her eyes and she brushed it away quickly. "Anyway we are not here to talk about my pain, go on."

"Well your husband was given an offer before he died, not too long after your daughter's death."

"He never said anything."

"Of course he didn't. He was a caring father and husband and knew better than to trouble you even more especially in your condition at the time being pregnant and all."

"What was the deal?" Prue asked angrily. She was rather angry that Cole hadn't told her. It could have saved his life. The angel of death went on.

"It was Peyton's life...in exchange for his."

"Why would he make this decision without me I mean he could have waited until after his son was born. I wouldn't have been in that condition then."

"Ah ah I'm not finished. As always there's always a catch. See your husband had until the birth of your son, to make a decision. Now let me ask you this question, would you have been able to choose between your daughter and your husband?" Prue just stared to the floor. What the hell kinda question was that?

"The truth," he said carrying on, "is that you wouldn't have and I know that just as much as you do. I don't think it was really Cole's plan to agree to the bargain the way he did, but either way a deal is a deal which is why you have been blessed with your daughter, yet again." Prue just stared at him, her eyes filled with sadness and pain. He stared back at her for a moment then looked to his watch and smiled.

"Well good-bye Prudence, I will see you again very soon," he said as he disappeared. Prue watched then broke down into sobs. Piper walked in from the hall. She had been listening to the whole conversation and knew her sister needed her now more than ever.

"Come here honey," Piper said pulling her sister in close. Prue sobbed harder.

"Pi-per...it's...all...my...fault...that...Cole's...gone," Prue said in between sobs in her sister's shoulder. "I'm...so...selfish!"

"Honey, no you're not, you just wanted your daughter back and so did Cole. I would have felt the exact same way if I ever lost Wyatt. That was Cole and only Cole's decision and he loved you enough not to make you have to go through the pain of choosing between him and Peyton honey you have to believe that," Piper said stroking Prue's hair and wiping overflowing tears from Prue's face.

"I know he only did it because he loved me but it still hurts so much." Prue started to cry again. She really hadn't let it out like this since his death and it felt good to finally get it out of her system.

"Shhh honey it's okay I'm here for you."

"I know you are and I love you for it. Thank-you," Prue said. Prue heard her daughter's giggles form down stairs. She hadn't heard those for a long time and desperately wanted to hear them now but she just couldn't bring herself to terms with the fact that her little girl really was alive again. Prue knew she wasn't in any shape to see her daughter right now either so she just stayed in the comfort of her sister's arms where she stayed for what felt like hours. She had no idea what she would do without her sisters, they really were her everything.
