The Power of Four- a new beginning

Death of a loved one, chapter sixteen

The rain was purring down from the skies in San Francisco that day. "It´s very fitting" Piper thought as she gave Pandora the black dress on. The little girl had only stopped crying then. She missed her father and didn't understand why he wasn't coming now as she was crying out for him. Daddy always came.

Piper kissed the girls raven colored hair and placed her on her hip. "There my angel girl. Now you´re all set" Pandora placed her head on Piper chest sniffling. "How on earth are we gonna survive this," Piper thought to herself sighting.

"How is Prue gonna survive?"

"Prue?" It was Phoebes voice entering her own little land in which nothing bad could ever happen. "Sweetie? Do you need anything?"

She was sitting in their bed, dressed in black with one of his fancy jackets in her arms. Sniffing it made it seem like it was all a bad dream and Prue couldn't handle the reality. Phoebe sighted and entered. "Prue? We need to go now. The funeral is about to start"

"I don´t wanna go," her voice was unsteady. "Because if I do go, then he´s really not coming back and I´ll be all alone with a little girl and I don't think I can handle that thought right now." Phoebe sat down besides her. "I know." She knew there was nothing she could say that would make this any better.

"I already lost Andy. How did this happen?" she asked tears running down her face. Prue looked up and gave Phoebe a sad smile. "You know," she paused. "He asked me to marry him just before he.." A sob escaped her and Phoebe felt her own tears begin. "Please Prue," she whispered. "I need you to do this. And if you can´t do it for me then for Pandora. She has no one. Her father is gone and her mother cant even look at her." Prue swallowed. Her girl. Her Pandora. She straighten up. She could do this. She had too. For Pandora.

"And if you cant do it for her," Phoebe continued. She didn't notice the change in Prue. "Then do it for Bane. Don't you think he would want you to came and say goodbye to him?" Prue nodded and stood up. "Let´s go then."

The church was beautiful. White flowers: roses, lilies, orchids and daisies are decorating the room. A white coffin stood up at the alter, covered with a decoration on white flowers. "I made them," Piper whispered at Paige. "Do you think he would have like them?" she asked. "I know he would." A voice said and Piper snapped around and gave her big sister a big hug. "I´m so sorry," she whimpered and Prue just nodded. "I know." She released her hand and slowly went up to the coffin.

She placed two roses on the coffin. "It´s from Pandora. And me of course. One from each," she whispered caressing the lit.

"Prue?" Paige placed her arms around the cold woman who also was her oldest sister. "We need to get seated. It´s starting."

"I don't want to," she whimpered and Paige swallowed her tears. "I know but I think we have too," she gently pushed Prue towards the bench where Piper and Phoebe sat.

Sitting down she followed the priest with her eyes and sat stone faced all through the ceremony.

Afterwards the closes family gathered to mourn Bane Jessup. Prue stood with her three sisters watching the casket and she gave a small smile to Pandora who was holding on to her uncle Kyle as tightly as she could.

"We should go," Piper whispered to Prue. "I don't want to," she said. Piper lifted her hands and suddenly time stopped. The two remaining sisters glared at her while Prue didn't seem to notice.

"I didn't do it," Piper exclaimed when a voice interrupted her.

"You know," a voice interrupted them making them all stiffen. "I don't think I have been to the same humans so many times before." The Angel if Destiny appeared in golden swirls and smiled. "I know you hate me right now, Prudence," he told her just as she opened her mouth to yell.

The Angel gestured towards the coffin in the room. "I didn't see this happen," he told her. With a wave of his hand Bane Jessup appeared in front of her and Prue felt the tears overflow as she raced to him. She threw herself into his waiting arms and kissed him hard. Piper sighted happily and Phoebe hugged Paige. After a sometime Prue pulled away from him and punched him. "How dare you!" she yelled. "How could you die just when you asked me to marry you?" Bane opened his mouth but a glare from Piper made him change his mind.

"You promised me," Prue continued, beginning to throw punches at him. "You promised me." Tears were flowing freely down her cheeks and Bane wanted to kill himself all over again as he saw the pain inside her eyes. "You promised me you wouldn't go away," she sobbed the last sentence out.

Bane pulled her into a hug but she struggled. "I know," Bane whispered to a struggling Prue. "I know and I´m so sorry" "That´s not good enough," Prue cried. "Please come back," she sobbed. "Please."

"I can´t," Bane was in tears too but a slight cough interrupted him. The Angel of Destiny came forward. "That is not true, actually," he said. "You see," he continued before Bane got to open his mouth. "You remember I took the powers of Belthazor and split them into two, right?" he asked the four women and Phoebe nodded grabbing on to her new husbands hand. "Is something gonna happen to him?" she asked, scared. The Angel hesitated. "Not exactly. You see, I can´t just make these powers go away." He stopped as he saw Prue open her mouth. "Normally I could but you see, I split the demon with one purpose and one only. So that the Charmed ones lovers always would have powers to protect them." He put extra pressure on the always.

"Why do you think Kyle became a whitelighter?" he turned to Paige. "Or why Cole turned good?" he asked Phoebe. "There has to be a balance. So now I stand with powers but I have nowhere to put them," the Angel said.

"So therefore I ask you, Prudence Halliwell: Do you want Bane Jessup back with you?" he asked. "Of course I do," Prue exclaimed but the Angel stopped her. "You see," he said. "There is another option." He waved his hands and in a swirl of light came.

"Andy?" Prue whispered and Andy blinked furiously. "What happened? Where the hell am I?"

"No," Prue whispered. "No! You can´t ask me to choose between them. Not between the father of my child and the love of my.." she stopped. And her face turned blank while the face of the Angel became sympatric.

Banes face was white. "He´s the love of your life?" he asked her quietly. "Still? Even though you agreed to marry me?" Prue shook her head only to start nodding. "I don't know," she cried at last. Bane took a step back and looked at Prue and then at Andy who was busy looking anywhere but Bane.

"And you love her too?" it was more a statement than a question. Andy nodded. "I´ll always love Prue. I told you that before." He said.

"Then I guess there is nothing more to say," Bane said quietly. "Bane, honey! No" Prue cried but Bane stopped her by placing a finger on her lips. He gave her a gentle smile. "I´m not mad, Prue. I´m not. I´m grateful for the time we had together and for the daughter we made out of love because it was a child of love. I know you love me too but I can´t stand here and take the one thing from you, you always would wish for." Bane explained. Prue felt the tears start again. He kissed her hard and Prues tears fell freely. Then he gave her a gentle smile and turned to Andy. "This time it´s my turn to say this. That care of her. Love her and never let her go again," he said to Andy who also had tears in his eyes.

"Love Pandora like she was your own and name your next girl something that will remind you of me." Then Bane turned to the Angel. "Give Andy Trudeau his life back and take mine." The Angel looked deep into his eyes and then nodded. "I´ll give you a few moments to say your goodbyes."'

With a wave of his hand Cole, Kyle, Leo, Phanessa, Phonix and Pandora unfroze. "What is going on?" Cole whispered to Phoebe. "Bane," he choked out. Bane gave Cole a smile. "Take care of them all. All of your woman and our girls," he added to Kyle and Leo. "Together with Andy now"

"But," Kyle said but Bane silenced him. "She loves him more than she could ever love me," he stated and Prue shook her head. "That´s not true," she exclaimed but Bane shook his head. "Don't lie to me, Prue. I know it. He will always have something, a piece of your heart I could never touch. Besides," he grinned. "Maybe I have someone in the afterlife I might love just a little," he showed a tiny space between his fingers. "more than I love you."

Prue narrowed her eyes. "Who is she?" she asked. Bane smiled and gave the Angel a look. The Angel returned the smile, nodded and said: "But first"

Bane kneeled in front of Pandora. "My darling girl. I love you so much. Know I didn't wanna leave you but you will be happy here with you mother and your new daddy." Bane smiled. "I´m glad it´s now I die and not in a few years when you would be old enough to remember. But still," he kissed her and took her from the ground. "I love you so much," he handed her to a very touched Andy.

The little girl took a look at her mother who had tears in her eyes. A look at her father who was tearful but still a happy glow around him she had never seen and finally she looked at the strange man holding her. Tilting her head to one side she patted his cheek, strangely suddenly seeming older than her 6 months and then she smiled leaning into Andys arms. "Please don't forget me," he pleaded. "I wont forget you."

He smiled and the Angel waved his hand and in another swirl of lights appeared. A young blond woman appeared. Her eyes were, quite strangely, brown and her blond hair were curly. "Mel," Bane cried and raced to the woman. "Bane?" her voice was like a melody. "Melanie," Bane hugged the stranger woman tightly. Then he turned to Prue and smiled. "Live well, Prue. I love you." And in lights both he and the woman Melanie disappeared.

All four sisters were crying as they waved at Banes orbs. "Goodbye," Prue whispered. "No matter what, Don't forget that I do love you" And words rang though the air as a ghostly whisper. "And I love you."

Prue sniffed and turned to the Angel. "Who was she?" The Angel smiled knowing this was something she would need to know. "Her name was Melanie Jane Foster. She was Bane first love and properly the love of his life." Prue swallowed. This was so hard. Then she felt someone take her hand and she smiled as she sensed the familiarity of the touch.

"Why weren't they together?" Phoebes voice was thick with emotions. "She died," the Angel said. "She was killed by a drunken driver. Bane saw it. He never got over it. It was the reason for him going bad and meeting you."

The Angel grinned. "I didn't plan this, but I must say I´m pleased. And I hope you are too," he looked at Prue. "I´m sorry for all the pain but I hope you´ll be happy after all." Prue sniffed in and said. "I will. Thank you". The Angel nodded. "Then there´s only one thing I have to do before I go." He waved his hand and a red mist appeared. It flew straight into Andy who gasped out in pain almost dropping Pandora who Paige saved by her calling for an object.

"Blessed be," the Angel smiled. "And I might see you again. With you Charmed ones, you could never know. Not then destiny!"

Andy stood watching Pandora sleep in her crib. The little girl had hung on him al evening after they came home. Entering the home the family noticed a white envelope on the table in the hallway with a big bucket of flowers.

Prue slowly opened it and read out:

"Dear Halliwell, -Turner, - Wyatt and Trudeau family.

I forgot to inform you about something very important. I have removed your tombstone and erased all things indicating you ever disappeared. Of course your friends, Victor Bennet, Darryl Morrison and of course the dead will know the truth. You will have to talk to them yourself Andrew. You´ll still work as a police officer so I suggest you talk to your cop friend Darryl soon.

I should give you his love, from Bane and tell you he is happier than ever.

Yours sincerely, The Angel of Destiny."

Piper had made a huge dinner and the whole family had talked, joked and told stories all night. The three kids had gone to sleep shortly after 8 but Pandora had whimpered if Andy tried to put her in her crib so he had just held on to her.

Prue smiled as she entered hers and Banes – no now it was hers and Andys bed room. He was standing watching Pandora sleep. "I´m so glad I died," his voice interrupted her thought. Prue snapped out of her thought and grabbed on roughly. "What?!"

Andy pulled her away from the crib and sat her on the bed silencing her with a kiss. "No, no. You´re getting it wrong," he explained. "I´m glad I died so you and Bane could have this wonder." He gestured to Pandora and Prue smiled though her tears.

"I don't want her to think I´m her biological father," he said and Prue nodded. "I´m glad because I want her to know everything about him. I did love him you know," she said and Andy nodded. "I understand that. And I can accept it because I know you both loved someone else even more."

Prue gave him a sly grin. "Really? Now how about I show you just how much I do love you?"

All there was heard after that was the laughter of Andrew Trudeau and the noise of love making.

And Up There, in heaven Bane and Melanie were happily watching Prues talk with Andy. "How about I who you how much I love you," Melanie giggled as Prue kissed Andy. And then all there was heard, Up There, was Bane Jessups laughter.

So what did you think? Now, hit the little button in the bottom or else I will cast the spell of REVIEWING on ya all again.

I don't know how many of you liked Prue better with Bane than Andy but I found out I like Prue with Andy more than Bane so therefore I killed him. One of the many perks of being the writer – you get to decide loads of stuff. Anyways, I hope you like the way I killed him and how I brought Andy back to life (hint, hint, REVIEW) because I really wanted it to be believable.

This is the last chapter I have redone so now I can continue with the story. Yay me. Hope you like the way it turned out.

So review. TTFN
