"Are you going to stay with Penny over night?" Paige asked Prue as Piper ushered she and Phoebe out of the hospital room.
"No, I am going to say goodbye and meet you downstairs, we're leaving okay?" Prue explained.
She was weary about leaving Penny in the hospital alone, but since Penny wasn't in a crucial situation, Prue wasn't allowed to stay overnight.
Prue walked back to Penny's bed and sat down.
"Are you going to be okay here?" Prue asked.
"I have no other choice right?" Penny said.
Prue laughed, Penny was always picking up on the smart comments from Phoebe and Paige.
"Right," Prue answered.
"Are you coming back tomorrow? Are Phoebe and Paige going back to camp?" Penny asked.
"Woah there, we will be back tomorrow, you just rest okay?" Prue kissed Penny and poked her nose.
"I love you!" Prue said. "Prue?" Penny stopped her, "Are you still mad at dad?" she asked, Penny looked afraid. "Penny, when you're older you'll understand okay? Just rest, it'll all be okay," Prue kissed Penny again and handed her the remote.
"Love you!" Prue said. "I love you more!" Penny watched her sister leave and she watched the movie Prue had put in for her.

An hour later, Penny laid in her bed.
She was just about to drift off to sleep when Victor walked into her room.
Penny's expression was confused, when Victor shushed her.
"It's okay, I just wanted to see how you were doing," he said.
Penny nodded and didn't say a word.
Victor carried a flower behind his back and handed it to Penny, "I picked this just for you!" He said.
He really just wanted to spend time with the daughter he had only seen once in her life.
"Prue said I can't have anymore visitors," Penny said, worried that Prue would walk through the door any second.
"My best friend owns this hospital, I'm allowed to visit whoever I would like," Victor smiled and took a seat next to Penny's bed.
"I brought Candyland, would you like to play?" he asked.
Penny nodded, she sat up and pulled her tray table out in front of her.

Throughout the game Penny laughed, and had a good time with her dad.
Victor watched his daughter smile and laugh, it reminded him so much of the times he had with Prue in her young age.
He longed to go back to that time when his daughters found him to be their hero.
"Dad, it's your turn," Penny said, she was getting more comfortable with Victor.
"Oh right," Victor snapped back to reality and took his turn.
After Penny won the game, Victor sat and talked with his daughter, he wanted to know more about her than her name.
"Your six years old! Wow! You're such a big girl!" Victor said.
Penny laughed, "Yeah, I'm going into the first grade after summer," she said.
Victor watched her expressions, identical to Prues.
"What's your favorite food?" he asked. Penny scrunched up her nose, which was obviously learned from Phoebe.
"Piper's spaghetti and meat sauce, with meatballs too!" Penny said with a yawn.
"Piper cooks?" Victor asked. Penny nodded, "the best cook in the world," she replied.
"Dad?" Penny asked. Victor looked at her, "Are you going to come home?" she asked. Victor's heart broke, "No sweetheart, I'm not, but you know what, maybe I can visit you sometime," Victor said. "I won't promise, but I'll try, just our secret?" He finished.
Penny nodded and let out another yawn.
Victor smiled, "It's time for bed kiddo, we want you to heal quickly!"
Penny nodded, "Bye dad," She said.
"Bye sweetheart," Victor kissed her hand and left.
He peered through the door one last time and watched his daughter smile before drifting off to sleep.
He couldn't stop thinking of Penny when he got in the elevator, he looked down the hall one last time before the elevator closed and the hallway went dark.
