Prue stood in the waiting room designed for visitors, waiting for her sister. Piper couldn't make it today, she had to be at work since a well known magazine food critic was there to review the restaurant where she worked. Piper didn't want to be there, she couldn't have cared less about the restaurant or the critic since her sister was ill. A few years ago she would have been nervous and excited about the opportunity to advance her career, but since she found out the news about what was happening outside of their worlds, their lives seemed worthless. Prue agreed. She did her job at the gallery, but wasn't as passionate as she used to be. She didn't even flinch when her boss stole her idea again. She was too concerned about Phoebe.

Phoebe was doing better. She actually came out her room and did her activities with other patients. It was almost Halloween since that night, and what Phoebe seen in her vision frightened her more than anything she saw, or fought. Lucifer, The Source, demons, none were as frightening as their Creator, God Himself. Prue wished she saw what Phoebe did so she can understand, but their angelic friends had wisely advised them not to. Michael had told them he had a idea of what Phoebe saw since he is a Dreamwalker, and he and his brother can experience their other selves lives. As a Archangel he can see more worlds at once than a human Dreamwalker, who were limited on what they can see.

Prue smiled when Phoebe came out. She was escorted by a nurse per hospital policy, and when she got closer Prue got up and gave her a hug. Phoebe was unresponsive. That was expected, but it was a big step from before when she refused to leave her room and was heavily medicated.

"Phoebe, it's Prue, hows things?" Prue asked.

Nothing. Prue sighed. She wished things were simple like back then. Just living their own lives, working their jobs, even their bickering. Not being a witch, not being a Charmed one, not saving the world all the time. She hated Fate sometimes. She was glad that Paige visited more often now than ever, Paige told both Prue and Piper about her parents and why she avoided hospitals. Paige was currently in the cafeteria getting coffee. Prue looked at Phoebe hoping to see some life in her eyes, but she still had that dull look. The nurse had guided her to a chair where Prue was sitting. Prue, to appear that things were normal had told Phoebe about their day's events and even Piper's critic coming to review her restaurant. To act like things were normal, Prue complained to Phoebe her boss was being a dickweed.

Paige was back a few minutes later. She gave Prue her coffee and tried to talk to Phoebe as well, but other than Phoebe picking a string off her pyjamas, said nothing. Paige was telling Phoebe about her plans for Halloween for her kids, the kids from the elementary school she worked at. She wanted to teach them about how wrong the stereotypes of witches were and was trying to show good examples, like the Good Witch from the Wizard of Oz and Sabrina. Prue sighed when Phoebe said nothing. She was disappointed. She was hoping that Phoebe would show some emotion but nothing happened.

As the oldest, she was expected to be the responsible one, Piper was the middle child, who didn't really act out a lot as a child avoiding the middle kid syndrome, and Phoebe being the youngest (at the time) was the rebel. Prue had a happy childhood, until her mom died and after their Grandma moved in she was put under more pressure to be a role model for her sisters.

Their father left years ago. At the time Prue hated her dad for leaving. For years she blamed him for his ex wife's accident. If he stayed, she wouldn't have gone to that lake. It wasn't until years later found out why. He filed for divorce from Patty when she got pregnant from her Whitelighter that resulted in Paige.

Neither she or her sisters knew that Victor Bennett, their father wanted custody of their daughters. Especially after Patty died. When he told Penny he wanted their powers bounded and forgotten, Penny refused. She threatened him with so many legal threats that he had no choice but to walk away. It was after years later after they grew up, when he almost ran into Prue.

She was at a pharmacy getting medicine for Piper who was suffering from a nasty cold and he was standing in line. Disgusted at seeing who she saw as a deadbeat father, she left, forgetting the medicine.

She told her surprised sister Phoebe about seeing their father. Phoebe, not surprisingly, immediately wanted info on him. Prue angry at Phoebe's excitement, gave her the silent treatment the rest of the day. She eventually came around and telling a now cured Piper (thanks to Leo) that she saw Victor.

Piper was stunned. She had so many mixed emotions. She remembered Victor, but he left when she was only a toddler. So her memories were vague. She tried for years to communicate with her father, going as far as sending him an invite to her sweet sixteen party, but he never answered. Hurt, she never contacted him ever again.

What neither of them knew that Phoebe was tracking him down. She found out he just recently moved back in the city a few weeks ago and was talking to him on a nightly basis. They talked regularly and met up a couple of times to dinner. When Prue and Piper found out, they were angry and felt betrayed Phoebe hid the truth from them.

Phoebe tried to convince both to see Victor for the truth, but Prue refused. She felt the abandonment all over again. It wasn't until a month later all three were after a monster who was kidnapping small children, and they fell in a trap. They got pulled between worlds. It was thanks to Victor that set them free after he tricked the monster to open the door that set them free.

When they met face to face no one knew what to say. It was Phoebe that broke the ice. She recommended a nervous Piper and a suspicious Prue back to the manor to talk. It was then Prue and Piper found out the truth thanks to Victor's letters dated the day he left. Penny's diary confirmed it. Penny was planning to tell her granddaughters herself, but passed away from a heart attack before she could tell them the truth.

It was a slow progress, but all four developed a happy relationship. Victor himself covered the hospital costs for Phoebe's treatment. At the time he balked at the cost of the place Phoebe was in, but after they told him what the world is going to experience, he changed his mind.

He came over every chance he could whenever he wasn't working extra hours to pay for the costs. Prue and Piper tried telling him he needed to slow down, since both were contributing to the bills and they were worried he could exhaust himself. He refused, saying that was his baby girl.

Prue closed her eyes praying to her mom and grandma, but neither answered. She then heard Leo's voice that told her that both were at a emergency meeting with the Elders to discuss the state of events. Both wanted to see Phoebe but no one was allowed to leave. Even Whitelighters couldn't come down to Earth. Only a select few.

Phoebe just sat in silence, staring at nothing. Prue and Paige just continued talking to her, pretending that everything was normal. Neither noticed a red haired candy stripper looking at their direction.
