Subject: The Lost Halliwell, Part Two

*******

The lights dissolved to show a translucent, beautiful, young woman, with long black hair and a wise expression standing in the circle. Prue.

“It worked,” Pam said softly. The four women stood in silence for a moment, gawking at each other.

“Prue?” Piper asked finally. “Is it really you?” Her voice began to waver as her eyes got watery. “Am I dreaming?”

“No, Piper. It’s real,” Prue said. With the sound of her long-lost voice, a sound they had not heard in eleven years, Phoebe and Piper burst into tears. Prue shed a tear as well as she smiled at the two. Piper set Stella down on the still partially blown-up sofa. Prue stepped out of the circle and became solid. The three sisters hugged each other for what seemed like forever.

“Oh, Prue, I missed you so much!” Piper raved, smelling the familiar scent of her sister. “You don’t know how much you’ve missed!”

“I missed you too, Piper,” Prue said, smiling through her tears.

“Prue, re-remember the leather jacket you had, th-the one that you thought Piper g-got cat pee on when she borrowed it?” Phoebe could barely keep her voice steady through her tears. “W-well, I borrowed it, n-not Piper. She just took the blame. I feel so g-guilty about it!”

“It’s okay, Phoebe. I forgive you.” The three continued to squeeze each other tightly as they talked.

“Oh, I love you so much!” Phoebe said, sobbing uncontrollably.

“I love you guys, too,” Prue said.

“Oh, Prue, I wish you could’ve been there!” Piper said, also sobbing uncontrollably. “I-I had a baby! Actually, t-two babies. Wyatt, and then C-Chris a year later! Boys! C-Can you believe that?”

“I know, Piper. I’ve been watching over you guys ever since I died. I flip the pages of the Book every once in a while.

“A-And I got married!” Phoebe said. “Not to Cole. H-He turned evil again. A n-nice mortal named Josh! W-we’re trying to have children now!” Prue figured it was pointless to tell her sisters that she knew everything that had happened. She missed talking to them.

“A-and Paige g-got married! She h-had twins!” Piper said.

“Paige!” Prue said. She slowly pulled away from her sisters and turned to face the one she never met.

“S-she’s our sister, Prue! S-she…”

“I know, Phoebe. Mom told me,” Prue said. “Paige. I’ve been watching you. You have a marvelous gift for the craft. You’re more powerful than I could ever be. You’re such a quick learner! I’m sorry I never got to meet you before. But now I can. C’mere.” Prue stretched out her arms towards her long-lost sister. Paige hugged her.

“It’s good to finally see you, Prue,” she said. Even though she never knew her, Paige began shedding tears over this emotional reunion as well.

“And,” Phoebe began, “This is Pam. My daughter.” Prue and Pam stared at each other for a while. Pam didn’t know what to say. This was the person, Phoebe had wrote, that made her scared to admit that she was pregnant. The person who always pre-judged her. Pam didn’t know how to react. Prue smiled, breaking the ice.

“Pam,” she said softly. “I’ve only known about your existence for a few days, but I’ve been watching you, too. You will definitely be a strong asset to the Halliwell family. The two hugged. “Phoebe,” Prue said, turning to her. “I’m sorry, too. I’m sorry I criticized you and made you feel inferior. If only I’d known what a great, emotionally strong, fun, smart person you were back then. Maybe you wouldn’t have given up Pam.”

“Everything happens for a reason,” Pam said, remembering something from the Book.

“Right you are,” Prue said. “So Piper, Paige? Where are my niece and nephews?” Paige walked over to the partially blown-up sofa where Stella and Andy were lying.

“This is Stella,” Paige said, pointing to the twin on the left, “and this is Andy.”

“You named your son after my true love?” Prue asked as she knelt down and smiled at the babies. She knew all of this already, of course, but she liked to hear their stories.

“Yeah,” Paige said. “It was Piper’s idea. Nice tribute, right?”

“Right,” Prue said. Andy had wrapped his hand around Prue’s pinky.

“Have you seen Andy, Prue?” Piper asked.

“Yes, I have.”

“Are you two still… a couple?”

“Yes we are.”

“Well, there’s everlasting love for you, huh?” Phoebe said.

Prue chuckled. “I missed your jokes, Phoebe.”

“Really?” Phoebe asked. “I never thought I was that funny.”

“Wyatt! Chris! Can you come to the attic for a second?” Piper called. In a second, the boys had orbed in.

“Is it a demon?” Wyatt asked enthusiastically.

“No,” Piper said. “I would like you to meet someone.” The boys turned to face Prue. “Prue, this is Wyatt, and this is Chris.”

“Prue? Mom, is she…”

“Yes, Wyatt, she is. Your Aunt Prue,” Piper said, smiling.

“Hello, boys,” Prue said. She came up to them. They obviously weren’t ready for hugs, so Prue shook hands with them.

“Mommy, didn’t you say Aunt Prue was dead?” Chris asked.

“Well, she is, Chris.” Piper’s comment made Chris jump in surprise.

“She’s a… ghost?” he asked fearfully.

“Not an evil ghost, Chris. A good ghost. More of a spirit. She’s come to see you,” Piper informed. Of course, the boys then had questions for Prue about being a spirit; and most of them were somehow related to Ghostbusters. Prue patiently answered all the childish questions.

“I think we’re leaving someone out from this joyous reunion, Piper,” Prue said.

“Oh, right!” Piper realized. “Leo!”

Leo orbed in instantly. “Piper, what… Prue?” He was totally stunned by the appearance of his dead sister-in-law.

“Good to see you again, Leo,” Prue said as she patted him on the back. Everyone in the room was talking for several minutes until they heard the front door close.

*******

Piper checked her watch.

“Wow, it’s six o’ clock already! That’s Josh,” Piper exclaimed.

“Well, you know what they say,” Prue said, “time flies when you’re in good company!”

“Well, I’ve never heard that one, but okay!” Paige said, laughing.

“Phoebe?” Josh called.

“Up here, in the attic!” Phoebe called back. Josh climbed up the stairs.

“Phoebe…” Josh stopped and looked around. “What’s everyone doing up here? Who are you?” he asked, noticing Pam.

“She’s my daughter,” Phoebe said slyly.

“What, did you cast one of those time-travel spells? Is she from the future?” Josh asked. “And who are you?” he asked Prue.

“Oh, I’m dead,” Prue said plainly.

*******

Phoebe explained everything to Josh, about her having Pam and Pam’s powers and Pam staying in San Francisco for the summer.

“Well,” he began, “I have one thing to say. It’s a good thing we all don’t still live in this house!”

Everyone was extremely happy. This had turned out to be one of the best days any of them could remember. Pam, Paige, and Prue arguably had the most fun getting to know each other. Everyone agreed to go to P3 (It was closed that day, so Wyatt, Chris, and Prue could go without anyone noticing.) for dinner and some plain old goodhearted fun.

“Wait,” Prue said. “There’s something we should do before we leave.” No one stepped out of the attic. Prue made them stand in certain spots.

“Prue, what are we doing?” Piper asked.

“You’ll see,’ Prue replied smoothly.

“Pam, read her mind! What’re we doing?” Piper asked.

“Sorry, but I want to be surprised,” Pam replied.

“Hph!” Piper said.

“Okay everyone, quiet!” Prue ordered. She took a deep breath. “I call forth, from space and time, matriarchs of the Halliwell Line. Mothers, daughters, sisters, friends… our family spirit without end. Gather now in this sacred place, so we can bring this child to grace.”

“What’s going on?” Pam asked Phoebe.

“It’s your wiccaning,” Phoebe whispered back.

Numerous spirits began to appear in the attic. There were many familiar faces- Melinda Warren, Grams, their mother, etcetera. Grams winked at Pam; obviously a sign that she was meant to be a witch from the very beginning.

And so began a new chapter in the lives of The Charmed Ones…

The End
