Brandon was laying in his bed thinking about everything that had recently happened in his and his sisters life. The last time he had seen her like this was when Dylan had died.His sister really didn't take change too well. He thought back to when they had first moved here to Casa Walsh, when they were just teens.They had been 16 and very impresionable. Brenda had fell for Dylan almost immediately. They had split up after a year or so but had gotten together again when Brenda turned 27. She had moved to London, England when she was 20 to pursue an acting career. In between there had been other's in each of thier lives but Brenda had come home after the death of their mother and remained. When Brenda was 27 Dylan had entered her life again. And after declaring he had never forgot her, and still loved her, he proposed, and they married two months later. Most of the gang had attended apart from her two best girlfriends, Kelly and Andrea who had both been lost in a tragic fire that claimed thier new appartment. Kelly in particular, had been like a sister to Brenda. And her death had hit his sister hard.
As he lay there thinking, he heard a scream come from the room next to his, and he rushed to his sister's side. Opening the door he saw her sat up in bed, sweat pouring off her, crying. He rushed to her side and held her to him. He could feel her body shaking violently, and he stroked her hair.
"Same dream Bren?" He questioned.
She just nodded into his shoulder, and continued to cry. Five minutes later she sat back and looked at him. As he handed her a tissue, she appologised.
"I'm sorry Bran', you must think me an awful nusiance?"
"Oh no no no, Bren' you can cry on me whenever you like, I'm here for you."
She rested her head on his shoulder again and he wrapped his arms tighter around her shaking shoulders.
"I just miss him Brandon, he's missing out on so much....i....i remember when i was away in London. I would dream of him every night Bran'. And when i finally came home, he was there for me throughout the funeral.When he proposed to me, i felt like a princess again.Then we found out i was pregnant. He never even knew it was twins, He died they day i found out.If only....." She cried "...if only he hadn't gone on that weekend trip....he...he would be here now."
"I wish i could help Bren' i really do.....you know you can talk to me anytime....i only want whats best for you and my nephews."
"Brandon, you are helping....more than you know...here, now...listening to my moans...this means alot." she said, putting her arms around his waist and giving him a strong hug.
They sat like that for a few more minutes before Brandon gently removed her arms and stood up. He helped her lay down and he covered her over. Bending over he kissed her forehead and stood up. Brenda took hold of his hand before he left.
"I love you Brandon, thank you for being here."
"I love you more sis, now get some sleep."
"Ok, good night bro."
She said as she turned onto her side and closed her eye's. Brandon left her room and went back to his own.

"Phoebe, you in school today?" Prue asked her sister.
"Nope Prue it's saturday."
"Oh right yea, of course it is. Piper you need any help?"
"Well you can help me tonight if you like. Susan just called, she can't work tonight, her daughter is poorly, so i'm one down at the club, wanna serve for me?"
"Yea sure. Anything to work my brain, i'm feeling so cluttered lately."
"Thank you, your a life saver. It's my busiest night tonight."
"Hey, it's my club too isn't it? Ill be happy of the distraction.What 'bout you Pheebs wanna make it a sister thing."
"Noooooo thank you. I always make a mess when i work at the club, i'm much better sitting at the bar checking the merchandise....what?
Phoebe asked her sisters who laughed at her comment.
"Do your prospective conquests know that you refer to them as merchandise?" Prue asked grinning.
"Hey it's not my fault i love shopping." Phoebe said smirking.
"Phoebe Halliwell, superwitch , man magnet. Shopper." Prue said grinning.
Phoebe replied by holding her arms in the air and jiggling her bottom in a seductive mannor.
"Can i help it if i'm popular?" She replied.
Prue and Piper laughed, and just at that moment Leo orbed in, Phoebe dropped her arms fast, but not before Leo saw. He looked at her strange then turned and kissed Piper.
"Hi." he said to Piper.
"Hi" she replied back.
Leo then turned his attention to Prue.
"How are you holding up Prue?"
"Oh you know, getting there with a little help from my sister's."
"That's good, but if you ever need to bend a whitelighter ear, i'm here for you too." Leo promised.
"I know, thanks bro'" She said hugging him.
"Well i'm going to go pick my car up from the body shop. Can you believe what it's costing me to fix it, 1,220 dollars. It's a rip off." Prue moaned.
"Send the bill to Brenda, it's her fault haha." Piper joked.
"Piper?!" Phoebe and Prue yelled.
"Relax, i was kidding, just kidding geez" She defended.
"Ok, as long as you were..." Prue stopped as the door bell rang "...I'll get that on my way out, i shouldn't be too long." Prue said.
She reached the door and opened it, and was shocked to find Brenda and her boys in a buggy stood there.
"Brenda? Wha...what are you doing here?"
"I um...i've thought about what you said, and i wanted you to meet my children. I've lost too many people in my life to waste time on decisions, so i hope the offer still stands?"
"Of course, come in, come in. Piper, Phoebe, Leo, come looks who's here." Prue said happily.
Brenda pushed the buggy inside just as the others entered the lobby. Phoebe, hugged Brenda, followed by Piper, then Leo. Her boys were looking from thier mom to Prue, confusion on thier little faces. The four adults and two children entered the lounge and they sat down.
"Prue, what about your jeep?" Piper asked.
"Oh, forget that.I'll call them later. Brenda, are you ok?"
"Oh i've had better days. But Brandon's been great.He really is the best brother a girl could ask for you know.Anyway, This is Nathan and Scott, my boys. They are 18 months old." Brenda turned to her children and spoke to them. " Can you say hello? Nate, scotty, say hello..hell'...they only just started talking,Their first word was Mama." Brenda proudly announced.
Prue knelt down in front of her nephews and said hi. Scotty began crying for his mom, while Nate looked at Prue and opened his mouth.
"Mama?" He said, sounding unsure as he looked at Prue.
Prue looked up at Brenda, who looked bewildered.
"I think we've confused him.He think's i'm you." Prue said grinning.
Brenda smiled and looked at Nate again.
"Prue, Nate, thats auntie Prue..."
Prue felt her heart jump, Brenda had refered to her as Nate's auntie, did that mean she accepted her as family. She looked at Brenda and felt an immediate build up of love starting.
"...And that's auntie Piper, and auntie Phoebe, and uncle Leo." Brenda finished.
Nate looked at his mom, then to Prue.
"Pwu,." He said pointing to Prue.
"Hi little guy, how are ya?" Prue said to Nate, tickling his tummy. Nate grinned and held his arms out to Prue.
Unsure she looked at Brenda, who was looking shocked at her son.
"He...he's never done that before. He's usually clingy to me.Hold him if you want." Brenda said.
"You sure?" Prue replied, Brenda just nodded.
Unclasping the safety belt Prue lifted the little boy out of the buggy, and held him on her hip.Immediately the little boy grabbed her hair and put it in his mouth.Everyone giggled.
"He likes you, Prue, Brenda can i hold Scotty?" Phoebe asked.
Brenda nodded and Phoebe picked the little boy out of the buggy the same way Prue had, He proceded to do the same with her hair as Nate had done to Prue. Phoebe was in heaven, she loved babies, and now she had two to spoil.
"Well aren't you the cutest, yes you are, oh you are..." Phoebe cooed to Scotty as he giggled at his aunt.
All the while Brenda was watching the exchange, she had been shocked at first when her son Nate had done what he did, but seeing her sister's with her children now bought a pleasent feeling to her breast.
