Leo walked back into Aria's room. "They said that you can go home." Leo said. Aria jumped out of her bed and was smiling, "Seriously?" She asked. "Yes. But, they want you to understand that using magic for your own personal gain is never permitted." Leo said. "I think I got that part now." Aria said. "I didn't tell anyone at home that you are coming, so they'll be shocked." Leo said. "As happy as I am to go home, I am also a little bit nervous. I know everyone's going to be mad." Aria said.
"Not mad, Aria. Just sad. And a little frustrated, maybe." Leo said.
"I know, but they'll get over it." Aria said.
"You ready?" Leo asked, holding out his hand. Aria grabbed his hand and nodded her head yes. They orbed into her room at the manor. Leo walked into he and Piper's room. Aria walked into her Mom's room. Nobody was in there. As she was walking down the stairs, her Mom and Dad walked through the front door. They were in them middle of a conversation when they suddenly stopped talking. Aria smiled at them from the top of the stairs.
"Oooh, baby!" Prue smiled, and started running up to her daughter. She threw her coat and purse on the floor. Andy picked them up and hung them up, quickly.
"Ahh, Mommy!" Aria said, smiling excitedly.
Aria was running to her mother. They met at the bottom of the stairs and Aria jumped into her mother's arms, wrapping her legs around her waist. Prue hugged tightly to her daughter and was stroking her hair. "Don't you ever do that to me again! Those were the longest four days of my life!" Prue said. "Ugh, trust me- I won't. It was the longest four days of my life, too. I was here watching you guys, but you couldn't see me. And it was awful, missing everything!" Aria said.
Andy walked over to them and Aria hugged him tightly. Prue was still holding her not wanting to let her go. "HI pumpkin." Andy said, smiling at her, tucking her hair behind her ears.
"Hi Daddy!" Aria smiled at him.
Phoebe, Piper, and Addie came running from the kitchen. Prue turned to face them, still holding Aria.
"Aria Lucille Trudeau, I am going to kill you." Addie said. Aria looked at her, "Well ,that's a nice welcome. Missed you, love. "She said.
"Of course I missed you, boo! Don't ever go anywhere without me again." Addie said, she hugged Aria.
"Hi sweetheart." Phoebe kissed Aria's cheek and hugged her. Piper was smiling at Aria.
"Did Leo give you my message?" Piper asked.
"Yes, he did. You can kick my butt now." Aria said. They smiled at each other.
"You know I wouldn't do that. But, I will pinch it." Piper said. "Ahh, Mommy help." Aria said, laughing and squirming in Prue's arms.
Piper stopped and just hugged Aria and kissed her cheek. "Don't do that again, we missed you too much!" Piper said.
"Yes, and we were so worried." Phoebe said.
"I know, I'm sorry. Believe me, I won't." Aria said. Cole walked in the door.
"Hi." Aria said.
"Hey there little lady!" Cole said, hugging her. Prue was just hugging Aria, so afraid of letting her go.
"Okay ARia, time to dish. What was it like up there?" Addie asked. Prue put her down, and they all sat down on the couches. Prue and Andy sat on either side of Aria.
"Well.... white. It was so bright. And there were clouds everywhere and my bed was a cloud. ANd the Elders, I had to go in front of them, and they were wearing hoods. And they told me not to cast spells for personal gain, and blah blah blah." Aria said.
"Which, you understand now." Phoebe said. Arai nodded and widened her eyes.
"ANd I saw Grams and Grandma Patty!" Aria said, excitedly.
"You did? I hate you!" Addie said.
"Well, they were coming to tell me about the meeting with the Elders and to talk to me about why I cast the spell and all that. And they said they Loved me and they did not want me to do that again." Aria said.
"With good reason." Leo said. Aria nodded.
They were all talking for about another hour before they all went upstairs to bed. "Good to have you back, sweety. Love you." Piper said, hugging her niece and kissing her cheek before going into her own room.
"Thanks. Love you too." Aria said. Phoebe hugged her tightly.
"I Love you honey." Phoebe said.
"I Love you, Aunt Phoebe." Aria said.
"Night Aria. I Love you." Addie said.
"I Love you too Ad." Aria said.
"Thanks Uncle Leo, for everything." Aria hugged him.
"Your welcome." Leo said, smiling. He turned and went into his room and Addie went into hers. Prue, Andy, and Aria were standing in the hallway.
Prue took Aria's hand and led her into her bedroom. "Honey, we need to talk to you." Prue said.
Aria sighed. She knew this was coming. They all sat on Prue's bed. "Why did you cast that spell?" Prue asked, looking into her daughter's eyes.
"I.... well, I heard you guys talking in the kitchen at Dad's. And you said that it would be different if I wasn't in the picture. I know that's not what you meant, but I just got the idea that I could see what it would be like for you if I wasn't." Aria said.
"But, we Love you. You are our whole world and we would not want to be without you." Andy said.
"I knew you heard me say that. I know that was why you did it." Prue said.
"Well, it wasn't the only reason. I mean, I figured I was in the way of your relationship with each other, and that maybe.... if I wasn't here, you'd be able to spend time together and finally confess your true feelings." Aria said.
"We did spend time together, but most of it was spent talking about you." Prue said.
"And we did share some of our feelings for each other, but that doesn't change the fact that its still complicated." Andy said.
Aria laid down on her bed. "How is it complicated? I just don't understand." She said. Prue pulled her daughter back up to face them, and squinted her eyes at her, then smiled. "It just is." She said.
"But, in time- we'll work it out." Andy said.
"Okay.... I guess I can live with that, for now." Aria said, raising her eyebrows at them. They laughed.
"We need to call my Mom tomorrow." Andy said, looking at Prue.
"Yes, Grandma;s gonna kill you both for not calling her tonight." Aria said, giggling.
"Wrong missy.... she's going to kill you for casting that spell!" Prue said.
"Grandma loves me too much." Aria said. Prue smiled.
"Alright, go to bed. I Love you so much, my sweet girl." Prue said, hugging her daughter, and kissing her cheek.
"I Love you too, Mom." Aria said.
"Love you sis." Andy said, kissing her cheek.
"Love you too Dad." Aria said, hugging him.
They were about to walk out her door when Aria said, "Dad, are you staying the night?" Prue and Andy looked at each other and Prue nodded her head yes and smiled at her daughter.
"See you in the morning." Prue said, shutting Aria's door. Aria got up and changed into her pajamas. She was so happy to be home and in her own room. She brushed her teeth and then jumped into her bed, feeling so relieved to be able to sleep in her own bed!
"Ohh, I will never cast a spell like that again!" Aria whispered to herself. She raised her hand up to shut off her light and then used her power to turn on her night light. She slowly drifted off into dream land.
