there goes my life

Phoebe arrived at the pier and saw the twins running to her. She hugged them and watched Dove run to Prue and hug her. Phoebe hugged her friend and walked over to the table they were seated at and sat down. "So Brian knows now." Phoebe sighed heavily. She heard her phone and saw the message. She took and bit her lip replying back. When we are finished here.

---

Zack saw the message and sighed. He didn't reply back. He sat there and wondered if it were true. If it were, why would she keep them from him? He got lost in his thoughts and sighed.

"I have a kid," Brian mumbled to Zack. "I don't even know how to act around kids and now I have one.

---

Prue hugged both Dove and Phoebe, ordering drinks for herself and the twins. "Zack suspects now," she stated. "How did Brian react to being told?"

Zack sighed and looked at Brian, "Dude, you'll just have to follow your instinct." He told his friend and sighed staring at him.

---

"Um, so.so." Phoebe told Prue sighing. "He wants to be introduced to Dove properly. I mean Dove knows. But..." Phoebe sighed. "Oh this is so messed up. Why did I come home?" Phoebe frowned.

"What if my instincts are wrong," Brian asked. "Like sometimes I barely managed to take care of my little sister when I was in charge of watching her."

---

"We both came home because we missed being here," Prue stated. "Don't let Brian make you regret coming back."

"Hey you've grown up." Zack told Brian. "I am sure you're going to be an amazing dad." Zack told him.

---

Phoebe sighed nodding her head. She ordered her food and saw Dove order his. She leaned back in the chair and looked around. A lot had changed since she'd left and came back.

Brian couldn't help the smile that formed on his lips from Zack's encouragement. He definitely had come a long way from losing his little sister at the mall when he was a teenager. "I really hope I can live up to his expectations of me," he mumbled. "Dove said I'm his idol."

---

"If it ever gets to be too much you know I have your back," Prue stated. "We left together the first time and I won't let you leave alone this time either." She took a drink of the soda she ordered, moving her fingers to run through Dallin's hair. "I think I'm going to tell Zack when I talk to him today," she mumbled.

"See, you're his idol." Zack smiled. "I am sure you're going to be a great dad. But if Pure's kids are mine. I doubt that I will." Zack sighed a little and looked at Brian.

---

"I hope yours goes better than mine." Phoebe smiled at Prue and looked at Dove on his phone. Watching videos of Brian and guitar things.

"If you don't think you'll be a good dad than I'm fucked," Brian stated. Zack had always been way more put together than he has ever been. "Even when we used to go out and party you never got sloppy like I would."

---

"Thanks," Phoebe mumbled. "Hopefully Zack doesn't get upset and remains levelheaded about it all."

Zack sighed, "I just don't get why, if they are mine. Why would she leave? I could've helped." Zack told him sighing heavily.

---

Phoebe nodded her head, "Maybe he'll understand." Phoebe tried to assure Prue.

"Phoebe said she heard me talking to Matt about not being ready for a family and kids," Brian stated. "I don't know if you ever said the same thing but she could have left to help Phoebe too." Back in the day Phoebe and Prue had become so close people questioned if they were sisters on occasion.

---

"He probably doesn't even remember the talk we had before I left with you," Prue mumbled. "That night was the only night I've ever seen him that drunk and out of control."

Zack sighed, "The nights he left. I had gotten shiftfaced drunk. I was really out of control with it. That could've been one reason. But I don't remember her ever saying anything like that though." Zack admitted.

---

Phoebe frowned, "Maybe he's changed, Prue." Phoebe assured her. "All I can say, in the famous word of my best friend. Let's ride this out and see what happens, for our children's sake." Phoebe told her.

"I guess all you can do is ask her why she left when you guys talk," Brian replied. He was honestly a little shocked Zack admitted he had got shit faced because he usually was the most put together of them all at parties. Hell Matt was known to let lose more at parties than Zack was.

---

Prue gave Phoebe a small smile, knowing the brunette was right. "You know sometimes I hate it when you're right," she joked.

Zack nodded his head a little bit, "Yeah." Zack told him and finished his bottle of water. Zack took and sighed a little bit as he stretched a little. "I am going to head home and freshen up a little bit then wait to meet Prue, see ya man." Zack told Brian before leaving and heading home.

---

"Just like I hate it when you're right." Phoebe laughed lightly as their food came. Once they were done she said her goodbyes wishing Prue good luck. She took and went with Dove back to the studio. She walked in seeing Brian sitting lost in space. "Brian." She said softly.

Brian really hoped things went well for Zack. He knew his friend still loved Prue the way he still loved Phoebe. He just hoped both him and Zack got the happy endings they didn't get ten years ago. He looked up, snapping out of his thoughts and gave Phoebe a small smile. "Hey," he mumbled. "Is Dove with you?"

---

The rest of lunch seemed to go well for Prue and the twins seemed to behaving in public for once. After the meal was done and paid for she let them spend a few more minutes at the beach before she got them in the car and drove to the park she was supposed to meet Zack at.

Phoebe nodded her head, "He had to stop and get you something." Phoebe told Brian. Phoebe saw Dove come in with the gift he'd gotten Brian. It was a coolest dad mug. Phoebe saw Dove smiling at him.

"I know you're my dad and I have waited so long to meet you." Dove smiled at Brian.

Phoebe smiled stepping out to give them space.

---

Zack sat on a bench waiting on Prue. His mind racing with the thoughts of him being a father. He wasn't sure of what to do if he were. He sighed heavily watching people walk by and all.

Brian smiled as he took the mug in his hands, running his thumb over the words on the cup. It was really starting to sink in he was a dad and he was happy about it. Phoebe and him has a family. "Thanks," he replied. "I'll use it everyday we record when I need my coffee fix."

---

Prue parked her car, watching as Dallin and Kenzi rushed over to the swings. She looked around for Zack, finding him sitting alone on a bench and quietly sat down besides him. "Do you remember anything about the night I left?"

Dove smiled at his dad, "Cool." Dove smiled at his dad. "So, can I call you dad?" Dove asked unsure of what to do. He had dreamed of the day he'd meet his dad. And it was finally here.

---

"I remember you telling me how out of control I was." Zack said not looking at her. "I was out of control, and I am sorry for that. I shouldn't had been drinking and smoking joints like I was." Zack admitted to her. "I screwed up and I ran the one person, that I loved more than my own life out of my life." Zack looked at her slowly.

Brian nodded. "Yeah," he smiled. "As long as you jam with me whenever we can."

---

"I told you I was pregnant," Prue admitted. "I knew drunk you could be more honest than a sober you." She felt a few tears fall down her face and quickly wiped them away. "You told me babies are gross and to get rid of it."

Zack looked at her and frowned. "I don't remember." Zack said honestly. "I'd never said that, if I hadn't been drunk." Zack frowned at her.

---

Dove grinned, "I can do that, dad." Dove told her and smiled.

Brian couldn't help that the smile on his face seemed to be permanent at the moment, happy he had Phoebe and a son now. "When did you first start playing guitar."

---

"Well things gone well for Phoebe with Brian so when she said she wanted to leave town I went with her," Prue stated. "Leaving town sounded better than telling you again when you were sober and having you act that way again."
