Telling her about her new power had the desired effect. It helped ease off the pressure Phoebe had been feeling from Prue's emotions, and it helped Prue calm down. "Thanks. It took a lot of getting used to...it wasn't as bad as that time you were empathic, but it can still sometimes be overwhelming." She had better control of it now, and could focus it a little better, thankfully.
"You wouldn't believe how surprised Piper was when we told her it was a boy." She grinned. "It even took a few days to think of a name. She was trying for a 'P' at first." She understood how Prue was feeling, and squeezed her hands in return. "You know, maybe you'll be here for a while, with me and Paige and Wyatt. You could have a new life here." It may have been selfish, but Phoebe didn't want Prue to go back to her own time-it'd be losing her all over again.
