"Revenge sounds so mean, that's why I like to call it "returning the favor"."

Time 7:10 - 7:40 

The door closed slowly behind Prue as Shane left her for the week. He was going to the construction site. She didn't turn and look, she didn't want to knowledge that she knew the truth. He didn't love her, she was just someone to fill the hours between getting home from work and going to work.  She had seen his text messages to his best friend Sam about how annoying he thought she was, lamenting why he had ever married her. She had made his favorite meal and tried to cheer him in the days before the anniversary of his brother's death and he had hated it.

Prue had picked up his phone by mistake while he was in the shower. Sam was asking him about bringing a friend and her friend to the site so they could have a real good time tonight. Shane had said not to bother. Sam had responded to just wait until he saw her. Shane had responded 'whatever'. She was so heartsick that she didn't tell him the good news while he got dressed. They were expecting. The doctor had called with the test results yesterday. Prue had hoped to create the perfect moment to tell him, only to get her head bitten off and got to be alone again.

She called Penny, her sister would know what to do. Penelope was as vicious as she was protective of Prue. 

"Hey Prue, Hammer, say good morning to my sister," Penny sounded wide awake. There was mumbling in the background that almost made Prue laugh as she called out. "Good morning, Hammer, I'm sorry for the screaming."

"What screaming?" the grumpy male voice grumbled.

"Penny, I'm pregnant." Prue announced wickedly and Penny began shrieking happily.

"I am going to get revenge on you, Prudence," Hammer promised from underneath a muffling pillow and Prue giggled. 

"Revenge sounds so mean, just return the favor. I'll take twins." Prue begged, "I don't want my baby to be lonely."

"I'm trying, little P, but Penny has MMA and American Ninja Warrior trials in a few months. Maybe some day, it's a job I volunteer for every night." Hammer assured her.

TIME 30 minutes, Word count 432

Prue heard the phone change hands, her sister was panting, "I'm so happy for you. What did Shane say?"

Silently her mind went over the text messages, Prue was quiet too long.

"Prue? You have told Shane, haven't you? Oh gosh, did he take it badly?" Penny blurted out. 

"Uh, no... I am going out to tell him tonight. I want to surprise him for our anniversary," Prue lied. 

"Okay, let me know when you want the baby shower. The ladies and I throw a rocking baby shower." Then Penny let out a squeal followed by giggling and muffled conversation. "Sorry," she gasped out then her sister sounded confused, "Hammer told me to tell you he's returning the favor and to hang up." 

Prue laughed, "Tell him, I know revenge is his favorite thing." 

"What revenge?" Penny asked then screamed playfully just before the phone cut off. 

Prue shook her head, wishing she had what her sister had. A man who adored her energy and devotion like Hammer adored Penny. Quietly, she got up and went to the window. She decided she would drive to the Jersey Shore and surprise Shane at the site where they were rebuilding the hotel destroyed by the hurricane. Calling his office, she got the hotel room number from his secretary.
