Phoebe was extremely happy with the person in her life, even if it was another woman she was with. She had never even had a second thought about being with a woman. Parker had given her everything she needed in a lover...a spouse...and a friend.
She had been having the vision of the daughter she was suppose to have every night since she and Parker has begun dating each other. Her premonition had turned into a dream. But her dreams were soon to become a nightmares.
She had awoken from her sleep in a heavy sweat. It wasn't the dream she had been having for the past year since she and Parker decided to settle down with each other exclusively. This time she had a nightmare like none other she had before. She dreamt she watched Parker being killed in front of her and there was nothing that she could do. She watched the REAL love of her life be killed and she did nothing.
Even tho Parker was her lover she was almost afraid of her. Afraid for her, because of the nightmares she had been having for the past week. Mainly because none of them knew Parker's true background. All they knew is whatever Parker could remember. Which wasn't much. And the elders wouldn't tell them anything either. Anytime Parker would ask, they would always answer with "you'll find out all you need to know in time. Your past is for you to find on your own, not for us to tell you."
Some part of her knew it wasn't wise to be with this woman, but she couldn't resist. She couldn't fight her heart.
"The heart gets, what the heart wants", she had always said to herself.
She tried to shake the feeling, but it refused to be shaken. Maybe all the men she dated were not the cause of her daughter. Not that it was a bad thing but when she became pregnant, she knew Parker was the cause. After all it had been Parker who was the one who had helped start the Warren line. So why couldn't she be the reason for her pregnancy? Its not like she had been with any men.
After a year of dating and finally they indulged and each other. Some weeks later... Phoebe had missed her period and stood nervously in the bathroom and waited for the test results. Positive! The test was positive!
It seemed she was in another world after she had seen the results. This was the 3rd test she had taken in the last few days. She was already waiting on the test results from her doctors office.
She was half mortified and half happy about what she saw. She sat in the bathroom with the test when Paige began banging on the door. She snapped out of her daze and opened the door.
She cracked the door just enough to see her sister looking at her with an annoyed look on her face.
Phoebe: yeh?
Paige: you plan on coming out sometime today?
Phoebe: I'll be out in a sec
Paige: does this sec last a whole nother hour?
Phoebe: No! I'm coming out now. Just give me a few minutes.
Paige: you just said a sec
Phoebe: Paige, you know what I mean. Just go use the other bathroom.
Paige: all my stuff is in this bathroom
Phoebe rolled her eyes and walked out of the bathroom with the test in hand, well hidden from Paige. She got back to her bedroom and put the test in its box then wrapped and tied it tightly in a bag. She wasn't gonna make the same mistake Piper had made once before.
She had opened the pregnancy test in her room and read the instructions the night before, so she already knew not to dispose of the test in the bathroom trash. She was gonna make sure that the test and the results made its way to the curb side trash without anyone ever knowing she had used it. She would get rid of it before she had her breakfast and before Parker had come to pick her up for work. Her car was in the shop with a few damages. She had backed into a pole. Deja Vue all over again.
She remembered she had done the same to Prue's car years ago. She smiled thinking about her sister and all the good times they had together.
She planned to name her daughter Prudence when she finally had her, if she had her. This could be a false alarm like before with Dex.
Prue...Prue...she missed her sister and knew that looking at her daughter would make everyday harder. A tear ran down her cheek.
She headed down to the kitchen were the Halliwells had lived for generations. She entered the kitchen and tossed the bag in the trash.
Phoebe: morning
Piper: hey! How'd you sleep?
Phoebe: great
Piper: you sure? I heard you talking in your sleep again. I was gonna come in an check on you, but I figured Parker would make sure you were ok.
Phoebe: she went demon hunting last night
Paige walks in the kitchen
Paige: good thing, she might not have been able to get in the bathroom this morning
Phoebe smiles at her sister
Phoebe: I wasn't in there that long
Piper: yeh you were. I'm glad I got my own bathroom.
Paige: ooh you and Leo kiss and makeup?
Piper: as a matter of fact yes we did. Speaking of Parker when is she gonna come back to the manor to stay?
Phoebe: I don't know. All I know is she wants to keep us out of harms way and she feels that the only way to do that is to be out of the manor.
Paige: but the demons attack here every chance they get.
Piper: yeh well she's stubborn
Paige: like a Halliwell
Piper: like a Warren
Phoebe: yeh until she gets a demon who'll follow her home and kill her
Paige: she's damn near immortal
Phoebe: I'm just worried about her
Parker comes thru the backdoor. Phoebe's eyes light up when she see's her. She gets up and wraps her arms around her planting a kiss on her lips.
Phoebe: mmm... good morning
Parker: morning
Piper: you sure are chipper today
Parker: Paige, Im chipper everyday.
Piper: good grab that tray of cookies mrs. Happy
She passes Piper the tray.
Piper: nooo. You take those to the car and I'll carry these. I have cookie day at Wyatt's school.
Parker: well isn't that fun.
They head out towards Piper's car
Parker: be right back
Phoebe: don't take too long. I miss you already!
They smile at each other as Phoebe plants kisses on her lips.
Paige: oh god, please. Enough of the mushy stuff
Phoebe: hey we don't say anything when you and Henry are at it.
Parker: that's right, you tell her
Leo walks in with Chris and sits him next to Wyatt who's still eating breakfast.
Leo: where's Piper?
Phoebe: awww! Let me see my handsome nephew.
Paige: she and Parker went to the car.
Leo: Well we gotta get to work on this house early today
Phoebe: yeh about that. she has to take me to work. My cars still in the shop till tomorrow.
Leo: that's fine. She's got the address. Here let me start feeding Chris.
She hands Chris to Leo
Paige: so this house of yours is probably older than you huh?
Leo smiles
Leo: no its not that old but the past owners haven't kept it up. So it does look old n dilapidated. We're gonna do some serious work to it. And in a couple of months it'll be good as new and ready for the new owners. Of course it won't be as beautiful as the manor but it'll be just as good.
Phoebe: well with you two on the job the new owners will love it.
Piper and Parker come back in the kitchen. Their talking about Parker eating one of the cookies from the trays.
Parker: I was hungry.
Piper: there's food in the kitchen
Parker: Piper it's a cookie
Piper: don't let Wyatt see you eating that
Parker: yes ma'am
She salutes Piper. Piper heads over to her men and gives Chris a kiss
Piper: good morning little guy
Leo: hey Parker? Phoebe already told me about you taking her to work so get there when you can.
Parker: I think I'm just gonna let her take the car. I really wanna get to work. Is that okay with you Pheebs?
Phoebe: yeh
Leo: ok that's settled. Lets go
Leo kisses Piper and the boys goodbye, Parker does the same with Phoebe and hands her the keys. She slips the rest of her cookie to Wyatt as they head out.
Leo: you think they know what we're up to?
Parker: I hope not
They jump in Leo's truck and drive off
Piper: so what were you dreaming about last night?
Phoebe: nothing
Paige: nothing? Even I heard you
Phoebe: I'm sorry guys. I didn't mean to keep you up. If Parker would stay with me at night I wouldn't be having these screwed up nightmares.
She didn't mean to say that, but it had slipped her lips and it was too late to try and cover it up.
Piper: nightmares?
Paige: about what?
Phoebe: nothing. I'd better get going.
She stands and heads out the door leaving her two sisters in the kitchen, wondering about what she been going thru.
Leo and Parker drove around for a half an hour before they head to their worksite. They park the truck in the garage of the house their working on.
There are already men inside and outside working. The two stand in front of the house looking at it.
Parker: this is great. We get an ass load of money to work on a house I'm just gonna buy when its done, for less. Phoebe's gonna love this.
Leo: they all are. They get to stay together
Parker: like their supposed to be. I already told the realtor I wanted to buy it. Of course I called instead of going to see her.
Leo: smart. Oh here she comes
Realtor: hello. How's it coming?
Leo: great! In about 5 months...it'll be done.
He looks at Parker
Leo: the new owners will love it
Realtor: its great you mention it. I got a call from a buyer last week. They wanna buy it. Even put down quiet a large deposit too.
Parker: wow that's great.
Realtor: yes and I've seen the work your company does, that's why I hired you.
Parker: and we're very grateful for your business, but if you'll excuse us we have tons of work to do.
Realtor: all work and no play huh?
Parker: yes ma'am. Excuse us
They start up the steps towards the house to start work.
Leo: what was that all about?
Parker: I don't want her to recognize my voice. Plus she was giving me the eyes
Leo: the eyes?
Parker: the eyes
Leo: what eyes
She gives Leo a look.
Parker: you've been married too long
