A/N: This is my first attempt at fanfiction. This is a Phillie story that means it will depict a romantic relationship between two women. If you don't like don't read. I do not own Charmed or any of it's characters. The title of this fic comes from the lyrics of the song Halo by Beyonce. I don't own that either. Okay now that that's over with on to the story.

Phoebe

I can't believe this is happening. I am being force to sit here and watch helplessly as Billie slowly deteriorates in front of my eyes. Piper and Paige went off to talk to Agent Murphy and I hope they figure something out. I sat beside Billie with a cup of water and helper her drink.

"Thank you," she said after she sipped slowly. "I must be really bad off if you're waiting on me hand and foot."

"Well don't get used to it because you're going to be just fine," I tell her.

"I'm dying aren't I?" she asked.

"No you are not dying," I told her unsure whether I was convincing her or myself. "Listen, do you know how many times I've almost died in the last seven years?"

"Yeah, but this is different," Billie told me, "I'm sorry I should have listened to you."

"No stop it. It's okay. We're gonna save you and we're gonna save magic while we're at it."

"How can you save magic if you don't even believe in your own anymore?" she asked. When I gave her a confused look she continued. "I heard you talking to Piper."

I look at her and realized she was absolutely right. How could I expect to save magic if I don't believe in my own? That was something I would have to consider. I stood to go to the kitchen. Billie's hand shot out and grabbed mine with surprising speed and strength for someone as frail as she was.

"Wait! I didn't mean to upset you," she said.

"I'm not upset. I'm just going to the kitchen to get you some ice," I tell her and attempt to move towards the kitchen again, but she still is holding on to my hand. "Billie you have to let me go."

"Phoebe, if I die-" she started before I cut her off.

"You're not going to die."

"Phoebe, please let me finish. If I die I'm not going to die a coward, so there is something I have to tell you. I like you," she told me.

I chuckled before responding," I'm quite fond you, too, Billie.

"I'm not finished. I really like you. I might possibly be falling in love with you, and before I die I just want to know what it would feel like to kiss you, just once," she told me.

I was shocked beyond belief, but when I looked into her eyes I could tell she was completely serious. There was such warmth and love I couldn't bring myself to deny her. I knelt beside her, leaned towards her, and kissed her softly on the lips. When I kissed her I felt the most intense energy flow between us, and then for the first time in my life I felt completely whole. I pulled away and stood quickly.

"I'm going to go get that ice now," I said making my way towards the kitchen before she could stop me.

I try to get ice from the ice machine in the kitchen, but it's completely empty. I threw the bowl onto the counter and threw myself into a chair at the table. I groaned frustrated into my hands. It seems that magic takes away everything that I love away from me, Mom, Prue, Cole, Drake, and now Billie. After that kiss, I feel like there could really be something there. Something we may never be able to explore because she's dying from a magical virus. I sow blue orbs as Piper and Paige return from their meeting with Murphy. I wipe the tears that had yet to fall from my eyes and sat up.

"How's Billie?" Paige asked as she shrugged out of her jacket.

"Not good," I tell her before asking, "So what did you find out?"

"It was a government experiment. They mixed some things they shouldn't have," Piper said.

"Basically, their demon was the outbreak monkey that caused all of this," Paige finished.

This gave me some hope. "Okay well if they created it then they must have a cure, right?"

"Well they don't know how they created it for sure," Piper told me.

I felt horrible. This was Billie's only chance and I wasn't going to let it slip away that easily. "You don't know that. For all we know this could have been their intention. We have to go back."

"Phoebe, sweetie, it's not a conspiracy. They just screwed up. We had a shot at a cure and they screwed that up too," Piper told me.

A cure? We might still be able to save her. "What shot?" I ask.

"They injected somebody with Krychek blood and it had no effect," Paige said.

This has to be it. "Okay maybe the cure is in the blood right?"

Piper took a deep breath and showed me some army tags. "Okay this is all we got and what we don't have is enough time. We've got to find this Patient X, convince him to give us some of his blood so we can make an antidote, fix that so we can fix Billie. Even if we pooled all of our powers together, there still wouldn't be enough time."

I resolved myself. Even if there was a miniscule chance that we could save Billie we had to try. "Then we'll just have to get stronger. Let's get Billie to infect us."

"What? Are you nuts? Phoebe we could die," Paige said.

"Not if we find the antidote first," I argue.

"Still there is no guarantee that it would work. It's still very risky," Piper put in.

I can fell Billie's last chance slipping away from me. "Oh yeah. Tell that to Billie. Look I don't see the point of having powers if we can't use them to save the people we care about."

I can see from the looks on their faces that I have won. I jump up and rush to Billie's side. In the time that I had been gone she had fallen asleep. I wake her up and smile down at her.

"I think we may have figure out a way to save you but we're going to need your help," I tell her picking up the athame.

When she realized what I was about to she started mumbling, "Wait. No, no."

"It's okay. Trust us. Trust me," I tell her cutting my hand before passing it on to Piper.

As Piper is cutting Paige I place my cut hand gently against the cut on her neck. I leaned in and kissed her gently on the cheek before presenting my hand to piper and Paige. Just as we are combining our hands Billie began to spasm and Piper froze her.

"How long will it last?" Paige asked.

"Hopefully long enough," Piper told her.

After the virus changed us into the She-Hulk witches we were able to find Patient X and get the cure to the Elders so they could cure all magical beings including us and Billie. After Billie was administered the antidote she still didn't wake up, but we were told that the virus drained a lot out of her so she would have to sleep it off and she would be fine in the morning. I spend the night watching over her. Although it did make me feel like a bit of a creeper I had to make sure she was okay. I only had to make sure she was okay. I only left her side when Piper forced me upstairs to shower and change out of my tattered clothes. When I saw Billie's breathing become slightly more shallow I knew she was about to wake up. I got up and went to the kitchen to make her some tea and when I got back she was siting straight up looking around.

"Easy there," I tell her handing her the tea and sitting beside her.

"What happened?" she asked sipping her tea slowly.

"Long story short? We Hulked out, kicked some ass, and saved the world. Just another day in the office," I joked.

"Yeah I can see that," Billie said feeling for her scar.

"We got the antidote to the elders and everyone is being administered the cure as we speak," I told her.

"And the demons?" she asked.

"They got it, too," I shrugged.

"You guys risked yourselves to save me," Billie said.

"Well we have to keep you around so you can find your sister. Plus we think of you as part of the family we're not going to let anything happen to you. There are also a few things between us that need to be worked out," I said lacing our fingers together.

Before she could say anything in response Paige and Piper orbed in and told us that Agent Murphy considered us too much trouble s we probably wouldn't be hearing much from him anymore. Then Paige left to check on henry and the baby and Piper went to go finish packing for her ski trip with Leo leaving Billie and I alone again.

"When I was sick-" Billie started then she left the rest of her sentence hanging.

"We kissed," I finished.

""So it wasn't just my mind fading into delirium? It actually happened?" she asked excitedly.

Rather than answer her question I leaned forward and kiss her again. After a couple of seconds she responded with vigor. When we pulled away a yawn escaped her mouth and her eyes went wide.

"That wasn't because of the kiss. It's just-"

"I know you're still a little tired from your ordeal. How about you go sleep it off in my room and we could discuss it more when you wake up?"

She nodded and I took her to my room. She laid down on the bed and I covered her with the quilt Grams made for me before kissing her lightly on the lips, and leaving her to get some more sleep. As I was passing the nursery I was drawn to Chris's baby blanket. I went in, picked it up, am pulled into a vision. It's one I've had before with me talking to my daughter but this time it was different. She turned towards me and she stood up an came to me.

"I've been expecting you," future me said.

"Really? How?" I asked.

"Because six years ago I was you standing there talking to me," she told me.

"If six years ago you were me then who were you talking to?" I asked.

"Donvt over think it you'll hurt our head," she said to me laughing.

"Our head?" I asked with a raised brow.

"The important thing," she began ignoring my question, "is that you're here now. And for a reason, to find answers."

"Okay, listen, don't get all criptic on me. Not after the day I've had," I said.

"I remember the day you've had. It's the day you lost faith in your premonitions because of all your disappointments. You were promised something, something that means the world to you, and you're afraid you might not get it."

"Will I?" I asked.

"Yes, I'm living proof of that, and so is she," she said pointing towards our daughter. I look at the girl and can't help but smile before turning back towards me. "You will have all this. Just remember to follow your heart. I promise it won't lead you astray."

Then I was pulled out of the vision. I was mulling over the conversation in my head when I heard Piper behind me.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"Never better," I told her. She smiled and nodded. She looked like she wanted to say something else, but she couldn't quite get it out. "Is there something else, Piper?"

"I saw you," she said. When she saw me furrow my eyebrows she elaborated. "I had come downstairs to check the closet for my ski-boots, and I saw you and Billie on the couch doing more than talking."

This time I got it and my eyes went wide, "Piper, I-"

She raised her hand to cut me off which is just as well because I had no idea what exactly to say. "Phoebe, I know you are both adults, but I wouldn't be me if I didn't say this. Are you insane? You're twenty-nine and she's barely old enough to drink. We are supposed to be looking after and training her."

"Piper maybe you should take a step back and look at your relationship before you judge mine. Leo is at least fifty years older than you and he was our Whitelighter," I told her.

"That was different!" she said.

"How so?" I asked before shaking my head and taking a deep breath. "Look, Piper, I nothing happened between us before today. Billie's dying wish was to be able to kiss me, and when we did I felt like I was on fire. Even though I was out of my mind with worry about Billie, when I kissed her all that didn't matter. Everything was right in the world and I felt complete for the first time. I know it sounds crazy-"

"No, Phoebe, I get it. That's how I felt when I first kissed Leo," Piper told me with a fond smile. "If you really want this then I'm fine. Who am I to stand in the way of true love? Just be careful, I've grown quite fond of Billie and I don't want either one of you getting hurt."

I threw my arms around her and kissed her on the cheek. "You are the best big sister ever."

"Yeah, yeah, I know," she said smiling lightly as she slipped out of my grip. "Now I have a vacation to get ready for and you have a girl to tend to, so scoot."

A/n:What do you think should I continue? Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Also what do you think about my characterizing of Piper. I figured she would be the one more excepting of this relationship since she was the one more open when Phoebe was with Cole. Please review.
