A/N: I know I said Chapter 2 would be longer, but I think it would work
better this way. Please R/R & Thanks to all of you who have!
I*/ = Piper Flashback
The EMTs unloaded Piper into the emergency room, where several doctors quickly took over her care. A nurse escorted, a crying, Patty, out to the waiting room and stayed with her until Lynne arrived with a silently sobbing Prue and Leo, who was still shaking. Lynne hugged her best friend.
Lynne: "Have they told you anything?"
Patty took a deep breath, "No, they're still working on her"
Lynne: "I tried to leave Prue and Leo with your mom and Phoebe, but…" glances towards the children "Pipah…Pipah…." Leo is mumbling over and over to himself…. "I figured it would be better to bring them with me"
The door opens; the doctor walks out "Ms. Halliwell?" "Yes," Patty answers. "How is she?" "My name is Dr Thompson, we've got her stabilized, we had to drain fluid from the brain, but there still severe swelling and if that doesn't improve her chances of surviving are slim and if she does survive some type of brain damage is likely, the next 48 hours are critical…"
I*/ Piper: "Hi, my name is Pipah. Who are you?"
Leo: "Leo"
Piper: "You wanna come play in my room?"
Leo: "Sure!"
Piper takes Leo's hand and leads him up the stairs. Leaving their parents staring after them in amazement. Piper and Leo were both extremely shy. As far their parents knew it was the first time that either of their children had spoken anyone that didn't live in their homes. In fact Piper hardly talked to her sisters, Prue and Phoebe. Leo never spoke to anyone first, even his mother.i
From that day, they became inseparable. Every day from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, at 8:00 Leo would knock on the door, "Hi Pipah's mom" he would say, as Piper came down the stairs ready for whatever adventures the day held. At noon, they would eat lunch (Patty and Lynne had agreed to feed the children alternating weeks) At 6:00 Piper and Leo went to his house, where she would drop him off, as Prue waited at the end of the drive for their walk home. Day after Day… I*/
"Can we see her?" Patty asked the doctor.
"You can, but in a few minutes after we get her settled in a room. There are no children allowed. She's going to have tubes everywhere and her coloring will be very, yellow because of the medication" the doctor replied.
Nurse: "Ms. Halliwell, follow me, please."
