Phoebe didn't know how long she had been conscious for. She had yet to discover the courage to open her eyes. She took in her surroundings with her other four senses. She could feel the destruction to her body; she didn't need to see the multiple bruises. She could smell the disinfectant she didn't need to see the room to tell she was in hospital. She could taste the sourness of the medicine that made her mouth dehydrated, she didn't need to see the syringes or I.V to know she had been pumped full of pain killers. She could hear the voices of her sisters, she didn't have to see their faces to realise they were in pain watching their little sister.
"When is that Doctor coming? It's been well over an hour now" Sighed Prue pacing up and down the small room.
"Calm down Prue, they are waiting for tests" Reasoned Piper
"Don't tell me to calm down, have you seen her Pi.." Prue started but was cut off from Phoebe
"Hey guys please don't argue, I don't need to add to this headache. Believe me."
Both Prue and Piper shot towards her on the bed. "Oh my god are you okay lil one?" Prue asked looking at her little sister who looked swallowed up in the huge white metal bed.
"I have felt better, I won't lie sis. The worst thing of all though is this stupid itchy green blanket. I mean people can fly to the moon, shop with a little plastic card and buy a cat with no fur. But can you get a hypoallergenic cotton duvet in a hospital? No the answer is no" Phoebe spoke quietly with a smile foolishly hoping it would stop her sisters asking questions
"How are you feeling hunnie? What happened?" Piper asked stroking Phoebes forehead
"Erm…I…I …Not sure really…Bit of a blank….I..I hurt a little" Phoebe voices trying to hide the panic
"Pheebs did you get a look at the Demon?" Prue quizzed
"Demon?" Phoebe asked looking confused
"Yeah baby. The one who attacked you? I saw that there had been a fight at the top of the stairs. I mean the picture frame was off the wall and Grams old wooden side table had been thrown in the other direction. It was a Demon wasn't it?" Prue asked looking worried
"Yeah….yeah it was a Demon. I can't remember what it looked like though….sorry" Phoebe whispered looking everywhere but her sisters eyes.
"Don't worry about that now honey. Just concentrate on getting better" Piper said glaring at Prue as if to say back off.
Prue was about to speak but she was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Phoebe Halliwell?" A youngish dark haired man asked. He must have been nearing six foot. Solid build and piercing blue eyes. Phoebe clocked Piper smile at him. A Smile that he returned.
"My name is Doctor Griffiths. I have all of you results" Phoebe nearly let out a chuckle as she saw Piper practically start to hyperventilate at the word Doctor.
"Do you want us to speak alone?" He asked "No she would like us to stay thank you Doc" Smiled Prue crossing her arms.
Dr Griffiths looked at Phoebe to make sure she was happy with that "Yeah that's fine" Phoebe murmured starting to hyperventilating herself.
"First of all I have some bad news. I am very sorry but you have lost your baby Miss Halliwell"
Prue sighed and ran her had threw her hair. Piper started to cry and reached for Phoebes had. Phoebe felt numb; she just nodded her head for the Doctor to continue.
"You also have three broken ribs, you right leg is fractured and displaced, you have a broken shoulder and a concussion. You also have a fair amount of bruises." Dr Griffiths finished
"So where do we go from here Doc? What pain meds? How long in here? What period of time are we looking at for rehabilitation?" Prue started looking half crazed
"We will be sending in a nurse to go through all those details with you Miss Halliwell. I am however quite concerned with some of your sisters injury's" Replied Dr Griffiths
"Well I hope you are concerned!" Spat Prue
"What Prue should have said Dr is in what way are you concerned?" Piper smiled ignoring Prue's gaze.
"Well her bruises for example are at different stages of healing. Meaning they have been there before today. Her shoulder has actually started to mend as if it had been broken for a while?" Dr Griffiths spoke directly to Prue and Piper.
"Wa…I don't understand. How…When. Phoebe?" Prue splutterd
Phoebe did what she was good at and that was staying completely motionless and mute
"It could be easily explained. Phoebe do you play any sports?" asked the Doctor hopefully
"No" she whispered
"Right. Phoebe has anyone attacked you? Has this happened before?" Doctor Griffiths said seriously
"Erm no…I just fell…Wasn't attacked. I did fall a month or two ago" Phoebe stammered looking at Prue for support.
Prue cottoned on. "I will speak to her Doctor, What time will the nurse becoming?" Aksed Prue
Doctor Griffiths looked taken back "Yes okay. Well she will be no longer than an hour" He said reaching for the door.
Phoebe mentally sighed in relief as the door shut. "Thanks sis. Close call on the Demon's hey? We could get a degree" Phoebe smiled again trying to distract her sisters.
"Phoebe what the hell is going on? You have just been told you had a miscarriage and you cracking jokes? I want to know exactly what has happened to you. How did you get the broken shoulder?" Asked Prue worry painted on her face
"I fell down the stairs Prue.." Phoebe lied
"Not what the qualified Doctor said!" Prue shot back
"Phoebe Prue is right. The Doctor knows what he is talking about. He also mentioned your bruises." Piper said not letting go of Phoebe's hand.
"Can I see your bruises Phoebe?" Prue asked kindly
"No..please just leave it" Phoebe shot back
Prue walked towards Phoebe and reached out for her top
Phoebe cringed and pushed herself further up the bed
"Please just leave me alone. Don't touch me again. Stop" Phoebe panicked with her right arm above her head
"Prue stop. Stop" Piper shouted. "Are you okay phoebe? It's just us lil one what's wrong" Piper continued.
Phoebe couldn't breathe, she felt like she was with him again. Everything felt blurry and confusing.
"Stop calling me lil one you bastard! Please…Please just…just leave me alone" Phoebe sobbed.
"Prue what? Why is she? What has happen to our little sister?" Piper whimpered.
"I don't know. But I would love to find out who the bastard is that she is speaking about. I am going to skin the mother fucker alive" Prue roared as she watched her baby sister vibrate with fear while using her arm as a shield.
