Disclaimer: Dooooooo noooot oooown Chaaaarmed. I repeat things too much don't you think? And I'm not talking about those double letters.

Chapter 05 – Late night sister talks.

She coughed weakly and blinked against the bright sunlight that shone through the window upon her face. ''It's blinding me.'' She whispered hoarsly. A small shape walked over to the window and closed the blinds.

''Is this better Sweetie?'' Piper's soft voice asked. Paige nodded slightly and took in her surroundings and pulled a face. She was still at the hospital. San Francisco Memorial. ''When can I get out of here?'' she asked annoyed. Piper took place on the seat that was standing next to the hospital bed and gave her sister a sympathetic look. ''I'm sorry Paige, but the doctors said that if you don't make any progress soon, you won't be able to go home.'' Paige shook her head and rapidly blinked the tears away that formed in the corner's of her eyes. ''Yes I do. I need to see Henry.''

''Paige, Henry moved out of town. I heard he's living in Chicago now.'' Phoebe stepped out of the shadows in the corner of the small room. ''No.'' Paige replied, not wanting to believe her. Piper tucked her in some more and kissed the side of her head softly, ''We're still here for you Paige.'' She said. ''No. No don't touch me. Don't look at me like that.'' Paige moved and looked away from her sister's hurt looks. She couldn't stand them any longer. ''Paige..'' Phoebe started, but Paige ignored her and closed her eyes. She was too tired to listen to them. Way too tired. ''Look what Henry has done is unforgivable, we know that. But you can't turn your back on us.'' Piper's voice sounded.

''Paige?'' Piper tapped her baby-sister's arm gently. ''Paige wake up. Say something! Phoebe go get a doctor this is wrong.'' Phoebe ran out of the room to look for a doctor as Piper's eyes filled themselves with tears. ''Paige don't leave us. You need to wake up do you hear me?'' But all Paige could hear was the faint 'beeeeep' of the monitor that she was attached to, before everything went completely silent.

Paige woke up with a start, panting. Her slipdress stuck to her back from sweating and she somehow had managed to tangle herself in the covers. She could still here the beeping in her head and glanced over to her nightstand only to discover that it was her alarmclock. Who put it at 4:00am? She wondered and turned it off quickly. She took a deep breath trying to recover from her terrifying dream. It had been so real.

She could basically feel her whole body aching like it had been aching in her dream. She licked her lips, they were dry, just like in her dream and she felt nauseaus. ''Henry?'' Paige glanced over at her other side and noticed that he wasn't there next to her like he usually was. She looked confused for a second and then remembered that he was staying over at a friends' house. Kirsten, that was her name.

Sure it was a woman, but Paige trusted him as much as he had said he trusted her. She had convinced Henry to go out with his friends, since he had tomorrow off anyway, but earlier that night Kirsten had phoned Paige asking if it was okay if Henry stayed at hers. He was too drunk to drive back home. Paige, obviously, had agreed with that and that was how she had ended up in bed on her own.

She let out a sigh and pushed her legs off the bed, she wouldn't get any sleep anymore now. Not after that nightmare. She knew that it wasn't real and if she'd be ill the Elders would probably be able to heal her, but she didn't want to go back to sleep without Henry there.

Paige picked her silky pink dressing gown up and pulled it on, shivering when the cold fabric touched the bare skin on her arms. She made her way over to the door and opened it quietly, making sure she wouldn't wake her sisters up, because the door sometimes cracked. Craack. Paige closed her eyes momentarily and listened if she heard her sisters. Not a sound. She left her bedroom and made her way down the hall as quiet as possible. Hot chocolate would probably help her to get back to sleep. Hot chocolate with marshmellows, if they still had any. Paige smiled at the thought of that delicious hot drink and walked down the stairs, her dressing gown trailing behind her.

Downstairs it was dark, understandable because it was a little after 4:00am, though it looked darker than usual. Paige ran her hand across the wall looking for the lightswitch, she found it and flicked it on, but nothing happened. Huh? Weird. Must be a powercut. She made her to the kitchen, and pushed the door open to find a shape sitting at the dinnertable. Back turned towards the doorway. ''Piper?''

''No it's me Sweetie.'' Phoebe's soft voice sounded quietly. ''Oh.'' Paige walked up to her older sister and gently placed her hand upon her shoulder, ''Are you okay?'' she asked.

Phoebe looked up. Her face was wet from tears that she had been crying earlier and she sobbed quietly. ''Been better.'' She gave Paige a weak smile.

Paige bit her lower lip gently and quickly took place next to her sister, ''Pheebs what's wrong?'' She placed her hand upon Phoebe's hand and looked at her with a worried look upon her delicate face. ''It's nothing. Never mind.'' Phoebe moved her hand and wiped the tears off her cheeks. Paige raised an eyebrow and gave her sister a look. ''Come on Pheebs. Do you really think that I don't know when you're lying?'' she said, causing Phoebe to grin.

''Can't blame a girl for trying can you?'' Paige gave her a look.

''Okay. I'll tell you, but it's a little pathetic.'' ''I'm listening.'' Paige replied. Phoebe looked at her and let out a sigh. ''I was dreaming. Coop and me had 3 gorgeous daughters, but they weren't his...''

''What do you mean? Whose were they?'' Paige held Phoebe's hand gently and Phoebe looked away. ''Cole's.'' She replied quietly. Paige pulled a confused face, ''But Pheebs, it was just a dream. Besides Cole's...'' ''- Dead I know, but sometimes I just really miss him. Sometimes I think that Coop will never be like Cole. I know it's awful, but I can't help it.'' Paige looked at her older sister. She had a guilty look on her face and she wouldn't look Paige straight in the eyes. Of course Paige had always hated Cole, but she had admired one thing about him, his loyalty and the way he could comfort Phoebe.

When Phoebe was upset he just needed to shimmer into the room and her face would lit up, with Coop it was different. If he walked into the room Phoebe's would get a guilty look on her face, it didn't take a scientist to notice that.

Well Cole would definately come in handy now.

Paige thought to herself. She moved closer to Phoebe and wrapped her in a sisterly hug. ''You don't need to feel guilty Sweetie. Cole was the love of your life, Coop knows that and he's okay with it.'' Phoebe sighed deeply and hugged back, ''I know. I shouldn't complain right? Coop's great.'' Paige smiled, ''Right. Don't dwell in the past.'' She said. Phoebe laughed slightly and let go of Paige. ''Look at you, sounding all wise.''

''I know. I guess I'm starting to sound like Piper.'' She pulled a face and got to her feet, ''Hot chocolate?'' Phoebe nodded intently, ''Sounds yummy. We should have some marshmellows left in one of the cupboards.''

''All over it.'' Paige made her way over to the counter and started to make hot chocolate. Phoebe watched her from where she was sat and put her feet up, ''What woke you up anyway?'' she asked curiously. Paige paused and bit her lower lip gently, ''Oh you know. Couldn't sleep anymore.'' She lied smoothly. The last thing she wanted to do was upsetting Phoebe with her own nightmare. ''Right.'' Phoebe got up and walked over to the lightswitch. She flicked it, but nothing happened. ''Hey. Powercut?''

''Think so.'' Paige placed an pan with milk on the fire and looked through the cupboards for a bag of marshmellows. Phoebe walked towards the fridge and opened it. ''You know I think.. yep. Piper left some bonbons.'' She said, taking a small box out and closing the fridge with her elbow. Paige laughed slightly, ''You do realise that we need to work-out for at least an hour if we eat all those?''

Phoebe grinned, ''Yeh, no worries I've got a husband to help me with that.'' She tossed the box onto the counter and moved herself onto it as well. ''You know that's a very good idea actually.'' Paige let out a giggle and took two mugs out of the cupboard. ''I know.'' Phoebe opened the box and took a bonbon out. ''Leo gave these to Piper right?''

''Hm. We'll buy her a new box.'' Paige replied. She poured the hot milk into the mugs and added some cocao-powder and sugar to it. Stirring it so it mixed. Phoebe took a bite of her bonbon and closed her eyes momentarily, enjoying the taste of chocolate and cherry filling on her tongue. Paige added some marshmellows to the hot brown liquid and handed a mug to her older sister, ''There you go. One cup of anti-nightmare.'' She smiled.

''Thanks. Oh hot.'' Phoebe wrapped her fingers around the mug and took a small sip. ''Well Paige, even though you're a crappy cook you sure know how to make hot chocolate.'' She teased and laughed when Paige threw her bonbon at her. ''Hey! Those are too nice to throw.'' Paige gave her an innocent smile in return and sipped at her drink. It had been a while since she had had so much fun with her sisters, especially after she and Henry had bought their own house, but it felt good to know that they still loved her as much as before and that certainly helped Paige to see the future more bright. If she'd become sick or not, she knew her sisters would be there for her.

Her thoughts were interuppted by something that fell into her hot chocolate. She looked down at her cup, in which a bonbon was floating, and then looked at Phoebe who bit her lip, doing all she could not to burst out in laughing.

''Oops.''
