Police Invasion
"What? Now?" Piper asked forcefully, surprised. The Nurse just raised her eyebrows at Piper and Piper let out a sigh. "Do I need to wake her?" She asked.
"I guess I can get them to wait a little while." The Nurse offered.
"She can't talk to them right now."
"Okay, I'll have Dr. Mason speak to them."
"Thank you," Piper said gratefully as the Nurse left the room.
Piper sighed loudly and ran her hand through her hair.
"What are we gonna do with you. Hey?" She said looking at Phoebe.
Prue had returned about an hour later from her walk, looking significantly calmer than before. Piper cast a glance a Prue. She seemed to be in another world.
"Prue?" She asked. Prue didn't respond. "Prue!"
"Huh, w.what?" Prue looked up, slightly confused.
"You okay?"
Prue sighed. "Yeah, it's just this whole situation."
"Yeah, I know." Piper agreed. "Um, Prue. After you, err, left for your walk, the police."
Prue's head shot up. "Police?"
"Yes, they, um, they arrived. They wanted to talk to Phoebe but she was asleep, so I told them to wait."
"Good." Prue said. There was a long silence before Prue's head sank into her waiting hands. "Oh god, Piper. This is all my fau."
"Don't even say it." Piper interjected.
"But."
"No, Prue. Don't go there with the guilt thing. I can't handle you AND Phoebe right now."
Prue sighed. It didn't matter what she said, she still felt guilty. Guilty that she had made Phoebe go to New York in the first place. If it hadn't been for her accusing her of something that she didn't even do, Phoebe would still have been at home. And this would never have happened. Prue's thoughts were interrupted as a groan came from across the room. Both Prue and Piper looked up to see Phoebe groggily opening her eyes.
They both quickly rushed to her side. Prue held back slightly, not sure if Phoebe would want her to be close to her.
Phoebe attempted to sit up, slightly disorientated. Suddenly, everything came back to her, like a tidal wave of emotions. She realised that she was going to be forced to see the police if she stayed where she was. Desperate to get away, she tried to push her legs over the side of the bed and yank the IV line out of her arm. But Piper was to quick for her and held her hand over where the IV line was, while carefully pushing her back onto the bed.
"Hey, it's okay sweetie. You're all right. Calm down. Shh. Lay back down, honey. That's it. Good girl." She comforted and she lowered her frightened sister back onto the bed. She gently stroked her sister's head, in an attempt to calm her down. "You're okay, honey."
Piper and Prue shared a look, both thinking the same thing. The police. How the hell were they going to tell Phoebe that the police were here already and needed to talk to her? The sister's continued their eye-contact conversation and agreed not to tell her yet.
"How's your arm feeling Pheebs?" Piper asked gently.
Phoebe didn't answer her sister. Her thoughts were going wild. What would happen if Sean found out that she was in the hospital? And that the police knew what was going on? Oh god, she thought, what if he hurts Prue and Piper? She knew she'd never be able to live with that. Knowing that she was the cause of them being hurt.
Prue decided that she was going to try and get Phoebe to open up to her. And she knew how she could do it, although she knew Piper would most definitely not approve.
"Oh god Pheebs. I am so sorry. This is all my fault." She said, walking over to Phoebe. She knew she was playing dirty, and she knew Phoebe's guilt would be intensified by it. But she also knew that this could well be the key to getting her to open up. Looking up at Piper, she could see the fury in her eyes.
"No Prue. It's not your fault." Phoebe said, tears brimming in her eye sockets. "It's my fault. I should have done what he said."
"Who? Who's he?" Prue asked.
Phoebe didn't answer her sister. Instead she let the tears role down her face.
"It's okay honey." Piper said, once again stroking her sister's back in an attempt to calm her. "You don't have to tell us right now."
"Those guys, however, are a different story." Prue said, motioning to the window in her sister's hospital room. Standing outside of the door were two police officers and the Nurse that came to tell Piper the police were here when they first arrived.
"Oh no. Oh god. No, no no no no. I can't talk to them. I can't. Piper?" She said, looking up at her sister for help. "Please Piper, I can't talk to them. He'll come looking. He'll find me, and you." Phoebe's eyes began to dart the room, as if she thought he could be hiding in the shadows watching them as she spoke.
"Pheebs, honey. Calm down. Just answer what you can. You don't have to tell them everything right now. You don't have to tell them who 'he' is. Just relax honey."
The Nurse popped her head into the room just as Piper finished what she was saying
"Miss Halliwell? The police are here, again. They really need to talk to your sister." Phoebe shot Piper one last desperate look, but Piper ignored it.
"Let them in."
Two young police officers entered Phoebe's room. God, its getting quite crowded in here, Prue thought to her self. Phoebe's room was only little and there were now five of them and a bed squeezed into it.
The three sisters stared at the two officers. One was male and looked quite uncomfortable with the woman to man ratio in the room, and the other female officer looked surprisingly calm and gentle. The female officer took the liberty of introducing the two of them.
"Hi. I'm Detective Anna Morris, and this is my partner, Detective Marcus Costello. You're Phoebe, I presume." She said, looking at Phoebe. Phoebe nodded in response but said nothing. "Would it be okay if I asked you a couple of questions? Your sisters can stay with you if you like. And if you wanted, we could send Marcus out." Phoebe nodded. Anna motioned for Marcus to leave the room and he did so without complaining.
"Okay, well Dr. Mason informed me of your injuries and I think we can all guess what has happened to you." Phoebe looked down. "Phoebe, I know this is probably scary and has never happened to you before." Phoebe let out a sarcastic laugh. Prue, Piper and Anna all shared a look. "So, this has happened before?" Anna inquired. Phoebe shrugged. "Phoebe, this is important. If this has happened before it could happen again."
"Why do you think I'm not telling you anything?" Phoebe blurted out.
"Look, I know you think that if you say nothing everything will be all right. And I know you'll probably think this sounds cliché, but if you talk to us, we can help you. We can put whoever did this behind bars, so he can't hurt you anymore."
"Yeah, but what about when he comes out? What can you do then? You can't keep track of him 24 7. He'll know I was the one that told you, and he'll come looking for me and my sisters!" Phoebe raised her voice. The room was silent as Phoebe added quietly. "I can't let that happen. I can't let them get hurt because of me." Phoebe started to cry and Anna knew it was useless to try and get information out of her while she was this distressed.
"Okay, Phoebe. We'll leave the questions for now. I will however, need Dr. Mason to give you a vaginal examination. Just to confirm everything. Phoebe nodded, showing she understood, but didn't stop crying. Anna nodded at her sisters before quickly exiting the room.
"Oh Pheebs." Piper said as she put her arms around her sister, once again trying to calm Phoebe.
It took a while, but the sisters managed to get Phoebe calmed. They knew that whoever did this to their sister, knew her pretty intimately and had beaten Phoebe down to a distressing status.
About half an hour later, Dr. Mason had come in to examine Phoebe. Phoebe didn't want Prue and Piper in there with her, so they waited impatiently outside.
"Oh god, Piper. I can't believe it. He did this more than once! I tell you, whoever this guy is, I'll kill him. With my bare hands if I have to. He touched my baby in ways I don't wanna even think about."
"I know Prue. I'm angry too."
"Angry? Piper, I am way past angry, hell, I'm way past furious!"
"So am I Prue. But being mad isn't going to help Phoebe. We need to stay calm and focussed, for her sake just as much as ours." Piper reasoned.
"I know. It's just hard. I mean, I promised mom." Prue's voice cracked. She hated talking about her parents. "I promised her I would take care of you guys. That I'd never let anything bad happen to you. And look what I let happen." Prue said, pointing sharply to their sister's room.
"Prue, this is not your fault. We've been over this. What ever happened was not your fault. This guy has his own brain and is responsible for his own actions."
"I can't help it though, Piper. Every time I look at her, I feel like I've let her down." Prue said empathically.
"Oh Prue." Piper said, reaching over and pulling her sister into a hug. "We're gonna get through this Prue, together."
Just then, the doctor came out of Phoebe's room. He walked over to the sisters, making sure there was no one to hear their conversation he said, "I can confirm that your sister was raped." Neither sister reacted to this news. They'd expected as much. "I also found some old markings, which have been there much longer that than the new ones. I would suggest that this has happened before."
Prue sighed. "We thought as much. Thank you doctor. Can we see her now?"
The doctor nodded before saying. "She should be able to go home in the morning. Just come and find me for her release papers." The sisters nodded before Dr. Mason turned and walked away.
Phoebe was panicking, thinking about what the doctor had just told her. How could this happen? She wasn't ready for this. This would tie her Sean forever. Oh god, this is such an unbelievable mess. She thought back to when he had told her. "The blood tests came back with a surprising result Miss Halliwell. You're pregnant."
"What? Now?" Piper asked forcefully, surprised. The Nurse just raised her eyebrows at Piper and Piper let out a sigh. "Do I need to wake her?" She asked.
"I guess I can get them to wait a little while." The Nurse offered.
"She can't talk to them right now."
"Okay, I'll have Dr. Mason speak to them."
"Thank you," Piper said gratefully as the Nurse left the room.
