Well, Yello13 gave me a good idea for Jerome's people, and in a few chapters I'll implement some of them. If anyone else wants something implemented leave a review and I will definitely consider adding it in, assuming it doesn't contradict anything I've already done.

Chapter 12:

Jerome Orbed back to the manor, and immediately smelled something burning. He heard Piper yell from the kitchen and open the oven. Jerome walked into the kitchen and saw Piper take out a burnt pizza from the oven. "Trouble cooking?" Jerome asked.

Piper jumped. "Don't do that! And no, I'm not having any cooking problems! I was just a bit distracted with Paige. She's gotten worse. Her fever is so high that we had to submerge her in a tub of freezing water to cool her down. She didn't take it too well," Piper said.

"Great. So, what do you want me to do?" Jerome asked. The way he asked it, with a sense of duty and a lack of caring or compassion, irritated Piper. He seemed to be under the impression that taking care of a sick Paige was just a job that he had to get over with.

"You can start by helping Phoebe while I try to get something edible made," Piper said. Jerome turned and walked up the stairs. He heard the sound of a struggle coming from the bathroom and turned to see Paige in a tub full of ice water, struggling to get out, and Phoebe trying really hard to keep her in.

"Paige, you have to stay in here for a few more minutes. Otherwise, your dangerously high fever won't go down. Please, calm down," Phoebe said soothingly to Paige. Paige stopped struggling and seemed to calm down. Jerome knocked on the door frame to alert Phoebe to his presence.

Phoebe turned and looked, giving Jerome a look that said "What do you want?"

"Piper sent me to help," Jerome said.

"Well, you can start by getting Paige some warm clothes to get into when she's done in the ice tub," Phoebe said.

Jerome hesitated. "It's late enough in the day that I'd be willing to risk healing her. Sleep restores the body's energy miraculously fast," Jerome said.

Paige looked up, excited. But Phoebe shook her head. "No, we are perfectly capable of taking care of our sister without using your powers." Paige looked a bit angry, but wisely stayed quiet.

"I suggest you think about it first. I'm not offering again," Jerome said. Jerome left to get warm clothes for Paige. He quickly decided that looking for any would take him too long; he had no idea how mortals, yet alone women, organized their clothing. He telekinetically Orbed some warm clothes and brought them to Phoebe. Phoebe took them, and then told him to leave. Jerome obeyed.

Jerome waited outside the bathroom door. He heard Phoebe and Paige arguing about him healing Paige. It seemed that Phoebe was winning. Then Jerome heard Paige have a small sneezing fit, along with several arguments about revealing magic afterwords. Eventually Phoebe ended the argument by saying that they'd ask Piper about it and see what she thinks. Paige seemed to agree, though somewhat reluctantly. Phoebe led a fully dressed Paige back to her bedroom. Paige seemed to have difficulty walking on her own, since Phoebe was holding her up and was practically carrying her.

Phoebe got Paige into her bed, and almost immediately Piper entered Paige's room. "Dinner's ready, do you want me to bring it up here?" Piper asked.

"Tell her!" Paige encouraged Phoebe.

"Tell me what?" Piper asked.

"Uh, Jerome offered to heal Paige, but he's only making this offer tonight," Phoebe said.

"And you haven't accepted yet? Get him in here," Piper said.

"Well, I don't trust him and we are more than capable of taking care of her," Phoebe said.

"Well, what if a demon attacks? I wouldn't put it past the Source to attack now, when we're vulnerable. And if the Source attacks, we'll need the Power of Three to vanquish him," Piper said.

"Well, yeah, but..." Phoebe stuttered.

"She's stuttering," Paige said.

"Yep. Jerome! Come heal Paige!" Piper yelled.

"So, you decided to take me up on my offer after all. Fine, give me some space," Jerome said as he entered Paige's room.

"Wait, first I have a question for you. How do you plan on healing Paige if you don't have that power?" Phoebe asked.

"I can still use those powers, they just consume a lot of my body's energy. I was going to expend my own energy, tonight only, and use it to heal Paige. Hopefully dinner and a good nights sleep will restore most of the energy I'm going to lose healing her," Jerome replied.

"Yeah, okay, heal her," Piper said. Jerome pointed his hand at Paige and shot a blast of golden light at her from the palm of his hand. After a few seconds, Jerome collapsed. Piper went to check on Jerome while Phoebe observed Paige.

"So, how are you feeling?" Phoebe asked.

"Much, much better. I've never seen anyone heal like that, though," Paige replied.

"Well, he's a powerful guy. Leo couldn't heal you, but he could. I guess that's why it looks different," Phoebe replied.

Jerome stirred. His eyes opened, and he said "You're welcome." He tried standing, but couldn't do it on his own. Piper had to help him up.

Paige was about to thank him, when she sneezed. Once she Orbed back in, she asked Jerome "Why am I still sneezing? I thought you healed me."

"I did, but it took too much energy. I wasn't able to completely heal you. You basically have a bad cold now, instead of that horribly nasty fever you had before," Jerome replied. "Now, what's for dinner?"

Piper and Phoebe had to help Jerome down the stairs into the kitchen. Paige followed, sniffling the whole way down. "I think you actually made my sinuses worse," Paige complained.

"Odds are, the fever and all the other stuff was your body prioritizing what afflictions to deal with first, and after I healed those afflictions your body focused on your sinuses," Jerome said.

"Besides, beats being unable to walk and having such a high fever that we had to bathe you in ice water," Piper said. Paige stuck her tongue out at her.

They finished dinner about an hour later. Piper had to make several more pizzas, since Jerome seemed like a bottomless pit at the time. He single-handedly ate three full sized pizzas and about half of several others. The halves were because Piper told him to leave some for the rest of them. Jerome said it was due to all the energy he used healing Paige. Paige looked guilty, but tried to hide it. Neither Piper nor Phoebe noticed, but Jerome did. "I chose to use my energy to heal you. Don't feel guilty about it, it was my choice," Jerome said to Paige. Paige looked surprised and said nothing. Piper and Phoebe likewise said nothing.

Author's Note:

Shorter chapter, but I'm a bit dry on ideas. Any and all ideas for the next chapter would and will be greatly appreciated.
