A/N: Alright, this is kinda coming to an end soon, think I've run to the end of this one. I like it though. I'm babbling.

'This is where you've got to,' Maddy smiled as she walked into te attic a few minutes after Piper's departure. 'You scared us a bit with the orbing thing.'

'Sorry,' Paige answered shortly.

'We talked Phoebe round.'

'That's good.'

'Okay, Paige. What's wrong?' Maddy strode over and gripped her waist. 'Tell me.'

'I'm surprised they took it so well,' Paige lied.

'And?'

'And I'm glad they did.'

'And?'

'If Prue came back now would you chose her over me?'

'Number one point, that won't happen,' Maddy said. 'And number two point, I'm in love with you. I wasn't in love with her.'

'Oh.'

'Is that what was worrying you?' Maddy asked. 'You still have issues over her don't you?'

Paige shook her head. 'No, I have issues with you. I don't wanna lose you but I don't wanna be second best.'

'You were never second best, Paige,' she replied softly caressing her cheek. 'I've never thought that.'

'I'm being stupid, aren't I?'

'A bit but that's why I love you.'

Paige wrapped her arms around her girlfriend tightly, blocking out everything in the world apart from them. It had been something she'd found really useful in the early days when they were being really careful.

Maddy pulled back first. 'I think we should go back to mine.'

'Really, why?'

'Do you want to stay here with Leo and Chris like they are?'

'Good point.'

'Paige, wake up!'

Mmm, she was being shaken awake and that wasn't Maddy's voice. 'What?' she asked groggily.

'It's Piper, she's in labour.'

Her eyes snapped open and there was Maddy with Chris and Phoebe... and she was naked under the sheets! 'We'll be there in a minute.'

'Yeah,' Phoebe smiled. 'Sorry to disturb and all but it's kinda an emergency.'

'Who's with her now?'

'Leo,' Phoebe answered quickly. 'But they're still biting each others head off.'

'I'll get dressed and I'll be right there,' Paige told them. They made no attempt to move. 'Go on, shoo!'

Ten minutes later Paige orbed herself and Maddy into Piper's bedroom at the manor. The little group of Leo, Chris and Phoebe were already there while Piper was looking very agitated... and very sweaty.

'Hi,' Paige said. 'How you feeling?'

'Like crap,' Piper hissed. 'He,' she pointed at big Chris. 'Didn't wanna wait for his mommy to get to a hospital.'

'It's not my fault!' Chris protested.

'Like hell it isn't! Can someone do something?'

'Like what?' Leo asked.

'Orb me to a hospital!'

'And risk exposure?' Leo argued. 'That'd be stupid.'

Maddy hesitantly stepped forward. 'I'm no expert or anything but I used to help out a midwife.'

'Get her over here!' Piper insisted.

Maddy nervously stepped over. 'You need to relax.'

'I am relaxed!'

'Maybe you'd feel better if your baby wasn't watching, hmm?' she asked with a smile.

'You think I wanna watch this?' Chris squirmed. 'I'm here out of duty!'

'Go do your duty in the hallway,' Maddy insisted. 'Anyone else you don't want here, Piper?'

Piper bit her lip. 'Leo, can you go please?'

'What?!' he exploded. 'I'm the father!'

'I know that, Leo,' Maddy smiled. 'Go outside and talk to him.'

Paige watched in admiration as her girlfriend shooed the men out and then fluffed up Piper's pillows. It was brave of her considering Piper had wanted to kill her not so long ago but she seemed fine.

'What now?' Phoebe asked.

'Now?' Maddy said. 'We let Piper set the pace.'
