She goes back into the room to find Piper stoking her sleeping sister's hair. They talk and the second murder but stop abruptly when Phoebe begins to stir. She wakes and vomits. Prue, panicked, goes to fetch the doctor for Phoebe and he comes back to check Phoebe. He tells the sisters that it just morning sickness, possibly helped by some of the drugs. Phoebe is still panicked so the doctor asks if she would like a sedative to relax her, as it is important for her baby. - She complies and falls asleep in minutes.

Normal?

Piper looked up as Phoebe's hospital room door slowly creaked open. Upon seeing it was Prue she delivered her sister a hushed warning to be quiet, as Phoebe had fallen asleep. Prue nodded and made her way over to the opposite side of the bed.

"How long she been asleep?" Prue asked her sister in a loud whisper.

"Ever since you didn't come back! She worried herself to sleep!" Piper was pissed, very pissed. And this most definitely did not get past Prue who still hadn't made up her mind to cower or retaliate. She chose the latter.

"Oh right. Well I'm sure she'd have done more than worry herself to sleep if I'd have told her WHY I was gone so long!" She said bitterly.

"Well, she's asleep now. You can tell me."

"Piper, I'm not sure."

"Save it." She interjected. "I know Anna called and I know something is up." Her voice softened. "Please, Prue. I need to know."

Prue sighed. "There has been another murder." She said as she leaned on the bed.

Piper didn't even flinch. "How can they be so sure it was Sean who."

"He left our baby sister another message."

"Oh god" Piper gasped.

"Something along the lines of this is all your fault." Prue told her sister as she waved her arms slightly.

"You know what she's like with guilt."

"Yeah, I know."

Both sisters just sat there before Piper broke the silence.

"Prue she can't find out."

"Well you see this is what I tried to tell Anna."

"But?" Piper asked.

"But she has to send Marcus round to question Phoebe. So we have to tell her. And soon."

The sound of Phoebe's moaning interrupted their conversation.

"P.prue?" She called quietly.

"Yeah baby, I'm here." Prue said as she stood and made her way closer to her sister so she could run her fingers gently through her hair.

"I'm gonna be. I feel."

"Piper grab the bowl." Prue was quick on her feet. She knew immediately what Phoebe wanted to say. Taking the bowl off Piper she raised Phoebe into a position where her vomit would not get caught on her hospital garments. Piper stood looking on for a minute before quickly exiting the room in search of Phoebe's doctor.

Phoebe was sick violently for several minutes, until her retching became dry and painful. It hurt so much. Things were going a little quick here. She only woke up a second ago and now she was peuking her guts out. Silent tears began to slide down her cheeks as Prue gently rubbed her back in circular motions trying to sooth her.

"Shh baby. You're okay. It's okay." Prue tried to reassure her sister.

She may have looked clam on the outside, but inside Prue was totally freaking out. Was Phoebe supposed to be vomiting this bad? Hell was she supposed to be vomiting at all? What was going on?

Phoebe's doctor came into the room followed by a nurse, worried by Piper's panicked alert.

Prue looked up when she saw him, relieved somewhat by his presence. He looked at her questioningly.

"She woke up and just started vomiting." Prue informed with a slight shrug.

Phoebe was still leaning over the bowl, shaking. She was terrified. She doubted she'd be this scared if it wasn't for how her sisters' reacted.

The doctor gave the confused sisters a relieved smile as he made his way over to Phoebe.

"Do you still feel nauseous Miss Halliwell?" He asked gently.

"Only a little." Phoebe replied weakly.

"Right then. We shall get rid of this." He pointed at the bowl in front of Phoebe before picking it up and handing it to the nurse. "And I suggest you calm yourself." He turned to face all three of the sisters. "Don't worry yourselves, it's just morning sickness."

"What?"

"But I thought morning sickness only happened in the first trimester." Piper said questioningly.

"It can vary. Some women have no sickness at all and others can have sickness right through to birth."

Phoebe groaned unhappily at this revelation. Her doctor chuckled. "I doubt the drugs we are giving you are helping that as well."

"Then why are you giving her them?" Prue snapped, uncharacteristically. The doctor just looked at her. Prue sighed. "I'm sorry."

Phoebe's doctor smiled. "Not a problem. People can become very stressed at times like these. Especially." He turned to the youngest, his patient. "Expectant mothers. I suggest you calm yourself, Phoebe. Getting upset wont help your baby, it needs to rest, and YOU need to rest." Phoebe gave him a grateful smile, barely shining through her worried face. "If you like I can give you a sedative, to help relax you. It'll just make you calmer." Phoebe looked at both of her sisters for confirmation before turning back to her doctor. She nodded. "Okay. I'll just go get it for you."

Prue climbed onto the bed next her sister as the doctor left the room. She put her arm around Phoebe's shoulders and pulled her close, comforting her. She kissed her baby sister's head. "I'm sorry if I scared you babe."

Phoebe accepted her sister's apology by pushing herself deeper into her protector's arms.

A few minutes later Phoebe's doctor returned with the sedative. He administered it into her IV line and left the sister's alone. Phoebe fell asleep in her big sister's arms almost immediately.
