One night when eleven year old, Phoebe and nine year old, Paige can't sleep, she and Paige sing the song their Grams used to sing to them after Patty died. Before Patty died, she sang the song to Prue, Piper, and Phoebe.
"Deep in the meadow, under the willow, a bed of grass, a soft green pillow. Lay down your head and close your eyes, and when they open the sun will rise. Here it's safe, and here it's warm. Here is where the daisies guard you from every harm. Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true. Here is the place where I love you." Phoebe and Paige sang in unison
Phoebe starts crying, "I miss you, mommy. I wish I remembered you. I love you."
Paige is tearing up, "I wish I had gotten the chance to know you, mommy. I love you.
The next day, Prue wakes Phoebe and Paige up for school. Sixteen year old Prue has more responsibilities than any sixteen year old should have, but it's the price you pay when your mother and grandmother are dead, your father abandoned you, and you want to keep your family together.
"Phoebe, Paige, time to wake up." Prue says as Phoebe wakes up, but Paige stays asleep.
"Sissy, I don't want to go to school today." Phoebe replied sleepily
Prue sighed, "Pheebs, you have to."
"But I don't feel good, sissy." Phoebe protested
"Why don't you get up and eat breakfast? If you still don't feel good after that then you can stay home." Prue reasoned
Phoebe nodded, sat up and stretched.
Then Prue went over to Paige's bed, "Paigy, time to wake up."
Paige wakes up, "Okay sissy." She gets out of bed and starts getting ready for school.
Phoebe gets out of bed and immediately after she stands up she faints and her whole world goes black.
Prue concerned and frantic, tries to wake Phoebe, "Phoebe...Phoebe ...Phoebe!" Then she yells,"Piper! Call 911! Hurry! Phoebe fainted and won't wake up."
After the ambulance comes and takes Phoebe to the hospital. The doctors and nurses run a series of tests on Phoebe to see what caused her to faint. They discover that Phoebe has stage one of acute myeloid leukemia. Phoebe's doctor, Dr. Claire Benton comes out to tell Phoebe's parent(s) or guardian(s) about how Phoebe is.
"Parents of Phoebe Halliwell" Dr. Benton announced
Prue stood up, "Our mom died, and our dad abandoned us when Phoebe was three. I'm Prue, Phoebe's sister."
"Are you at least eighteen years of age?" Dr. Benton asked, "If not then I need to speak to a guardian."
"I just turned eighteen." Prue lied since she was actually only sixteen. She didn't want social services to be called, because then there was a chance that she and her sisters could be separated in the foster system.
Dr. Benton nodded, "Phoebe has a fever, but we also discovered that she has stage one of acute myeloid leukemia."
Prue looked worried, "Will she be okay?"
"I feel confident that since we caught it so early on she should be fine." Dr. Benton replied
Prue nodded, "Can I see my sister?"
Dr. Benton nodded, "Of course. She's still unconscious though."
Then Prue walked to Phoebe's hospital room, and sat in a chair by Phoebe's hospital bed. Phoebe is hooked up to lots of wires and other machines that are helping her, but it still pains Prue to see her little sister like that.
"Oh I'm so sorry, Phoebe. I know I couldn't prevent this, but I wish I could take away your disease. Your pain. If I could I would take it all away. I love you sweet girl." Prue says to Phoebe. Then she kisses Phoebe's forehead, "See you later, baby sister."
Prue leaves and goes to Andy's house, because she needs someone to talk to and he's like the brother she never had. Prue arrived at Andy's house and she knocked on the door. When he opened the door, Prue collapsed into his arms and cried. She couldn't even talk, because her baby sister was in the hospital. Her baby sister had leukemia and there was nothing she could do, but be strong. However Phoebe wasn't here now, so Prue didn't have to be strong.
Any hugged Prue as he held her in his arms asking over and over again 'what's wrong?', but she never answered. Andy guessed that it didn't really matter, because what he knew was that his best friend needed him. And when he least expected it, Prue pulled away from him.
Prue wiped her face and uttered, "Phoebe's sick, Andy. She has leukemia."
"It's okay. She's going to get through this, because she has you." Andy told Prue
"And you." Prue added, "You're like a brother to us."
Andy nodded, "And me too."
