A wet cloth slid across Paige's forehead in an attempt to cool her down. Her eyes fluttered open to a slightly familiar face. As she struggled to remember how she knew this woman, she became aware of how sore she felt and of the uncomfortable feeling coming from her back. The past events came flooding back into her mind; Link, the delusions, the wings… she realized what was it. The wings that had caused her to collapse in the first place were still there, sticking out her back as she lied there.

"How do you feel?" The women asked. Her voice was familiar too.

"Where am I?" Paige asked. As the woman's features came into focus, she recognized whom she was and where she was. It was Natalie, the women servant from before when she was originally capture by Link. She was back there again, in her "royal room". She looked to towards the foot of the bed, noticing her stomach had gotten bigger, much bigger. Paige tried to get up but her arms gave way under the weight.

"Whoa, I suggest you don't try to really move much." Natalie said as she caught her.

"But I…" Paige began but then, felt an acute pain. Natalie noticed this, and began to massage the base of Paige's wings.

"A little trick you pick up when you do this so much."

"Thanks…" Paige whispered as the pain began to decrease.

"Ladies!" Link's voice rung out boomingly as he entered the room. Paige turned her head to see him, and anger began to arise in her. "How is she?" Link asked Natalie, as if Paige wasn't there.

"Quite premature; I told you leaving her out there this long would not be good." Natalie answered him. He looked at Paige, receiving a glare back from her.

"Oh, don't be so mad. You've been chosen to have my child. If I were a human male, you'd be pregnant for almost an entire year."

"Oh, but instead I get to have your demonic child for only a week?!?" Paige questioned, sarcasm evident in her voice.

"Why must you put it so negatively?"

"Because it is a negative thing."

"Hmm…"

"Link, may I speak to you in private please?" Natalie requested.

"Sure…" Link made a kiss sound towards Paige and walked over to where Natalie was then standing.

"She's going to go into labor soon, and I'm not sure if you realize just how out of control these women can become."

"Yes, and…"

"With the child coming and her added powers, angering her right now might not be very wise."

"I'm not trying to anger her…"

"Yes, but she's not very fond of you at the moment. Maybe in time, but not now."

"Fine, I shall leave but I demand to be alerted the moment my son in born."

"Yes, sire." Link took one more look of Paige and left the room.

            Piper heavily sighed as the crystal kept rotating around the map of San Francisco. Phoebe had been reading up in the BOS to see what they could do to save Paige. Frustration was quickly arising among the two.

"Ah ha!" Phoebe yelled in success. "I found him, or at least the Pavlins. The pages had been stuck together. They are 'The Pavlin race's powers consist mainly on something mind oriented, much likely to have telepathic and telekinetic powers. Often peaceful, although known for kidnapping women to bare their children. Unlike humans, their pregnancies only last about a week. Many of the rumors on mortals being kidnapped by aliens and impregnated have originated through them.'"

"Great, so she is pregnant." Piper said, sounding more irritated. "How could we have not have seen this?"

"We can't go blaming ourselves, Piper. It's no one's fault; it's just another day in the Charmed lives."

"But she told us that he was right there.. R; right there in front of us and we just basically told her that she was crazy, but where is she now? Wait, we don't know!"

"Just because we don't know where she is, or if she's okay, or if she's scared…" Phoebe trailed off into silence as she began to think of all the possible things that might be going on. "You know what, that doesn't matter. She's ok and you have to believe that too."

"I know, and I do. Now that we know what were up against, we can go get our little sister."

Ether entered the room on alert that Paige had returned to the palace. She snorted when she saw Paige. She was never fond of her and knew of no viable reason why the Prince had chosen her in the first.

"Why he would choose a woman so pale and whiny I don't know. His entire family always makes the worst decision upon their mates." Ether complained. Paige was about to retort something back when Natalie put her hand on her shoulder, telling her to calm down.

"Why must you always be so negative about these women? Without them, none of them would exist."

"It's the only thing they're good for. I don't understand why they just couldn't mate within their own race instead of dirtying their blood."

"As if I were asked to do this!" Paige exploded.

"Oh shut up, women like you should be thankful to be apart of such a race."

"What?!?" Paige was becoming furious with this woman's viewpoint of her.

"Why he would ever choose such a persistent woman is beyond me. I say, if they don't want to do anything, leave them to their meaningless lives."

            Paige was tired of having this women talk about her as if she was worthless and didn't even deserve to exist. She yelled in frustration and Ether went flying into the wall. Paige felt a pain in her lower abdomen.

"What's happening? Did I do that?" Paige asked, confused on what just occurred.

"You're going into labor."

"Labor?" Paige asked, beginning to panic.

"This is not good." Natalie commented, more a thought to herself than to Paige.

"I'm going into demonic labor, and you think it's just 'not good'. Oh, this is far beyond 'not good'"

"Shh… don't get upset and just breathe." She glanced over to see Ether still on the ground, knocked out cold. "Give me a minute." Natalie said, heading towards the door. She poked her head outside to see a stewardess walking by in the plain dress that they all wore. She was carrying a tray of food and about to round the corner.

"Excuse me, you need to inform the maidens assigned to Prince Link's child that the woman is going into labor."

"Yes ma'am. I must bring this food to him now, anyway. Shall I inform him of this too?"

"Yes, but caution him against coming down."

"Yes ma'am." The girl walked off, as Natalie returned back to Paige's side. Paige's face was sullen; the reality of it all was sinking in. She was pregnant, and with a demonic child no less. Her sister's were nowhere to be found and she herself did not know where she was. She could not get her powers to help her to escape. She figured it had something to do with the baby she was carrying; it was somehow blocking her powers and replacing them with their own. She was becoming so lost in her own world of thoughts. After a while, she hadn't realize she was hyperventilating and the many nurses that were crowding around her, attempting to calm her down.
