Paige glanced up at the doctor standing before them. "Are you Mrs. Halliwell's sisters?," he asked them. Each nodded and looked over at Glenn and Leo, who had arrived a few minutes before. "I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but your sister was pregnant before this episode. Unfortunately, she lost the child," the doctor told them solemnly, "When she was told " He was cut off my an enraged Phoebe. "Wait a minute, my sister just experienced a horrible thing, and YOU told her about her miscarriage?," Phoebe demanded. She had no time to think about what that meant for them all. She felt both Paige and Leo place their hands on her shoulder and guide her to a chair. Slowly, the doctor continued, "When she was told, she went into another panic attack, like before. She's unconscious now. You may see her,if you like. For reference, I didn't tell her. The nurse assumed she knew about the pregnancy and told her. I really am very sorry. Follow me and I'll show you where she is" Phoebe, Paige, and Leo jumped up and followed him but Glenn decided to stay. He had seen how distant Paige had been towards him and decided not to push.
When they reached the room, the sisters immediately went to her side. Leo stood back a little, startled to see his beloved so pale and drawn. "Piper, honey, we're here. Me and Phoebe and Leo, too. Maybe you can open your eyes and see us. We are all real worried," Paige said softly, smoothing Piper's hair from her face. Phoebe reached out and took Piper's hand. "Come on, Piper. Wake up. Please?," Phoebe pleaded. Leo came and place his hand on her shoulder. Quickly, she put her hand over his and squeezed, then let go. They watched Piper's still form and waited. Each silently praying that she would be ok, survive this tragedy.
I hate myself. I can't believe I killed my child too. After so many, a baby had to be put on the list. I wish I could just die. Prue...God how I miss her. I guess everyone I come near is in danger. I have to warn Paige and Phoebe. Paige...she's so strong and so loving. I can't allow myself to get her. She forgives without regret, she accepts things without complain and I love her so much. Love from me...how deadly. Leo. I bet he knows by now. He must hate me, knowing I kill people. I bet he's thinking 'boy, I married an evil bitch. I should have listened to the Elders'. He should have, I guess They were right. I have them all fooled, or at least I did. They know now, God how will I face my family now? I can see Paige, her beautiful, trusting eyes boring into me and turning slowly into a look of betrayal and hurt. Or Phoebe, who has known me forever, her expression one of beseechment, begging me to tell her it's not true. Leo, my dear, sweet husband is going to have to deal with this. That child was a part of him...HOW COULD I DO THIS????
Phoebe and Paige jumped when they heard Piper shout. "HOW COULD I DO THIS?" "Piper, calm down. Look at me," demanded Leo. Piper turned her face towards him and it was all he could do not to grab her and pull her to him. "I love you. We'll get through this together. Now, I want you to lie back down and relax. I don't want you to go into another attack. Breathe," Leo told her soothingly. Piper was shocked. He still loved her? How? When she hated herself so much. She had to tell him. She tried to say something but he shushed her with his finger to her lips. She closed her eyes, grateful for even the slightest touch. She felt a hand grab hers and she opened her eyes slightly to see who it was. It was Paige, fear and concern in her expression. "I love you....all of you," Piper said before drifting into a more peaceful sleep.
Paige let the tears slip down her face. She'd seen the look Piper had had when she woke up. Guilt....plain guilt. Paige knew the look well, had worn it for several years after her parents death. "She must be thinking of her child," she thought, unaware of the angry words Starlene had hurled at her sisters. She heard a loud bang and heard a startled gasp behind her. She whirled around and was absolutely shocked at the sight she found. A woman, the one Paige knew as Starlene Wethers, was standing there holding a gun, looking immensely pleased with herself. Filling with dread, she turned her gaze to the floor where Phoebe lay. The blood pouring from her abdomen was making a puddle at Paige's feet. Paige fell to her knees beside her and began to start healing before being jerked up. "We can't...not without broadcasting who we are in the hospital. Not to mention we aren't allowed to heal unless it is demon-caused. We have to let the doctors handle this," Leo whispered to her. Paige shook her head, tyring to make the whole scene disappear. She watched, dazed, as the security gaurds hauled Starlene out of the room. Her eyes followed the gun as it dropped from Starlene's hand and onto the tile floor. The room was silent. She couldn't hear the nurses and doctors around her. She didn't hear Piper asking what had happened. She didn't hear Leo explaining in a detached voice and she didn't hear Piper collapse into sobs. She saw nothing but the puddle of blood at her feet and she wondered where Phoebe went. This had to be a dream....
