Piper ran into the house eagerly, leaving the door open for Leo to carry in the big boxes of baby furniture they'd purchased.

"Paige!" she called. "Come see what we bought."

Paige came down the steps, holding Angelie. Piper immediately dropped her bags and ran over to kiss her tiny neice hello.

"Hey, Angelie, come see what we got for you." she cooed.

Paige handed the baby over to Piper, and went outside to help Phoebe with the rest of the bags.

"Wow, this is a lot of stuff." she exclaimed. "I thought you guys were just supposed to take care of the necessities today."

"We did." Phoebe said.

Paige looked at Leo. "Well, have you ever tried shopping with your sisters?" he asked her.

Paige nodded. "Nuff said."

Piper and Phoebe shot them both dirty looks.

"Come on, let's go put this stuff together." Leo suggested.

An hour later, they had a makeshift nursery set up in Grams' old bedroom. They'd bought all the essentials: a crib, a changing table, a chest of drawers, and a playpen that they set up in a corner of the living room. They'd also bought a small bassinet to put in the kitchen, and a high chair for when Angelie was old enough to sit up. Piper placed the baby in the crib, and the adults stepped back to survey the room.

"It needs to be painted." Piper observed.

"Let's leave that for next weekend, honey." Leo replied.

Phoebe and Paige nodded their agreement. Angelie gurgled contently.

"I think she likes it." Phoebe remarked.

"Oh, I almost forgot..." Piper left the room, and returned with two more shopping bags, containing a variety of stuffed animals and other playthings.

"Piper, those are almost bigger than she is!" Leo exclaimed.

"Yeah, well, she'll grow." Piper retorted.

"You do know she's barely 48 hours old, right?" Paige asked.

"Yes," Piper countered. "But I thought she should have something to, you know, hang onto when she's older."

"Piper's got a point." Phoebe said. "I've still got my first stuffed animal. I've had it since I was her age."

"Younger." Piper reminisced. "I remember Dad giving it to you the day you were born, and saying it was from me and Prue."

"Speaking of Prue," Paige started, thinking that this was as good a time as any to bring up that afternoon's visit. "She was sort of here."

Piper and Phoebe stared at her open-mouthed. Paige told them every detail about their sisters appearance.

"Oh my God... Is she coming back? Can we see her?" Phoebe asked.

Paige shook her head. "I have no idea, but I doubt it. Guys, she was really scared."

Piper frowned. Paige's worried expression was really getting to her. "Leo, why would she be scared?"

Leo shrugged. "I don't know. I mean, in the letter, what she said about them not wanting witches and Whitelighters to be together was true. It was bad enough what they did to us, I can't even imagine what they'd do if they found out about Prue and Andy, especially if they knew about Angelie. Of course, Julius already knows, but then, the other Elders don't like him. He's extremely liberal. He was the one fighting for us, when they weren't going to let us get married."

"If he already knows, then can't you go talk to him about it?" Paige asked.

Leo nodded. "I'll go now. He should be alone." With that, he orbed out, leaving Piper, Phoebe and Paige to take care of the baby, and try to stop themselves from worrying.

A/N: Argh. Yet another bad chapter. I swear, I'm trying, I really am. It would really help a lot if I got more reviews, *hint, hint*. And on that note, thanks a bunch to CFan2005, your reviews have really helped!
A/N2: This is mostly to CFan2005 - No, French isn't my first language. I've only been studying it for about 6 months now. I like to use it in my fics because it's a beautiful language, plus I find that using it outside school helps me remember it come test day. I'm glad you like my use of it :)
