Author's Notes: Piper is in the last stages of pregnancy, and the sisters get a surprise when a demon accidentally tells them about an unexpected future.
An Unexpected Future
Sunlight streamed through the window onto Piper's pillow. Piper opened her eyes slowly, blinking back the tears from exposure to the sunlight. She softly groaned and looked over to see Leo sleeping soundly. She then stood up, put on her slippers and robe, and headed downstairs to the kitchen.
"Hmmm….Lets see what's for breakfast…," Piper sighed and looked through the fridge. She decided to settle on omelets.
A few minutes later Phoebe bounded down the stairs with a smile on her face. "Good morning, Piper!"
Piper responded with a wave of her hand, and a grunt. She was too tired to have a conversation, and too preoccupied making the omelets.
Phoebe walked over to the coffee maker, and pouted. She pointed to Piper, "You didn't make the coffee again! I thought that we agreed that whoever was the first one downstairs would make the coffee!"
Piper looked at Phoebe. "I'm too tired." She groaned. "Ok. Fine, I'm sorry. I will remember next time, OK?" Phoebe smiled innocently and teasingly said, "Well, ok…I'll forgive you this one time."
Paige orbed into the room in the usual white-blue lights. "Hey, guys." She wobbled a little on her feet, and walked to a nearby chair. She slowly sat down, and put her hands to her forehead. "Whoa! Dizzy!"
Piper and Phoebe looked at Paige concernedly and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Yeah…I just have been a little dizzy this morning…nothing new…" She mumbled the last part under her breath. Phoebe and Piper shoot each other looks. "Anyways, did I miss anything exciting last night?"
Piper, finally awake, replied sarcastically, "It wasn't last night that was exciting…It was about 8 months ago."
Paige looked a little confused, and Phoebe snickered.
Piper pointed to her stomach, and raised her eyebrows at Paige.
"Piper! Ewww…I'm getting images…," Paige said in a whiny tone. She jokingly shook her head a few times. Everyone laughed, and Paige stood up and walked to the fridge. "Let's see what's for breakfast. Piper, what are you making?"
"Omelets. Want some?" replied Piper.
Paige shut the refrigerator door and put her hand on her stomach with a queasy look on her face. "Actually, I'm not feeling well. It's probably just a 'bug' that's going around. I think I'd rather have cereal, thanks though."
Phoebe walked over to Paige and put her hand on Paige's shoulder. "Are you sure you're OK? Maybe we should ask Leo to just….check?"
"Maybe later Phoebe; I just want some rest. I didn't get much sleep last night."
"Alright. Well, go rest. I'll bring you up some soup or something."
"Thanks."
Paige headed upstairs.
Phoebe walked over to Piper and put her hand on Piper's stomach, "My niece tells me you need some rest, too. Actually –" Phoebe was dragged into a premonition. She gasped and fainted, falling hard to the floor.
