Phoebe gasped, and put a hand to her mouth. She turned to Piper, as tears slid down her cheeks. Phoebe stood still, in shock, as Piper raced forward into the kitchen. "Paige!" she screamed. Paige lay limply on the floor, completely exhausted from her concentration on her powers. "Paige…" Piper gently shook Paige trying to wake her from her exhausted state. Piper looked up to the ceiling, and screamed, "LEO! Get down here NOW!" Phoebe slowly walked over to Paige, a little shaky. "Oh my gosh…" Paige's leg was bent in a deformed shape, and blood was splattered all over Paige's dirty, torn clothes. Piper let out a shrill command, "LEO! If you don't get your ASS down here in two – " Piper was cut off by Phoebe's strained voice. "Piper…?" Piper turned towards Phoebe, a little agitated, "What?" Phoebe took another shaky step towards her sisters, and then her eyelids slowly began to close. Piper quickly stood up, recognizing Phoebe's panicked state. She quickly caught Phoebe as she fell unconscious against her, and Piper gently lowered her to the floor.
"Piper??" Piper turned at the sound of her name, "Leo! Thank goodness! Paige needs your help." Piper motioned towards the unconscious Paige. Leo quickly knelt down next to her, and healed her obviously broken leg. Piper turned back to Phoebe, making sure she was alright on the floor, and then knelt down beside Paige. Paige groaned as Leo moved his hands over her body, and brought her to a somewhat conscious level. "Leo??" Paige whispered incredulously, "I'm – I'm – " Piper smiled and then spoke up, "Healed and home." She leaned over Paige's face, and took her hand. "You're fine, sweetie. You're fine; you're home." Paige nodded her head, and fell asleep as Leo lifted her into his arms. He smiled at Piper, "I will be right back." He kissed her lightly on the cheek and then orbed Paige to her bedroom. He placed Paige on the bed, and then looked at her torn clothes. "Uh…" he said aloud. He quickly orbed back downstairs, and cleared his throat. He looked a little uncomfortable, "Uh, Piper, can you possibly put Paige into… more comfortable clothes? Because I uh…" He shuffled his feet and blushed as Piper laughed, "Yeah. Watch Phoebe for me."
Leo raised his eyebrows as Piper left the room. He looked to his right, and realized that Phoebe was lying there, unconscious. Leo concernedly knelt next to Phoebe, and placed his hands over her body. No healing glow emitted from his hand, and Leo sighed, silently wondering what happened to Phoebe. After a few minutes, Piper came back downstairs, "She's resting comfortably. She's in her pajamas." Leo nodded his head, and then pointed to Phoebe curiously. Piper looked down at her sister and remembered why Phoebe had fainted. Piper frowned, "We heard a crash, and when we went in here, Paige was lying there… bloody… and… and…" Piper's body shook as tears streamed down her cheeks. Leo held Piper in his arms, reassuringly, "It's okay. She's alive, Piper. She's alive." Leo also had tears in his eyes, but he tried to calm himself, for Piper's sake. Piper sighed, and continued. "When Phoebe saw Paige, she was so shocked, she just… fainted."
Leo slowly nodded his head, not sure of what to say. He put his mouth close to Piper's ear, "I love you, and I want you to know that I am always here for you." Piper nodded her head, "Even though it takes you forever to get here when I call you." Leo grimaced, "I am so sorry. I was with another charge when you called, and she really needed my help. I can't exactly go into details; I'm sorry." Piper slowly nodded her head, and then stood on her tiptoes. Their lips touched, and then Piper mumbled, "I love you too."
"Ow…" Piper and Leo both looked to the floor, the special moment temporarily interrupted by a grumbling Phoebe. "Okay, I feel like shit. What the hell happened?" Piper and Leo exchanged glances, and Piper helped her sister up. "What do you remember, Phoebe?" Phoebe groaned, and put her hand to her head, "Uh… I remember reading the spell to you… to find…" Phoebe's eyes grew wide. "PAIGE!" she shrieked. Her eyes frantically searched the kitchen, as Piper grabbed Phoebe's arm and tried to calm her down. "Phoebe, she's upstairs… She's upstairs… She's upstairs, Phoebe. She's upstairs…" Piper trailed off, finally realizing that Phoebe understood her the first time. Phoebe ran from the kitchen, and up the stairs, followed by Piper and Leo. Phoebe threw the door open, and flung herself on top of Paige, crying the whole way, "You're alive… You're alive… You're alive…"
Leo and Piper followed Phoebe's dash up the stairs, and heard a yelp as they saw Phoebe fling herself on top of Paige. Piper laughed as Paige looked at Phoebe like she was insane. Piper again followed Phoebe's example and jumped on the bed, but not crushing Paige. After a few minutes, Paige sat up in bed, "Well, I'm happy to see you two too, but I am SO tired. When I tried orbing out of there – " She stopped as tears threatened to fall down her face…
