Chapter 4: Reunion

Piper ran around the house, putting hors d'oeuvres everywhere. She smoothed her hair and fixed the fresh flowers she had put in a vase before running up the stairs. "She's going a little overboard isn't she?" Paige remarked, fixing the dress that Piper had made her wear. Leo shrugged. "She feels guilty and nervous. Phoebe might be an entirely different person than the one we used to know." Paige sighed. "I hope not."

===================================

"Do you think that this is okay?" Phoebe pulled a sky blue sweater over her head and examined herself in the mirror to see if they matched her white pants. "You look fine," Cole replied, coming out of the bathroom. "They won't care what you look like anyway." Phoebe shrugged, annoyed at how loose the sweater was. Cole had shimmered into the manor one day and had gotten it for her. It was her favorite, but now it seemed two sizes two big. She'd lost a lot of weight when she was kidnapped by the demon. "Are you sure that you don't want to move back in with your sisters?" Cole asked for the umpteenth time. "Yeah," Phoebe replied. "I'm not ready. I just missed so much. I have to get to know them again. It's so weird." Cole came behind her and hugged her. They stayed like that for a while.

====================================

"How's Wyatt look?" Piper handed her son to Leo. "Fine! He looks fine!" Paige shouted suddenly. "Calm down!" Piper, irked, responded coldly, "I just want everything to be perfect." Paige, sorry for her previous outburst, gave her older sister a hug. "Everything will be perfect once Phoebe is here." They smiled and hoped.

====================================

"You ready to go?" Cole glanced at his watch. Phoebe checked herself in the mirror once more. "I think so." She sighed, rubbing her wedding band between her fingers and she was wont to do when she was nervous. "Yeah," she finally replied. Cole enveloped her in a hug and they shimmered out.

====================================

It had been six months. Phoebe still hadn't given them all the details of what happened to her and her powers still hadn't been found. Surprisingly, not too many demons took advantage of the fact that it was only the power of two for now. They had faced a few low-level demons, but that was about it. Paige was suspicious, but grateful for this and Piper didn't want to jinx it. "Do you think she'll move back in?" Paige asked, over a cup of coffee. "Maybe," Piper said, shaking out the paper and looking over the "Ask Jennifer" column. "I really don't like Jennifer as much as Phoebe." Paige hummed. "Neither do I. I may be a little biased, but I think that Phoebe gave better advice." Piper nodded, taking a sip of coffee. "Well we did encourage her to quit her job." "She needs time and I'm sure Elise will give it back to her if she needs it. Phoebe was much more popular than her replacement." Paige smoothed some more jam on a biscuit before taking a bite. "We're meeting for lunch at noon," Piper reminded her sister. "Here?" Paige asked. "No, Paige. Café Charles," Piper answered, slightly annoyed. She'd told Paige so many times. "Got ya!" Paige threw her extra coffee in the sink and ran up the stairs. "I'll meet you at noon!" Piper laughed at her sister, unaware of the glowing yellow eyes behind her.
