A/N: Sorry about the cliffhanger!!! It was just too tempting not to. Oh, and I don't know much about pregnancy tests seeing as I've never taken one so I apologize if anything if particularly off.
"Ummm, I think a yes is 3 pink lines and a no is 4 blue lines." Paige told her eldest sister.
"Congratulations Paige." She answered, not being able to finish her whole sentence.
"What? I'm really pregnant? No way! How could this happen? What am I gonna do?" Paige jumped up and started pacing around the room, rambling on and on.
"Paige! Calm down, and let me finish. I was going to say, congratulations, you and Greg won't have to worry about kids until you're ready to."
"I'm not pregnant?!" Piper nodded and Paige flopped down on her bed, "Oh thank God!"
"Maybe this time but sweetie, why would you wait this long to find out for sure?"
"Well, I'm not ready to have kids, I'm not even married yet and I was just hoping that I wouldn't have to take a test. But then when I started getting hungry all the time, and getting sick I knew I had to."
"Well, I still think we should make a doctor's appointment, you do have all the symptoms and these things aren't always completely accurate."
"Fine, but just don't tell Phoebe yet, I want to know for sure before I tell her or Greg."
"I won't, I promise. Now here's my doctor's number, give him a call and set up an appointment, A.S.A.P. I hafta go upstairs and check on Leo and the kids, I'll be back down in a little while."
"Thanks Piper, you're the best big sister I could ever want."
"Anything for my sister." Piper replied, writing down a phone number on a sheet on paper she found nearby. When she was done, she handed the paper to Paige along with the phone and walked upstairs to find Leo. She found him in the Wyatt's room, kneeling on the floor with blocks all over the place. There was a large tower in blocks between him and Wyatt, who was standing up, staring at his daddy and the tower. The last block was at Wyatt's eye level and Leo was concentrating on adding another one. He was going very slowly seeing as the tower was almost falling over.
"Boo!" Piper yelled, breaking Leo's concentration and causing him to drop the block on the rest of the tower which was now in a heap on the floor.
"Hey! I was trying to make it as tall as Wyatt, I almost had it too."
"Yeah well I wanted to see my family." Piper replied, walking over and kneeling beside her son. "Where are the girls?"
"Oh, Phoebe has them in her room."
"But she has a date soon, how can she be watching them?" Asked Piper, starting to clean up the blocks. Wyatt had lost his interest in them, he was now being entertained by a small electronic keyboard.
"I don't know, she just told me she would. Wait, she has a date? With Jason?"
"Yeah, he's gonna come to the wedding too."
"Oh, she told you?"
"No, I just knew. When I saw her there lying down like that, I knew she told him. I haven't seen her that upset since Cole, it was weird."
"Well, at least there's hope with Jason, he's mortal."
"Yeah I know. It's just weird, today I really realized what Prue felt like when we were growing up. Having to watch out for both of them, I've never had to do that."
"Both of them? What's with Paige?" Piper stopped picking up the blocks,
'Paige asked me not to tell Phoebe, she didn't say anything about Leo. Should I tell him, he is my husband after all, she had to expect I would tell him. But it's her decision, she should be the one to tell the family. I won't tell him.' She thought to herself.
"Oh nothing, she's just nervous about the wedding." She lied.
"Well I don't blame her. So did you guys get anything today?" Leo asked, recalling the note Piper left him.
"Yeah, we got Phoebe a dress for tonight, Paige got some clothes for her honeymoon, and I got some clothes for the kids and a new dress."
"Sounds like you guys had fun. You know, Paige and Greg are going to Italy for a week, we never got our honeymoon. Maybe when they're gone, we could go to Paris, like we planned."
"It might be a little less romantic with three kids. And besides, what about Phoebe? It wouldn't be fair to leave her home all alone."
"We could ask Darryl to watch the kids. I could orb us in anytime to see them. And I'm sure Phoebe wouldn't object to having the manor to herself for a whole week, or she could go somewhere with Jason."
"Yeah, but leaving Darryl with three kids for a whole week. That's a lot."
"It wouldn't be for the whole week. The girls sleep through the night now, we could bring them with us and orb them there just for a few nights and maybe a day."
"It sounds like a good idea but I don't know. Is it really a good idea to split up the power of three?"
"If Phoebe gets attacked, she has an active power that she's learned to control, she could call for Paige and I. It's not that horrible of an idea."
"True, but still, I don't know-" Piper was cut off by a soft knock at the door. She turned around to see Paige standing there with keys in her hand and her's and Piper's purses in her hands.
"I just got off the phone, the um, photographer is going to be there late tonight and said I could come in right now. Will you come?" Getting Paige's hint, Piper stood up and kissed Leo on the forehead.
"I'm gonna go with Paige, I'll call you in a little while and when I get home I'll make dinner. We can talk about your idea more then. Bye." She told her husband before taking her purse and keys from Paige and walking out the door.
"Um, Piper, it's not like I mind or anything, and I won't be mad if you did but did you tell Leo?" Paige asked once her and Piper were in the car.
"No, it's your decision when you want to tell everyone."
"Oh good because I would have been really mad at you if you told him."
"You just said you wouldn't mind."
"I lied. So how far is the office?"
"Not very, we'll be there soon. Good thing he was open late tonight."
"Yeah, he said he usually stays open on Thursday but he only had a few appointments and someone just cancelled. So what idea did Leo have?"
"Oh, nothing, just something we didn't have time to really discuss it, like, ever. We're here." Piper explained, grateful for a change of subject. She got out of the car and walked to the front of her jeep where she met her little sister. Paige reached her hand out and Piper took it in hers. "Are you sure you're ready?"
"No but I have to find out. Let's go." Paige started for the door, dragging her sister by the hand. "Hi, I'm Paige Matthews, Dr. Harris said to come right down." She told the receptionist once they were inside.
"Oh yes, right this way." The receptionist replied standing up and leading Paige and Piper down a hallway to the third door on the left. "Dr. Harris will be in shortly. In the meantime, here's a gown for you to change into. Your sister can stay in here if you want."
"Thank you." Piper replied, seeing as Paige was looking to distraught to speak. The nurse slipped out the door, leaving Piper and Paige alone. "I'll wait outside. Just come find me when you're all done in here."
"No, just wait outside while I change, will you stay in here with me? Please, I really need someone strong right now."
"Of course, just let me know when you're done." Piper told her sister before opening the door and stepping out. A few minutes later, the door opened and Paige waved her in. Piper walked in and shut the door behind her. There was a chair on the opposite side of the room and she sat down while Paige took a seat on the examining table. Just as Piper was sitting down, there was a knock at the door and Paige was telling the knocker to come in. Dr. Harris entered the room and began questioning Paige on why she thought she was pregnant and things like that.
30 MINUTES LATER.......
Paige and Piper were sitting down across from a desk and Dr. Harris was entering the room. "Well Miss Matthews, I have the results right here. I haven't looked at them yet so I don't know." Paige nodded her head, finding herself at a loss for words. The doctor proceeded to open the folder he was holding while Paige and Piper held their breath. "False alarm, you're not pregnant." Both sisters exhaled at the same time, showing their relief. "This might seem like good news but there is still a problem. You showed almost all the signs of pregnancy now those symptoms you had are also a result of high stress levels. The unusual appetite, the unusual size appetite. Is there anything you know of that could be causing the unusual stress level?"
"I'm getting married in a few days. Things have been hectic the past couple of months because we were only engaged for about three months."
"That could do it. Now I suggest you try to relax for the next two days, let the Groom handle most of the responsibilities and I'm sure your sisters would be more than willing to help you out."
"Thank you doctor, thank you so much. Hopefully I won't see you for a year or two, no offense."
The doctor chuckled slightly in response, "none taken. I wish you good luck with your marriage and Piper, I hope the kids are okay."
"They're wonderful, thank you for asking doctor."
"Maybe I'll be seeing you sometime soon?"
"Well, if you do I'll be looking a lot paler than Paige was a few moments ago. Three kids are hard enough, I have no clue how my mother did it. Now, if you'll excuse us, we have to get going now." Piper and Paige stood up, shook the doctor's hand and left.
Once they were in the car, Paige was acting like herself once again, acting as if nothing had happened. "So I was thinking that Friday night, you, Phoebe, and I could do a sister bonding night kinda thing, you know one more girls' night out or in before I'm a married old lady."
"That sounds like a great idea but Paige, you really need to listen to what the doctor said. You need to talk to Greg about what happened and let him handle the wedding stuff for two days."
"Fine fine, I'll talk to him but don't you tell me to relax. Phoebe, Leo, and I spent months trying to get you to stay in bed."
"I'm stubborn, it's a Halliwell thing. But I'm not telling you to sit in bed all day long, just to take it easy."
"Okay but talk to Phoebe about tomorrow night, I hafta call Greg when I get home."
"Ummm, I think a yes is 3 pink lines and a no is 4 blue lines." Paige told her eldest sister.
"Congratulations Paige." She answered, not being able to finish her whole sentence.
"What? I'm really pregnant? No way! How could this happen? What am I gonna do?" Paige jumped up and started pacing around the room, rambling on and on.
