Stinging of tears
Piper lay in her bed staring up her Prue; she was standing there watching Piper. A gleeful smile spread across her face as signalled for someone to join her. Piper's sobs subsided and she was left breathless as she saw the young boy standing behind her,
"Wyatt?" she asked, panting as she store into the eyes of the youngest, he smiled up at her,
"Mamma?" he said walking towards her, he stood beside the bed. And held out a hand to her, then realising that she couldn't touch him he quickly withdrew it.
"Yes, baby its me," she sobbed, tears dropping onto the pillow. She looked over to Prue for a brief second, and then looked back at her son. "Why?" she asked looking back at Prue, "Why can I see him now and never before,"
"You didn't need to before now," she said walking closer to the young boy,
"What?" she asked, "what do you mean I didn't need to see him before now?" she climbed out of the bed and walked over to where Prue was standing, "I have needed to see him every single day since he went away, I missed him so much. And… I…. Couldn't…" she began to stutter, and then stopped completely, when she felt a small hand gripping hers, she turned quickly and saw Wyatt holding her hand. She turned back to Prue as she felt fresh tears brewing in her eyes,
'How?" she asked, feeling the warmth of her little boys hand in hers,
"It was needed," was all Prue would say before she was gone within a shimmer of white lights. Piper turned round and saw her son still there, holding her hand. She bent down and threw her arms around him, hugging him close to her body. Just savouring him, she didn't know how long before the elders snatched him from her, she felt more tears drip down her face as she felt him start to disappear, she sniffed and pulled away,
"Always remember that I love you Wyatt, I will always love you. So does you father and we miss you some much… goodbye," she said as he disappeared also. Piper climbed back into bed and lay with her arms wrapped around her legs, pulling her knees up to her chin. Tears began to flow down her cheeks once more, she wiped them away quickly with the duvet and left the room. She walked along the corridor to Paige's old bedroom which had been converted into a room for Wyatt, Leo and Piper had never gotten round to changing to back to a spare room. The door had never been opened until now, Piper placed her hand on the handle turned it and went in. She was overcome with a sense of grief, as she walked around the empty bedroom. She saw Wyatt's made bed, the cowboy duvet cover was covered in dust, and his toys were sprawled over the blue carpet. His cupboard door was lying open; she walked over and lifted out one of his little outfits. She held it in her hands and then placed it back, tears streamed down Piper's face she turned and went to leave the room. She was met by Leo; she stopped abruptly when she saw his shadowy figure standing at the door,
"Leo?" she said shocked, she went to walk past him but he blocked her way. He grabbed her shoulder and threw her out the room, she hit off the wall and landed on the ground
"What were you doing in there!" he yelled pulling her up, he pulled her in close to his face; his breath reeked of alcohol and his bloodshot eyes were full of rage. "I thought I told you never to go in there!" he pushed her back again, Piper looked behind her. She was nearing the stairs,
"Please Leo, I just wanted to…" she began but what cut off as the back of his hand smacked her across the face knocking her down again,
"I told you never to go in there! I warned you!" he yelled, and he kicked her in the ribs. She chocked and screamed for help, pleading with him to stop.
"PAIGE!!!" she yelled, "Help!" she continued to scream, as Leo continued to kick her in the stomach. A couple of seconds later there was a gathering of blue lights behind her as Paige and Phoebe orbed in. Leo didn't stop seeing his sister's in law, he continued to kick Piper. Phoebe quickly ran over and kicked Leo in the face, knocking him down. Then Paige grabbed Piper's arm and grabbed Phoebe orbing them all away. Leo looked up just in time to see them orbing out, before he drifted into unconsciousness.
Back at the Penthouse, Paige and Phoebe carried Piper over to the couch. They lay her on her back and raised her head on a pillow; she was bleeding from her head. And her ribs were in agony, and she still had tears streaming down her face. Paige stood up and led Phoebe over to the kitchen area,
"She's really bad," she paused and looked at Piper, "I think we have to get her to hospital," Phoebe sighed,
"You're right but how do explain the injuries?" asked Phoebe, staring at her eldest sister, "And how do we keep Leo away from her?"
"I really don't know about the last part, but we can just say she got in a fight," replied Paige shaking her head, she walked over to Piper and placed her hand on her stomach, "Coming?"
Within minutes they had orbed to the front door of the hospital, Phoebe and Paige propped Piper up between them and carried her in. They went through the automatic doors,
"Help! Doctor someone!" yelled Phoebe, she and Paige were soon joined by some nurses and a doctor or two, who lifted Piper onto a trolley and carried her away. Phoebe and Paige followed as far as they could but they were stopped by a couple of orderlies when they reached resus.
"You can't go any further miss," he said and led them round the corner, "You're friend…" he began,
"Sister,' Phoebe butted in.
'Ok, well you're sister may be a while, so why don't you two go and get a cup of coffee," he suggested and pointed to the small cafeteria area just outside accident and emergency,
"Yeah, sure," said Paige as she led Phoebe towards the cafeteria.
