Piper dove behind the wall and sunk to the floor, she saw the energy ball hit the wall and it left a burning hole in the wallpaper. Piper started to shake and have another panic attack
"Piper, help" called Phoebe, Piper tried to move but couldn't. Her whole body was shining with sweat, he breathing was short, strained and shallow with her hand on he neck and chest and if it wasn't for the wall behind her she would be a crumpled lump on the floor. She heard a yell from the warlock and a burning sound, which was probably the warlock as well. Then Phoebe ran to behind the wall to find Piper.
"What happened to you?" Then looking at her sister properly and seeing her state she rushed to Piper's side and placed an arm around her shoulders to comfort her
"Oh honey it's OK he's gone now, nothing too important luckily just lower level, did he hurt you?" Piper shook her head slightly and calmed down a little.
"Leo!" Phoebe called "Leo" he orbed in and seeing the scene in front of him, his shaking wife struggling to breathe and Phoebe with her arm around her he started to worry.
"Piper honey, what's wrong?" there was a pause and then he realised something
"Hang on, Phoebe why aren't you at work?" Phoebe answered both questions
"There was a warlock in the house and I screamed, Piper came down and he threw an energy ball at her and she went behind the wall and that is all I saw. I was home to see Piper and it is my lunch break, which reminds me I only have a few minutes left can you orb me back to work later otherwise I will be in trouble."
"Sure" he said and held out his hands to Piper to help her up and gripped her in a tight embrace. Piper was relaxed now and fine
"Be back soon Pheebs"
"OK" she said and went to sit on the couch as Leo and Piper orbed out.
When Piper and Leo orbed into their room Leo sat the now relaxed Piper on the bed and they started to talk.
"Leo I'm scared I have a 3 and ½ month old foetus inside me and I'm scared."
"Honey I know, it's natural for a mother to feel protective of her baby."
"Oh OK" said Piper sadly and with that Leo orbed off to take Phoebe back to work.
That night Piper dreamt of her mother and she told Piper why she was so scared now it was because she didn't want to leave her baby the way their mother had left them.
"I am so proud of you my darling, tell Phoebe and Paige I love them," She said
"Thank you mum, I miss you and I love you, tell Prue I love her too and I will talk to Phoebe and Paige for you" said Piper
"I promise I will talk to Prue for you, I love you" After that Piper awoke
"How anti-climactic" she muttered and she lay down and went back to sleep
