Chapter 20: I Know Exactly How You Feel
"And I need this, that, and oh! That looks so beautiful!" Paige said enthusiastically. She was so happy for be over the first 3 months of her pregnancy, no more all day morning sickness. But now she was hungry all the time and had very strange cravings. Paige reached into her shopping basket; half the basket was filled with just food from Wendy's. Paige put her hand into one of the bags. "Double bacon cheeseburger with extra tomato and extra bacon." Paige called. She didn't feel like digging through the bag to find the burger, she had ordered so many things, that it would take too long. She grinned as she felt the burger orb into her hand and yanked her hand back from the bag. This was her third burger, of the same type, in less than 40 minutes. Paige ripped off the package and took a large bite out of the burger. "God, these....things....are soooooo good!" Paige mumbled, through a mouthful of burger.
Piper watched in total awe. "Wow, I didn't realize a person could eat that much...." Piper said.
Phoebe laughed. "I think it's just the pregnant thing. I know Paige wouldn't even be able to finish one of those burgers in less that thirty minutes. But since she's been pregnant, she can eat three in less than forty minutes!" Phoebe explained.
"D'ya think we're all gonna suffer like that?" Piper asked.
"It's probably genetic, thus, we probably will." Phoebe answered.
"Damn..." Piper grumbled.
Prue watched as Paige munched down the last bite of the burger. "Hungry are we?" Prue asked.
"Not me." Paige said, as she patted her slightly bulging stomach. "It's her." Paige said. "Oh, now I'm thirsty, darn bacon!" Paige said, as she grabbed her Big Gulp. She had gotten a huge Big Gulp cup, full of lemonade, without ice. That was only about 15 minutes ago and it was almost half gone now. Paige took a long drink of the lemonade and placed the Big Gulp back in the cart. "So, where to next?" Paige asked.
"Well, we've already got the house grocieries. Now we have the add-ons to get." Piper said, as she scanned the list they'd made.
"Like?" Phoebe probed.
"First on the list is baby things, then baby shower things, then wedding shower things, and finally wedding things." Piper said.
"Oh, that is gonna cost a lot of dough." Phoebe said.
"Don't worry, I have a stash of money saved up from when I was supposidly dead. When I went away, nobody knew me. I worked part time for a photo place and made pretty good money...which I saved up, for something like this." Prue said.
"Like, how much?" Piper asked.
Prue shook her finger. "Just know that I will help." Prue answered.
Piper frowned. "I hate it when you do that." Piper grumbled.
"Hey Piper, let's go look in the baby ile! Pleeease!" Paige begged.
Piper looked at Prue and Phoebe.
Prue and Phoebe shrugged. "Let's go." They said in unison.
"Awesome!" Paige said. She grabbed the cart and moved it through the iles.
"Damn, pregnant women can be so fast!" Phoebe said.
"You mean pregnant witches." Piper corrected.
Prue, Piper, and Phoebe finally reached the ile where Paige was in total, awe, about everything.
Paige pointed to the top shelf. "Oh! Let's get the cute lil' newborn diapers! They're light pink colored!" Paige begged.
"How many in a package?" Piper asked.
Paige squinted her eyes. "I can't tell from here." Paige held out her hands. "Di..." Paige began, but was quickly cut off by Prue.
"Cameras..." Prue whispered. "Let me." Prue said. She squinted her eyes and suddenly the package of diapers fell from the top shelf. "Oh my..What luck." Prue said. She picked up the package and looked at it. "It says there are 30 diapers in a package." Prue announced.
"And the price?" Piper asked.
"On special. Two packages for ten bucks." Prue said.
"Regularly?" Piper asked.
"Ten each." Prue answered.
"Oh, nice deal." Piper said. She was the sister who usually did the shopping for the household and often spent time in the iles looking at baby stuff. "Let's get four packages." Piper said.
"But Pipes, that's twenty bucks." Phoebe said.
"Yeah, but babies go through so many diapers and we don't know how long the special will be." Piper said.
"Good point." Phoebe agreed.
"Prue?" Piper asked.
Prue rolled her eys and flicked her wrist. 3 more packages of diapers came falling down. "Wow, this place totally needs to fix their shelves." Prue said, in a sarcastic tone.
The four sisters had to laugh at that.
Prue grabbed the packages from the ground and stuffed them in the cart. "Where to now? Prue asked.
Paige suddenly looked extremely tired. Just moments ago she had been feeling like she could explore the world and now, nothing. "Home.." Paige mumbled. Her eyes could barely stay open now.
Phoebe looked at Paige and couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her. Then she began to feel a wave of tiredness hit her and her eyes slowly started to feel heavy. Phoebe placed her hand over her hand. 'Oh...geeze, why am I so tired all of the sudden?' Phoebe mentally asked herself.
"Phoebe? Are you okay?" Piper asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine...Just really tired all of the sudden..." Phoebe said.
"Me too. But I can understand my problem..." Paige said. Paige pinched her hand. "Ow!" Paige snapped.
"Ow!" Phoebe grumbled, as she held her hand.
"What? I didn't do anything to you." Paige said. Paige glared. 'Maybe she is just mocking me?' Paige thought.
Phoebe glared back. "My hand hurts and I'm tired. Ugh..leave me alone." Phoebe hissed.
"Hey now, girls!" Prue warned. "Let's just go home so you can go to your seperate rooms and sleep." Prue said, as she grabbed each sister by their arms and pulled them out the front door. "Piper, my purse is in the cart. Use my credit card." Prue said.
"Okay!" Piper called back, as she walked up to the check out counter.
Prue opened the car doors and shoved Phoebe in the back. "Now be good." Prue snapped, using the tone she'd used when Phoebe was bad, as a child.
Prue then slammed the door shut and pulled Paige up to the passenger side in the front. "Sit here and wait for Piper and I. Don't fight with Phoebe. Got it?" Prue asked.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah....." Paige mumbled, as she got into the car, and shut the door.
Prue walked around the car and opened the trunk.
Moments later Piper walked out with a load of bags.
"Let me help." Prue said. She took about four bags from Piper and placed them in the back.
"Thanks, Prue." Piper said, as she placed the remaining bags in the trunk. Then shut the trunk.
"You'll have to sit in the back with Pheebs. I don't want them fighting. Paige is too emotional right now and I don't know what's wrong with Phoebe." Prue said.
"Sure thing." Piper said. Piper walked around the car, opened the door, and climbed inside.
Prue walked to the driver's side and got in the car. "Ready?" Prue asked.
"Yep." Piper called, in a cheerful tone.
"Whatever..." Phoebe and Paige said in unison.
Prue and Piper looked at each other and exchanged glances.
Prue shrugged it off and drove back to the Manor.
Prue parked the car inthe driveway and hopped out. "Piper? Can you take in the bags, I'll take in our sisters." Prue said.
"Fine with me." Piper called back.
Prue went around the car and gathered her sisters. Slowly walking each of them into the house. She could tell they both looked beat, but still didn't know why Phoebe looked so down, and all of the sudden too.
Without warning a warlock blinked in and sent 2 fire balls out; 1 at Paige and 1 at Phoebe.
Piper walked into the door just in time to see the fire balls flying at her sisters. "Look out!" Piper yelled.
In a swirl of orbs, both Paige and Phoebe, orbed out! Barely missing the fire balls! TO BE CONTINUED....
A/N: Oh...what a cliffhanger!
