Chapter 38: One Moment, Changes Everything
There was a rythmatic click each time Phoebe's fingers hit the buttons on her laptop. She just wanted to sit down and not think about anything but her column right now. She felt tired and totally drained. She hadn't gotten much sleep the last few weeks, but it wasn't all just because Pearl likes to cry in the middle of the morning and keep it up for hours. Phoebe stopped typing and rubbed her fingers and wrists. She realized her hands seemed really cold. 'Maybe I should take a break.' She thought, as she stood up from the table. She walked into the kitchen and poured herself another cup of hot coffee, that she had made earlier. It was abou 8:30 A.M. right now. Phoebe slowly sipped the hot liquid and tried to wake herself up a little more. Her hands absorbed the heat from the cup and it felt really good. Phoebe walked back to her laptop and sat down, placing the cup beside her. To her surprise, a small message box popped up saying, ALERT: You Have Mail! Phoebe shrugged and clicked the, Okay, button and then clicked on her mail box. After a few moments one new message popped up. "'Hello, Again.'" Phoebe read, from the title of the e-mail. She looked at the sender and it read, MadeForYou@hotmail.com. Phoebe opened the e-mail and little red roses bordered the outside of the words. "'Phoebe Halliwell...Ahh, that name, it's been far too long. You know it, and I know, Phoebe! Don't you remember that night? Our special night? Mmmm...I bet you do. New York, Half Moon Bar, backroom....Well, I've found you again, Phoebe Halliwell. And I'm coming for you. Love, J.K.'" Phoebe whispered. She gasped. Her face was flushed with heat, her palms wet, and her mouth dry. She started to shake. "N...no..no, no, no! This can't be happening...." Phoebe cried out.
Piper's eyes slowly opened and she looked over at Leo, he was still sleeping soundly. 'Am I already up, this early?' Piper mentally asked herself. She looked at the clock and shrugged. She rubbed her head and repositioned herself. She shivered, t was pretty cold this morning. She gently reached over and pressed the button on her alarm clock, turning off the alarm. She was already awake and didn't want to have Leo wake up, if he didn't have to. After the past few weeks of being awakened by Pearl's crying, Piper had just started waking up on her own.
Prue stared at the ceiling of her room. She'd been up for about 3 hours now. Just listening to the silence, until she heard someone wake up, and go downstairs. When she heard typing she knew it had to be Phoebe and her laptop. But just a little while ago the typing had stopped. 'Is she done already?' Prue mentally asked herself. Prue shook her maybe. 'Maybe she is just taking a break?' Prue thought. Prue shrugged. She had always been an early riser, but with Pearl around, now she awoke on her own even earlier. She snuggled deeper into the covers.
Paige was sitting at the edge of her bed, with a thick blanket wrapped around her, watching her daughter sleep. 'She looks so peaceful when she is asleep.' Paige thought. She examined Pearl's small features; her hands, feet, face, everything. She was so sweet, when she wanted to be. Paige sighed. She couldn't believe that her and Glenn had done something so right, for once.
Pearl began to stirr and her tiny body began to move around.
Paige reached down and picked Pearl up, from the bassinet. She rocked Pearl softly. "It's okay, baby. Mama's here, so you can go back to sleep." Paige whispered.
Pearl slowly stopped moving and drifted back into a restful sleep, again.
"Good girl.." Paige whispered, as she continued to slowly rock her daughter.
Phoebe quickly closed the e-mail and closed her laptop. She couldn't stop herself from shaking so much. "How could he find me?" Phoebe asked herself, in a hushed tone, so nobody else would hear her. 'This just cannot be true!' Phoebe mentally screamed at herself. Tears flooded her eyes and began to stream down her flushed face. 'Everything was going fine! My sisters and I are all together, I have Cole, a new niece! No, he cannot do this!' Phoebe mentally screamed, to herself.
A man with deep brownish-black hair, hazel eyes with little specks of gold in them, and a rich tan sat at a huge oak desk. He smiled as he stared at the front page of the, New York Times. "Phoebe..Phoebe...Phoebe..." He whispered. He pulled a large, black leather briefcase onto his desk, put in the combination, and opened it up. He placed the front page of the newspaper into the briefcase and shut it again. "I'll be leaving early today, Jessica, and I won't be back for a few weeks. But I will be checking on things from e-mail and the telephone." He yelled. He stood up and began to walk out of the room.
"Okay, Mr. Kline! Have a good break!" A woman's voice yelled back.
"Oh, I will, don't worry, Jessica. You have a good time too." He called back. Then he left the room. TO BE CONTINUED....
