AN: Hey, I decided to be nice and not leave you guys in suspense for too long, so here is the next chapter!
winter blaze - Here is the next chapter. Oh, and Avril's new cd is about ten times better than her last one, and I really liked that one. It is fantabulous! In fact, I am listening to it right now! And, I'll keep that song in mind.
p3charmed4eva - Well, I am sorry I scared you, and I'm glad I escaped a yelling. And, you love the Paige/Piper moments? Well, so do I! I like them in the show, so I put a lot in! And, you are about a step behind me. That comes in this chapter, I have more plans for the stalker, that's in this chapter, and that will come soon! And don't worry, I make reviews like that sometimes, and you are not a control freak.
piperleo4eva - Okay, the first part of your review completely proved my point. Oh, and your twin reads this fic too? Who told who about it, or did you both read it and both decided you liked it? I'm just wondering.
Jules713 - Yay, rejoicing for Piper awakeness! I love the song too, that's why I used it in the fic! And, violent.
C.C. McKenna - Yay! I succeeded in tricking someone! And Angel is one of MY favorite songs of all time too, that' s why I put the whole song in there. Also, nice pun!
PiperHalliwell025 - Did you know that that was 56 thank yous? Well, thank you for your review. I'm sorry, I had to pun.
JanaRose - Yay! Someone else I tricked! Also, you were literally crying? Wow, I am surprised, even though I normally cry when I hear either of those songs. You're welcome for taking away suspense.
LeoPiper24/7 - Nice way to spell believe. Anyway, another one tricked! And, yes, for now...
Now, chapter 29...
:::::::
Paige stared at Piper for a moment, and then she smiled. Piper smiled back, and then pointed down her bed. Paige followed her finger, and saw that she was pointing at the pencil and paper. "Oh, I guess you can't talk." Paige said, still smiling. Piper moved to nod her head, but when she started, it really hurt, so she gave Paige a look that told her the answer. "Oh, okay." Paige said, and handed the writing utensils to her. Piper wrote something on the notepad, then handed it to Paige.
And Paige read it. "Are the others okay?" Paige's ear-to-ear smile went past her ears. Even when Piper had just woken up from a coma, the first thing she said was about someone else. "Yes, they're great!" Paige said. She leaned over to give Piper a hug, but Piper's hands stopped her. "Oh, right, forgot." Paige said, her smile fading a little bit. Then, Piper waved her hand, as if to say "It's okay." and Paige's smile returned. For a moment, Piper looked at her expectantly. "Wait... I should probably tell the doctors that you're up!" Paige realized. Piper gave her a thumbs up. "Okay! Be back soon!" she said, then ran out of the room.
;;;;;;;;
Paige's guard followed her all the way back to the waiting room. Everyone looked up as they saw Paige running in early with a frantic look on her face, they automatically assumed the worst. But, Paige paid no attention to them. She saw Dr. Kush standing a bit off to the side, and ran up to him. He looked at her as if he thought she was going to tell him Piper died. Suddenly, she smiled, and began hopping in circles around the doctor. Her hands were by her shoulders and were flapping wildly. And, she kept squealing something that sounded like "Mini me!". Everyone looked at her like she was insane. Glenn ran up and grabbed her. He shouted, over the squeals, "Paige, calm down! What happened?" Paige took a deep breath to calm herself. Then, her huge smile returned. "Piper's up! She's awake!"
Everyone looked at her, then their faces broke out into grins. Prue began crying again, but this time, from joy. "Are you sure?" Dr. Kush asked. "Yes! Of course I am! I wouldn't be telling you this if I wasn't!" Dr. Kush then ran out the door, calling his fellow nurses and doctors.
"But, how?" Andy asked. "I mean, Dr. Kush had just basically told us that she was... dying." "Well," Paige said, "He was sadly mistaken. I've been singing to Piper because I felt I could reach her in some way by doing so. And today, I sang the song "Angel", then I cried. When I got up, I saw Piper's hand in mine, and her thumb reassuringly rubbing my hand. Then, I looked up, and her eyes were open and she was smiling at me!" Paige squealed the last part. She couldn't help herself. She was so happy! Phoebe and Prue then squealed as well, and jumped up. They ran over and hugged Paige, and all three jumped up and down, making their high pitched girlie squeals. Then, Leo got up, and joined in the hug, jumping up and down, but he didn't make squeals. Andy then joined, then Billy and Glenn.
They were a big jumping, happy mass when Dr. Kush came back. He cleared his throat loudly, and Grams said, "Children!" They let go and stopped jumping and making noise, but they didn't stop smiling. They all faced him, and he broke into a smile too. "I am pleased to inform you that Piper Halliwell has indeed woken up from her coma." "Well, duh!" Paige said, giving him a strange look. "Paige!" "Sorry." Paige said, face going downcast. Then, she smiled again. She couldn't help it. "And, I have some other news for you." Dr. Kush continued, still smiling. "What?" Glenn asked, wondering what else he could say.
"Well, we know that Miss Matthews here needs to find her family, and she has a time limit." he said. Paige nodded. "Well, you, Ms. Matthews..." "Paige." Paige interjected. She hated when people called her by her surname. "Well, Paige, you do know that you donated blood to Ms. Halliwell, correct?" Paige nodded again. "Well, we ran some tests on your blood, and we found something very interesting. We found a genetic link between yours and Piper's blood." Their jaws dropped open, even Grams. "What?" Paige asked. What on earth could link her to the Halliwells? "Paige, we found your immediate family. Piper and her sisters are your half sisters, and Ms. Halliwell here," he indicated Grams, "is your full grandmother and legal guardian."
They just stared at him for a moment. "Come here, sis!" Phoebe said, then hugged Paige. "Oh, my dear sisters!" Prue said, hugging them both. When they let go, Phoebe said, "Woah. Creepy realization." "What?" Billy asked. "I just realized that four sisters are dating four brothers." "Creepy, but who cares?" Prue said, then grabbed Andy and kissed him.
Dr. Kush looked onto the happy kids, and then remembered something. "Oh, you all can go see Piper. You can all go in together if you promise to be really caref-" "We will!" Phoebe said quickly, and everyone gave him the boy scout salute. Dr. Kush laughed. "Okay, okay, go!" The seven then ran out through the door and into the hallway.
When they left, Grams turned to Dr. Kush. "Are you sure about letting them all in there?" she asked. "Yes, I am sure. As long as they keep careful, it'll be fine."
;;;;;;;
Piper was laying on her bed thinking. The doctors had just left. They had asked her a lot of questions about how she felt, and seemed to test her a bit. They had also removed the ventilator, so she could talk again, but only in a whisper. 'Why was Paige crying?' she thought. 'The others are okay, so could it have been about me? No, it couldn't.' Piper's thoughts were then interrupted.
"Piper!" Piper looked towards the door, and saw all seven of the group there. They all ran up, and all made to hug her, except for Paige. Piper put her hands up to block them. They all stopped, remembering about Piper's injuries. Instead, they surrounded her bed. "Piper, we missed you SO much!" Prue said, trying her hardest to keep from hugging her younger sister. Piper looked at her strangely. "Yeah, we all did. These four weeks have been tough." Glenn said. Piper's eyes widened. "I missed that much school?" she asked quietly. "You can talk!" Paige said. "Don't change the subject." Piper said, and turned back to Glenn. "Are you serious?" she asked. Then, everyone burst out laughing. It was just like Piper to freak out about missing schoolwork. "Oh my God." Piper said, closing her eyes. She couldn't even begin to imagine how much schoolwork she would have to make up.
"Well, don't sweat." Billy said. "I'm sure you won't have to make up any English work. The substitute hasn't given Leo any, so why would you have to do some?" "Wait, substitute?" Piper asked. "Yeah, you really didn't expect HIM to stick around, did you?" Billy said, not being able to say Mr. Connel. "Wait, he hasn't been caught?" Piper asked, a look of fear suddenly coming to her face. "No, I'm sorry Piper, he hasn't" Andy said, experiencing his protection feeling again. "Oh." she said, looking away from them all.
"It's gonna be okay though, Piper." Leo said, stroking her cheek lovingly. They then looked into each other's eyes. Leo couldn't help himself. One look into her chocolate brown eyes and he was hooked. "Piper, I don't know how to tell you this, so I'll just come out with it. When you were... here, I did a lot of thinking, and Piper, I love you." Piper just looked at him for a moment. Leo was nervous, not knowing how she would react. She then beckoned him to lean down. When he did, she held on to his collar and put her mouth to his ear. "And I love you." she whispered. They he turned to face her, and they kissed passionately. When Leo finally pulled away, they looked around at the other people in the room. They found that they had all moved back. Prue, Phoebe, and Paige were all smiling widely. Andy and Billy were looking at the ceiling, rocking back and forth on their feet. Glenn was looking at them disgustedly. "Ew." he said. Paige stepped on his foot and looked at him sternly. "What?" he asked.
"Okay, okay, Leo. It's my turn to talk to Piper." Phoebe said. Leo graciously moved aside. "I've missed you, older sister!" Phoebe said, squeezing Piper's hand. "Same here." Paige added, coming up on Piper's other side. Piper turned and looked at her queerly. "What..." "Do I mean by that?" Paige finished for her. "Yeah." Piper said. "Well, when you first came here, I gave a blood donation, since we have the same blood type." "And so do I." Andy added. "Weird. Three people with that blood type in a group of eight friends." Billy said. "But, that's not the point." Paige continued. "Well, they ran some tests on our blood. It turns out, we have a genetic link. I'm your half sister." Paige finished, smiling still. This was the first time she had actually said that out loud. She was her best friends' half sister. She could hardly believe it, even though she had known it for a couple of hours. "Really?" Piper asked. Paige and Phoebe both nodded. "That's great!" Piper said smiling, and squeezed Paige's hand. Paige smiled back. "Okay, sis, let me talk to your oldest sister now, kay?" Piper said, looking over at Prue, who was waiting patiently.
Phoebe and Paige left Piper and joined the boys as Prue came up to Piper's side. That was when Prue burst into tears for the umpteenth time that day. "Oh my God, Piper. I am so sorry. This is all my fault. This never would have happened if it wasn't for me. You didn't deserve this, and I brought it to you. You should have never been through this. It's all my fault." Prue continued rambling while the others stared at her. They had no idea that she felt this way. Then, Piper slapped Prue on the arm. Prue stopped talking and looked at her. Piper had finally gotten her attention. "Prue. It isn't your fault, none of this is. What the hell gave you the idea that it was?" Piper asked. She could not believe that Prue felt that way. "He told me it was my fault. He told me it was my fault that you got hurt. That you all got hurt." Prue said, tears still flowing. "You didn't tell us that." Andy said, still looking at her. "Prue, you're crazy. None of this is your fault. You here me? NONE OF IT!" Piper had a bit of anger in your voice. "And I don't get how you could even think that! No one is to blame except for that... thing that calls himself a human. He just told you that to get you upset. He was lying. None of what happened to me that night was your fault. Nor were the injuries of the others. I saw them happen, every single one. And none of it, I repeat, none of it, was your fault." Piper finished, a bit angrier than when she had started.
Everyone was staring at her now, but she didn't care. She had needed to knock some sense into her older sister. "You're right, Piper." Prue said, tears slowing down. "I shouldn't have listened to him. I'm sorry I believed him." "It's alright, Prue. Now, give me a hug." Piper said, and held out her arm. Prue looked at Piper like she was crazy. Piper reached up with her arm and grabbed Prue in a one-arm hug. "Geez, Prue, you just HAD to take the first hug, didn't you?" Phoebe said sarcastically. "Well, I didn't see you jumping at the opportunity." Prue responded. "Oh, cut it out, you two!" Piper said. "Now, I won't a hug from my sisters, all three of them." Piper said, waving her free arm at Phoebe and Paige, who quickly came over. The four had their first hug as sisters.
;;;;;;;
"Okay, dears, I want to spend time with my granddaughter before visiting hours are up, which is in five minutes." Grams said from the doorway. The eight had just sat around for the rest of the time, talking. They talked about their days, and they caught Piper up on stuff that she missed, which was a lot. They talked about everything except for the reason that they were there, in the hospital. They did this until Grams came, shooing them out.
"Aw, Grams, do we have to?" Phoebe said. She wanted to spend some more time with her sister. "Yes, dear, you have to. You all have to. Now, shoo!" "Bye, Piper!" Prue said. "Bye sis!" Paige said with a chuckle. "See ya!" Phoebe called. "See you tomorrow, honey." Leo said, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "See ya, Piper." "Tomorrow." "Bya!" "That's enough, go!" Grams said, closing the door when Leo, the last person to leave, cleared out of the way.
"Yes, Grams?" Piper asked. She was now sitting up. Well, not really. The others had gotten about seven pillows from the nurses, and propped Piper up into a position where she would be comfortable. "How are you doing, dear?" Grams asked. "Fine, Grams. My stomach and chest hurt, a lot, but it's nothing I can't handle. And, I'm not having any dizzy spells." Piper answered. "Good, but that's not what I meant." Grams said. "Oh, do you mean how am I dealing? Well, it has been pretty overwhelming. I found out that I have a new sister, my boyfriend loves me, I've been in a coma for four weeks, and my older sister blames herself for that coma." "What?" Grams asked. She didn't know about two of those. "Yup. I guess this all proves that I have a pretty boring life." Piper said sarcastically. Grams chuckled. Piper was definitely back.
"Piper," Grams started, her voice serious. Piper wondered what Grams was going to tell her. "Piper, the police need to talk to you tomorrow. They need to know what happened." "Oh." Piper said, not cheery anymore. "Do you think you can do it?" Grams asked. "Yeah, I think so." she said, nodding slightly. She didn't want to talk about it, she didn't want to relive it. But, she knew she would have to. She knew she would have to talk.
:::::::
AN: Okay, there you go. Paige is now sisterly! I am sooo happy! I know you are probably looking at the computer weirdly now, since I am happy that something happened that was in my own fic. Well, I'm just weird like that. Also, just to let you know, my hands were going wonky while I was writing this. I originally had Prue kissing Billy in this, and Piper was repeatedly male. But, anyway, this is after a song by Ce Ce Peniston!
winter blaze - Here is the next chapter. Oh, and Avril's new cd is about ten times better than her last one, and I really liked that one. It is fantabulous! In fact, I am listening to it right now! And, I'll keep that song in mind.

Piper said, not cheery anymore. "Do you think you can do it?" Grams asked. "Yeah, I think so." she said, nodding slightly. She didn't want to talk about it, she didn't want to relive it. But, she knew she would have to. She knew she would have to talk.

AN: Okay, there you go. Paige is now sisterly! I am sooo happy! I know you are probably looking at the computer weirdly now, since I am happy that something happened that was in my own fic. Well, I'm just weird like that. Also, just to let you know, my hands were going wonky while I was writing this. I originally had Prue kissing Billy in this, and Piper was repeatedly male. But, anyway, this is after a song by Ce Ce Peniston!
