A/N: thanks to Mickis (sorry about your dog-that must have been horrible),
line100, Trunks Ichijouji and Charming Chix for reviewing the last chapter.
Here's the next one for you!
~*~*~ Chapter 4~*~*~
The phone call had been the hospital; Piper's operation was almost finished so the nurse said Leo, Phoebe and Paige should come now so that they could see Piper when she came out of surgery.
Leo got out of bed as quick as he could and ran down the hall, coming to an abrupt stop outside Melinda's room-he didn't want to wake his daughter whilst getting Phoebe. He gently pushed the door open and stepped into the room. He could hear the deep; even breaths of his daughter and he knew that meant she was sleeping. He walked over to the other side of the room when he heard Phoebe whisper,
"Leo, is that you?"
"Yeah, Phoebe the hospital called. They said we could see her."
Phoebe hadn't been sleeping; she couldn't sleep knowing that Piper was half way across town in the middle of an operation instead of sleeping in her own bed. Scenes of the devastation that had met her when she came back from the underworld when Prue died swam across her mind all night. They were dominated only by images of the shop, of Piper lying helpless and bleeding on the shop floor. It felt to Phoebe that history was repeating itself and a cold fear settled in the pit of her stomach. Then Leo had come in and a glimmer of hope flashed in Phoebe's mind, Piper might just be okay. This time it might not be the end. Phoebe got hope and held onto that thought as though it were the most precious thing in the world, it was something she just wasn't willing to let go of.
Phoebe pulled on her clothes from the day before as Leo went to wake up Paige, he then orbed back to his room dressed quickly and orbed back into the sitting room just as phoebe reached the bottom of the stairs.
"Okay, are we all ready?" Leo asked as he held onto Phoebe's arm. "Paige, you know where you're going?"
Paige nodded he head in conformation and Leo started to get ready to orb.
"Wait!" Darryl jumped out of his chair. "I'm going with you, there's bound to be a lot of people at the hospital wanting to know more."
"what about Wyatt and Melinda?" Leo asked
"I'll look after them don't worry just go see Piper!" Alex said hurriedly. He never minded looking after his niece and nephew. Leo and Phoebe were engulfed in Blue orbs and Paige grabbed Darryl's arm and the two of them then left in the same way.
Paige had recovered to a degree after all her locked up emotion had seemed to wash away as she cried last night. She was still extremely worried and dint even want to contemplate what could happen any more, but at least she could talk-that was a start.
The group reappeared in what looked like a store room. Leo wrenched open the door and they spilled out into a deserted corridor. Phoebe started to run down the hall, followed by Leo, Paige and then Darryl. She came to a stop in front of a desk.
"Piper Halliwell, where's Piper Halliwell."
The nurse at the desk seemed to take an antagonizingly long time to check the computer screen before looking up to meet Phoebe in the eye. The nurse seemed to be hurried by the desperation that was in Phoebe's eye and quickly released the relevant information,
"Intensive care unit, room 3, it's on the fourth floor. Use the lift and then turn left. It's the third door on the right after that."
Phoebe ran of again in the direction of the lift (a/n sorry elevator for those who don't know what a lift is). She pressed the button several times and then the four of them raced into the tiny metallic capsule before being taken to the fourth floor. Once out of the lift they followed the directions the nurse downstairs had described, stopping at the third door on the right.

A/N sorry it's so short but I really wanted to get another chapter out. The next one will be when they see Piper for the first time after the accident. There will also be more about the press and what the crowds saw. Please review!!!!
