Part 4

"No! You are not going to..." Jason shouted as he banged his hand on the table, where Leo, Prue and Piper were stood around,

"Jason, there is know other way, I'd rather do this than lose my sister."

"No I promised her...I Promised."

"I understand that Jason, but if we don't she'll die." Piper explained as her eyes were filling with tears, all could tell that this was breaking Jason's heart,

"She has been through so much...I can't." he shouted,

"If you don't then, we are going to lose her...Is that what you want." Prue shouted her anger getting the better of her

"How can you make this decision...surly Phoebe should get a say." Jason screamed in response,

"Jason...Phoebe wont be forced to do this, but firstly we have to convince you...this is for the best." Prue said forcefully, looking him square in the eye.

"This is my baby you are talking about like it's nothing..." Jason shouted,

"I know Jason...and trust me...this is hard for us too." Piper tried to explain,

"Piper, this is too much...no way can you ask me to choose."

"I wish that I didn't have to...but I do!"

"Now if I came in here and told you that you had to chose between Piper and Wyatt, what would you do Leo?" Jason shouted,

"Jason, this isn't the time for hypothetical situations! Phoebe's situation is very real, you need to make a decision, what's it going to be?"

Jason sat outside Phoebe's bedroom door, tears streamed down his face, as he felt his heart breaking, he'd been there for an hour now, since the confrontation with the sisters and Leo. Still he hadn't got the courage to go in to Phoebe, to face her. He could hear as she was overcome with pain, as the poison ripped through her.

He rested his head of the wall behind him and looked up to the ceiling, he was praying that there would be another way, he had started looking but lost it with Prue shortly after, he was unable to help in the kitchen, mostly because of the consequences if he failed, but the consequences were just as great now he was sitting here. If Prue didn't find something in that damn book, then that was it his life was over, emotionally anyway because he would lose something very special.

Piper and Prue walked up the stairs of the Manor followed by Leo who was holding a potion bottle. They momentarily hesitated, and looked at each other, "Are you guys ready?" Prue asked,

"As ready as we'll ever be" Piper answered taking a deep breath to control her emotions, to push them away, because if she let feelings in she wouldn't be able to go through with this.

All three proceeded to the top of the stairs and as they started to walk towards the bedroom door, they saw Jason, tears falling down his cheeks and his body trembling.

Jason hared them come to the top of the stairs and he didn't miss the sighs from them when they saw him, "Tell me you found something anything" Jason demanded, as he forced himself to stand to his feet, and turn to them. When he saw the solemn look across all of their faces he knew that it wasn't the case. The realization that he was going to lose a very special person was hitting him, HARD.

"Jason, this is the only way. I'm sorry." Prue offered,

"Not as sorry as me because I have to walk in there and face Phoebe, I have to look her in the face and tell her that I have to kill our baby to save her. How do you think that she is going to feel?" he asked angrily, it was anger not directed towards the sisters but unfortunately they were the people there now, the people that he was taking it out on, the people that he focused blame onto, when really it was him that he blamed, for not coming up with an alternate solution and not been able to save her. To save his baby, he blamed himself.

Piper walked over to Jason and put her hand on his arm, "Jason...I can't lose my baby sister. Please...you have to make her take this." She explained, Jason looked at her, "I'll try. I really will...I don't want to lose her either." Piper nodded and they all turned to face the door.

Jason pushed it open, and saw Phoebe as she shook in pain, unable to open her eyes or even speak, she tried to but unsuccessfully failed. Jason felt a lump form in his throat as his heart beat faster, it felt as if it was going to explode, he cringed and hoped that he would be able to make it through this with out breaking, and losing it.

All were now in the room they were stood near the door, and watched as the heartbreaking scene unfolded before them, watched as Jason made his way to Phoebe.

He hesitantly took steps closer to the bed, each step becoming harder, he sat down next to Phoebe and took a deep breath, pushing the tears back, and putting up a front.

"Phoebe, baby?" He moved his hand up to her face, which was burning up, hot and sticky; a mixture of tears and sweat, Phoebe wasn't looking good, not at all.

"Baby its Jason." Phoebe hared his voice and felt his hand on her cheek, she forced her eyes open with a great deal of effort, her vision was blurred and her head was spinning, she was so weak, she knew herself that she didn't have long.

"I...It hurts!" Was the first thing she said, her voice barely audible, but because of the deathly silence it could be hared by all, "I know Baby. I know." Jason said, Phoebe felt as a tear fell from Jason and splashed onto her hand which he held in his, she knew this wasn't good, "Tell me!" was all she said,

"Phoebe...I" he stopped,

"What?" she asked again, Jason looked into her eyes and knew deep down that she knew what was coming next; his lip trembled as he explained, "I tried, we all did but Phoebe the only way to save you is with this potion." Phoebe felt as her hand trembled, unsure weather she wanted to know, she forced her self to ask, "But?"

"Phoebe, our baby it, won't live." There it was the ultimate sacrifice out in the open.

Phoebe hared it but didn't want to believe it, "No you promised Jason, you promised me...we'd have everything a family, a future...I can't."

"Phoebe I know it's hard, I don't want this either but...it's the only way."

"There...has to be..." Phoebe started coughing as pain ranched through her; she was unable to keep a steady breath.

Jason reached out to help her, but to his surprise and to the others in the room, Phoebe pulled away weakly, and when she could spoke, "Don't touch me, unless you have another solution don't..."

Jason stood up, "Phoebe it's the only way." He shouted, tears tumbling down his face, "Please I'm begging you take the potion."

"You're asking me to kill my baby. How can you do that?"

"Phoebe, if we don't then, we are going to lose you"

"Well I can't...kill...my baby. Not again, it can't happen again." Prue couldn't stand back any longer, "Please Phoebe, I want my sister again."

"Don't touch me...anyone...just don't." Phoebe managed between sobs,

"Phoebe, if you don't take this then you are going to die, I don't want that, I can't lose you." Piper finished, "Look you saved Wyatt, that's why you are here, and I feel responsible, so please just. Take this." She said taking the potion and walking close to Phoebe, "I won't kill my baby Piper."

"Then you'll die, and either way that baby is going to die...
