Part 5

Phoebe felt herself lose control, then everyone in the room turned into Cole, she looked around, all for of them turned into her ex-husband, she felt herself gasping for breath but it was becoming harder to breath harder to focus, "No...NO!"

"You kill my baby Phoebe! You ... killed our ... Baby!"

Phoebe's eyes flew open, she gasped for breath but when she tried to move she felt Jason's strong arms pushing her back to lie down, she looked into his teary eyes, and then she thought, "A dream." She whispered, "You..."

"Phoebe calm down, you just had a bad dream, that's all I haven't moved from your side since Piper left, it was a dream you are safe." Phoebe pulled Jason into her with what little strength that she had left, as her body shook uncontrollably with sobs, "Shush, come on honey."

About tem minuets later Phoebe lay in his arms not moving, Jason lay next to her and his hand rested on her stomach, she spoke in obvious pain, "I had a night mare! Promise you won't kill my baby!"

"I promise Phoebe!" He reassured her, he didn't know the details but knew that Phoebe had a really bad nightmare and he would do anything to stop that from becoming a reality.

There was a knock on the door and Piper walked in, "Phoebe, Jason can I talk?" She asked,

"Yeah!" Jason said

with this Piper and Prue walked in, "I have a solution"

"Will it work?" Jason asked.

Prue took over, she walked to the youngest, and sat next to her, "Phoebe, I'm going to make sure that Piper and I are able to save you and your baby got it?" she asked

Phoebe forced herself to look at her sister, "I can't lose it!"

Prue nodded, "I know baby, and I promise we will save you."

Jason stood up "How exactly?" he asked,

my turn Piper thought, "We are going to have a little chat with are good old friend the elders, and more specifically, the death tribunal, we are going to save you and your family!"

"What do we do?" Jason asked,

"You sit here and look after my baby sister, and don't let anything happen to her, because I will kill you if she is in any worse shape got it"

Jason stood up, "Will this work?" He asked,

"Hay, have your big sisters ever let you down before?" Piper asked,

Phoebe just let tears fall, as pain really was becoming unbearable, "Prue, Piper...if I...I!"

"No Phoebe that isn't going to..."

"IF you don't get back in time, I just...I love you." Piper and Prue now had tears tumbling down there face, both went over to their baby sister and took her hand, "That's not going to happen, and we know you love us, we know that." Piper said,

Prue brought her hand up to Phoebes over heated face, "Baby, please hold on."

Phoebe just closed her eyes relishing in the comforting touch of her sisters, "Love you." She whispered,

they both kissed her on the forehead and stood up, "We won't be long, Jason, look after her, please." He nodded,

"Don't be long!" He said they understood by that he was unsure how long Phoebe could hold on for.

They nodded and casting one last look at the baby sister they turned to the door, "Leo will be up there with us so if you need anything just call."

Jason nodded, "Okay." He said, "Good luck." Phoebe was now crying due to pain, physical and mental.

"Prue, I can't loose my baby sister."

"I know that won't happen." Piper nodded, it was then Leo appeared in front of them, "Ready to go?" He asked,

"As I'll ever be" Piper answered, taking her husbands hand and Prue's, he orbed up there to the fluffy ness of white lighter land, a land not so fluffy, and not so inviting to none whitelighters but this was there only chance, the only way that they could save their sister.

Before they knew it they were stood in a large white chamber, sat in a row were three head elders, each looked just as old as the last, nether looked inviting, "Who dears to enter the chamber." A voice bellowed,

Leo spoke up, "sir, we request permission to freely speak."

The elders cast a glance across each other, until on nodded, "Permission granted, step up!"

Leo stepped forward, "We want to speak about the latest events..."

before Leo could finish one of the elders spoke, "Ah, that event would be that of the youngest..."

"Yes, it is. Phoebe has been injured by the arrow of a dark lighter, we would like you to reverse this effect immediately" Leo said,

"Leo, we have assigned not one but two whitelighters to the Halliwell household, you have the power to reverse the effects of an arrow, she isn't whitelighter, and she can not die from the poison."

Leo stepped closer, "Yes but she is with child..."

"CHILD" Another repeated, "And how dose this affect her condition?" He asked,

"The child is that of Jason." Leo explained, one elder stood to his feet,

"DEAN, JASON DEAN!" He boomed, "Leo, tell me, you are not suggesting these two have become a...an item!"

"That is exactly what I am telling you; reverse the effects of this, I beg of you."

One elder got off of his chair and stood to his feet, obviously he was in charge "It is for these reasons exactly that we forbid the pairing of charge and whitelighter, we can not reverse the affects of this..."

"If you don't then the youngest will die..."

"Leo" Shouted the elder, "just because these are the charmed ones we can not favor them over any other charge...we can not"

"These girls jeopardized their every existence to do your work to fight the fight..." Leo fought,

"Yes and in doing so have broken every rule that we have..."

"Rule...my god these girls have been through so much, you can not compare there mistakes to the success."

"I am afraid that is exactly what we can do"

"Well you will have a hard time, that girl has done so much good..."

"That girl you refer to has jeopardized, her life, the life of the charmed ones and the exposure of magic, more times than I care to count."

"She has always fixed her mistakes..."

"Mistakes, much like this that should never have happened, mistakes that have happened because of carelessness and this is no exception..."

"She had no Idea that Jason was a whitelighter, she only found out today..."

"All be it...she was deceived by those she trusted, she still has many more examples of her carelessness, how did she become struck by an arrow?" he asked

That was it, this guy continuously bad mouthed her baby sister and she had taken as much as she was prepared to, she stepped forward and erupted, "I demand that you reverse these effects."

"Ah, another of those witches who seem not to care for the rules and laws we set down, the middle sister, Piper Halliwell."

"Look my sister would give her life for the greater good, all in this room know that and she would sacrifice herself for her family."

Prue tried to calm Piper down but couldn't get a word in, as was the same in Leo's case, "You sent her the premonition, she saw my son was in danger and reacted, how can you condemn her to a death sentence, for saving her family..."

"As you said she has sacrificed herself, another careless stunt, diving in front of the arrow."

"Careless! What gives you the right to sit up here on your ass and bad mouth my sister? Now you let us save her and her baby"

"You really think it is that simple?" the head elder once again bellowed,

"I know it's that simple...now save my sister."

"What makes you think I am prepared to erase the course lay out...especially for the youngest."

Oh that was it, Prue's turn, she stepped up to base, into the light and let go, "What the hell is that supposed to mean?" She shouted,

"I'll tell you...all three of you exactly what that means to perform such a task, to carry something such as this out I need to be convinced she is worth it, right now I have a never ending list of faults"

"Faults. You want to know something my sister would do anything for the good of magic and the safety of an innocent" Prue corrected,

"Oh really, anything..."

"Anything!" Prue echoed, sounding confident,

"Well then all these faults must have a rational explanation...so how about you give me one." Prue and Piper nodded, "Hit us..."

"How about the most famous of her mistakes, BALTHAZOR! Why did she fail to kill him?"

"She loved him."

"Oh she loved him...but surly she would have given him up for the good of magic, the safety of innocents."

"She killed him, numerous occasions" piper corrected,

"Yes she did but not when it mattered the most. Not when she could have reduced the demonic problems, stop him from succeeding the thrown and becoming the source"

"She killed him while pregnant with his child, now if that is not showing you here that she would do anything for the good of magic then nothing will."

"Ah and this leads to another fault, the demonic child she carried" He continued, "not only could this have been dangerous for both good and evil to have such a mix of pure magic both evil and good could have been disastrous"

"Could have been, but once again Phoebe did what she had to..."

"Yes but the problem is she should never have allowed herself to get into such a predicament, we are not here for a get out of jail free card..."

Leo stepped up, "you are only picking up on her faults, what about the good she has done? Phoebe Halliwell has done more good that most..."

"Care to shear?" the elder asked,

"I am not going to stand here swapping ideas with you...that girl deserves more respect from you, from magic...I love that girl like a sister...and you fail to realize in letting her die you will lose more than Phoebe...you will lose the power of three, the trust of her sisters and the respect of two whitelighters."

"I think it is you Leo who has lost respect for us do you understand whom exactly it is you are talking to?" The elder bellowed,

"oh trust me, I know exactly, I ask you to do this for me, for her, for the greater good."

The elder stopped a moment, "I realize in letting the youngest die, I would lose more than I care to...so I have a few conditions..."

"Which are?" Prue jumped in,

"If I were to agree to reverse the affects, there is to be changes, these are requests that can not be argued against either, you take my offer or leave to be with your dieing sister."

"What are they? What do we have to do?" Piper asked

"You have to agree to..."
