A/N: Wow! Thanks a million for reviewing! BTW, thanks for the suggestion,
Susan. :) I probably will give at least a few of the sisters powers that
they didn't have in the show, but not right away. ;)
There Is A Reason For Everything
Chapter 2: A Day Of Firsts
'Think fast, Penny! A...spell!' Penny thought. "I wish I may, I wish I might, have my granddaughter Prudence, sleep at my sight!" Penny recited. Penny stared at Prue. "Prue, open your eyes!" Penny yelled. Prue held her head and opened her eyes. The huge, orange-red flames were growing. "Look at me!" Penny called. Prue looked over to Penny and locked eyes with her, instantly Prue slid to the ground, in a deep sleep. Penny ran to the kitchen and filled the pan with more cold water. Penny then ran back to the stairs and waved her hand, telekinetically throwing the water over the fire. After a few more pans of water the fire was gone and a huge scorch mark lay on the stairs. Penny rushed up the stairs to Prue and held her granddaughter's hand. "Oh Prue, I think I may know what has happened. This never should've happened though. It's too soon, for all of you!" Penny whispered. Suddenly the alarm on Piper's alarm clock went off. 'It must be six-thirty.' Penny thought. Penny heard the alarm clock stop and then some noise in Piper's room. Penny carefully lifted Prue's sleeping form up and slowly got Prue to her room. Penny laid Prue on her bed and then waved her hand, telekinetically moving a blanket over Prue. Penny walked out of Prue's room, shutting the door behind her. Piper met Penny in the hall. "Grams, where is Prue?" Piper asked. "She...Prue is sick today, I'm keeping her home." Penny replied. Piper shrugged. "Okay, tell her I hope she feels better for me." Piper said. "Of course I will. Now, hurry and get ready for school." Penny replied. Piper nodded and ran down the stairs, not noticing the huge scorch mark.
A girl with long, dark hair sat huddled in a chair. "Please, please, please! Don't make me go! Please!" The girl pleaded. Her skin was very pale and her eyes were the color of chocolate. "No Paige, I'm sorry. I can't home school you anymore. I have way too much work to do now." A taller woman, with brown hair spoke. "But just until the end of the year, Sister Agnus. I promise I will go next year!" Paige begged. "No Paige, I'm sorry. Now, go make some tea for yourself....You've got a little less than two hours before the bus comes." Sister Agnus replied. Paige sniffed and got up off the chair. "Thanks a lot!" Paige yelled, in a sarcastic tone. Then Paige ran out of the room.
"Yes, ten o' clock would be fine. Mhmm. Okay. Thank you, bye." Penny said. Then Penny placed the phone back on the receiver. Piper ran into the kitchen and hugged Penny. "I'm gonna go wait for the bus now. Bye Grams!" Piper said. "Bye dear!" Penny called at Piper ran out the front door. Penny stared at the clock, it read 6:55 A.M. Penny walked out of the kitchen, through the living room, and up the stairs. Penny opened Prue's door and walked in, shutting the door behind her. Penny mumbled a small spell to herself and then Prue's eyes opened. "Gr..wait, where am I?" Prue asked. Prue looked around the room, then realized it was her own room. 'How'd I get here. The last thing I remember was fighting with Grams and then a fire.' Prue thought. She had a puzzled look on her face and then looked at the clock. 'Almost seven! I'm late!' Prue thought, with panic. Penny could see Prue's panicked expression. "Don't worry, you aren't going to school today. Just rest. We have an appointment for you at ten o' clock." Penny said. "What kind of an appointment?" Prue asked. "A doctor's appointment." Penny replied. Prue clenched her fist. "Why?" Prue asked. "Because, I need to make sure you aren't pregnant." Penny said. "What?! How could you think that?!" Prue asked, her voice slightly raising. "I need to know. If you are, then there is something extremely important I need to tell you and your sisters. And Prue, calm down." Penny said. Prue took a deep breath. 'God, I hope I'm not pregnant. I'll be so dead if I am.' Prue thought. "I want to be left alone." Prue said in an icy tone. "As you wish." Penny replied, then she exited Prue's room.
Paige stared at the clock on the church wall. She hated every passing second. 'I don't want to go to a public school!' Paige's mind screamed. Paige took another sip of her peppermint tea. Paige sighed. It was cold, she would rather be sleeping until 10:00 A.M., like usual. "This sucks!" Paige declared, to herself. Paige hopped up off the chair she had been sitting on and ran down a long hall. She came to a small room and opened the door. A small purple dress was laying on her bed. The dress was trimmed with white lace. Then a pair of white socks and white shoes, with a small heel, were laying on the floor. Paige mumbled something to herself and shut the door.
Sister Agnus looked at her watch, it read 7:15 A.M. Sister Agnus sighed and then picked up her rag once more and wiped another dirty window. She heard a small noise behind her and turned around. Paige was standing in the doorway wearing the dress, socks, and shoes. "Paige, darling, you look beautiful!" Sister Agnus complimented. Sister Agnus put down her rag and pulled a small, purple ribbon from her pocket. Sister Agnus walked behind Paige and tied the ribbon around Paige's ponytail, making a pretty little bow. "Now turn that frown, upside down." Sister Agnus said, trying to sound cheerful. Paige glared then walked over to a small desk. Paige grabbed a little piece of paper and pen, then she drew a curved line on the piece of paper. Paige then placed the paper over her mouth, it looked as if she drew a smile on the paper. "Happy now?" Paige mumbled, still holding the paper in front of her mouth. "Paige, don't be like that." Sister Agnus said. Paige put the paper down and then made a noise. "Come now, I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun and make a lot of friends at school." Sister Agnus said. "No I won't! It's gonna be horrible! I won't have any fun at all!" Paige said, angrily. Sister Agnus pretended as if she hadn't heard Paige's comment. Sister Agnus picked up a purple and black backpack and handed it to Paige. "You have a lunch box in there and in the small pouch on the front, my phone number is there." Sister Agnus said, then she handed the backpack to Paige. Sister Agnus looked at her watch again, it now read 7:45 A.M.
Phoebe lay sleeping in her bed and then her alarm clock started to boom, in her ear. Phoebe's eyes shot open and she smacked the alarm clock, instantly making the alarm clock go silent. Phoebe moaned. She really hated school. Phoebe rubbed her eyes and stumbled out of bed. She shivered for a moment. "I really hate Mondays." Phoebe muttered, as she opened her closet. Phoebe grabbed a green top with little silver flowers on it and then green pants. She squinted her eyes, looking over her many pairs of shoes for the right ones. Phoebe then bent down and grabbed a pair of silver sandals with a small heel. Phoebe's face perked up at the smell of fresh eggs and bacon.
Penny placed two plates on the table, each filled with 2 sunny side up eggs and 3 pieces of bacon. Penny then grabbed a carton of orange juice from the refrigerator and poured a full cup in each of the 2 glasses on the table. Penny placed the orange juice back, just as Phoebe dashed into the kitchen. "Oh! Looks...and smell really good Grams!" Phoebe said, as she plopped down and stuffed 2 pieces of bacon into her mouth. Moments later a tired looking Prue walked into the kitchen and a puzzled look crossed Phoebe's face. "Grams, whas Prue doum here, thif late?" Phoebe asked. Her words weren't very clear because she was talking with food in her mouth. "She's sick today. And don't talk with food in your mouth, it's rude and you're hard to understand." Penny said. Phoebe took a drink of her orange juice and then swallowed the bacon in her mouth. "What's wrong with her?" Phoebe asked. "She just isn't feeling well and that's all you need to know, Missy." Penny said. Phoebe shrugged and stuffed a large bite of bacon and eggs into her mouth. Prue cut into the eggs and then felt her stomach begin to turn. "Oh God!" Prue yelped and then she ran upstairs to the bathroom. Prue threw open the toilet and began to vomit. Prue winced and then flushed the toilet. She grabbed a blue cup on the counter, filled it with water, and then took a sip of the water. She swished the water around in her mouth and then quickly spit out the nasty tasting water. Prue put down the cup. "Please don't let me be pregnant." Prue whispered, to herself.
Phoebe took the last drink of her orange juice and then stood up from the table. "That was great, Grams!" Phoebe complimented and then began to walk away from the table. "Your dishes!" Penny said, without turning around to look at Phoebe. "Oh yeah..." Phoebe mumbled and then grabbed her empty dishes and placed them in the sink. "Thank you." Penny said. Phoebe grabbed her green and yellow backpack and then ran to the front door. "Bye Grams, bye Prue!" Phoebe called, then she ran outside to wait for the bus. Penny looked at the clock, it was now 8:15 A.M.
Paige stared out the window waiting for the bus. "When does the bus come?" Paige asked, for the 6th time. "For about the sixth time Paige, at about eight-thirty." Sister Agnus replied. "Oh...." Paige said. Paige continued to stare out the window. The sun was out, but things weren't extremely bright yet. "What time is it now?" Paige asked. "Five minutes later then the last time you asked." Sister Agnus said. "What time was it last time I asked?" Paige questioned. "Paige, it's eight-twenty right now." Sister Agnus said, she was beginning her sound a little annoyed. Paige began to tap her foot. "Are you sure I have to go?" Paige asked. "Yes." Sister Agnus answered. "What if the bus doesn't come at eight-thirty?" Paige asked. "No need to worry about that, it will come." Sister Agnus said. "But what if, it doesn't? Do I still have to go?" Paige asked. "Yes." Sister Agnus said. "How will I get there?" Paige asked. "I'll have Father Troy take you." Sister Agnus said. "But what if the bus doesn't come and Father Troy is busy?" Paige asked. Sister Agnus looked at her watch, it was now 8:25 A.M. 'Just five more minutes....' Sister Agnus thought. "Look Paige, the bus will come. If it doesn't Father Troy won't be busy. If Father Troy was busy and the bus didn't come, I would take you. Now stop asking questions and walk out to the bus stop. You have a little less than five minutes to wait." Sister Agnus said, her voice was a little louder than usual. Paige winced and then grabbed her backpack. "You didn't have to yell." Paige said. Paige walked to the door and began to walk outside. "Bye." Paige said. "Bye Paige, have fun!" Sister Agnus called back, feeling bad that she snapped at Paige. Paige walked out to the bus stop and waited for a few minutes. Then a large yellow and black school bus pulled up. The doors opened and Paige carefully stepped inside. Children filled the seat and then Paige saw an open seat next to a brown haired girl. She looked sort of familiar. Her hair was shoulder length with a slight wave to it, she had a nice tan, and her eyes were the color of brown sugar. Paige walked over to the seat. "Is the seat taken?" Paige asked. "Nope." The girl said, then she smiled. "You can sit with me if you want." The girl offered. Paige grinned and plopped down next to the girl. "Thanks." Paige said. "No prob. So, I don't think I've seen ya around before, are you new?" The girl asked. "Yeah, I have been home school my entire life. I just started public school today." Paige answered. "Hi, I'm Phoebe Halliwell. What's your name?" Phoebe asked. "I'm Paige." Paige answered. "What grade are you in?" Phoebe asked. "Fourth grade. I'm ten." Paige said. "Cool! I'm in sixth grade. I'm eleven. What teacher do you have?" Phoebe asked. "Mrs. Sone." Paige answered. "Awesome! I had her last year, she is sooooo nice!" Phoebe said. Paige smiled. "How long have you been going to this school?" Paige asked. "Since Kindergarten." Phoebe answered. Phoebe thought for a moment. "Hey, I can show ya around if you want. Just meet me at the bathrooms at the recesses and lunch. I'll show you where they are when we get to the school." Phoebe said. "That'd be so great! Thanks a lot!" Paige said. The bus stopped and Phoebe looked out the window. "Oh, we're already here! I was so busy talking to ya, that I didn't even notice." Phoebe said. Paige laughed and the girls stood up and made their way off the bus.
Prue picked her cheerleading uniform off the floor and threw it into the dirty clothes basket. Prue then walked into the bathroom and began brushing her hair until all the knots and tangles were gone. Prue then grabbed her blue and green hair tie and pulled her hair into a ponytail. Prue held her hand to her head and sighed. "I need to talk to Andy.." Prue said to herself. Then Prue walked out of the bathroom and downstairs.
Andy walked into his 2nd period class and sat down. Minutes later the bell rang and Andy looked at the empty seat in front of him. He hadn't seen Prue before school and now she wasn't in 2nd period. 'Damn! Penny probably kept her home! She probably knew we were together!' Andy thought. Andy looked at the clock, it read 9:35 A.M. 'She is never late...I just know Penny wouldn't let her come to school!' Andy thought.
Prue opened the car door and sat down in the front seat. "If only you wouldn't have stayed with that boy, this wouldn't be happening." Penny scolded, as she pulled out of the driveway. "His name is Andy, andthis wouldn't be happening if you weren't so paranoid." Prue retorted. "How dare you!" Penny snapped. Prue just rolled her eyes. "You're just over protective!" Prue continued. "For good reason! I don't want anything to happen to the future Ch..." Penny's voice trailed off. "What?" Prue asked. "I don't want anything to happen to future. You are your sisters are the future." Penny covered. Prue ignored Penny and then turned to stare out the window of the car. Penny continued to drive. "Prue, don't you understand that getting pregnant can change everything?!" Penny asked. Prue refused to answer. "Well, it can. And you especially. You aren't like other people. In more ways than one!" Penny said. Prue just rolled her eyes. 'Wow, I'm not like most other people! Woopie! Everyone is different, so what does Grams think she is talking about?' Prue thought. After about a 15 minute drive, Penny parked the car in the hospital parking lot. Penny and Prue got out of the car and made their way inside. Prue found a chair in the corner of the room away from everyone else and sat down. Penny walked up to the front desk. "How may I help you?" The woman at the front desk, asked. "I'm here to sign in Prudence Halliwell." Penny replied. "Okay, and you would be?" The woman asked. "Penny Halliwell, her grandmother." Penny replied. "Okay, thank you. The doctor should be out to see you any time." The woman said. Penny walked over to a little sofa in the room and sat down. Penny gazed up at the clock on the wall, 9:55 A.M. Minutes passed and soon a woman in a white lab coat walked out. "Prudence Halliwell?" The woman called. Penny and Prue stood up and walked into the back room. "So, who is who?" The woman asked. The woman had long, bright red, wavy hair. Her eyes were light green and she had pale skin. "I'm Penny Halliwell. This is my granddaughter, Prudence." Penny answered. "Prue." Prue mumbled. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Prue. I'm Doctor Anita Robinson." Dr. Robinson said. Penny smiled and held out her hand. "It's nice to meet you." Penny said. Dr. Robinson shook Penny's hand. Then lead Penny and Prue to room 44. Dr. Robinson looked down at her clipboard. "Ahh, okay, I'll be right back." Dr. Robinson said, then she left the room and shut the door behind her.
Paige stood waiting at the bathrooms for Phoebe. Minutes later Phoebe came running up. "Hey Paige!" Phoebe yelled. Paige looked up and smiled. "Hey Phoebe!" Paige said, as she ran to her new friend. "So, I pretty much showed you the entire playground last recess...Wanna go sit under the tree?" Phoebe asked. Paige shrugged. "Sure." Paige said, then followed Phoebe to a patch of trees and the two girls sat down. "So, d'ya have any sisters or brothers?" Paige asked. "Yeah, two. I'm the youngest." Phoebe replied. "That's cool..." Paige replied, a bit of sadness in her voice. "Why didn't your mom and dad have any more kids?" Phoebe asked. "I..my mom and dad gave me up to a church after I was born." Paige said. Phoebe looked away. "I'm sorry. My mom died when I was like two. My dad not too long after that." Phoebe said. "Sorry." Paige said. "It's okay. I live with my Grams and sisters. It's okay I guess." Phoebe said. Paige shrugged. "At least you know your family." Paige said. "Yeah...Hey! Maybe you could come over and meet them!" Phoebe suggested. "I dunno..Maybe if Sister Agnus says okay to it." Paige said. "Do you know her phone number?" Phoebe asked. "Umm, yeah, I think it's in my backpack." Paige replied. "Cool. There is a pay phone here and I have a dollar in quarters. We could call them and ask!" Phoebe said. "Really?" Paige asked. "Yeah! It's just over...." Phoebe's began, but she was cut off by the bell ringing. "Shoot! Hey, maybe next recess!" Phoebe said. "Okay, meet ya back here?" Paige called. "Yeah!" Phoebe yelled back, then the two girls ran off to their classes.
Dr. Robinson opened the door. She had been in and out of the room quite a few times. It was now 10:35 A.M. "Prue, I have your test results.." Dr. Robinson said. She made eye contact with Prue. "Prue, the tests came back positive. You are, in fact, pregnant." Dr. Robinson said. TO BE CONTINUED....

Chapter 2: A Day Of Firsts
'Think fast, Penny! A...spell!' Penny thought. "I wish I may, I wish I might, have my granddaughter Prudence, sleep at my sight!" Penny recited. Penny stared at Prue. "Prue, open your eyes!" Penny yelled. Prue held her head and opened her eyes. The huge, orange-red flames were growing. "Look at me!" Penny called. Prue looked over to Penny and locked eyes with her, instantly Prue slid to the ground, in a deep sleep. Penny ran to the kitchen and filled the pan with more cold water. Penny then ran back to the stairs and waved her hand, telekinetically throwing the water over the fire. After a few more pans of water the fire was gone and a huge scorch mark lay on the stairs. Penny rushed up the stairs to Prue and held her granddaughter's hand. "Oh Prue, I think I may know what has happened. This never should've happened though. It's too soon, for all of you!" Penny whispered. Suddenly the alarm on Piper's alarm clock went off. 'It must be six-thirty.' Penny thought. Penny heard the alarm clock stop and then some noise in Piper's room. Penny carefully lifted Prue's sleeping form up and slowly got Prue to her room. Penny laid Prue on her bed and then waved her hand, telekinetically moving a blanket over Prue.

A girl with long, dark hair sat huddled in a chair. "Please, please, please! Don't make me go! Please!" The girl pleaded. Her skin was very pale and her eyes were the color of chocolate. "No Paige, I'm sorry. I can't home school you anymore. I have way too much work to do now." A taller woman, with brown hair spoke. "But just until the end of the year, Sister Agnus. I promise I will go next year!" Paige begged. "No Paige, I'm sorry. Now, go make some tea for yourself....You've got a little less than two hours before the bus comes." Sister Agnus replied. Paige sniffed and got up off the chair. "Thanks a lot!" Paige yelled, in a sarcastic tone. Then Paige ran out of the room.

Prue asked. "A doctor's appointment." Penny replied. Prue clenched her fist. "Why?" Prue asked. "Because, I need to make sure you aren't pregnant." Penny said. "What?! How could you think that?!"

Phoebe grabbed her green and yellow backpack and then ran to the front door. "Bye Grams, bye Prue!" Phoebe called, then she ran outside to wait for the bus. Penny looked at the clock, it was now 8:15 A.M.
Paige stared out the window waiting for the bus. "When does the bus come?" Paige asked, for the 6th time. "For about the sixth time Paige, at about eight-thirty." Sister Agnus replied. "Oh...." Paige said. Paige continued to stare out the window. The sun was out, but things weren't extremely bright yet. "What time is it now?" Paige asked. "Five minutes later then the last time you asked." Sister Agnus said. "What time was it last time I asked?" Paige questioned. "Paige, it's eight-twenty right now." Sister Agnus said, she was beginning her sound a little annoyed. Paige began to tap her foot. "Are you sure I have to go?" Paige asked. "Yes." Sister Agnus answered. "What if the bus doesn't come at eight-thirty?" Paige asked. "No need to worry about that, it will come." Sister Agnus said. "But what if, it doesn't? Do I still have to go?" Paige asked. "Yes." Sister Agnus said. "How will I get there?" Paige asked. "I'll have Father Troy take you." Sister Agnus said. "But what if the bus doesn't come and Father Troy is busy?" Paige asked. Sister Agnus looked at her watch, it was now 8:25 A.M. 'Just five more minutes....' Sister Agnus thought. "Look Paige, the bus will come. If it doesn't Father Troy won't be busy. If Father Troy was busy and the bus didn't come, I would take you. Now stop asking questions and walk out to the bus stop. You have a little less than five minutes to wait." Sister Agnus said, her voice was a little louder than usual. Paige winced and then grabbed her backpack. "You didn't have to yell." Paige said. Paige walked to the door and began to walk outside. "Bye." Paige said. "Bye Paige, have fun!" Sister Agnus called back, feeling bad that she snapped at Paige. Paige walked out to the bus stop and waited for a few minutes. Then a large yellow and black school bus pulled up. The doors opened and Paige carefully stepped inside. Children filled the seat and then Paige saw an open seat next to a brown haired girl. She looked sort of familiar. Her hair was shoulder length with a slight wave to it, she had a nice tan, and her eyes were the color of brown sugar. Paige walked over to the seat. "Is the seat taken?" Paige asked. "Nope." The girl said, then she smiled. "You can sit with me if you want." The girl offered. Paige grinned and plopped down next to the girl. "Thanks." Paige said. "No prob. So, I don't think I've seen ya around before, are you new?" The girl asked. "Yeah, I have been home school my entire life. I just started public school today." Paige answered. "Hi, I'm Phoebe Halliwell. What's your name?" Phoebe asked. "I'm Paige." Paige answered. "What grade are you in?" Phoebe asked. "Fourth grade. I'm ten." Paige said. "Cool! I'm in sixth grade. I'm eleven. What teacher do you have?" Phoebe asked. "Mrs. Sone." Paige answered. "Awesome! I had her last year, she is sooooo nice!" Phoebe said. Paige smiled. "How long have you been going to this school?" Paige asked. "Since Kindergarten." Phoebe answered. Phoebe thought for a moment. "Hey, I can show ya around if you want. Just meet me at the bathrooms at the recesses and lunch. I'll show you where they are when we get to the school." Phoebe said. "That'd be so great! Thanks a lot!" Paige said. The bus stopped and Phoebe looked out the window. "Oh, we're already here! I was so busy talking to ya, that I didn't even notice." Phoebe said. Paige laughed and the girls stood up and made their way off the bus.
Prue picked her cheerleading uniform off the floor and threw it into the dirty clothes basket. Prue then walked into the bathroom and began brushing her hair until all the knots and tangles were gone. Prue then grabbed her blue and green hair tie and pulled her hair into a ponytail. Prue held her hand to her head and sighed. "I need to talk to Andy.." Prue said to herself. Then Prue walked out of the bathroom and downstairs.
Andy walked into his 2nd period class and sat down. Minutes later the bell rang and Andy looked at the empty seat in front of him. He hadn't seen Prue before school and now she wasn't in 2nd period. 'Damn! Penny probably kept her home! She probably knew we were together!' Andy thought. Andy looked at the clock, it read 9:35 A.M. 'She is never late...I just know Penny wouldn't let her come to school!' Andy thought.
Prue opened the car door and sat down in the front seat. "If only you wouldn't have stayed with that boy, this wouldn't be happening." Penny scolded, as she pulled out of the driveway. "His name is Andy, andthis wouldn't be happening if you weren't so paranoid." Prue retorted. "How dare you!" Penny snapped. Prue just rolled her eyes. "You're just over protective!" Prue continued. "For good reason! I don't want anything to happen to the future Ch..." Penny's voice trailed off. "What?" Prue asked. "I don't want anything to happen to future. You are your sisters are the future." Penny covered. Prue ignored Penny and then turned to stare out the window of the car. Penny continued to drive. "Prue, don't you understand that getting pregnant can change everything?!" Penny asked. Prue refused to answer. "Well, it can. And you especially. You aren't like other people. In more ways than one!" Penny said. Prue just rolled her eyes. 'Wow, I'm not like most other people! Woopie! Everyone is different, so what does Grams think she is talking about?' Prue thought. After about a 15 minute drive, Penny parked the car in the hospital parking lot. Penny and Prue got out of the car and made their way inside. Prue found a chair in the corner of the room away from everyone else and sat down. Penny walked up to the front desk. "How may I help you?" The woman at the front desk, asked. "I'm here to sign in Prudence Halliwell." Penny replied. "Okay, and you would be?" The woman asked. "Penny Halliwell, her grandmother." Penny replied. "Okay, thank you. The doctor should be out to see you any time." The woman said. Penny walked over to a little sofa in the room and sat down. Penny gazed up at the clock on the wall, 9:55 A.M. Minutes passed and soon a woman in a white lab coat walked out. "Prudence Halliwell?" The woman called. Penny and Prue stood up and walked into the back room. "So, who is who?" The woman asked. The woman had long, bright red, wavy hair. Her eyes were light green and she had pale skin. "I'm Penny Halliwell. This is my granddaughter, Prudence." Penny answered. "Prue." Prue mumbled. "Well, it's nice to meet you, Prue. I'm Doctor Anita Robinson." Dr. Robinson said. Penny smiled and held out her hand. "It's nice to meet you." Penny said. Dr. Robinson shook Penny's hand. Then lead Penny and Prue to room 44. Dr. Robinson looked down at her clipboard. "Ahh, okay, I'll be right back." Dr. Robinson said, then she left the room and shut the door behind her.
Paige stood waiting at the bathrooms for Phoebe. Minutes later Phoebe came running up. "Hey Paige!" Phoebe yelled. Paige looked up and smiled. "Hey Phoebe!" Paige said, as she ran to her new friend. "So, I pretty much showed you the entire playground last recess...Wanna go sit under the tree?" Phoebe asked. Paige shrugged. "Sure." Paige said, then followed Phoebe to a patch of trees and the two girls sat down. "So, d'ya have any sisters or brothers?" Paige asked. "Yeah, two. I'm the youngest." Phoebe replied. "That's cool..." Paige replied, a bit of sadness in her voice. "Why didn't your mom and dad have any more kids?" Phoebe asked. "I..my mom and dad gave me up to a church after I was born." Paige said. Phoebe looked away. "I'm sorry. My mom died when I was like two. My dad not too long after that." Phoebe said. "Sorry." Paige said. "It's okay. I live with my Grams and sisters. It's okay I guess." Phoebe said. Paige shrugged. "At least you know your family." Paige said. "Yeah...Hey! Maybe you could come over and meet them!" Phoebe suggested. "I dunno..Maybe if Sister Agnus says okay to it." Paige said. "Do you know her phone number?" Phoebe asked. "Umm, yeah, I think it's in my backpack." Paige replied. "Cool. There is a pay phone here and I have a dollar in quarters. We could call them and ask!" Phoebe said. "Really?" Paige asked. "Yeah! It's just over...." Phoebe's began, but she was cut off by the bell ringing. "Shoot! Hey, maybe next recess!" Phoebe said. "Okay, meet ya back here?" Paige called. "Yeah!" Phoebe yelled back, then the two girls ran off to their classes.
Dr. Robinson opened the door. She had been in and out of the room quite a few times. It was now 10:35 A.M. "Prue, I have your test results.." Dr. Robinson said. She made eye contact with Prue. "Prue, the tests came back positive. You are, in fact, pregnant." Dr. Robinson said. TO BE CONTINUED....
