A/N: Heya, people! Thanks for the reviews. First, let me thank you for those reviews:

Dark-Black-Shadow-Cat, Not a problem. I hate logging in too, sometimes. I know! I admit, it was pretty boring in the beginning because I had to start out fairly basic. But if you think last chapter was interesting, just wait! It gets better.

Vintagegirl, - Shrugs. – I don't know . . . Hm, that's a lie. Lol. I do know, but you'll just have to wait and find out. And yeah, poor Piper.

Nubia, Glad you like it. And guess what? I don't have to type fast. Wanna now why? I've already written the entire fanfic – all 25 chapters. I just need to post it, chapter by chapter. And sometimes, I post as many as 3 chapters in one day ; And I'm starting on part 2 of this Trilogy. Hehe.

Thanks again for the reviews, guys! Hope you enjoy this chapter!! Oh, and I want to let everyone know beforehand: There isn't much magic in this fic. As I read over it and post, I might add some more. But for the most part, there isn't much. I'll try to add more. Okay, on with the fic. Enjoy!

Payton paced her room, her nervous flying around inside her in utter chaos. How could this have happened? How could she be pregnant? Well, okay, she knew how. But she couldn't believe it. She knew she should tell her parents, her aunts, her cousins. And, especially, Rick. But she couldn't. She had to know where she stood in all of this first. Starting with whether or not she was ready for a child. No, correction: First, she had to make sure she was really pregnant and that stupid five-dollar test hadn't made a mistake.

Payton moved to her bed and sat down. She picked up the black phone on her nightstand and, heart pounding, dialed her doctor's office.

"Dr. Sheera's office. Can I help you?" said a female voice.

"H-hi," Payton began. She cleared her throat. "This is Payton Halliwell. I'd like to make an appointment to see Dr. Sheera as soon as possible."

Payton could her clicking and tapping in the background.

"You aren't scheduled for an appointment for another month, Miss Halliwell," the receptionist informed her kindly.

"I know. But something's come up and I really need to see her. Can she squeeze me in today or tomorrow? Please, it's an emergency," Payton begged.

Some more tapping and clicking.

"Dr. Sheera has a three-o-clock this afternoon if you can make that," the receptionist replied.

"Pencil me in," Payton said, sighing. "Thank you." And she hung up. Her eyes fell upon the digital clock. It was only one. She had another two hours to go and she wasn't sure if she could last until then. More so, even, she wasn't sure if she could hide it from her family much longer, especially if she threw up again.

"What are we going to do? Something is definitely wrong with her but she won't tell us what!" Piper said frantically, pacing the living room.

"Piper, don't worry," Phoebe said gently in hopes of calming her sister. "If something were seriously wrong, Payton would tell us. She's an intelligent young girl and she knows right from wrong."

Piper gritted her teeth, fighting back a retort. "I know. But it still worries me. I hate not knowing when something's wrong with her."

"Do you want one of us to talk to her?" Paige offered. "She might feel more comfortable opening up."

"I-" Piper sighed. "Thanks, Paige. I'd appreciate that. But don't try yet. Let her cool off first and relax. Talk to her after dinner, okay?"

Paige nodded, smiling. "So, should we get lunch started?"

"It's a little late for lunch," Leo commented. He glanced skyward. "I need to go. Call me if anything comes up." He orbed out.

Piper sighed. "Leo's right. It is a little late for lunch. Why don't we all just grab something small?"

Time seemed to have flown by. It was Two Thirty and Payton had to leave for her appointment. She didn't want anyone to know she was going, so she attempted to sneak out, tip toeing down the steps to the first floor and making a tiptoe dash to the front door.

"Hey, where ya goin'?"

Payton cringed and turned around to see her mom standing behind her, arms crossed.

"Uhm, just out. I'll be back later, okay?" she replied, trying to smile cheerfully.

"Payton I'm worried about you. You say you're fine but-"Piper frowned. "You'd tell me if something was wrong, right?"

"Of course I would," Payton replied, smiling more. "Don't worry mom. I'm fine."

Piper nodded, though not fully convinced. "Okay. Have fun."

"Bye." Payton crossed to the door and left the house, feeling guilty for lying to her mom. She got into her car, pulled out of the driveway, and headed for her appointment, tears in her eyes and butterflies in her stomach; she hoped butterflies were the only things in her stomach, at least.

A/N: I don't know how doctors do pregnancy tests or how long the results take, so bear with me, please!

Payton had arrived just on time for her appointment and was now waiting in one of the exam rooms for her doctor. Her heart was pounding hard against her ribs and began to pound even harder when the door opened and the doctor came in, shutting the door behind her.

"Hi, Payton," Dr. Sheera said, smiling. "Your appointment wasn't for another month or so. So what can I do for you today?"

Payton licked her lips, her whole body shaking she was so nervous. "I, uhm, I haven't been feeling well lately. I threw up a few times and . . . well, I have a boyfriend. So I went to the pharmacy and bought one of those tests and . . . it was positive. But I want a real test, just to be sure." She said this in one big breath, barely taking a breath between words.

Dr. Sheera frowned, but nodded. "No problem. Let's do the test and while we wait for the results, we can talk, okay?"

Payton nodded.

Ten minutes later, Payton and Dr. Sheera had completed the test and were awaiting the results.

"Have you decided what you'll do if you are pregnant?' Dr. Sheera asked gently.

"Keep the baby, of course. I-"Payton paused. She had been about to mention the Charmed Legacy. She bit her lip. "I'd keep the baby."

Dr. Sheera nodded. "Does your boyfriend or family know about this?"

"No," Payton mumbled, shaking her head. "I didn't want to worry them. I didn't want to say anything unless I knew for sure that I'm pregnant."

"That makes sense." Dr. Sheera turned her attention to the test, which was finished. She glanced at it for a second, then turned to look at Payton.

"W-well?" Payton asked, heart pounding like crazy.

Dr. Sheera frowned slightly. "It's positive."
