This story takes place before Piper knows she is pregnant with Chris.
Chapter 1: An Odd Sensation
Chris orbed into the attic in search of Piper, but only found Phoebe and Paige cleaning out some of the old trunks. "Have you guys seen Piper?"
"I think she went to the club," Phoebe told him.
"At nine in the morning?"
"Maybe she wanted to get a head start. Who knows?" Paige continued to dig through one of the trunks.
"Have you guys noticed Piper acting...differently lately?"
"Maybe the fact she recently discovered she is pregnant with you has something to do with it. Oh, wait. I forgot you haven't told her yet." Phoebe stared hard at Chris.
Chris let out an exasperated sigh. When was Phoebe going to let this go? He wanted Piper to discover she was pregnant on her own. Then he would tell her he was her son. There were just some things Piper was meant to find out on her own. "Phoebe, how would I tell her? 'How are you doing? That's great. By the way, you're pregnant and I'm your son.' I don't think that would go over too well."
"Chris," Paige scolded, "you have to tell her sooner or later. Preferably sooner."
"Can we change the subject now? Have you guys noticed Piper acting differently lately?"
"She's been kind of distracted lately. That may have something to do with being with Leo again and having him leave." Paige finally finished digging through the trunk and looked at Chris. "Why don't you go talk to her about it? You are he son, after all."
"Since you guys aren't going to help, I guess I'll find Piper on my own." He orbed out, leaving Phoebe and Paige alone to their cleaning,
Phoebe set down an old shirt and looked at Paige. "Do you think he has a point? Piper has been different lately."
Paige looked at her older sister. "Phoebe, the man she loves, the father of her son, I mean sons, left her, only to come back and leave again. She has every right to be acting differently.
Phoebe stared thoughtfully into space for a moment. "I guess you're right." She went back to cleaning out the trunk. She felt a nagging sensation, but dismissed it as unnecessary worry. She was naturally protective of her sisters, but sometimes she needed to take a step back and let them handle their own problems. If something was troubling Piper, she would come and tell them about it. Phoebe, confident with that last thought, turned back to the task at hand.
She ignored the odd sensation she felt, unaware Piper was in danger, real danger, a danger that could cost Piper and her unborn child's lives.
Author note:
A little anticlimactic, I know. But it gets better I promise.
