Chapter 4

And the Phone Rings...

On Tuesday morning, Pheobe went to school like normal, and Piper aimlessly walked around, talking to her sister, who had the day off at Buckland's.

"So, Prue, are you coming by the club tonight? I hear that Jack is coming to see you," Piper asked. Jack was Prue's assistant who had an obvious crush on Prue since he started there.

"I don't know. Depends on if someone cuter calls," Prue joked. Prue had a small crush on him, but no intentions of letting it show. Her boss would kill both of them if anything happened.

"Awww, but Jack just LOVES you," Piper teased. She thought it was the most adorable thing how Jack was always all over Prue.

Just then, the phone rang. Prue waved her finger at Piper and said, "he does NOT love me, Piper." She ran down the stairs to get the phone so Piper couldn't respond.

"Hello?" Prue said into the phone.

"This is Dr. Williamson at Memorial Hospital. I need to speak to Ms. Prue Halliwell, please,"

"Hi, Dr. Williamson, this is Prue," Prue responded. She was somewhat nervous as Piper walked down the stairs, just in time to hear her say "Dr. Williamson".

"Dr. Williamson? Why?" Piper asked. Prue waved her hand at her.

"We need to see you at the office immediatley, Ms. Halliwell. Preferably today," He said. His voice was calm. He knew something Prue didn't.

"Is something wrong, Doctor?" Prue asked attentively.

"We cannot tell you until you come in. Please try to have someone come with you," He said.

"Okay, does that mean somethings wrong?" Prue asked.

"No, Ms. Halliwell. Will today around 5 work?"

"Yes, I'll see you then," Prue said. She hung up the phone and let out a long sigh.

"Prue, what's the matter?" Piper asked.

"He just wants to see me. Just a follow up. He says you and Pheobe should come, too,"

"Okay...what's going on? Why? You aren't sick, you don't need a doctor. Right?" Piper asked, hoping for a confirmation of her statement. Prue looked at her sadly.

"He said he couldn't tell me if anything was wrong until we got there, so I don't know, Piper, I don't," Prue answered.

Pheobe walked in beaming. She had aced her final, and she couldn't wait to tell her sisters. Once she saw both of their solemn faces, she was concerned. Especially with the scare of the last day.

"What's going on guys?" Pheobe asked.

"The doctor called for Prue. She's going in later today, and you and I are going, too," Piper insisted.

"What happened? Is something wrong?" Pheobe asked.

"We don't know. He wouldn't tell until we go in," Prue explained.

"Oh my gosh...well, what are we waiting for?" Pheobe asked. She was certian it was just a follow up...and she wanted it to be nothing more. None of them did.

"He said 5, Pheebs, it's only 3:30," Prue said.

"Oh," Pheobe sat down in a chair. She had a gut feeling that something wasn't right.

The three of them waited out the time until they could leave. In the mean time, they discussed what it could be about. Piper thought it was just a follow up on what they had done last time, sort of a way of double checking. Prue thought it was just some sort of way to tell her that she is at risk for cancer. Pheobe, on the other hand, didn't voice her opinion, cause she was thinking the worst.
