Seeing Prue's car reversing out of the drive way, Piper let out a big sigh... She wanted to support her sister she really did. But, somethig was holding her back and she wasn' yet prepared to face that.
Hearing the gentle sound of rapping knuckles on her door she broke out her thoughts but still keeping forcussed on the now empty drive way, she softly told Pheobe to enter.
As Pheobe entered she just stood there leaning on the door frame with her arms folded."Would you like to explian to me what happened down there? You should see how much you hurt Prue. I thought out of the two of us you would the first one to stand by her. But, you walked away from her. Why? She needs us"
"I have my reasons." Piper simply said, her eyes still forcussed out of the window but settling on a different view, the sky and how calm and peaceful it looked. "What reasons are that good to blank Prue out, when she needs our support?" Phoebe nearly shouted at her, Piper turned around her face harden she didn't, shouldn't; need to explain herself to anyone about the way she had acted especially her little sister.
"Like I said I HAVE my reasons." Signalling the end of the converstion she began to storm out of her room and purposly bumping Pheobe out of her way, but Pheobe reached out to grab her sister's arm, resulting into a unexpected premonition.
'...Piper in the bathroom, looking at a pregrancy test, seeing the results and her face fall... Entering in her bedroom where Leo was waiting for her, his eyes meeting hers eagerly, in hope...the thought of fatherhood...dashed as soon as Piper shook her head...He instantly pulled her towards him, at first she fought him but he tighten his grip and said something to her which had a slight calming effect but not the kind that can fill the void in her heart... The need and love for a baby...Their baby.'
Snapping out of it and releasing her sister's arm, she looked into her sister eyes and with new understanding about Piper's atitude towards their big sister. "Oh...Piper why didn't you tell us?"
Piper looked at her confusion clearly showing on her face."Tell you what? What did you see?"
"Your face when you found out it wasn't the result that you wanted."
The confustion on Piper's still remained a few seconds, when suddenly realistion hit her. Her secert was revealed, her eyes grew wide her face was first shock then the shock turned into anger. "You had no right, no right at all"
"I'm sorry Pipe, it's not like I can help it,is it? Why didn'tyou tell us"
"What? And,have Prue patronising me? Espeacally now that she getting the son that she abandon back"
"Piper, people have their reasons for what they do and it's like what she said. It wasn't a one night stand or playing russian roulette. She was just unluckly but you should have seen her face light up when she talks about him. The time is right for her..." After a moment hesintatinon Pheobe finished off with. "Are you going to tell her"
"No, Not yet and perharps never"
"Pipe"
"No, don't Pipe me, Phoebe I know you are the worst secert keeper, but please keep this for me. She really doesn't need to know"
"Okay for you... I will... Buut..." Piper sighed she knew that there was a 'but' coming... "But what?" She asked, like if she didn't already know.
"You have to be at least be there for Prue. Like she would have been there for you, if she knew about you secert"
Biting on her bottom lip and being deep and fighting her congious she took another deep sigh and just gave a little nod. "I'll try"
"That's all I ask..." Seeing a lone tear run the her cheek, Phoebe open her arms and hugged Piper as she began to cry of her secert heartbreak and in a way felt a bit reliefed now that Pheobe knows. "How long?" Pheobe asked.
"A few months, I know there are options out there, but I really don't what to go through all that, I want a baby that was made from love"
"I know"
"Why is that it's the girls that are reckless can have the babies popping out of them. But, when we want one that is actually planned, we can't have it." Phoebe lifted her sister's head up and both pairs of brown eyes meet each other one that held sadness of how cruel sometimes nature can be the other held all tthe love and hope that one day it will be acheived. "I know it seems that way at the moment, but don't give up hope just yet, your day will come just you wait and see"
Smiling back at her baby sister, Piper gave a little kiss on her cheek. "Thanks and in a way I'm glad you know, if I'm feeling down I know who to turn to"
"Anytime, you know that"
"Yeah, I do..." They both stood there in silence until cuirosity got the better of Piper. "So? Did Prue have a picture of our nephew"
"Yep"
"What is he like"
"Gorgeous, absoueltly gorgeous."
A/N Thank you all for your reviews, Now to answer some questions ... The reason why Prue mentioned that little Marc is powerless is because there was something mention along those lines in the first series of Charmed so I thought I put that in to see how she/they will cope but if the demand is high for Marcy to have powers then I think I can come up with something.
On a more personal note CC when are you going to update your earthquake story? Hmmm...
