Not Again
Paige felt a rising panic threaten to control her so she swallowed it down she stared
"She couldn't be not now not again!" she began to feel sick how would she tell everyone? How would they react? She was in tears now suddenly Phoebe flounced sleepily into the bathroom
"Morning hunnie" she caught sight of her sister's sobbing face and stopped blinking "Paige sweetie what's the matter?" she asked she bent next to her wrapping her sister into a hug and holding her head Paige shook free and faced her sister
"Phoebe I'm Pregnant" she told her Phoebe held her breath she wasn't sure if this was a good thing if the pain of losing future Poppy was to fresh Paige would expect her to be sympathetic but if she was thrilled and Phoebe acted as if it was a bad thing Paige would be upset she slowly allowed her breath to seep out
"Does Kyle know?" she asked opting for the safer option
Paige shook her head suddenly she heard scuffling and yawning from Kyle and her bedroom
"Go quick I don't want him to think I'm not happy or that I told you before him"
"Are you happy?" Phoebe asked Paige shrugged
"I only just found out don't tell anyone not even Piper or Leo" Phoebe nodded and scampered bumping into Kyle
"Morning gotta go had to borrow Paige's lip balm" Phoebe covered and fled Kyle hugged Paige
"You ok you look shocked have you been crying?" he asked she shook her head
"We need to talk"
"PAIGE!" Came Pipers startled voice
"Later" she orbed away Kyle shrugged oblivious to the fact his wife had just made the biggest mistake of her life
Paige orbed in and a fireball whizzed past her ear singing her hair she shuddered Piper dodged another fireball and blew up a demon about to stab Phoebe there must have been about four or Five there as well as other's that Piper was knocking off with her super speedy blowing up hands Paige orbed a demon into he wall hard it splattered leaving a ooze of yellow green blood she cringed Piper would kill her another Demon dived on her from behind if he didn't! She told herself fighting to throw the demon off her it fought back just as hard suddenly it sunk it's inch long teeth into her shoulder she screamed making Piper turn o face her she blew up the demon's hand but it reformed letting Paige fall it advanced towards her Paige injured and in pain crawled along all the same and grabbed a ornament of a bird throwing it it hit the demon impaling itself on his head it turned and ran at her she squeezed her eyes shut for impact but instead she felt a breeze looking up the demon was gone she heaved out a delighted sigh then slumped out cold to the floor Piper was about to rush over to her sister when the demon reappeared right behind her! Phoebe had joined them and pounced a karate chop to his head he turned unable to choose did he get the new one? Or the one with the blowing up power? Or did he finish off the injured one? He wasn't sure but his master had told him the old plan had failed when Paige believed in herself again so now he just had to attack hard and fast he swiped at Phoebe she dodged away then he sent another energy ball at Piper then finally he set another at Paige who lay bleeding to death Piper blew up the ball before it reached it's target as Leo orbed down just behind the demon he gazed around clocked Paige he gave Piper a look that said
"Don't worry" and orbed beside Paige he then orbed her away but the demon caught him telekinetically throwing him he too was out cold with two down and two to go he was getting tired in one quick decision he made his choice throwing Phoebe into Piper he swirled away then back in beside Paige and swirled back out Piper picked herself up and gazed at the spot where Paige had lay a second ago she turned
"Kyle!" he orbed down and gazed around at the heavily breathing Piper and Phoebe the out cold Leo he bent down healing Leo who opened his eyes and sat up
"Where's Paige?" he asked Piper took a deep breath
"The demon took her," she told him Kyle jumped up
"What"
"Don't worry he needs her alive to get to us he wanted to kill us all otherwise he wouldn't have kept fighting once he had Paige" she told Kyle patting his arm they began to head to the attic but Phoebe stood she could tell Paige hadn't told him should she? What is she didn't see Paige again it was possible this was the toughest demon yet there was a suspicion she had that she wouldn't get out of this alive she shook her head and ran to the attic where she was met with a worried gang
"Paige could be in more trouble than we thought" Piper told her she had a protective arm around Poppy who held the book open to the demon they'd just thought
"Why?" Phoebe asked she looked from the sobbing teenager to her surprisingly calm sister
"In the future that demon killed Paige" Poppy told her Phoebe's heart dropped she had to tell them
"I think you guys should sit down," she told them
The all did as she said Kyle wrung his hands desperately tying to understand all the information
"This morning before you shouted for the demon Paige was in the bath room she'd been crying I asked her what was the matter and."
"She said she hadn't been crying" Kyle whispered Phoebe shook her head and continued
"And then she told me something now I promised I wouldn't tell you guys but I think if I don't tell you and we don't get her back"
"Don't say that" Kyle cut it again his voice filled with sadness
"I have to there's that chance"
"It can't happen you can't let it happen she almost gave up her powers for you guys and now your just gonna sit here and talk about it when he could be killing her right now!" Kyle screamed into Phoebe's face, which was filling slowly with tears
"Paige was pregnant!" she burst out before running off out of the room and into her room locking the door on the way in she sobbed suddenly Leo orbed into her room he grabbed her hand and orbed her back to the attic which was a flurry of activity Kyle was sat head in hands on the Wicca chair on shock and Piper was rummaging through box's for scrying tools Poppy just stood there watching Kyle Phoebe wiped her eyes and knelt beside Kyle
"We'll save her and your baby ok Kyle but you have to calm down"
"The elders must have known! That's why they gave me time off" he told her straitening up he turned back to face Phoebe
"Sorry" he said sheepishly she patted his arm and smiled Piper had begun to scry
Paige's head ached she lifted it another couple of inches away from the wall she was chained too the demon paced the room softly waiting then it came the torches blew out leaving her in total darkness
"Laxer y lord I have her the youngest charmed one!" the demon told him excitedly Paige almost found it funny almost
"Alive?" he asked the demon nodded
"Very well you may stay" Laxer told him Paige groaned as the demon sat in front of her his blistering skin close to her frightened aching head she squirmed
"Not nice am I you did this!" he told her taking one hand he smashed her head into the wall causing her head to split open and bleed profusely he smiled satisfied Paige blinked trying to see clearly
"But you see the only way you can save yourself is by losing your child and if you lose her you lose future humanity so I guess you'll just have to die" he told her pausing "Now we want to cause you the most pain as killing the charmed ones is never easy look how close I came a few months ago only to be fooled by your compassion and understanding fuelling your powers but you can't use your powers now can you" he leaned in and produced a knife she squeezed her eyes shut waiting to be stabbed when she felt no piercing or pain she cracked opened and eye and there was a pink shield around her and the Laxer demon was truing and failing to get around it she grinned her head really aching now
"Don't mess with us!" came a strong voice from behind Paige turned to see them grinning lazily as she passed out still chained to the wall
