Chapter 5
The Test
"Did you have a good day at school girls?" Grams asked when they were all seated round the table for dinner
"Yeah," Paige murmured while her mouth was full
"Ew Paige that's disgusting," Piper remarked
Grams ignored Paige and turned to Piper "What about you Piper?"
"Actually I got an A on my geography report," Piper said happily
"What a surprise," Phoebe muttered sarcastically
"What was that Phoebe?" Grams asked
"I just said well done Piper," Phoebe replied smiling falsely
Piper glared at her knowing full well that was definitely was not what she had said
"Grams, Glen is coming round about sixish," Paige said
"Glen?" Grams asked surprised
"Yeah I got paired with him for a stupid project, it totally sucks," Paige complained
"Oh, now dear Glen is a lovely boy, much nicer than those other friends you have," Grams said
Paige rolled her eyes. Grams was never going to get over that one time her friends were over.
"All they did was break her favourite vase, cover the kitchen in flour and rip my curtains all by accident of course, " Paige thought
"Prue you've been awful quiet during dinner and you've hardly touched your food," Grams commented
"I'm not really hungry," Prue lied
Truth was she was sick with worry about the hidden test upstairs
She couldn't sit another minute without knowing the truth
"Can I be excused?" Prue asked but didn't bother waiting for an answer before leaving the kitchen
The doorbell rang
"That will be Glen, I'd better get it," Paige said getting up reluctantly
The phone started to ring.
"I'll get it," Piper said reaching out for the cordless phone "Phoebe it's for you,"
Phoebe snatched the phone from her and left the kitchen
"Well I got to go and do homework," Piper told Grams before leaving aswell.
"That's okay I'll tidy the kitchen all by myself," Grams said sarcastically
"Hi," Glen said once Paige opened the door
"Let's go up to my room and find stuff on the internet," she said ignoring him and going up the stairs
"This is going to be a long night," Glen thought following Paige up the stairs
"Hello," Phoebe said
"Hey," the voice on the other side of the phone said
"Cole?" Phoebe asked
"Yeah I got your number of TJ that alright?" he asked
"Yeah that's cool," she replied trying to hide her delight
"So I take it you didn't get caught," Cole said
"No it was close though," Phoebe said
"Sorry," Cole apologised
"What for?" Phoebe asked
"Nearly getting you in trouble," Cole replied
"It's okay it wasn't just you," Phoebe said
"Still, anyway I just wanted to check your were okay," Cole said kindly
"That was sweet of you," Phoebe said
"Well I'd better go bye Phoebe," he said
"Bye Cole thanks for calling," Phoebe said as she hung up the phone
"He's so sweet to call and check if I was okay," she thought
Piper sat at her desk doing her maths homework when she glanced up at herself in the mirror
"I wish I was as pretty as my sisters," she thought
"You could be" a voice in the back of her head said
She went over to her mirror and let her hair down
It was long and poker straight, no style to it at all.
She brushed and fiddled around with it for a bit
Next she took her glasses off and brought out a box in her drawer which were contact lenses Grams had given to her a while ago but she wouldn't wear them because they were itching but now she didn't care if they were itchy or not
She found a make up set near the back of her drawer that Prue had given her for her birthday one year. She applied a little on not too much like Phoebe usually wore.
She found a denim skirt at the back of her wardrobe that she had worn once when Grams had dragged them all along to her friend's party. It wasn't too short
Then she crept downstairs to the basket of washing and found one of Prue's tops that she hardly ever wore anymore
She went back up to her room and looked into the mirror but she found herself looking at a completely different person
There was no longer the shy, awkward, ugly, geeky girl but the new and improved Piper Halliwell
"Okay print those pictures," Paige said in a bored voice
Glen clicked print and leaned back elbowing his glass of juice all over him
"My new shirt," he moaned
Paige was on the bed in hysterics
"It's not funny," Glen said annoyed
"Yeah it is," Paige said still laughing but then she stopped "Oh stop moaning," she grabbed a tissue from the box on her chest of drawers and dabbed at his shirt with it "See it'll dry right up and won't even stain."
Glen started laughing
"See I told you it was funny," Paige said giggling again
"No it's not that I was just thinking about this," he said tipping the rest of his juice on her
"Hey," she shouted
It was Glen's turn to laugh. He fell onto the bed in hysterics
"Now that was funny," he laughed
Paige looked like she was going to freak at him but instead her face broke out into a grin "I guess it was kind of funny," she admitted
They both giggled for a minute lying on the bed
"I miss this," Glen said sitting up
"What being covered in juice," Paige asked also sitting up
"No us laughing together," Glen said
"Oh," Paige said, "I suppose I do to,"
"There was silence for a moment then slowly Glen leaned in towards Paige and she found herself leaning in too
They were so close their lips were almost touching
"Hey you two I brought some snacks," Grams said entering the room
Paige and Glen sprang apart
"Thanks Miss Halliwell but I better be going," Glen said leaving the room without looking at Paige
"Was it something I said?" Grams asked
"Oh my God I just about kissed Glen," Paige thought "If Grams hadn't walked in…
"Okay you can do this," Prue thought to herself "Just take the test it's no big deal it'll just tell me whether my life is over or not, oh who am I kidding I can't do it, no yes I can, I have to"
She slowly opened the box
Minutes later she was sat at the end of the toilet seat nervously waiting for the results
"Oh my God I have never been so scared in all my life, what if I am pregnant, what will I do, what will Andy say, what will Grams say, the whole school will call me a slut and… stop it Prue think positive. Positive. Please don't let it be
She glanced at her watch, 10 seconds to go until she knew whether Gram's would disown her or not
7 seconds before she knew if her life was over or not
4 seconds before she knew if she was going to have a baby or not
1 second before she knew the truth
"Okay this is it just look at the test,"
She slowly picked it up and she felt her legs give away and she fell onto the floor.
It was positive
She was pregnant
She was going to have a baby
Tears filled in her eyes and rolled down her face
"What am I going to do?"
"Is anyone in there," Phoebe shouted
Prue quickly wiped her eyes and wrapped the test in tissue and threw it in the bin
She unlocked the door and ran to her bedroom before Phoebe could tell she was crying
She climbed into her bed and cried herself to sleep
