Chapter 4: Blue Line Means Baby
A/N: Thanks for the reviews. They're so nice. The little plot twist in the last chapter was kind of obvious, but I didn't know how else to say it without being to descriptive of what they were doing. Hope you enjoy this chapter.
They had been vanquishing demons left and right for the past week. They were searching for more information on the Vidaro. Darryl had told them about a total of 6 victims around San Francisco who were all killed with in the same manner. This demon was vicious. Piper and Phoebe wouldn't let Paige out of their sights. Kyle was with her all the time. That was one thing she didn't mind. But there was one thing nagging at the back of Paige's mind.
She had suspected it ever since that unforgettable, magical, night with Kyle. The whole time afterwards, she had felt sick. She was very nauseous, throwing up pretty regularly. That just brought that suspicion forwards. There was another thing that worried her. She was late. You know, late. Every time she thought of it she said to herself, "Naw, it couldn't be…" She wasn't going to tell herself that anymore. She had to know for sure.
She told her sisters she was going to magic school for a while. As it was protected, she told him they had no need to accompany her. She didn't plan on going to magic school. Not right now anyways. Paige waved goodbye, and orbed away. It would have been much safer to drive where she was going, but she didn't want her sisters to become suspicious. She would tell them…eventually.
She reformed in the alley way a few feet away from the pharmacy where she was heading. The pharmacy was part of a semi – large mall, so she couldn't orb inside, or she would be seen. Paige walked the two minute walk to the pharmacy. She was becoming nervous. She walked in, barely registering the ring of the bell as she entered the store. She walked straight to the aisle she needed. It was easy to find as it wasn't such a large pharmacy. She grabbed the first pregnancy test she saw and quickly paid for it.
Paige then practically ran into the hustle and bustle of the main mall. She couldn't wait any longer, so she went to the bathroom in the food court. She read the instructions on the back of the box very carefully. Okay, she said to herself, pee on the stick. Blue line means baby, pink line means no baby. She did as the box instructed her, waiting the mandatory five minutes before seeing the results. The line was blue! She was going to have a baby!
Her initial excitement was replaced by unexpected worry. Would she be a good mother? This little person would depend on her for everything. He or she would call her mommy. "Poor kid," was her initial thought. She immediately told herself she was being stupid. She knew she was going to make a great mother, and Kyle would be a great father.
She walked out of the bathroom and sighed a large sigh of relief. Paige was surprised to see the mall almost empty. She heard a hoarse voice she was sure only she could hear. It rasped, "Don't be to comfortable witch!" The voice had a threatening quality to it. "I will get your magic. And your baby's too!" That statement sent a chill down Paige's spine, but she chose to ignore it. Instinctively, she orbed to the manor. She just missed being swiped by a pair of large claws…
