Chapter 5: Watching and Waiting

A/N: Tomorrow's my birthday, and I've been having a very bad day, so I just had to update. I have most of this planned out. This chapter is Paige centered (duh!). The next chapter will be Piper/Leo. After will be Phoebe. Then there'll be brotherly bonding with Chris and Wyatt. After that Kyle. Finally humongous plots twist. Then more stuff.

Paige orbed into the manor and immediately called her sisters. She had hopped to wait a bit before telling them the good news, but they had to vanquish the demon. She didn't tell Piper or Phoebe anything over the phone. She was scared. She was extremely scared for this baby that she just learned she had. They were up against an extremely powerful demon that they couldn't even see. She had to kill it. If not for herself, then for her baby.

Suddenly Paige smiled, an epiphany lighting her up from the inside. She knew how they could see the demon. It was so obvious. She cursed herself for not figuring it out before. Paige ran up to the attic, almost tripping on the stairs. The book was already open to the page she needed, thanks to help from her grams. It was a spell to see what evil sees. Since the Vidaro could only be seen by evil beings, this was sure to work.

The book said she needed an object to enchant. There was a pair of dark sunglasses lying around that would be perfect. She cleared her throat and chanted,

"Enchant my eyes so I may see,

That which only evil sees,

I am of light I must see of dark,

Let me see I thee impart."

She heard hurried footsteps come up the stairs. Her sisters must be here. Piper and Phoebe burst into the attic, looking extremely anxious. Paige was a bit worried too. She had told herself that this was the time she would tell her sisters she was pregnant. It was much harder to tell them then she thought.

Tired of her sister's silence, Piper said, "What's wrong Paige?" Paige hesitated a moment before answering. Why was it so hard to tell her sisters the thing she had been dying to tell them?

"The Vidaro attacked, I only just got away." Piper immediately rushed to comfort her sister. Phoebe, however, knew that Paige wasn't telling them something.

Phoebe said, "Paige, we're sisters, you shouldn't hide anything from us. What aren't you telling us?"

Paige was in tears now. Those uncontrollable pregnancy hormones she always heard about were really something. She gulped in a few breaths of air before replying. "The demon…he said…he said he would kill my baby!" There was a stunned silence at these words.

Piper stammered, "But you're not…she's not…"

Phoebe looked at Paige and asked, "You're pregnant?"

Paige nodded. Piper and Phoebe shrieked and pulled their sister into a hug. "You're squishing me…" Paige gasped. "Sorry", said Piper and Phoebe in unison, pulling away slightly. The sisters smiled at each other. "Hi baby", Phoebe said, talking to Paige's stomach. Piper laughed. "You'll have to get used to that, sis", Piper told Paige.

The sisters would not have been enjoying this brief happy moment if they knew what was happening. Someone was watching them. They were watching and plotting. His Vidaro would provide a distraction. Then he would destroy them. Soon he would kill them all…

TBC…

Only if I get enough reviews…
