TrueLoveLivesForever - Here are the answers 2 your question: Phoebe's child cured her wound, and Raynor knew that it will, he stabbed her just to paralyze her, se he can shimmer out with her. And Pheebs and Cole will have plenty of troubles without her getting attacked, trust me... Thnx 4 reviewing
Siamese - Well, Raynor was right about baby's gender, but he wasn't right about it's number. The child will play the part of the prophecy, but that comes later. Don't worry, you can go off, I won't be surprised. It's not your obligation to review, I'm just happy when you do so. Review when you come back. Have a nice time...
mcgirl - I'm glad U think it's good. Here's more. Thnx 4 reviewing...
Chapter 12 - Anemia
A month and a half passed really fast. Phoebe was now in third month of pregnancy, and was doing fine. Jason didn't come in the Manor for more than two months. He just called to say he has some business to do. Nina was just waiting for her time to strike. Paige was getting desperate in finding the love of her life, since all of her sisters already found it (Though Prue lost it, it's Andy).
"Hey, Phoebe." Paige turned to her older sister. "I'm going on a date. Tell Piper I'll be home in like... three hours. Oh, and I'll take Prue's car."
"Wait a minute." Phoebe stopped her. "You're going on a date 1 P.M?" Paige nodded. "Paige, lunch dates are complete disaster. Trust me. Cole broke up with me after a lunch date. I mean, I know that you want to find your true love, but you not that desperate, aren't you?"
"Cole broke up with you?" Paige stared. "When did that happen?"
"Long time ago, while Prue was alive... for the first time." Phoebe explained. "But, the beak up didn't last for more than two hours." Paige looked at her with eyes wide open, expecting for an explanation. "Well, long story."
"No, it's not." Paige said. "Don't you dare to try hiding something from me, Phoebe! What happened?"
"Well, Prue was and Empath then." Paige's mouth was half opened and she kept staring at Phoebe. "So, when Cole was leaving the Manor, Prue sensed that he loves me and she told me that. So, I went to Cole's apartment to talk to him, and... Well, the rest is kind of private." she finished.
"You slept with him?" Paige yelled in disbelief. "I can't believe it. What did you do to make him sleep with you? I mean, he broke up for some reason..."
"Yes, he did." Phoebe said. "Cole was a demon who was trying to kill us than. He fell in love with me and he wasn't supposed to. So, he tried to keep the distance between us. But, I appeared on his door and kissed him. What could he do? He kissed me back, and than he forgot that he wasn't supposed to love me. Well, he warned me that I have no idea what I'm getting myself into. I didn't really care, though."
"Neither did I." Phoebe heard a Cole's voice behind her and than a pair of strong, muscular arms around her waist. "Having a little sister chat?" he asked.
"Well, I'm sorry, but Paige insisted to know." Phoebe explained.
"Don't be sorry." Cole said, kissing the back of her neck gently. "I'm more than proud on what happened between us that day... and night. I couldn't hide it anymore - I loved you."
"Oh, honey, I loved you, too." Phoebe said.
"Well, uh... I have to go now." Paige said. "Be nice, you two. Cole, take a good care of my sister and my future niece of nephew."
"I will." Cole nodded.
"Cole, I'm feeling kind of..." Phoebe suddenly got ditzy. She turned around to look at him, but than she fainted in his arms. Paige saw that and ran back to Phoebe.
"Phoebe!" Cole yelled. "Shit, we should get her to the doctor." he said.
"Why?" Paige smiled. "It's normal to faint when you're pregnant."
"I know, but I have an unexplainable bad feeling about this." Cole said. He raised Phoebe in his arms and turned around to Paige. "I'm shimmering her to San Francisco Memorial. Make sure Piper and Prue know where to find us." he added and shimmered away.

"How's my sister, doctor?" Piper asked. Cole, Prue, and herself were in the hospital. Paige remained home to take care of Wyatt and Chris. After 15 minutes of waiting, the doctor appeared in the waiting room, and she ran to asked what's with Phoebe.
"Mrs. Halliwell, right?" Doctor asked and Piper nodded. "Well, she'll have to stay here for the night, to find out what's wrong with her. She's been doing fine, 'till now, right?"
"Yes, she was." Piper said. "But, what do you mean when you say 'what's wrong with her'? I mean, isn't it normal to faint when you're pregnant?"
"Are you a mother, Mrs. Halliwell?" Doctor asked again.
"I have two kids, but I didn't really have a doctor during my pregnancy. I gave birth with the help of my sisters. I didn't have a reason to visit a doctor, I was doing just fine."
"Well, you were lucky, than." Doctor concluded. "It is normal to faint during your pregnancy, but only in first thirteen weeks. You sister is in sixteenth week of pregnancy, so it's not normal. But, I'm sure there's nothing to worry about." he added with a smile.
"I'm staying here." Cole said.
"Me too." Prue agreed.
"No, don't." Doctor said. "Go home and sleep. Trust me, Mrs. Halliwell will be fine here. You go home and sleep well tonight. You can wake up early tomorrow, so you can come. We'll have the results of her analysis by than."
"Okay." Cole agreed. "But, please, doctor, tell me one thing: is my son okay? Will this affect him, too?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Turner. Your son and your wife will be fine." Doctor smiled. "It's probably just a lake of vitamins of minerals in your wife's organism. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about. By the way, my name is Ted Peterson, tomorrow just ask the nurse about your sister's state and say she's in the room 124 and that I'm her doctor. She'll give you the information."
---
"Excuse me." Piper came in the hospital in 6:30 A.M. "I am the sister of Phoebe Halliwell. She is in the room 124 and Doctor Peterson told me to ask you about her state."
"Ah, Mrs. Halliwell." the nurse looked down the list. "Well, the analysis should be here in any minute. As the matter of fact, why don't you go and ask doctor if they're here? He is in your sister's room right now."
"Okay, I'll do that. Thank you." Piper said and went down the hall. She walked until she found the room with sign '124' on the door. She came in and saw doctor sitting on the chair next to Phoebe and looking on the screen.
Doctor turned around. "Mrs. Halliwell!" he said. "I wasn't expecting to see you here so early. Come here, take a seat." he said, getting up from the chair, so she could sit.
"Thank you." Piper said and sat down. "What's with my sister, doctor?"
"First of all, I should show you something." doctor said, pointing at the screen. "You see, this little thing here is your sister's baby. It looks like it a boy."
"That's a baby?" Piper looked at the screen and laughed. Doctor nodded. "But, there are two little thingies."
"Precisely." Doctor smiled. "That's what I wanted to show you. You probably didn't know that your sister's having twins."
"TWINS?" Piper grinned. "Really? Lucky girl. That's very rare, isn't it?"
"Yes, it is." doctor said. "But, that's the good news. There is also the bad news, and they are about her analysis."
"What's wrong?" Piper asked worriedly.
"Your sister is anemic." doctor said. "Anemia is a hereditary disease. It's very rare, though. It's only dangerous during the pregnancy, because it can cause many problems. First of all, the baby doesn't get all the oxygen it needs from it's mother, so it takes mother's oxygen before it reaches her lung, and that caused your sister to faint."
"Oh, my God. This is bad." Piper said.
"You're lucky you didn't have anemia yourself, Mrs. Halliwell. Well, your sister has to get much more vitamins. But, that's not all. Anemia also causes premature birth in some cases. So, your sister might give birth before 9th month."
"Is there more?" Piper asked, fearing the answer.
"Yes. The worst part is giving birth." doctor said "It is way harder than usual and it may get complicated. It is possible for a woman to faint, too."
"To faint? During the labor?" Piper yelled, completely shocked. "So, what happens than?"
"It's very risky. Doctors must wait for 30 seconds, to see if she reacts. If she doesn't react, doctors must quickly do the cesarean section. If doctors don't react in time, the baby can die. In you sister's case, the babies."
"Oh, no." Piper whispered. "Now, we have a problem."
---
Piper and Phoebe got home in the afternoon. Doctor Peterson told Phoebe about her disease, and Phoebe got worried to sick. She didn't want for her babies to die. When they got home, Phoebe went to her room, and told everything the doctor told her to Cole. Piper gathered all the family downstairs in the living room to tell them.
"Don't worry, honey." Cole said after Phoebe told her about anemia. "We'll go through this, together. You're not the first, nor the last woman that has it. Trust that doctor and listen to everything he says. His advices will make your pregnancy easier."
"Cole, our sons can die." Phoebe cried. "Don't you get it? They can die!"
"Shhhh..." Cole hugged his wife. "It's okay. They won't die. San Francisco Memorial is good hospital with good doctors. They won't wait until our sons die, trust me."
"What if something happens, so they have no choice, but to let them die?" Phoebe asked, still crying.
"There's always a choice, sweetie." Cole said, kissing the top of her head. "Always. I'll be there with you, nothing will happen. It'll be alright."
"You don't know that." Phoebe whispered. "Just promise me one thing - if something happens, so the doctors have to choose between me and my sons, tell them to save our sons." she said and Cole looked at her. Now he got worried, too. The way that Phoebe spoke was really scary.
"Phoebe..."
"Promise me, Cole!" she looked back at him. "Promise me."
"Okay, I promise." Cole whispered. "But, I'll die if I lose you."
"No, you won't." Phoebe shook her head. "And I need you to promise me one more thing - if I die, get the boys the good mother. Find love again, Cole."
"To promise you that?" Cole almost yelled. "Forget it. Phoebe, I'm a demon. The demons can't love and you know it. Since I was a half human, I fell in love, but it took me a lot of time, and it was really hard."
"So?" Phoebe asked. "You'll find love again. Promise me you will."
"No, Phoebe! No! I can't promise you that. You are everything I have, and I fell in love with you because you had strength to love for the both of us at first. I will never find a girl like you again, Phoebe." Cole said, and than realized what are they talking about. "But, you won't die."
"Cole..." Phoebe started again.
"Discussion is over, Phoebe." Cole said, looking deep in Phoebe's eyes.
"Okay." Phoebe whispered. "I'm sorry." she started crying again.
"No, don't cry." Cole hugged her and wiped the tears away from her eyes. "It's alright. We'll go through this together. Everything will be just fine, you'll see."
"I hope so." Phoebe whispered. "I hope so..."
