Leo wasn't answering. That wasn't like him. She tried several times; she was desperate to talk to him. Where could he be? I bet he's out with someone else; I bet he doesn't really want to be with me or have to look after a child at only 18…
She decided to ring him at home.
"Hello Wyatt household, Fran speaking"
"Hey it's Piper, is Leo around?"
"Hello darling, no he's out with his grandparents, they came back from France a few hours ago."
"Oh right, bye" Piper said quickly hanging up. She thought to herself; this baby was only going to make things harder. They'd have to get money for food, clothes and probably a house because Grams would probably want nothing to do with her when she found out…
Piper thought of all the various options and situations but she kept on coming up with the same thing, as much as she was against it she saw no other way that she could make this work… She decided to sleep on it then decide what to do in the morning…
Piper had had a restless night, she'd stayed awake most of the night, thinking. When she woke up she felt tired and confused; she still didn't know whether what she was going to do was the right thing.
She went downstairs and found Grams reading the paper in the front room. She mumbled good morning then stumbled into the kitchen where Prue and Phoebe were sitting in silence. No-one knew how to get on with Prue anymore.
"Morning" she said to her sisters. Phoebe smiled and Prue didn't even look up. Piper rolled her eyes at Phoebe who did the same. "Where's Paige?" Piper said looking around, Paige was usually up first.
"Apparently she stayed at a friend's"
"Oh right"
"Bullshit she did" Prue said
"Why'd you say that" Phoebe asked confused
"Because I saw her last night and she was alone"
"Where did you see her?" Piper asked
"Park"
"Why were you there?" Phoebe asked confused
"Because I was with friends"
"Taking drugs" Piper added snidely
"Shut up, at least I wasn't out getting myself pregnant"
"Prue what's going on with you? Why do you have to be so mean all the time? Don't you think Piper's got enough to worry about?" Phoebe said angrily
"Whatever" Prue said, continuing to read the paper
"Phoebe don't bother, she's taken so many drugs she doesn't have any feelings anymore"
They all sat in silence for a minute or two before Phoebe said,
"If you saw Paige out late, on her own might I add, then why didn't you bring her home? She's too young to be out, especially by the park, bad stuff happens there"
"She was pissing me off"
"So? She is your sister Prue or have the drugs damaged your brain so much that you've forgotten?" Phoebe said keeping her voice quiet but she was still angry. She didn't want Paige to have to go through what she went through.
"I wish you weren't my sisters. You're all so fucking nosey and won't just leave me alone"
"We're sisters. We want to help you. We love you. You could have talked to us. You could have relied on us instead of turning to drugs and alcohol. We're all having a hard time but you don't see us drinking ourselves to death? Why couldn't you just talk to us?" Piper said sadly
"Maybe I'm fed up of talking"
"Fine, but don't forget I offered" she said as Prue walked out the door.
"So… How are you today Pipes?" Phoebe asked smiling slightly
"I'm fine… I think"
"No morning sickness yet huh?"
"No not yet luckily…"
"When do you'll tell Grams?"
"I dunno Phoebes… Not yet though. Erm, I'm going out so I'll see you later okay?"
"Bye, have fun"
Piper grabbed her coat, shouted goodbye to Grams and walked out into the fresh morning air. Sadly she knew what she had to do.
She reached the hospital and went up to the reception.
"Can you tell me where the abortion clinic is?" she asked quietly, making sure no-one else around her could hear.
"Certainly dear, down the main corridor and then follow the signs to maternity then just before you reach the maternity ward there's a sign telling you where it is." She said. Piper thanked her and walked nervously down the corridor.
She then went to another reception desk.
"I'd like an abortion" she said nervously
"Okay dear, the doctor should be finished soon, then you can go in and have a chat with him before the process. If you just wait in the waiting room through that door then he'll come in for you in a minute. What's the name?"
"Piper" she said quietly. The receptionist nodded and continued to work. Piper went into the waiting room which was shared with the maternity ward waiting room. There weren't many people waiting except a youngish woman with a toddler who was holding a 'congratulations on the birth of your baby girl' balloon. She sat down. The toddler crawled over and sat just in front of her. He had white blonde hair and bright blue eyes. He was very cute. Piper smiled at him. He held out the balloon to her and said,
"Bawoon!" then he smiled happily. Piper laughed and said
"That's a pretty balloon you've got!" he nodded and giggled.
"Sorry" the woman said "He's just learning to talk and tends to talk to anyone"
"That's ok!" Piper said "Who's the balloon for?" she asked the toddle
"Mommy!" he said
"My sister's just had a baby yesterday"
"Ah, how sweet"
"Yeah, I'm expecting one myself"
"Oh congratulations!" she seemed so excited about having a baby. She didn't look much older than herself. Piper looked at the toddler on the floor. He was so sweet. Babies are meant to be something you love for the rest of your life and she was just going to get rid of it and act like it never existed…
"Piper?" the doctor said standing in the doorway "Would you like to come with me?"
"I… I'm sorry doctor… It was a mistake coming here… I can't do this…" she said running out. She ran all the way out of the hospital and stopped when she got outside. She smiled for the first time in days; she was going to keep her baby and give it the life it deserves. She started walking quickly to Leo's house; they had a lot of people to tell…
Hope that was okay! Haven't done a bit about Piper for a while so I thought I'd give you a something interesting! Yeah so yay Piper's keeping the baby!
Oh n thanks Bloomin Daisy for the idea xxx
