Declaimer: I don't own Charmed.

Chapter Forty-one

The phone rang.

Loudly.

It woke Paige and Phoebe from their deep sleep.

They were sleeping down stairs together as the house was so over crowded.

Jess and Beca were sleeping in Phoebe's room.

Phoebe and Paige had been sharing since Richard had broken up.

Kattie and Cat were in the spare room.

Piper and Leo were back where they belonged.

Together in their own bedroom as a couple.

A soon to be married couple.

Wyatt was in his nursery and his little twenty three year old broth from the future, Chris, had orbbed off some where or other a few hours ago.

He hadn't come back yet.

"Alright!" Phoebe said groggily as she stumbled out of bed towards the phone. "You can stop that now. I'm coming. Enough already."

"Phoebe?" Paige asked sleepily.

"I'll get it Paige."

"Opus!" Paige cringed as the cordless orbbed into her hands just as Phoebe's finger tips touched it. "Sorry sis. Didn't mean to. Real sorry Phoebes. Hello," She answered sitting up and rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Halliwell residence."

"Piper?" A male voice asked.

"No." Paige replied causally. She wondered if demons had learnt to use the phone and if they would ask for one of her sisters. It could be a new form of tauter. Sleep deprivation. Easy one to solve unplug the phone at bed time. "Paige Matthews. Her little sister."

"Can I speak to Piper?"

"It's 4 am! She's in bed. Asleep! No you can not talk to her. Go away! Call back in the morning. Who ever you are!"

"Ms Matthews. I will not call back in the morning. You will let me talk to my patient now."

"Who the hell are you?"

"Your sister's doctor. This is very important. I do need to talk to her."

"I'll give her a message unless this is life threatening."

"Only if she doesn't turn up to her appointment. She knows she has to but has a habit of not turning up. We like not to give her any excuses and by us I mean me and my staff."

"What's the message?"

"Tell she has an appointment at 7.45 tomorrow morning. She knows where to go. Tell her Chapple called. She'll know who you mean."

"So Chapple 7.45. That it?"

"Exact words. Might want to throw in don't be too late. I'm sure I will meet you in the future and I look forwards to it. Also tell her I would prefer her to come alone or with one of the Duke brothers. Oh and that I'm alerting the news papers Piper Halliwell is actually asleep."

He hung up before Paige could protest.

"What's up?" Phoebe asked. "Or in other words who are we vanquishing."

"Piper's doctor, goes by the name of Chapple, she's got an appointment tomorrow."

"When?"

"7.45 in the morning."

"Ouch! I vote you wake her, and my vote is deciding because I'm older than you, and because we don't want any one to die when she blows you up."

"Uh-hum! What about me?"

"You're part waste of space. You've got most chance of surviving."

"Hey, I'm no waste of space."

"You're half white lighter aren't you?" Phoebe snapped hastily. "Oh sorry sweetie. I so didn't mean that. I've spent too much time with Prue. Her anti-white lighter attitudes are starting to rub off on me. Gezzs this is going to get me in so up trouble with Piper. Damn it I am so going to get blown up." She cradled her head in her hands. "When Leo gets up remind me to apologies to him for every thing I have said and will say that is anti white lighter until I get Prue out of my system."
