Chapter 6

Back and Nightmares

Prue appeared in a swirl of orbs in the kitchen of the manor where Piper and Phoebe were drinking coffee in silence. When Piper saw Prue she gasped in surprise. Phoebe's back was turned towards Prue but she heard Piper's gasp so she turned around. Phoebe gasped and that's when Piper asked, "Prue is that really you?" She didn't quite believe that Prue was really standing in front of her. Phoebe looked into Prue's icy blue eyes and she answered before Prue could, "Yes that's really her Piper," Prue smiled at Phoebe and Phoebe ran and hugged her. Piper who was now crying walked up to Prue and hugged her tightly. The three sisters stood there hugging for a few minutes before Phoebe pulled away and wiped away her tears. Piper followed suit as soon as she was calm enough to stand-up by herself without leaning on Prue.

Phoebe was the first one to speak, "Are you here to stay?" "Yes though it took some convincing on my part," said Prue breaking a small smile. "Let's go sit down in the living room and talk and then you can tell us how you got here," said Piper as she started to walk towards the living room. Phoebe and Prue followed Piper into the living room and they all sat down.

"So why now, why not earlier?" asked Piper. "Well Grams thinks it is because of a prophecy that was made," said Prue. "What prophecy?" asked Piper. Prue went on to explain about the Elder counselor, how they allowed her to come, and finally the prophecy. Piper and Phoebe sat there shocked. "So what are we going to do?" asked Phoebe still stunned. "Well first we need to figure out what's with our baby-sister," said Prue. "The planets don't align for another three and a half weeks but Paige isn't going to be willing to spill her guts to three people she doesn't really know that well," said Phoebe putting her face into her hands. "Well we definitely got our work cut out for us," said Prue.

"I'm going to check on Paige, I'll be back in a minute," said Phoebe as she got off the couch and walking towards the stairs. After Phoebe left Prue turned towards Piper. "Piper I need to talk to you, why can't you accept Paige?" asked Prue flat out. That was when Piper started to cry and she choked out, "Because I thought that mean that you would never be able to come back and I missed you so much." Prue reached out and hugged Piper tightly and then said, "Piper you know that I would always love you but Paige is also our sister last name or not." "I know and that is why I am going to try extra hard to get her to trust us and open up to us," said Piper pulling away from Prue and wiping away her tears.

At that second Phoebe yelled to Piper and Prue that they better get up there right away. Piper and Prue looked at each other and then ran up the stairs where they found Phoebe knelt at Paige's bed because Paige wasn't sleeping soundly she was tossing and turning. "Piper go get me a bowl with warm water and a wash cloth," ordered Prue. Piper ran out of the room and down the stairs.

Prue noticed that Paige was sweating to the point she was drenched. "We should change her clothes, but I have no clue how we are going to do that," said Prue turning towards to Phoebe. "We don't know what she's dreaming about she might attack us with meaning to," said Phoebe in a panicky voice. "Yes but we also don't want her to get sick," said Prue. At that second Piper walked into the room with the bowl of warm water and a dry washcloth. "What do you want me to do with this?" asked Piper. "Damp the cloth and hold it on Paige's forehead," responded Prue. Prue then turned back to Phoebe and said, "I really think we should switch Paige's clothes because she's drenched and she could get sick."

"Okay I guess your probably right I'll get her pajamas," said Phoebe walking over to Paige's dresser to find some night clothes. It looked like Paige had finally calmed down with Piper's warm washcloth and her silent shushing at least for the time being. "We're in for a long night," thought Piper as she re-dampened the washcloth and put it back on Paige's forehead. Phoebe came back with a pair of Paige's pajamas. Together Prue and Phoebe managed to get Paige's pajamas on without waking her up and she only let out one little whimper.

While Prue and Phoebe were doing that Piper went downstairs to get some more warm water. Phoebe put the covers back on Paige and kissed her forehead. At that second Piper came back up the stairs with the warm water. This time though Prue took the bowl and the washcloth out of Piper's grasp. Piper just kinda stared at Prue and Phoebe gave Piper one of those 'Prue is going to act like mom now' looks. Piper nodded at Phoebe and gave her a look that said 'that was expected.' Prue re-dampened the cloth and put it back on Paige's forehead.

Piper went out of the room and came back with a pillow and a sleeping bag. "Your not staying in here, in fact you should get back to bed," said Prue. "This isn't for me first of all and yes I am staying in here but I'll sleep next to Paige. That way if she starts to toss and turn again I'll wake-up and be able to calm her down," said Piper her voice full of stubbornness. "Piper….," Prue began. "Don't argue with me Prue," said Piper cutting her off. "Okay then," said Prue putting her hands up in defeat deciding it was better to give up then argue and wake-up Paige and besides that Prue saw pure determination her Piper's eyes.

During the argument between Piper and Prue, Phoebe left the room and came back holding a sleeping bag and a pillow. "Oh no not you to," said Prue smacking her forehead. "Phoebe you should really get to bed," said Piper silently agreeing with Prue. "No Paige is my sister to," Phoebe said stubbornly. "Fine but we are in for a long night especially if Paige doesn't sleep soundly thought I am surprised that she hasn't woken up with all this craziness," said Piper.

Prue and Phoebe set up their sleeping bags and pillows on Paige's floor while Piper went and got a few blankets and her pillow from her room. "Leo is out tonight with charges so it shouldn't be a big deal if I take these," said Piper hauling in her blankets and her pillow. "I hope that Paige sleeps soundly now," said Prue her voice full of concern. Piper went and shut off the lamp they used and shut the hallway light off. Prue and Phoebe got into their sleeping bags and Piper got into the other side of Paige's queen size bed. "Good-night Prue, good-night Piper," said Phoebe. "Good-night Phoebe," said Prue and Piper at the same time. The three sisters fell asleep almost instantly.
