Phoebe sobbed and sobbed, Leo crying and Chris still holding onto his dead aunt's hand numbly.
"Who's going to tell Piper?" He whispered and Phoebe sat down weakly on the couch. She put her head in her hands.
"I-I don't think she should know right now. Not until you're born." Phoebe said softly to Chris. Chris nodded and looked at Paige; her head slumped down, a pool of blood gathered at her stomach. He turned away and closed his eyes, biting his lip to keep from crying. He gently picked her body off of the couch.
"W-what are you doing?" Phoebe said softly.
"I-I can't see her like this, the blood. This wasn't supposed to happen!" Chris yelled angrily, tears spilling from his eyes.
"I'll be back in a minute." He orbed upstairs and was back a few minutes later.
"I just put her in her bed." He said softly. He collapsed on the sofa and sat up. He had just sat in Paige's blood. He let out a sob and Phoebe hugged him tightly and the two of them cried together.
"Not another sister. It's like I lost Prue all over again." Phoebe sobbed. Leo started shaking with rage.
"AGH!" He yelled, sending loose electricity from his hands, smashing all the windows. He went into a rage, shaking, crying and blowing things up until her got too tired.
"Why couldn't I heal her! WHY!" He shouted and sat down, crying. All three of them sat there for the next half an hour, struggling to get that Paige was really dead.
"I think we should find Gideon before he kills Wyatt as well." Phoebe said. Leo stood up, his anger boiling. This was all Gideon's fault that his sister-in-law was dead.
"I'll take care of Gideon, once and for all. Screw what the elders have to think." Leo said angrily.
"Do you know where he is?" Chris asked. Leo was pacing now, across the floor.
"I think Gideon is working with a demon, I'm not sure which one, but I'm going to look in the underworld." Leo orbed away before Phoebe and Chris could talk him out of it. Exhausted they sat down and closed their eyes.
"I still can't believe that she's . . . she's actually . . ." Phoebe let out a sob and Chris hugged his aunt.
"I know, I know. What I don't get is that Paige wasn't supposed to die today and in this way in the future." He said and then quickly realized his error. Phoebe's head snapped up.
"What do you mean she wasn't supposed to die this way?" Phoebe said suspiciously. Chris let out a sigh, realizing there was no way out of this one. He shifted in his seat.
"Well, in my future, Paige is supposed to die later on. About a couple days later on." He said quietly. Phoebe's eyes widened.
"When were you going to tell us this?" She accused him, her temper rising. Chris let out a sigh.
"I was getting around to it, really. That's why I wanted you guys to be there when I went back to my time with Leo and also to read the spell. I was going to tell you guys but I never had the time." Chris explained quickly, not wanting to anger Phoebe. Phoebe seemed content with the answer.
"What are we going to do Chris? Paige is actually gone." Phoebe said softly.
"I honestly don't know Pheebs." Chris said. Phoebe got up and went to the stairs.
"Where are you going?" Chris said, walking over to Wyatt who had started to bawl, sensing something was wrong. He tried to shush his little bro, but Wyatt wouldn't stop crying. Phoebe walked over and picked up Wyatt. Putting him on her hip she walked up the stairs.
"I'm going to see Paige." Phoebe said shakily.
"I don't think Wyatt should see his aunt like that." Chris said softly. Phoebe knew he was right but wasn't in the mood for handing him over.
"Well he already knows something is wrong." She snapped. Her eyes widened.
"I'm sorry Chris, you're right." Phoebe went to hand him over but Chris just waved her off.
"No, just take him up there." The three of them walked into Paige's room and Phoebe walked over to where her sister lay. Paige's eyes were closed, her brown hair hanging limply in her face. She was tucked away in her bed and it almost looked like she was sleeping. Wyatt was looking at his aunt, his eyes wide, but he didn't cry. Instead, he orbed out of Phoebe's arms and ended up beside Paige.
"Oh no, honey. Auntie Paige is sleeping for a long time." Phoebe said gently and she picked the toddler up off of Paige. Wyatt looked confused and then started to bawl.
