A/N: Just a filler chapter here... sorry.

CHAPTER THREE

Phoebe paced the floor of the hospital by the bathrooms, while Paige sat in a waiting room chair, reading a magazine to keep herself calm. Pam sat with one of the earpieces from Chris' iPod, while he had the other. Phoebe rubbed her temples.

"You okay, mom?" Pam asked.

"Yeah, it's just hospitals and Empaths don't mix well," Phoebe replied. "Headaches."

Wyatt was staring at the snack machine. Suddenly one of the chocolate bars disappeared in blue orbs and reappeared in Wyatt's hand.

"Wyatt!" Paige scolded. "What is wrong with you? You're fourteen years old, not two. Put it back." He glared at her, but obeyed. "Are you trying to expose magic?"

"You're not my mother," he mumbled in response.

"Excuse me! No, I'm not your mother, and I know her being in there is getting us all a little rattled, but shoplifting is a serious crime in both worlds! You should know better," Paige replied sternly. Wyatt sighed. Everyone knew his rash behavior was from his worries for his mother's health.

Chris diverted his attention away from his mischievous brother, while Pam watched her own mom pace the floor. Paige pulled her cell phone out of her purse and dialed a number.

"Hey Mark," she said to her husband. "No, no news yet. We're not allowed to see her."

"Ma'am?" a nurse called from her desk. "You can't use cell phones in here. Please take your call outside."

"Sorry," Paige replied to the nurse. "I have to go. Just remember to give Stella and Andy a bath tonight, okay? Love you. Bye." She turned off her phone.

Suddenly a bright blue light shone underneath the men's bathroom door. Leo stepped out.

"Leo!" Phoebe said as soon as she saw him. "What did the Elders say? Why are they doing this?"

"They said healing Piper interferes with destiny," Leo said solemnly. "How's she doing?"

"We don't know," Pam replied.

"Umm… Halliwell?" a doctor said as she stepped into the waiting room. Everyone's heads shot around to face her. "I'm Dr. Reynolds, I've been assigned to your, uh…"

"Sister," Phoebe and Paige answered.

"Wife," Leo replied at the same time.

"Mom," Chris and Wyatt said

"Aunt," Pam chimed in.

"Right, your… family member. Follow me," she replied.

A/N: Okay, if someone doesn't review this, I'm gonna cry.
