One month later

"Come on, Piper, just come out," Paige said. She was stifled a yawn and leaned back against the wall for support. Piper had been in there for ages.

"No."

"You can't look that bad." Phoebe tried this time.

The three sisters stood in a store full of pregnant women and maternity clothes. Piper was five months pregnant and really couldn't wear her normal clothes anymore, much to her annoyance.

The curtain in front of the changing cubicle was pulled back and Piper stepped out. She wore bright top with frills everywhere and silky trousers patterned with huge flowers. She did not look happy.

"Oh you look so cute!" Phoebe exclaimed in a high pitch voice.

"I look ridiculous," Piper grumbled.

"You look fine," Paige assured her, trying to hide a laugh and failing miserable. Piper did look silly.

"You know, I could have gone up a size." Piper studied herself critically in the mirror. "Or two," she added.

"It's perfect!" A shop assistant shrilled, poking her blonde out from behind a clothes rack. She placed a hand on Piper's bump and muttered "motherhood" before scurrying off.

Piper turned to her sister's with a disbelieving look on her face. "Why do strangers feel they have the right to touch me just because I'm pregnant?"

"You love it really," Paige teased. This earned her a glare form her eldest sister.

"I've had enough of trying on clothes that look totally ridiculous on me." Piper moaned. "Don't they do something a bit less obvious, in black?"

"I don't think so," Paige replied, looking around the huge shop. All she could see was brightly coloured clothes in pinks, oranges and fuchsia reds spread out in front of her.

"D'you think we could find a shop that sells more practical maternity clothes?" Piper asked, though she already suspected the answer.

"No." Came the reply from both her sisters.

"Marvellous." Piper threw up her hands in defeat and stomped back into the changing room.

"How are we supposed to reach those?" Phoebe asked, gazing up at the nappies stacked on the highest self. After a fruitless search in the clothes store, the sisters had moved on to the supermarket, hoping to stock up on more baby supplies.

"I have an idea," Paige said slyly. She glanced around to check no one was in the aisle and that no cameras were pointing in their direction. All was clear. "Nappies," she hissed. About a dozen packs dissolved into sparks of bright light and floated into Paige's arms. She dumped them into the trolley.

"Paige!" Phoebe gasped.

"Someone could've seen you," Piper admonished.

"Yeah, but they didn't."

"Let's just out of here," Phoebe said. The situation made her nervous.

"Good idea," Piper agreed. The sisters turned to leave.

"Hey!" A voice called.

Phoebe's heart skipped a beat. Someone had seen them! All the sisters turned round slowly, all thinking; 'please let him not have seen us'

As Paige caught sight of the man who was running up to them, her breath stuck in her throat and she gave an involuntary gasp. The guy was gorgeous. Around her age, with a slightly muscular body, black hair that was lightly curled and the most mesmerising eyes that Paige had ever seen.

"What?" Phoebe demanded rudely.

"I saw what you did."

'No!' Phoebe mentally screamed. This couldn't be happening. They could not be exposed again.

"What to you mean?" Paige asked calmly, trying to play it cool.

The man's eyes locked with Paige's and she felt her face flush as his eyes travelled up and down her body. She was seriously attracted to this guy, and if she wasn't wrong, the feeling was mutual.

"The whole making things move in orbs."

"We don't know what you're talking about," Piper said. She grabbed Phoebe's arm and began to pull her away.

"My name's Ryan Williams, and it's okay. I'm one too."

Phoebe shrugged off Piper and glared at Ryan. "A what?"

"A witch," Ryan whispered.

"Witches don't exist," Piper scoffed.

"Really?" Ryan closed his eyes and disappeared.

"Hey, where'd he go?" Paige asked, shocked.

"I'm right here." Ryan reappeared.

Alarm bells started ringing in Phoebe's head. Either this dude was a demon, or what he said he was, a witch with the power of invisibility. Phoebe wasn't going to stick around to find.

"I don't how you did that. But we're leaving." Phoebe gripped her sisters' arms and steered them to the checkout before Ryan could protest. They paid for their goods and left.

They were outside when Paige suddenly stopped. "I forgot something!" she cried. Without waiting for a reply, she dashed back into the supermarket.

A/N. A boring chapter, I know. But the end part is vital for the plot. Please review.
