Chapter 15

Nauseous, Night and Note

Takes place one month after the last.

"And what time do you call this young lady?" Grams emerged from the darkness as Phoebe crept through the front door late. Her hands on her hips and a stern look on her face as she looked at her grandaughter.

"Grams it's only just after midnight," Phoebe reasoned once she got over the initial fright of seeing Grams.

"That's not the point, Phoebe it's a school night and this is the third time this week you've come in this late," Grams said her face softening slightly and her hands slouching form her hips.

"Okay, I know, I know but I lost track of time that's all," Phoebe sighed as she explained.

"Phoebe to be honest I'm more worried about what you're doing when you are out this late," Grams concern leaking through her still stern voice.

Phoebe knew exactly what Grams was getting at and really she couldn't blame her for coming to such a conclusion, "Grams I'm not drinking," Phoebe said honestly looking Grams directly in the eye.

Grams sighed in relief, "I know you wouldn't do that again, its just I worry sometimes, especially when you're coming in this late three times a week,"

"Well its not really like I have anything better do, I mean my sisters are always out with their boyfriend's…well except Piper but she has gone into this major workaholic mode,"

Grams smiled, "Look Prue told me about you missing Cole so that's why you're going out on different dates the whole time and…"

"I wish Prue would keep her nose out of my life," Phoebe cut in annoyed.

"Well you know, its all right to miss Cole, you don't have to keep it in we are all here if you want to talk," Grams assured her kindly.

Phoebe softened and nodded, "I know but really I'm fine," She had said this so many times now it came out almost automatically. Truth be told though she was partly lying she missed Cole more than she would admit to anyone. None of the guys she had been on dates with had come even close to Cole but hey at least her way of dealing with missing him was better than Piper's, well more fun at least.

"Okay well you better get to bed, you have school tomorrow," Grams finally said ushering Phoebe up stairs.

Phoebe smiled, "Goodnight Grams,"

"Goodnight," Grams replied while Phoebe started up the stairs.

She stopped at the top and smiled down at Grams, "Love you,"

Grams smiled too, "Love you too,"

Prue awoke the next morning to the sound of Abbie crying. She turned over to face Abbie's crib and eventually managed to open her eyes, her gaze the falling on her alarm clock, which read 5am. "Abbie, sweetie its too early," She moaned but Abbie obviously didn't understand and so kept crying. "Okay, okay I'm up," Prue yawned and stretched before forcing herself out form under her warm covers. A horrible chill went right through her as she bent down to pick up Abbie, "There we go, you' re okay, lets go and get you fed," She soothed the now silent baby and carried her out of the room, pausing at the bathroom door after hearing an unpleasant sound.

"Paige?" Prue said surprised as she walked into the bathroom and saw her youngest sister crouched on the floor, head over the toilet seat throwing up. "Paige you okay?" She didn't realise how stupid that sounded until it was out, "Well obviously not," She put in quickly.

Paige managed to come away from the toilet, her face pale and beads of sweat on her forehead to look at Prue.

"How long have you been up doing this?" Prue asked sympathetically.

"Oh about a half an hour," Paige replied sourly.

"Oh sweetie I totally know what that feels like when I was pregnant it used to be that long sometimes longer," Prue said but Abbie started crying again.

"You go feed her, I'm feeling a bit better now anyway," Paige told Prue while giving her a weak smile

"If you're sure?" Paige nodded and Prue left with a hungry Abbie.

As soon as she left though Paige felt that familiar feeling again and was bent back over the toilet.

"Whats wrong with me?" She moaned, "This is the fourth time this week this has happened," She suddenly thought back to what Prue had said a minute ago. "When I was pregnant it was this long sometimes more, pregnant, pregnant," The word swirled round her head, she quickly shook them away though, "That's ridiculous I can't be pregnant, I'm only fourteen, I cannot be pregnant,"

"Not true anyone who has unprotected sex can be," A little voice in the back of her head argued.

Suddenly she was reminded of that night with Glen, they were so drunk she couldn't really remember what happened but she was sure that if they did do the thing she dreaded they had they sure wouldn't have been thinking about protection.

"No, no, no this can't be happening," Paige felt sick at the thought of it and was then literally sick again.

Prue looked up to her doorway where Paige stood, she smiled at her, "Feeling better I take it?" She asked.

"What…Oh yeah sure," Paige answered.

"Good," Prue nodded, "So what can I do for you?" She asked.

"Em, well okay we're doing a project in school in biology on pregnancy and I was wondering if you could answer some questions?" Paige asked trying to keep her voice steady.

"Okay," Prue agreed patting her bed for Paige to come and sit down.

"Well how did you first know you were pregnant?" Paige asked slightly nervously.

"Well I was feeling nauseous a lot and my period was late, plus I remembered a night where me and Andy hadn't…well you know used protection," She blushed slightly at discussing this topic with her youngest sister but continued, "So it all just sort of added up so I took a test and well you know the rest,"

Paige smiled slightly, "Weren't you nervous or scared though?" Paige asked curiously.

"Nervous? I was absolutely terrified, you have no idea how much courage I had to pluck up to just by the test let alone take it. It's one of the scariest things I've ever done," Prue answered.

"I'll bet," Paige agreed, "But I mean that must have been early on in the pregnancy, I mean lets just say someone had sex like three months ago surely they would have noticed before then if they were pregnant or not, right?" Paige asked hoping Prue was going to agree with her.

"Well no you might not get many pregnancy symptoms at all, or until really late on, actually I've heard of some people not knowing they are pregnant until their waters break,"

"Seriously?" Paige asked a little high pitched.

"Yeah," Prue replied eyeing Paige curiously, "You okay?"

"Yeah, I just feel kinda sick again so…I'm going to go," Paige stood up feeling slightly faint but she brushed it off and was able to walk out of the room.

"Hi," Piper heard Leo's voice on the other side of the phone say, she smiled happy to hear him.

"Hi to you too,"

"So listen Piper are you sure about this because we don't have to…"

"Leo I've never been so sure in my life, I love you and I want to be with you," She said firmly.

Leo beamed, "I was hoping you were going to say that,"

Piper smiled too, "Now listen I'm all set,"

"Me too," Leo replied.

"So I guess I'll see you soon," Piper said almost giddily.

"Very soon," Leo corrected.

Very soon indeed, they were planning on leaving that night.

Paige stared at the shelf in front of her, breathing deeply then she glanced up at the counter where she saw none other than Glen's aunt.

"Okay there is no way I'm buying this now," She thought firmly in her head.

This was when her old days of nicking stuff came in very handy. Slowly and discreetly she reached out for the pregnancy test, her hand shaking as she did so then slipped it in her pocket. At a quicker but still casual pace she made her way out of the shop.

"That was the easy part though," She though grimly.

Prue strolled through the mall, one hand held softly by Andy, the other steering Abbie's pushchair. Prue couldn't help but smile to herself. Sure a lot of people who were seeing them just now probably thought they were too young; just silly little school kids but she didn't care what they thought. As far as she was concerned, she was the happiest she had ever been and even with the sleepless nights, not being able to go to as many parties and having to drop out of school, she wouldn't change having Abbie for the world. Just hearing her little girls giggle always made her smile no matter how she was feeling, she loved Abbie more then she ever thought imaginable. And she felt most happy when they were altogether as a family, just her, Andy and Abbie. And these little family day outs were happening more often now with Lindsay out of the picture.

When Andy had told Prue about her lies, Prue was positively bubbling with rage. Sure now she more calm, but the thought of the girl still made her blood boil. Luckily she hadn't really seen Lindsay since the lies came out, which was a good thing since Prue didn't know whether she would be able to contain herself if she did.

The three of them stopped outside a small café and Prue bent down to the same level as Abbie, "You thirsty, sweetie?" She asked to which Abbie made a funny noise which Prue took as a yes, smiling Prue unstrapped Abbie, "Okay then lets go inside, mummy could do with something herself," Prue lifted Abbie out her pushchair and rested the little girl on her hip.

"Would mummy like some juice aswell?" Andy asked in a playful way as he went ahead and opened the door for Prue.

Prue hit him playfully on her way past him, "Well I was thinking more like a coffee to help restore the energy I lost form being up so early this morning with this little rascal." Prue put on a pretend stern face at Abbie who just stuck her thumb in her mouth and looked up angelically at Prue. Prue shook her head while Andy laughed.

They sat at a small table in the corner of the café, Abbie was brought a high chair and she sat in it without any fuss, which Prue was grateful for. A tall, handsome waiter appeared at their table, flipping open his notepad and smiling at them politely, "Ready to order?"

Prue opened her mouth to answer when something caught her eye, "Oh my God," She whispered in disbelief.

"What?" Andy asked reverting his gaze to follow Prue's. He then sighed and shook his head, "Unbelievable, I'm telling you we will never be free of her…do you want to go?" He looked at Prue again while the waiter gave them a puzzling look as he remained in front of them awkwardly.

"No we are not leaving because of her," Prue said firmly looking away from the fake blonde who was sitting at a table three from theirs with her cronies Karen and Miranda.

"Okay then…" Andy agreed looking back at the waiter, "I'll have the…"

Suddenly though Lindsay's voice rang across the room, "Oh hi you two, I never noticed you both there," She was smiling far too over the top.

Andy opened his mouth to say something, which Prue was guessing, wasn't going to be "Oh hey how are you?" She nudged Andy and mouthed, "Ignore her,"

Lindsay spoke again, her voice echoing around the room causing everyone to give her a dirty look for interrupting their peace. "I'm only trying to be friendly," Her voice was so sickly sweet and casual then Andy didn't know how she could do it after all she had put them through.

He gritted his teeth to refrain form shouting something at her while Prue feeling anger bubble inside her purposely ignored her and looked at the waiter, "I'll have a black coffee please and…"

"See you try and be friendly…"

"…And a white coffee…" Prue continued her teeth gritted so hard as she finding it harder to ignore Lindsay.

"…And this is what you get, I mean what has the world come to…" Lindsay continued shaking her head.

Prue suddenly slammed her menu on the table; "Will you please shut up!" She exclaimed finally losing her temper.

Everyone in the room suddenly stopped talking and turned to look. Andy stared at Prue taken aback at her outburst, wasn't she the one who two minutes ago told him to ignore her? Even Abbie had stopped her usual giggling.

Prue composing herself slightly spoke calmer, "Andy doesn't want you, he doesn't like you and I can't say I blame him because I can't stand you. You are nothing but a lying cheating whore," Lindsay was turning paler by the second thanks to Prue's outburst but Prue continued. "So will you please keep away form my family because you have caused nothing but trouble for us and its time you stopped. So don't talk to us, don't smile at us, don't even look our direction, okay? We'll live our lives and you'll live yours, hopefully not having to cross each other's paths too much. And I suggest you do that because I swear to god that if you ever hurt my family again then I will not be responsible for my actions." Prue's voice was ice cold; her eyes filled with hate as she said each word slowly to emphasis her point.

She sighed once she'd finished and looked at the stunned waiter and started to speak again like nothing had happened, " So that was a black coffee and a white coffee and sweetie do you want anything else?" She looked at Andy, who blinked a few times before shaking his head.

Gradually the room became full of chatter and laughing again. Andy smiled proudly at Prue and squeezed her hand, she smiled back, feeling like a huge weight had been lifted from her and now she felt so much lighter.

"You look nice," Piper commented coming down the stairs just in time to catch Phoebe before she went out the front door, "Where you going?"

Phoebe swung round completely surprised at Piper's cheerful tone and interest in her. Maybe Piper was finally getting over Leo. "Oh just to a party," She smiled at Piper.

"I hope you have a good time then," Piper said walking towards Phoebe and hugging her tightly.

"What was that for?" Phoebe asked surprised at Piper's sudden affectionate behaviour after spending the last couple of month's barely even talking.

"What can't a girl hug her sister for no reason?" Piper asked innocently.

"Well sure you can…its just…Piper I'm glad you're feeling better," Phoebe decided was the best way to put it.

Piper nodded feeling her eyes go watery, she sniffed, "Bye Pheebs, love ya," She managed despite the growing lump inside her throat.

Phoebe smiled at her sister and gave her another hug, "Bye, I love you too," Then she was gone.

"Hi Paigey," Paige looked up startled from the box in her hands to see Piper in the doorway, quickly she flung the box under her bed before Piper noticed then smiled at her sister surprised to see her there. Piper wasn't much for talking these days.

"Piper, hi," Paige sat up.

"So what are you doing, you look a little stressed," Piper noticed concerned.

"Nothing, nothing," Paige answered a little too quickly.

"You sure? Because you know you can talk to me right…about anything," Piper smiled reassuringly.

"Well actually…" Paige started. She could tell Piper what she was worried about right? After all she had helped Piper when she was in the same situation before.

"Yeah?" Piper urged gently.

"I…I…I'm worried about Phoebe," She sighed, she couldn't do it.

"Oh right, well don't worry Paige, I'm sure she'll be fine, she always is eventually," Piper reassured her.

"Yeah you're right I guess," Paige nodded.

Piper looked at Paige for a moment, "What do I have something on my face?" Paige asked touching her cheek.

"No…I…you know I love you right?"

"Yeah and I love you too," Paige said wondering what Piper was getting at.

"Good and you know I always will," Piper continued smiling at Paige.

"Me too," Paige agreed still feeling puzzled but decided to just be happy that Piper was acting better.

Piper hugged Paige suddenly, taking Paige aback slightly then smiled before letting go of her. She walked away pausing at the doorway, "Goodbye Paige," Feeling that lump form again.

"Bye," Paige smiled unaware it would be the last time she would see Piper for a while anyway, well if Piper's plan worked out.

Piper then walled into Prue's room already upset form saying goodbye to Paige. Prue looked up at her enter, "You okay?" She asked as soon as she saw Piper.

"Yeah I'm fine," Piper lied, "Look Prue I just wanted to apologise for being so distant lately, you know since Leo left and…"

"Piper its okay, I totally understand, it must be hard," Prue said gently.

Piper nodded, "Thanks for being so supportive and not just about this, for everything, I don't know what I'd do without you,"

"Oh sweetie you don't have to worry about that, I'm not going anywhere," Prue got up and hugged Piper who whispered so quietly into Prue shoulder that Prue didn't hear, "But I am,"

"Okay I'm ready," Paige said confidently to herself, as she was about to look at the test sitting on the bathroom counter. Though confidence showed in her voice that was the total opposite of what she was feeling inside. Truth was she was in bits. Tiny little bits picking away at her. Then thoughts swirled round her head, Glen abandoning her, Grams look of disappointment, her sisters shocked faces, her life turning upside down and whether this was all a nightmare or reality she had the answer just in front of her. Sinking down on the bathroom floor she let the thoughts consume her…

Dear, Grams, Prue, Phoebe, Paige and little Abbie,

I don't really know what to say, I mean I've planned everything else out except this part saying goodbye to you all, which is the hardest part because I love you all so much…but I love Leo aswell in a different way though, I'm in love with him. See Leo turned my life around, I was pretty much alone before he came along, it was before we all made up but he changed all that, he actually noticed me and cared about me, like no one else at school ever had. He makes me feel alive, free, loved, special and I need to be with him. Don't worry though, I'll be fine but please don't try and find me, let me do this and I won't be gone forever, promise.

I love you all, Piper xxx

Piper let a tear drop fall on the page before folding it up and setting it on her bedside table.

Paige had eventually worn herself out completely and had fallen asleep on the bathroom floor the same thoughts probably still floating around her head.

"It was a great party," Phoebe said helping to clear up some of the rubbish scattered all over the place after the guests had all left.

"What do you mean, the party isn't over yet, we can have our own private one now," Shaun who was her date and whose house it actually was grinned seductively at her.

"Come again?" Phoebe said playing dumb.

"Phoebe I like you…a lot, you don't have to go yet," Shaun moved closer to her.

Phoebe backed away quickly, "I really should go," Phoebe said firmly turning to leave.

"Right, its okay, my friend Darren told me you're still hung up over Cole Turner anyway," Shaun shrugged and continued to tidy up.

Phoebe stopped in her tracks and turned to look at him, "What?"

"That you're still hung up…"

"I heard you…its just…so not true,"

"Right," Shaun smirked starting to leave the room.

"Wait," Phoebe called, Shaun looked round and Phoebe suddenly kissed him, it didn't take him long to retaliate, he kissed her with such force it nearly knocked her over but there was no way she was breaking the kiss, she was going to prove once and for all she was not "still hung up over Cole Turner"

Shaun pulled away for a split second, "I thought you had to go," He breathed, Phoebe smelling a faint whiff of alcohol.

She grinned, "Maybe I have some time,"

He grinned too, kissing her again getting wilder by the second; he grabbed her hand, "Lets go somewhere more private,"

Phoebe nodded being pulled away by him.

Piper hauling a small but heavy suitcase crept downstairs in the dead of the night stopping by the manor door and looking behind her one more time. Several times that night she had decided she couldn't go but she had managed to convince herself to eventually leave. Casting a look at a photo frame with her, Grams, Prue. Phoebe, Paige and Abbie in it, she smiled through her watery eyes. Taking a deep breath she blew a kiss towards it and silently walked out the door, her stomach fluttering like mad with excitement and nerves. She crept out into the quiet, empty street ready for her new life…with Leo.

Wow so a lot happened there, I personally like the bit where Prue told Lindsay off, I've wanted her to do that for ages! Lol!

Next chapter- Everyone finds out Piper is gone, Grams ignores Piper's wish about not trying to find her. Will Piper even make to Leo or will she decide she can't and go home? Paige finds out whether she is pregnant or not.

Chapter 16 will be up soon!
