Chapter 28

Hope, Hearts and Hospital Part 1

"Tell me again why she had to come." Paige whined while rolling her eyes and slouching further down in the uncomfortable plastic seat in the waiting room outside her doctor's office.

"I don't see why it's a problem, she'll probably fall asleep soon," Prue reasoned trying to stop herself from snapping. Paige's frequent bad moods lately were beginning to drive her crazy but every time she bit her tongue and smiled.

"Whatever," Paige mumbled in a bored tone while yawning, "how long does this take?" She complained glancing at the clock on the wall. Prue decided it was best to not mention the fact that they had only been waiting just over five minutes.

"Paige Halliwell the doctor will see you now." A kind faced receptionist announced smiling sweetly at Paige.

Prue stood up and thanked the receptionist; she bent down and lifted Abbie out of her pushchair and settled her on her hip. "Come on Paige." She said cheerfully holding out her hand to pull Paige to her feet.

Paige scowled, "I can get up myself!" With a little difficulty because of her eight-month pregnant stomach she did manage get to her feet with her dignity intact.

Abbie giggled as Paige led the way to the doctor's office, Prue grinned, "don't mind Auntie Paige she's a little grumpy today."

"Auntie Paige heard that!"

"Everything looks fine here," the doctor announced happily turning from the screen to look at Paige. "Now I believe you didn't want to know the sex last time, would you like to know it now?

Paige merely grunted in response.

The doctor looked over questioningly at Prue, who smiled apologetically for Paige's behaviour. She looked hesitantly at Paige, "em sure."

When Paige offered no objection, the doctor smiled as he scanned his notes, "well congratulations you're having a baby girl!"

Paige's ears perked up at those words; "I'm having a girl as in I'm going to have a daughter?" She mumbled to herself, her tone had clear excitement to it.

"Yes," the doctor smiled brightly "and there she is." He pointed to the screen.

"That's her…my daughter." Paige mumbled in awe, her eyes glued to the screen, a wide smiled spreading across her face. It all seemed so much more real knowing what she was having.

Prue watched her face brighten and felt a warm feeling surround her as she placed her hand on top of Paige's shoulder "Yeah its pretty great having a daughter." Prue told her while smiling at her own daughter in her arms.

Paige didn't look up but nodded and smiled genuinely.

"Hey Paige watch Abbie a minute, I'm desperate for the toilet." Prue said quickly putting Abbie into Paige's arms before she could answer as they exited the doctor's office.

"Uh huh, yeah sure," Paige agreed after Prue had already dashed down the hall to the toilets. She sat down with her niece on her knee. "So how do you feel about having a little girl cousin to play with?" She'd said it before even thinking. Abbie wouldn't have a cousin to play with and she wouldn't have a daughter because she wasn't keeping the baby, she reinforced into her brain but somehow she couldn't quite shake the feeling that it would be nice to have a daughter…

"Paige?"

"Yeah Grams?" Paige shouted from the couch in the living room when she heard her grandmother call for her attention.

The next minute Grams appeared at the doorway of the living room, an expression on her face Paige couldn't quite read. She held up something, which made Paige nearly choke on the water she was drinking.

"Where did you find that?" Paige squeaked nervously.

"I was emptying your pockets in your jacket so I could wash it and I found this in it." Grams explained quietly. She waited a beat before asking the dreaded question. "Paige why do you have an ultra sound scan in your jacket pocket?"

Paige squeezed her eyes shut and took a deep breath before admitting softly, "because…because I'm pregnant."

Grams laughed and shook her head; "my hearing must be going. I could have sworn you said right now that you're…"

"Pregnant? I am Grams." Paige watched Grams face become pale. She stood up her swollen stomach hidden underneath the large poncho she was wearing and moved toward Grams.

"When?" Grams choked out and Paige couldn't help but notice she was finding it hard to breathe.

"I'm eight months pregnant." Paige informed her to which Grams clutched her heart and sucked in a sharp breath.

"Grams are you okay?" Paige asked feeling concerned.

Grams winced in pain and clutched her chest tighter, her face now even paler.

"Grams?" Paige began urgently. Before she could say anything else Grams had collapsed onto the floor. Paige screamed in panic and darted across to her grandmother, kneeling as best as she could to examine Grams. "Grams can you hear me?" She demanded urgently.

"Oh my God!" She repeated to herself over and over as there was no answer. Getting to her feet she ran her fingers through her hair and took a few calming breaths before quickly calling an ambulance.

After giving details of information through the phone she hung up and looked at Grams again, she bit her lip anxiously and then suddenly felt a rush of liquid flood down her legs.

She glanced down, feeling completely dumbstruck, "oh my God…" She mumbled as she realised what was happening. Her water had just broke. "You have got to be kidding me…"

Phoebe and Lee were heavily making out on top of his bed. She moaned as he began kissing down her neck completely enjoying the feeling until…

"Ugh," she sighed with frustration as she heard her cell ring. Lee kept kissing her neck and muttered, "leave it."

She smiled at him before gently pushing him away from her, "Just a second." She promised before reaching for her phone and reading the caller ID. She looked back at Lee and set the phone down, "its just Paige, she'll just be calling to nag me for something or to ask me to get her ice cream." Phoebe explained while rolling her eyes then she smiled seductively, "now where were we?"

He grinned before she lay down again and he captured her lips with his own.

"Abbie, smile!" Prue coaxed as she positioned her camera in front of the little girl who was swinging backwards and forwards on the swings.

Andy stood behind her pushing the swing and trying to get Abbie to look at the camera.

"Okay say cheese!"

"Seese!" Abbie squealed kicking her legs out.

Prue and Andy laughed as Prue snapped the photo. "Okay one more…"

They continued to have fun completely unaware that back in the car Prue's cell was ringing.

"Come on Prue!" Paige pleaded desperately for her eldest sister to answer her phone. She shouted in frustration when it rang off. She leant against the wall and slouched down onto the floor, cradling her head in her hands. A thought coming to her suddenly she picked up the phone again.

"Hello."

Relief washed over her at the sound of his voice, "Kyle thank God you answered."

"Paige what's wrong?" he asked.

"My water just broke." She said quickly feeling panic take over again just thinking about it.

"Oh…oh God…right I'll come over and we'll get you to the hospital." He told her trying to be calm.

"No its okay there is an ambulance coming." She stated looking sadly over at Grams lifeless looking form. "Just meet me at the hospital. I need you."

"I'll be there," he told her firmly, already on his way out the door practically.

She heard the ambulance pull up outside as she hung up the phone.

"Paige, Paige!" Kyle called out to her as she got out of the ambulance at the hospital front doors. He rushed over to her and immediately asked if she was okay.

She was close to tears, "its Grams," she said in a weak voice. He turned to see paramedics wheel an unconscious Grams out of the ambulance.

"Oh my God what happened?" He asked in shock.

Paige didn't answer; she followed the paramedics as they wheeled Grams into the hospital. "Is she okay?" She demanded to know urgently.

A paramedic gave her his attention, "your grandmother suffered a heart attack," the paramedic informed her softly, "the doctors will need to take her and get her checked out."

"I'm coming." Paige stated firmly.

"Paige what about the baby?" Kyle reminded her gently.

"Baby?" A doctor questioned.

"It doesn't matter," she glared at Kyle, "I need to go with Grams, it's my fault she's like this."

"What do you mean?" The same doctor asked curiously.

"I told her I was pregnant and she was so shocked she just collapsed." Paige said her voice cracking as she remembered the look on Grams face.

"Hey it's not your fault!" Kyle argued with her then looked to the doctor for confirmation.

The doctor hesitated, "well sometimes shock or too much stress causes heart attacks but we'll need to run some tests and hopefully your grandmother will wake up soon although we cant tell exactly when that will be…"

"Well I'm coming with her." Paige stated again. "I'm fine," she assured Kyle when she saw his look. Just as she said that though she doubled over in pain as a contraction hit her.

The doctor looked at her, "obviously you're in no fit state to come, you need to get to the maternity ward." He instructed her firmly. "Your grandmother is in safe hands." He reassured her.

She nodded while wincing in pain.

"Are you the dad?" The doctor asked Kyle.

Paige answered for him while grabbing Kyle's hand tightly. "Uh huh." She sent him a look telling him to go along with it just to avoid questions.

He nodded and followed her to maternity.

"You want a drink or something?" Lee asked Phoebe as he sat up on his bed.

She shook her head and smiled. "No thanks I'm fine."

"Right well I'll be right back, I'm starving." He smiled at her and stood up.

She smirked, "work up an appetite, huh?"

He laughed and walked out the room; she took out her phone and listened to her voicemail, her eyes suddenly becoming wide as she heard the message.

"I'll see you two later then, okay." Prue kissed Abbie's forehead and handed her to Andy.

"Say bye mummy." Andy told Abbie, helping her to wave.

"So you'll drop her off at the manor later?" Prue asked.

"Of course," he confirmed and kissed her cheek.

"Bye then." She waved at them as she made her way out to her car. She sat down ad picked up her phone, deciding to quickly check her messages.

"Oh my God…" She mumbled as she heard Paige's scared voice explain what had happened.

"Prue, thank God you're here I take it you got Paige's message too." Phoebe immediately hugged her older sister as she entered the hospital only minutes after she had arrived.

"Yeah, what's happening? Have you hear anything?"

"Not really but Grams is down the hall and Paige is in maternity." Phoebe informed her.

"Right you take Grams I'll take Paige." Prue instructed.

Phoebe nodded and they both split up in different directions.

"Hi, listen that's my grandmother in there, is she okay?" Phoebe inquired as she approached a doctor who had just left the room currently occupied by Grams.

The doctor sighed, "your grandmother suffered a heart attack, her blood pressure is very high, does she deal with a lot of stress in her life?"

Phoebe thought for a moment. Well she did have to look after four teenage girls who didn't exactly make it easy for her most of the time Phoebe had to admit. "I guess…but she's going to be okay right?"

"Your grandmother is unconscious, we have no way to tell when she'll wake up." He informed her sadly.

"But she will wake up eventually?" Phoebe checked a little urgency to her voice.

"I'm sorry."

"What do you mean you're sorry?" Phoebe asked in a high pitched voice as she started to panic.

"She may or she may not, it's hard to tell." He said sympathetically.

Phoebe swallowed the information and squeezed her eyes shut, "what are the chanced roughly?" She said in a cracked voice.

The doctor sighed sadly. "50/50."

"Paige are you okay?" Was the first thing Prue asked as she entered Paige's hospital room.

"Never mind me…is Grams okay?" Paige dismissed her question and urgently asked her own.

"Phoebe's gone to see her now." Prue informed her.

"Its all my fault." Paige admitted sadly.

"No it's not." Prue protested firmly.

A few tears fell down Paige's face and she sniffed sadly.

"Hey come on you have to be strong, you're having a baby soon." Prue coaxed gently.

"Yeah but I'm not supposed to be for another month." Paige bit her lip worriedly.

"I was early with Abbie aswell remember," Prue reminded her encouragingly. "And she was fine."

Paige sighed, "I just have such a bad feeling. She's not going to be okay."

Prue couldn't tell if she was talking about the baby or Grams but she couldn't deny she had a really bad feeling in the pit of her stomach too.
