Thanks to Soaringmunkymuffins for the reviews!

Edit: I've rewritten some of this chapter as well as the last chapter to make the story more interesting and believable. …On to the next chapter.

Phoebe pulled Leo into the corridor while Prue sat with Piper. Looking at Phoebe, Leo immediately knew she had something important to tell him.

"What's wrong?" he asked. "Is something wrong?"

"Leo," Phoebe started. She avoided making eye contact with him. Her bottom lip trembled slightly. "I'm the one who stabbed Piper." With that said, she burst into tears and quickly buried her face into her hands. Leo quickly moved to comfort Phoebe and looked around to make sure no one had heard.

"No you didn't," said Leo. "I was with Piper when it happened. You were downstairs."

"I know," Phoebe sobbed. "But I stabbed Corr with the fireplace poker at the same time." She grabbed a tissue from the cupboard and wiped her eyes. "But he was fine. It didn't even leave a mark. I think it has something to do with the spell he cast. When I attacked Corr, his injuries transferred to Piper." Leo pulled away and looked down at Phoebe, who still couldn't look him in the eye.

"That makes sense," said Leo. "That would be why I can't heal Piper. Technically, her injuries are Corr's." Phoebe nodded.

"Phoebe," said Leo. He turned and looked back at Phoebe. She stopped and looked back at him. "It wasn't your fault. Corr knew you would attack him. What happened to Piper was planned to make you feel guilty." Phoebe allowed herself to smile slightly.

"Thanks Leo," she said gratefully. "Um… I'm kinda hungry. I'm going to run down to the canteen. Do you want anything?" Leo shook his head.

"No, thanks," he replied. "You go ahead." Phoebe sighed and turned to walk toward the canteen. She wasn't really that hungry, but she didn't want to be around Prue when Leo told her what had happened. Prue probably wouldn't have been as understanding as Leo and would have blamed Phoebe for what had happened. She really couldn't handle one of Prue's guilt trips right now.

Leo finished explaining to Prue what Phoebe had told him. She looked stunned for a moment, but then nodded in agreement. "That would make sense," said Prue. "Why you can't heal her, why her injuries didn't make sense…"

"Yeah, but go easy on Phoebe when she gets back," said Leo. "She feels bad enough about it. She doesn't need to feel any worse."

"Why would I make her feel worse?" asked Prue. "She was trying to vanquish a demon. She had no idea it would backfire on Piper."

"You're being very understanding," said Leo.

"Well, yeah," said Prue. "Why wouldn't I be?" Leo shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

----------------------------------------------------

Piper had been in the hospital for nearly a week. The healing process was going well and because there were no signs of internal damage, the doctors had no problems with her going home. Although it had only been a few days, Piper struggled with not being allowed to go home. She had tried everything from begging to guilt trips to get her family to take her home and there had been many breakdowns for all of them. It was a relief in many ways to have her finally coming home.

"That was Leo," Prue announced as she put the phone back in its cradle. "They're on their way home." Phoebe breathed a sigh of relief.

"How is she?" asked Phoebe. Prue sat at the kitchen table across from Phoebe and grabbed a muffin out of the basket in the center of the table.

"From what I could hear," replied Prue as she peeled back the wrapper on the muffin. "She sounds fine. It sounded like she was dragging Leo outside." Both of them smiled.

"We should clean up a bit," Phoebe suggested. "We don't want Piper to do a whole lot for awhile." Prue nodded. They had at least twenty minutes until Leo and Piper would arrive, as traffic was quite heavy. Prue had left Piper's Cherokee at the hospital for Piper and Leo to drive home in. They didn't want to risk anyone catching Leo orb.

Phoebe began clearing the table and washed the dishes while Prue wandered around the house and put things away as she saw them. Once the house felt clean, Prue wandered back into the kitchen and helped Phoebe put the clean dishes away. They could both hear the sound of the front door open and close as well as Piper and Leo's voices.

Prue and Phoebe dropped what they were doing and ran to the front entrance. They nearly knocked Piper over as they ran to hug her.

"I'm so glad you're home," said Phoebe excitedly. She had her arms tightly wrapped around Piper and rested her chin on Piper's shoulder.

"Me too," said Piper. She had a huge grin spread across her face from the moment she walked out of the car. She had never been so happy to be back in the manor in her life.

Prue finally pulled away and smiled at Piper. Phoebe, however, refused to let go. Prue rolled her eyes, but continued to smile.

"All right," she said finally, pulling Phoebe away. "Let her breathe."

"Sorry," said Phoebe. She pulled away from Piper, but remained close by her side.

"Wow," said Piper. "The manor is still in one piece. I was sure we'd be coming home to a disaster."

"I would so take offense to that if I wasn't so happy you're back," said Prue. Piper grinned and looked back at Leo. He took her by the hand and led her toward the stairs.

"You need to get some rest," he said as he dragged Piper up the stairs. "You are not allowed to lift a finger for the next couple of weeks." Piper rolled her eyes.

"I've been stuck in bed for long enough already," said Piper. "I don't want to be treated any differently than normal. I just want to act like nothing ever happened."

"You wish," said Prue as she followed them upstairs. Phoebe watched her sisters walk up the stairs and breathed a sigh of relief. She had never been so relieved to have both of her sisters at home.
