Chapter 10:
"Paige, do you have a moment?" Phoebe asked after Piper had left for work. "Sure just let me finish this potion I'm working on and I'll come right down" "Thanks" Phoebe said as she went into the kitchen to get lunch. "So what did you want to talk about?" Paige asked as she came into the kitchen, "Uh…Right" Phoebe said as she stared into space. "Do you remember a little while ago when Piper told you about what happened while you were gone?" "Yeah, Why?" Paige asked as she moved about the kitchen not really paying attention. "Well, you know how Piper said that she just wanted to move on and forget about it?" "Yep" Paige nodded as she began to arrange the spice cabinets, "I don't think it's going to be quite that easy to move on anymore." "Why not?" Paige asked as she reached for a spice on the top rack. "You see" Phoebe said as she picked at her cuticle, "I uh, well" Paige turned to look at Phoebe, "Pheebs what are you trying to say?"
Looking at the floor Phoebe whispered, "I think I'm pregnant." Paige dropped that spice jar that she was holding and it shattered on the ground. "What! When did you find out?" "Well" said Phoebe, still whispering, "When I missed my period last week I started to get a little worried, so I decided to take the test just incase and well it turned out positive. I was hoping that maybe it was wrong but when I started feeling queasy I decided to take the test again, and I got the same result." Walking over to hug her sister Paige said, "Oh Pheebs" As Phoebe started to cry Paige asked, "You are going to tell Leo, right?" Sniffling Phoebe said, "I thought about it, but he and Piper are so happy about having kids of their own, and Piper's having trouble getting pregnant, I just don't want to be the one to ruin that again." Making Phoebe look at her Paige said, "It's not your fault that you slept with Leo, after all you were under a powerful demon's spell" Trying to smiling, but failing Phoebe said, "Yes but not only that but I also got pregnant when Piper couldn't four months ago, and you remember how that ended." "Yeah but Phoebe this baby is Leo's kid, not the spawn of the devil like the Source's baby" "I know that, and I'm going to keep the baby, in fact I'm going to see the doctor today. And I'm a bit scared so I wanted to see if you'd come with me. Please?" "Oh Phoebe, do you really think you have to ask? Of course I'll come" Smiling Phoebe said, "Thanks Paige" "You're welcome Phoebe, but you need to promise me something" "What?" "That you will tell Leo, even if not Piper, about the baby being his. Then you guys can decide to lie or tell the truth or whatever. Just tell him." Sighing Phoebe whispered, "All right Paige, you win."
