Piper poured herself a cup of coffee and sipped it she stared out the window wistfully she heard a noise behind her she flexed her fingers and turned but dropped them to her sides when she saw Paige and Phoebe with Kyle
"Your safe" she breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Paige suddenly a bright blue force field appeared from Wyatt's high chair and he eyed Paige darkly
"Wyatt Matthew Halliwell put that shield down Mr" Piper scolded he ignored her however and instead raised a hand the palm grew a bright green colour
"Wyatt!" Piper said in her best annoyed voice suddenly the light shot from his hand heading straight for Paige Phoebe pushed Paige out of it's path and the laser like beam skimmed along Phoebe's hand burning the skin she shrieked Piper turned furious
"Wyatt!" she was speechless
"It's fine Piper" Paige replied from the floor she picked herself up tiredly
"He just tried to kill you Paige"
"Oh I think you're over exaggerating slightly" Paige said but Wyatt's force field was still up
"Wyatt come on Buddy put it down" Phoebe stood inches from the blue shield
Until he lowered it nobody could get in not even Piper or Phoebe
"Paige maybe you should leave the room" Phoebe asked Paige swayed on her feet tiredly but nodded
"I'll be upstairs," she mumbled
"Wait Kyle you go with her I don't want anybody attacking her she looks tired enough already" Piper warned Kyle nodded he grasped Paige's upper arm but she pulled it away
"I'm not a baby" she snapped irritably but she didn't complain when he smiled and took her hand in fact she looked at him and returned the smile a little the two left and Wyatt's shield came down
"Pheeb's run your arm under the water seeing as we haven't got a whitelighter" Piper said her voice cracked a little but she held it together she would have to tell them eventually she knew that but just not now they had too much to deal with without her breaking apart
"Sure" Phoebe crossed to the sink and ran the faucet which blasted cold water onto the fast forming blister she winced but held it there
"Wyatt sweetie why did you hurt auntie Phoebe?" Piper picked up her eldest and cuddled him to herself
"Me was twyin to hitty annaty Paigy" Wyatt burbled Piper tried to keep the anger for her voice
"Why?" she asked again
"Baddies will come afty us" Wyatt replied "And Paigy one of them" he added Piper looked at Phoebe shocked
"All right Wyatt" Piper dropped him into the playpen and picked up her coffee again she swirled it around the cup
"How's Leo" Phoebe asked she had a hopeful cheery edge
"He's resting" Piper told her she blinked back tears Phoebe nodded and the room remained silent
"You had me worried" Kyle helped Paige up the stairs and into her bedroom she collapsed onto her bed and stretched before burrowing under the covers she wrapped them around herself and smiled
"I'm sorry"
"Why's you not come back?" he asked
"I wanted to but all these demons came they attacked me I hid and then I heard you guys"
"You heard what the Impulserian said? About it's baby"
"Not it's baby Kyle My baby whether we like it or not this baby is half of me" Paige's eyes filled with tears Kyle reached out a hand and wiped one away
"I'm not judging you" he promised
"I'm not ready to be a mother Kyle it's not like I can raise this baby either evil will always be a part of them no matter how much good their surrounded with" Paige buried her head into the pillows hopelessly
"Paige there's something else" Kyle looked at her she raised her eyes and peered at him
"If you give birth the world will be consumed by darkness we'll all die but if you don't the world will live"
"So what am I supposed to do just cross my legs and think of pretty things? It doesn't work that way Kyle"
"No I know it doesn't Kyle but"
"But nothing Kyle I think you should leave" Paige snapped she pulled the duvet tighter around herself
"But Piper told me-"
"I don't care I want you o leave just go, Get OUT!" she shouted now Kyle got up he left as the door closed behind him Paige reached out
"Glass" she motioned at the door and the glass shattered Kyle stopped behind the door he heard the glass shatter and then muffled sobbing he turned his hand traced the sign on the door painted in a baby pink colour surrounded by tiny stars were the words Paige's room he ran his finger over the words carefully he stood and listened to her sobbing wishing he could do something to stop her pain to take all that was hurting her away and to give her what she wanted he turned and walked down the stairs he came to the kitchen Piper and Phoebe sat in silence
"Hey" he stood in the doorframe
"I thought you where with Paige?" Phoebe asked she seemed glad someone had broken the silence
"She uh wants to be alone"
"Not surprising" Piper commented dryly
"Hey I don't understand all this how are we supposed to stop Paige having this baby I mean if she does the world will end"
"It already has" Piper whispered Phoebe fixed her with a confused look Piper met her eyes a tear rolled down one cheek looking out of place on her mask she'd been hiding behind
"Leo died before just as you guys arrived" she whispered Phoebe's eyes filled with tears and she stepped forward clutching Pipers hand in hers
"Sweetie" she hugged Piper Kyle looked uncomfortably he shifted slightly then crossed the middle of the kitchen he busied himself with making tea
"Are you alright? Wait stupid question" Phoebe was unsure of what to say to do
"He knew he was going Phoebe's he even got me to let him see the boys one last time then he told me he loved me and then he just slipped away" Piper whispered
"Leo's gone?" Paige asked she stood in the doorway a blanket pulled around her she looked devastated
Phoebe nodded
"Piper, I'm so sorry this is all my fault" Paige began but Piper held up a hand
"No Paige it's not anybody's fault" she held out a hand, which Paige took and hugged her
"What do we do now?" Phoebe asked
"We save Paige and we stay together"
"Of course we'll stay together" Paige cried
"Always and always" Phoebe sniffed
Piper nodded and Kyle just looked uneasily at them feeling slightly out of place
"C'mon we're not going to save you stood here crying" Piper wiped her eyes on her sleeve
"I don't need saving" Paige replied
"No but if you have that baby the world will end" Piper said
"And if I don't?" Paige asked
"Then it all goes back to normal" Piper tried hopefully Paige bit her lip
"What?" Phoebe asked she could tell Paige was holding something back
"This baby everybody's talking about getting rid of it saving me but your forgetting something! This is my baby too and she's part of your family too" Paige said angrily she knew Kyle was avoiding her eyes
"Yes but Paige" Phoebe began
"But nothing Piper if someone told you Wyatt would be a danger to the world would you get rid of him?" Piper understood what Paige meant and shook her head
"Paige it's not that simple though even if we let you have the baby the world will end you won't live to see her grow up!" Phoebe said
"No but at least I wouldn't have been responsible for her being vanquished or whatever your gonna do to her"
"Even Wyatt knows she's evil!" Phoebe argued
"Wyatt doesn't understand he doesn't get the full story"
"Maybe not but you told me he could sense good from Evil, well if he sensed something evil" Kyle tried
"You don't understand this Kyle your not apart of this! Your not apart of this world!" Paige shouted she was feeling a torrent of emotions and she couldn't figure them out but what she could figure out was that she'd just snapped at one of the people who was trying to help her suddenly she felt herself leaving as orbs gathered around her and she was gone
"where's she go?" Kyle asked he'd been fiddling with the teapot when Paige had orbed
Pipe shrugged she felt completely alone
"I'll go scry" Phoebe offered she left Kyle sat on the tabletop
"She didn't mean that" Piper told him
"I know it's just well she's confused right?" he asked Piper nodded
"Hold on a sec" Piper was thinking she looked up at the sky deep in thought
"Leo used to be able to here me when I shouted messages" she mumbled out loud
"Huh?" Kyle asked Piper held up her hand
"Elders! Elder person I need to talk to you!" she shouted
"Elders?" Kyle repeated
"Shush!" Piper held up another hand
"It's about the future!" she shouted and to her delight a figure orbed down
"You called?" the girl was tall and blonde and couldn't have been much older than nineteen she had beautiful blue eyes and a sparkling smile
"Who are you?" Kyle asked he was amazed having always been orbed and never seen anyone orb in or out before
"My name is Christelle and I'm a Whitelighter"
