Piper could not believe her ears. "I'm…I'm… what?"
"You're pregnant," repeated Dr. Morrison. "Congratulations!"
"Uh… thanks," Piper responded still shocked by the news. She quickly said good-bye to the doctor and hung up the phone.
Oh my God, she thought to herself, how could this happen, well, I know how this could happen, but I still didn't expect this. This is not a good time since we have to go against the source soon. Oh, how am I going to tell Leo?
Piper knew that she was going to have to tell both her husband and her sister soon, but she didn't know how. They are going to freak out. She couldn't even imagine their reactions. She walked into the family room where Leo and Paige were waiting for her. Well, it's either now or never.
"Who was that?" Paige asked before Piper had a chance to say anything. She looked over at Leo who appeared just as worried as Paige.
"That was the doctor," Piper answered trying to remain as calm as possible.
"And…" Paige asked.
"Well, I'm not sick," Piper replied weakly.
But Leo could tell that there was something Piper was not telling them. "Piper, what exactly did the doctor say?"
Piper could no longer avoid the truth. "I'm… I'm pregnant."
Both Leo and Paige became as shocked as Piper was. But Leo was the first to speak. "Piper, this is great."
Paige piped in, "Yeah Piper, this is wonderful. Wait," she glanced over at her sister, "what's the matter?"
"I know I should be happy," Piper stated, "but this is such a bad time, especially since we are going to have to fight the source soon and maybe Phoebe as well." Piper was on the verge of tears now.
"Piper, honey," Leo said rushing over to comfort her. "We can work through this."
"And what about Phoebe?" Piper asked. "What are we going to do about her? Vanquish her too?
"There still might be a chance to sway her back to our side," Paige added in. "The baby inside her has more influence over her than she realizes. Maybe when it's born she'll come back."
"You really think Phoebe is going to leave her husband and her child?" Piper demanded. "Don't you remember what happened last time?"
Piper knew that Paige really wanted to save their sister, but she didn't see any hope in convincing her to become good again. Phoebe had made up her mind and there was nothing either of them could do about it.
But Paige was still persistent, "Maybe Phoebe will think differently when she learns that you are pregnant."
"Piper," Leo then stated, "we are going to get through this. We will find a way to stop the source and you will give birth to a healthy baby. Everything is going to be okay. Trust me."
Piper went up to Leo and gave him a hug. Oh how she hope that he would be right.
