Meanwhile as Piper walked back upstairs she stopped just out of sight from the top when she saw Nancy's door open. Nancy looked up and down the hallway before she pulled her chair out the door. Wiping her eyes to clear her vision she headed straight into the bathroom closing the door behind her.

Piper moved from her hiding place when she heard the lock click. Running into Prue's room she handed her the aspirin and helped her lay down. Placing the wash cloth on Prue's head she told her she was going to change her cloths and would be back momentarily.

Walking into the hall she knew Nancy was still in the bathroom for her bedroom door was still wide open. Ducking inside Nancy's room she stood behind the door, out of the line of sight. Nancy came inside moments later, closing and re-locking the door. Spinning her chair around she almost screamed when Piper jumped out.

"Why are you in my room?"

"Didn't you hear us calling you earlier? Why have you been crying?"

"What makes you think I've been crying? I'm fine, now please leave me alone, I'm tired."

"Liar, now I'm not leaving until you talk to me."

"Fine then I'll leave."

Nancy spun her chair back around but Piper jumped in front of the door blocking Nancy's attempt to leave.

"Piper that's not fair."

"Tough. Start talking."

Nancy refused to speak anymore. She tried again to get past Piper but of course didn't succeed. Piper could tell Nancy was going to cry again as a single tear fell down her cheek. Piper bend down to Nancy's level and grabbed the arm rests on Nancy chair to prevent her from going anywhere.

"Come on Nan, talk to me. I love you and…"

"You do?"

"I do what?"

"Love me?"

"Of course I do. What would make you doubt that now?"

"It's just, well after what happened this afternoon, I thought you might be mad at me. Then you weren't here when I woke up, and…"

"Honey, listen to me. I love you, nothing can, or will ever make me stop loving you. I thought I had made that perfectly clear."

"You did, it's just, well Prue said…"

"Prue? What happened to Mom?"

"I don't deserve to call her Mom, I hurt her, she said so. I'm not even sure what I did, but she said it."

"When?"

"Earlier this evening. After I woke up, Owen told me what happened, but I didn't believe him. I mean what are the odds of Phoebe, Mom….I mean Prue, and me getting hurt on the same day. I decided to connect with her, and no sooner had I arrived in her head when she told me to get out. She said I hurt her and to leave."

"Nancy, first of all as for this afternoon, I know you didn't mean any of what you were saying. You were in pain, and I didn't want to do what I did, but I had to be strong, I knew it was what was best for you. Second, Prue was and is hurt. Do you remember when you hurt your head?"

"Sure, that's not something you forget easily."

"Well when Prue was hurt she hit her head, and was knocked unconscious. Prue has a concussion, and they were monitoring her vital signs. Lucy wasn't going to let her come home unless her vital signs were stable. When you entered her mind, it caused her head to hurt, and her heart started racing, her pulse increased, she was not showing the signs of a stable person. If she didn't get you out fast she wouldn't have been able to come home."

"Why didn't she just tell me that?"

"There was no time. Just as you left, Lucy walked in. She wanted to tell you, but there just wasn't time honey. You have to believe me. Why do you think we came to your room as soon as we got home. Prue wanted to explain it to you. She knew you were upset."

"How did she know?"

"Mothers always seem to know when their kids are upset, even from miles away. Now why don't you come with me, Prue won't sleep easy until she can see your face."

"If your sure that's all it was."

"I'm positive. Come and see for yourself."

Piper gave Nancy a hug then turned around unlocked the door and led the way to Prue's room. Opening Prue's door she could tell that Prue was trying to sleep, but not having much success.

"Prue, you up for a visitor? Someone wants to say goodnight."

"Sure."

Piper pushed the door open and stood out of the way for Nancy to come inside. Prue's eyes came to life as she forgot about her own head and leaped toward Nancy. She began to hug her so tight, trying to reassure both Nancy and herself that they were alright.

"Nancy, I am so, so, sorry."

"Forget about it Mom. Piper explained everything. You shouldn't be out of bed just yet. Get back under those covers right now."

Piper smiled, both at hearing Nancy give orders to Prue, and at hearing Nancy call Prue Mom. She exited the room deciding to give them some privacy and to change her cloths before checking on Phoebe.

"Mom, are you really alright? How did this happen? Did someone, or something attack you?"

"Slow down. Yes I'm really alright. Yes something attacked me."

"But Piper said…"

"Relax, the only something, that attacked me was an oversized painting. It fell on me and knocked me out cold. Don't worry so much. Jack was there, he took care of me. Lucy says I'll be good as new in a few day, just no jumping into my mind for a few day, alright."

"Well, alright. Only in an emergency."

"Deal. Now how about you, how are you?"

"I'm good, just a little sore, but no damage done."

"Piper told me how you had to get both you and Phoebe home in your chair. That couldn't have been easy."

"It wasn't, but I did it, and I don't think I'll be trying it again anytime soon."

"Good, I'm going to speak to Phoebe as well."

"Don't do that. She feels bad enough. Beside Owen says she has to have pain shots to take care of the problem. I know she hates needles as much as I do, she's being punished enough."

"Well alright. Did you eat dinner?"

"Wasn't hungry, but I will. You want anything?"

"No thanks honey, no food. I'm going to sleep a little, you go downstairs and eat. Piper has to wake me up all night to make sure I'm…"

"Mom, I've been though this too remember. She needs to make sure you're sleeping and not slipping into a coma. I'm alright with that. Get some rest, I'm sure it'll be the last bit at least for tonight."

"Get out of here little miss smarty pants, and make sure you eat. Don't make me worry about you too."

"I won't."

Nancy hopped off Prue's bed and back into her chair, clicked off Prue's light and headed out the door. Meeting Piper in the hall she could tell it was time to bust Piper.

"So Nan, want some dinner."

"Yes, but I'll make it, you need to go to bed."

"Why?"

Before she could answer the phone rang and Piper answered it.

"Hello…Hi Chad…Sure, just make it quick, it's kind of late."

Handing the phone to Nancy Piper went into the bathroom to wash her face some more.

"Hi Chad."

"Hi, so how was your day?"

"Very funny. You don't know the half of what went on today."

After telling Chad about the family, she was exhausted of talking. It was like one long sentence, she forgot to take a breath.

"Wow when it rains it pours. I guess you won't be doing the hills anytime soon."

"Alright, if you want to hear it. You were right, I was wrong. Satisfied, and by the way thanks for the books."

"No problem. Listen, I have to get going it's kind of late, I just wanted to make sure you were alright. I'll call you tomorrow."

"Sounds good, just not too early. Bye."

Hanging up the phone she placed it back on the charger not even realizing she was smiling from ear to ear, and giggling to herself.

"You really like him don't you?"

"Piper you scared me, don't do that, but to answer your question, yes I do."

"Well I'm glad because I know how much Prue likes him too. For a Halliwell to find someone who is actually good enough for Prue to approve doesn't come along that often, so don't lose him."

"I won't, now go to bed."

"Why?"

"Piper you hugged me, I can tell when someone has a fever."

"Nancy, I'm fine, I can make you dinner. Wait, you didn't tell Prue did you?"

"Do you see her standing in the hall with me? You know she would be right here if she knew you were getting sick, but if you don't go to bed and let me watch Mom tonight, I will tell her."

"You can't look after Prue all night. You need your sleep."

"It's the weekend, besides I slept all day thanks to that horrendous shot. I'll wake you if I get too tired, go to bed."

"What about your dinner, and what if Phoebe needs…"

"I can handle it, I'm a big girl. I can re-heat some of last nights spaghetti."

"Alright, if you promise to wake me…"

"The second I need help…GO!"

Piper breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't know how she would have done it all night, watching both Phoebe, and Prue. She still was unsure, but could see the Halliwell stubbornness coming out of Nancy, and knew not to argue anymore. Kissing Nancy on top the head she stopped in the bathroom once again before heading off to the confines of her warm bed.

Nancy did just as she said, she re-heated some dinner for herself, and brought some up to Phoebe as well. Phoebe was grateful for the food, and fell fast asleep soon after. Nancy washed the dinner plates as best she could, then headed upstairs and into Prue's room.
