Hey guys! Thanks so much for the reviews! I really appreciate them all. Also, anonymous reviews are now welcome. I finally figured out how to change that. Sorry that the chapter is so short. I promise it's leading up to something.


"You disgraceful slut." Phoebe lashed out.

"Go to hell." Piper spun around and angrily stomped out of her bedroom. Phoebe hurriedly followed her into the hall.

"Don't walk away from me, Piper." She continued. "Piper!" Phoebe yelled.

Piper stopped and stood still, her back to her sister. She was fuming. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, swallowed and slowly turned around to face her lover's ex-wife. She stared icily at her sister.

"Do you have any idea what you're doing?" Phoebe said, rather than asked. Her voice was soft and flat. Cold. Piper simply glared at her with intense amber eyes. Phoebe took a step closer to Piper. They were now standing within arms length of each other. Paige stood hesitantly in Piper's doorway watching the dispute.

"Do you?" She continued. "Did you think at all? About Leo? About any of us?" She shook her head and lowered her eyes disparagingly looking Piper over. Piper pursed her lips and clenched her jaw. Phoebe flung her arms in the air and turned to leave but stopped.

"You make me sick! Sick!" She turned around and spat at Piper. "How can you be so selfish?" She muttered scathingly.

"I'm selfish?" Piper asked. Her tone filled with venom. "I'm the selfish one? My entire life, everything has been about Phoebe. What will make Phoebe happy? What's wrong with Phoebe? Why is Phoebe acting up? You were constantly upsetting Grams! Always. You never let up. You didn't care. You didn't care about anyone but yourself. You had your chance Phoebe! You had him. You ruined it. Your ruined him. His entire life! You ruined ours!"

"Stop it." Phoebe murmured but Piper continued. Everything. Every moment of pent up anger spilled out.

"You tortured him Phoebe. Playing with his heart. Is it any wonder he got sick of your stupid games? And you betrayed him. When he needed you the most. And when all he wanted was to be put out of his misery you couldn't even oblige. And for what? Why? Because you always have to win. But you betrayed us too Phoebe! You turned your back on us! And I'm the selfish one? We did everything. Everything we could to be there for you. He saved our lives. He took on evil for us! For you! Paige knew. She tried to tell you and all you did was demean her. You couldn't even appreciate what he did for you. Do you think it was easy for him? To take on the evil? After being good? You have no idea what he's been through!"

"Oh, and you do?' Phoebe remarked.

"Actually, yes. I do. I know how much he had to sacrifice Phoebe because I have too. We all have." She glanced at Paige who lowered her eyes. "For you. Because it's always about Phoebe isn't it?"

"No." Phoebe was nearly shaking with hurt and anger.

"No? Prue died Phoebe! She died! Or don't you get that? She died while you were off frolicking in the underworld."

"No." She closed her eyes.

"Yes. You weren't here! We needed you! And you weren't there. You weren't there and she died. She's dead!" Piper inhaled and lowered her voice. "Because of you."

Phoebe's eyes flung open and before she knew it her hand was connecting with Piper's face. Piper felt the stinging blow. It was hard and cold. She was taken off balance and took a step backwards. Her neck had snapped to side with the impact. Her hand had instantly flown to her stinging cheek. Slowly she pulled her hand away from her face and looked up, through the hair in her eyes, to her sister. She was stunned silent. As she pulled her hand away she saw blood on her hands and licked her lips. She tasted the coppery liquid. Her lip was split. Phoebe's eyes widened and she turned on her heel and down the hall. Piper stood there. Stunned. Motionless. She felt her split lip heal and knew it was the baby's doing. The entire room was distorted from the tears in her eyes. Suddenly she felt Paige take her arm and slowly lead her down the hall to her room.
