The next day, Paige was up before Phoebe. Paige wasn't normally an early riser, but every once in a she did. She didn't sleep well because of Prue not being with her, so she ventured downstairs where she heard the sounds of babies babbling.

As Paige headed downstairs, she thought about how 'Mama Prue' told her to listen to Piper in her absence, but Prue never said anything about listening to Phoebe if both Prue and Piper were separated from them. Paige didn't think it would be a big deal if she left the bedroom that she and Phoebe had slept in.

"Oh good morning Paige." Sadie greeted as she looked up at the toddler.

"Hi." Paige mumbled. She kissed the babies' heads, "Good morning Seren and Levy." The babies' names were Leven and Serenity.

Paige may be two years older than the babies, but she has always been such as sweetheart. She is kind to everyone, especially babies.

At the hospital with Prue and Piper, Prue had to be sedated because she was freaking out without her sisters. She wasn't used to being separated from her sisters, and furthermore, she didn't like it. Piper was in her room sleeping peacefully, while heavily sedated with pain meds. Kenneth and Kimberly were in a lot of pain, and the pain made it so that they couldn't sleep. Kenneth wanted to tough it out. He wanted to be in control of his faculties in case one of his sisters needed him. He felt that as the big brother and the oldest, it was his duty to look out for them, now that their parents were gone in the blind of one eye. Kimberly, however, was so miserable and in so much pain that she had to call the doctor to ask for pain meds.

"How can I help you?" The doctor asked as she walked into the room

"Pain." Was the only word that Kimberly uttered as she thought, 'I want my mommy.'

The doctor nodded, "Okay. I can give you a little bit more of the pain med."

"Where's my family?" Kimberly asked through a painful, laboured breath

The doctor shook her head, "Your parents died on impact. Your brother and two of your sisters are in the hospital. The youngest two sisters are fine. They went to a new foster home."

"I want to see Prue and Piper." Kimberly said

"Not quite yet." The doctor replied

Kimberly insisted, "They need me."

"You need more time to recover. Your injuries are more extensive than theirs."

Kimberly sighed as she just admitted defeat. With parents were dead and her whole family was split apart, she knew that her sisters needed her, but there wasn't anything that she could do. The pain was unbearable. Even trying to sit up hurt. Probably because of the broken ribs that the doctor said she had. Her head was also throbbing from her concussion, but it didn't affect her short-term memory. Just her long-term memories. Things from life before her sisters.

'Could this day get any worse?' Kimberly thought, 'Yesterday was supposed to be adoption day for Prue, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige. They were supposed to have a forever family. What would happen to them now? What would happen to her and Kenny?'

Kristopher and Jacqueline McGee were on the older side when Kenneth and Kimberly were born. There were no grandparents to take Kimberly or Kenneth in. Jacqueline only have one sister and she was bat-shit crazy. Kristopher had two older sisters, but they were in their seventies and living in retirement homes. Kimberly and Kenneth were orphans now. They had no one except each other and the four girls that they had called their sisters for a year.

Meanwhile at the Galvan residence, upstairs with Phoebe, she woke up and looked around to find Paige gone. She started to freak out thinking that she had already failed the mental promise she had made to Prue. The promise to protect Paige and take care of her just as Prue had always taken care of them, and she intended on keeping that promise just as Prue always had.

Phoebe ran quickly down the stairs where she found Paige sitting and laughing as she played with their foster mother and her baby twins. Phoebe gave a sigh of relief as she rushed over to her baby sister, hugging her tightly.

"Paigy, if you run off without telling me I can't keep my promise to Mama. I can't protect you."

Paige gave a nod as she hugged Phoebe back, nuzzling her head into her older sister's neck. "Sorry, Phee."

"It's okay. I'm glad you're safe." Phoebe replied as she hugged her baby sister.

"Come play with me and the babies, Phee." Paige urged

Phoebe smiled, "Okay."

"Good morning, Phoebe." Sadie greeted, "How'd you sleep?"

"Fine." Phoebe grumbled.

Phoebe wasn't in the mood for small talk or getting to know her new foster parents. As soon as Prue and Piper were better, she and Paige would be moved to a new foster home where all of them would be together. Getting comfortable here in this foster house isn't worth the heartache.

"Well Paige already ate, but would you like something to eat." Sadie offered

Phoebe shrugged, "I guess. How about some eggs and a glass of milk."

Sadie smiled, "Okay. Coming right up." She got up and headed into the kitchen.

"This is Serenity." Paige introduced Phoebe to the girl baby. Then she pointed out the boy baby, "And this is Leven."

"Nice to meet you Serenity and Leven." Phoebe said as she picked up some baby stacking rings and played with Paige and her baby foster siblings.

This wasn't what Phoebe wanted to be doing, but if it made Paige happy she would do it. She would do anything to make Paige happy in Prue's absence. The separation from Prue was hard enough on Phoebe, which meant it's probably harder on Paige for Prue is the only real mother that she has even known.
