Chapter 4

Mother's Day - Morning

Phoebe woke up early in the morning and walked down the stairs to the kitchen, she will make her mom a breakfast-in-bed. That was part of her plan. 'This will work. I'm sure of it! Yes!' she smiles with so much excitement in her heart. But when she got there, the smile on her face disappeared, Piper and Prue, with Grams, were already there, doing what she was exactly planning to do. 'Part 1, erased.' She just sighed and asked though she knew, "Hey, What are you doing?"

"Good morning, Pheebs. We are making mom a special breakfast!" Piper said proudly.

"Special huh?" Phoebe said picking up a cookie that's already on the tray. But when she was about to eat it, "Hep, hep, hep! That's for mom!" Prue slapped her hand and the cookie fell down to the floor. There was a quiet moment in the kitchen, all of them looking at the fallen cookie.

Phoebe breaking the silence said. "Now, it's for the floor. It doesn't look delicious anyway." She just smirked at Prue with crossed arms across her chest and left, kicking the fallen cookie on the way.

"Prue, you didn't have to do that! Phoebe, wait!" Piper ran after Phoebe, knowing that her sister's upset.

"She's such a brat!" Prue said rolling her eyes.

"Prue! You rudely stopped her from eating just one cookie." Grams said clearly justifying Phoebe's reaction. Prue just looked at her Grams with shock and disappointment that Grams sided with Phoebe.

In Phoebe's room, Phoebe just sat on her bed with a pissed-off look on her face. 'Everytime I plan on something. someone always has to ruin it.' Then she stood up and took her Mother's Day card out from her drawer. 'You're my only hope. Please work.' Then a knock on the door and the soft voice of her sister interrupted her train of thought

"Phoebe? Can I come in?" Piper asked. Phoebe just hid the card under a pillow in her bed.

"Yes. Come in." she answered as Piper entered her room.

"Are you ok? I'm sorry about what happened earlier. Prue was just…" Piper trailed off obviously looking for the right words.

"She's just what, Piper? Anyway, what else is new? We're never gonna get close. We are so opposite, cat and dog, black and white, hot and cold. Clearly not the combination for sisters."

"You will get close. Someday. Maybe so close to the point when you wouldn't want to let go of each other." Piper said with a smile, reassuring her, then she sat over a pillow beside Phoebe, hugged her sister.

"I hope you're right." Phoebe just leaned into Piper.

"I'm sure. Now, enough of that sister issues. Let's go to mom's room, we'll surprise her!" Piper said excitedly.

Then Phoebe, suddenly remembering where she put her card pulled Piper off the bed. "Piper!"

"What?" Piper asked confused.

"Uhmm… why don't you go to her first? I'll be there, in a minute. Promise." Phoebe said quickly ushering her sister out of the room.

"Ok. If you say so. Hurry!" Piper left, confused about Phoebe's sudden behaviour.

Phoebe sighed in relief and took the card from under the pillow, when she saw that it's still fine, a little crumpled, but fine, 'Thank God. That was close. Well, time to give you to mom. Please help me.'

Then she went to her parent's room, but stopped when she overheard a conversation, took a peak, just stood beside the door, she saw her sister, Piper, in the arms of their mother on the bed. Prue, in the arms of their father, on the couch.

"And I helped Grams in baking the cookies. Try it, mom." Piper took a cookie from the plate and offered it to her mom.

"Really? Are you sure this is good?" Patty said trying to act as if she doesn't believe Piper, giving her husband a wink over Piper's head, Prue and Victor just laughed.

"Just try it mom." Piper insisted. Patty just bit into the cookie that Piper's outstretch arm was trying to put into her mouth.

"Hmm… this is really good. Where did you buy this?"

"Mom!" Piper pouted putting her hands on her hips.

"I'm just kidding, my angel! It's really yummy. Like you!" Patty laughed and hugged Piper tightly and showered her with kisses. And all of them laughed.

"I love you so much, mommy." Piper said kissing Patty and hugging her. Prue then hopped onto the bed, "Me too, love you, mom. Mwah!" as Prue kissed her, both of the sisters hugging their mother tightly.

"I love you more, angels. I'm the luckiest mom!" Victor, too, said, "Me too mommy! I love you" kissing Patty on the lips. Piper and Prue just covered their eyes.

Then Victor, sensed that someone's outside the room, as he looked over, Phoebe was already leaving with a colorful paper in hand. Victor excused himself, left the room, and went to Phoebe's room. He saw his youngest sitting on her bed, staring at the paper in her hand. Victor sat beside her quietly and asked, "Can I?" reaching for the card in Phoebe's hand.

What he saw touched his heart. There was an image of a crown made with gold glitters and a red cape, worn by a drawing of a woman. At the center-top of the card says, "World Greatest Mom Pageant". At the bottom image says, "And the crown goes to…" inside the card….

"Patty Halliwell!"

Dearest Mom,

Happy, happy Mother's Day, Mommy!

Mom, I'm sorry if I'm always disappointing you. I have never been a good daughter to you, I'm sorry. But I'm trying, mom. I'm trying really hard to get close to you like Piper. But everytime I try to reach out for you, you start to reach out for Piper, not for me, never for me. I miss you so much, mommy. I envy Piper for having a weak heart, because you always treat her differently. Don't be mad, but sometimes I wanted to be sick too, maybe then I would feel your love. I'm not asking for too much, just a taste of an undivided love and attention from you. I want to know you, I want you to know me. Please let me. Mommy, please love me. That's all I want to hear, an "I love you" from you.

I love you so much.

Phoebe 

As Victor finished reading the card, Phoebe bowed her head, Victor looked closely at his daughter, he noticed the tears streaming down her face, and just pulled her into a tight hug. "Oh baby…" he just let her cry, and just rubbed her back.

As he sensed his daughter's cry subsided. He let go of her, tilted her head upward, and told her sternly, "Give this to mommy. Go to her right now. Ok? Don't be afraid. She will understand everything."

Phoebe just nodded, that was her plan, to give the card to her mother, but when she saw how affectionate her mother and Piper towards each other, her faith faltered, she seems to back out and just withdraw her plans. 'Dad thinks it's ok. Maybe it is.'

In Patty's room, Phoebe knocked quietly. "Come in." she heard her mother said. She hesitated to enter but Victor, behind her whispered, "Go on. It's gonna be ok. I'll be here outside." As he gently pushed her inside the room.

Patty was in front of the vanity closet, brushing her hair, when she noticed Phoebe in the room. "Phoebe, what are you doing here?" Patty said facing her daughter. Seeing her daughter so quiet, she asked gently. "What is it? Tell me."

Phoebe just presented her mother the card and sat in her parents' bed waiting for her mother's reaction. Patty out of curiosity just read the card, every word wrenching her heart and soul, making her feel guilty about everything her youngest have been feeling. Like someone slapped her, and brought her back to reality. Patty looked up at her daughter, both have tears in their eyes. Patty knelt in front of Phoebe, stroking her hair, wiping off the tears, and said, "Phoebe, honey, I do love you. I should be the one saying sorry. I'm sorry baby, if I made you feel that way." Patty hugged her daughter with so much intensity. Phoebe just smiled through her tears. "I'm sorry. I love you so much, Phoebe. Please forgive me. I've been so numb and blind about everything but Piper, I forgot that I have two other daughters who need me. Oh baby, I'm sorry. I love you."

"I love you too, mommy." Phoebe said with so much relief, hugged her mother tightly, and closed her eyes to savour the moment and sighs. 'Finally, 'I've been waiting for this for so long.' She thought.

Victor smiled as he watched his wife and his youngest angel caress and hug each other with so much love and passion, for the first time. He whispered, "You're gonna be ok, Phoebe."

You think this is it? Think again.

A/N: I know Phoebe's message was somewhat deep for a 4 yr old to write. But I think those words are just touching. Anyway, in the next chapters, I'm gonna start giving you glimpse Phoebe's angst towards Piper. How will it happen? Just watch out for it. It's gonna be great! Now let me know what u think of this chap.

Review… come on, do it, I know you want to. GO.
