Notes; Thank you so much Maartjuhhh, CharmzB, SupernaturalKnight88, ForeverCharmed109 and charmedcrazy14 for the reviews and suggestions for songs, I looked up the lyrics and I agreed that the songs were good, but not quite what I was looking for, so in stead I've used two bits of the lyrics from Sarah Mclachlan's song ''World on fire''. Anyway I'm really glad with the positive reactions, here's chapter 1, it's not that long, though but the following chapter will be longer, I promise.
Disclaimer; I dare you to make me say it.
Chapter 01 – Crying won't help you now.
''Come on Wyatt, you'll be late for the party if you don't hurry up, honey.'' Piper Halliwell told her oldest son while helping him into his dark green rain jacket. ''I got the present!'' Wyatt exclaimed with a big grin plastered on his small face. Piper smiled at him and nodded, ''I know you do Sweety, I'm sure Tim will like his train.'' She zipped his jacket up picked his shoes up.
It had been raining all night and the rain still hadn't stopped yet.
She was getting Wyatt ready to go to the birthday party of his friend Tim. Together they had bought him a nice present yesterday and Wyatt had been eager to give it to Tim ever since.
Just as Wyatt was about to put his little foot into one of his shoes the front door opened and a small, soaked frame walked into the hall. Piper looked up, ''Paige?'' she asked a little surprised. Paige closed the door behind her and pushed the hood of her jacket back, revealing her wet face. The thing was though, that he face wasn't wet from the rain, it was red from the tears she had been crying in the car earlier. Her red rimmed eyes were full of worry and the looked scared.
''Auntie Paige!'' Wyatt called out happily. He left his mother with the shoe still in her hand and ran towards his aunt. Paige smiled slightly and kneeled down to give her nephew a hug, ''Hey baby.'' She said, taking him into a warm embrace and kissing his cheek softly. Wyatt wrapped his small arms around her neck and smiled, ''I'm going to Tim's party!'' he told her proudly, he looked at her and Paige stroked his hair. ''That's nice Wyatt, did you buy him anything nice?'' she asked as she let go of him. ''A train.'' Wyatt told her, the grin still plastered to his face.
''Sweety what's going on? Did you and Henry have a fight?'' Piper got up and looked at her son who seemed really happy to be seing his youngest aunt again.. ''Go play in the sunroom, Wyatt. I'll be right there.'' Piper told him gently.
Wyatt nodded and instantly ran off to play with his firetruck.
The minute Wyatt had disappeared Piper turned her attention back to her babysister who looked like she could burst into tears again any moment. ''Piper I..They..-'' she took a shaky breath and let her teeth bite down on her bottom lip. Piper walked towards her, ''It's okay, Paige. Take your jacket off first and then we'll sit down so you can tell me what happened.'' She said, tucking some of her long brown hair behind her ear.
Paige nodded slowly and unzipped her jacket, she let Piper slide it off her shoulders and then followed her big sister into the kitchen.
Piper pulled a chair out for her and walked over to the counter to get Paige a glass of water. Paige carefully took place on the hard wooden chair and watched as her sister walked back towards the dinnertable and put the glass of water down in front of Paige. She pulled out a chair for herself and sat down, a worried look on her face. ''Now tell me what happened Paige.'' She spoke softly, placing a warm hand upon Paige's pale arm.
Paige looked up at her older sister and took a deep breath, ''Piper they've found a lump in one of my breasts. They think it might be breast cancer.''
//hearts
are worn in these dark ages
you're not alone in this story's
pages
the light has fallen amongst the living and the dying
and
I'll try to hold it in
yeah I'll try to hold it in//
Piper paused before she replied, taking in the shocking news. Breast cancer? But her baby-sister was only 28, no she couldn't have breast cancer, she just couldn't have it. ''I – Paige, Oh my God, honey.'' She faltered over her own words and looked a little helpless. The tears started running down Paige's cheeks again.
''Piper, breast cancer. What am I gonna do? What am I gonna tell Henry? I promised him we would start trying for babies and now I get this news and what if he's going to leave me? Do you know how many men leave their wife's when they get breast cancer?'' She rushed through her sentence, clearly upset and scared.
Piper shook her head, tears starting to form in her eyes, ''Don't think like that Paige. You don't know for sure yet, when do the doctors have the results?'' she asked taking a deep breath. Paige shook her head, showing that she couldn't reply because of the sobs that were racking her body.
''Oh honey.'' Piper got off her seat and wrapped her sister in a warm hug, ''It's gonna be okay. I promise you you'll be fine.'' She kissed Paige's cheek softly and closed her eyes. She knew she was only saying this to comfort Paige and it seemed to work, but Piper actually doubted what she said herself.
''God today was the worst day ever, I'm so working from home tomorrow I don't care what Elise says, I mean look at my hair it's totally rui-ned..''
Phoebe stopped her rant as she walked into the kitchen and noticed Piper comforting a crying Paige, ''Guys what's going on?'' she asked curiously, walking over to them leaving a trail of raindrops that fell from her hair all across the floor.
Piper looked up and didn't bother to get angry about the mess that Phoebe obviously didn't notice she was leaving. ''The doctors found a lump in one of her breats, Pheebs.'' She explained quietly, her voice sounded stretched, full of emotion. Phoebe looked from Piper to Paige, a little confused until the meaning of it hit her. ''Breast cancer?'' she asked softly. Piper nodded in reply.
''Could be.''
Phoebe could feel a knot forming in her stomach and her hand flew to her mouth, ''Oh my God.'' She whispered. Paige looked up at her middle sister, wiping the tears from her cheeks. She got to her feet and let Phoebe hug her tightly. ''I'm sorry Sweety, but you'll be fine. You've got to be fine.'' Phoebe rubbed her back gently and bit back her tears. Paige nodded slightly and let out a heavy sigh, ''Can I stay here?'' she whispered. ''Here at the Manor? Of course as long as you want Paige.'' Phoebe replied, letting go of her baby-sister. ''What about Henry?''
Piper put her hand on Paige's shoulder and looked at Phoebe. ''I can't face him alone.'' Paige said, wrapping her arms around herself. ''I'll call him, tell him to bring some clothes and ask him if he's okay with staying here, at least until the doctors know more, okay?'' Phoebe offered.
Paige nodded slightly in reply.
//watch the
heavens but I find no calling
something I can do to change what's
coming
stay close to me while the sky is falling
I don't wanna
be left alone, don't wanna be alone//
''Mommy coming to party?'' Wyatt's innocent voice sounded when he walked into the kitchen. The three sisters looked up and a small smile spread over Piper's face at the sight of her son. ''I have to take Wyatt to Tim, will you two be okay for a while?'' she looked at Paige and Phoebe who both nodded bravely. Piper moved a strand of Paige's dark hair out of her face and gave her a supportive smile.
''You'll be fine.'' She glanced at Phoebe and then walked over to Wyatt, taking his small hand within hers. ''Bye auntie Paige!'' Wyatt said and he waved enthusiastically at her. Paige let out a small laugh and waved back at her little nephew when he walked out of the kitchen with his mother.
Phoebe let a small sigh escape her mouth and turned to Paige who gave her a weak smile, ''I'm so glad to have sisters, you know. I wouldn't know what I'd do without you.'' She told Phoebe. Phoebe gave her a small smile back and picked up the glass of water that had been standing on the table, ''Drink some of this Sweety, then we'll let Henry know that you're here otherwise he might get worried.''
Paige nodded and took the glass of water that Phoebe handed to her, now you could clearly see how badly her hands were shaking. Phoebe wrapped her arm around her sister's shoulder and they walked out of the kitchen to phone Henry and to let him know what was going on.
