Disclaimer; Ah shut up.

02. Here for you.

Paige was sitting on the couch, a warm blanket wrapped around her shoulders and a cup of steaming hot chocolate in her hands. She was staring at the wall in front of her, a blank look in her eyes. Piper was sitting next to Paige, also a up of steaming hot chocolate in her hands, but in stead of staring blankly at the wall she was watching her baby-sister with a bit of a worried look in her eyes.

Paige hadn't said anything since she had returned from taking Piper to Tim's party. Phoebe and Piper had given her a blanket to warm up a bit from the rain and Phoebe had phoned Henry. Now they were just waiting for him to arrive at the Manor, with clothes for both himself and his wife.

''Do you think the Elders would be able to heal me?'' Paige suddenly asked. Piper jumped slightly and the sudden sound of Paige's voice. ''Paige, don't think like that now. You always stay positive remember? You're a fighter and you've always been healthy maybe that lump means nothing.'' Phoebe told her sister from where she was sat.

Paige merely shrugged at her comment and took a sip from her hot chocolate. She had heard of enough women who had survived breast cancer, but dying wasn't her least concern. She was more scared of the therapies she would have to go through, the chemo's and all the medication she would have to take.

She had heard that a lot of women felt dizzy and nauseaus from the chemos and she definitely didn't want to lose her hair.

Piper and Phoebe exchanged looks when the doorbell rang. ''I'll get it, that must be Henry.'' Phoebe said. She got to her feet and walked out of the livingroom.

Henry pressed the doorbell another time impatiently. Phoebe had sound really serious over the phone and when he had asked what was going on she had told him that he need to come over and bring some clothes, because Paige wanted to stay at the Manor for a while.

Just as he was about to press the doorbell again, the door opened and Phoebe appeared in the doorway. ''Henry, hey you're here.'' She said.

Henry nodded and kissed Phoebe's cheek, ''I brought the clothes, what's going on is Paige okay?'' he asked, walking into the hallway as Phoebe stepped aside.

''She's in the livingroom and I think she's feeling a little better now.''

She closed the front door behind Henry and followed him as he made his way into the livingroom. ''Paige?''

Paige looked up and a weak smile played on her lips when she saw her husband entering the room. He dropped the bag next to the couch and took place next to her on the couch. ''What's going on baby? Phoebe said I had to come over and that you wanted to stay here and – '' Paige cut him off. ''I have breast cancer.'' She told him.

Piper quickly got to her feet, ''She may have breast cancer, the doctor's have found a lump in her breast, but they aren't sure yet.'' She added to Paige's explanation.

Henry blinked a few times and looked from Piper, to Phoebe and then to Paige, he felt as though his world was falling apart.

He saw the scared and worried look in Paige's eyes and wrapped his arm around her, pulling her closer to his body.

''It will be okay. I'm here for you.'' Is all he said, causing Paige to let out a sigh of relief. He wasn't going to leave her, he would never do something like that. She hated herself for doubting Henry. He was the sweetest, most caring guy she had ever met and he didn't give up easily.

''Thank you.'' She whispered, pressing her cheek against his broad chest and letting him comfort her.

Piper looked at Phoebe who was stood watching the couple with tears in her eyes, she gave her a small smile and gestured that they should leave them alone for a while. Phoebe immediately understood and together they left the room quietly.

Henry kissed the top of Paige's head softly and rubbed her back, ''When are you going back baby? When do they know more?'' he asked.

Paige sighed slightly and closed her eyes, ''Next week.'' She replied and smiled slightly when Henry took her hand within his. He gave it a gentle squeeze and pulled with his other hand the blanket further over her shoulders. ''You're gonna be okay.''

That night Paige was laying in bed watching her husband, Henry sleep. He breathed deeply and shifted onto his side, his face turned towards Paige. Paige smiled slightly and stroked his hair careful not to wake him up.

''What would I do without you baby?'' she whispered quietly and she leaned in to place a soft kiss on his cheek.

He pulled a small face, but then continued to sleep peacefully. Paige watched him for a few seconds longer and then sat up, pushing the red covers off of herself and getting to her feet. She stepped into her slippers and picked her dressing gown up from the chair in the corner of the bedroom.

She pulled it on and shivered slightly when the cold silky fabric touched the skin of her arms. I wonder if I will be around long enough to give Henry a son. She thought to herself and made her way over to the desk that was standing in front of the window slowly.

She wasn't a person who thought about the future a lot. Paige was more the kind of person that lived day by day without wondering what the next day held for her, or the next week, maybe even the next year, but ever since she had found out that she might have breast cancer that had changed. Paige kept wondering how long she still had left to live. How much time she would have left to spend with her family and she aslo wondered what would finally take her life. A demon attack? A heart attack? A natural death or breast cancer? Maybe some other serious illness.

I need to start living healthier. She thought and decided that she would start with that first thing in the morning. Paige took place on the chair at the desk and opened the upper drawer of it. She carefully took a large, old photo album out and placed it upon the desk, wiping the dust off of it with her hand. It was the old family photo-album. They had always kept it in Paige's room, because that was the room which was least attacked by demons and this way the photo-album had the most chance of remaining in one piece.

Paige opened it carefully and flicked to the last pages. Pictures of her and her sisters. She ran her hand down the page softly and blinked quickly when she felt the sting of tears in her eyes.

Piper stepped out of the shower. Her hand stretched out and touched a soft white towel. She picked it up and wrapped it around her body tightly, instantly she felt her body become warmer. She threw her long wet hair over her shoulder and sighed deeply.

Late-night showers always used to calm her down, this time however, a long, hot shower hadn't worked.

Piper wiped the fog that had formed on her mirror away and looked at her reflection. She pulled a face, her eyes were still red and slightly swollen from the crying she had been doing earlier.

Leo had managed to console her a bit, but that hadn't stopped her from constantly worrying about Paige. Years ago, a good friend of Piper had died from a brain tumor. Of course it wasn't the same as breast cancer, it was worse, but that didn't stop her worrying. Breas cancer could spread out to the organs if it wasn't discovered in time. Which would be bad because a tumor in the organs wasn't always as good to heal as breast cancer.

''Stop fussing.'' Piper told herself out loud.

She picked up her hairbrush and started brushing her long brown hair, still looking into the mirror.

Swish swish swish.

She closed her eyes as images of Paige shot into her head. Paige in the hosptial, barely able to move or speak, her pale face even more pale than usual.

Piper swallowed hard. No. It wouldn't get that far.

If Paige had breast cancer then she would get the Elders to heal her, no matter what the costs. They owed her.

Suddenly two stron arms laced themselves around Piper's waist and a pair of lips tickled her left cheek with a soft kiss.

''Done worrying, honey?'' Leo's voice sounded.

Piper put her hairbrush down and re-opened her eyes to find Leo standing behind her when she looked into the mirror. She turned around, Leo's hand trailing across the towel that was still wrapped around her body. ''I think so.'' She told him and she let him pull her body into a warm, safe embrace.

Piper closed her eyes and rested her head against his bare chest. ''She'll be fine Piper. With everything the doctors can do these days. Besides Paige is a Halliwell.'' He rubbed her back gently and kissed the top of his wife's head lightly.

''What's that supposed to mean?'' Piper murmered against the skin of his chest.

''She's stubborn and a fighter.'' ... ''Which is a good thing.'' He added quickly when Piper gave him a look.

''I guess so. Will you take me back to the bedroom?''

Leo nodded and lead his wife back to the warmth of their bedroom after she had put her pyjama's on.

TBC...
