Chapter 03 – Only hope.

Paige Matthews awoke early the next morning. She turned over without opening her eyes to cuddle into her husband, but opened her eyes when she felt that he wasn't there. His side was empty. Paige pulled a small confused face and sat up, pulling at the sheets to cover her chest.

''Henry?''

Obviously there was no answer and she moved slightly. Probably gone to work already. She thought to herself as she noted that it was already nine 'o clock.

Paige moved her legs off the bed and got to her feet. Just hope Phoebe's still home. She pulled her dressing gown on and made her way over to the door. When she opened it she spotted Phoebe just about to walk down the stairs. ''Pheebs wait.'' She said.

Phoebe stopped in her tracks and turned around, smiling slightly when she saw her baby-sister.

''Hey sweetie, shouldn't you be in bed just resting up?'' she greeted her and walked over to her to wrap her into a warm hug. ''Umm.'' Paige hugged back gently, ''I'm not tired. I just wanted to ask if I can borrow your laptop please?''

Phoebe pulled away from the hug and looked at Paige, ''Sure you can I won't need it anyway. What do you need it for?'' Paige shrugged, ''Just something I want to know, is it in your bedroom?'' she asked, avoiding Phoebe's question as much as possible.

''Oh. Sure yeah it's in my bedroom under my nightstand, but I – '' ''Thanks Pheebs you're the best.'' Paige gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and made her way into Phoebe's bedroom. Phoebe looked confused for a second and then shook it off, making her way down the stairs to have breakfast and go to work.

Paige quietly made her way into Phoebe's bedroom. She saw that Coop was still asleep on the bed and she smiled slightly. I wouldn't leave for work that early if my husband was asleep like that. She thought to herself and walked over to Phoebe's side of the bed as quiet as possible.

''Hmm Pheebs.'' Coop murmered, he shifted onto his side and dug his fingers deep into his pillow. Paige bit her bottom lip and picked the laptop up from under Phoebe's nightstand. She put it under her arm and glanced at Coop again who had a worried look on his face and then left the room quietly. She was actually feeling a lot better than yesterday, maybe that night of sleep had done her really good. Paige walked back into her own bedroom and took place on the bed.

She opened the laptop and turned it on, placing it on the bed she moved the covers back over her legs and waited until the computer had started up. I'd be happy if it was summer again, this one was way too short. She thought wrapped her arms around herself to warm up a little.

Ten minutes later Henry walked up the stairs, a tray of breakfast in his hands. The tray held a nice looking breakfast. Eggs, waffles, orange juice and a cup of coffee all of Paige's favourites were there and next to the plate stood a small crystal clear vase, holding one single rose. He used his elbow to open the bedroom door and smiled when Paige looked up from the bed. ''Surprise.'' He said. Paige let out a laugh, her first real laugh since yesterday morning, before she had went to the doctor's for a check-up.

''Baby you're so sweet.'' She moved the laptop off of her legs and changed her position so that her legs were stretched out.

''What were you doing?'' her husand inquired as he made his way over to the bed slowly. ''Just some research. Did you know 1/9 women in the world get breast cancer? And America has the most woman with breast cancer, then comes the Netherlands.'' She told him, causing Henry to pull a face while he placed the tray onto the bed.

''Why are you looking at all that Paige? You don't even know for sure if you –'' Paige interrupted him, ''And did you also know that every minute another woman in the world discovers that she has breast cancer? I mean that's like.. 60 woman every hour and umm.. 1440 women every day.''

''Paige.'' ''95 of the women with breast cancer are healed though, as long as it's discovered in an early stage.'' ''Paige!''

''What?''

Paige looked up at her husband whose eyes were filled with hurt and tears, ''Henry..'' she pushed the covers off her legs. ''Just.. please. You don't have it Paige. I mean you don't know if you do, but don't act like you're not going to get through this, because you are. You can't just leave I..'' The tears started to run down his cheeks.

''Hey, it's okay, Henry..'' Paige got to her feet and walked over to him, if she had known that this upset him so much she wouldn't have gone on about it all. ''Baby.''

She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly.

Henry closed his eyes and hugged back, resting his head upon her shoulder, ''I don't want to lose you Paige. I really don't want to lose you.'' He let out a quiet sob and held onto the back of Paige's dressing gown.

Paige closed her eyes and run her hand down his arm, ''You're not going to. I promise, I mean even if I die..-'' ''You won't.'' Henry cut her off sternly. He did not want to hear her say that, he couldn't stand it. If he lost Paige he wouldn't only lose his wife, he'd lose his best friend, his soulmate.

Paige pulled away from the hug slightly and put her hand on his cheek, ''I love you and I wouldn't leave you unless I absolutely have to.'' She gave him a soft kiss on his lips and let her thumb stroke his still unshaven, wet cheek, causing a small smile to play on his lips. ''You're hands are freezing.'' He told her gently. ''I know, sorry.'' She removed her hand, but Henry took both of her hands within his.

''I'll warm them up for you.'' He kissed the top of her right hand softly and sat down on the bed, pulling Paige closer to his body.

Phoebe put her head in her hands with a heavy sigh and closed her eyes. This is useless. I can't concentrate like this. She picked up that letters that she had planned on doing today and put them in the pink bag that was standing next to her desk. I'll work from home today, maybe that will help.

She let her chair slide back and got to her feet, pulling the bag over her shoulder just as Elise walked into the room without knocking. ''Phoebe we need you right now for a meeting and – I – Where do you think you're going?'' Elise took her glasses off and gave Phoebe a questioning look.

''I'm working from home for the rest of the day, because I..'' Elise cut her off, ''No no no, you're not going anywhere Phoebe. Not today, we need you for a really important meeting.'' She gestured towards the door and walked over to Phoebe when she didn't move. ''Come on.''

''I.. but Elise, I really can't work today. I have a family emergency.'' Phoebe protested. Elise let out a sigh and looked at Phoebe, ''What is it this time?''

Phoebe looked at her boss and silently looked for the right words to use. She let her teeth bite down onto her bottom lip and looked down at her desk. ''Paige might have breast cancer.'' Elise looked at Phoebe for a moment and shook her head lightly, ''Phoebe I'm sorry. When did you find out?'' She put a comforting warm hand on Phoebe's arm.

Phoebe fiddled with her bag nervously, ''Yesterday. She has to go to the hospital next week to get a mammogram and then they know more.'' She blinked rapidly as she felt the sting of tears behind her eyes. Why was she so upset over this now? Yesterday she had felt so positive and now she felt like she could lose Paige any moment.

''This doesn't always mean the worst Phoebe, but you were right maybe you should go home and work from there.'' Elise told her. Phoebe smiled slightly and gave her boss a hug, ''Thanks Elise.''

''Yeah yeah. Just don't forget the deadline is tonight, I want you to email your column to me before 6:00pm.'' Said Elise hugging back lightly. ''I know.'' Phoebe let go of her and left her office before Elise could change her mind.

Phoebe walked over to her Mini cooper looking for the keys in her bag. Where did I put them? She wondered and crossed the street of the parking garage. In her hurry she didn't notice the demon shimmering in behind her, a threatening energyball growing bigger and bigger in one of his hands. ''Got it.'' Phoebe took the keys out of her bag and froze when an energyball barely missed her. Shit. She thought. She spun around to face the tall, long haired demon who was working up a second energyball.

Phoebe quickly put her bag down after taking her nailfile out to have something sharp which she could stab the demon with and let her levitation power lift her into the air to dodge the second energyball.

''Do you really think you can vanquish me with that witch?'' the demon growled and moved closer to Phoebe, throwing another energyball. Phoebe let herself back down and nodded, ''Yeah actually.'' She blocked when the demon punched and grabbed his arm, flipping him to the dirty ground of the parking garage. Before she could thrust the file into his gut and send him off to the demonic wasteland he shimmered out.

''Whatever you want.'' Phoebe mumbled. She picked her bag up and unlocked her car. Send demons, why don't you. As if I haven't got enough to worry. She got into her seat with a heavy sigh and closed her eyes when the tears finally started to fall, making curves down her cheeks.

It wasn't fair, her sister, her baby-sister. These kinds of things happened to your grandmother or your aunt, but not to your baby-sister. Phoebe sobbed quietly and looked up when someone knocked on the window of her car. It was Coop and he had a pretty worried look on his face.

Phoebe immediately opened the door and threw herself into her husband's strong arms when she got out of the car. ''Phoebe, what happened? Elise said you wanted to work from home because you were upset.'' He rubbed her back gently. ''I – It's Paige. I'm so worried and then a demon attacked and.. I just..-'' ''A demon attakced? Did he hurt you?'' Coop interrupted her. ''No. He shimmered out before I could kill him.'' She pressed her cheek against his broad chest and closed her eyes. She was happy to have Coop. He was everything she ever could've dreamed off. Of course, Cole would always stay her biggest love, her soulmate, but right now she wouldn't want to trade Coop not even for Cole.
