Bane rushed through the hall towards the nurses' station, but before he got there he saw Leo pacing. "Leo? What's going on? Darryl called me at work something about an accident."

Leo looked at the man before him a man he had come to consider a friend. "It's Phoebe. She is in the ER right now."

"Phoebe? What happened? Where's Prue?"

"Come on." Leo turned and started down the hall to the waiting family room.

Bane stepped in behind Leo and as soon as he saw Prue he knew something was serious. "Prue?"

Prue looked up with a teary face and rushed into Bane's arms. "Oh god Bane."

He held on to her tight somehow trying to let her know it was going to be ok. "Ssshhh what happened?" Getting no answer from his wife he looked at Leo and Piper. "Someone please tell me what is going on?"

Leo sat down beside Piper and pulled her towards him as she too finally let out her tears. She had been trying to stay strong for Prue. But now that Prue had Bane she let out her own fears.

"There was a car accident. Some guy robbed a jewellery store and stole a car. When cops where chasing him he took a corner to fast and rolled his car. But not before hitting Phoebes."

He was stunned. "Someone hit her? She's going to be ok though right?" he waited for an answer as the room seemed to get quieter be the moment. "Right? Leo?"

"I'm sorry man. They don't know. But…" he never finished his sentence. He didn't have to; everyone knew what he meant. "We just have to wait for the doctor's to tell us."

Bane felt his own tears well behind his eyes. He was trying to be strong for Prue but he couldn't, he loved Phoebe like his own little sister and that didn't even cover his feelings for her as the person carrying his child. Child. What would happen now? If Phoebe survived what of the baby she carried inside her. A part of his and Prue's love.

He wasn't even sure when he had sat down. He was still holding Prue, who was now just leaning against him waiting for anyone to tell her that everything was going to be ok. That Phoebe and her baby were fine and everything was just a mistake.

Piper stayed in Leos arms but kept a watch on Prue. Their pain and worry was the same to some level but that is where it ends. To Prue it was more then just the thought of losing Phoebe; She was losing her baby as well.

"Leo. You need to fix this." She whispered.

"I can't. To many people have seen what happened. It would be a little strange for her to suddenly make a full recovery." Leo looked down at his wife, "I want to honest, but I can't. I'm sorry."

Piper sighed knowing her was right. Too many people would be suspicious. Phoebe was on her own.

Darryl walked down the hall to the hospital. He had heard what happened, as had all the officers at the station. Suspect had stolen a car and took off to avoid getting arrested only to take a corner to fast and hit another vehicle. Causing his own car to flip a few times and taking the other car with it in a tailspin till it slammed into a pole. But it was when Darryl found out who had been driving the other vehicle, was when he ran out of the station towards SFMH, makig the call to Bane after he had tried calling the sisters.

Now as he made his way through the white walls and dim lights he felt his heart restrict. He had promised Andy he would not just take care of Prue but her sisters as well. And now he was on his way to a room that was reserved only for family that had someone in the hospital, that only had a few hours at most to live; if that.

He stopped by the nurses' station before going to see the family, his family. "Bel?"

The nurse looked up a moment to see her friend before her. "Darryl hi. What brings you by?"

"The accident involving the pregnant girl."

"Friend?"

"Yeah. Remember Andy Trudeau?"
"How could I forget? I only had a crush on him since your guys first case."

Darryl smiled at the memory; "Yeah I recall that. Well it's his girlfriends little sister."

"What?! Prue's?" she had the crush on Andy but Prue got her man back. Bel wasn't jealous. She was happy for both of them and had become good friends of Prue's and they had remained friends even after Andy's death.

"Have you heard anything?"

"No nothing. Last we heard they were heading towards trauma three. Sorry Darryl. Tell Prue if she needs anything she knows where to find me."

I will, thanks Bel." He smiled weakly at his friend before turning to the door he was dreading going through.

He paused a moment before taking in a deep breath and pushing open the door. His heart broke more when he saw each girl with her respective husband. The four of them were sharing the couch with the girls in the middle. Each one holding on to the others hand.

"Prue. Piper." He stepped inside more and made his way towards them. He hated the fact there was nothing he could do for them. When they needed it the most he couldn't help them. This was in someone else's hands much more powerful then he was. "I'm sorry."

Piper was the first to move as she got up and pulled him in a hug. He knew it was more for her then him.

Darryl looked down at Prue, "Prue. She's a fighter. We all know that. She'll be fine."

Prue never said anything she just gave him a weak smile as she kept her head against Bane's shoulder.

"Halliwell?"

Piper stepped out of Darryl arms and towards Leo. She wasn't even conscious that she had done it as she felt his warm loving arm snake around her waist as they waited for the doctor to tell them what was going on.

Prue quickly stood up with Bane beside her and felt Pipers hand in hers at the same time. Letting her know she was there for her and that she also needed her.

---

From the moment he stepped in the room he knew his job was not going to be easy. Or was it before that? He had become a doctor to save lives. And now he was facing losing them every day. Drive by shootings, car jacking's, B&E's everything that went along with the big city. But this. A young woman and a baby. This is when he realized that no matter what he learned in medical school. Nothing could prepare you for what stood before him.

---

Prue felt her hand tighten on Pipers with each word he spoke. But to her at some point it was a drone, just a dull voice in the background of her mind.

"I am sorry. I understand this is hard. But I need to know as soon as possible." He looked at the four people before him. But was unable to get anything from them. "I'll leave you to decide. Just have the nurse page me when you do." He turned and quietly left the room.

Prue was stunned, shocked. She calmly stepped out of Bane's arms and started from the room, but she never let go of Piper, pulling her sister along with her.

--- ----

They sat in the near darkness with only the light of a few candles around them.

"I remember when I broke my ankle. She was so tiny then. But she insisted on helping Grams help me. She was saying about her helping out cause her Mummy was broke." Prue laughed as she pictured the two year old Phoebe ever so carefully carrying a glass of juice to her in the living room.

"I remember when she crawled up on your other leg. Stating your booboo and tried to give you a Band-Aid for it." Piper smiled at the memory she had of her baby sister.

They sat in silence each one drawn to their own memories.

Piper finally turned to Prue looking for anything, "Prue. What are we going to do?"

Prue starred up at the wooden cross in the small chapel they had found themselves in. "I don't know. I was hoping here we would get an answer. Maybe even from Mum. How can we decide Piper? She is our baby…baby sister." She choked on the last words. "My baby." Tears fell freely as she closed her eyes pushing back the pain in her heart.

Piper pulled Prue to her and embraced her tight. "I know. But we have to."

"How Piper? How do we choose between our sister and my baby? How?" her tears flooded mixing in with Pipers. Neither one wanting to choose who lives or who dies.
