Piper couldn't remember the last time she had run so fast. She didn't care how many people were looking at her, all she cared about was getting to the end of the hall and to her sister. She still couldn't believe when she heard Prue on the other end of the phone. Phoebe was awake and that was all that mattered right then.

"Prue?!"

Prue heard her sister the second she came around the corner and into their sisters' room. "Piper." Prue reached out and embraced her sister as they both stood by as the doctors looked at Phoebe.

"How is she?"

"I don't know yet. I was sitting with her and had Marie holding her hand when she moved. After that all I have seen are doctors in and out of here. Her eyes were fighting to open but she hasn't done much since then."

"You don't think it was a false alarm do you?"

"No, she's in there and she is trying to wake up. We know her, she is just waiting for the right moment."

"Probably when all these medical people get out of here."

Prue had her arm around Pipers waist and gave her a gentle squeeze as they both waited. "Where's Chris?"

"Leo. As soon as I hung up I called him. The second he appeared I grabbed my keys and took off out the door. I didn't even give him a chance to ask me what was going on."

"I hope he wasn't with a charge."

"If he was he knows how to find me. He'll bring Chris here."

Eventually the medical staff slowly cleared from the room leaving only Phoebes doctor.

"Prue, Piper."

"How is she?" Prue asked as they both stepped back into the room.

"Well I would say she is on her way. There are definite motor skills when we ran our tests. All we need now is for her to wake up."

"She will doctor. She is just waiting for a sister moment." Prue smiled as she took her sisters hand ion her.

"Well then. I'll leave you three alone."

Each sister took up a place on either side of the bed. Each taking a hand in theirs. "Phoebs. I know you can hear me. It's just us now. Piper, You and me." Prue ran her hand over the top of Phoebs head. Soothing away her fears much as she had done when she was a child. "Come on baby. Come back to me." She whispered as she placed a kiss on the same spot she had just touched with her hand.

Piper watched as Prue spoke with Phoebe. Everything Prue was saying was her own thoughts as well. "Come on Phoebe Chris needs someone to teach him how to play baseball. Because we all know Leo can't catch to save his life."

She heard the soft words, felt the gentle motion on her head and the back of her hand. It was familiar but then it wasn't. Her eyes fought to open, as everything was a blur.

"Phoebe? Hi sweetie." Prue felt the tear running down her face as she saw the deep chocolate brown eyes she missed so much. "Oh God Phoebe."

Piper didn't even bother to wipe away the tears she too had as she leaned down and placed her forehead to Phoebes, "Oh sweetie. I missed you. I love you so much."

She saw them, but everything seemed different, "P…Pwue..?"

"Yeah sweetie. I'm right here too."

"NO!" she closed her eyes tightly, "P…Pwue!"

Prue looked up at Piper confused, "Sweetie. I'm right here." She lifted Phoebes hand to her own cheek. "I was never going anywhere honey."

"NO!NO!NO! PWUE!"

"Prue I think your scaring her." Piper looked almost as scared as Phoebe did.

"Piper that ridiculous."

"Prue look at her. She's scared."

Prue looked down and saw what Piper had, fear in Phoebes eyes. "I'll get the doctor. Stay here."

"I'm not going anywhere." Piper replied a she kept her eyes on her sister. But even as Phoebe looked at her she saw the same fear.

Dr. Myers walked in the room and saw Phoebe awake. "Well I finally get to see those brown eyes I have heard so much about." He smiled as she stepped to the bed. Even from there he saw that Phoebe was scared. And he had a pretty good idea why. "Phoebe do you know who these ladies are?"

"Doctor…." Prue started t6 protest but felt Pipers hand on her arm.

Phoebe looked at the two women that the doctor was referring to. She didn't say anything as she held her gaze at them.

"Prue. Piper. I'd like to take her down right away for some tests. I promise I'll have her back within the hour."

They didn't even speak, they both just nodded and watched as two orderlies came and took their sister from her room.

"Prue I'm scared."

"I know, so am I." Prue agreed as she wrapped her arm around Piper. Hoping to give her at least some comfort as they waited.

Piper had almost fallen asleep leaning against Prue when she heard the door open.

"Dr. Myers. Where's Phoebe?" Prue asked looking past the doctor for her sister.

"Prue, Piper she is on her way up. But I wanted to talk to you two first."

There was something in his tone that scared them both.

"We ran some test. We won't have some of them back until later tonight or tomorrow. There is still some swelling on her brain. Most of it has gone down but there is still some cause for concern."

"Yeah she is scared of us. That's concern enough." Piper put in wanting to get to the bottom of what was going on.

"She is to a degree."

"A degree Doctor. I don't think so." Prue added, "I want my sister back."

"And she will come back but you need to be prepared for one thing." He watched their faces before he decided to just tell them, "As it stands now. Your sister's brain is the same as it was when she was four yrs old. To her, you remind her of her sisters but in her mind you are to old to be her sisters."

Piper covered her mouth to hold in the cry she felt escaping. Prue just sat their stunned.

"Is this reversible?" Prue finally found her voice.

"In some case yes, in others no. We won't know for sure until we get the tests back, either way we may not find out for some time. But be prepared for it to never reverse. She very well could stay like this."

A few weeks later Prue took Phoebes hand in hers as they made their way up the steps to the Manor. Prue had told her everything that Phoebe loved about the manor when she was little. Though she knew she would be looking for Grams as well as themselves at times. They had got her to understand that she was Pwue and Piper was Biper.

Later that night, after Prue and Piper, with the help of Leo and Bane, got everyone fed and bathed and into bed. Prue sat on the bed and read Phoebe Cinderella. Though as her sister drifted off to sleep Prue leaned over and placed a kiss on her cheek. "Good night my sweet baby."

Getting up she closed the door and leaned against the wall. Tears falling freely down her face as she felt Pipers arm snake around her waist as the two of them slide to the floor.

"We'll get her back Prue. We have to."

Prue didn't say anything as she leaned against Piper. Hoping that one day. Pipers words would prove true.
