Author's Note: *Throws chapter* Here's the third chapter!!! Yes, I know it took me a little longer to post, but I got sick. I will post a fourth a lot quicker. Little note: If you haven't read love interest you may not get some of the spider jokes that are in this chapter…It probably wouldn't matter, but just thought I'd let you know.

I want to quickly thank Hogwarts-hero for helping me collect more ideas for this chapter. Thanks!

Also to everyone who reviewed, seriously, when I get reviews they make me really happy! I love to hear what people think, and can't thank everyone enough.

Billie watched silently as Coop carefully inspected Phoebe's side, his hands shaking slightly whether from the cold or the adrenaline of the situation Billie wasn't sure, but she knew her hands were shaking as well. Although it was dark, shadows cast upon them, both Billie and Coop could see the dark crimson blood that soaked Phoebe's top, the sight making Billie draw a quick breath in as she refocused her eyes on the ground, unable to look at the blood.

"It's deep, she's lost a fair amount of blood." Stated the russet haired man, his eyes flickering to Billie.

"I should have got to her sooner, done something more to help her…I-if I had of gotten here quicker, w-what if I stopped her from getting hurt." Billie quietly said, wiping away the tears that had started to fall, although it turned out to be a futile effort.

Coop shook his head. "You can't focus of the what ifs Billie, you can't do that to yourself."

"Can't I? Look at her coop, she doesn't deserve this!"

"I know, no one deserves this, but you freaking out won't help…you need to calm down." His soft eyes captured hers, willing her to compose herself, right now Phoebe needed her.

The flaxen haired girl nodded faintly. "I'm sorry, it's-it's just that…everything was great a few days ago, and now…now we're in this situation and I have no idea what to do."

Her breathing wavered as she took a breath in, her lips dry.

Coop smiled gently, although he himself was also freaking out…he just couldn't let anyone see, he had to be strong for both Phoebe and Billie. "Right now we just need to focus on getting Phoebe medical attention, the blood lost is profuse, I don't want to risk her loosing anymore."

Billie nodded although quickly shook her head. "No…we can't go to the hospital or anything, it's to dangerous."

"She needs help now Billie, I can't stop the bleeding for long."

"B-but, if we get caught…get found…"

The russet haired man nodded, his eyes drifting as he thought of a way to get Phoebe help, without going to the hospital.

A moment later his eyes lifted, looking at Billie.

"I have a plan." He said…

--

"It was lovely to have you around, both of you." Victor smiled opening his apartment door as he allowed the two women to walk out, he followed suit shortly after.

"Dinner was great." Said Billie getting a proud smile from Victor.

"Yes it was, I didn't know you could cook…and I have to admit I had my doubts." Laughed the brunette.

The graying man smiled. "Drive home safely, won't you?" Phoebe nodded in reply. "And don't be strangers, I'd love for you to come and visit more often."

"Of course dad, we'll come by tomorrow if you'd like." Phoebe said, knowing she had nothing else to do…and besides it would be good to flaunt Billie some more.

Victor smiled. "I'd love that."

With their goodbyes said and thanks exchanged Billie and Phoebe headed back to the car, both with wide grins upon their faces.

"He took it well." Billie said as she closed the car door, pulling her seat belt around as she clicked it in place.

Phoebe smiled. "Yes, he did. Although what was that whole freak out thing you did?"

"Oh gosh, please don't" Billie laughed holding her hands out in front of her. "I just want to forget that ever happened."

"I don't." Giggled Phoebe. "I thought it was cute."

"Cute? You thought my stammering was cute? 'Oh, hey lovely lamb, want more wine? Drink up! By the way I'm with your daughter!' that was not cute, that was major embarrassment!" The blonde grimaced, her imitation of herself making Phoebe laugh out loud.

"Well I happen to find you extremely cute when you're nervous."

Billie gave a small smile. "You're just saying that." She said mocking embarrassment.

"Nuh uh." Giggled the brunette, leaning over she captured Billie's lips, her hand resting on the younger girls thigh. "We should probably head back to the manor." She sighed breaking the kiss.

Billie nodded as her hand brushed back Phoebe's hair, both sitting in silence for a none moving moment before the blonde spoke. "Or we could just stay here…"

Phoebe grinned with vigor. "I like that idea much better." With that she pulled herself closer to Billie, their lips meeting again as their muffled laughs escaped.

Looking up at Coop quickly Billie watched him for a second before speaking. "Care to share that plan of yours?" Her voice was louder then she had expected and she saw Coop nod swiftly.

"It's not full proof, I-I don't even know if it'll work, but Phoebe needs medical attention, that priority." The young girl nodded her understanding. "And since it is too dangerous for you to go to the hospital, I thought…well."

"You thought what? Coop?" Whispered Billie.

"If we can get to Phoebe's condo…We can use some of her medical supplies, I'm sure if we-"

"Wait hold on a minute…Some lousy first aid kit is not going to do much."

Coop quickly nodded. "I know, I hadn't finished." Billie looked to the ground. "That would keep her stable while I go to the hospital and get some high quality medical things."

Billie's hand moved slightly as she brushed back some of Phoebe's hair, her other hand held tightly to the brunettes. "I-I don't know…"

And she didn't.

Sure it was a plan, a direction they could go in.

But what if things didn't work out, what if Phoebe got worse, lost more blood?

She could feel the fear that coursed through her veins, that same fear made her feel distant. Like everything around was just one big nightmare…she wished it was, because she really wanted to be able to just wake up, to see Phoebe's smiling face and have her lying next to her.

But it was her love that kept her grounded, told her that this wasn't a nightmare she could wake up from. She had to live it, if she didn't Phoebe might die. It was her love that made her keep her eyes open, instead of shutting them and staying in the dark.

She loved Phoebe too much to let her go, to allow her fear to control her.

Looking over to Coop she watched him move forward his hand resting lightly upon Phoebe's. "Billie, it's simple, we get Phoebe to her place, and I go to the hospital."

The flaxen haired girl nodded faintly, her head still not able to get around everything.

Coop gave her a fleeting glance before carefully lifting Phoebe into his arms. "I know it's not the most sail worthy plan, but it's all we've got."

Billie grimaced as she herself stood. "And what if this plan sinks? What then?"

"I-I don't know…But we can't think like that-"

"Think like what? I'm just being realistic."

"If this plan doesn't work, we will figure something else out…but we don't have time right now."

Billie nodded, her eyes focused steadily on Phoebe. Coop was right. They didn't have time to sit by and idly chitchat about their next move or a plan B, Phoebe was in trouble, it was up to them to help her. Fear or not she needed to suck it up and just go along with the plan.

"Okay…" She whispered, walking closer to Coop. He gripped the brunette's flaccid body tighter as he gave Billie a weak smile.

"When we get to her place, make sure you keep applying pressure to the wound, I won't take long to come back."

Billie nodded in the affirmative as the three of them disappeared into a glow of soft pink.

It wasn't dark when the two women arrived at the manor, sort of between that bluey-grey dusk and sunset. Jumping cheerfully out of the car they both made their way to the front door, their hands entwining as they smiled at each other. "Do you think Piper and Paige will wonder why we were so late?" Billie grinned.

Phoebe gave a light chuckle. "If they do, I'm sure you'll come up with some nifty excuse."

Billie shoved her slightly as she pushed open the manor door. The oak frame creaking with vitality. "My excuses are good, maybe not excellent but they are believable."

"Yeah, like your spider one."

"Hey! That was pure gold!" Billie said, feigning hurt.

"What was? And why are you two so late?" Quipped Piper, Billie gave Phoebe a leering look before turning to face the eldest Halliwell.

"Nothing, and Phoebe had a huge spider in her car!" A smile hit her lips before she continued. "We had to get it out, you know, cruelty to spiders is something I can't stand…So we used a tissue to carefully pick it up." She nodded throughout her speech.

"Okay…" Piper drew out, shaking her head slightly. "And it took you an extra forty five minutes to do that?"

"Uh huh." Billie alleged her voice rising as she tried to sound believable. "It was fast…kept running."

"I see."

The blonde cleared her throat. "Then it went under the seat and all, and we lost sight of it…W-well I mean eventually it came out…but not for like…I-it was very, you know, and all that-"

"We just wanted to have some private time, just the two of us, away from everyone." Phoebe cut in, saving Billie from more embarrassment, her hand moving to the small of the blondes back as she smiled at Piper.

"Okay, that's understandable." The older women said, turning on heel she climbed the stairs. "Hope you guys had a nice time at dads." With that she disappeared from sight.

Phoebe turned to face Billie her smile wide. "What was that?"

"That was me losing my ability to lie." The younger girl deadpanned although a smirked formed upon her face when she saw Phoebe smiling. "I guess I didn't exactly prove my whole spider point huh?"

"You could say it wasn't exactly pure gold." Laughed the diminutive brunette, drawing Billie into a hug.
