The Story of Piper Halliwell and Justin Harper

a/n: The word for this chapter is dictionary. I have decided to go into more details of Piper's first pregnacy. There will be some unknown factors in it. Enjoy! :)

Chapter 6
Piper's first pregnancy

I had been throwing up all morning and my head was still down the toilet. If I didn't hurry up then I was going to be late for school. "Piper get out here now before you are late." I heard Grams yelling from the other side of the door. "Grams, I'm not feeling to good. I keep being sick." I replied. She opened the door and seen me bent over the toilet once again letting my insides come out. "Piper go back into bed and I will call the school and tell them." I nodded feeling a bit better. It was obviously morning sickness, but I never knew that as I never knew that I was pregnant. I thought it was just a bug.

I went back into my bed and slept for a while. I wasn't sick again until the next morning. Again, I thought it was weird that I was only sick in the morning, but I was nauseous the whole day. This went on all week and most of the next one.

One afternoon me and Grams were sitting in the sunroom when she told me to go and put on some clothes. I did as she asked and then asked her why. "I got you a doctor's appointment." She told me. "I for one want to know why you are being sick every morning." We got into the car and went to the doctor surgery.

In the waiting area I was sitting next to grams trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks, as I put my hands on my boob. 'Shit' I thought 'I might be pregnant.' We had went over the symptoms of pregnancy in health class the other week and I have been experiencing most of them over the last week and a half. I never had the courage to tell Grams this little thought. I could still have been wrong. Now I think it was stupid of me to think I was wrong. My instincts have never let me down. And I have the stretch-marks to prove it.

The doctor called me into the room. It was tidy, and looked as though it was cleaned regularly. It had cupboards and and medical equipment everywhere. The smell of all the different medicines was making me feel dizzy. "Okay Piper, take your coat off and sit down. I will take some blood now and get some urine and give you a couple of tests to get to the bottom of your bug." He looked into my eyes as though reading my thoughts. "First I want you to answer a few questions." He started.
"Are you alregic to any medication, penicillin, aspirin anything like that?"
"No." I answered. I was worried if he was going to ask me if I was sexually active. He asked a few more questions.
"Now I need you to answer truthfully on these questions. Have you been sexualy active recently." I looked at Grams and faced away from her.
"Yes but, only once." I answered. The doctor wrote something down.
"Have you been experiencing any pregnancy symptoms lately. Nausea, morning sickness and sensitive breasts." I took a breath in sharply, my worst fears coming to life before my eyes.
"Yes all three of those." I couldn't even look Grams in the eyes.
"Okay then. Instead of blood tests, I think I will give you a pregnancy test. It will confer my suspicions." He took a sample of my blood and told me to wait here for fifteen minutes or until he came back.

It was just me and Grams in the room. "Grams I'm so sorry. I didn't realise at the time-" She cut me off with her two hands. I managed to look at her. Disappointment crossed her face. I had never received this look before. She often said that I was the responsible child. Apparently not any more.

The doctor came back into the room. "Piper, I'm afraid that you are pregnant. There are options on what you can do." He handed me several leaflets. "There is adoption, raising the baby and of course abortion." He said to me.
"I think I want to keep the baby." I said. In my mind abortion was killing my own child. I didn't want my baby not knowing where she came from. So it was the only thing left. I don't know why, but at this point I just started crying. Grams held me tight and I cuddled into her. Although it was clear that she was still disappointed in me but who wouldn't be.

Later that night I plucked up the courage to go across the street to see Justin. When I got half way across I was hoping that he wasn't home. I knocked any way. To my luck it was him who answered the door. "Hay, Piper. Is everything alright. I heard that you were ill all last week?" I nodded, but apparently it was unconvincing.
"Look Justin there is no easy way to tell you this, I'm pregnant. And your the only guy I have ever slept with." He looked at me with shock for about five seconds. I didn't think he was breathing. He then placed his hand on my stomach and kissed it. "Hi baby, I'm your daddy." he said before kissing me. Just as he was about to kiss me again. His parents came up the drive way. "Maybe we could go to my house and talk about this. Grams knows and my sisters are in their bedrooms." He nodded.
"Hi Justin, Piper, How are you feeling?" He asked.
"Better." I answered before Justin and myself walked down the driveway and back to my house. I couldn't help but think that I would be their favourite person when we told them about the current situation.

When we got there we decided to sit in my room. Just in case my sisters overheard us. "Okay so we know, when and how, but we don't know what, as in what now?" I said lying down on the bed.
"Well, for one we have to tell your sisters and my family. Secondly, do we even want this kid?" I looked at him.
"Justin. I was thinking about keeping the kid. I mean I don't want to give her up or have her aborted."
"Okay, how do you know that it is a girl could be a boy." He asked.
"There hasn't been a boy born into our family in over two centuries. I think that we can take our chances." There was a knock on the door. It was Phoebe.
"Dinner is ready. Downstairs if you want fed." She said and left again.
"Come on a meal cooked by my grandmother is bound to soften anybody up for what we need to tell them." I told him and we walked down stairs to have some dinner.

During the meal. I got a look from Prue. "I take it that your feeling better seeing as your eating again?" She asked. 'Just wait until tomorrow' I thought.
"There is something we need to tell you." I looked around at my sisters. Prue. put down her fork as Phoebe picked hers back up. "I'm pregnant." Phoebe's hand hung in mid air as she was half way through taking a mouthful of pasta. They were in shock. "Can somebody say something, or at least breathe." I said. Phoebe came out of her shock as put the fork on the plate.
"Oh my God." She said. "The big geek got pregnant." She laughed.
"Phoebe, don't laugh at your sister." Grams warned her.
"Piper are you sure?" Prue asked, not knowing what else to say. I nodded and went back to eating dinner.

We waited a week before we told Justin's parents. They sat in the living room as we stood together holding hands. "Mom dad, I know that this might come as a shock to you, but-" He started
"I'm pregnant and the baby is Justin's." They were shocked at first. Then it turned to anger as his dad got up and charged up the stairs to Justin's bedroom. We all followed.

He pulled a suitcase out from the cupboard and opened it. He then started to walk forward and backward putting clothes in. "Dad what are you doing?" Justin asked.
"If you think that you are old enough to have sex then you are old enough to have your own place." He yelled.
"Maybe he will change mind when he has thought about it some more." I whispered. "Maybe Grams will let you stay with us until then." I grabbed his hand again at that point
"You can get out of my house now, I will send your stuff to Penny when I get the chance." We were ushered out of the house by his mother.

We went back to my place. "Grams can Justin stay here his parents kicked him out the second they found about the baby. They said that they would drop his things round later." Grams agreed and told us to share a room as we would both be raising the baby.

Later on Justin had his things delivered to the house. His parents were serious about him being thrown out.

We had the first ultrasound a couple of weeks later. The baby was perfectly healthy and it looked like a little peanut was growing inside me. It was so cute.

Somehow the news had spread around the school. Missy Campbell came over to me one lunch time. "Hay Halliwell. Did Harper's junk taste good when it was in your mouth?" She asked me.
"At least I got some. Whereas you haven't as no boys like you, you little cow." I said before walking around her with my lunch tray. As I walked past Missy put her hand under the tray and hit it all over me. It made such a loud noise that the entire cafeteria stopped talking to look at us. A teacher walked over to us.
"What is going on over here?" Miss Gitridge asked us. She looked at me, I looked down I was covered in food. "Piper, go clean yourself up and then to my office." She told me. "As for you three, you can clean this up. And meet me in my office when you are finished." She said and then stalked off leaving us standing there with everybody staring at us.

After I cleaned myself up, I went to Miss Gitridge's office. I walked in. "Piper come and take a seat. The school is well aware of your condition. And is willing to accommodate for you." She said as if I was terminal instead of pregnant. "Now to get to the point. What happened in the cafeteria?" She asked me.
"Well I had just finished ordering my lunch and was going to find a table, when Missy, Becky and Ashley walked up to me and teased me for being pregnant. So I called a virgin and a cow before walking past her, but before I could escape her she put her hand under the tray and tipped it all over me." I started crying, I usually wouldn't cry in these situations, but hormones were working over time in my body and making me.
"Hay don't cry, it's all right. I have heard your side of the story." The door opened and the three girls walked in. They each sat in individual seats. "I want to hear what happened from your point of view." She told them, Missy spoke first.
"Well we were walking through the cafeteria to get lunch, when Piper walked over to us and flaunted the fact that she can't keep her legs closed in our faces. So I retaliated by tipping her lunch on her." She said the other two agreed with her. Making it look like her story was true.
"Why would a person tip food on another person for telling them something like that?" I asked identifying the gap in their lie.
"Well-I-well" She stuttered. I smiled triumphantly at her. Then seen Miss Gitridge put on a stern look so I stopped. "I think that I will call the principle because, the three of you need to realise that Piper doesn't need the stress right now."

The principle did fix it. He made it so that they were not in any of the same classes as me any more. That didn't stop other people from call me a slut and a whore and things a lot worse than that. Well at least by this point I never had morning sickness.

One day when I was about five months through, Justin's parents knocked on the door. They had went out and bought things to decorate the baby's room with, as a way of apology. Didn't invite him back to his own house though. But that was probably better for the baby. As the men decorated, I went looking for baby things in the basement. Mrs Harper helped me. I did ask Phoebe but she said no. I wasn't surprised, in her mind the basement was evil. I laughed then, but now I know that the shadow is down there. The baby room was perfect, it was beautiful and I cried in happiness when I first seen it.

I started having cravings. They were mainly liquorice dipped in gravy. And I hate liquorice. We went through a lot of gravy granules that summer. We live in Califonia, and even in the north, the summer was incredibly hot. So I was uncomfortable for the most part. I spent most of the summer getting fatter and fatter. I had been eating non-stop, and going to the doctor.

I was at the beach in late August, it was during the day and the whole family, other than Prue, had come down. I was just over eight months and looked like I was ready to burst open. I needed help to sit up. But I never let it stop me from having fun. When Justin had went to get a bottle of water. Phoebe and I had walked down to the water and filled a bucket up with water. I hid it behind my bag and Phoebe's. When he wasn't looking we tipped it up over his head. He was soaked through. He picked up Phoebe carried her down to the water and dropped her in it. I was laughing so hard I thought that I was going to go into labour, but I didn't.

Justin came back up with Phoebe and they looked at me. "What?" I asked them. They picked me up and together they took me down toward the water. I couldn't even struggle with how far along I was. I screamed as they dropped me into the ocean. I wasn't screaming because of the cold, wet water. I was screaming because my water broke on my way down. I was in labour. I didn't even realise, I had thought that the baby was kicking.

I was helped to my feet and we walked back to where Grams was sitting, the three of us soaking wet. I put my hand on my stomach as a contraction hit me. "Piper are you okay?" Grams asked as I sat down.
"It was just the baby kicking me." I replied.
"Piper did the baby not kick you as you fell into the ocean?" I nodded at Phoebe, wondering where this was going. "Doesn't that mean that you could be in labour." My face contorted in pain again as another contraction came. My water broke this time. A good indicator that Phoebe was right.
"We need to go to the hospital. Justin you can drive. Phoebe help your sister to the car and get her in the back, Justin we will pack everything away and put it in the car." We all did as she said and soon were on our way to the hospital. I was crying, it was so painful.

We soon arrived at the hospital, and Phoebe called Prue, as Grams got me signed into a room. My contractions were getting closer together. I was in so much pain. The doctor said that everything was going fine and that because I was three week early I was going to be watched for a while after. "I think it might be time." Is said between breaths. Justin held my hand.
"If you feel any pain then squeeze my hand. Okay." I nodded as another sharp pain entered my body. We both screamed in pain because of how hard I squeezed his hand.

Five minutes later and I was pushing, I had been in labour for about five hours now and I was exhausted. "Come on baby, one more push. You can do it Piper come on." Justin said to me as I found the courage to give one last big push as I gave birth to my baby. The doctor held the newborn up for us to see.
"It's a baby girl." Justin smiled at our new daughter.
"Hi there baby, I'm your daddy." He said to her. The doctor let me hold her.
"Hi baby. I love you." I said instantly bonding with her. "Justin why don't we call her Olivia. After your mom's sister?" He looked down at the baby. The week before his Aunt Olivia had been in a car accident and had died. "I love it, that way my daughter will always be attached to the aunt she never knew."

My sisters and everybody else came into the room with us, just after I got her to sleep. "Hi guys this is Olivia." I whispered as I watched her sleep peacefully. She was perfect and innocent. I couldn't wish for anything more than her. She would always be my baby. Even after I had the twins.

a/n: Yeah sorry it took so long to update, but I changed my mind of what I was going to do for this chapter two or three times. But I think that this one wins it.
