Chapter 3

Cole also heard the sound of the heart monitor, he abandoned his search for the doctor and ran back down the corridor, he peeked into Phoebe's room and saw her eyes closing. He knew she had heard the monitor and was glad she couldn't stay awake.

Turning the corner he saw Andy and Leo both in the corridor and nurses and doctors pooled into the room.

"What happened?"

"I'm not sure, her heart rate (not really sure what the monitors show) went crazy then flat lined."

"Phoebe just woke up." Cole said, hoping to take their minds off her for a bit.

"That's great. Is she awake now?" Andy asked knowing that she would freak if she heard what was happening.

"No, but I think she heard all the commotion before her exhaustion took over."

"It's good she's not awake now, we all know how close they are, she would be going mental now." Leo said.

There was an awkward silence where they were all lost in their own thoughts.

There was a sigh of relief when the doctors exited the room. They all heard the sound of a steady beep.

"Thank god." Andy breathed as he walked into Prue's room. Leo and Cole also sighed in relief before walking into the room.

Andy kissed her before sitting down next to her, "Don't ever do that again."

Leo and Cole both silently exited the room to leave Andy alone with Prue.

"Do you want to grab a cup of coffee?" Leo asked. He knew Piper wasn't going to wake up anytime soon but Cole might want to stay with Phoebe.

"Yeah, that'd be great. I need another wake up."

They headed down to the cafeteria which was only just re opening for the day.



"I thought hospitals were meant to be busy. Half of the rooms here are empty." Cole said looking around at the empty hospitals.

"This isn't San Francisco's main hospital, just the closest one to where they crashed." Leo answered. "Though it is usually busier."

"Maybe it's the holi..." He trailed off and Leo looked at him, both of them realising the day.

"Oh my god, i can't believe we forgot its Christmas."

"Do you think we should go get the girl's presents."

"No, they're not going to wake up anytime soon, we can have our own Christmas when they are all awake."

"Yeah, I suppose. So what did you get Phoebe?"

"Well, I uh, was going to ask her to marry me." Cole said, looking at his feet. "Do you think she's ready?"

"Cole, I've known them for a long time and seen, let's say a few of Phoebe's boyfriends, but she doesn't look at them the way she looks at you. I think she's ready."

"Thanks, It would be a pretty lousy Christmas if she said no." He said laughing, which caused Leo to smile.

"Yeah, it would."

They got their coffee's in the cafe and sat down talking about anything.

They were interrupted after about half an hour by Phoebe's doctor, Cole instantly thought of the worst.

"Is everything alright?"

"Yes everything's fine, Miss. Halliwell has just re awoken and is requesting you and her sisters. I didn't want to tell her everything, I think it's best if she hears it from a loved one."

"Thank you doctor."

Leo and Cole both went to Phoebe's room, not exactly knowing what she was going to ask.

"Hey Phoebs." Leo said as he sat down on one side of her bed, Cole kissed her softly then sat on the other side.



"Hi guys." She said quietly.

"Are Piper and Prue okay, what was the noise I heard earlier?" she already knew what it was.

"Nothing sweetie, just a false alarm." Cole said not wanting to worry her.

"Who was it?" she demanded.

"Prue, but she's fine." Leo said, smiling warily.

Phoebe nodded, blinking back her tears, "I don't know what I'd do if i lost one of them." She said, her voice wavering.

"Well you won't have to find out." Leo said smiling at her reassuringly happy to receive a smile back.

"when do you think I can get out of here?"

"Well, you need to rest for at least a day, if not more, and you'll need physiotherapy for your ankle, but you can go in a wheelchair till then, so i'd say not too long." Cole said thoughtfully.

"Can you ask the doctor?" she said smiling sweetly.

"How can I say no to that?" He replied standing up, "I'll be back soon."

"Leo, you were a doctor, will you promise to be totally honest with me?"

Leo knew she was going to ask something he didn't want to answer but he knew she had a right to know whatever it was. "Yes, Phoebe I promise."

"Will Piper and Prue pull through."

Leo swallowed, this was the question he was expecting. "Honestly Phoebs, I don't know. With comas you can never be sure. Unless they show signs of tiredness, or slowing down they should pull through. At least I hope they do." He whispered the last part, however Phoebe managed to hear it.

"Oh, I see..." she trailed off, she knew how much Leo loved her sister and for him, not being able to help her was probably the worst feeling he'd ever had.

At that moment Cole re-entered the room. "Doc. Says you have to rest up for 1 day, then you can get in a wheelchair and visit Prue and Piper but you're not allowed to leave the hospital for 2 weeks."

Phoebe pulled a face. "2 weeks, I'll suffocate in here!" she whined, crinkling her nose even more. "I think its started already!"



Cole laughed then kissed her nose. "Don't worry, I'll be here to save you from suffocation." He teased.

A/N. Alright, this was just a chap. on Phoebe waking up. The next one will be set a while after. This is totally AU by the way.
