I, as always, own nothing. They all belong to Aaron Spelling and co. I just borrow them for fun and because I´d like to think they enjoy themselves in my crazy mind.

This is a rewrite of the first time where all I have altered is some design and any mistakes I could find but I´m not the best in the grammar- or spelling department so if you find any, let me know and I´ll try to correct them.

Note: This takes place later that evening. Leo is still out with Phanessa and Kyle is somewhere else (You don't always know where Leo is in the show so just bear with me here;)) Pretend Cole is at work and Bane is just out.

Hope you´ll enjoy. Hugs and kisses.

The Power of Four- a new beginning

Rage, chapter thirteen

Piper gently closed her bed room door and sighted deeply before turning around and moving down the hallway towards the stairs. She bit back her tears but she knew it would only last until she saw Leo or one of her sisters. Then she would break.

Just before she had finally gotten Paige to sleep after she had cried out her eyes. She told her the rest of the story which included her baby sister leaving the man who had first raped her and then hit her until she miscarried. After that she had tried to do better but the hurt inside her made her drink even more and her parents were so ashamed of her. And then they had been killed. After that she finally left him but was terrorized by him until he found her alone and beat her up so very badly. She had been in a coma for three weeks and that made the court sentence him to 5 years in jail.

She had been a mess for a long time until she got it together and got her exams. After that she entered social services school to become a social worker and then Prue had died. It had taken her 8 years and then she met her biological family and had been rushed into witches and demons.

Piper swallowed deep before taking a deep breath and walking down the stairs. Phoebe and Prue sat in the sofa laughing and smiling about something. Piper felt horrible because she knew she would destroy that feeling in about five seconds.

Phoebe turned her head around at the noise from the last step on the stair and smiled as she saw Piper come. "Hey there you. We were just talking about where you and Paige were. Prue thought you were doing something witchy but I´m sure you were doing something more sisterly. Like braiding each others hair or talking about your guys or maybe even talking about getting Paige pregnant." Phoebe turned to Prue who had a sly grin on her face. "You know," Phoebe added. "The sex talk." Then she bursted out laughing followed by Prue.

She turned to Piper, expecting a smile or a laugh but instead Pipers eyes were filled with tears and her hands was fisted tightly together. The laugher quickly left both sisters eyes and they jumped up and took Piper into their arms.

Sinking down on the sofa Piper finally let her pain wash over her and she wept fiercely. Prue stroke her hair, resting her on head on Pipers which was placed on her shoulder. Phoebe placed her head in Pipers lap and hugged her tightly.

They let her cry until the tears just silently fell from her eyes and her sobs had stopped. Gently Prue lifted Piper face and asked: "What´s a matter, honey?" "Can you tell us?" Phoebe added, quietly. Piper nodded and sat up. Pushing a piece of hair back behind her ears she spoke words what would rip up the insides of those who heard it.

"Paige was raped!" Silence. Then Phoebe broke out in tears. "But I don't understand," she cried. "When?" Piper swallowed and began telling what Paige had told her. She had a feeling Paige rather if she told them instead of her.

"S-she was 15 years old. Fell into the wrong crowd and fell in love with the wrong guy. Apparently someone had told him Paige was an easy fuck so when she refused he just took what he wanted." Piper paused. She knew the next sentence would kill them both. "She was pregnant," she whispered and Prue too felt a sob escape her throat. "He wasn't pleased with it of course," Piper continued, her own tears just falling. "But somehow he managed to get used to the though and he began looking forward to it. At least that´s what Paige said. But then, one night, he came home drunk. Paige said she knew as soon as she heard the steps on the stairs. He beat her so bad that she miscarried. She was 4 and half months along when it happened. She didn't abort before the next morning and she had to push it out. She didn't know she was in labor until she went to flush and she saw it." Pipers voice broke and she began to sob. "It was a little girl."

Phoebes mind were blank. She couldn't understand the words that were coming out of Pipers mouth. She wanted to yell at her and make her stop saying these horrible things but her mouth wouldn't open. A sob escaped her and Phoebe began to weep. She felt as if someone ripped out her heart and smashed it with a hammer. The next thing Piper said made her stand up, determined.

"She´s pregnant. Paige," Piper stated quietly. "She told me she didn't know what to do because of course she was happy about it. It´s hers and Kyles love baby but at the same time she couldn't bear the thought of loosing another baby. She said it would break her."

"Then we just have to make sure she doesn't loose the baby," the voice was Prues and the tears in her eyes were now of both sorrow and grief but also of anger. "Do you think," Phoebe paused and shot a insecure look at Prue who nodded. "Do you think she would want to see us?"

"I know she would," a voice rang and Paige stood there her eyes red and swollen. Prue and Phoebe stood up and for a moment they just stared. Then both of them exploded and they raced towards her. Phoebe fell around Paiges neck and she cried for the both of them. Prue pulled her and Phoebe into a tight hug and she tried the best she could to tell her everything she didn't think her voice could handle with that hug. Piper came up behind them and Paige opened her eyes and gave her a grateful smile. Piper smiled back and she placed her arms around Prue.

"Come," Paige said. "We need to talk."

The four Halliwell sisters were lying in Prues bed. Paige had told them everything that had happened to her and they had cried together. For their men, Paige had asked them if they could tell their boyfriends so she didn't have to do it more than one more time and they had all agreed. In that moment Piper heard her daughters happy babbling and Leos laughter and had gone to talk to him.

Soon after Cole shimmered in and took one look at them. He didn't ask any questions but just took Phoebes hand as she offered it to him. He shimmered them into their own room.'

Paige sighted and Prue gave her a tight hug. "I will be here always," she whispered into Paiges ear. "I´ll be here if you can´t sleep. I´ll be here if your world falls apart. If you wake in the night then just come and wake me okay, sweetie?" Paige nodded and gave Prue a tight hug. "I love you Paigey. Never forget that," Prue finished as ripples in the air announced the homecoming of Bane. Paige orbed out before he materialized and he only just appeared then he felt the arms of Prue clinging to him.

He hurried to place Pandora in her crib and pulled Prue into a much needed hug. She buried her face in his chest and sobs wrecked her body. Tears of sorrow and anger flew from her. Bane didn't know what he had done or if he´d done anything but he sensed her need to cry so he just held her closely.

"Now," Leo said placing Phanessa in a high chair. "I wonder where mommy is?" Phanessa giggled and Leo grabbed a rattle lying on the kitchen table and gave it to Phanessa. Narrowing his eyes he searched for Piper inside and found her fast but something had changed from when he last felt her.

A sob made him open his eyes and he felt the air get knock out of him as Piper fell into his chest. "Hey" he smoothed and began stroking her hair. Phanessa had stopped playing and was carefully watching her parents. "Now what´s going on, sweetie?" Leo asked her gently but Piper shook her head. "Let´s put her down first, okay?" Leo nodded, knowing now was not the time to pressure fore answers and went to make her a bottle. Then he picked his daughter up.

"Come on baby girl. Let´s get you down for the night," he said and orbed out. Piper heard him change her daughter, feeding her and finally putting her down. She smiled sadly as she almost could see it before her.

Then Leo orbed back in and Piper let herself fall for the first time in that very long day. Leo sensed her need to cry while an intense pain settled in his heart. Something was wrong. With all the witches in this house. At least the grown ups.

Shaking his head he orbed them out and into their room. He carefully placed Piper on the bed and climbed in after her making himself comfortable as Piper snuggled into his chest and took a deep breath as to prepare herself for what she was about to say. He had a feeling he wouldn't like what she had to say.

Phoebe sniffed as the ripples formed and she and Cole stood in their room. She sat down on the bed, careful not to look at him. She began rocking back and forth to give comfort but she found nothing. "Phoebe," Coles voice was hesitant. "Can you tell me what´s wrong?" She wanted to shake her head. How on earth could she tell him that. She decided the best way was to just say it.

"Paige is pregnant," she started but was cut of as Cole broke into a smile. "That´s great, right?" he added the last part slowly because he knew there was no way Phoebe would be upset about her sisters happiness.

Phoebe shook her head, biting down on her lip to prevent the tears from falling. "It´s not the first time," she whispered. Cole felt his heart freeze. "Not the first time.."

Closing her eyes Phoebe blurted out everything she had been told the last 24 hours and Cole felt his heart freeze into a block of ice. And even though he had been a demon who killed for fun he wasn't sure his heart had ever been that cold before.

Kyle orbed into his and Paiges room, happy to be home at last. The day had been really hard. He had almost lost a charge and somehow he didn't feel quite right inside. There was this nagging pain in his heart but he could locate where it came from. He smiled as he saw Paige lying in their bed, sleeping.

Lying down beside her he gently stroke a piece of hair that had fallen out back behind her ears. Kyle felt his eyes narrow as he detected dried up tears on Paiges cheeks. He pondered for a while and was just about to leave as Paige moaned and opened her eyes.

They were red and swollen but she gave him a weak smile. "Hey honey" she whispered. "How was your day?" Kyle felt his eyes narrow again but he shook his head and kissed her gently. "It was okay. You?" Paiges face fell.

"I have to tell you something. And some of it will be just as hard for you to hear as it will be for me to tell you." She stopped. "First I have some very good news. I´m pregnant." Kyle felt his face lit up and he broke out in a smile. "Really? I´m gonna be a daddy?" Paige smiled a weak smile. "Yes you are," she paused. "But that´s not all." She sat up and got more comfortable. "You see, this has opened up something from my past I have tried to forget." Kyle felt his stomach tighten and he swallowed hard to prevent the vomit to come up.

"I have been raped!" The words ripped through him as a gun shot and Kyle felt his eyes tear up. "And he beat out my baby because he was drunk." And then the world stopped and when it continued, it was all pain.

Time passed and soon after a whole three weeks had past. Of course the whole family was in a world of pain but the children made it impossible for the adults to disappear in grief and anger.

The first time the sisters laughed together stopped suddenly because Kyle came into the room. Soon after it were tears leaking out their eyes in stead of smiles. It was hard but the good thing in this, as Phoebe pointed out, was the kids were too small to understand any of it. Paige had nodded and given her a small smile.

She was one month pregnant and the only thing that could expose her as a pregnant woman was the vomiting, the very sore bobs and the constant nausea. She wasn't showing and Paige told Kyle she properly wouldn't before she was quite far a long. Kyle struggled and smiled. He was okay as long as she was near by.

Kyle was having troubles in his life. Of course to know his beloved Paige had been assaulted had hurt them both but to know she could have had a kid now and someone, that bastard, Phoebe had exclaimed once talking to him about it, had taken that away from her made it so difficult for him to concentrate on being a whitelighter. He felt the constant need for justice even though he knew it wouldn't help he wanted to hurt this fucker.

He had been so close to call some old friends and call in favors but Leo talked him out of it. He was dead. He knew it but it was still so hard. Paige needed him there to be strong. She needed him if she wanted to cry or if she wanted to rage.

Kyle sighted. He wanted to be there for her but sometimes he wondered if he was to close. He couldn't stand to see her in that pain. It felt like a bubble of pain inside of him and it needed to explode sometime soon. He sighted again and gazed around. It seemed it was only Up There he could feel a little like he used to.

He nodded at a whitelighter passing by and couldn't help smile to himself as he heard their talk in whitelighter-ish as Prue had called it. She told them all about the meeting with the whitelighter-friend of Leo who had taken over his job for a while. It was when he and Piper were on probation. Paige had laughed and said she´d like to come up and see it all. Leo, quickly, talked her out of it, telling her she couldn't and Paige had rolled her eyes and muttered something about whitelighters being to stiff and Kyle had whispered in her ear: "I thought you liked it when I was stiff." Paige had rolled her eyes of him too but blushingly she had kissed him passionately.

A jingle told him someone were behind him and he was surprised when he heard Leos voice. "I know why you are up here so much, Kyle". Kyle felt a shift in the cloud where he was sitting (I don't know if whitelighters can sit on clouds but in my story they can). He felt his eyes tears up and the knot in his stomach grew. "I can´t stand it," he gritted it out though he teeth. "I can´t just sit and listen without wanting to kill him. Find him and hurt him so bad no one would be able to ID him," he confessed.

"But still I know I need to be calm and strong for Paige. She struggled so much as she told me. I never want to see her face look so sad ever again," he muttered.

Leo nodded even though he knew Kyle wasn't looking at him. "You know what I think?" he asked. Without waiting for an answer he continued. "I think you need to give in to the rage building up inside you or else it will explode sometime. Sometime soon and it will properly be at her and that´s the last thing she needs right now." Kyle swallowed and Leo patted his back. "I´ll watch out for her for a while. Tune in to her voice. You have to block it out and give in, do you understand? You need to do it. If not for you then do it for Paige." Leo stood up and just before his orbs disappeared Kyle heard him say. "And I think you know that if you explode on her, you won´t be alive to see your child. Piper and the others will kill you." There was a slight smirk in the voice.

Kyle sighted and stood up. He knew Leo was right. Tuning everything out. All of his charges he orbed to the one place he knew he could let go.

In an old warehouse far away from everything he let go. Things were broken and you could heard his cries of pain, anger, sorrow and all the other emotions he had hid inside him come out and leave him.

Paige was lying in her bed, she did that a lot these days. Between being pregnant her emotions made it almost impossible for her to get up. A soft knock on the door and Pipers face came into view. "Hey there, sweetie," Piper pushed the door up with her hip and entered with a tray. She placed it on the bed and helped Paige sit up.

"Thanks, Pipes," Paige said taking a sip of the warn green tea. "Ugh," she muttered. "I just feel so awful." Piper stroke her hair gently. "I know. All of us did in the first period of our pregnancies and you´re not that different from us," she smiled. "Plus you have some emotional baggage you need to sort out," she added. She took a piece of toast and took a bit. "I made it for both of us," she added as Paige raised an eyebrow at her.

Paige gave her a weak smile. "Where´s Pheebs?" she asked taking the salty cracker Piper offered her. "In the park," Piper said. "She said she needed some fresh air. I can understand that. Cole is investigating what happened to Robert. He´s using some connections he has from his work."

A few weeks before Cole got his job back as a lawyer after the Charmed ones recited a spell to make people forget he had been gone.

Paige felt her whole body stiffen at the mention of her ex-boyfriend and Piper noticed. She pulled her into a hug and muttered: "We need to know where he is. We need to know so we can keep you and your baby safe." Paige sniffled and nodded. "I know. I just wish I could make it all go away." Piper sighted. "I know, honey. But we can´t." Piper lifted her sisters face and said the words Paige had been longing to hear from her so long (I can´t remember if she has told her before and she properly has, but in my opinion Piper should say it more to Paige) "I love you, Paigey" Paige sighted, smiled and closed her eyes.

Phoebe sat in the park on a swing slowly swinging back and forth. The movement seemed to calm the baby inside her. She had been having a lot of false contractions lately. Properly because of the emotional stress she and her family had been under lately. Phoebe sighted. They needed something good to happen. Something that would take their minds of horror.

Her thought stopped because in that second a sharp pain entered her stomach and what felt more than sounded like a sharp pop announced that the water had broke. "Oh my God", Phoebe exclaimed. No one was around but she still smiled. This was it. The good thing that would take their mind of the horrible thing that happened to Paige.

Looking into the sky she cried out for Prue and within second Prue materialized in the park. "Pheebs? What´s matter?" Prue looked around hands raised and ready to attack whatever was threatening her sister. Phoebe smiled at her and grabbed her hand. "It´s happening," she cried. Phoebe pointed at her belly and at the ground. Prue saw the wet spot and a light began to shine in her face. A light Phoebe hadn't seen since the news of Paige had tore them apart.

"Phoebe! That´s great," she cried. Then she grabbed Phoebe and orbed then home.

Bane and Leo was sitting in the living room looking out for their girls when a jingle interrupted them. Pandora made a noise as she saw her mother appear and Phanessa giggled.

Pandora was now 2 moths and Phanessa were 6 months. Phanessa was beginning to make crawling movements and could sit by herself. The parents were of course very proud of her. Pandora was able to grab her rattle and enjoyed lying on her tummy, lifting her head.

Leo jumped up as he noticed the pained face Phoebe had and raced forward to heal. Phoebe couldn't help but giggle as he placed his hands over her stomach and frowned as the golden lights didn't appear. "Oh my God," Bane exclaimed loudly and a bang was heard from upstairs. Seconds later Paige and Piper appeared in orbs. Sadly for Paige this made her want to vomit so she raced out into the downstairs bath room.

"What´s happening?" Piper yelled hands raised. Now Prue bursted out laughing and Phoebe giggled in between gasps. "My healing powers are gone," Leo exclaimed but now Piper began to laugh too. "Oh sweetie," she giggled. "There is nothing wrong with your powers," she told him, picking up Phanessa who desperately tried to get her attention by inching forward.

"You can´t heal her because she´s not hurt," Prue stated as a matter of a fact. "Now, what you should be able to do is getting a hold of Cole and tell him that he better come home now because he is about to become a father." A noise interrupted them and the family turned around to see Paige standing in the doorway, holding her belly laughing so much tears were lurking out of her eyes.

(This might be a very bad jump but I need to save some emotions until later in the story. It might seem I´m jumping over Paiges pain to lightly but please bear with me)

"Oh my God," Paige gasped, still laughing. "Thank you Leo. You´re a better whitelighter than you know." Leo had a confused look on his face but Piper just kissed him. "Bane," Prue asked and he nodded, seeming to know what she wanted from him. Giving Pandora to her mother he shimmered out and a few moments after he shimmered back in with Cole, looking around wildly.

"Where is she?" he cried and was relived to see his beloved lying on the sofa, her head resting on Prues stomach.

"Phoebe," he cried and raced to her. Slowly she opened her eyes. "I hate you," she muttered gritting her teeth closely together. Cole stood up taken back. Chocked at that statement. "Ow," Phoebe gasped grabbing his hand, squeezing it tightly. "I really hate you!" she hollered.

Cole lifted his head and shot a confused look at Prue. She gave him a reassuring smile. "You can´t understand the pain she´s in right now," she whispered as Phoebe cried out about how stupid Cole was and how much she hated him. Prue giggled at Coles sad face and started rubbing Phoebes back. "It´s okay sweetie," she cooed. "It´s okay."

"Oh," Phoebe moaned as the contraction faded and she lifted her face, teary eyed. "I don't really hate you," she sobbed. Cole smiled and lifted her up from the sofa. "I know, honey" he whispered gently. "I know".

"Hospital?" he asked Leo but he shook his head. "Phoebes wants to stay here. The last few births have been at a hospital with big drama. She said she wanted it here, at home, so it wouldn't be so dramatic." Cole nodded. He shimmered his beloved girlfriend and himself out and Prue stood up. '

"Warm water and towels," she stated and Bane nodded. He and Piper took of into the kitchen. "Does anyone know where Kyle is?" Paiges voice was anxious. "I´ll get him," Leo said giving Phanessa a kiss on the cheek. "I know where he is" With that he orbed out and Prue took Paiges hand. "Come," she said. "I think Cole will need us in a second or two." Paige gave her a small smile and couldn't help laugh as they heard Phoebe scream: "I fucking hate you, Cole Turner"

Prue felt herself smile. This was hilarious, she thought but shook her head. "Not now," she scolded herself. "I need to be there for Phoebe," she didn't realize she said it out loud and jumped as Paige agreed. "Let´s go," Paige said orbing them out.

"I don't wanna do this anymore," Phoebe was crying. She had been in labor for over 7 hours now and she was exhausted. Paige was sitting besides her, rubbing Phoebes back to ease the pain. "Deeps breaths," she gently said not wanting to get her head bit off. Phoebe closed her eyes and bit down into her bloody lip as another contraction hit her.

"This one felt different," she thought to herself. Suddenly Pipers head shut up from between Phoebes legs and Phoebe was relived as she saw a special look on her sisters face. This could only mean one thing. It was time to push.

"You can start pushing the next a contraction comes," she quickly added the last part as Phoebe had started pushing, wanting the baby out.

Phoebe cried out and squeezed her eyes tightly, pushing with all her might. "I can´t do this," she yelled.

"Yes you can," Prue barked at her. The oldest sister stood besides Phoebe too and was helping her, (bossing, Phoebe muttered) though the pain. Suddenly Phoebes eyes widened and she screamed: "It´s coming. Something is coming."

Out in the hallway Cole was pacing back and forth. He had been forced to leave the room because Phoebe kept trying to hit him with her electricity. In the end Prue had snapped at her, yelling at her killing her husband wouldn't help and told Cole to get out.

Cole had noticed her little slip of the tongue but found it wisest not to say anything in that particulate moment. Suddenly a very high scream interrupted his thoughts and the tiny cries of a newborn sounded though the manor.

Leo jumped up from his chair and began patting his shoulder. "Welcome to the land of the suckers," he cried. "Suckers?" Cole was a total loose for anything sensible thoughts.

"Yeah," Bane chipped in passing them by them on the way into the room holding Pandora. "You know, the land of the softy dad," he grinned. "The one who always caves even if mommy says no." Cole swallowed. He had a feeling he was gonna be one of them.

Turning around Cole gave Kyle a look. He had been very quiet and seemed tired. Kyle looked up and smiled the first real smile Cole had seen on him for a very long time.

"So, she´s finally here." Cole nodded and he stood up. "Then let´s go meet her."

Cole slowly opened the bed room door and poked his head inside. In there was the most beautiful sights he would ever see in his life.

His girlfriend was half sitting half lying in their bed holding a small bundle of pink blanket and…

"Hi daddy," Piper giggled. "Come and see her," Prue said gesturing at Phoebe and his daughter. Swallowing deep he crept closer. Looking down he got the first glimpse of his daughter ever.

She was small and had her mothers face form. Her hair was gonna be brown, as far as Cole could tell. She had her mothers lips and nose but the eyes. They were his. No doubt about it.

Gazing at the little girl he grabbed on to Phoebes hand and he felt the tears sting in his eyes.

"Marry me," he said in a very low voice. "What?" Phoebe exclaimed snapping her head around to look at him. "What did you just say?" Cole stood up and went to his dresser where he found a little blue box. It had a ribbon on it and Phoebe felt the tears come to her eyes for the second time within an hour seeing this.

"I asked you if you would do me a very great honor and be my wife," Cole asked falling on his knees. Opening the box he took out a golden ring with a large diamante on it. Phoebes tears began to drop and she sniffed.

"I was first sent here to kill you," Cole began. "I was nothing more than a demon who wanted fame and fortune but I didn't know that you would give me that but in a totally different way that I first thought." He paused. "You´re making me rich in love and famous as the demon who fell in love with a Charmed one. And now you´re the mother of my child. Once I thought nothing would ever be more important for me than me but you have showed me that I was wrong. You´re more important to me than anything, even myself." Cole swallowed deep and continued. "So now I ask you. Not as a demon and not as a man but as just me, Cole. Will you Phoebe Halliwell do me the great honor of becoming my wife?"

The room was completely quiet as Phoebe whispered her ´yes´ in a strangled voice. Laughter and ´congratulations´ flew across the room and upstairs, in the attic, the symbol of the Charmed ones glowed golden.

Yay, another chapter redone. I´m making progress.

I hope you´ll stay tuned because I´m doing something really drastic in the next chapter.
