She held on to her sisters hand tight never wanting to let go. Giving her any strength she could.

She hadn’t let go since she collapsed. Her mind wasn’t thinking straight. She took hold of the cell phone in her purse and started to dial aimlessly.

“Prue Halliwell.”
“Prue? Oh God.”
“Phoebe?” Prue hardly recognized her sister voice, “Phoebe what is it? What’s wrong?”
“Pip..Piper. She.. She passed out at the club. Oh God Prue.”
“Ok honey calm down where are you now?”
“Um on the way to the uh hospital.” She looked up at the paramedic.
“San Francisco memorial.”
“Um memorial. San Francisco Memorial.”
“OK sweetie I’ll be right there.”
“Prue..I’m.. I’m scared.” Her tear ran down her face tears she didn’t even make a move to wipe away
“I know honey hang on I’ll be there as soon as I can.” Prue was half way out the door to her office before she even hung up the phone.

As she made her way through the halls of Buckland’s she ran right into Jack.

“Whoa Prue where’s the fire?”
“Piper past out or something at the club. Phoebe is with her now. They are on their way to San Francisco Memorial.”
“What? What happened?”
“I don’t know. Phoebe is freaking out and I can’t say I blame her.”
“OK look just go I’ll let Cauldwell know.” He gave her a quick hug and a kiss before letting her go.

Phoebe ran along the side of the gurney carrying her sister. Never missing a step along side her. Still holding tight to her hand. It wasn’t till she felt a hand on her shoulder that she felt Pipers grip slip away from hers “No. Piper!”
“I’m sorry miss you can’t go in there.”
“No she’s my sister I have to.”
“I’m sorry. A Dr. will be out as soon as possible.”

Phoebe took a half step but the hand held her fast, preventing her from entering the ER.

She stood outside, pacing now and then. Every once in a while she would wipe away at the tear on her face. She finally leaned against the wall and let her emotions lead her to the floor. Sliding down the wall she held her face in her hands and let her tears flow.

Prue slammed her hand against her stirring wheel as she hit yet another red light. “Damn it!” she yelled out before it turned green and she took off.

Jumping from her car she ran into the hospital not really sure what she would find. Running up to the nurse’s station she came to a sudden stop. Making her way around some interns at the desk she ran down the hallway.

She bent down and pulled her sister in to her arms. “Phoebe ok I’m here now. Its ok.”
“Prue? I’m scared.” Phoebe managed to sob out into her sisters’ shoulder.
“I know you are honey so am I.” Prue shifted so she was sitting better on the floor, with Phoebe beside her.

Prue wasn’t even concerned that were siting on the floor. She held on to Phoebe in her arms as they both worried about Piper.

“Prue, Phoebe?” the doctor looked down at the two women sitting on the hospital floor.

Prue got up and pulled Phoebe to her feet, “Dr. Wallis. How is she?”
“She is still unconscious right now and we are running some test. I should have the results back by the morning.”
“Morning when?” Prue asked wanting answers then and now. “I’m sorry. We’re just..”
“Worried I know. You forget how long I have known you three Prue. I would say around eight.”
“Can we see her?” Phoebe asked quietly fearing that they wouldn’t let her see her sister.”
“Of course you can Phoebe. Let’s just get her settled in first. I’ll have a nurse come and see you.”

It wasn’t long before Prue was sitting beside Piper holding to her hand and her free one running absently along the top of her sisters’ head.

Phoebe had curled up beside Piper holding on to her other hand.

“Prue?”
“Yes?”
“She’s gonna be ok right?”

Prue looked into Phoebes worried loving brown eyes. What did she say? Did she tell Phoebe the truth and that she didn’t know? Or did she go with her heart and say yes she’s going to be great?

Prue took Phoebes hand in hers, “I hope so sweetie. But knowing Piper she’ll be kicking to get out of here tomorrow. She won’t want to leave the club to long.”

Phoebe held Prue’s gaze and knew her sister was telling the truth. Truth was they wouldn’t know till the next day. She shifted slightly and held her eyes now on Pipers face.
“I love you Piper. Don’t leave us.”

Prue left her hand on Phoebes as Phoebe held on to Piper. “Get some sleep Phoebs I’ll wake you if anything happens.” Prue knew Phoebe had taken it all hard and was exhausted from the night’s events. And it wasn’t long before her sister gave in to that same exhaustion.

Prue looked at Phoebe and then down to Piper. “Mum help us get through this. Please be with Piper and help her fight whatever is going on. I can’t lose her Mum. I won’t lose her.”

Prue looked into the brown eyes as they starred back at her the next morning.

“Morning sweetie.”
“Morning.” Phoebe replied as she looked down at Piper, “Any change?”
“Not yet.”

Phoebe felt her emotions once again try to take over, but felt the hand cup her face. “She’ll be ok Phoebs.”

Phoebe didn’t say anything, “did you sleep?”
“I’ll be ok. Why don’t you see if you can get something to eat?” Prue suggested as she ran her hand through her sisters hair.
“I want to stay here.”
“Honey we both need to eat. If anything happens I’ll come and find you.”

Phoebe leaned over and gave Piper a kiss before sliding off the bed. “I’ll see if I can find Dr. Wallis with the test results.”

Prue stood up and pulled Phoebe into a hug. “She’ll be ok honey. You have to believe that.” She gave her sister a kiss on the side of the head before Phoebe turned and left the room. Leaving Prue with Piper and to let her worry show more then she could with her baby sister in the room
