Just my take on what may have happened when Piper passed out til she woke in the hospital with Pheobe on her bed etc.. in The Day the MAgic died



Oct 4, 2006


Phoebe ran her hand through her hair as she past once again by the coffee machine, before turning towards the waiting area once again. She had lost track the amount of times she had paced back and forth before sitting down on the leather couch with her head in her hands and then jumping up again as her nerves jostled her into some sort of action.

She knew that Paige and Leo where watching her but she also knew that they both had their own worries at the moment. She knew they were just as worried and impatient as she was….or were they?

It had been nearly an hour since they left the manor in a panic and the three of them rushed an unconscious Piper through the doors of the ER. And as she now paced, Phoebe couldn’t recall the last time she had been this scared...or did she? Her mind suddenly flashed back to a time she had lost a sister; the dragon warlock had killed a teen Prue and she sat on the kitchen floor hugging her sister not wanting or willing to let her go. Even after the genie was back in the bottle her oldest sister was still dead, and the feeling of lose was overwhelming.

She turned once again near the coffee machine as she ran her fingers through her hair and gripped the back of it as she closed her eyes. Thinking of Prue again brought back memories. Dealing with her death was something she didn’t want to have to face again, not so soon, not with Piper: she couldn’t survive that.

“Halliwell?”

Phoebe turned towards the doctor beside her.

“I’ve got Piper settled in a private room. She’s going to be fine, with some rest.”
“Can we see her?”

Paige’s words rattled in her mind, but all Phoebe could think of was her sister. She had heard everything she had said but it was through a thick fog of emotions. Piper was ok but she had to see for herself till she let down the invisible barrier she had put up.

She felt the arm slink around her waist and looked over to see Paige. Giving her sister a weak smile they made there way down the hall towards Piper.

Paige had sat on the leather couch waiting not so patiently on word on Piper. She had stopped watching Phoebe pace, sit down and then pace again. Her big sisters worries were taking a toll on her own nerves.

She knew Phoebe was scared, hell she was, but she knew with Phoebe it was different. It wasn’t two years ago she had lost Prue. And now here she was again waiting for word on a sister she loved more then her own life.

Paige recalled the sense of loss Piper and Phoebe both had when she first met them. Lost & scared, and it was something she knew that Phoebe couldn’t go through again.

She couldn’t believe how fast Piper and Phoebe had made their ways into her heart. Two years ago she was an only child, doing as she liked answering to no one but herself. Then all of a sudden she had this family that cared about her as much as she did them. Now she was sitting there worried about a part of that family she was possibly going to lose.

“Halliwell?”

Paige looked up and saw Leo getting off the chair he was occupying across from her. She let out the breath she didn’t know she was holding when she heard the words ‘settled and fine’. Her family was going to be ok.

She had got off the couch and gently wrapped her arm around Phoebes waist. She felt reassured when her older sister gave her a weak smile. She guided the two of them down the hall after Leo and the doctor, but she knew that Phoebe wouldn’t be close to her old self until she saw Piper for herself.

They walked into the hospital room and all saw her lying there pale and still.

“Piper.” Phoebe spoke quietly as she made her way towards Piper. She was the first to react and felt Leo beside her as she crawled onto her sisters’ bed and held her as best she could.

“Hey.” Piper gave her sister a weak smile as she leaned against her and took Phoebes hands to her own. She knew what Phoebe had gone through, where her memories had taken her.

Phoebe rested her head for a moment on Pipers, “You scared us.”

Piper turned into the love her sister was giving. “Me too. I guess I'm not so invincible after all.”

The rest of the conversation with the doctor and her family were shut out to Phoebe. All she cared about was Piper. She came to close to once again losing a sister and she didn’t like that feeling. Piper was going to be ok and she would do whatever it took to keep her that way.

She started to drift back into the conversation.

“No stress and bed rest. Do you think you can handle that?” Paige asked Piper though knowing the answer already.
“Yeah, I can handle that. I'll do anything.” Piper shifted ever so slightly against Phoebe, resting her head under her sisters’ chin.
“So will we.” Was all Phoebe said as she held on to Piper. Protecting Piper as she had her so many times over the years.
