Soul Exchange

Meanwhile- Back At Halliwell Manor- Phoebe's Bedroom

         Phoebe settled herself back in bed and then bit her lip as she saw a photograph of herself and Jason, looking very much in love, sitting on her nightstand. As tears pricked her eyelids, Phoebe reached for the picture. As she grasped it, she was suddenly jolted into a horrible premonition. In it, she saw her sisters fighting a horde of female demons, who had periwinkle-blue-streaked black hair, wild eyes, long, sharp fingernails and fangs. They were fighting to protect Jason, who stood there, open mouthed in shock, watching what was taking place.

As Phoebe came out of her premonition, she was gasping for breath and shaking uncontrollably. "LEO!!!!!!" she sobbed. Seconds later, orbs sparkled before her, forming into Leo after a moment. "What is it? What's wrong?" Leo inquired worriedly. "Piper...Paige..." Phoebe managed between sobs. "They're in their beds, Phoebe," Leo assured her. "N-no!" Phoebe shouted, shaking her head vigorously. "What do you mean, no? Phoebe, you have to calm down or I can't help you," Leo stated gently. "Jason...Hong Kong!" she cried. "Are you trying to tell me...?" Leo trailed off as Phoebe nodded. "Okay, honey... can you give me a minute or two to sense them?" Leo requested. As Phoebe nodded her assent and tried to slow her tears, Leo continued, asking. "Do you think you can go and wake Glenn to let him know he has to listen for both babies?"

"Yes." Phoebe said in a low voice as she worked her way to the edge of her bed. "I'll be back," she added as she got to her feet and made her way to the door. Leo nodded and closed his eyes in concentration, scanning his Whitelighter radar for his missing wife and sister-in-law.

Meanwhile- Back In Hong Kong

"Look! There's Xin Shu!" Paige announced breathlessly as she and Piper barreled past the restaurant in pursuit of Jason. "So glad to know you can read in Chinese while running, Paige," Piper quipped dryly. "Well, at least we know Jason's not going there." Paige retorted with an attitude. "Must be going to see some Chinese Concubine or something."

"Listen, kiddo... keep it up and you'll go ka-boom!" Piper warned. "Huh! Like I'm afraid of you?" Paige scoffed. "Be afraid... be very afraid, brat!" Piper answered. "That could very well be the father of our little niece or nephew you're making snap judgments on. Wasn't it you who told Phoebe to 'have all the facts before you act', missy?"

As Paige was about to rejoin with a nasty comeback, Jason suddenly stopped to peer into a store window. Piper plowed into him, as she was still glaring angrily at her sister, nearly knocking him to the sidewalk with the force of the impact. "P-Piper? Paige?" Jason sputtered as he recognized Phoebe's siblings. "W-what are you doing here?"

"We came to find out what your intentions are for our sister, and the baby she's carrying...your baby." Piper announced, in a tone that challenged him to protest her statement. "Did she say it was mine? Because I'm not sure." Jason stated, attempting to sound tough. However, Paige's hazel eyes were locked firmly on Jason's blue ones, and she saw the pain and hurt he was feeling revealed in their depths.

"Deep down, yours or not, you know that you already love this baby, because you love Phoebe," Paige reminded him. "Don't tell me what I feel, Paige!" Jason snapped. "Ooh, did I hit a nerve?" Paige taunted. "Paige, don't." Piper warned in a low voice. Then she turned to Jason and informed him. "Phoebe is back in San Francisco, nursing a broken heart, Jason. Can't you at least give her the benefit of the doubt? She doesn't even know that we came to see you, but since you've been refusing her phone calls, we figured somebody had to take some action. Now is there somewhere we can go to sit down and talk?"

Back In San Francisco

Phoebe came running back into her bedroom after telling Glenn to listen for his daughter and soon-to-be nephew. "Come on, Leo!" she snapped impatiently. "Haven't you found them yet?! Let's move!!"
