Charles had been pacing the apartment and trying to call Piper ever since he had awoken at three to get a snack and she hadn't been home.
Then for an entire day, she had been nowhere to be found. He had looked all over the city and wrung his hands and panicked...and then the phone rang and he knew where she was.
Considering the circumstances, he wasn't sure if that was such great news, but at least he wasn't still wandering around the city, mid-panic.
He rushed to the hospital and into the room the doctor had given him. "Piper?" he asked. "Oh my gracious, what happened?"
