Father's and Daughters

A/N: This just came to me while watching season 8.

Piper listened to her youngest sister ranting about her natural father once again while feeding Chris in his and Wyatt's room, the situation reminded her of Prue. And how much she had hated their own father, though the situations are in fact different it was so much the same. She saw Phoebe race by with Paige hot on her heals telling her how much she resented her father.

Piper sighed and put Chris down on her lap and reached over for her cell phone, she dialed the only person she knew could help.

"hi dad, its Piper, I need your help with something."

"what's the matter honey? Demon trouble? You need me to take the boys again?"

Piper sighed and looked at her little boy in her lap

"no dad, its sister trouble, and its something that I think you may be able to help with."

"are you and Phoebe fighting? Your old enough to..."

Piper cut him off

"no dad its not Phoebe, its Paige..."

Victor was silent for a moment and then tried to tell her

"Piper... I... uh..."

"dad I know she isn't your daughter but, the situation is sort of like you and Prue. And how your relationship with her was like. Paige is completely dismissive about her father who is trying to be in her life now that he knows that she is here."

"and you think I can help?"

"yes dad I think you can, besides I just need you to talk to her... you know what it was like with Grams not letting you help raise us, it kept you out of our lives and that was why Prue resented you. Paige resents her father because of the adoption, she needs some one else to tell her that mom and Sam didnt have a choice. She wont listen to me, Phoebe, mom or Sam, so that just leaves you."

Victor sighed and said to her

"i will try OK, I don't know how much it will help."

he was silent again before saying

"have you tried to call Prue? I know you have the power to call back the dead, I mean you call your mother and grandmother all the time why not Prue?"

Piper was the one silent this time and said softly

"dad, um, we have tried that before and Grams said that Prue isn't allowed to see us."

"why not?"

"well it was four years ago when we first and last tried, Grams answered the call and told us that Prue was not allowed to see us because it was so soon after she had died."

"honey that was four years ago, you should be able to communicate with her now."

Piper took in a deep breath and let it out slowly

"dad, um... I just think it would be hard to see her now..."

Victor knew it was a hard subject to talk about but he went on

"look Piper, I know its hard for you, but you have to remember that she will always be looking over you like all of the family is. She would be so proud of you, Piper, taking over where she left off, accepting Paige so quickly and helping her become a witch and just being there when she needed you."

"yea, and I am trying to be there again, and you are changing the subject."

Victor let out a frustrated sigh

"Piper honey I didnt mean to change the subject, look I will talk to her OK. I will be over later after work, I get off early around 2 or 3 OK?"

Piper got a better hold on her son before saying

"OK, that sounds fine, thank you dad."

"your welcome sweet heart, talk to you later, I love you."

Piper smiled and said "i love you too."

Hanging up she picked up her little boy and said to him "I sure hope grandpa can get through to aunt Paige don't you?"

Chris couldn't talk yet but he looked up at his mother and smiled, Piper went back to feeding her son and hoped that the talk would help her sister out greatly. She thought about what her father had said and made a mental note to try and contact Prue again if all else fails.

A/N: this is going to be a short story about Paige's struggle with trying to connect with her father, and Piper tries to save a relationship like she tried before with Prue and their own dad.
