Chapter 1
Poppy Pov
Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it...now I truly understand what that means. My name is Poppy Halliwell, but it wasn't always this way. You see a year and a half ago, I was Poppy Samantha Wilder, living in Jonesport Maine with my father. My father Samuel 'Sam' Wilder was a fisherman and he devoted his life to the sea, it took his life too. I guess it was in with the job description, quite a lot of fishermen along the coast of Maine get 'lost at sea' it has to be the worst moment of my entire life when they told me that my dad's boat had wrecked. I was 13 and alone, it had always been just dad and I, we were a team. There was a memorial service that was supposed to be a way of saying goodbye to him because they never found his body. 'To say goodbye'…How do you say goodbye to the only person who has ever been there for you? How do you say goodbye to a parent? That had to be the second worst moment of my life.
For the first week after the accident, I stayed at Uncle Harry's house. He's not really my Uncle but he was one of dad's best friends. Uncle Harry's was nice, and Aunt Louisa has to be the kindest most motherly person ever, but it still didn't feel right living with them. They have 3 boys, Mason the eldest goes to my school and is pretty cool, but Bobby is 5 and kinda annoying and Finn the youngest is just a baby, so poor old Aunt Louisa was running around all over the place and I couldn't help but feel in the way. So when I heard about some long lost family I was actually pretty happy…I had lost everyone and suddenly there's hope of finding others. It was the day after the memorial that I found out I had family other than him. I mean I obviously knew I had a mother, but my dad said she died when I was born and I just didn't know anything about her family, it's just always been dad and I...or so I thought.
My social worker Elaine told me that she had been in touch with my mother's family, and that unfortunately my Grandmother had passed away about a year and a half before, but that I had four sisters, four! And that my oldest sister was to be my new guardian as she had the others, she told me all their names began with a P like mine but could only remember the eldest's name-Prudence.
"Paige get your stinking feet out of my face will you!"
"Shut up Phoebe, these seats are so damn uncomfortable. Prue can I go buy one of those neck pillows?"
"No Paige stop asking me".
"Paige it won't be long now until her flights in".
"But Piper you said that twenty minutes ago...it's still not here".
"Well Paigey" replies Piper "you know patience is a virtue...one you don't have but still".
At that Paige pinches Phoebe who yelps and hits her back causing an all-out slapping match
"Guys stop it, it really isn't long". Piper tries to mediate, but fails
"Ok that's IT!" Prue says as she grabs Paige off of Phoebes lap and pulls her over to where she was sitting.
"Enough! I'm not having you two starting the second the poor girl gets here, she's got enough going on as it is moving in with complete strangers just after her father dies".
"But we're not strangers, she's our sister". Adds Paige
"Yeah but Paige" Reasons Piper "She didn't know this until two days ago, she doesn't have any idea what it's like to have siblings, it's a big change".
"Piper's right Paige, just be patient". Replies Prue somewhat calmer than before.
With that Paige settles into the seat grumbling to herself as she tries to nuzzle into Prue. Prue just raises an eyebrow to which Paige stops grumbling and throws her sister an innocent smile before putting her head back on her shoulder and closing her eyes.
As Poppy stepped into the arrivals lounge, she was greeted with the sight of four girls who had to be her sisters. They obviously hadn't seen her yet because what looked like the youngest two, were in the middle of an argument and by the looks of it, it hadn't been the first of the day; the one who looked like she must be Prue, looked far from happy and she was in the process of lecturing the other two as Poppy got closer.
"Paige, I have told you a thousand times to stop fussing; is it honestly that difficult?"
"Well obviously it is"
"Phoebe, that's enough"
"Prue…" the one who had to be Piper had spotted Paige and was nodding her head in her direction, Prue turned around
"Poppy? Hi sweetie how are you? I'm Prue" said Prue as she hugged Poppy
"Did you have a nice flight?"
"Err yeah it was ok thanks" answered Poppy somewhat uncomfortably.
"Hi Poppy, I'm Piper" another hug and introduction
"This is Phoebe, and Paige" the younger two both smile and while Paige waves, Phoebe gives her another hug
"Hi" greets Poppy
"Well, I'm sure you are exhausted after all that flying, so what do you say we get you home?" says Prue as she takes Poppy's bags from her and starts to lead the way.
"Piper has made so much food to welcome you with Poppy, you'd think we were throwing a party or something" said Paige as she helps Poppy with the rest of her bags
"I wish" replies Phoebe and with that Prue shoots her 'the look' and Poppy realised it was very obvious who's the boss in this household.
